It appears that TJP has found a way to get his hands on the X-Division Championship after all.
Rohit Raju has finally been defeated for the X-Division Championship. Following a ruling that TJP could no longer challenge Rohit Raju for the coveted championship, TJP revisited a chapter from his past and donned the Manik mask in order to defeat Rohit and re-captured the championship at Final Resolution.

This is the second time that that particular character has won the championship, his first rain came in July of 2013 when he defeated Trent and Sonjay Dutt in an Ultimate X Match for the championship. As for TJP, this is also only his second reign as X-Division Champion.
