TNA has officially locked in a major match for Final Resolution, and its going to be for the X-Division Championship.
At the November 15 TNA tapings in Orlando, AJ Francis made his way to the ring and didnt waste time stirring the pot. He interrupted a segment with Rich Swann and announced that hes getting an X-Division Title shot at Final Resolution. Francis wasnt done therehe used the moment to throw shade at Swann before bringing out the champion, Leon Slater.
Slater stood his ground and reminded Francis that Swann is a former World Champion. Francis fired back with a bold claim: If I was in TNA when you were champion, I wouldve had that title.
Things turned physical fast. Slater avoided being choke slammed through a table, but Francis grabbed him again and told Swann to hit Slater with the belt. Swann refused. Francis didnt care. He choke slammed Slater anyway and walked off.
Now its officialAJ Francis will challenge Leon Slater for the X-Division Championship at Final Resolution on December 5 at the El Paso County Coliseum in El Paso, Texas. With Francis sending this message early, its clear hes ready to do whatever it takes to leave with the gold.
