Leon Slater TNA World Champion

Leon Slater becomes TNA’s youngest World Champion, Amazing Red wins gold, Erick Redbeard joins syX, and five titles change hands at Bound For Glory.

Leon Slater is the youngest TNA World Champion in history, and Bound For Glory delivered considerably more than one historic championship victory Sunday night.

The 22-year-old defeated Nic Nemeth in Tampa to capture the TNA World Championship, completing a remarkable journey from X-Division standout to the top of the company. Amazing Red celebrated his TNA Hall of Fame induction by winning the X-Division Championship for the first time in 16 years, while Indi Hartwell, Jason Hotch, and the reunited team of Shayna Baszler and Zoey Serrano also captured championships.

The Hardys suffered another devastating defeat when Erick Redbeard made a surprise appearance alongside syX, and Frankie Kazarian won the Call Your Shot Gauntlet for the third consecutive year before revealing an unexpected plan involving Avery Styles.

Elsewhere, WWE prepares for its first Raw following Money in the Bank, while New Japan presents King of Pro-Wrestling with five championship matches, including Yota Tsuji defending against G1 Climax winner Ryohei Oiwa.

It’s the Chairshot Wrestling News Report for October 12, 2026!


Leon Slater Becomes Youngest TNA World Champion in History

Leon Slater made history Sunday at Bound For Glory, defeating Nic Nemeth to become the youngest TNA World Champion in company history at just 22 years old.

Slater entered the match attempting to complete the journey he began when he exercised Option C, voluntarily surrendering the X-Division Championship in exchange for an opportunity to challenge for TNA’s biggest prize. The decision carried considerable risk because it meant abandoning a championship he had already worked to regain in pursuit of something he had never accomplished.

Nemeth made sure that decision would not be rewarded easily. The defending champion repeatedly slowed Slater’s offense, targeted his body, and survived several of the challenger’s most dangerous attacks.

The closing stretch featured multiple dramatic near falls. Slater connected with a Swanton 450, but Nemeth kicked out before countering another attempt and delivering Danger Zone. Slater survived the champion’s finishing move, keeping his opportunity alive when Nemeth appeared to have finally taken control.

Slater eventually sent Nemeth to the outside and followed with Big Play Slater, his spectacular dive over the corner post. He returned the champion to the ring, connected with a frog splash, and followed with another Swanton 450 to secure the three-count.

The victory ends Nemeth’s second reign as TNA World Champion and establishes Slater as the centerpiece of the company’s immediate future.

The significance extends beyond his age. Slater has spent much of his TNA career demonstrating that he possesses the athleticism and charisma necessary to become a major star, but Bound For Glory required him to prove he could deliver in a World Championship main event against an established veteran.

He did so without relying on interference, a surprise stipulation, or an opponent making an obvious mistake. Slater survived Nemeth’s best offense and won with the spectacular finishing sequence that helped establish his reputation.

TNA now faces the challenge of turning a historic championship victory into a sustained main-event run. Slater has already demonstrated that he can capture the championship, but defending it against established stars will require a different kind of presentation.

Nemeth remains an obvious potential challenger, particularly after losing the championship in a competitive match without outside involvement. TNA also has several other wrestlers positioned to pursue the title, including former champions and competitors who have spent much of 2026 waiting for another opportunity.

For now, Slater has accomplished exactly what he promised when he surrendered the X-Division Championship. He gambled on himself at the biggest event of TNA’s year and left Tampa holding the company’s most important championship.

TNA Bound For Glory Results — October 11, 2026

TNA presented its biggest annual event Sunday from the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida. The show featured nine matches, five championship changes, a major surprise appearance, and several developments that will influence the company’s direction following Bound For Glory.

  • Ricky Sosa def. Eddie Edwards
  • TNA X-Division Championship – Amazing Red def. Fabian Aichner, KC Navarro, Ryan Nemeth, BDE, Rich Swann & Cedric Alexander to win the vacant championship
  • TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship – Shayna Baszler & Zoey Serrano def. Allie & Kiera Hogan (c) to win the titles
  • Call Your Shot Gauntlet – Frankie Kazarian won, last defeating Trey Miguel
  • TNA International Championship – Jason Hotch def. Mustafa Ali (c), John Skyler & Special Agent Zero to win the championship
  • TNA Knockouts World Championship – Indi Hartwell def. Xia Brookside (c) to win the championship, with Mickie James as special guest referee
  • Moose def. Max Caster
  • Falls Count Anywhere Match – syX (Joseph Sawyer & Samuel Shaw) def. The Hardys (Matt Hardy & Jeff Hardy)
  • TNA World Championship – Leon Slater def. Nic Nemeth (c) to win the championship

The evening also featured the induction of Amazing Red, ODB, and Konnan into the TNA Hall of Fame. Red would go on to make his induction even more memorable by returning to championship competition later in the show.

