On the May 14 edition of TNA Wrestling’s Thursday Night iMPACT, the main event saw a Best 2 out of 3 Falls match for the X Division Championship as Leon Slater defended against Cedric Alexander. The intense encounter led to the announcement that the X Division title will be decided in an Ultimate X match at Slammiversary 2026, TNA’s biggest show of the calendar year.

The booking raises the stakes for both Slater and Alexander and puts the spotlight back on the X Division’s high-flying legacy heading into Slammiversary. Fans can expect a marquee, high-risk championship showdown when the Ultimate X stipulation is settled on wrestling’s big stage.
