Alexander defeated Slater for the X Division Championship a few weeks ago, thwarting Slater’s chance at becoming the longest reigning X Division champion of all time. Aichner made his presence known after the match and threw his hat in the ring weeks later. Kazarian has been in and out of TNA since 2003 and has been the X Division champion six times.

KC Navarro and Mr. Elegance have yet to win any titles in TNA, but are poised to get their hands on gold.

Meanwhile, Amazing Red is a TNA original and he was announced for Slammiversary earlier in the week. He could have been challenging Mustafa Ali for the TNA International Championship, but is now in one of TNA’s most innovative matches.

It’s sure to be one of the most exciting matches on the card for Slammiversary.

Mustafa Ali puts his title on the line.

Mustafa Ali has been the TNA international champion since Rebellion in April. He’s has been one of the more dominant champions on the roster, only rivaling TNA world champion Mike Santana, and with the Order 4 behind him, the sky seems to be the limit.

TNA announced that Ali will have to put his title on the line at Slammiversary as one of the six championships being defended on the card. It will be in an open challenge format.

So, for now, Ali’s opponent remains a mystery. But there’s not a shortage of potential challengers who could step up and grab the championship from Ali’s grasp.
