Austin Aries and the X Division Championship
While many fans have been critical of the way TNA has booked its programming over the last several months, the swerve featuring Austin Aries becoming Suicide and winning the X Division title just weeks before he will likely cash it in for a world title shot is flat-out amazing.
This was a well-written storyline that has many fans excited for what could be next, but this angle was a success because of the man under the mask. If it wasn’t for Aries’ ability to sell the fans on his title win and his reveal as Suicide, the Destination X edition of Impact wouldn’t have the aura surrounding it that it currently does.
