The Impact X Division Championship (in German Impact Championship of the X Division (department) ) is a wrestling title that Impact Wrestling awards to individual wrestlers. This title is reserved for technically more demanding wrestlers, although there is no weight limit. The X Division Championship is the less prestigious title compared to the Impact World Heavyweight Championship , but thanks to the spectacular style of the X Division it quickly became the flagship of GFW . As is common in wrestling, the award is based on a previously determined storyline .
