Frankie Kazarian has won the Call Your Shot Gauntlet at TNA Bound For Glory for a third consecutive year. The event took place on October 11, 2026, according to Ringside News and a TNA Wrestling post cited by Fightful. He finished the match by pinning Trey Miguel after the two were left as the last competitors standing.
How the gauntlet unfolded
Miguel and Styles opened the match. The sources disagree on who Styles is: Ringside News calls him AJ Styles, while Fightful and Wrestling Inc call him Avery Styles. Wrestling Inc describes Avery Styles as Kazarian's protege, and Fightful notes it was his first TNA match.
Bear Bronson entered third and quickly ran through both men, Wrestling Inc reported. Kazarian came in fourth, followed by Dutch, LJ Cleary and Gabby Forza. Forza speared Kazarian and sent Cleary out for the first elimination, per Wrestling Inc.
The field produced a few notable moments. Commentator Matthew Rehwoldt left the announce desk to join the match, but Heather By Elegance threw him out. Jada Stone, the 19th entrant, came in late after Ben Bishop shoved her aside and claimed the opportunity for himself. Stone then eliminated Bishop. Joe Alonzo was the final entrant, and Ringside News reported that he was eliminated after a failed attempt at a Styles Clash.
Elsewhere, Ringside News said M By Elegance removed both Heather and Harley Hudson, and that Forza later hoisted Bronson onto her shoulders to eliminate him.
Final four and finish
Styles, Miguel, Kazarian and AJ Francis made up the last four. Francis had been the biggest man left, and Wrestling Inc reported that he eliminated Styles and chokeslammed Kazarian. When he looked to do the same to Miguel, he was hit with a Canadian Destroyer, after which Miguel sent him over the top rope.
Fightful noted that the stipulation required the last two to compete under normal rules, meaning a pinfall or submission was needed. Miguel hit a superkick, and Kazarian answered with a slingshot cutter, according to Wrestling Inc. Ringside News said Miguel had earlier lost his footing on a springboard moonsault attempt. The two traded roll-up attempts until Kazarian held Miguel's shoulders down for the three-count.
What the win means
Kazarian now holds a future championship match of his choosing, Wrestling Inc reported. Last year's gauntlet had two co-winners, Kazarian and Nic Nemeth. Wrestling Inc said Nemeth used his trophy to get a TNA World Championship match at the 2026 Slammiversary event, and that he is set to defend the title against Leon Slater in the Bound For Glory main event.
The sources do not say which title Kazarian will pursue or when he will cash in. With three straight gauntlet wins, the choice of target is the next question facing him.
