What happened
Fabian Aichner defeated Rohit Raju on TNA Impact to earn a spot in the upcoming X-Division Championship match at Bound For Glory, according to Fightful.
What we know
The X-Division title became vacant after Leon Slater activated Option C to secure a TNA World Championship match at Bound For Glory, which required him to relinquish the X-Division Championship, per Fightful.
TNA subsequently decided that a new X-Division Champion would be crowned through a six-way scramble match at the pay-per-view, and qualifying matches have been taking place on Impact to fill out that field, according to Fightful.
Aichner’s win over Rohit Raju was one of those qualifiers, securing him a spot in the scramble, as reported by Fightful, Wrestling Inc, and 411Mania.
What is not confirmed
The full lineup of competitors for the six-way scramble has not been detailed in the available reporting, nor have the remaining qualifying matches been specified.
Why it matters
With the X-Division Championship vacant following Leon Slater’s move up to a World Championship opportunity, the scramble match at Bound For Glory will determine a new champion and reshape the X-Division picture heading into the pay-per-view.
