The Three Way Ultimate X match was next to determine the number-one contender to the TNA X Division Championship. Petey Williams, Chris Sabin, and Matt Bentley were the participants in this encounter, which spanned 13 minutes and 13 seconds. Bentley was accompanied by Traci to the ring. In an Ultimate X match, ropes are hung above the ring in a manner to form an "X", in which the objective is to climb the ropes and retrieve an object at the center of the "X". In this case, the object was a giant red "X". Sabin scaled the ropes above the ring midway through the match, before Bentley jumped up and tackled him to the mat below. The result of this impact caused the "X" to fall off the ropes. TNA officials then had to re-hang it while the match continued. Later, Bentley and Sabin attempted to retrieve the "X" again, only to cause it to fall once more. This time Williams was standing below and caught it; the referee declared Williams the winner, thus becoming the number-one contender to the TNA X Division Championship.
