As previously reported, Steve Maclin appeared to suffer a legitimate injury at the start of his TNA World Title match during the Sacrifice 2026 event on Friday. He was assisted to the back, and there were initial concerns that he might have suffered a concussion.
According to Jon Alba from The Takedown on Sports Illustrated, Maclin was evaluated for a concussion and subsequently taken to the hospital for tests. TNA President Carlos Silva later informed The Takedown that Maclin was not diagnosed with a concussion, stating that the wrestler passed all of his tests. It has also been reported that Maclin returned to his hotel for the night.
This update follows reports that Maclin appeared to be injured after receiving a Superkick early in the match. While he was being assisted backstage, Eddie Edwards confronted TNA World Champion Mike Santana, who ultimately took him out.
