Steve Maclin suffered a serious injury at TNA Sacrifice during his TNA World Championship match against Mike Santana, with PWInsider confirming the early belief that Maclin may have sustained a concussion. The match was stopped shortly after it began when Maclin took a superkick, went down, and was subsequently helped to the back by medical personnel.
Eddie Edwards came out to give the live audience something following the abrupt end to the championship match, with Santana eventually taking Edwards out to close the segment. The stoppage immediately signaled that the situation was legitimate rather than a work, and PWInsider confirmed that assessment with sources indicating Maclin was coherent backstage but clearly upset about how the evening unfolded.
