Did Option C help or hurt the X division
I think it was a fun concept to start and a nice surprise when they had Aries (who was red hot) take down Roode tho in the process that threw him Roode vs Storm
Since then tho, it's been a lazy excuse to put the title on guys you want to race up to the world title. Cage could been a legit good X division champion but they got lazy and it has hurt him since

I feel it's been more good than bad, overall, but it's not the worst idea they've had.

Originally with Aries cashing in? The only good thing that happened during the Hogan era.

I like the idea in theory, but would’ve preferred to see it used differently. Have it for a dominant champion, say someone gets X amount of title defences, or hold the title for 6 straight months or something like that and you get Option C

I liked it when they did it once. I hate that it became the booking every year.

You have to have had the title belt a certain amount of time or defend it X amount of time before you can use Option C. Would add intrigue to guys who are obvious choices for long runs like Cage, Pentagon while a guy like Swann can take a chance on himself
Probably should add another stipulation to like if you use Option C you can't go for the title for 3 months or something like Option C can only be used by a wrestlers once every 16 months or something like that

Am I the only one bothered that it wasn't called Option X?

It would have been great if they had figured out how to book the X-Division in the other 11 months of the year. Build up the importance of the title as being a glass ceiling breaker for smaller guys in wrestling during the other parts of year, and have guys who have already broken into the main event scene trickle back into the division as they get closer to Destination X in hopes of getting the title shot.
Instead, they would seemingly panic at the last minute trying to shoehorn Option C into whatever the planned match was, or put on some match that nobody bought as a PPV main event.

Option C sounds like a stand-in for Plan B pills on an episode of Law and Order for some court case.
