2021 Super X-Cup Winner Crowned At IMPACT Wrestling Genesis
Ace Austin is the winner of the 2021 IMPACT Wrestling Super X-Cup Tournament.
The road to the finals saw Austin defeat both Suicide and Cousin Jake. His last challenger was Blake Christian, who eliminated both KC Navarro and Crazzy Steve. Before their match, Austin sent Madman Fulton to the back, wanting to win the match on his own merits. The two men put on a fast-paced, back-and-forth encounter, but Christian met his end when Austin landed his signature move, The Fold.
