In the main event, Austin Aries defeated Bobby Roode to win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

[5] The main event of the Destination X featured Austin Aries taking on Bobby Roode for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

On the June 14 edition of Impact Wrestling, TNA X Division Champion Aries was slated to main event Destination X as advertised.

Aries, having hit the landmark of becoming the longest reigning X Division Champion in TNA history, asked General Manager Hulk Hogan for a World Title match against the longest and reigning TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Bobby Roode, at the PPV.

[10][11] On the following week's Impact, Styles told TNA President Dixie Carter that they needed to bring the truth about what was happening between them to the forefront, as it was ammunition for Daniels against him in their feud.

[8][12] On the June 28 edition of Impact, with his head cleared from all the drama surrounding him and Carter, Styles announced that he got what he wanted which was a Last Man Standing match against Daniels at Destination X.

After the match, Daniels furthered the angle claiming that the truth was out regarding Claire, but not the fact that Styles is the father of her unborn child.

[13][14] For two weeks leading up to Destination X, two X Division Title Tournament Qualifier matches took place featuring outside, non-contracted talent.

In addition, there was a Bound For Glory Series match between longtime on-and-off rivals, Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe on the PPV.

[16] Also since a near career-ending injury suffered at the February Against All Odds PPV, X Division wrestler Jesse Sorensen made an appearance at the event to show his appreciation for all the fan support he had been getting throughout his recovery process.

Further on, Rubix cleared the ring and executed a leaping front flip dive to take out his competitors on the outside.

After multiple moves that allowed all involved to showcase themselves, Andrews went on to hit his fireman's carry into a cutter finisher on Only to win the match by pinfall.

[17][18] Kenny King versus Douglas Williams was next in a Semifinal match in the TNA X Division Title Tournament.

Gradually, action spilled to the outside after King exited the ring over the top rope with a twisting body charge at Williams on the outside.

Dutt eventually gained the upper hand, knocking Cameron out the ring, and following up with a flying dropkick.

[17][18] In the first of the main events of the night, longtime on-and-off rivals Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle, battled in a Bound for Glory Series match.

By the time the action returned inside the ring, Angle continued on his attack on Joe with both men attempting submission holds on each other.

Daniels taking the lead didn't last as Styles later leaped off a section of the set to perform a springboard moonsault into an inverted DDT drop.

Daniels pursued and rammed Styles into the nearby guardrail and then brought a table to the scene from under the ring and placed it below the stage.

During the match, Dutt sustained an apparent injury after landing awkwardly from performing a running shooting star press.

[17][18] The main event of the night was Austin Aries taking on the defending champion Bobby Roode for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

The show ended with Aries celebrating with his newly won belt as red and white confetti fell in the Impact Zone.

Bishop, who thought of the show as fantastic, spoke on the main attraction of the night that surrounded Aries-Roode for the World Title, "Red and white colored confetti comes down through the sky in the Impact Zone as Aries celebrates one of the most improbable world title wins in professional wrestling history."

Rinehart expressed his feelings that the company has invested effort into making Destination X a solid annual PPV and showcased its strongest points by bringing in young motivated talent, employing good booking decisions, and building coherent, long-term angles and stars.
