Video: TNA Bound For Glory 2024 Recap

From there, the show settles into a traditional recap package, looking back at TNA Bound For Glory 2024. We then see a quick “Happy Halloween” message from “The French-Canadian Frankenstein” PCO.

In-Ring: Frankie Kazarian, Joe Hendry, Nic Nemeth, The System

Inside the Impact Zone for the first time, Tom Hannifan and Matthew Rehwoldt welcome us to the Halloween edition of the show. Joe Hendry’s theme hits and the crowd roars. Out comes what looks at first (and second, honestly) sight to be Hendry.

In all actuality, it is Frankie Kazarian in the silky blue shirt, with a bleach-blond wig and the white pants, looking as much like Joe Hendry as Joe Hendry does. He does the wave and the dramatic soap opera actor head-turn. The works.

Kazarian begins on the microphone, talking in a fake accent over a ton of boos from the fans inside the Impact Zone inside Wayne State Fieldhouse in Detroit, MI. He even does the butt-out stomp-stomp, clap, stomp-stomp-clap routine, while calling himself an idiot who got lucky with viral fame.

As soon as he says, “When you say his name, he appears,” the theme for Joe Hendry hits again and out in the same outfit pointing at the imposter as the fans go wild. He gets in the ring and Kazarian backs off and exits the ring, but again does the butt-out stomp-stomp clap routine to his music, and the wave, from ringside.

As Hendry runs down Kazarian on the mic for being old, the theme for Nic Nemeth interrupts them. The TNA World Champion comes to the ring and explains himself to Hendry, noting all he saw at Bound For Glory was his brother Ryan Nemeth getting hit.

He says he believes in Joe Hendry after Bound For Glory and that Hendry deserves a shot at the TNA World Championship again. He says he wanted to give him that shot tonight, but TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella said no.

As the crowd boos, we hear the annoying voice of Alisha Edwards as she says her catchphrase, “Do you wanna know something?!” over and over and over again. She drones on forever with Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards and Tasha Steelz by her side, until Nemeth suggests he and Hendry beat up The System duo of Eddie Edwards and Brian Myers tonight.

Kazarian butts in with the fake Scottish accent and suggests they make it a six-man tag and he be their partner. He does the Hendry entrance wave to the crowd, but is met with a super kick from Nemeth and a Standing Ovation from Hendry.

Hendry’s theme hits again to end the entertaining opening segment. Hannifan and Rehwoldt run down the lineup for tonight, mentioning First Class vs. The Rascalz is coming up first, and then the show heads into the first commercial break of the evening.

In-Ring: Alisha Edwards, Tasha Steelz, Masha Slamovich, Jordynne Grace, Santino Marella

When the show returns, Hannifan and Rehwoldt are shown on-camera to explain that throughout the break, the shrill-voiced Alisha Edwards has been ranting away. As he tries saying that, he is cut off by the very same shrill-rants.

Edwards brings up there being a new TNA Knockouts Champion following TNA Bound For Glory 2024. As she verbally runs down the new champ and her former MAlisha tag-team partner, the new champ makes her way out to confront her in the ring.

Slamovich yanks the mic out of Edwards’ hand and mocks her. “Do you wanna know something?” Slamovich says everyone is sick and tired of hearing her voice. (Preach!) Slamovich says she doesn’t care if it’s Edwards or Steelz. She’s looking for a fight tonight.

Steelz seems game, and the two begin duking it out. As Slamovich gets the better of the exchange, Edwards attacks her from behind. Slamovich gets the better of Edwards, and Steelz jumps her from behind.

As the two begin to take over, Jordynne Grace’s theme hits and “The Juggernaut” comes out and runs them off. After Steelz and Edwards retreat to the floor, Grace and Slamovich stand tall in the ring as Santino Marella’s theme hits. He announces Grace & Slamovich vs. Edwards & Steelz for next week. For tonight, it’ll be Hendry & Nemeth vs. Edwards & JDC.

FIR$T CLA$$ (KC Navarro & AJ Francis) vs. The Rascalz (Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz)

The bell sounds, and it is Miguel and Navarro who kick things off for their respective teams. Fans chant “Let’s go Rascalz!” as they get ready to get things started. Navarro takes the early offensive lead, but puts the big L sign on Miguel’s head, which only fires up The Rascalz’ member.

Miguel grabs hands with Navarro, walks the ropes and blasts him with a big shot to knock him down to the mat. He makes the tag to Wentz, who hits a sunset flip over the ropes to set up a wild double-team sequence with Miguel that pops the crowd.

As the Detroit fans in “The Motor City” break out in a random “Motor City!” chant, Hannifan gives a shout-out to The Motor City Machine Guns for making a big impact in WWE by winning the tag-team titles so soon after debuting on SmackDown.

