Trick Williams Vs Mike Santana for TNA World Title Set for 6/3 NXT – Mike Santana officially made his in-ring WWE debut on the May 27 episode of WWE NXT, defeating Tavion Heights in a hard-hitting contest that capped off his long-awaited first match in the company. The bout followed Santana’s surprise appearance at WWE NXT Battleground, where he made his presence known and set up the match with Heights.
Before stepping into the ring, Santana was introduced to the WWE Universe via a pre-match video package that highlighted his gritty background, his time in TNA Wrestling, and how much it meant to him to finally compete on the NXT stage. He was labeled “The Standard of TNA Wrestling,” signaling that his presence is more than just symbolic—it’s a statement.
Santana controlled much of the match with Tavion Heights and sealed the win after delivering his signature Spin The Block lariat.
But Santana’s night didn’t end there.
Later in the broadcast, TNA World Champion Trick Williams made his first official address since winning the title. The celebration was short-lived, however, as Santana interrupted him with sharp words and an even sharper edge. He accused Trick of disrespecting TNA’s legacy, calling him a “pretend champion” and stating he’d seen many like him come and go. Santana also mocked Trick’s outfit and made it clear that he didn’t plan to show him any respect.
The confrontation escalated quickly. Trick tried to walk away, only to turn back and attack—but Santana was ready. He laid out the champion, sending a clear message that he’s not just here to talk.
TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella then appeared via video to make their clash official: Mike Santana will face Trick Williams on the June 3 episode of WWE NXT.
With his debut win and a marquee match already lined up, Santana has wasted no time shaking up the NXT landscape.
