So without further ado, let's check out the 5 Talking Points from this week's show.

#5 X-Division champion gets into a brawl on IMPACT Wrestling

X-Division champion Trey Miguel battled Steve Maclin and Laredo Kid at Turning Point where he defended his title successfully by pinning the latter. Heading into the match, he had vowed to pin Maclin to retain his title.

Miguel cut a promo where he reflected on his win but expressed his regret at not being able to fulfill his promise when he was blindsided by Maclin. The two had a brawl leading security to separate them but the champion took them all out with a dive and stood tall.

Maclin has been relentless since joining IMPACT Wrestling.

Can’t get rid of me, can’t beat me, you simply can’t kill me @TheTreyMiguel
