We're less than 24 hours away from the 17th edition of IMPACT Wrestling's Bound For Glory pay-per-view. The show will emanate from Sam's Town Live in Sunrise Manor, Nevada.
It is that time of year when the company will provide a collective display of action-packed bouts and jaw-dropping surprises. The hype surrounding the possible debuts of Braun Strowman and Buddy Murphy is unreal.
A total of eight matches have already been lined up, out of which four will be title defenses and two more titles will crown new winners. The outcome of these encounters could change the landscape of both men's and women's divisions moving forward.
Given the Nashville-based promotion's ties with AEW and NJPW, it will be interesting to see who will break the hinges of the forbidden door to show up tonight. With the event already sold out, the company will be aiming to pull off a star-studded show.
Now, without further ado, let's dive into what the company has in store for us.
#8 Six-way match for the inaugural Digital Media Championship on IMPACT Wrestling Bound For Glory
The inaugural Digital Media Champion will be crowned during the pre-show of Bound For Glory tonight. The bout will feature six competitors in John Skyler, Crazzy Steve, Fallah Bahh, Jordynne Grace, Madison Rayne, and Tenille Dashwood.
Given that it will be an intergender match, chaos is likely to happen. At this point, it is hard to predict a favorite to walk out with the new championship. The unpredictability factor will keep fans in bated breath during this match.
#7 Heath and A Mystery Partner vs. Violent By Design on IMPACT Wrestling Bound For Glory
A tag team match pitting Violent By Design against Heath Slater and a mystery partner will go down tonight. The former 3MB member made a surprising return on the September 30th episode of IMPACT Wrestling. He saved Rhino from taking a potential beatdown from the VBD.
The entire storyline revolved around Slater trying to convince his former partner that he had been brain-washed by Eric Young and the group. Much to everyone's surprise, Rhino is yet to align with any of them at the moment. But fans can expect Rhino to join forces with Slater to face the VBD, who kicked him out of their group.
#6 20 Man Call Your Shot Gauntlet match
IMPACT Wrestling's Bound For Glory will also feature a 20-man Call Your Shot Gauntlet match. The winner will receive a trophy, which they can cash in for a championship match of their choosing.
IMPACT Wrestling star Chris Sabin will enter at #1 and W. Morrisey at #20, with other participants like Rich Swann, Brian Myers, Moose also part of the match. The remaining competitors will be revealed at the show itself.
#5 Decay (Havok and Rosemary) (c) vs. The IInspiration ( IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts tag team titles)
Rosemary and Havok will put their IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts tag team titles against the debuting IInspiration ( Jessica Mckay & Cassie Lee). At Knockouts Knockdown, the company announced the arrival of Lee and McKay, who were best known for their time in WWE as IIconics.
With Decay on a roll since becoming the champions, it remains to be seen if the IInspiration will end their title reign.
#4 The Good Brothers (c) vs. FinJuice vs. Chris Bey and Hikuleo (IMPACT Tag Team Championship)
The Good Brothers will put their IMPACT Wrestling tag team titles on the line against FinJuice and The Bullet Club. Originally Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson were supposed to face the winner from FinJuice and the Bullet Club.
However, their match ended in chaos, with both teams pinning each other at the same time. IMPACT Wrestling EVP Scott D'Amore then made it a three-way match for the pay-per-view.
The Good Brothers will have an uphill task to retain their gold since they don't have to be pinned or submitted to lose their titles. It remains to be seen which duo will come on top tonight.
#3 Trey Miguel vs. Steve Maclin vs. El Phantasmo (X-Division Championship)
A three-way match featuring Trey Miguel, Steve Maclin, and El Phantasmo will go down to crown the new IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Champion. Josh Alexander recently evoked Option C and relinquished his X-Division Title to get the IMPACT World Title Shot against Christian Cage.
Miguel, Maclin, and Phantasmo earned their opportunities by qualifying from their respective matches. The prospect of seeing a new champion has created excitement among fans. All the competitors are incredibly talented in the ring, and they will leave no stone unturned to bask in their glory tonight.
#2 Deonna Purrazzo (c) vs. Mickie James (IMPACT Knockouts Championship)
Deonna Purrazzo will put her Knockouts Championship on the line against Mickie James. The feud kickstarted when the latter returned to this year's Slammiversary to confront The Virtuosa. Since then, both women haven't been on the same page whenever they come face-to-face.
After getting frustrated, IMPACT Wrestling star Deonna Purrazzo finally laid her hands on James at NWA 73 event. Given the depth of their storyline, both women could produce a clash for the ages and bring eyeballs to the IMPACT Wrestling women's division. It is unlikely that a title change will happen, but it's hard to bet against James' legendary status.
#1 Christian Cage (c) vs. Josh Alexander (IMPACT Wrestling World Championship)
Christian Cage will put his IMPACT World Championship on the line against Josh Alexander. It would certainly be one of the most anticipated matches in the company's history, given that a title change could change the landscape of the men's division moving forward.
For months an AEW star, be it Kenny Omega or Christian Cage, has been carrying the coveted prize of IMPACT Wrestling. The Walking Weapon finally dared to step up and evoke Option C to get a shot at Christian Cage's title. Given both men's sound techniques, fans can expect a classic main event this Sunday.
Will Josh Alexander reach the pinnacle of his career by beating Christian Cage at Bound for Glory? We'll find out tonight.
