TNA World title match moved to AMC premiere date as card develops

The TNA World title match originally set to take place at this month’s Genesis pay-per-view now has a different date.

Announced Thursday, Frankie Kazarian will now put the title on the line against Mike Santana on the Thursday, January 15 premiere of Thursday Night Impact on AMC.

Following Kazarian’s successful title defense Thursday over Bear Bronson, Santana cut a promo in the arena and revealed the match was being moved up by TNA officials.

Kazarian used his half of the Call Your Shot gauntlet from Bound for Glory to defeat Santana for the title in December after he was beaten down by NXT’s Dark State. This will be his first opportunity at regaining it.

Also announced Thursday, X-Division Champion Leon Slater will defend his title against Myron Reed after Reed won a three-way eliminator match that featured his fellow Rascalz teammates Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel.
