Director of Authority Santino Marella has weighed in and this thrilling three-way has been made official for Genesis: Leon Slater will defend the TNA X-Division Championship against both Cedric Alexander and Moose.

But first, Myron Reed has the potential to shake up the Genesis card when he challenges Leon Slater for the TNA X-Division Championship just two days prior on the premiere of Thursday Night iMPACT! on AMC. Reed earned the opportunity by defeating fellow Rascalz Trey Miguel and Zachary Wentz.
