Before Frankie Kazarian challenges Mike Bailey for the X-Division Title tomorrow night at Bound For Glory, he must get through the man he pinned to become #1 Contender, Kenny King! Kazarian counters an early Royal Flush attempt into a strong clothesline. King avoids a leg drop on the apron, then hits a slingshot crossbody to the outside. Kazarian turns the tide with a belly-to-belly suplex into the corner turnbuckles. Kazarian hits the springboard leg drop for two. King drives him face-first into the turnbuckle, then connects with a T-Bone suplex out of the corner. King almost puts Kazarian away with the Tiger Driver but it’s still not enough. Kazarian locks in a choke to win by submission!
Winner: Frankie Kazarian via Submission.

Mia Yim looks to teach Gisele Shaw a lesson in respect ahead of their respective matchups at Bound For Glory! Yim’s BFG opponent, Mickie James, joins Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt on commentary. Yim gains the early advantage with a Hurricanrana, sending Shaw retreating to the outside. Shaw hangs her up on the top rope, then soars with a corkscrew to gain the advantage. Shaw hits a draping DDT for two. Both Knockouts are down following a head-on collision in the middle of the ring. Yim hits a running cannonball but Shaw grabs the ropes to break the pin attempt. Yim puts her away with Eat Defeat!
Winner: Mia Yim via Pinfall.
After the match, James leaves commentary and goes face to face with Yim. If James loses tomorrow night at Bound For Glory, her career will be over.

Following Steve Maclin’s victory in Barbed Wire Massacre, Moose and Maclin aim to settle their differences once and for all with Sami Callihan as the Special Guest Referee! The bell rings and the fight is on as these two behemoths exchange strikes. Maclin dives to the outside with a SCUD Missile. Moose turns the tide with a vertical suplex on the floor. Moose remains in control as he hits a strong Irish whip into the corner. Moose takes Maclin off his feet with a big running boot, which Callihan approves of. Moose sends him throat-first into the rope but Maclin comes back with a clothesline. Moose is Caught in the Crosshairs but Callihan employs a slow count. Now it’s Moose who connects with Sky High but Callihan is too preoccupied to make the count. Moose spears Maclin out of his boots but instead of counting to three, Callihan take them both out with a pair of Cactus Drivers. Callihan pulls Maclin on top of Moose for the win!
Winner: Steve Maclin via Pinfall.
After the match, Calihan raises Maclin’s hand in victory as all three men turn their attention towards the Call Your Shot Gauntlet tomorrow night at Bound For Glory.

Before the Motor City Machine Guns challenge The Kingdom for the IMPACT World Tag Team Championship at Bound For Glory, momentum is up for grabs in singles action! Taven goes for an early Climax but Shelley counters and sends him retreating to the outside. Bennett trips up Shelley from the floor but Sabin returns the favor to Taven. Kanellis distracts the referee, but Taven misfires and hits his own partner with a dropkick. Shelley hits his signature penalty kick to the back of Taven, followed by a running shoulder tackle. Taven rakes the eyes, then connects with a series of backbreakers for two. Shelley avoids a springboard Moonsault and begins to fight back. Taven shuts him down with a successful springboard Moonsault. Shelley hits Sliced Bread out of the corner but Kanellis puts Taven’s foot on the ropes. Shelley gets his knees up on Aurora Borealis and rolls up Taven for a very close near fall. The match breaks down following a string of interference from Honor No More but Taven still can’t put him away. Shelley hits Shellshock to score the victory!
Winner: Alex Shelley via Pinfall.

IMPACT Executive Vice President Scott D’Amore facilitates the contract signing for the Knockouts World Championship match between Jordynne Grace and Masha Slamovich at Bound For Glory. The champion and challenger make their way to the ring and sit across from each other at the table. When asked to deliver a final address, Slamovich remains silent and signs the contract. Grace does have something to say, however, and tells Slamovich that while she may be undefeated, she’s not a two-time Knockouts World Champion, former Knockouts World Tag Team Champion and first-ever Digital Media Champion. That makes Grace the first Knockout ever to become a Triple Crown Champion. Grace says that Slamovich has never had the opportunity to learn from losing and at Bound For Glory, she’s going to teach her that difficult lesson. Slamovich utters “Masha’s going to kill you” in Russian before flipping the table on top of Grace. Slamovich Snowplows Grace through the table and stands tall to end the show.
