Lashley shows to start the show with an interview in the ring with Jeremy Borash. Lashley says he warned everyone that 2016 would be the year he took over the wrestling industry. Lashley talks about how he crushed EC3 and how there is no match for Bound For Glory, and if there was a match, his opponent would feel the same fate as EC3. He also entertains the thought of Jeremy Borash as his opponent, but calls JB "a joke." All of a sudden, Grado appears. Lashley can't tell if Grado or JB is the bigger joke, but Grado says JB is a bigger joke than he'll ever be, and he says that he is no joke and that Lashley can be beaten. He calls Lashley a coward, but Lashley says he can crush anybody on the roster and proves that by decimating Grado. Lashley then says nobody on the TNA roster can beat him. Suddenly, Moose shows up and stares Lashley down before hitting him with a few clotheslines. Lashley leaves the ring, and Moose says that he's going to whoop his ass as the people want to see them fight, and if he has to drag Lashley to the ring to get a fight, he'll do it, too.
Aron Rex says he wasn't sure if he'd be in a wrestling ring two months ago, but now he's ready to adapt to anything in his way. He tells Drew Galloway that he's been handed opportunity after opportunity and complains about it, while he has had to adapt and create opportunities for himself. He tells Galloway that he will learn the difference between them, and soon.
Lashley turns down Moose's challenge, telling him he doesn't just show up and demand opportunities and that he should work for them, and that fighting him is bad for his health.
Aron Rex beats Trevor Lee by pinfall to continue to the next round of the Impact Grand Championship Tournament.
Maria says that tonight she finds out who she faces at Bound For Glory, but she will beat that opponent as she is always successful and always gets what she wants.
Matt Hardy finds Vanguard-1 stuck in a tree, and pleas to "the seven deities" to bring Vanguard-1 back. After we see some memories involving Senor Benjamin, Vanguard-1 is back.
Maria Kanellis-Bennett and Allie are in the ring. She calls Allie "stupid and common, just like all of you," and says she plans to ruin Bound For Glory in revenge for having her Knockouts Diision leadership position ruined by inducting Gail Kim into the Hall of Fame tonight. Gail Kim shows up, and we see a video package of Maria attacking Gail that she calls "highlights." Maria continues to mock Gail and gives her a picture of Maria with the Knockouts Title. Allie calls Gail "the best female wrestler ever" and hands Gail a gift, but Maria destroys it. Gail Kim tells Maria that she has lost her mind, and Maria says she can't wait until she no longer has to see Gail Kim's face again. Dixie Carter shows up and tells Maria that she has no power at this time and that Gail Kim will be inducted at Bound For Glory, then announces that there is a Knockouts gauntlet match tonight for a shot at the Knockouts Championship, and Gail Kim is in the match. Gail tells Maria that she will win the gauntlet match and whip Maria's ass at Bound For Glory.
Braxton Sutter beats Rockstar Spud in an Exposed Turnbuckle Empty Arena Match...and busts his mouth open.
Vanguard-1 finds Senor Benjamin tied up in a shack. Matt Hardy frees him, then tells him to prepare the Hardy estate for war at Bound For Glory.
Moose laughs at Lashley rejecting his challenging, saying that they were destined to fight. He asks Lashley if he will accept his challenge or run like a little bitch.
Brother Nero, Matt Hardy and Reby Sky are in the ring. Matt Hardy talks about "Delete or Decay," and says that Decay (Rosemary, Abyss, Crazzy Steve) committed blasphemy against Senor Benjamin and attempted to kidnap his son, and for that they must be sentenced to the darkness of deletion. He plans to take the TNA World Tag Team Championships from them and delete them. Decay's music play, but they are nowhere to be seen. Rosemary is near the hard cam and says that Maxel deserves a family that is not broken. Abyss is on the ramp and says that the tag titles belong to Decay. Crazzy Steve is in the crowd, and he offers The Broken Hardys their own destruction. Matt says that death is only the beginning, as their vessels may perish but their souls will live forever. He tells Decay to bring it on, as it will only make them stronger. Brother Nero says they may be broken, but they have survived, and Decay will be rendered obsolete. Matt tthen challenges Decay to "The Great War." Decay accept the challenge, and Rosemary says that they will become Maxel's family. After Rosemary makes fun of the Hardy family and calls Reby Sky an unfit mother, the Hardy family attack Decay and quickly come out on top.
"The Miracle" Mike Bennett tells Lashley that Moose called him "a little bitch." Lashley, thinking that Bennett wants him to fight Moose now so Bennett won't have to face him later, still decides to beat up Moose...then maybe, he'll beat up Bennett.
Allie is replaced as Entrant #2 in the Knockout Gauntlet Match by Maria Kannellis-Bennett with someone "taller and more intelligent than her," and that someone is the debuting Laurel Van Ness. (Laurel Van Ness is Chelsea Green, who was on WWE Tough Enough last year.)
Gail Kim wins a Knockouts Gauntlet Match to face Maria for the TNA Knockouts Championship at Bound For Glory.
Eddie Edwards beats Mahabali Shera with a single leg Boston Crab to continue to the next round of the Impact Grand Championship Tournament.
Before the next match, Lashley tells Moose he's not only a dominator but a businessman, and if they want to go at it, they should do it at Bound For Glory. Moose loves the idea, but says he can't wait and attacks Lashley, starting a brawl. "The Miracle" Mike Bennett shows up and attacks Moose from behind, and Ethan Carter III makes his return soon after as Moose is ganged up on by both Lashley and Bennett. The show ends with EC3 hitting both Lashley and Bennett with a double clothesline.
