In the events of 2018, there were only two disciplines; freestyle and women's freestyle. In 2019, Greco-Roman was also featured, presenting all of the three Olympic disciplines.^[3]

Overview

Final X events are separated into two different formats:

• Regular events: Events that provide full cards and go as planned.^[4]
• Wrestle-offs events: Events that provide only one match that had inconveniences in the past.^[5]

Function

Before 2018, the US World Team (one American wrestler per weight class competes at the World Championships) was defined in an event simply called "US World Team Trials".^[6] Since 2018, Final X has consisted on a best-of-three series that determines the representative of the United States at the World Championships.^[7]
