Eleven times we've seen all three titles successfully defended on the same night, but only once have we seen all three change hands. Bound for Glory (2006) saw Sting win the World Title from Jeff Jarrett, Chris Sabin defeat Senshi for the X title, and LAX over Styles and Daniels to win the tag titles.
