There is encouraging news regarding Steve Maclin following the injury scare during the TNA Sacrifice main event on Friday night.

The match, which saw Maclin challenge Mike Santana, was stopped early after Maclin absorbed a superkick and appeared unable to continue. Medical personnel quickly entered the ring, and the bout was halted as concern grew over his condition. Initial reports later that night suggested the situation could be serious.

Bryan Alvarez previously noted that Maclin was at least able to walk backstage after the show, though there was concern he may have suffered a concussion.

A more positive update has now been confirmed. According to John Alba of The Takedown on SI.com, TNA President Carlos Silva provided an official update on Maclin’s condition. “TNA president Carlos Silva told The Takedown that Maclin was not ultimately diagnosed with a concussion, as he cleared all of his tests and was released to go back to his hotel for the night,” Alba reported.

Maclin was taken to a hospital following the event as a precaution. After undergoing medical evaluations, he passed all required tests and was not diagnosed with a concussion. He was then cleared to leave and return to his hotel later that night.

This update removes much of the immediate concern that followed the abrupt ending to the main event. The stoppage had raised alarms due to how quickly officials intervened and escorted Maclin from the ring.

Despite the positive news, there is still some uncertainty regarding his immediate in-ring future. Maclin is currently scheduled to compete in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, on Saturday night as part of the MLP Uprising pay-per-view event. However, it has not been confirmed whether he will still appear on the card following the incident.

Maclin’s status will likely be monitored closely in the coming days, but the fact that he avoided a concussion and passed all medical tests is a strong sign that the situation is not as serious as initially feared.
