Kazarian returned to the ring last Thursday for the Impact premiere on AMC and lost the championship to Mike Santana. The two returned two nights later for a Texas Death Match at Genesis.
Kazarian finished his first reign as TNA World Heavyweight Champion after winning the belt from Santana on November 13, after using his ‘Call Your Shot’ victory to get a title shot.
