A top TNA star has revealed the reason behind his World title pursuit.
In almost two days at the Slammiversary event at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, Trick Williams is set to defend his TNA World Championship against Joe Hendry and hometown hero, Mike Santana.
Now, ahead of his title match, Santana recently appeared in an interview with Battle of the Battleground Podcast and opened up on why he wants to win the TNA World Championship.
“I just want to present that belt to my daughter, because she saved my life. She is, ultimately, the reason why I’m here in front of this camera. She’s the reason why I’m going to main event UBS Arena. So, that’s my main mindset right there is presenting that belt to her, because that belt belongs to her.”
