Steve Maclin

He was granted his release from TNA on June 7, 2026, but he is not deceased. Here’s the bio:

Inaugural and former two-time TNA International Champion and former one-time Impact World Champion, Maclin defeated Kushida to win the vacant Impact World Championship at Rebellion in April 2023 before losing the title to Alex Shelley after a 54-day reign. In April 2025, Maclin captured the inaugural TNA International Championship by defeating Eric Young and AJ Francis in a three-way tournament final match at Unbreakable, becoming the first-ever two-time International Champion. His presentation as a gritty, intense brawler with a military-influenced persona felt authentic, with an in-ring style that is aggressive, physical, and grounded in realism.

Maclin was granted his release from TNA on June 7, 2026. Maclin last wrestled for TNA at its May 15 tapings, where he lost a TNA World Championship match to Mike Santana. In September 2025, Maclin, alongside his wife Deonna Purrazzo, launched their own podcast named Boots to Boots.
