Chris Sabin: There's No Reason For Me To Go After Alex Shelley, I'm Happy Being X-Division Champion

Chris Sabin isn't interested in utilizing Option C to get a World Championship match against his tag team partner Alex Shelley.

In the past, Chris Sabin has utilized Option C, that being the right to trade in the TNA X-Division Title for a match against the TNA World Champion, to capture his one and only TNA World Championship, over Bully Ray in 2013.

Ten years later, Sabin is again the X-Division Champion. Now, his tag team partner Alex Shelley is the World Champion and he has no desire to take that title away from his friend.

"I'm 1,000% happy being the X Division champion. For a long time, I thought Alex Shelley deserved to be a World Champion in some sort of major promotion and I'm happy to see him finally accomplish that. He's having a good run and I want him to continue that. He's not just my partner, he's one of my best friends. So I want him to succeed and there's no reason for me to go after him. I'm happy being the X-Division Champion. I want him to enjoy his run on top," Sabin said on the Battleground podcast.