Five championships changed hands, with the World Championship, X-Division Championship, Knockouts World Championship, Knockouts World Tag Team Championship, and International Championship all finding new owners.

The Nemeth Brothers remain TNA World Tag Team Champions following their successful defense against The Hardys on Thursday’s Impact, but Sunday’s developments created another potential challenge for their reign.

Max Caster also made his TNA in-ring debut, answering Moose’s open challenge. The former AEW World Tag Team Champion delivered his familiar entrance rap before taking Moose through a competitive match that ended when Moose countered a Mic Drop attempt and connected with a Spear.

Ricky Sosa opened the show with a victory over Eddie Edwards, surviving interference from Alisha Edwards before connecting with consecutive Headshots to secure the pinfall. Edwards offered Sosa a handshake afterward, providing a moment of respect following their physical encounter.

Bound For Glory produced several major moments, but the combination of Slater’s historic victory and four additional championship changes made Sunday one of TNA’s most consequential events of 2026.


How did Andrew Balaz rate TNA Bound For Glory 2026?


Amazing Red Wins X-Division Championship After Hall of Fame Induction

Amazing Red experienced an extraordinary evening at Bound For Glory, entering the TNA Hall of Fame before winning the X-Division Championship for the first time in 16 years.

Red was inducted during the pre-show ceremony alongside ODB and Konnan. Frankie Kazarian introduced Red, recognizing his contributions to the style of wrestling that helped define TNA’s early years.

During his induction, Red announced that he would participate in the seven-way match for the vacant X-Division Championship. The announcement transformed what had already been an emotional celebration into an opportunity for one of the division’s foundational performers to make history again.

Red joined Fabian Aichner, KC Navarro, Ryan Nemeth, BDE, Rich Swann, and Cedric Alexander in a match that featured the high-speed offense and innovative sequences traditionally associated with the X-Division.

The closing stretch saw several competitors come close to victory before Red found himself opposite Navarro. Red connected with a Spanish Fly from the ropes before following with the Code Red to secure the championship.

The victory marked Red’s first X-Division Championship reign since 2010, bringing him back to the top of a division he helped establish more than two decades ago.

That history makes the result considerably more meaningful than a routine surprise championship victory. Red was one of the wrestlers who demonstrated what TNA’s X-Division could become during the company’s earliest years, combining speed, creativity, and spectacular offense at a time when the promotion was developing its identity.

His influence extended well beyond TNA, with generations of wrestlers adopting elements of the style he helped popularize.

Sunday allowed TNA to recognize that legacy in two different ways. The Hall of Fame induction honored what Red accomplished throughout his career, while the championship victory demonstrated that he could still contribute inside the ring.

The result also creates an interesting direction for the X-Division following Leon Slater’s move into the World Championship picture. Rather than immediately positioning another young prospect as the division’s centerpiece, TNA has placed the championship around the waist of someone directly connected to its history.

Red’s victory was one of the most memorable moments of Bound For Glory, particularly because the championship was not simply presented to him as a ceremonial gesture. He entered a competitive seven-way match and earned the title by defeating six other wrestlers.

Shayna Baszler and Zoey Serrano Capture Knockouts Tag Team Gold

Shayna Baszler made an immediate impact in her TNA debut, teaming with Zoey Serrano to defeat Allie and Kiera Hogan for the Knockouts World Tag Team Championship.

The match came together during Thursday’s Impact when Serrano accepted a challenge from the champions and revealed Baszler as her mystery partner. Their history together in WWE provided an established connection, but Sunday represented their first opportunity to demonstrate that chemistry in TNA.

Baszler and Serrano immediately targeted the champions with an aggressive approach built around submissions and isolating opponents. They focused much of their offense on Hogan’s leg, preventing the champions from establishing the momentum that had carried them through their reign.

Allie eventually entered and mounted a comeback, connecting with several significant moves before Baszler interrupted a potential winning pinfall.

