After being forced to vacate the Knockouts World Championship due to injury,
Mickie James made her triumphant return in the huge 10-Knockout tag team match at IMPACT 1000. As she celebrated with her team, Mickie’s eyes caught the Knockouts World Title belt that was hanging over the shoulder of current title-holder,
Trinity. One week later, Trinity toppled Gisele Shaw in a breathtaking main event but when
Savannah Evans and
Jai Vidal attacked her after the bell, it was James who came to Trinity’s aid. In that moment, James revealed that she would be invoking her contractually-obligated rematch clause at Bound For Glory. James has gone head to head with some of the greatest talent in all of professional wrestling – but she’s never faced Trinity. Both Knockouts share nothing but respect for one another and only one can stand tall as the Knockouts World Champion!
After dethroning
Lio Rush to become the new X-Division Champion at IMPACT 1000,
Chris Sabin successfully retained his title over a game Alan Angels less than two weeks later. Angels pulled out all the stops but ultimately, it wasn’t enough to overcome the record-setting 10-time champ. When the dust had settled, Sabin was confronted with a video message, stating that one of New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s biggest stars, KENTA, would be making his IMPACT return at Bound For Glory. Later in the night, we learned that KENTA will be challenging Sabin for the X-Division Title in a first-time-ever match. Who will leave the biggest event of the year as X-Division Champion? We find out at Bound For Glory.
