Once again, an X-Division Match stole the show on IMPACT Wrestling. IMPACT's prized division put on a phenomenal opener this week, as Ace Austin, Chris Bey and Black Taurus clashed with an X-Division Championship Match on the line.

The trio won a six-man tag team match last week to earn this opportunity, and these three men didn't let it go to waste. Black Taurus was often forced into a two-on-one situation, since Bey and Austin were both unable to keep up with his sheer power and insane speed on their own.

Decay's newest monster had an incredible showing this week, and though he didn't win the match, he proved that his stable is a force to be reckoned with.

After Taurus was sent to the floor, Bey looked to finish the job with the Art of Finesse. However, Ace Austin's own monster, Madman Fulton, knocked him off the ropes and allowed Austin to secure the win with The Fold.

Any of these competitors could deliver a great match with the champion, TJP. But IMPACT Wrestling's Inevitable One won the bout to earn the title shot. When fans do get that match, it will certainly be another contender for this list.