The challengers regained control during the closing sequence, with Serrano creating an opening for Baszler to apply a chokehold. Allie was unable to escape, giving Baszler and Serrano the championship victory.

The result gives TNA’s Knockouts tag team division a completely different presentation moving forward. Allie and Hogan brought an established partnership and considerable experience, while Baszler and Serrano offer a more aggressive combination of submission wrestling and physical offense.

Baszler’s arrival is particularly significant because of her reputation. Her two NXT Women’s Championship reigns and extensive WWE experience immediately establish her as one of the most recognizable wrestlers in TNA’s women’s division.

Serrano also benefits from the reunion. Rather than arriving in TNA and attempting to establish herself independently, she now holds championship gold alongside someone with whom she already shares substantial history.

The victory creates several potential directions for the division, including an immediate rematch with Allie and Hogan. TNA has not announced the new champions’ first defense or clarified whether Baszler’s appearance represents a longer-term contractual commitment.

Regardless of those questions, the company’s decision to put the championships on the team during Baszler’s first appearance makes clear that TNA intends to present them as a major threat.

Indi Hartwell Finally Captures TNA Knockouts World Championship

Indi Hartwell achieved a major career milestone Sunday, defeating Xia Brookside to capture the TNA Knockouts World Championship at Bound For Glory.

Hartwell entered the match determined to overcome the disappointment of falling short at last year’s event. Her championship pursuit had also been complicated by repeated interference and controversy involving TNA authority figures, making Sunday’s opportunity particularly important.

TNA attempted to address those concerns by appointing Mickie James as special guest referee. The Hall of Famer was expected to provide experienced officiating and prevent another controversial finish.

The match nevertheless became contentious when Brookside attempted to exploit the exposed turnbuckle and repeatedly challenged James’ authority. The situation escalated when Brookside slapped the special referee, prompting James to respond with a punch.

Hartwell capitalized on the confrontation but still had to survive additional offense from the champion. Brookside sent Hartwell into the exposed turnbuckle and connected with Darkside, only for the challenger to kick out.

The closing sequence saw Hartwell reverse the situation, sending Brookside into the exposed corner before connecting with a diving elbow drop and Hurts Donut to secure the championship.

The victory gives Hartwell her first TNA championship and establishes another major name at the top of the Knockouts division.

There is an important distinction between Hartwell winning and the circumstances surrounding the finish. Brookside initiated the confrontation with James, but the special referee physically striking the champion still gives the former titleholder something to complain about if TNA chooses to continue the rivalry.

Hartwell nevertheless survived Brookside’s offense and delivered the finishing sequence herself, giving the victory a substantial degree of legitimacy.

The championship change also creates another opportunity for TNA to develop Hartwell as a leading singles performer. She arrived with significant WWE experience, but winning the Knockouts World Championship gives her a chance to establish an identity separate from her previous accomplishments.

With Baszler and Serrano capturing the tag team championships earlier in the evening, the Knockouts division now enters a new period with completely different champions across its two major title pictures.

Erick Redbeard Joins syX as The Hardys Suffer Another Defeat

Erick Redbeard made a surprise appearance at Bound For Glory, aligning himself with Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw to help syX defeat The Hardys in a Falls Count Anywhere Match.

The match had already become one of the evening’s most violent encounters before Redbeard appeared. Matt and Jeff Hardy battled Sawyer and Shaw throughout the arena, using chairs, tables, and the surrounding environment in a match that frequently moved away from the ring.

Jeff delivered one of the night’s most spectacular moments when he launched himself from an elevated area of the arena with a Swanton Bomb, crashing through a table and onto Shaw.

The Hardys eventually appeared positioned to finish the match after driving their opponents through several dangerous exchanges. Matt and Jeff set up another table on the entrance stage and prepared to deliver additional offense from elevated positions.

Redbeard then appeared and completely changed the match.

The former Erick Rowan attacked both Hardys, driving Matt through a table before powerbombing Jeff through another. The interference left both brothers vulnerable, allowing Sawyer and Shaw to return them to the ring and secure the victory.

The appearance is significant because of Redbeard’s history with the wrestlers now performing as syX. Sawyer and Shaw previously competed in WWE as Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis, respectively, where they were associated with the Wyatt Sicks alongside Rowan.

Their reunion in TNA provides an established connection without requiring the company to introduce an entirely unrelated character into the rivalry.

