The '''X Division''' is a [[professional wrestling]] division utilized by the [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] (TNA) [[professional wrestling promotion|promotion]]<ref name="americanc-dvd">{{cite web|url=http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/3132|title=TNA's Best of the X Division Volume 1: DVD Review|last=Schomburg|first=Eric|publisher=American Chronicle|access-date=2009-07-02}}</ref> and used historically in several [[National Wrestling Alliance]] (NWA) [[List of National Wrestling Alliance territories|member promotions]]. The division is intended to emphasize a fast-paced and acrobatic style of wrestling, with most of the division's stars being [[cruiserweight (professional wrestling)|cruiserweights]]. However, for most of its history, it has not featured strict weight limits. Wrestlers in TNA's division compete for the [[TNA X Division Championship]] (originally the NWA X Championship).

Throughout the 2000s, the X Division was one of TNA's main attractions, featuring wrestlers such as [[AJ Styles]] and [[Samoa Joe]]. Later, the X Division would be deemphasized in favor of the promotion's main heavyweight division.

==Overview==
The high-flying, high risk style of wrestling had become one of the features of [[World Championship Wrestling]] and [[Extreme Championship Wrestling]] in the late 1990s. Rather than emphasizing the fact that most wrestlers who perform this style are under 220&nbsp;lb (100&nbsp;kg) by calling it a [[Cruiserweight (professional wrestling)|cruiserweight]] division, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) decided to emphasize the high-risk nature of the [[stunt]] like moves that the wrestlers performed only in TNA where no restraints were placed on them. As such, according to TNA co-founder [[Bob Ryder]] in ''The History of TNA: Year 1'', they named the division after the [[X Games]].

Until 2011, there was no upper weight limit on the X Division or its title, though in practice, most of the wrestlers in this division were cruiserweights, with [[Sonny Siaki]], [[Samoa Joe]], [[Kurt Angle]], and [[Abyss (wrestler)|Abyss]] being notable exceptions. To further emphasize this point, the slogan ''"It's not about weight limits, it's about no limits"'' was used to describe the division. On the August 11, 2011, edition of ''[[Impact Wrestling (TV series)|Impact Wrestling]]'', TNA authority figure [[Eric Bischoff]] announced that  X Division would have a weight limit of {{convert|225|lb|kg|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1313122097 |title=Impact Wrestling Results - 8/11/11 |last=Boutwell |first=Josh |date=2011-08-12 |access-date=2011-08-12 |work=WrestleView |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110825105605/http://www.wrestleview.com/viewnews.php?id=1313122097 |archive-date=August 25, 2011 }}</ref>  However, when [[Hulk Hogan]] became the new on screen GM in March 2012, the weight limit was quietly repealed, as heavier wrestlers like former champion [[Samoa Joe]] and eventual champion [[Rob Van Dam]] were able to compete for the title.

On the March 21, 2013, episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', new rules were implemented for the X Division:
# A 230 lb. weight limit
# All matches will be [[triple threat match]]es
# In championship matches, whoever gets pinned or is made to submit would be ineligible for the next championship match, while the one who does not will be a challenger for the next X Division match.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.impactwrestling.com/news/item/4164-The-X-Division-is-Evolving-New-Rules-Announced |title=The X-Division is Evolving!

On the April 18, 2013, episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', a new feature called the X Cam was introduced, giving viewers a first-person look at every X Division match.

On the August 22, 2013, episode of ''Impact Wrestling'', it was announced that the triple threat match rule had been revoked and that X Division matches may also be contested under one on one matches again.

On October 20, 2013, at [[Bound for Glory (2013)|Bound for Glory]], 280 lb. Samoa Joe took part in a five-man [[Ultimate X]] match for the X Division Championship.  This indicated that the 230 lb. weight limit was also quietly revoked.

==Reception==
The X Division is generally regarded as one of the key attractions of TNA. A 2005 [[TNA X Division Championship|X Division Championship]] [[Professional wrestling match types#Basic non-elimination matches|three-way match]] between [[Christopher Daniels]], [[Samoa Joe]] and [[A.J. Styles]] at [[TNA Unbreakable (2005)|Unbreakable]] was given the rare [[List of professional wrestling matches rated 5 or more stars by Dave Meltzer|rating of 5 stars]] by the ''[[Wrestling Observer]]''.<ref name="owow-5star">{{cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/columns/misc/danielwade01.html|title=Mr 5-Star: Samoa Joe|last=Wade|first=Daniel|date=February 8, 2006|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|access-date=2009-07-03}}</ref>

==Tournaments==
===X Cup Tournaments===
{{Main|TNA X Cup Tournaments}}
TNA maintains three different styles of tournament referred to as "X Cup" tournaments.  The Super X Cup tournament is a standard single-elimination tournament featuring one-on-one matches.  The Americas X Cup tournament was a team-format points-based tournament featuring two teams of four wrestlers each, with each team representing a respective country that most or all of the wrestlers are from.  Members of the team competed in a variety of matches, including singles matches and tag team matches, which accrued points for their side.  The World X Cup tournament was an expansion on the Americas X Cup, in which four teams of four wrestlers competed.  In the World X Cup, TNA always hosts a home team for the [[United States]], with other countries such as [[Japan]], [[Mexico]], and [[Canada]] being represented by either TNA-contracted wrestlers or wrestlers from a promotion that TNA has a partnership agreement with.

X Division wrestlers are generally the only TNA wrestlers that compete in the [[TNA X Cup Tournaments]]. The first such tournament was the [[TNA 2003 Super X Cup Tournament]], which was won by Chris Sabin.<ref name="pwh-xdivtournaments">{{cite web|url=http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/misc/tna/xtny.html|title=TNA X Division Tournaments|publisher=Pro Wrestling History|access-date=2009-07-02|archive-date=2010-11-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101128113854/http://prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/misc/tna/xtny.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===TNA X Division Championship Tournament (2009)===
The tournament was the result of a match for the [[TNA X Division Championship]] at [[Final Resolution (December 2008)|Final Resolution]] between [[Eric Young (wrestler)|Eric Young]] and [[Shawn Daivari|Sheik Abdul Bashir]] ending in a controversial fashion, with Young winning the championship thanks to the referee's help. Management Director [[Jim Cornette]] stripped Young of the belt and announced the tournament to crown the new champion. The tournament final took place at [[Genesis (2009)|Genesis]].

==Ultimate X Match==
{{Main|Ultimate X match}}
The Ultimate X match is the signature gimmick match of the X Division. It is similar to a [[ladder match]] except that two cables attached to truss towers adjacent to the ring posts cross above the center of the ring and the item of value is hung at the intersection of the cables. The winner is the competitor who can retrieve the item of value from the cables.

It was originally created in August 2003 and pitted [[Matt Bentley|Michael Shane]], [[Frankie Kazarian]], and [[Chris Sabin]]. Since then, twenty-four Ultimate X matches have taken place, some for the X Division championship, some for the [[TNA World Tag Team Championship]], and some with a giant red X suspended above the ring symbolizing something such as number one contender status, and even the X Division title itself.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3odeC_U15DA |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/3odeC_U15DA |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|title=X Division Championship: Manik vs. Greg Marasciulo vs. Sonjay Dutt - July 25, 2013|website=[[YouTube]] }}{{cbignore}}</ref>
