Impact unveils Super X-Cup tournament field for Genesis

Impact Wrestling unveiled the full eight man field for the return of the Super X-Cup at January’s Genesis.

On one side of the bracket, Ace Austin will face Suicide while Daivari will go one-on-one with Cousin Jake. On the other side, Crazzy Steve will welcome the debuting Tre Lamar while KC Navarro will face Blake Christian in the other match.

Christian has never wrestled on an Impact show, but did compete for the X-Division title in December 2019 on a Warrior Wrestling show against then champion-Austin. This will be Navarro’s first match in Impact since 2019’s Turning Point when he was involved in a six-way for the PPW Title.

Other than an Xplosion win over Cody Deaner in November, Austin hasn’t been on TV since he and Sawyer Fulton were unsuccessful in winning the Tag Team Titles at October’s Bound For Glory.

Impact announced the Cup tournament would return after a near four year break at Genesis, their January Impact Plus show on Saturday, January 9th. An I Quit match between Moose and Willie Mack has also been announced.