It also makes syX considerably more dangerous. Sawyer and Shaw have already demonstrated a willingness to attack opponents through intimidation and unpredictable violence, but Redbeard adds another physically imposing member to the group.

The Hardys now find themselves facing a larger problem than the original two-man team. Their rivalry began with repeated attacks and interference, but Sunday’s result suggests syX may be expanding into something more substantial.

TNA also announced an interesting development immediately after the match. Director of Authority Santino Marella revealed that The Hardys will control Thursday’s episode of Impact, giving Matt and Jeff an opportunity to respond to what happened at Bound For Glory.

The company has not explained the full extent of that authority, but the announcement creates an obvious reason to watch Thursday’s show. The Hardys have an opportunity to use their temporary control to confront syX and address Redbeard’s arrival.

Sunday may have ended with Sawyer, Shaw, and Redbeard standing tall, but the rivalry is clearly not finished.

Frankie Kazarian Wins Third Straight Call Your Shot, Chooses Avery Styles

Frankie Kazarian won the Call Your Shot Gauntlet for the third consecutive year Sunday, then revealed that he intends to use his championship opportunity in a completely different way.

Rather than pursuing the TNA World Championship, Kazarian announced that he plans to challenge for the TNA World Tag Team Championship alongside Avery Styles.

The announcement came after a Gauntlet that featured several surprise entrants, unusual eliminations, and Avery’s official TNA in-ring debut.

Trey Miguel entered the match at No. 1 after suffering the deciding fall in Thursday’s eight-man tag, while Joe Alonzo entered last after earning the No. 20 position.

Alonzo’s advantage did not produce the result he expected. Avery eliminated him during the match, preventing the final entrant from turning his favorable position into a championship opportunity.

The match eventually came down to Kazarian and Miguel, with the final two competitors transitioning into a traditional wrestling match. Kazarian survived Miguel’s offense before catching him with a rollup to secure another Call Your Shot victory.

The result gives Kazarian an extraordinary record in the annual match, but his decision afterward creates the more interesting story.

Kazarian has been closely involved in Avery’s introduction to TNA, helping guide the young wrestler as he begins his professional career. Avery’s connection to AJ Styles already gives him considerable attention, particularly within a company where his father became one of its defining performers.

Using the Call Your Shot opportunity to pursue tag team gold alongside Avery would immediately place the young wrestler into a major championship program.

The current champions are Nic and Ryan Nemeth, who successfully defended against The Hardys on Thursday’s Impact. Kazarian’s announcement therefore creates another potential challenge for a team that has already survived several difficult situations.

It also gives Avery a chance to establish himself through an experienced partner rather than being forced into a major singles program immediately.

Kazarian’s decision is especially interesting because Leon Slater’s World Championship victory created an obvious opportunity for someone holding a future title shot. Instead of targeting the newly crowned champion, Kazarian has chosen to pursue a different championship and help elevate the next generation.

TNA has not announced when Kazarian and Avery will receive their opportunity, but the direction is now established.

Jason Hotch Regains International Championship as Order 4 Implodes

Jason Hotch captured the TNA International Championship Sunday, defeating Mustafa Ali, John Skyler, and Special Agent Zero in a four-way match built around the collapse of Order 4.

The match featured several moments where former allies temporarily worked together before turning against one another. The competitors repeatedly interrupted potential pinfalls, making it difficult for anyone to establish control.

Special Agent Zero used his considerable size advantage throughout the contest, while Ali relied on his athleticism and familiarity with the other competitors to create opportunities.

The closing sequence developed when Ali connected with a 450 Splash on Hotch and appeared positioned to retain his championship. Hotch countered the cover into a rollup and secured the pinfall, regaining the International Championship.

The result represents an important victory for Hotch after weeks of conflict involving Ali and the other members of the faction.

Order 4’s problems have been developing for some time, with the group’s members increasingly questioning Ali’s leadership and their positions within the faction. Sunday’s championship match brought those tensions into the ring, where every participant had an opportunity to pursue the title independently.

Hotch now holds the championship, but the larger question concerns what remains of Order 4.

Ali has lost the title, Skyler failed to capitalize on his opportunity, and Special Agent Zero was unable to use his physical advantages to secure the victory. Their shared history remains unresolved, and the championship change gives the former champion another reason to pursue Hotch.

