Josh Mathews interviews "The Miracle" Mike Bennett and Moose, and it becomes clear that these two don't like each other.

Drew Galloway is in the ring. He calls the Impact Grand Championship tournament the real main event of Bound For Glory. Aron Rex shows up, and Galloway tells them they are both part of history. Galloway talks about how he was the savior of TNA, and mockingly thanks the fans. Aron Rex tells Galloway to get another tagline, and that he's not the only reason TNA is the best wrestling show on television. Galloway mentions his accomplishments up until this point, and says he will make the Grand Championship look good. Aron Rex says that at Bound For Glory, it won't go to the judges as he will be judge, jury and executioner. Galloway tells Aron there can be only one as both men grab the Grand Championship...and it's him. Both men brawl, and security try to stop a brawl only for Aron Rex to fall victim to a piledriver.

Tyrus - who won the Bound For Gold match last year but never got to cash in - is interviewed when Eli Drake interrupts, asking "The Fixer" to fix the problem of him not being bound for a championship. Tyrus tells Eli that he's the problem, and the ass whipping will be on the house.
