Leon Slater made history at TNA Bound for Glory 2026, defeating Nic Nemeth to become the youngest TNA World Champion of all time.

The 22-year-old claimed the title in Sunday’s main event at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida. His victory capped a busy night that saw new champions crowned in all five championship matches, alongside surprise arrivals and three Hall of Fame inductions.

TNA Hall of Fame Ceremony

Amazing Red, Konnan and ODB were inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame before the main card.

Frankie Kazarian inducted Red, while Cruz Montana accepted the honour on Konnan’s behalf. Al Snow and Traci Brooks handled ODB’s induction.

Red also had another announcement to make. During his speech, he revealed that he would compete in the X Division Championship match later that evening.

Ricky Sosa def. Eddie Edwards

Ricky Sosa marked his first TNA pay-per-view singles match with a victory over Eddie Edwards, landing two Headshots to secure the pin.

Alisha Edwards interfered during the contest, hitting Sosa with a DDT on the floor while the referee was distracted. Sosa later delivered a Blue Thunder Bomb to Alisha before putting Eddie away.

After the bell, Edwards shook Sosa’s hand.

Amazing Red def. Fabian Aichner, BDE, Rich Swann, KC Navarro, Ryan Nemeth and Cedric Alexander to win the vacant TNA X Division Championship

Amazing Red followed his Hall of Fame induction with a championship victory roughly an hour later.

Red won the seven-way scramble after a Spanish Fly followed by the Code Red. Frankie Kazarian returned to congratulate him after the match.

The championship had been vacated when Leon Slater exercised Option C, exchanging the X Division title for his opportunity to challenge for the TNA World Championship.

Shayna Baszler and Zoey Serrano def. Kiera Hogan and Allie to win the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship

Shayna Baszler’s TNA debut ended with championship gold.

Zoey Serrano had called for a partner on the previous episode of iMPACT!, and Baszler answered. The pair defeated Kiera Hogan and Allie, with Baszler securing the victory through a chokehold.

Frankie Kazarian won the Call Your Shot Gauntlet

Frankie Kazarian won the Call Your Shot Gauntlet for the third consecutive year, pinning Trey Miguel with a roll-up in the final one-on-one showdown.

Miguel entered at number one after losing on Thursday’s iMPACT!, while Avery Styles made his official TNA in-ring debut at number two. Matthew Rehwoldt also left the commentary desk to compete.

The field included Bear Bronson, Dutch, LJ Cleary, Gabby Forza, AJ Francis, Brian Myers, Mr. Elegance, The Home Town Man and Joe Alonzo.

Kazarian now has the right to challenge for a TNA championship of his choosing at any point over the next year. He announced plans to pursue the TNA World Tag Team Championship with Avery Styles as his partner.

Jason Hotch def. Mustafa Ali (c), John Skyler and Special Agent 0 to win the TNA International Championship

Jason Hotch regained the TNA International Championship in a four-way contest billed as the end of Order 4.

With the former stablemates battling over Mustafa Ali’s title, Hotch reversed Ali’s pin attempt into a roll-up to take the victory.

One of the match’s biggest moments saw Ali deliver a Swanton 450 that sent Special Agent 0 and Tasha Steelz through a table.

Steelz accompanied Special Agent 0, while Mila Moore was in John Skyler’s corner.

Indi Hartwell def. Xia Brookside (c) to win the TNA Knockouts World Championship

Indi Hartwell captured her first TNA championship by defeating Xia Brookside, with Mickie James serving as special guest referee.

Hartwell connected with a top-rope elbow drop and followed it with the Hurts Donut to win the Knockouts World Championship.

Commentary highlighted the personal significance of the victory. Hartwell grew up watching TNA in Australia and owned a replica Knockouts World Championship as a child.

Moose def. Max Caster

Max Caster made his TNA debut by answering Moose’s open challenge, delivering a freestyle before the action began.

Caster attempted the Mic Drop late in the match, but Moose raised his knees to counter the move. Moose then struck with a Spear to secure the win.

syX (Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw) def. The Hardys (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) in a Falls Count Anywhere match

Erick Redbeard made a surprise appearance and helped turn the match in syX’s favour.

Redbeard powerbombed Jeff Hardy through a table before Joseph Sawyer and Samuel Shaw attacked Jeff together. Sawyer then scored the pin.

Earlier, Jeff had delivered a Swanton Bomb from the top of an entrance tunnel through tables.

The defeat came a night after TNA’s Hardy Party in Tampa, but Matt and Jeff will soon have an opportunity to take charge. Santino Marella announced later in the show that The Hardys would run this week’s iMPACT! as TNA celebrates their 35-year anniversary.

“They’re going to make the matches. They’re going to make the decisions. Whatever they want, they got it,” Marella said.

Leon Slater def. Nic Nemeth (c) to win the TNA World Championship

Leon Slater completed his rise to the top of TNA by defeating Nic Nemeth in the main event.

Nemeth survived an initial Swanton 450 and blocked another attempt with his knees. Slater also showed his resilience, kicking out of the Danger Zone and delivering his Big Play dive over the ring post.

The finish came when Slater landed a frog splash followed by a second successful Swanton 450, securing the championship and a place in TNA history.

Nemeth’s second reign ended after he had won the title from Mike Santana at Slammiversary.

Before the match, Slater outlined exactly what the opportunity meant to him in a video package.

“I am one win away from doing everything that I’ve trained for since nine years old, and that is to become the youngest TNA world champion of all time.”

By the end of the night, that childhood ambition had become a reality.

Slater left Tampa as one of five newly crowned champions, joining Amazing Red, Shayna Baszler and Zoey Serrano, Jason Hotch and Indi Hartwell.
