This post-show angle led to the announcement of the Texas Deathmatch and special guest referee stips for the TNA World title match at TNA Genesis 2026. PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that his sources stated that timing-related issues were not the reason why the angle involving Nemeth and Santana did not air on the live broadcast of TNA Impact!’s AMC premiere show.

As noted before, former WCW wrestler Marcus “Buff” Bagwell underwent leg amputation surgery this past July. In a recent interview with the Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast, Bagwell stated that he is currently hopeful of having one more match for his wrestling career after his leg amputation. Bagwell stated “I know I could wrestle again — another match or two. But if I can’t do it where it’s [not] ugly, I’m not going to do it. And I’m not sure that’s possible. I don’t want it to be ugly. If it’s ugly at all, I’m not going to do it.” Bagwell also gave his thoughts about one of the biggest hurdles for him for another potential match would involve climbing the steps to get into the ring. Bagwell stated “That will be the first thing you got to conquer, is getting in, or sliding in and getting up fast. But again, if I can’t do those things without them being [ugly], I’m not going to do it. But I think I can. I think I can do it where it’s not ugly. I just don’t know yet. So we’re definitely going to, in the next couple of months, I’m going to get in the ring and just see what I can do. But I really do think no matter what, I will do one match just because that’s one of my goals.” (Transcript h/t: F4WOnline.com)
