The 2016 Destination X (aka Impact Wrestling: Destination X) was a professional wrestling event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion, which took place on July 12, 2016 at the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida. It was the twelfth event under the Destination X chronology. It was featured as a live special edition of TNA's weekly broadcast of Impact Wrestling. Six professional wrestling matches were contested at the event. The main event was a title versus title match, in which the World Heavyweight Champion Lashley and the X Division Champion Eddie Edwards defended their respective titles. Moose made his TNA debut during the match and attacked both participants, resulting in the match ending in a no contest. On the undercard, Sienna retained the Knockouts Championship against Gail Kim, Jade and Marti Bell in a four-way match, Bram defeated Abyss. DJ Z competed at the event twice; first he won a six-man ladder match to become the #1 contender for the X Division Championship and then DJZ defeated Mike Bennett. Background TNA continued the tradition that began in 2012 where the current X Division Champion can invoke "Option C" – a concept in which the current X Division Champion may voluntarily vacate the championship in exchange for a TNA World Heavyweight Championship match at that year's Destination X event. On the July 5, 2016 episode of Impact Wrestling, TNA World Heavyweight Champion Lashley offered a title for title option to X Division Champion Eddie Edwards in lieu of Edwards having to invoke "Option C." Event Preliminary matches The event kicked off with a ladder match to determine the #1 contender for the X Division Championship between DJ Z, Rockstar Spud, Mandrews, Braxton Sutter, Trevor Lee and Andrew Everett.

Later that night, DJ Z challenged Bennett to a match, which Bennett accepted.
