Impact Wrestling
Mike Bennett is the new TNA X Division Champion after he defeated Eddie Edwards for the title on tonight’s episode of Impact Wrestling.
Bennett was granted a title shot after he and Maria hit the ring for a promo about Dixie Carter slapping Maria last week. Billy Corgan got involved and suggested in order to avoid a lawsuit, Dixie take a leave of absence, and he would take control of the show. Bennett said he wanted a title shot, and since next week’s main event was set, he could earn a title shot another way. Bennett then made a case for winning the X Division title first, then Corgan booked him in the match to face then-champion Eddie Edwards on the spot, with a chance at Destination X as well as the X title.
