Moose Retains TNA X-Division Championship At Rebellion

TNA X-Division Championship Ultimate X Match

Moose (c) vs. Matt Cardona vs. KC Navarro vs. Sidney Akeem vs. Leon Slater vs. El Hijo del Vikingo

After the performance of the national anthem and cold open video package, the pay-per-view portion of TNA Rebellion 2025 gets underway with the Ultimate X match for the TNA X-Division Championship. “Alwayz Ready” Matt Cardona’s theme hits and out he comes first. Then KC Navarro comes out with AJ Francis, Sidney Akeem comes out after that, and then Leon Slater.

Mikey and Jackson, “his biggest fans,” accompany El Hijo del Vikingo to the ring when he comes out as the last challenger before the champion made his entrance. Afterwards, the lights go down, the awesome theme for Moose hits and the reigning TNA X-Division Champion, who is legitimately afraid of heights, heads out for his title defense.

As soon as the bell sounds, all of the competitors start trading shots all over the place. Within seconds we see three or four bodies hanging from the Ultimate X wires above the ring. Nothing comes from it, and the whole field gets cleared out, leaving Moose in the ring.

Moose, afraid of heights, unfolds a steel chair and stands on it to try and reach the title. Not even close. More bodies start filling up the ring. We see El Hijo del Vikingo hit a big dive from the ropes to the floor. Moments later, Sidney Akeem hits a picture-perfect moonsault off the ropes to a pile of bodies at ringside.

Up next, Moose hits a powerbomb on Akeem from the ring to a pile of bodies on the floor. Moose then calls out to Alisha Edwards to climb for him. She takes her coat off and begins doing exactly that. Alisha stops and hesitates, but Moose begs her to continue. She does.

Alisha gets all the way up and is hanging from her legs and hands, crawling the wire to the center. She loses her footing and her legs fall. She kicks her legs and falls, but Moose catches her. While holding her, Slater hits the ring and super kicks Moose. Moose falls and Alisha rolls to the floor.

Slater and del Vikingo are on the ropes together. Slater propels off a push from del Vikingo all the way to the wire. He hangs from it and hits a spot off of it to del Vikingo. Navarro hits the ring and takes them both out for a ton of heat. He then looks up and begins his climb. Akeem stops him.

Navarro ends up hanging off the wire, where he lets go and connects with a wild tornado DDT to Slater. Cardona enters the mix but eats some kicks from Navarro. Navarro hits Cardona with his own re-boot spot in the corner.

As the action continues, AJ Francis, who was introduced as a special guest commentator at the start, only for his microphone to never work and him never actually doing it, he appears in the ring and hits his finisher and cleans house. Francis gets Navarro on his shoulders and walks him to right under the title.

Navarro hangs on and Moose spears Francis. Moose reaches up and power bombs Navarro down, but then turns and walks into Radio Silence from Cardona. Cardona turns into a leg-lariat from Slater. Slater climbs the 15-foot podium holding the wires in the corner.

He hits a leaping 450-senton onto a pile of bodies at ringside. They don’t catch him that well, and with full momentum his body smacks the mat on the floor. Ouch. Scary. He gets up and plays to the crowd and appears okay. How? Who knows. He gets up the wires again and climbs to the middle.

He unhooks the title, but they say it’s not over until he drops down. He goes to drop down, and does, but upon landing gets speared by Moose. Moose steps over him, picks up the title, and is declared the winner. Not as smooth as planned.

Match Result: Moose retains the TNA X-Division Championship
