After Chris Bey became the new X-Division Champion at Slammiversary, Rohit Raju began antagonising TJP and somehow made him challenge Chris Bey for the title. The Desi Hitman then went to the champion and asked him to include him in the championship match, so that he could help Bey defeat TJP and retain his title. A week later, Chris Bey agreed to include Rohit Raju in the X-Division Championship match and IMPACT Wrestling went on to make the Triple-Threat match official. After the announcement, Rohit Raju gained Chris Bey’s trust by slamming TJP and his tag-team partner Fallah Bahh.
