The Hardys win Tag Team titles at TNA Bound for Glory

The Hardys are TNA Tag Team Champions.

Matt & Jeff Hardy survived Full Metal Mayhem in the main event of Saturday’s TNA Bound for Glory event in Detroit, Michigan. The finish saw Eddie Edwards of The System attempt to climb the ladder, only to be met by steel chairs by the Hardys. They then took him out with a powerbomb out of the ring and onto tables on the outside as Matt & Jeff climbed up and grabbed the titles, ending Bound for Glory on a positive note as the new champions.

Saturday’s Full Metal Mayhem match consisted of The Hardys, The System (Edwards & Brian Meyers), and ABC (Chris Bey and Ace Austin). The match featured homages from similar matches in The Hardys’ career, including Meyers jumping off a ladder and spearing Chris Bey as well as Jeff Hardy hitting a swanton bomb on Meyers off a ladder and through tables.

This is the third time that the Hardys have won the TNA Tag Team titles. They last won the titles at Bound for Glory back in 2016.

Nic Nemeth retains TNA World title over Joe Hendry at Bound for Glory

Believing in Joe Hendry wasn’t enough.

Hendry ultimately failed to win the TNA World Championship at Bound For Glory. The finish of the match had special guest referee Frankie Kazarian attempt to cash in his Call Your Shot Gauntlet trophy he had won earlier in the show. However, JBL made another surprise appearance, laying out Kazarian with the clothesline from hell. He exited the ring and told something to Hendry, who seemed confused and grabbed JBL by the jacket in response. JBL responded by laying out Hendry with a clothesline. JBL also took out Ryan Nemeth before making his exit.

Back in the ring, Hendry was laid out by Ziggler with the Danger Zone but kicked out as a second referee made his way to the ring. Hendry went for the Standing Ovation but Nemeth dodged and hit the Danger Zone for a second time, scoring the win.

The TNA World Championship has alluded Hendry for most of the year. At Slammiversary, he lost the chance to win the title after Josh Alexander turned on him. He would go on to defeat Kazarian to become the new number-one contender for Nic Nemeth’s title last month.

Masha Slamovich wins Knockouts title at TNA Bound for Glory

Masha Slamovich is the new Knockouts Champion.

Slamovich won the title in the first of three main events that took place at Saturday’s TNA Bound for Glory in Detroit. The finish saw Grace attempt for a Grace Driver off the top rope. Slamovich instead fought her way through and connected with a superplex. She followed that up with a piledriver to secure the win, becoming Knockouts Champion for the first time.

After the match, Slamovich brought Grace to her feet and the two hugged.

Grace had been champion for most of the year, holding it for 288 days. She defeated Trinity (Naomi) for the title at TNA Hard to Kill on January 14. Grace had cashed in her Call Your Shot title match that she had won at last year’s Bound for Glory.

Saturday’s match was a rematch from two years ago when Grace met Slamovich at Bound for Glory 2022. In that match, Grace pinned Slamovich to retain the title.

Frankie Kazarian wins Call Your Shot Gauntlet at Countdown to TNA Bound for Glory

Frankie Kazarian is this year’s Call Your Shot Gauntlet winner.

Kazarian and Rhino were the last two in the battle royal, turning it into a one-on-one match. However, it was a short bout as Kazarian low blowed the newest member of TNA’s Hall of Fame and scored the pinfall, winning this year’s trophy.

As a result, Kazarian will now be able to challenge any champion in TNA at any time in the next year. It was noted on commentary that this could play into Bound for Glory’s main event, where Joe Hendry is set to challenge Nic Nemeth for the TNA World Championship with Kazarian serving as special guest referee. Even if Hendry wins, Kazarian could serve as a spoiler.

In a promo after his win, Kazarian promised that at the end of the show, he would raise the hand of the real TNA World Champion.

Other participants in the gauntlet match include Zachary Wentz, Trey Miguel, Hammerstone, Jake Something, Rohit Raju, Laredo Kid, Sami Callihan, John Skyler, Bhupinder Gujjar, KC Navarro, Tasha Steelz, Lei Ying Lee, Jason Hotch, Jonathan Gresham, JDC, and AJ Francis.
