Let's take a look at everything that happened at this year's Bound for Glory PPV.

The first match of the night saw Sosa take on what the announcers called his biggest opponent to date, Edwards.

At just 21 years old, Sosa is in a similar spot to where Slater was when he first joined TNA. If he can keep impressing officials, he will have a long career ahead of him.

The pace was quick whenever Sosa was in control, and whenever Edwards took over, it became a little more hard-hitting.

This was a decent match, but it felt more like it belonged on TV than on a PPV. This did not have the feel of taking place at the biggest show of the year for TNA.

Things picked up in the second half and made it a little more exciting, especially whenever Sosa took to the skies.

Sosa ended up taking out Alisha Edwards when she got involved, but that distraction allowed Eddie to gain the upper hand momentarily, but Sosa finished him off with a Headshot for the win.

Sosa got great elevation on his dropkick.

TNA's smaller ring takes some getting used to if you are not familiar with it. You barely notice, but it just feels off somehow.

Alisha Edwards does a good job being active in the match without distracting too much.

Aichner was out first for this Scramble match that went from six to seven competitors when Amazing Red revealed he would be involved during the TNA Hall of Fame ceremony.

The other competitors included BDE, Alexander, Navarro, Swann, Red and the younger Nemeth brother, Ryan. Most of these guys qualify as high-flyers, so we knew we were in for a show, but the inclusion of Nemeth and Aichner gave those guys a base.

As expected, this match was fast-paced right out of the gate. There wasn't a single moment when nothing was happening in or outside the ring. Not every spot was memorable, but they all added to the overall entertainment.

Swann was one of the standouts, which is not surprising given his skills, but even with seven people all vying for the crowd's attention, it never felt like it was too chaotic to follow what was happening.

After several close calls, Red ended up pinning Navarro to become the new X-Division champion. The newly inducted Hall of Famer looked elated when he was handed the belt.

Amazing Red still wrestling at this level in 2026 is awesome.

Seeing Swann and Alexander together is always fun. It kind of makes us miss 205 Live.

Nemeth trying to shake everyone's hand only to eat a superkick was a funny way to start the match.

Red and Navarro had a nice sequence in the middle of the match.

Even though it took way too long to set up, the six-man Tower of Doom spot was kind of cool.

Allie and Kiera Hogan vs. Shayna Baszler and Zoey Serrano

Shayna Baszler made her TNA in-ring debut at Bound for Glory when she teamed with Serrano to take on Allie and Hogan for the Knockouts tag titles.

Hogan and Allie may have come into this as the champions, but they were also the underdogs in many ways. Baszler is known as a dangerous striker and submission artist, and Serrano is a powerhouse, so they bullied their opponents every chance they got.

This match had a steady pace, but it did feel like it moved a bit too slowly at times, especially when it took longer to set up a move than it should.

Baszler locked Allie in a choke and made her pass out to make her and Zoey the new Knockouts tag champs.

This match could have used a few more minutes and a couple of high spots, but having new champions is always nice. Baszler and Serrano work well together.

Result: Baszler and Serrano won the titles

It's nice to see Baszler back in the ring. She was never properly used in WWE.

In some ways, this was a WWE vs. AEW tag match when you look at where each woman came from before this.

Allie's little tribute to The Butcher was nice.

The Call Your Shot Gauntlet was up next. This match combines rules from a Battle Royal and standard Gauntlet match, so eliminations over the top rope happen until the final two competitors are left, and then they have a standard singles match to end it.

Here is the order of entry for the competitors:

The biggest portion of this match resembled a Battle Royal, and it included all of the usual tropes of that kind of bout. The fact that it was intergender also led to some interesting moments.

There were plenty of entertaining moments, but most of the entrants never felt like they had a chance to win, so most of the time was spent waiting for the most obvious eliminations. Sadly, some of the moments meant to be comedic fell flat.

The final four were Kaz, Francis, Styles and Miguel. When it was just Kazarian and Miguel left, the singles match began. They put on a good show, but it wasn't quite enough to elevate the whole long match.

Kazarian ended up getting the win while they were trading pinning combinations.

If Styles wants to make his own name, he should stop copying his dad's entrance right away.

Styles jumped way too early for a dropkick.

Dutch's one-armed slam on Styles looked good.

Cleary hitting a poison rana on Bronson was a cool spot.

Rehwoldt talking such a huge game as he was getting ready only to get tossed right out by Heather was kind of funny.

Ben Bishop took out Jada Stone on his way to the ring.

Mustafa Ali vs. Jason Hotch vs. John Skyler vs. Special Agent 0

The TNA International Championship was on the line in a Fatal 4-Way when Ali put the belt on the line against Hotch, Agent 0 and Skyler.

