Last night's live episode of TNA iMPACT on AMC featured Daria Rae reinstating Steve Maclin and scheduling a TNA World Title match against the reigning champion, Mike Santana, for the upcoming 2026 Sacrifice pay-per-view.
This announcement occurred during a promo segment where Santana, frustrated with Maclin's continuous attacks after he was “fired” as a result of the Feast or Fired match, demanded that his rival be reinstated. Santana called for Santino Marella to come to the ring as the Director of Authority, but Rae instead made her appearance. She reinstated Maclin, and Marella later announced that the match would take place at Sacrifice.
Since his "firing," Maclin had made multiple appearances on the show, targeting Santana. He snapped after Santana praised him during his departure back in January. This match marks the first bout confirmed for the event.
TNA Wrestling’s Sacrifice 2026 is scheduled to take place on Friday, March 27th, at the John A. Alario Event Center in Westwego, Louisiana. The show will be available for viewing on TNA+.