TNA has an opportunity to continue the rivalry without keeping all four wrestlers permanently attached to the same program. Hotch can begin establishing his own championship reign while the other members determine whether their relationships can be repaired.

For now, the most important development is that Hotch has regained championship gold and emerged from the faction’s internal conflict with the biggest prize available.

WWE Raw Preview — October 12, 2026

WWE presents its first Raw following Money in the Bank tonight from the Brookshire Grocery Arena in Bossier City, Louisiana, with two significant matches and several major developments expected following Saturday’s premium live event.

Raw General Manager Adam Pearce confirmed additional programming Sunday, including an appearance by new Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan and a singles match between Rey Mysterio and Big Cass.

  • Intercontinental Championship – Chad Gable (c) vs. Rey Fenix
  • Six-Man Tag Team Match – The Usos & Solo Sikoa vs. Royce Keys, Bronco Nima & Lucien Price
  • Rey Mysterio vs. Big Cass
  • Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan appears
  • Possible medical update on Je’Von Evans

The Intercontinental Championship match gives Rey Fenix an opportunity to add another major championship to his collection. Fenix earned the opportunity after defeating Ethan Page last Monday, with Gable subsequently offering him a title match.

Fenix already holds the AAA World Cruiserweight Championship, creating the possibility that he could leave Raw holding championships from two different organizations.

Gable has demonstrated a willingness to challenge elite luchadores, but Fenix presents a different problem because of his ability to combine aerial offense with unexpected counters. The champion’s technical wrestling provides a natural contrast, making the match one of the most interesting announced contests on Monday’s show.

The Bloodline’s six-man tag carries considerably more personal consequences.

Solo Sikoa returned last Monday after being abducted by 946, and Roman Reigns arranged for him to join Jimmy and Jey Uso against Royce Keys, Bronco Nima, and Lucien Price.

The rivalry escalated again at Money in the Bank when 946 appeared following Reigns’ successful World Heavyweight Championship defense against LA Knight. The confrontation triggered another brawl involving Solo and The Usos before Jaida Parker arrived to remove her associates from the situation.

Monday provides the first opportunity for both sides to settle part of that conflict inside the ring.

Reigns is not scheduled to participate in the six-man match, allowing WWE to continue the family rivalry without requiring the World Heavyweight Champion to compete again only two days after his championship defense.

Liv Morgan’s appearance also carries immediate significance after she regained the Women’s World Championship in Saturday’s Triple Threat Match against Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch.

Morgan pinned Vaquer to reclaim the title, but the circumstances leave several unresolved issues. Becky was not pinned, Vaquer lost the championship in a match she personally demanded, and Tiffany Stratton now holds the Women’s Money in the Bank contract.

Morgan therefore begins another championship reign with multiple potential challengers already positioned around her.

Pearce also indicated that WWE hopes to provide a medical update on Je’Von Evans following his dangerous fall through the roof of an ambulance during Saturday’s Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.

Evans’ condition has not been officially clarified, and the planned update should not be interpreted as confirmation of a legitimate injury. WWE’s presentation of the incident created considerable concern, but any medical information needs to come from the company or Evans himself.

The match between Rey Mysterio and Big Cass continues another program that has developed over recent weeks. Cass has repeatedly targeted Dragon Lee and Rey, including interfering in their tag team match against Judgment Day last Monday.

Rey now gets an opportunity to confront Cass directly, although the size difference presents a significant challenge for the veteran.

Monday also begins WWE’s next major stretch toward Crown Jewel and Survivor Series. Penta and Tiffany Stratton hold the Money in the Bank contracts, Roman Reigns remains World Heavyweight Champion, and Oba Femi has publicly challenged Reigns following his victory over Bronson Reed.

Not all of those stories have confirmed segments scheduled for Raw, but the results of Money in the Bank provide several obvious directions for the company to pursue.

NJPW King of Pro-Wrestling Preview — October 12, 2026

New Japan Pro-Wrestling presents King of Pro-Wrestling today from Ryogoku Sumo Hall in Tokyo, with five championship matches and several important developments possible as the company moves toward Wrestle Kingdom.

The event features G1 Climax winner Ryohei Oiwa challenging Yota Tsuji for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, while AEW World Champion Will Ospreay returns to New Japan to defend the NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Championship alongside his United Empire partners.

