TNA
Following Leon Slater relinquishing the title for “Option C” and a shot at the TNA World Championship, there will be a six-way match to determine the new X-Division Champion at Bound For Glory 2026.
Now that the field is set, it should be interesting who will walk out as the new champion.
Six of the brightest stars in the X-Division will do battle to claim the coveted title on Sunday, October 11.
Here are our ranking of the most likely winner of the X-Division Title 6-Way match at TNA Bound For Glory 2026.
Ryan Nemeth

On the September 24 edition of TNA IMPACT, Ryan Nemeth defeated KJ Orso.
Thanks to this win, Nemeth has qualified for the X-Division Title 6-Way Match at Bound For Glory 2026.
Nemeth will now have the chance to be a double champion like his brother Nic Nemeth.
While his brother is holding two titles, it doesn’t look like Ryan will be joining him.
Cedric Alexander
At TNA Lockdown 2026, Leon Slater defeated Cedric Alexander to win the X-Division Title.
Since this loss, Alexander has been chomping at the bit to get back the gold.
The System member invoked his rematch clause to qualify for this bout at Bound For Glory 2026.
While she has been champion before, it doesn’t feel like Cedric will get the gold back this soon.
Rich Swann

Another former TNA X-Division Champion who will compete in this high stakes match at Bound For Glory 2026 is Rich Swann.
On the September 17 episode of TNA IMPACT, Swann beat LJ Cleary.
With this victory, Swann has the opportunity to become a two-time X-Division Champion.
Swann has as good of a shot as anyone to get the job done and win the title in Tampa.
Fabian Aichner
Ever since he arrived in TNA Wrestling, Fabian Aichner has had his sights on the X-Division Championship.
The former Giovanni Vinci has been on a roll as of late and takes aim at the title at Bound For Glory 2026.
On the August 27 TNA IMPACT, Aichner beat former X-Division Champion Rohit Raju to qualify.
Now with this opportunity, Aichner has to be considered a potential favorite to win it all.
KC Navarro

On the September 3 edition of TNA IMPACT, KC Navarro pulled off a win over Joe Alonzo.
Thanks to this win, Navarro qualified for the TNA X-Division Championship six-way match at Bound For Glory 2026.
Over the past few months, KC has been so close to becoming a champion in TNA Wrestling.
Now with this opportunity ahead in Tampa, it feels like Navarro’s best chance to capture gold.
BDE
On the October 1 TNA IMPACT, BDE became the final man to qualify for the X-Division Title six-way match at Bound For Glory 2026.
This also marked BDE’s first singles victory since signing with TNA Wrestling.
Now with this newfound momentum, BDE could get another key win on October 11.
BDE upsetting the field might be the best story TNA Wrestling could tell with the next X-Division Champion at Bound For Glory.
