Nine years after the last event under the name, TNA brings Destination X to Edmonton with two Ultimate X matches, the return of the World X-Cup and three championships on the line. So, fans can expect a great show from top to bottom.
TNA World Championship: Leon Slater (c) vs. Trey Miguel
Leon Slater made history at Bound for Glory. Now Trey Miguel wants to end that historic reign. Slater defeated Nic Nemeth to become the youngest TNA World Champion ever, putting him at the top of the company at a remarkably young age. Miguel earned his way here rather than simply asking for the match. He defeated Moose, Elijah, Ricky Sosa and Jason Hotch in a five-man ladder match to become the No. 1 Contender.
TNA has spent time looking at both men’s journeys ahead of Destination X. Miguel has spoken about the hardships he faced growing up in Toledo, while Slater has discussed the responsibility that came with making history as World Champion.
There’s respect between them, but that stops mattering once the bell rings. Miguel is chasing the biggest championship victory of his career, while Slater gets another chance to prove why TNA put the World Championship around his waist.
TNA Knockouts World Championship: Indi Hartwell (c) vs. Shayna Baszler
Indi Hartwell finally achieved a childhood dream when she became TNA Knockouts World Champion. Shayna Baszler would like to turn it into a pretty short dream. Hartwell defeated Xia Brookside for the championship at Bound for Glory and then successfully defended it against her on iMPACT.
Baszler has since made her intentions clear by attacking the champion. She’s already one half of the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions, but the Knockouts World Championship has been in her sights since she arrived in TNA. Hartwell has survived her first challenge. Baszler brings an entirely different problem.
TNA World Tag Team Championship: The Nemeth Brothers (c) vs. Matt Hardy & Moose vs. syX
This started as Matt Hardy and Moose wanting revenge on syX. Then the Nemeth Brothers got involved and put the championships right in the middle of everything.
Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw have been targeting The Hardys, including the attack and Slaughterhouse syX Match that left Jeff Hardy out of action. Moose eventually tried to confront the group himself and got attacked too, bringing Matt into the fight alongside him.
The Nemeth Brothers weren’t originally part of the match. Ryan Nemeth demanded justice from Director of Authority Santino Marella, and the champions were eventually added. Now Matt and Moose don’t just have the chance to hurt syX. They could leave Edmonton with the TNA World Tag Team Championship.
Men’s Ultimate X Match: BDE vs. Joe Alonzo vs. John Skyler vs. KC Navarro vs. Cedric Alexander vs. Rich Swann
Ultimate X is coming back with six men chasing the same thing. BDE, Joe Alonzo, John Skyler, KC Navarro, Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann will compete for a future opportunity at the TNA X-Division Championship.
There’s no conventional pinfall or submission to worry about here. The objective is suspended above the ring, and somebody has to make their way across the cables and retrieve it.That’s easier said than done when five other wrestlers are trying to do exactly the same thing. Whoever survives gets the next big opportunity in the X-Division.
Knockouts Ultimate X Match: Tasha Steelz vs. M by Elegance vs. Xia Brookside vs. Shotzi Blackheart vs. Gabby Forza vs. Jada Stone
For the first time, Destination X will feature two Ultimate X matches on the same night. Tasha Steelz, M by Elegance, Xia Brookside, Shotzi Blackheart, Gabby Forza and Jada Stone compete in the Knockouts version, with a future Knockouts World Championship opportunity waiting for the winner.
That makes the timing particularly interesting. Indi Hartwell and Shayna Baszler are fighting over the championship elsewhere on the card, meaning whoever wins Ultimate X could already know exactly which woman she’ll eventually be coming after. Six women enter, and just one leaves Edmonton with a future title shot.
World X-Cup Qualifier: Amir Jordan vs. Home Town Man vs. Ricky Sosa
The World X-Cup is back in TNA for the first time since 2008. The tournament begins during the Countdown to Destination X, with Amir Jordan, Home Town Man and Ricky Sosa competing in the first three-way qualifier.
There isn’t much room for error. Only the winner advances to the World X-Cup Final later that same night, meaning somebody will have to win twice if they want to leave Edmonton with the tournament.
World X-Cup Qualifier: Fabian Aichner vs. Jason Hotch vs. Rey Horus
The other half of the World X-Cup equation will be settled between Fabian Aichner, Jason Hotch and Rey Horus. Like the first qualifier, only one wrestler moves forward. That person will then meet the winner of Amir Jordan, Home Town Man and Ricky Sosa later in the evening. By the time both qualifiers are finished, the World X-Cup Final will be set.
2026 World X-Cup Final
Two qualifying matches. Two winners. One more match to settle the whole thing. The winners of the Countdown qualifiers will meet later during Destination X to determine the 2026 World X-Cup winner.
It’s the final step in the tournament, bringing one of the company’s old international concepts back after an 18-year absence. The competitors won’t know exactly who they’re facing until earlier that same night, and both finalists will already have one match behind them before the bell rings.
