Frankie Kazarian will no longer be the X-Division Champion come Friday morning.
Per an announcement made by IMPACT Wrestling Twitter account earlier today, Frankie Kazarian is set to give up the X-Division Championship on the October 20 episode of IMPACT on AXS TV. Although the announcement gives no implication that Kazarian is cashing in Option C, many X-Division Champions have relinquished the belt in the past in order to pursue Option C.
Option C gives the current X-Division Champion a chance to cash in their belt in order to recieve a match for the IMPACT World Championship. Currently, that title is held by Josh Alexander.
Kazarian originally captured the belt back on October 7 when he ended the reign of 'Speedball' Mike Bailey.
This Thursday at 8/7c on #IMPACTonAXSTV!
