Austin Aries challenges Bobby Roode for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of Destination X.

Also on the card, AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels take their feud to new heights with a Last Man Standing match; and Kurt Angle meets Samoa Joe as part of the Bound For Glory series.

Who will walk away with the all-important wins? Join the NZPWI Roundtable as we break down the card for Destination X.


TNA World Heavyweight Championship:
Bobby Roode (c) vs. Austin Aries


Kirsty:
As great as Austin Aries is, I don't think he has the nouse quite now to defeat Bobby Roode.
Winner: Bobby Roode

Steph:
I have a tendency to pick ANYONE over Bobby Roode ... and this time it's the greatest man who ever lived, so I'm practically optimistic!
Winner: Austin Aries

Blake:
The It Factor of Professional Wrestling vs. The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived? What a dilemma I'm in. However, I'm not the greatest mind in professional wrestling for nothing. Sorry Aries, you gave your belt up a bit prematurely.
Winner: Bobby Roode

Stevie:
I want Austin to take this victory so much, especially with what he's given up to achieve it. But Roode has taken down every opponent in a myriad of ways, albeit usually not fairly. I think Aries will come up short this time around, through no fault of his own. I hope I'm wrong though.
Winner: Bobby Roode

David:
If anyone can do it, it's Aries, but Roode has just had such a death grip on that title ever since he won it, it just seems fruitless not to back him.
Winner: Bobby Roode


Last Man Standing:
AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels


Kirsty:
We're looking at a possible Match of the Year here, if previous bouts from these two are anything to go by. I can't see AJ letting Daniels get the best of him... legitimately.
Winner: AJ Styles

Steph:
This could be one of the greatest grudge matches of all time. But AJ must prevail!
Winner: AJ Styles

Blake:
Angle's tied up with Joe, Kazarian's free to do what he wants. Too easy.
Winner: Christopher Daniels

Stevie:
Another classic match between these two is surely on its way. I think Daniels is going to pull out some very sneaky tactics though, if the last few months are anything to go by.
Winner: Christopher Daniels

David:
Blake's cracked it - Kazarian's night is wide open, and he doesn't seem the sort to pass up an opportunity to embarrass AJ Styles.
Winner: Christopher Daniels


Bound For Glory Series:
Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe


Kirsty:
As great as Kurt Angle is, I reckon it means more to Joe.
Winner: Samoa Joe

Steph:
Joe has been pulling out all the stops recently, and I think he'll have the edge over Angle.
Winner: Samoa Joe

Blake:
I think we're starting to see an Angle resurgence. This will be a great match, but Angle has his eyes on gold.
Winner: Kurt Angle

Stevie:
Going with my gut because, even though Kurt is on a roll, Joe is on a steady climb himself. He wants it more. Sure to be a classic either way.
Winner: Samoa Joe

David:
Joe needs a lot of points to catch up to James Storm, which might make him go after a submission victory. I don't see Angle tapping out.
Winner: Kurt Angle


Staff Picks Summary:

Austin Aries: 1
Bobby Roode: 4

AJ Styles: 2
Christopher Daniels: 3

Kurt Angle: 2
Samoa Joe: 3

Blake: 40 of 67 = 60% (TNA: 61%)
David: 49 of 67 = 73% (TNA: 70%)
Kirsty: 45 of 67 = 67% (TNA: 61%)
Steph: 25 of 44 = 57% (TNA: 54%)
Stevie: 39 of 50 = 78% (TNA: 69%)
