Story summary

On Sunday at the Bound for Glory event, Leon Slater, aged 22, will compete against Nic Nemeth for the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) World Championship. Bound for Glory is TNA's most significant pay-per-view of the year, where historical wrestling moments often take place. If Slater wins, he would become the youngest ever TNA world champion. Before their match, the Director of Authority Santino Marella imposed a rule prohibiting either wrestler from touching each other beforehand. Slater confidently declared that this rule is not protecting him but rather Nemeth, as he plans to defeat Nemeth and claim his title in just a couple of days.