Francis gives an assist behind the referee’s back that helps Navarro take over and hit a big high spot from the ring to the floor to take out Wentz. Francis tags in and the crowd craps all over him as he slows things down and beats on the already laid out Wentz.

He hits Miguel with a cheap shot and then a splash on Wentz in the opposing corner. He hits a running knee, floating over the ropes and to the floor for a “Money! Money! Money!” war-cry as Navarro tags in and takes over on Wentz back inside the ring.

Wentz and Miguel fire up again, but things culminate with the finish moments later, as Francis hits the Down Payment chokeslam to Miguel off the ropes in the corner for the victory.

Winner: FIR$T CLA$$ via Pinfall.

Six-Man Tag Team Match
Josh Alexander & The Good Hands (John Skyler & Jason Hotch) vs. Eric Young, Steve Maclin, & Jonathan Gresham

Josh Alexander makes his way out when the show returns. “The Walking Weapon” addresses chants of “Walking Weiner” from fans in the Impact Zone. He says he’s already not in a good mood. He heads to the ring accompanied by The Good Hands duo of Jason Hotch and John Skyler.

Alexander mentions Hotch and Skyler being with him because Sinner & Saint aren’t. He says TNA would tell you they aren’t there due to travel issues. He says that’s not true. He says they were turned away at customs. He tells The Good Hands if they do good tonight, there might be an opportunity for them.

The theme for Eric Young hits and out comes “The World Class Maniac.” He settles into the ring and then “The Octopus” Jonathan Gresham heads to the ring. As he does, Hannifan mentions another update on Chris Bey. Steve Maclin comes out last and rushes to the ring to try and get his hands on Alexander.

Alexander slides out of the ring, as do The Good Hands. As order is restored and things get started in our next match of the evening, Alexander immediately tags out and Skyler comes in to kick things off with Gresham. The show heads into a quick mid-match commercial break as the action continues.

When the show returns, we see Alexander is finally willing to tag in now that his opposition is down and out. After they start to fight back into competitive form, he quickly tags out again, only to come back in moments later and chop-block Young’s knee from behind.

Things once again don’t go Alexander’s way, and this time he simply walks off, leaving Hotch and Skyler to fend for themselves. They are immediately gobbled up by a fired up Maclin and Young, with Maclin finishing things up with a KIA for the win.

Winner: Eric Young, Steve Maclin, & Jonathan Gresham via Pinfall.

TNA Bound For Glory 2024
TNA X-Division Championship
El Hijo Del Vikingo vs. “Speedball” Mike Bailey (c)

When the show returns, we hear Tom Hannifan say, “And now, looking back at the conclusion of “Speedball” Mike Bailey vs. El Hijo del Vikingo from TNA Bound For Glory.”

Like he says, the show shifts to footage of the final several minutes of the instant classic TNA X-Division Championship bout between the two, which Bailey would go on to win.

Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey via Pinfall to retain the TNA X-Division Championship.

Backstage: Speedball Mountain, The System

When the show returns, we see footage of the Countdown to Bound For Glory Call Your Shot gauntlet of AJ Francis hitting his Down Payment on Trent Seven to eliminate him.

Backstage, Seven is shown dejected when Mike Bailey walks up and gives him a pep talk. It is interrupted when The System come in. Moose talks about wiping TNA Bound For Glory 2024 from the records, because The System don’t lose. Bailey tells Moose we all saw him lose. A match is made between the two for Bailey’s title on next week’s show.

Dani Luna vs. Ash By Elegance

Ash and Luna lock-up and Luna powers Ash down to the mat and taunts her.

Heather gets involved at ringside and actually gets pulled into the ring. Luna chases Ash around the ring and gets hit with a drop toe-hold that sends her crashing face-first into the steel ring steps. Back in the ring, Ash goes for the cover, but only gets a two-count.

Luna takes back over on offense, as Sada Baby is shown in the crowd. Apparently he’s a rap star. Luna hits a big Blue Thunder Bomb for a close two-count. She hits a big suplex and another, prompting Ash to roll out to the floor and call for a time-out as fans chant “One more time!”

Luna tries hoisting Ash over the ropes back into the ring. Iceman holds onto Ash to help and as the referee is dealing with that, Heather By Elegance blasts Luna with the broomstick. Ash follows up with a swanton off the ropes for the victory.

Winner: Ash By Elegance via Pinfall.

Video: Chris Bey Injury Announcement

Another narrated message with an update on Chris Bey airs, with a still image promoting the GoFundMe campaign set up to aid in his recovery costs.

