Sonny Kiss makes Impact Wrestling debut at Bound for Glory

At Bound for Glory on Saturday night, a former AEW wrestler made their surprise Impact Wrestling debut.

Sonny Kiss appeared as one of the entrants in the Call Your Shot gauntlet match at Bound for Glory. Kiss entered the 20-person match as the ninth entrant. She was eliminated by Matt Cardona and Brian Myers.

Kiss’ appearance in the match included a dance-off with Bully Ray.

This September, Tony Khan confirmed that he did not renew Kiss’ AEW contract. Kiss had been with the promotion since its launch in 2019. Khan said he really likes Kiss, but it’s hard to get everyone on television with such a big roster.

Kiss issued a statement following her AEW departure saying that she’s ready for her next chapter and wants to continue to break barriers down.

Cardona and Juventud Guerrera were other surprise participants in the Call Your Shot gauntlet. The match came down to Jordynne Grace and Bully Ray. After hitting the Grace Driver, Grace pinned Bully Ray to get the victory.

The Call Your Shot winner receives a title shot of their choosing whenever they want it. And it didn’t take long for Grace to reveal her plans. Grace declared that she’ll be challenging for the Knockouts Championship at Impact’s Hard to Kill pay-per-view in January 2024.

Trinity currently holds the Knockouts Championship. She retained against Mickie James at Bound for Glory.
