Alexander and Shelley had a fantastic match last year even when no one bought Shelley as a challenger. With this dynamic it’s going to be a real banger. And it’ll have to be…with Ospreay and Bailey capable of what they are going on earlier in the show.

Mickie vs Trinity was teased and Rascalz vs Austin and Bey has been saved for months…and Bey has a tag title shot now. If those two become official…that’s a hell of a top half of a PPV.

{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}
Spoilers for the possible full card. Based on a couple things announced on night 1 of their Memphis tapings and where things look to be heading for other stuff.


Mickie James challenged Trinity



KENTA was announced for the show. Announcement came with Sabin in the ring so that might be the X title match…but it didn’t specifically say that



Deonna aligned with Tasha Steelz and they appear to be MK Ultra’s challengers



There is a big cluster of guys feuding that looks like it could lead to a multiperson match of some kind. Maybe a Monsters Ball given who is involved. Moose and Maclin are fighting over Moose’s briefcase for a world title shot since Maclin got it and Moose stole it during the match. Myers is in there obviously. Rhino is coming after Maclin for injuring him.  PCO is involved too. Sounded like they might mesh all of that together somehow.



Outside of my expectation for ABC vs Rascalz it looks like everyone else will be in the annual Call your shot Battle Royal. We could end up with two people who can cash in a title match at any time at the same time. Which I don’t recall being done before.

….


TLDR…I think BFG may end up with



Shelley vs Alexander for the title


Ospreay vs Bailey


Mickie vs Trinity for the KO title


Sabin vs KENTA for the X title


Rascalz vs Austin and Bey for the tag titles


Deonna and Tasha vs MK Ultra for the KO tag titles


Some multiman match with the Moose/Maclin/PCO/Rhino group.  Maybe for the title case


Call your shot Battle Royal with everyone else.





Those seemed like the directions from the first night of tapings anyway.

Mickie vs Trinity for the Knockouts title and Sabin vs KENTA for the X title were made official

[JoDaNa1281]

Along with Trinity vs. Mickie James & Chris Sabin vs. KENTA being made official, we also found out that Mike Tenay & Don West will be inducted into the Impact Hall of Fame by Scott D'Amore, while Traci Brooks will be inducted by Gail Kim!

[JoDaNa1281]

During IMPACT!, we not only found out that MK Ultra will defend the Impact Knockouts World Tag Team Championships against Tasha Steelz & Deonna Purrazzo at Bound For Glory, but we also know that The Rascalz will defend the Impact World Tag Team Championships next week, against Rich Swann & Sami Callihan...and the winner of that match, will defend those titles against ABC, at Bound For Glory!

[JoDaNa1281]

After the events of the last several weeks, a 4-Way Monster's Ball Match has been added to Bound For Glory! It'll be PCO vs. Rhino vs. Steve Maclin vs. Moose!

Purrazzo and Steelz have no shot against the best tag team in the world, MK Ultra.

Crazzy Steve vs. Tommy Dreamer in a Fork on a Pole match is going to happen, too, right?

They're facing each other at the BFG Fallout tapings...though, it should totally be a Fork on a Pole match.

I’ve got my FITE order in.  I wish I lived close enough to have made a weekend out of it.  Seeing Ospreay/Bailey, Alexander/Shelley and ABC/Rascalz (and MK Ultra) on Saturday and rolling over for a Sunday with Ospreay/Alexander, Shelley/Gresham and Rascalz/luchadores six man would have been an amazing weekend.  But I don’t like to fly and I’ve gotten too old to try and make those drives.  Not to mention taking the time off from work.

Ospreay pulling double duty on meet and greets. Guy is going to put in a ton of work this week.
