#5 X-Division Tournament: Round III on IMPACT Wrestling

The X-Division tournament kicked off following the Victory Road pay-per-view when former champion Josh Alexander chose to relinquish his title and go for option C. We have seen two top-quality triple threat matches in the last couple of weeks which saw Trey Miguel and Steve Maclin advance to the finals.

.@SteveMaclin isn't chasing the X-Division Championship for the glory or the prestige, he wants the title so it puts the target on his back and he can unleash mayhem for all. #IMPACTonAXSTV https://t.co/oOp1lrpjEt

IMPACT Wrestling kicked off this week with an incredible bout between El Phantasmo, Rohit Raju, and Willie Mack. All three men got a good amount of offense with each hitting some big moves. In the closing moments of the match, Willie countered a superkick from Phantasmo into a stunner. Before he could capitalize, he was distracted by the other members of the Bullet Club, whom he took out using an aerial move.

Rohit tried to use the situation to his advantage, but was countered by a punch from Phantasmo. The latter delivered a superkick to Willie, who was attempting to get back into the ring. He hit the CRII on Rohit for the pinfall and advanced to Bound For Glory to face Maclin and Miguel.
