The 2025 edition of Final X is in the books as Newark, NJ hosted some of the best domestic wrestling you’ll find. The men’s and women’s teams were determined Saturday with Best-of-Three series in all of the weight classes represented at the World Championships.

Below are the final results for the series in each weight class. 61 KG for the men will be contested at a later date and 72 KG for women was not contested due to 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist Amit Elor (at 68 KG) pulling out. The spot went to Alexandria Glaude after weigh ins.
