Destination X 2012

Destination X 2012 is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion, which will take place on July 8, 2012 at the Impact Wrestling Zone in Orlando, Florida. It will be the eighth show under the Destination X chronology and seventh event in the 2012 TNA PPV schedule.

Storylines
Destination X will feature professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and that culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Destination X, as the name suggests, sees the X-Division members of the roster showcased wholly or primarily throughout the night in off-the-top, high risk wrestling bouts.

The main event of the Destination X will focus on Austin Aries taking on Bobby Roode for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. On the June 14 edition of Impact Wrestling following Slammiversary, the TNA X Division Champion slated to main event Destination X as advertised, Austin Aries, having hit the landmark of becoming the longest reigning X Division Champion in history and now eager for more glory, proposed to the General Manager Hulk Hogan for a World Title match against the champion Bobby Roode at the PPV. Hogan, impressed with him as whole, gave him one week to decide on the dilemma that if Aries wants his shot, he would be forced to relinquish the X Division Title. A week later, Aries agreed to the stipulation and was granted his championship match. Roode not fond of being called out by the X Division Champion, vowed to prove his worth as World Champion going into battle with Aries at the event.