Hotch and Ali's last match at Lockdown was a banger, so there was a lot of pressure on them to do the same, which added even more pressure to Skyler and Agent 0.

For some reason, there was no commentary even though they were still at ringside, and when you add that to how poorly the audio was to the crowd, it made this feel way too quiet despite the fact that all four guys were going hard right away.

Weirdly, backing out of the stream and going back in seemed to fix the issue, so it was hard to say where the glitch occurred. There were also some graphical issues and lag at times.

Despite those technical issues, this was a very entertaining contest. Everyone involved was doing their best to make this an exciting bout, and they definitely succeeded. Hotch and Ali were definitely the standouts, but everyone contributed.

Hotch was able to steal the win by using a crucifix pin after Ali hit a 450, making him the new international champion.

Result: Hotch won the International Championship

Ali does a surprisingly good job playing a creepy heel who wants to intimidate women and children.

It's really a shame Ali never meshed well in WWE. He deserves to be on a bigger stage. Everything from his entrance to his ring work feels a cut above everyone else in TNA right now.

The way Ali hit the corner when he slid out of the ring looked nasty.

Ali hit a very nice 450 to put Tasha Steelz and Agent 0 through a table.

The Knockouts Championship was up for grabs when Brookside put it on the line against her rival, Hartwell. Mickie James served as the special guest referee.

There was a lot of trash talking before they locked up and started fighting for control. Hartwell is still beloved by fans, so it was easy for Brookside to get heat from the crowd with very simple heel tactics.

This felt like a personal fight between enemies, so it had good energy in that way, but it never felt like their physical intensity matched what was on their faces and what they were saying.

The match was decent, but it felt like it fell short of its potential. Both of these women are good in the ring, so it was surprising to see them take so long to find their groove. Once they did, things picked up a bit.

Xia tried to take the belt and leave at one point, but Indi made sure she didn'tmake it very far. She also got into an argument with James and slapped her, which led to James slapping her back and almost handing Hartwell the win.

Both women had some close falls, but it was Hartwell who emerged victorious as the new Knockouts champion.

It's great to see James still doing things in wrestling. She has been a constant in this business for a couple of decades.

The spot when Hartwell stopped Brookside's trash talk by shoving her into the apron was funny because of the close-up angle.

TNA has a new star on its roster, and he had his PPV debut this week when Caster took on TNA mainstay, Moose. As usual, Caster wrote a rap to insult his opponent on the way to the ring.

Moose tried to offer a handshake, but Max brushed him off. When Moose made a clean break in the corner, Caster pushed him. Moose fired back and knocked him down with one shoulder block.

The crowd was a little hard to hear at times throughout the night, but this was one of the times when the lack of noise was due to a lack of energy. It felt like the crowd just didn't care, which could partially be blamed on the placement of this match on the card.

Had this bout come earlier in the night, it might have been more exciting because it didn't have to follow a handful of title changes. There were no stakes, so there wasn't much of a reason to get invested unless you are a huge fan of one of these guys.

Other than a few spots that looked pretty good, there was nothing about this match that made most of it memorable. Had this been on a weekly TV show, it would have been good, but it did not feel like it belonged on a PPV, which is sad because Caster is actually a talented guy who is capable of more than this. We've seen it.

The final few minutes were definitely the best part. It felt like they had gotten used to each other, so we saw a few high-risk spots that worked out. The crowd woke up a bit, too. Moose was able to pick up the win with a Spear, spoiling Caster's debut.

Caster's rap could be seen as taking a shot at WWE, too.

Caster's dropkick off the chair caught Moose directly in the head. It did not look like a fun spot for him to take.

Caster hit a nice back body drop to send Moose into the steps. They lined it up about as well as you possibly could in that situation.

Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw, the former Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis, had one of their biggest matches to date when they faced Matt and Jeff Hardy in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Syx destroyed a table with sledgehammers as they made their entrance.

The match got started when all four men started brawling before the Hardys had even gotten to the ring.

By design, this match was mayhem, and that was probably for the best. If they tried to work a standard tag match, it wouldn't have been nearly as enjoyable as this was. They fought all over the arena and concourse area.

Jeff ended up hitting a massive Swanton bomb through two tables from the second level of the crowd, but it looked like they had something even riskier planned when they set up some tables and ladders on the stage.

Unfortunately for them, Erick Redbeard showed up and slammed them through the tables instead. Syx was able to get the win, thanks in large part to Redbeard's interference. This was a fun mess of a match.

Kazarian revealed during a backstage promo that he plans to use his title shot for him and Styles to challenge for the TNA tag titles.

Has X-Pac commented about Syx yet? He should be their manager.

That table spot from Jeff was great. It's wild how he has done stuff like that for so long and can still walk.
