Frankie Ghazarian wins TNA’s Call Your Shot gauntlet for the third year in a row. Bound For Glory. The former TNA World Champion entered the 2025 match in fourth place, later defeating Trey Miguel in a singles match as the final two.
Miguel and Avery Styles, Ghazaryan’s protégé, started the action with arm drags and punches. Styles took another shot when The System’s Bear Bronson joined the fray from third. Bronson immediately ran over Miguel and Styles with a clothesline before delivering a Bossman Slam and a leg drop respectively.
The next line of applicants was as follows: Ghazarian (4), Donch (5), L.J. Cleary (6), Gabby Forza (7). Forza got off to a hot start, spearing Ghazarian and tossing Cleary out of the ring for the first gloves off. In a surprise moment, TNA commentator Matthew Rehvoldt left the commentary table to get in on the action himself, only to be thrown out of the ring by Heather By Elegance. Vincent, Harley Hudson and AJ Francis appeared within minutes as each active challenger immediately attempted to eliminate the big man.
The rest of the Call Your Shot Gauntlet field included Elijah, M by Elegance, The Home Town Man, Brian Myers, Mr. Elegance and Elayna Black. M notably eliminated Hudson and Heather, her tag team partner, in one fell swoop. He was then tackled to the floor by Forza. Jada Stone, the 19th entrant, made a late entrance after Ben Bishop ambushed and announced her TNA arrival. He retaliated by ejecting Bishop shortly after. Joe Alonzo rounded out the field as #20.
Stiles, Francis, Ghazarian and Miguel made it to the final four. Francis eliminated Styles, then chokeslammed Ghazarian. However, when he tried to hand one over to Miguel as well, he took a Canadian fighter jet instead. Miguel then tossed Francis out of the ring.
As the final two, Ghazaryan and Miguel went to the singles match. In the last moments, Miguel hit Ghazaryan with a superkick, to which Ghazaryan responded with a slingshot. An exchange ensued until Ghazarian held Miguel’s shoulders down for the three count.
With his victory, Ghazaryan earned the future championship match of his choice. Last year’s Call Your Shot Gauntlet featured two co-writers: Ghazarian and Nick Nemeth. The latter cashed in his trophy in the TNA World Championship match at the 2026 Slammiversary event. He will defend the world title against Leon Slater in the BFG main event.
