TNA International Champion Channing Stacks Lorenzo quickly made his intentions clear towards Trey Miguel, who is slated for a title opportunity. This confrontation took place during the latest episode of Thursday Night iMPACT, held at the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Miguel started the show with a singles match against Adam Brooks from Melbourne, Australia.

Background on Lorenzo’s Reign and Miguel’s Return
Stacks Lorenzo secured the TNA International Championship by defeating Steve Maclin at the December TNA Final Resolution event. He has since defended the title successfully against wrestlers such as Shiloh Hill from WWE NXT, Eric Young, and others. Trey Miguel returned to TNA last month as a surprise participant in the ninth annual Feast of Fired match, where he won briefcase #4, guaranteeing a future title match for the International Championship. Miguel’s credentials include previous reigns as TNA X-Division Champion and Tag Team Champion.
Upcoming Challenges and the Stakes Ahead
At present, TNA has not disclosed when or where Miguel will officially challenge Lorenzo for the International Championship. The growing rivalry between Lorenzo and Miguel sets the stage for a highly anticipated encounter, likely drawing significant interest from fans of TNA and WWE NXT alike, especially given Lorenzo’s strong championship defenses and Miguel’s proven track record.
