For the third year in a row, Frankie Kazarian has won TNA's Call Your Shot gauntlet at Bound For Glory. The former TNA World Champion entered the 2025 field from the number four spot, later defeating Trey Miguel in a singles match as the final two.

Miguel and Avery Styles, Kazarian's protege, kicked off the action with an exchange of arm drags and dropkicks. Styles landed another dropkick as The System's Bear Bronson then joined the fray from the third position. Bronson immediately ran over Miguel and Styles with a clothesline before delivering a Bossman Slam and leg drop, respectively.

The next series of entrants were as follows: Kazarian (4), Dutch (5), LJ Cleary (6), and Gabby Forza (7). Forza got off to a hot start by spearing Kazarian and dumping Cleary out of the ring for the gauntlet's first elimination. In a surprise moment, TNA commentator Matthew Rehwoldt left the commentary table to get in on the action himself, only to be dumped out of the ring by Heather By Elegance. Vincent, Harley Hudson, and AJ Francis emerged in the minutes after, with every active competitor instantly attempting to eliminate the big man.

The remaining Call Your Shot Gauntlet field included Elijah, M by Elegance, The Home Town Man, Brian Myers, Mr. Elegance, and Elayna Black. M notably eliminated Hudson and Heather, her tag team partner, in one fell swoop. She then found herself on the floor, courtesy of Forza. Jada Stone, the 19th entrant, entered on a delay after Ben Bishop ambushed and announced his TNA arrival. She secured revenge by removing Bishop from the match shortly after. Joe Alonzo rounded out the field as #20.

Styles, Francis, Kazarian, and Miguel emerged as the final four. Francis eliminated Styles, then chokeslammed Kazarian. When he sought to deliver one to Miguel as well, however, he took a Canadian Destroyer instead. Miguel subsequently dumped Francis out of the ring.

As the final two, Kazarian and Miguel transitioned into singles competition. In the final moments, Miguel superkicked Kazarian, to which Kazarian answered with a slingshot cutter. An exchange of roll-ups followed until Kazarian kept Miguel's shoulders down for a three count.

With his win, Kazarian has earned a future championship match of his choosing. Last year's Call Your Shot Gauntlet produced two co-winners: Kazarian and Nic Nemeth. The latter cashed in his trophy for a TNA World Championship match at the 2026 Slammiversary event. He will defend the world title against Leon Slater in the BFG main event.
