context_page_description: Destination X (2008) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling promotion, which took place on March 9, 2008, at the Norfolk Scope in Norfolk, Virginia. It was the fourth event under the Destination X chronology and the third event in the 2008 TNA PPV schedule. Eight professional wrestling matches were featured on the event's card, two of which involved championships, while one match was held prior to the event.
  The main event was a Six Man Tag Team match where The Unlikely Alliance defeated The Angle Alliance. On the undercard was an Elevation X match in which Rhino defeated James Storm. Robert Roode defeated Booker T in a Stand By Your Man Strap match. The team of Curry Man and Shark Boy defeated Team 3D in a Fish Market Street Fight.
  This event marked the second time the Elevation X match was used by TNA. Jason Clevett of the professional wrestling section of the Canadian Online Explorer rated the event a six of ten, lower than the seven out of ten given to the 2007 event's ranking by Chris Sokol.
context_section_description: Following Destination X, Samoa Joe went on to Lockdown on April 13, 2008, to face Kurt Angle in a Six Sides of Steel Cage match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. This match was announced on the March 13, 2008, episode of Impact! by Management Director Jim Cornette. On the April 10, 2008, episode of Impact!, a stipulation was added that if Joe lost he would retire from professional wrestling. At Lockdown, Joe defeated Angle to win the championship.
  Christian Cage and Tomko were announced as the annual team captains in the 2008 Lethal Lockdown match by Cornette on the March 13 episode of Impact!. Over the weeks leading up to the event the two picked their team members, ending up with Team Cage consisting of Cage, Rhino, Kevin Nash, Sting, and Matt Morgan, while Team Tomko was made up of Tomko, A.J. Styles, James Storm, and Team 3D (Brother Devon and Brother Ray). At Lockdown, Team Cage defeated Team Tomko in a Five-on-Five Lethal Lockdown match.
  With the return of Sharmell at Destination X, an Intergender Tag Team Six Sides of Steel Cage match was held at Lockdown, pitting Sharmell and Booker T against Payton Banks and Robert Roode. The bout was announced on the March 20, 2008, episode of Impact! by Cornette. Sharmell and Booker were the victors in the contest at Lockdown, thus ending the feud between Booker T and Roode.
  TNA X Division Champion Jay Lethal went on to defend the title in an Xscape match at Lockdown. The match was promoted on the March 13 episode of Impact!, with qualifying matches held leading up to Lockdown. The wrestlers who qualified for the bout were Shark Boy, Curry Man, Johnny Devine, Sonjay Dutt, and Consequences Creed. Lethal ended up retaining the title at the event. Lethal eventually lost the title on the April 17, 2008, episode of Impact!, when Petey Williams used his TNA X Division Feast of Fired Title shot.
  LAX (Hernandez and Homicide) became number one contenders to the TNA World Tag Team Championship at Destination X. They were given their championship match on the April 17 episode of Impact!, however at Lockdown the team of Eric Young and Kaz won a Cuffed in the Cage match earning them a championship match as well. Due to this, it became a Three Way Tag Team match between LAX, the team of Young and Kaz, and TNA World Tag Team Champions Styles and Tomko. Young and Kaz won the bout, however, due to a controversial finish the championship was vacated by Cornette. Cornette then set up the Deuces Wild Tag Team Tournament heading into TNA's Sacrifice PPV event on May 11, 2008, to crown new champions. LAX went on to the event to win the tournament, thus winning the championship.
  In October 2017, with the launch of the Global Wrestling Network, the event became available to stream on demand.
