As we noted last night, Matt Sydal became the X-Division and Grand Champion at this week’s TV tapings in Orlando, and last night Sydal “gifted” the Gran Championship to Josh Mathews.
During tonight’s TV tapings, Austin Aries challenged Sydal for the Impact Grand Championship and defeated him to become both the Grand and Impact World Champion. There has been speculation that Impact might be unifying the World and Grand Championships to do away with the Grand Title, but that remains unconfirmed.
