The current IMPACT Wrestling X Division Champion Manik (TJP) won the title from Rohit Raju at the Final Resolution show earlier this month. On a following episode of IMPACT on AXS, former X Division Champion Chris Bey used Rohit Raju to score a DQ victory over Manik. With both Rohit and Bey having their respective claims to a title match, IMPACT announced that at Hard To Kill on January 16th, the title will be defended in a three-way.
Over the Summer, Chris Bey won the X Division Title from Willie Mack at Slammiversary and dropped the title just one month later to Rohit Raju.
