Rohit Raju is now forced to defend his belt in a six-way bout at Bound For Glory.
Last night, Raju held his open challenge for the X-Division title again and Willie Mack immediately answered by demanding a rematch following the controversial end to their bout at Victory Road. Not surprisingly, Raju denied Mack the opportunity; however, former Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace came out for an opportunity next.
As the match started, Raju hesitated to give the belt to the referee and Willie Mack took matters into his own hands as he had a back-and-forth tug of war with Raju. While the X-Division champion was distracted, Grace rolled him up – in a callback to when Raju beat Trey Miguel a few weeks ago – and got the very easy three count.
Grace won the X-Division title, but Raju convinced the referee that the belt wasn’t on the line thus the Texas native was forced to hand him back the championship. Following that segment, Scott D’Amore congratulated Raju and commended him for being a fighting champion, but pulled the rug from under him by announcing a six-way title match at BFG for the X-Division belt.
