Since it’s inception from the mind of Don Callis in 2003, Ultimate X has delivered countless memorable moments – but we figured we’d take a more analytical look at the signature match of the X-Division ahead of Homecoming THIS SUNDAY!
41 – the total number of Ultimate X matches since the first on August 20. 2003
27 – have taken place at PPV events (including One Night Only specials)
13 – have taken place on episodes of IMPACT
1 – took place one a special IMPACT Wrestling live event in London in 2010
17 – Chris Sabin holds the record for most Ultimate X appearance, more than twice that of Christopher Daniels in 2nd with 8 appearances
8 – Chris Sabin has the most appearances and naturally the most victories in Ultimate X as well
2 – the number of people who have competed in more than one Ultimate X match and never lost. Doug Williams and Eddie Edwards both have competed in Ultimate X twice with two victories
24 – the number of times a championship has been up for grabs in Ultimate X, the X-Division Championship 21 times and the Tag Team Titles 3 times
16 – the number of times a championship has changed hands in Ultimate X – of course the championship is currently vacant so we’re guaranteed a new champion at Homecoming. 66% of the time Ultimate X has resulted in a new champion
599 – the number of days between the last Ultimate X match on May 18th, 2017 and Homecoming. The longest gap between Ultimate matches ever. The high wire spectacle is finally back
0 – the amount of previous Ultimate X experience between Rich Swann, Jake Crist, Ethan Page and Trey Miguel. There will be no experience advantage going into Homecoming. It is the first time every competitor going into Ultimate X is competing for the first time since the very first match in 2003
100 – The % chance a new X-Division Champion will be crowned THIS SUNDAY as Rich Swann, Jake Crist, Trey Miguel and Ethan Page battle it out for one of the most prestigious championships in wrestling
