The field for the upcoming TNA X-Division Championship match is now set.
On Thursday night’s edition of TNA Impact. Mr. Elegance defeated BDE in the final X-Division qualifier. The Elegance Brand member gained early control with a headlock, but BDE came back with a springboard crossbody and an arm drag. A dive through the ropes followed, effectively obliterating the finesse on the floor.
Back in the ring, Elegance ran around the springboard before blasting BDE with a pop-up right hand. His momentum rolled into a German suplex and a clothesline for a near fall. BDE then found itself at the end of the stand but was able to bounce back with a code cracker. Elegance fired back with another right hand and a lungblower. However, when he tried to go after Excusez-Moi, BDE escaped and rolled him up for the win.
With his victory, BDE officially punched his ticket to Bound For Glory, where he and five others will compete for the vacant TNA X-Division Championship. Leon Slater regained the title at TNA Lockdown by defeating The System’s Cedric Alexander. Shortly after, however, he invoked Option C, which grants him the TNA World Championship in exchange for relinquishing his newly reinstated title. He will now challenge Nick Nemet at the BFG for TNA’s biggest prize.
Joining BDE in the X-Division Title six side are Ryan Nemeth, Fabian Eichner, KC Navarro, Rich Swann and Alexander, the latter securing his spot via a rematch clause in his contract. Bound For Glory will kick off from the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida on October 11th.
Additionally, Sia Brookside will defend the World Knockouts Championship against Indy Hartwell. Ricky Sosa will face Eddie Edwards in singles.
