While you knew this was coming as the company spoiled it with a tweet earlier this week, Frankie Kazarian relinquished the Impact Wrestling X-Division Championship on this week’s episode of IMPACT! on AXS TV.
During the show, it was announced that Kazarian has officially exercised Option C, which means he’ll relinquish the championship in order to get a World Championship match against Josh Alexander. That match will be taking place at the “OverDrive” pay-per-view event on November 18th.
Scott D’Amore took the title from Kazarian and revealed that there will now be an 8-person tournament to determine a new champion. The tournament will begin next week and conclude at OverDrive.
You can check out some highlights from the segment and the updated brackets for the tournament below:
