Bound For Glory was a monumental night for both
Josh Alexander and Frankie Kazarian. In the main event, Alexander remained IMPACT World Champion when he vanquished the nefarious leader of Honor No More,
Eddie Edwards. Earlier in the night, Frankie Kazarian triumphed over the trendsetting
Mike Bailey to become X-Division Champion for a fifth time. But just one week later, Kazarian uttered a phrase that sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling world, “Option C”. That’s right, the IMPACT veteran has decided to relinquish his X-Division Title in exchange for an IMPACT World Title shot against Josh Alexander, a unique opportunity that has been invoked only six times in IMPACT Wrestling history. With the epic showdown set for Over Drive, does Kazarian have what it takes to finally win “the big one”? Or will Alexander remain at the top of the mountain, a spot that he has fought so valiantly to attain?
After Frankie Kazarian relinquished the X-Division Title as per the rules of Option C, IMPACT Executive Vice President Scott D’Amore announced an 8-man tournament to crown a new champion, with the finals taking place at Over Drive. Check out this star-studded lineup:
Black Taurus,
Laredo Kid,
Yuya Uemura, PJ Black, Alan Angels,
Trey Miguel,
Kenny King and
Mike Bailey, one of these individuals will leave Louisville with the X-Division Title around their waist. Stay tuned to IMPACT! on
AXS TV as the tournament action plays out.
