Team Britain , as well as being an addition ofRussia and theMiddle East . It is unknown whyCanada andGreat Britain will not feature their own Teams as they have in previous X-Cup Tournaments. It is possible that only four Teams are wanted by TNA and that Team International will fill the gap of the other Teams that will not be featured in the2008 Tournament.The Competition
Before the tournament, Alex Kozlov was in action against two Team TNA members, defeating
Curry Man but losing to Kaz. In their first match of the tournament, Tyson Dux and Daivari lost to theMotor City Machine Guns of Team TNA.
