Nic Nemeth remains your TNA World Champion as he put KC Navarro in his rearview in the main event of this week’s TNA Impact. Nemeth put his title on the line against Navarro in the headlining bout of Thursday’s episode on AMC, and came out of the match with a victory.

Navarro got off to a hot start with a superkick and a nearfall, but Nemeth battled back and took over the match. Navarro hung in there for 14 minutes and was able to get several near-victories. However, in the end, Nemeth was able to kick out after a 305 and Code Red, then Blessing in Disguise. He hit the Danger Zone to pick up the victory and retain his title.

As a result of the win, Nevarro has to leave Nemeth alone going forward. You can see clips from the TNA Impact match below.

Nemeth’s title reign, his second, now stands at 26 days. He won the title from Mike Santana at TNA Slammiversary.
