PreGame with BWO: TNA Bound for Glory 2026
(TGBH) What’s hood yall. We coming at you from every side per the usual ready to continue getting numbers in the blog game. We got a great squad of creative writers that love wrestling and with so much wrestling to choose from, it’s only right we continue to bring the predictions blogs for our 12 loyal readers.
(PCM) I love all 12 of you equally. Except number 7, you are my fave. Anyway, this is their flagship show, and it's rightfully stacked. A lot of names are coming in, so it seems to me like a minor change of the guard.
(DSS) Alright y'all, it's time to be completely honest with y'all: outside of some social mediaeqq clips, I have not been able to keep up to date with TNA. They’ve been able to pick up some great names, and the stories really seem to be heating up.
(B-OE3W) Is it Bound for Glory time already?? This card looks a LOT different than last year’s card. I’d say there’s a lot less WWE scent in the mix this year, but that doesn’t necessarily seem to be the case. In any case, the WWE partnership has decidedly waned since last year, so it will most definitely be interesting to see how TNA pulls out their premier annual production with the bumpers dropped. Let’s see how this rolls!
PreGame w/bWo:
TNA Bound for Glory 2026
Falls Count Anywhere
The Hardys vs Syx
(DSS) I'm actually excited about this one. Samuel Shaw (fka Dexter Loomis) is one of my favorite stars that WWE released, and I'm excited that he's in TNA and reunited with Joseph Sawyer (Joe Gacy). I know Syx aren't exactly the youngest guys on any roster, but The Hardys have to realize it's time to start taking the pins for other talent and start shifting away from wrestling.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
The Hardys
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Syx (Can we also drop the Wyatt gimmick and do something original)
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Syx
BRANdon’s Pick:
Syx (please)
Eddie Edwards vs. Ricky Sosa
(B-OE3W) If Eddie “Edward” Edwards gets the win over what will likely be one of the company’s top stars within the next 2-3 years at their biggest show of the year, TNA has lost the plot. Eddie is a great wrestler and worthy of world title contention, but he’s also dull as dishwater and he thought the solution was a beard and a mohawk. This one ought to go to the young blood because God knows TNA needs that infusion more than anything right now.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Eddie Ewards via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Edward Edwards via pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Ricky Sosa via pinfall
BRANdon’s Pick:
BANG BANG.
SOSA SOSA.
TNA X Division Championship
Fabian Aichner vs. KC Navarro vs. Rich Swann vs. Ryan Nemeth vs. Cedric Alexander vs. BDE
(PCM) The division that rarely misses. And with some of the best the division to offer, I don’t see it missing. Like the ppv overall, I see this as a good mix of old guard and new guard. Look for Cedric to win this. It looks like they want him a big part of the division and this is a way to get the title back on him after dropping it to Slater
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
KC Navarro
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Cedric Alexander
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
KC Navarro
BRANdon’s Pick:
Ryan Nemeth
TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championship
Allie and Kiera Hogan(c) vs. Zoey Stark and Shayna Baszler
(TGBH) Called this ages ago and it’s finally happening, Shayna Baszler has arrived in the Impact Zone. Baszler has left a void in women’s wrestling that is impossible to fill. Stark is back in top form and ready to make up for lost time and ready to make a name for herself in the land of Total Nonstop Action. All three members of Pure Fusion Collective are now in TNA so it wont be long before we see a resurgence, or so I hope. Allie with Rosemary or Hogan as champs has been fun, but it’s time to put the belts on a real threat to the Knockouts Tag division. Baszler has already claimed their limbs and will stop at nothing til she leaves with said limbs, and the belts.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Pure Fusion Collective, forever
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Zoey and Shayna
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Zoey and Shayna via submission
BRANdon’s Pick:
Pure Fusion Collective via submission
Call Your Shot Gauntlet
Entrants:
Frankie Kazarian, Brian Myers, The HomeTown Man, Elijah, Dutch, Vincent, Trey Miguel, Joe Alonzo, AJ Francis, Avery Styles, Harley Hudson, Elayna Black, Jayda Stone, Mr. Elegance, M by Elegance, Heather by Elegance, Gabby Forza, and more TBA
(B-OE3W) I don’t know how much exposition this one needs. Joe Alonzo is a GREAT addition for TNA and he’d be my guy to win most any other day, but even with the disadvantage, I think Trey Miguel should go the distance toward the one title in TNA he’s yet to claim. I hate that he got cut from the Rascalz when they went to AEW, but TNA has done well in keeping Trey valuable, and I hope that he gets a feelgood moment at the end of this.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Avery Styles
