The October 12, 2025, edition of Bound for Glory took place at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts, and it delivered on the big matches that mattered most. While not every bout hit perfectly, the event had heart, emotion, and a few moments that reminded fans why TNA’s biggest show of the year still carries weight.
The “One Final Table” match between The Hardy Boyz and Team 3D was pure nostalgia mixed with real emotion. Both teams played the hits early, trading signature spots and near table breaks that kept the crowd loud from bell to bell. The finish saw Matt and Jeff drive Bully Ray through a table for the win, and what followed was one of the night’s most genuine moments — Team 3D removing their boots and passing the torch. It wasn’t just a stunt show; it felt like closure for two teams that helped define tag wrestling.
The main event between Mike Santana and Trick Williams for the TNA World Championship brought the right mix of chaos and storytelling. They brawled into the crowd, teased double finishes, and kept the energy high. Santana fought from underneath for most of the match before finally hitting “Spin the Block” to take the title. The win came off as a career moment — one built on grit more than flash — and the crowd’s reaction sealed it.
Steve Maclin’s clash with Frankie Kazarian for the International Championship was a gritty, physical fight that felt different from the rest of the card. Kazarian pushed the pace early, but Maclin’s aggression and timing gave him the edge, ending it decisively with the KIA. It was simple, sharp storytelling that reminded everyone why Maclin’s run has clicked.
The X-Division title match between Leon Slater and Je’Von Evans was a showcase of pure speed and precision. It didn’t overstay its welcome, and Slater’s clean win kept the division credible. Meanwhile, Kelani Jordan’s defense against Indi Hartwell for the Knockouts Title was solid if unspectacular — a straightforward retention that maintained her momentum.
Bound for Glory 2025 was a show built around emotion and execution. The legends gave fans a proper farewell, Santana’s title win delivered a genuine high, and the rest of the card filled in with solid, professional work. It wasn’t flawless, but it felt meaningful — a night that understood exactly what TNA needed to be.
