Mustafa Ali captured the TNA International Championship from Trey Miguel at last month’s Rebellion pay-per-view. He has since retained his gold against Adam Brooks and indie talent TW3 (at UPW MarquetteMania IV).

The upcoming episode of iMPACT will emanate from Sacramento, California. It will also feature a TNA World Championship bout between Mike Santana and Steve Maclin.

Updated lineup for 5/21 TNA iMPACT:

– Mustafa Ali [c] vs. Chazz “Starboy” Hall for the International Championship
– Mike Santana [c] vs. Steve Maclin for the TNA World Title

411Mania, as always, will have live coverage of the event.
