#1 Rich Swann gives us a happy ending to Bound For Glory 2020
The biggest rivalry heading into Bound For Glory 2020 was by far the main event with Eric Young defending the IMPACT World Championship against Rich Swann. With both men returning in the Slammiversary main event Five Way Match for the gold, it was Swann who pinned Young to eliminate him from that match. After, EY attacked and re-injured the leg of Swann to put his career in jeopardy again.
Swann threatened to retire until Young attacked him once again. Eric followed this with defeating Eddie Edwards for the IMPACT World title and terrorizing the promotion. Swann begged and was granted by Scott D'Amore this opportunity at the biggest show of the year, Bound For Glory 2020.

This Bound For Glory main event was deeply rooted in hatred and showcased that with a fight between the two men. Swann came out with babyface fire before EY focused on an opening by attacking his opponent's neck. Although the champion dominated the challenger for most of this encounter, Rich reversed the tree of woe and hit a turnaround stunner. He followed that with a springboard cutter and a beautiful Phoenix Splash to win the match and become the new IMPACT Wrestling World Champion.
This was a thrilling closing match that provided us with a jovial conclusion to Bound For Glory 2020. Rich Swann overcame a real-life, career-threatening injury and the vile attacks by Eric Young to show resilience through it all. He overcame the odds much like we spoke about the company doing the same, so this gives IMPACT Wrestling a champion that fully represents the image of the company. Bound For Glory 2020 proved to be a promotion-defining event, and Swann's victory was the perfect ending.
