X-Division three-way title match finalized for Impact Bound for Glory

With their biggest pay-per-view of the year looming, some new matches were confirmed for Bound for Glory on Thursday’s Impact Wrestling.

El Phantasmo was confirmed as the final entrant into the three-way match for the vacant X-Division title following his victory over Willie Mack and Rohit Raju Thursday. He will take on Trey Miguel and Steve Maclin at BFG to crown a new champion, ending the title’s 37-day vacancy after Josh Alexander relinquished it.

Heath was shown officially signing his Impact contract following his near year-long injury hiatus. As a favor, he asked Impact VP Scott D’Amore if he would grant him a tag team match at the pay-per-view with himself teaming up with Rhino to take on Violent By Design. D’Amore agreed, but noted that Rhino hadn’t officially accepted and that Heath could be left without a partner in the match.

Four new participants were added to the 20-man Call Your Shot gauntlet match as Ace Austin and Madman Fulton entered themselves in while W. Morrissey won a 20-man battle royal Thursday and will enter last. The runner-up in the match was Chris Sabin, who will now enter the gauntlet match first.

Next Thursday’s show will see either Bullet Club (Hikuleo and Chris Bey) take on FinJuice with the winners challenging Tag Team Champions the Good Brothers at BFG.
