TNA World Champion Mike Santana had an "emotional, meaningful" conversation backstage at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, TX. with WWE Superstar AJ Styles at the TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC debut episode last week.
During an appearance on Medd in the Morning, Santana spoke about that meeting.
“Man, definitely an awesome moment,” the TNA Champion said. “It’s funny because I feel like when I came to the back, we were both almost like looking for each other and beelining towards each other.”
He added, “Me, I wanted to express my gratitude to him for what he’s done for TNA and what he’s given TNA, and for him, it was him pretty much saying what you said, like, ‘the house is yours now,’ and to hear that from AJ Styles was, I mean, what more could I ask for, right?”
Santana would go on to emphasize how much it meant to hear such praise from someone he has admired for so long.
“You know, to hear this man who I’ve admired and respected for so long, and have followed his entire career, tell me like ‘You’re the guy’ and that he’s proud and TNA is in great hands," Santana said. "It meant a lot to me.”
