IMPACT Wrestling<\/strong><\/em><\/a> held Bound For Glory<\/strong><\/em> tonight in New York City and it featured some great wrestling, particularly the opening contest between Rich Swann & Willie Mack<\/strong> vs. Ethan Page & Matt Sydal<\/strong> and the 6-man tag between OvE (Sami Callihan, Dave & Jake Crist)<\/strong> vs. Brian Cage, Pentagon Jr.<\/strong> and Fenix<\/strong>. Tessa Blanchard<\/strong> retained her Knockouts title in an excellent hard hitting affair with Taya Valkyrie<\/strong>. But there were some\u00a0huge\u00a0<\/em>moments on the show that left a lot of people ecstatic and for some a little confused.<\/p>\n

Bound For Glory (SPOILERS)<\/h1>\n

ELI DRAKE’S OPEN CHALLENGE WAS…NOT CHRIS JERICHO<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When Eli Drake made his open challenge for New York City a special match that was only open to New Yorkers, dream lists were assembled of who it could be. One such rumored opponent was Chris Jericho. He’d been teasing showing up in IMPACT for weeks leading up and while he’s famously Canadian, he was actually born in New York. But the man who answered Eli Drake’s Open Challenge was…Maryland’s James Ellsworth?<\/p>\n

While Drake finished Ellsworth off in quick time, Eli Drake continued to say the challenge was still open. Ellsworth wasn’t from New York so he wanted “the best, Hall of Fame worthy” not “garbage”. And then out came…2018 IMPACT Hall of Fame inductee Abyss. While the match itself wasn’t bad, the choice seemed underwhelming despite all the possible options. But it was reported on Twitter that a last minute issue prevented the original choice from being available and the decision was made last minute to replace them with Abyss.<\/p>\n

The original plan for Drake's mystery opponent would've blown the roof off. Things happened. A real tough break for all involved. We'll see what they came up with to replace him.<\/p>\n
