Frankie Kazarian defeated "Speedball" Mike Bailey to win the IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Championship at the company's recent Bound for Glory pay-per-view.

According to PWInsider, the AEW star exercised his right to challenge for Josh Alexander's IMPACT World Championship at Overdrive during the latest television tapings. Unfortunately, he had to vacate the X-Division title in exchange for a match with Alexander at the upcoming special. Kazarian has enjoyed plenty of success in IMPACT Wrestling throughout the years, winning a host of honors and titles. However, the World Championship has always evaded the in-ring veteran. 

With the X-Division Championship vacant, an eight-man tournament to crown a new champion will be held. The final is scheduled to take place at Overdrive, which will emanate from Louisville, Kentucky, on Friday, November 18. The participants for the tournament haven't been revealed at the time of this writing.

As for The OKG, their future plans are unknown as they are reportedly done with IMPACT Wrestling for the time being. Finally, Bully Ray also returned at Bound for Glory and he's expected to stick around for the foreseeable future.
