Leon Slater won the X-Division Championship for the second time at TNA Lockdown on August 23, 2026. Slater faced Cedric Alexander in a Last Man Standing steel cage match where he initially took heavy hits but reversed the momentum with a Standing Blue Thunderbomb. After a series of three back-to-back Lumbar Checks and a Swanton 450, Slater secured victory as Alexander could not answer the count by nine.
