What happened
KC Navarro secured a spot in the X-Division Championship match at TNA Bound For Glory by defeating Joe Alonzo in a qualifying match on the September 3, 2026 episode of TNA Impact, according to Ringside News.
The win made Navarro the first wrestler to qualify for what has been set up as a six-way Scramble match for the vacant X-Division Championship, per Fightful.
What we know
The X-Division title became vacant after Leon Slater cashed in his Option C to challenge Nic Nemeth for the TNA World Championship at Bound For Glory on October 11, according to Fightful and F4W Online.
F4W Online reported that Slater had won back the X-Division Championship last month before giving it up in order to pursue the world title opportunity.
With the belt vacant, TNA opted to fill it via a six-way Scramble match, and Navarro’s victory over Alonzo made him the first competitor to lock in a spot in that match, per Fightful and Ringside News.
Wrestling Inc and 411Mania also confirmed that Navarro qualified for the X-Division title match at Bound For Glory 2026 through his win on Impact.
What is not confirmed
The identities of the remaining participants in the six-way Scramble match have not been detailed in the available reporting.
Further specifics on how or when additional qualifying matches will take place were not included in the sourced reports.
Why it matters
The vacancy created by Slater’s world title pursuit opens a new opportunity in the X-Division picture, with Navarro now the first name confirmed for a marquee multi-man title match at TNA’s flagship fall pay-per-view.
