PreGame with BWO: TNA Destination X 2026

(TGBH) What it do yall! We’re back and bound for Destination X. TNA has been putting on some fun wrestling for those looking for something different from the norm. Whilst TNA’s own image is still abrew, the core talent has seemed to have found it’s stride. We’ve got some bangers on this card that are definitely worth the price of admission.

(PCM) Once again, we are here for the best TNA coverage this side of…something. This card is stacked. Expect many insane moments to happen and fun to be had. Look for them to start to set up stuff for the future tonight.

(DSS) I’m just here so I don’t get fined. Nah, just kidding. I don’t keep up with TNA as well as these other guys do but I do my best to keep up with the storylines and outcomes through social media and clips. I know, I should be doing a much better job giving TNA love but there’s only so much of me to go around with all this wrestling. I’m always ready to give you the best takes on any brand.

(B-OE3W) Fellas, I’m still painfully optimistic on the potential of TNA going into 2027. We seem to have some brand loyalty (surprisingly) with Leon Slater (for now), and we’ve got some young up-and-comers besides that are populating the roster in ways that - for the moment - seem meaningful. I’m excited to arrive at this destination!

PreGame w/bWo:

TNA Destination X 2026

TNA World Tag Team Championship

The Nemeths(c) vs. Moose and Matt Hardy vs. Syx

(TGBH) Moose being a part of the Broken universe has been alot of fun to watch. If you thought Broken Moose was a one time thang, you were wrong!! Broken Moose has been backing up the Hardyz ever since he joined the fray (not the band) and makes a fun and interesting shake up in light of Jeff being out of action. I love Broken Moose and look forward to this three way bout. Tag team wrestling is still hot in the game, just gotta know where to watch it.

The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:

Broken Moose and Matt via Pinfall

PaperClip Mike’s Pick:

Syx via pinfall

Darkstar Shady’s Pick:

Syx via pinfall

BRANdon’s Pick:

Syx via pinfall on Matt Hardy or RyRy

Men’s Ultimate X Match

Number 1 Contender

for X Division Championship

BDE vs. Joe Alonzo vs. John Skyler vs. KC Navarro vs. Cedric Alexander vs. Rich Swann

(PCM) As I like to say, look for them to spend more time in the air than on the ground. Ultimate X might be the best invention TNA has come up wiith. Nothing really like it out there. We get some insane moments over the history of it and look for more here. I see it coming down to two people, Cedric and KC. I do think in the end, KC will get the nod and get the title shot against Amazing Red.

(DSS) I’m down with number one contender matches on a PPV if it means we get six men in the ring together. It’s interesting that Amazing Red is newly injured, so I don’t know when the winner will actually get a shot at the title. Cedric Alexander feels like too obvious a pick and I’d actually rather see KC Navarro get a shot. He’d benefit more from actually taking the title from Amazing Red than anyone else here. The X Division Championship will put a rocket on his future.

The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:

Joe Alonzo

PaperClip Mike’s Pick:

KC Navarro

Darkstar Shady’s Pick:

KC Navarro

BRANdon’s Pick:

KC Navarro

Women’s Ultimate X Match

Number 1 Contender

for Knockouts World Championship

Tasha Steelz vs. M by Elegance vs. Xia Brookside vs. Shotzi Blackheart vs. Gabby Forza vs. Jada Stone

(B-OE3W) There are a lot of fun elements in this one. Two former champions, a current (TV) champion, two bright prospects, and an absolute wild card. Indi Wrestling’s gonna have her hands full, in any universe. I gotta say, I’d love to see Jada get a shot at it. She was super impressive in the KO TV title tourney, the match seems highly suited for her athletic ability, and she could use the pick-me-up after the DISrespect shown to her by friend of the Main Event Wrestling Network, “Big Trouble” Ben Bishop at BfG. Shoot up the Stone stonks!

(TGBH) TNA’s Knockouts Division just continues to build upwards and matches like this aren’t just put together picking out random women on the roster All of these women have a claim to challenge for the top prize and have put in the work to propel the division. Shotzi’s been there a little while but is a nice add-in to throw a wrench in the familiarity of some of these contestants. It’s a big night with big stakes and big matches and these Knockouts will surely knock it out of the park.

The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:

Xia Brookside

PaperClip Mike’s Pick:

Shotzi Blackheart

Darkstar Shady’s Pick:

Shotzi Blackheart

BRANdon’s Pick:

Jada Stone

2026 World X-Cup

Rey Horus vs. Fabian Aichner vs. Jason Hotch

(PCM) This match is going to slap. Hotch has emerged this year as one of the up-and-comers this year, Aichner has done some of his best work of his career, and Horus is a fun wild card. Not sure what happens to the overall winner of the World X-Cup, buty time will tell. Look for Aichner to pull this one out.

