Santana is getting his rematch.

There was an in-ring promo from TNA World Champion Frankie Kazarian that started the 12/11 TNA iMPACT. Kazarian was interrupted by Mike Santana.

Santana went on to reveal that he is getting his contractually obligated rematch for the TNA World Championship at the Genesis pay-per-view on January 17th in Garland, Texas. The pay-per-view is taking place two days after TNA’s debut on AMC Networks.

Kazarian won the title from Santana after cashing in his Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy. Santana had been weakened after he was attacked by NXT talents Lexis King, Robert Stone, Tyriek Igwe, Brooks Jensen, Stacks, Tyson Dupont, and Charlie Dempsey during their invasion of TNA.

Below is the updated lineup for Genesis:
