PWInsider’s Mike Johnson reported that the reason for the late start time is due to Impact officials did not want their Bound for Glory 2021 event to go up directly against AEW’s Dynamite show that night. Johnson also reported that Impact officials had considered the idea of moving their event a day later to Sunday, October 24th but decided that it would not have been a viable solution.
