Mike Santana will be facing off against Josh Alexander at this Sunday’s TNA Genesis pay-per-view event.
During this week’s episode of TNA Impact on AXS TV, Alexander said that his upcoming match with the former AEW wrestler was no longer going to happen after Santana suffered a beatdown from himself and the Northern Armory the previous week. Santana came out and quickly informed him that wasn’t the case, and instead, they’d be facing off in an “I Quit” match at the show.
Alexander accepted the challenge.

A new cryptic “23” vignette aired after PCO and Sami Callihan came to the ring this week. The two men faced off against The Hardys on this week’s show.
The Hardys wound up winning the match, which means The Hardys vs. The Rascalz in a pure tag-team title “dream match” will be taking place at Sunday’s TNA Genesis pay-per-view event.
And finally, it was announced that the crew from the “Busted Open Radio” podcast will be hosting the TNA Genesis “Countdown” pre-show.
