#4. Josh Alexander vs. Ace Austin vs. Rohit Raju vs. Petey Williams vs. Trey Miguel vs. Chris Bey in the Ultimate X Match for the IMPACT X-Division Championship (IMPACT Wrestling Slammiversary)

The X-Division was always regarded as the trademark of IMPACT Wrestling. Josh Alexander won the X-Division gold by defeating Ace Austin and TJP in a three-way at Rebellion. After a huge win over TJP in an Iron Man Match, there were a litany of challengers waiting in the wings for the Walking Weapon.

At Slammiversary, Alexander defended the title in an Ultimate X Match against Austin, Petey Williams, Rohit Raju, Trey Miguel, and Chris Bey. This was exactly the high-risk, unbelievable spectacle that fans have come to expect. There was a Doomsday Canadian Destroyer and bodies flying everywhere. In the end, Josh Alexander retained the X-Division Championship to continue his run.


#3. Kenny Omega vs. Rich Swann for the AEW and IMPACT World Championships (IMPACT Wrestling Rebellion 2021)

Kenny Omega staked his claim for an opportunity at the IMPACT World Title after pinning Rich Swann in a six-man tag team match. Swann defeated Moose in a title unification contest to hold both the IMPACT and TNA World Heavyweight Championships. It set the stage for all the titles being put on the line at Rebellion 2021.

This proved to be a tremendous main event. Swann brought it here with some terrific selling and crisp offense throughout, while Omega set the pace with his signature storytelling and high-octane arsenal. The Cleaner defeated Rich Swann to win the IMPACT World Title. It was one of the biggest matches in the company's history and scored big by earning the biggest pay-per-view buyrate in years.