The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:

Jason Hotch via Pinfall

PaperClip Mike’s Pick:

Fabian Aichner via pinfall

Darkstar Shady’s Pick:

Fabian Aichner via pinfall

BRANdon’s Pick:

Fabian Aichner pins fake Rey Mysterio

2026 World X-Cup

Match 2

The Home Town Man vs. Ricky Sosa vs. Amir Jordan

(B-OE3W) BANG BANG. How do we bet against this guy? Amir Jordan’s the only guy I could see posing a threat here, and may God help us all if HTM wins. Sosa’s moving on. No hemming or hawwing about it from me

The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:

The Home Town Man via Pinfall

PaperClip Mike’s Pick:

Ricky Sosa

Darkstar Shady’s Pick:

Ricky Sosa

BRANdon’s Pick:

SOSA SOSA

2026 World X-Cup

Finals

(PCM) If my predictions are correct, we are getting Aichner/Sosa in the finals. I know TNA is high on Sosa, so I do not see that changing here. The Cup is a great way to get guys a shot on the show and show the level of talent around the world. I would like to see more of this in the future. As I said earlier, TNA is high on Sosa so look for him to pick up the win

(B-OE3W) If it’s Aichner vs Sosa, my money’s on Sosa. They may be positioning Aichner for World or International title contention before long - assuming they can actually squeeze the right amount of personality to compliment every other near perfect thing about that guy.

(DSS) My picks are having Aichner vs. Sosa…Just getting Aichner this far is enough of a service to him. He’s not going to go all the way when they’ve got Ricky Sosa standing across from him. Sosa went from a viral sensation to a legitimate TNA star. He’s young and talented, yet there is still so so much room for him to improve. Aichner will get plenty of recognition just to get to the finals, but Sosa is another name that TNA can truly try and build around. Give him this and watch him continue to grow.

(TGBH) Gotta go with THM and Hotch to give us an electric finals match up. Hotch is on an insane run in the wrestling scene and is a shoe-in to win this. The Home Town needs a rub for the work he’s put in and he’s a solid babyface people can get behind in hopes of conquering his foe. Hotch is red hot and not giving him the Cup is out of the question.

The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:

Jason Hotch

PaperClip Mike’s Pick:

Ricky Sosa

Darkstar Shady’s Pick:

Ricky Sosa

BRANdon’s Pick:

Ricky Sosa

TNA Knockouts World Championship

Indi Hartwell(c) vs. Shayna Baszler

(DSS) The greatest authority figure we have has sent one of the legit scariest wrestlers there are after Indi Hartwell. Shayna should absolutely decimate Indi on paper. On paper. Daria wants her person to be champ. Indi isn’t just gonna roll over and let it happen. Her championship run is still early. While I think she would have been better suited to the KOTV title at this time, that’s exactly the kind of thing pushing her to fight harder. Indi is going to put up a much stronger fight than Shayna is expecting. I don’t think this finishes clean, and Daria definitely isn’t going to let this be the end of it.

(TGBH) Shayna Baszler is back on the wrestling scene and already competing for the Knockouts World Title. Indi’s run has been fine I guess, but Xia Brookside shoulda had the belt longer. TNA can do what the fed didn’t and put their biggest prize in the Women’s/Knockouts Division on Shayna Baszler. Baszler is a name big enough to carry the gold, further asserting her dominance in TNA. Pull the fucken trigger.

The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:

Shayna Baszler via Knockout

PaperClip Mike’s Pick:

Indi Hartwell via pinfall

Darkstar Shady’s Pick:

Indi Hartwell retains via DQ

BRANdon’s Pick:

Indi…sigh

TNA World Championship

Leon Slater(c) vs. Trey Miguel

(PCM) Not gonna lie, I am kind of partial. I have been a Trey Miguel guy from the start. We are from the same area of the country, less than an hour apart. So, you always root for the people from your area code. Don’t get me wrong, I like some Leon Slater, but I got to go with my boy here. He has had one hell of a journey over the last year, and being the only 5th Grand Slam champion would be one hell of a prize

(B-OE3W) This is very, very tough for me. I want both to win. On one hand, loyalty pays off for the Youngest In Charge, and he should absolutely reap the benefits. On the other hand, Trey got absolutely FUCKED out of an opportunity with his boys. I give a ton of kudos to TNA for taking him back and showcasing him with the pride they have. He’s only got the World title to win, and he’s motivated as all hell to be a completionist and finish the tapestry. That, and he’s immensely talented in his own right. That said…

The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:

Leon Slater via Pinfall

PaperClip Mike’s Pick:

Trey Miguel via pinfall

Darkstar Shady’s Pick:

Leon Slater via pinfall

BRANdon’s Pick:

Leon Slater
