Bound for Glory (2015)

The 2015 Bound for Glory was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). It took place on October 4, 2015 at the Cabarrus Arena in Concord, North Carolina. It was the eleventh event in the Bound for Glory chronology and the second and last pay-per-view event of 2015.

Eight matches, one of which was a dark match, took place at the event. In the main event, Matt Hardy defeated defending champion Ethan Carter III and Drew Galloway in a triple threat match to win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, in which Matt's brother,Jeff Hardy, was the special guest referee. In other prominent matches, Gail Kim defeated Awesome Kong to retain the TNA Knockouts Championship, Kurt Angle defeated Eric Young in a Career Threatening match, and in the opening contest, Tigre Uno defeated Andrew Everett, DJZ and Manik in a Fatal four-way match to retain the Impact X Division Championship.

In October 2017, with the launch of the Global Wrestling Network, the event became available to stream on demand.

Bound for Glory featured professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.

In mid–2007 when TNA officials decided to create a women's division in the company, Gail Kim went on to become the first ever TNA Women's Knockout Champion at Bound for Glory (2007). Ever since she won the title, Kim entered a feud with Awesome Kong, which led to a few matches between the two that ended with Kong winning the title and Kim leaving TNA. After leaving TNA as well, Kong returned in 2015 and slowly reconciled her feud with Kim. On the September 16 episode of Impact Wrestling, Kim defeated Kong, Brooke and Lei'D Tapa in a fatal–four-way match to win the TNA Women's Knockout Championship for the fifth time. On the next day, it was announced on Facebook by TNA that Kim would defend the championship against Kong at the event.

On the September 23 episode of Impact Wrestling, it was announced that Tigre Uno would defend the TNA X Division Championship in an Ultimate X match against DJ Z, Manik and Andrew Everett.

On the September 23 episode of Impact Wrestling, after winning a five-way elimination match against Bram, Lashley, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards; Drew Galloway became the number one contender for Ethan Carter III's TNA World Heavyweight Championship. TNA president — Dixie Carter announced that the following week she would announce a special guest referee for that title match. On the September 30 episode of Impact Wrestling, Carter announced that if Galloway and Matt Hardy defeat Ethan Carter III and Tyrus in the main event, Hardy would enter the title match. Hardy and Galloway won, making the main event a triple–threat match. Afterwards, Dixie Carter announced that Jeff Hardy would serve as the special guest referee for that match.

Another match scheduled for the event was a tag team match between The Wolves (Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards) against Brian Myers and Trevor Lee for the TNA World Tag Team Championship. The Wolves won the vacant title back on the July 1 episode of Impact Wrestling, after defeating Austin Aries and Bobby Roode in a 30-minute Iron Man match. They lost the championship to Myers and Lee on September 2 and regained the title on the September 9 episode of Impact Wrestling. This was serving as a rematch clause for Myers and Lee.
