The Call Your Shot Gauntlet match at TNA Bound For Glory 2025 lit up the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts, but fans werent thrilled with how it ended and they werent quiet about it either.
TNAs annual spectacle went down on Sunday, October 12, with the intergender Call Your Shot Gauntlet match once again offering the winner a future title shot of their choosing. The rules were clear: survive the battle royal, make it to the final two, and win by pinfall. But this years match took a left turn nobody saw coming.
Li Yng Lee entered the match at #1, followed by Mara Sade. The early minutes were full of surprises Ryan Nemeth entered third, but quickly got jumped by both women. Nic Nemeth entered fourth to back up his brother, and Cedric Alexander hit the ring next in his Bound For Glory debut.
As more names entered including Rich Swann, AJ Francis, Eric Young, Jake Something, and even YouTuber BDE the eliminations piled up. The Rascalz stormed in as a unit, while Dani Luna, Rosemary, and hometown surprise entrants added even more chaos.
One moment drew major heat: Jody Threat was scheduled to enter at #17 but never made it to the ring. Frankie Kazarian ambushed her and stole her spot. Santino Marella came out next, Cobra in hand, and dropped Kazarian before being swiftly tossed out by Nic Nemeth.
Then Matt Cardona entered at #19 to a thunderous ovation and quickly cleared house, only to be double-teamed by the Nemeth Brothers. Mance Warner was the final entrant, taking the match down to the final stretch.
It all came down to Kazarian who was never officially eliminated and Nic Nemeth. After both men appeared to score a pin at the same time, the referees couldnt come to an agreement. In the end, TNA declared them both winners.
That announcement set the crowd off. Fans erupted in boos, chanting bullsht!* as both Kazarian and Nemeth celebrated their dual victory. Social media lit up with fans calling the decision a joke and demanding TNA make it right.
The Call Your Shot Gauntlet may have produced two winners, but it left the audience with zero satisfaction. Now the big question is will both men actually get a title shot, or will TNA be forced to revisit this messy finish?
