Mike Santana is the new TNA World Champion after defeating Trick Williams at Bound For Glory. The conclusion of the event saw multiple wrestlers attempt to use the Call Your Shot trophy to challenge the new champion.
The championship match, which saw Konnan accompany Santana to the ring, was a physical encounter. Early on, Trick Williams sling-shotted Santana face-first into the ring post, which cut Santana open. Williams then whipped Santana into the ring post a second time.
Williams took Santana to the ringside area where Santana's daughter was seated in the front row. Williams asked her, "Who's your daddy?" and was slapped by her in response. Back in the ring, Williams executed a Uranage on Santana from the top rope, which resulted in a near fall.
Later, Williams grabbed the TNA World Championship title belt and attempted to use it as a weapon. As he lunged, Santana ducked, and the belt went flying. After an exchange of kicks, Santana hit Williams with his finisher, Spin the Block, for a two-count. Williams' lawyer then got on the ring apron and argued with the referee. Santana pulled the lawyer into the ring and hit him with a clothesline.
Santana then turned around and was hit by Williams' finisher, the Trick Shot, for a near fall. Williams attempted a second Trick Shot, but Santana moved. Santana blocked a Uranage attempt from Williams and hit a clothesline, followed by a successful Spin the Block to win the TNA World Championship.
After the match, Nick Nemeth came down with the Call Your Shot trophy to cash in his championship opportunity. Before the match could be made official, the lights went out. When they came back on, Elijah was present and hit Nemeth over the head with a guitar. During this, Frankie Kazarian entered the ring and told the referee he wanted to use his Call Your Shot, despite not having the trophy. Santana hit Kazarian with a lariat and then handed the TNA World Championship belt to his daughter at ringside.
