#3 Moose and The North control their own narratives in unique ways at Bound For Glory

Speaking of narratives, Moose vs. EC3 was all about that word coming into Bound For Glory 2020. EC3 has targeted Moose and his TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Although it originally seemed that EC3 just wanted to rid IMPACT Wrestling of this false relic of the past in the title, the story has further developed showing that EC3's goal has been deeper than that. He has wanted to bring something darker out of his adversary.

In this cinematic match at Bound For Glory 2020, EC3 got just that with Moose showing off a new side to himself. Even when Ethan Carter III looked like he could get the victory over his opponent, he hesitated, allowing Moose to take advantage of the opening and take him down with ferocity. Both men were bloody by the end of this, but it was Moose who looked like the victor after blasting EC3 with the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. He had finally controlled his narrative and put EC3 in his rearview.

On the other hand, The North took control of their narrative in another way. After a promo earlier in the night where Ethan Page showed that his time without the IMPACT Tag Team Titles had touched a nerve, the North said that they would hurt someone tonight, and that's what they did. Before their Fatal Four Way Tag Team Match at Bound For Glory 2020, the North ambushed the Motor City Machine Guns with Josh Alexander laying out Alex Shelley with a double underhook piledriver on the ramp.

That created a match-long narrative of Chris Sabin trying to defend the Tag Team titles on his own. He put in a tremendous babyface effort here at Bound For Glory, working double-time to defend those straps. But it was Page and Alexander using the titles and blasting Karl Anderson of the Good Brothers with them to get the win. The North are now two-time IMPACT Wrestling Tag Team Champions, walking out of Bound For Glory 2020 victorious.
