AUSTIN, Texas -- Today, USA Wrestling, the national governing body for wrestling in the United States, and FloSports, the innovator in live digital sports and original content, have announced that the general public will be able to order tickets for the two 2019 Final X events starting on Tuesday, Jan. 22 online through FinalX.tv
