Destination X (2014)
Open-knowledge reference entry
The 2014 Destination X (a.k.a. Impact Wrestling: Destination X) was a professional wrestling event produced by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion, which took place on June 26, 2014 at the Grand Ballroom in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It was the tenth event under the Destination X chronology. The event was not held on pay-per-view (PPV) and was instead featured as a special edition of TNA's weekly broadcast of Impact Wrestling, airing on July 31 on Spike TV.
Five professional wrestling matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Lashley successfully defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Austin Aries, who earned the title shot by invoking Option C, vacating the X Division Championship. The undercard featured a mini-tournament for the vacant X Division Championship, featuring three-way matches as well as a World Tag Team Championship match, in which The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) retained the titles against The Hardys (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy).
Production
Background
Destination X was held by TNA as an X Division-exclusive event since the 2011 edition. Beginning with the 2012 edition, Destination X also became a staple for the X Division Champions to invoke Option C, which required them to vacate the title to earn a shot for the World Heavyweight Championship at the event.
On June 2, TNA announced that it would be holding its television tapings of Impact Wrestling at the Grand Ballroom of Manhattan Center in New York City later that month which would include the Destination X event as a special episode of Impact Wrestling to take place on June 26. On June 23, TNA confirmed on their website that the company would be returning to the six-sided ring starting at the Impact Wrestling tapings in New York City.

Why this record matters
