(August 19, 2022) – The main event for BOUND FOR GLORY© is set: Josh Alexander will defend the IMPACT Wrestling World Championship in a one-on-one showdown against two-time former World Champion and new No.1 contender, Eddie Edwards.
The World Championship main event headlines IMPACT Wrestling’s showcase pay-per-view event of its historic 20th anniversary year. BOUND FOR GLORY© takes place in Albany, New York on Friday, October 7 (8pm ET/ 5pm PT).
Tickets to BOUND FOR GLORY at the Washington Avenue Armory are now on sale here.
Edwards cemented his status at the top contender to Alexander’s World Championship by winning a six-way showdown on last night’s edition of IMPACT! The leader of the cult-like Honor No More faction has reigned as TNA/IMPACT World Champion twice before, pinning Bobby Lashley in 2016 and most recently winning the then-vacated title at Slammiversary 2020.
IMPACT Wrestling Executive Vice-President Scott D’Amore said: “Fans should get ready for one of the most exciting matches in BOUND FOR GLORY history. I’ll say it again – Josh Alexander is the greatest wrestler in the world right now. His performances since reaching World Title level at last year’s BOUND FOR GLORY have been incredible – and he’ll need to deliver again in Albany.”
D’Amore added: “Eddie Edwards is having one of the best years of his great career. He’s arguably better than ever as the leader of Honor No More, and while I don’t necessarily enjoy dealing with Honor No More on a personal level, it is impossible not to recognize what Edwards has done in the ring in 2022. I expect a classic main event from these two come October 7th.”
