#5 X-Division Champion Josh Alexander vs. AAA Cruiserweight Champion Laredo Kid (IMPACT Wrestling Bound For Glory)
Josh Alexander retained his IMPACT X-Division Championship in a high risk, breathtaking Ultimate X Match at Slammiversary 2021. At Bound For Glory, there could be a multitude of competitors across all promotions that could challenge him next.
