How the matches came about

Ali vs. Kazarian. On the Nov. 5 show, Kazarian and Avery Styles beat Hunter James and Alexander Lev in their tag debut. Ali was on commentary and, per PWInsider's coverage, implied Kazarian would turn on Styles. Kazarian knocked Ali off the apron. Our Nov. 5 results story has the rest of that show.

Elijah vs. Nemeth. Per WrestleView's onsite report, Elijah ran out after the Nemeths retained the TNA World Tag Team Titles over Leon Slater and Amazing Red, and chased the champions off. In the ladder match for a Destination X title shot, which Trey Miguel won, Elijah was about to win when Nic Nemeth pulled him down, per the same report.

Moose vs. Shaw. Shaw and Sawyer of syX attacked Moose on Nov. 5 and Matt Hardy made the save. Moose and Hardy face syX at Destination X, as we reported in our Destination X story.

What to watch

More matches are likely to be added before Destination X on Nov. 15. WrestleView notes the Elayna Black vs. Heather bout was shown on screen with a "Destination X this Sunday" graphic, which is how it was tied to Nov. 12. TNA has not said whether Black vs. Heather is a Destination X preview.
