On Saturday evening, the third installment of Final X takes the stage. Six world team series, as well as a handful of true third matchups, will take place at historic Grace Hall on the campus of Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA.

The addition of the true third matches, which finalize the national team (top three at a given weight) makes Final X - Lehigh the largest of the three installments. Of course, fans in attendance and those watching online will also get to see three men and three women earn their spots on the world teams and represent America at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary, in October.

Where: Bethlehem, PA | When: Saturday, June 23

Like we always do at this time, the FloWrestling staff will make predictions. Love them or hate them, feel free to praise or ridicule us. Either way, you're going to have some fun.

It's pretty simple. The three men's and three women's matches will be wrestled in a best-of-three format. So the first round will go through all six matches, then the second round, and, if necessary, a third and deciding round. That's no different than the World Team Trials format for the last few decades.

Before we get to the picks, here is a bevy of Final X - Lehigh content for you to consume. Or breeze right past it. Your choice.
