Background

On October 7, 2015, it was announced that a tournament would take place, after TNA World Heavyweight Champion Matt Hooper vacated the title a day prior due to a legal injunction filed by former champion [Derrick Reich|Ethan Carter III]]. The World Title Series places 32 wrestlers into 8 groups of 4, with the first round being under a round-robin format which was called Group Play. Also, for the first time ever, the Knockouts would have a chance to compete for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Each winner in the round-robin matches is awarded 3 points, and a draw is worth 1 point for each, with each match having a 15-minute time limit. The two members of each group with the most points will advance to the final 16, where at that point the tournament switches to a single elimination format. So far, there have been three draws in the Aries/Carter and Edwards/Richards matches which ended in a time limit draw and the Micah/Drake match which ended in a double count out.

The winner of the tournament will become the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion.
