The X-Division Championship match has been set for October 20th's big TNA Bound for Glory pay-per-view. Currently reigning champion Manik will put the strap on the line against not one, but three former World Champions – rival Chris Sabin, Austin Aries and the "Charismatic Enigma" Jeff Hardy.
It was Aries who put the challenge out there, with Manik accepting. Hardy, who has never been X-Division Champion, told them that he wanted to do something he'd never done before at Bound for Glory, and made the match an Ultimate X Match.
