Tonights TNA Turning Point pay-per-view may be dealing with a major problem: former TNA World Champion Mike Santana has reportedly not arrived to the venue, and talent backstage are unsure where he is.
According to sources via PWInsider backstage at Full Sail Live, call time for talent was 1 PM Eastern, but by 2 PM Eastern, Santana still had not shown up. What makes the situation even more concerning is that Santana also skipped his scheduled meet-and-greet appearance after last nights iMPACT taping, just hours after dropping the TNA World Title to Frankie Kazarian.
Multiple members of the roster are privately talking about the situation, with one detail standing out: Santana is allegedly not responding to company calls or texts. That information has circulated among talents throughout the day, raising questions about whether Santana will even appear at tonights event. The update making the rounds backstage was described as follows:
TNA officials have not issued any public comment, and requests for clarification have reportedly gone unanswered. At this point, the company appears to be moving forward with Turning Point as scheduled, but Santanas absence has created uncertainty heading into the show.
This is a surprising turn of events, especially after Santana delivered an emotional promo on last nights live episode of TNA iMPACT, celebrating his journey back to the top and thanking fans for believing in him. Less than 24 hours later, the situation behind the scenes has taken a very different tone.
TNA Turning Point airs tonight from Full Sail University, but as of now, no one appears to know whether Mike Santana will walk through the door.