Lei Ying Lee vs. Maggie Moore

When the show returns, the lights in the Impact Zone immediately go out. The theme for Lei Ying Lee hits and out comes the former Xia Li for the next match of the evening on the Halloween episode of TNA Impact.

Already in the ring is her scheduled opponent for tonight, Maggie Moore. Hannifan mentions Moore has some experience under her belt on TNA Xplosion on TNA+. The two lock-up as the bell sounds and Lee immediately takes the offensive lead.

Lee slams Moore head-first into the mat and then connects with a big stomp. She gets Moore in a corner and unloads on her with strikes. Moore tries to mount an offense in the corner moments later, but Lee reverses her and drills her with repeated forearms.

Moore ends up connecting with a pump-kick that caught Lee by surprise. She goes for a suplex to follow-up, but Lee escapes and hits a spinning back-kick to the bread-basket. She hits a double-jump turning cross-body off the middle rope. She hits Thunderstruck after that for the easy win.

Winner: Lei Ying Lee via Pinfall.

After the match, Savannah Evans makes her surprise return for the first time in months. In her first appearance back, she attacks Lee in the corner as she was celebrating. She yells at her, “My time, not yours!” and then chokeslams her and leaves her laying. After this wraps up, the show heads into another commercial break.

Video: Mike Santana

When the show returns, Mike Santana is shown in a direct-to-camera promo package. He talks about being taught you have your word and your balls, and you don’t break them for anyone. Where have I heard that before? Hmm.

He gloats about going through The System one-by-one. He says now it’s time to bring home the TNA World Championship to us. It’s not a matter of where or how, it’s only a matter of when. He stands up and walks off.

Next Week’s Show Card Rundown

A video aired running down the card for next week’s show.

The System (JDC & Eddie Edwards) vs. Joe Hendry & Nic Nemeth

When we return inside the Impact Zone, Frankie Kazarian, back as himself, comes out with his Call Your Shot trophy to join Hannifan and Rehwoldt on special guest commentary for the main event of the evening.

The theme hits to bring out the team of Eddie Edwards and JDC, accompanied by Alisha Edwards, for the final match of this week’s special Halloween episode.

After they settle in the ring, the viral smash hit, “I Believe in Joe Hendry” hits the house speakers and out comes the wildly popular TNA star to a Road Warrior pop. Nic Nemeth’s theme hits next, with Kazarian calls “filthy music,” and out comes the TNA World Champion ready for battle.

Edwards and Hendry kick things off for their respective teams as the bell sounds to get this one started. Edwards takes the early offensive lead over Hendry, pounding him with clubbing blows. This doesn’t last for long, however, as Hendry fights back and hits his stalled suplex spot for a big crowd reaction.

After he goes for the cover and gets a count of two, Edwards fights back and tags in JDC, who comes in and takes over as the show heads into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues. When the show returns, Edwards is beating down Nemeth.

Meanwhile, Kazarian is showing off his Call Your Shot trophy to Hannifan and Rehwoldt at the commentary desk. JDC tags in and picks up where Edwards left off, taking it to Nemeth, as the crowd rallies behind the TNA World Champion in hopes of him making the much-needed tag to Hendry.

JDC looks for a flipping leg-drop off the ropes, but no one is home and he takes a super painful landing. Fans chant “We believe!” as Nemeth crawls to his corner in hopes of making the tag. Edwards tags in for his side and grabs Nemeth’s foot before he can, but Nemeth explodes forward and gets the tag.

Hendry takes the hot tag and comes into the ring with a ton of energy, hitting any-and-everything that moves. He hits a big fall away slam on the larger Edwards and then plays to the crowd. He does the dramatic soap opera turn and then the butt-out stomp-stomp, clap routine.

JDC and Edwards double-team him to try and cut his momentum off, but Hendry pulls off a Road Warrior Hawk by ducking and coming off the ropes with a leaping double clothesline to take them both out. Hendry tags Nemeth back in, who hits Edwards with a FameAsser for a close two-count that is broken up by JDC.

Hendry and Nemeth work together, but Hendry accidentally clotheslines Nemeth. Edwards follows up with a Boston Knee Party for the win.

Winner: The System via Pinfall.

Hannifan mentions it being the first time Nemeth has been pinned in TNA Wrestling in the past six months.

Hendry tries explaining himself to Nemeth afterwards, but Nemeth doesn’t want to hear it. Nemeth leaves the ring. Hendry follows after him and stops him to try again to explain. Nemeth says “everybody gets one” and the two continue a heated-exchange until Nemeth storms off angry once again.

Hendry tries again to catch up to him. Nemeth points and yells at him one more time. He yells, “Got it?” and heads through the entrance tunnel. Hendry looks upset. Hannifan plugs the TNA socials to follow Nemeth through the entrance tunnel and see what happens next.
