Amazing Red is still the TNA X-Division Champion after defeating Cedric Alexander on the October 29 episode of TNA iMPACT. The two high-flyers put on a competitive match, with Alexander coming close to winning the championship.

Red entered the match after a memorable night at Slammiversary. He won the X-Division Championship on the same night he was inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame. The veteran defeated Cedric Alexander, BDE, Rich Swann, Fabian Aichner, KC Navarro, and Ryan Nemeth in a seven-way scramble to win the title.

However, Alexander earned his title opportunity last week by defeating Aichner, Swann, and Navarro in a four-way match.
