TNA Wrestling announced that its biggest event of the year, Bound For Glory 2025, will take place on Sunday, October 12, at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts, at 7 PM EST live on TNA+. This marks the first TNA live event in Lowell since 2013. It’s also the first TNA pay-per-view in the city since the legendary 2008 Lockdown event. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the show, which was created in 2005.
Bound For Glory will take place during a red-hot period for TNA of sold-out crowds, social media buzz, critical acclaim, and a hugely successful multi-year partnership with WWE that has recently turned into a cold war.
The Bound For Glory announcement was made at TNA Slammiversary PPV. The epic show saw NXT star Trick Williams retain the TNA World Championship, Leon Slater become the youngest TNA X-Division Champion in history, and a special appearance by wrestling legend AJ Styles.
TNA Bound for Glory 2025 Card
As of today, September 29, six matches are officially made, but the NXT Invasion event could change a few things on the Path to Bound For Glory. Currently, NXT holds the two major TNA titles, and it could end up being more.
On the September 4 episode of TNA iMPACT, the TNA Director of Authority, Santino Marella, made official the main event of Bound For Glory. Mike Santana and Trick Williams will meet one-on-one with the TNA World Title up for grabs.
ONE. LAST. TIME.

The Big Changes
Since Slammiversary, we know that Team 3D (D-Von and Bubba Ray) will face the Hardys one last time. On iMPACT, the final negotiation between the teams led to The Hardys and Team 3D upping the ante. This bout will now be a Tables Match with The Hardys’ TNA World Tag Team Championship on the line. If Jeff and Matt Hardy were winning the NXT Tag Team titles at NXT Invasion, no word on whether the belts would be on the line.
The #1 contender for the TNA Knockouts World Championship, Indi Hartwell, will not face Ash by Elegance. At TNA Victory Road, Ash by Elegance announced she was retiring from in-ring competition and forfeited the title. This led to a 10-Knockout Battle Royal, where the final two competitors would face off later in the night for the vacant Knockouts World Title.
In the end, it came down to Léi Ying Lee and NXT’s Kelani Jordan. With Indi Hartwell as special guest referee, Kelani Jordan triumphed over Léi Ying Lee to become the new TNA Knockouts World Champion. After Jacy Jayne, Jordan is the second NXT star to hold the TNA Knockouts World title.

The New Matches
The X-Division Championship will be on the line at TNA Bound For Glory in a Dream match. At Victory Road, Leon Slater outlasted Myron Reed to retain the title in a breathtaking main event. Then, TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella revealed Slater’s next challenger at Bound For Glory: NXT’s Je’Von Evans. Evans would appear on the big screen to address this dream match between two of the most exciting and promising young stars in professional wrestling today.
What is the most dominant faction in TNA Wrestling today? Order 4, or the System? For weeks, the two factions have been engaged in a violent battle. They have done everything in their power to achieve their ultimate goal: total domination. Tensions boiled over when a wall-to-wall brawl erupted during a match between Mustafa Ali and Brian Myers.

In an attempt to settle the score once and for all, TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella announced the Hardcore War, a match in which anything can and probably will happen. At TNA Victory Road, Mustafa Ali defeated Moose to win the advantage for his team in this 5-vs-5 Hardcore War.
The career-altering Call Your Shot Gauntlet match returns at Bound For Glory, with TNA’s brightest stars facing off for a championship opportunity of their choosing, anytime, anywhere. Recently on iMPACT!, Mance Warner eliminated Léi Ying Lee in a Qualifier Battle Royal, earning the coveted #20 spot in the Call Your Shot Gauntlet. By virtue of being the last competitor eliminated, Lee must now enter the match in the disadvantageous #1 spot.
