Steve Maclin has broken his silence following the frightening scenes at TNA Sacrifice on Friday, where he was removed from the TNA World Championship main event after being knocked down by a superkick from Mike Santana just moments into the match. In true Maclin fashion, the message he posted to social media was defiant and direct.
“Thanks, everyone, for the calls, texts, and tweets. You can’t f**king kill me. I’M BULLETPROOF. #MACLIN,” he wrote. The post provided immediate reassurance to fans who had been concerned about his wellbeing following the sudden stoppage of the championship match.
TNA President Carlos Silva Confirms Steve Maclin Was Evaluated and Cleared at the Hospital
TNA President Carlos Silva provided additional details during an interview with The Takedown on SI. Silva confirmed that TNA officials evaluated Maclin for a concussion at the venue before sending him to a hospital for further testing. The news from those tests was positive — Maclin was not diagnosed with a concussion and was discharged after clearing all evaluations. The update is a significant relief given the alarming nature of how the situation appeared in real time at Sacrifice. Eddie Edwards came out to give the live crowd something after the match was stopped, with Santana eventually taking him out as well. With Maclin now cleared and in good spirits, the focus shifts to what comes next for both him and the TNA World Championship picture heading toward Rebellion on April 11.
