[edit] 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.

^1 Group X-Division went to a 3-way tie and a triple threat match was scheduled to determine who would advance. In this match whoever gained the first pinfall and submission would advance to the Round of 16 and would exit the match, the remaining 2 participants would then go 1-on-1 for the right to advance. DJ Z would get the first pinfall, pinning Manik and Tigre Uno would then also pin Manik to advance, thus eliminating Manik.

[edit] Tournament Bracket

The second half the TNA World Title Series will take the format of a single-elimination tournament. The first round matches have been intentionally set up so that two members of the same original bracket cannot face-off unless both of them manage to advance to the Semifinals Round, which happened for Group Champions' Lashley and Ethan Carter III. The first 14 matches will all take place on episodes of Impact. The final is expected to take place on the first episode of Impact to be aired in 2016, but this is subject to change. The Round of 16 has been divided into 4 groups ('Group A', 'Group B', etc.), although this only affects the order in which matches will be held in each round.
