By doing so, Alexander relinquished the X-Division Title. This opened the door for a new champion to be crowned in IMPACT. Three qualifying matches were made which left <strong>Steve Maclin, El Phantasmo,<\/strong> and <strong>Trey Miguel<\/strong> standing. ELP and Miguel will need to rely on their speed, agility, and high flying ability to stop the pure strength of Maclin. Maclin has been on a roll since joining IMPACT, knocking down every challenge put in front of him. When the final bell rings, the X-Division will have a new wrestler to carry to torch for the division.

Purrazzo disrespected James, which lead to James kicking Purrazzo in the middle of the ring. Purrazzo retained her title at EmPowerr and attacked James the next night at NWA <em>73<\/em>. After James taunted Purrazzo for weeks, this match was made official. Purrazzo attacked James while she worked on her farm. This set up &#8220;Pick Your Poison&#8221; matches over the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>James set Purazzo to take on <strong>Masha Slammovich<\/strong> in which Purazzo won. Purrazzo chose <strong>Savannah Evans<\/strong> to face James on IMPACT. James was able to overcome Evans. but was left laying after an assist from <strong>Matthew Rehwoldt.<\/strong>\u00a0 With those matches behind them, the two can finally focus on each other.

Christian Cage retained the IMPACT World Title on the same night. Before Cage could celebrate for long, Alexander made his way to the ring. He looked at both titles before declaring his intention to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/10\/03\/option-c-in-impact-wrestling-winners\/\" target=\"_self\">invoke Option-C<\/a>. He formerly relinquished the X-Division Title the following week on IMPACT.
