The Call Your Shot Gauntlet at IMPACT Bound For Glory 2020 gave the winner of this contest a title shot of their choosing at anytime. In last year's edition, Eddie Edwards was victorious and went on to win the IMPACT World Championship at Slammiversary this year. This match featured some stories continuing and surprise returns sprinkled in.

We saw former IMPACT X-Division standout Shawn Daivari, former WWE Superstar Hornswoggle and IMPACT Wrestling legend Cowboy James Storm all come out in this match. Heading into Bound For Glory 2020, the leading story for this gauntlet was the ongoing drama of Heath trying to get a job in IMPACT Wrestling. Rhino risked it all by putting up his contract with the company for a chance for his friend to get the deal of his desire with a win for either man in this contest.

Even after Heath was eliminated following an injury and the Man Beast coming in at No. 1, Rhino was able to conquer Sami Callihan in the final two with a Gore to win the Call Your Shot Gauntlet. This victory allows Rhino to challenge for any title of his choosing, but more importantly earned Heath the contract that he wanted originally from Scott D'Amore.

This narrative at Bound For Glory 2020 showed that sometimes friendship can overcome insurmountable odds. This also was a nice nod to Rhino after his iconic win of the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship 15 years earlier at the first Bound For Glory PPV.
