TNA Wrestling International Champion Steve Maclin and TNA Wrestling President Carlos Silva will be in Boston on Wednesday and Thursday, October 1-2 to preview TNA’s Bound For Glory, set for Sunday, October 12 at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts.

 

STEVE MACLIN

Maclin, who served four years in the United States Marine Corps before turning to pro wrestling, will participate in the 24th annual Tunnel to Towers Foundation 5K Run NYC on Sunday, September 28. Maclin will be joined by his wife, fellow pro wrestler Deonna Purrazzo, along with about 30,000 other participants - runners, walkers, first responders, veterans and service members – retracing the path FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller took on 9/11 through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to Ground Zero.

 

Maclin made his pro wrestling debut in 2013 and spent about seven years wrestling for WWE before joining TNA Wrestling in June 2021. He has been part of some of the biggest matches in TNA history, including a Barbed Wire Massacre match. The highlight match of his career came in April 2023 when he won the TNA World Championship for the first time.

 

On April 17, 2025, Maclin became the inaugural TNA International Champion, defeating Eric Young and A. J. Francis by pinfall.

 

Maclin served four years in the United States Marine Corps with 2nd Battalion 8th Marines from 2007-2011. He was honorably discharged as a corporal in the infantry as an 0331 Machine Gunner. Maclin had tours to Afghanistan in 2009 and 2011.

 

Away from the ring, Maclin enjoys comic books, video games, his three dogs and spending time with his wife. Maclin is finishing his bachelor’s degree online in psychology with a focus on mental health.
