Three-time and current champion Low Ki.
The TNA X Division Championship is a professional wrestling championship owned by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion. It is primarily contested in TNA's X Division. The title was created and debuted on June 19, 2002 at the taping of TNA's second weekly pay-per-view (PPV) event.
Title reigns are determined either by professional wrestling matches between wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines, or by scripted circumstances. Wrestlers are portrayed as either villains or heroes as they follow a series of tension-building events, which culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches for the championship. Title changes that happen on episodes of TNA's primary television program, TNA Impact!, air on television two to nine days from the date the match was taped. Changes that happened on weekly PPV events aired either during a live broadcast or aired on taped delay up to seven days apart. The inaugural champion was K.J. Styles, who defeated Low Ki, Jerry Lynn, and Psicosis in a Four Way Double Elimination match on June 19, 2002 at the taping of TNA's second weekly PPV event, which aired on June 26, 2002.Chris Sabin currently holds the record for the most reigns, with eight. At 301 days, Austin Brown' first reign is the longest in the title's history. At less than one day, Eric Young's only reign is the shortest in the title's history.
As of November 13, 2014, Low Ki is the champion in his third reign. Overall, there have been 67 reigns shared between 30 wrestlers.
