AJ Styles, Kid Kash, Ace Steel, Jose & Joel Maximo, and Tony Mamaluke in a
Ladder Match to win the vacant X-Division Title. Syxx-Pac wasn't even involved
in the majority of the match. As AJ Styles was about to win the bout, he ran
down, suplexed Styles off the ladder, and grabbed the belt. Since the rules

championship.

Orlando, Florida. During a taping of Impact, Samoa Joe was informed that
if he didn't relinquish the NWA championship belt he had stolen, he would be
removed from the roster. In an in-ring segment, Joe refused and ripped up the
papers informing him. The lights went out and Kurt Angle hit the ring and got in
Joe's face. He headbutted Joe and hit the Angle Slam. Angle held up the belt but
Joe hit an enziguiri from behind. Joe cinched a choke on Angle and security
tried to break them up. During all this, Jeff Jarrett came out retrieved his
belt. After Joe was removed from the ring, Angle took the house mic and
stated that he wasn't fired (from WWE), he asked Vince McMahon for his release.
He said he was back to wrestling and McMahon could kiss his "Olympic
Ass."