  • IWGP Heavyweight Championship – Yota Tsuji (c) vs. Ryohei Oiwa
  • IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship – YOH (c) vs. Robbie Eagles
  • IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship – Gabe Kidd (c) vs. Shota Umino
  • NEVER Openweight Championship – Aaron Wolf (c) vs. Kosei Fujita
  • NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Championship – Will Ospreay, Great-O-Khan & HENARE (c) vs. OSKAR, Yuto-Ice & Jeff Cobb
  • Konosuke Takeshita & Toru Yano vs. Ren Narita & Shun Skywalker
  • Hechicero & Boltin Oleg vs. Zack Sabre Jr. & Hartley Jackson
  • Yuya Uemura, Taichi & El Desperado vs. SANADA, Yujiro Takahashi & Yoshinobu Kanemaru
  • Hirooki Goto & Tatsuya Matsumoto vs. Shingo Takagi & Daiki Nagai

The main event presents one of New Japan’s most important championship matches of the fall.

Oiwa earned his opportunity by winning G1 Climax 36, defeating Yuya Uemura in the tournament final. His victory established him as one of the company’s most important rising stars, but Monday requires him to overcome a champion who has already demonstrated his ability to survive major challenges.

Tsuji successfully defended against Hirooki Goto at Destruction in Kobe, preserving the championship and officially establishing his meeting with Oiwa.

The match also carries potential implications beyond New Japan. MJF recently appeared in a prerecorded video during a Road to King of Pro-Wrestling event, challenging Oiwa to a match and offering to put his self-proclaimed Real AEW World Championship at stake.

No match between MJF and Oiwa has been announced, and Friedman has not been confirmed for Monday’s event. The challenge nevertheless adds another potential direction for Oiwa regardless of the result against Tsuji.

The NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Championship match also carries significant intrigue because of the increasingly complicated situation surrounding United Empire.

Ospreay made a surprise appearance at Saturday’s untelevised New Japan event in Uonuma, attacking Jeff Cobb and the Knockout Brothers ahead of Monday’s championship defense.

Ospreay remains AEW World Champion after defeating Kazuchika Okada at Grand Slam France, but he continues representing United Empire alongside Great-O-Khan and HENARE.

Their opponents enter with considerable momentum. OSKAR and Yuto-Ice recently defeated Great-O-Khan and HENARE to regain the IWGP Tag Team Championship, and Monday gives them an opportunity to add another set of titles.

Cobb’s involvement makes the situation even more personal because of his previous relationship with United Empire. The match therefore represents more than a routine championship defense, particularly with questions surrounding the faction’s leadership and future direction.

Gabe Kidd and Shota Umino also meet in a significant IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship match. Their rivalry has become increasingly physical, and Monday gives Umino an opportunity to regain a championship that has been central to his recent development.

Aaron Wolf defends the NEVER Openweight Championship against Kosei Fujita, providing another opportunity for a younger wrestler to challenge an established champion. Fujita’s technical ability and aggressive approach make him an interesting opponent for Wolf, whose background in judo remains a major part of his presentation.

YOH also faces Robbie Eagles for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship after successfully defending against Robbie X earlier in the week. The quick turnaround gives the champion little time to prepare for another challenger with substantial experience in the division.

King of Pro-Wrestling streams live on NJPW World, beginning at 3 AM ET on Monday morning.

With five championships at stake and several major names involved, the event has the potential to establish important directions for New Japan’s final months of 2026.


Bound For Glory delivered a significant reset for TNA, with Leon Slater becoming the youngest World Champion in company history and four additional championships changing hands.

Amazing Red’s return to X-Division gold provided one of the evening’s most memorable moments, while Indi Hartwell finally reached the top of the Knockouts division. Shayna Baszler and Zoey Serrano immediately established themselves as champions, and Jason Hotch emerged from Order 4’s internal conflict with the International Championship.

Erick Redbeard’s arrival also made syX considerably more dangerous, while Frankie Kazarian’s decision to pursue tag team gold alongside Avery Styles created another important direction for the company’s younger talent.

Monday now brings two very different wrestling shows with significant consequences. WWE begins addressing the fallout from Money in the Bank, while New Japan presents five championship matches at King of Pro-Wrestling.

TNA’s next chapter begins Thursday, when The Hardys take control of Impact following their defeat at Bound For Glory. With five new champions and several unresolved rivalries, the company has plenty to address after one of its most eventful nights of the year.
