With all due respect to Rich Swann, the title wasn't really defended a lot back when he was the X-Division Champion. And I'm baffled as to why this is the case because Swann should have been tearing it up with other Superstars in the roster.
Swann could have potentially had feuds with Pentagon and Fenix for the X-Division Championship or even the current Champion, a certain Mr. Jake Crist. Crist put on a show to remember against Aiden Prince, to kick off the show this week.

No, it wasn't the best X-Division match I've seen, but it was a great reminder of how good the X-Division can be. Crist is one of the most underrated performers in the roster right now, and he can tear it up with anyone.
As talented as Prince is, I think he needs a gimmick before he can rise up the ranks.
