The main event of the 18th Bound For Glory pay-per-view from Impact Wrestling is now official.
The Bound For Glory main event will see Honor No More leader Eddie Edwards challenge Impact World Champion Josh Alexander, with the title on the line.
Edwards became the new #1 contender to Alexander by winning a 6-Way Elimination Match on tonight’s post-Emergence edition of Impact. The bout also featured Rich Swann, Bandido, Sami Callihan, Moose, and Steve Maclin. Callihan was eliminated first after taking a Spear from Moose, while Maclin then rolled up Moose from behind to eliminate him. Bandido then created some chaos at ringside, and took advantage to hit the 21 Flex to eliminate Maclin. Edwards later stole a pin from Swann and hit the Boston Knee Party on Bandido to pin and eliminate him. The match came down to Edwards and Swann, and after intense back & forth action, Edwards hit the Die Hard Driver for the pin to win.
Unless Alexander defends again before the pay-per-view, Bound For Glory will be the 8th World Title defense since he won the strap from Moose at Rebellion on April 23. Alexander has retained in the following bouts since then – over Moose in their rematch on the April 28 episode; over Tomohiro Ishii at Under Siege on May 7; over Gabriel Fuerza at DWW’s The Clash on May 15; over Eric Young at Slammiversary on June 19; over Joe Doering at Against All Odds on July 1; a Draw/No Contest with Jacob Fatu at “Jim Crockett Promotions Presents: Ric Flair’s Last Match” on July 31; and over Alex Shelley at Emergence on August 12.
The Bound For Gloy 2022 pay-per-view is scheduled for Friday, October 7 from the Washington Avenue Armory in Albany, NY. Tickets go on sale tomorrow morning at 10am ET via Ticketmaster. No other matches have been announced for Bound For Glory as of this writing, but we will keep you updated.
