IMPACT Wrestling Bound For Glory 2021 is easily the most anticipated year for the promotion's fans. The sold-out pay-per-view is stacked from top to bottom, with several surprises advertised.
Seven matches have been announced for the main show, with all the titles on the line. The pre-show will feature an inter-gender six-way match to determine the inaugural IMPACT Wrestling Digital Media Champion.
IMPACT Wrestling often uses its significant events to introduce new names and signings to its audience. However those won't be the only surprises to take place on the show.
In this article, we will take a look at five possible twists that might take place at Bound For Glory 2021.
#5. Big AEW names like Adam Cole and Britt Baker at IMPACT Wrestling Bound For Glory 2021
There are several ways this can be achieved. Adam Cole is rumored to face Christian Cage at Full Gear in November following weeks of feuding with Jurassic Express and Captain Charisma. What better way to sow the seeds than Panama City Playboy costing Christian the IMPACT Wrestling World Championship?
The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion will face Josh Alexander in the much-anticipated clash. Cole's interference will be a great way to protect Christian Cage if he loses to the Walking Weapon.
Another possibility could be AEW Women's Champion Britt Baker turning up at Bound For Glory to confront Deonna Purrazzo. The Virtuosa will face Mickie James for the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Championship.
The honest life dentist showing up in IMPACT Wrestling to come face to face with Deonna Purrazzo would be a highly memorable moment and start the build-up to a long-awaited dream match between two of the best women in the professional wrestling business.
#4. Deonna Purrazzo loses the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Championship at Bound For Glory 2021
Following Deonna Purrazzo's WWE release, IMPACT Wrestling immediately positioned her as a top female star. Since capturing the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Championship, she has been simply unstoppable. Hence Virtuosa's loss at Bound For Glory would be a huge shock.
Few women in the industry have helped the growth of women's wrestling as much as Mickie James. Hence, she might be the one to dethrone Deonna Purrazzo as the champion finally.
As mentioned previously, AEW Women's Champion Britt Baker can debut in IMPACT Wrestling to cost Purrazzo her title, setting up for a dream clash.
Moreover, if a match were to happen, neither company would want to drop their champion's title. The IMPACT Wrestling World Championship is on an AEW star and IMPACT Wrestling would not want their top women's title in AEW either.
After losing the Knockouts Title to Mickie James, Deonna Purrazzo challenging Britt Baker for the AEW Women's Championship will be a straightforward story to write.
#3. El Phantasmo proves his loyalty to the Bullet Club in the IMPACT Wrestling World Tag Team Championship match
Chris Bey and Hikuleo of the Bullet Club will take on FinJuice and the reigning champions Good Brothers for the IMPACT Wrestling World Tag Team Championship at Bound For Glory.
In the absence of Jay White, the Bullet Club members will be at a severe disadvantage against two more experienced teams. However, Fellow Bullet Club member El Phantasmo will be in triple threat action for the IMPACT Wrestling X-Division Championship during the show.
It would be a pleasant surprise to see the NJPW star turn up to help his stablemates win and become the new Tag Team Champions.
#2. Braun Strowman makes his IMPACT Wrestling debut at Bound For Glory
Braun Strowman was reportedly spotted with IMPACT Wrestling executive Scott D'Amore in Detroit, hinting at the Monster Among Men debuting at Bound For Glory.
Braun Strowman, aka Adam Scherr, is arguably the biggest free agent in wrestling right now and would undoubtedly bring eyes to IMPACT Wrestling.
With 15 members yet to be announced for the Call Your Shot Gauntlet match, it would be the perfect place to introduce Braun Strowman as a main event star right away.
#1. Bray Wyatt joins IMPACT Wrestling to lead Decay
Bray Wyatt, aka Windham Rotunda, is another prominent free agent in professional wrestling. His surprise release from WWE has presented other promotions like IMPACT Wrestling and AEW with a chance to sign him.
While AEW might be the more prominent promotion, IMPACT Wrestling suits Wyatt more. Decay is likely to lose the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Tag Team Championship to the IInspiration at Bound For Glory. In their moment of despair following the loss, who better to lead them out of the darkness than Bray Wyatt/The Fiend?
Unlike AEW, the Nashville-based promotion often dives into the supernatural aspects of professional wrestling. This could be a prime factor in the Eater of the Worlds debuting for IMPACT Wrestling at Bound For Glory.