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Anyone but Avery Styles
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
BRANdon’s Pick:
Trey Miguel
TNA Knockouts World Championship
Xia Brookside(c) vs. Indi Hartwell
(DSS) Indi has been chasing this title for what feels like forever. Xia has been a decent champion, but I'm ready to see Indi as champion. The only issue with this is I feel like this has been Indi vs. authority moreso than a proper Championship feud.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Xia Brookside via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Indi Hartwell via pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Indi Hartwell via pinfall
BRANdon’s Pick:
Indi Hartwell (ugh)
TNA International Championship
Mustafa Ali(c) vs. Jason Hotch vs. John Skyler vs. Special Agent Zero
(PCM) Order 4 has been one of the better things on TNA in recent years, but all good things must come to an end and not overstay its welcome (Judgement Day). Look for this to be a contender for match of the night. All four of these guys are good and will ball out. Call me biased, but give it to Jason Hotch again. Dude is from my area and he keeps getting better. Let my man shine.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Special Agent Zero via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Jason Hotch via pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Jason Hotch via pinfall
BRANdon’s Pick:
Jason Hotch via pinfall
Moose vs. Max Caster
(TGBH) Moose is the workhorse of TNA, he’s managed to still find something to do after being tied up with The System to what felt like no end. Moose’s open challenge has been answered by Max Caster, another AEW talent that has been let go to make space for other talent, sounds familiar doesnt it? And now he’s in new territory with a major, platinum chip on his shoulder considering The Acclaimed was one of the many original acts that help build the foundation of what AEW has become today. Max Caster truly deserves better and I hope TNA gives it to him before he moves on to NXT. You dont always need surprises, sometimes announcing something like this ahead of time will make a positive impact on the product. Pulling for Max here, Moose is the perfect dance party partner to make Max look like a million bucks….or mooses.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Max Caster via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Moose via pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Max Caster via pinfall
BRANdon’s Pick:
Max Caster via pinfall, probably small package
TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Nic Nemeth(c) vs. Leon Slater
(TGBH) I think it’s safe to move away from the Slater is going to WWE narrative cause he still hasn’t done so, and to be honest he would have done it already. I dont think TNA had that long of a contract with Slater and may probably have already secured him another year or two. Time to put some real faith in the guy and slap their biggest prize on him. He’s certainly earned it and would not be out of place with the belt on his waist. Heath’s cousin Leon has been Bound for Glory since day one, why not end the year and bring in the new year with a fresh champ.
(DSS) Nic Nemeth had his moment. He's been a World Champion for a bit and he's standing across from a young guy that can carry the company into the future if they let him. Nic has got a whole other title to worry about, he can let the World Title pass to someone as deserving as Leon Slater. Is it the right time to move on to someone young in the main card? Genuinely who gives a shit. Asking that question is how we keep ourselves from ever moving forward. Take a chance. Push Leon to the top and let TNA evolve.
(PCM) The rumor keeps circulating that Leon is going to WWE. And if so, no need to give him a title for title's sake; never a fan of those. Nic has proven he can carry the company; let him cook. Will the match be good? Yes, of course. But no need for a reign for the new champ just to drop it. Just give us what we want. Leon Slater vs. Je’Von Evans
(B-OE3W) I dunno, I’m not certain if Leon’s sticking around, fellas. As much as I would love to see a wrestler built literally from Gut Check at 19 years old be the face of TNA, the position doesn’t carry the allure it did 15 or more years ago. I have to believe that, like many other pillars of TNA before him, Leon will be spirited away to a higher plane with a bigger budget. He deserves all adulation, but this comes at the expense of one of TNA’s biggest homegrown stars since the OG batch, and that sucks. Alas, such is the essence of TNA in this day and age. I think the Nemeths come out of BfG as champ champs.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Leon Slater via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Nic Nemeth via pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Leon Slater via pinfall
BRANdon’s Pick:
Nic Nemeth and it’s gonna suck
