Background

On July 18, 2020, at Slammiversary, it was announced that Bound for Glory would take place on October 24, 2020.

Storylines

The event featured professional wrestling matches that involves different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.

At Slammiversary, Rich Swann returned from injury and Eric Young—who last wrestled in Impact in 2016— made his return to Impact Wrestling in the five-way elimination match for the vacant Impact World Championship. During the match, Swann eliminated Young, who attacked Swann and re-injured his knee with a steel chair. The match and the title was eventually won by Eddie Edwards. On the August 4 episode of Impact!, Swann announced his kayfabe retirement from professional wrestling as a result of the injuries sustained from the attack. However, as he was exiting the ring, Young attacked Swann's leg again, using one of Swann's crutches. On the September 1 episode of Impact!, Young defeated Edwards to win the Impact World Championship for a second time. Two weeks later, Swann pleaded with Impact's executive vice president, Scott D'Amore, in the ring for a match against Young at Bound for Glory. Young then came to the ring and pushed D'Amore to the floor, only to then be attacked by Swann. D'Amore then announced that Young would defend his title against Swann at Bound for Glory. However, during the September 22 episode of Impact!, it was announced that Edwards had invoked his rematch clause and will challenge Young for the title at Victory Road, meaning the winner of that match would defend the title against Swann at Bound for Glory. At Victory Road, Young defeated Edwards to retain the title, thus meaning he will face Swann at Bound for Glory. After the match, Young tried to severely injure Edwards, only for Swann to come to the ring and save him.

At Slammiversary, Deonna Purrazzo defeated Jordynne Grace to win the Impact Knockouts Championship for the first time. On the same night, Kylie Rae won a 12-woman Gauntlet for the Gold match to become the #1 contender for the title. On the September 1 episode of Impact!, Rae and the rest of the members of "Wrestle House" (a segment of the show that Rae was participating in) interrupted a Black Tie Affair that Purrazzo and Kimber Lee were hosting to celebrate Purrazzo's successful title defense against Grace in a 30-minute iron man match during night two of Emergence. During the Black Tie Affair, Rae attacked Lee, causing her and Purrazzo to flee the ring screaming in anger. On the September 22 episode of Impact!, Rae and Susie defeated Purrazzo and Lee in a tag team match and after the match, Purrazzo attacked Susie with an armbar submission hold. Rae then interrupted, causing Purrazzo to flee the ring, and challenged Purrazzo to a title match at Bound for Glory. However, on the following week's episode of Impact!, it was announced during an interview with Purrazzo that she would defend the title against Susie at Victory Road, meaning the winner of the match would defend the title against Rae at Bound for Glory. At Victory Road, Purrazzo defeated Susie to retain the title, meaning she will face Rae at Bound for Glory. However, Rae did not appear at the event (which Impact had not provided an explanation for her absence during the show). Purrazzo issued an open challenge to defend her Impact Knockouts Championship which the returning Su Yung answered.

On August 18, during night one of Emergence, Rohit Raju defeated Chris Bey and TJP in a three-way match to win the Impact X Division Championship for the first time. On the September 15 episode of Impact!, he had Bey, TJP, and Trey compete in a three-way match next week to determine who will face him for the X Division Championship immediately afterwards, which Trey won, but Raju quickly defeated him to retain his title. At Victory Road, he issued an open challenge with the X Division Championship on the line, which was answered by Willie Mack, but he took the count-out loss to retain his title. On the October 6 episode of Impact!, Raju lost to Jordynne Grace, who answered his challenge, but changed the rules so that his title was not up for grabs. Afterwards, D'Amore told Raju that he would be defending the title at Bound for Glory in a six-way scramble that involves Bey, Grace, TJP, Trey, and Mack.

At Slammiversary, Moose defeated Tommy Dreamer in an Old School Rules match to retain the unsanctioned TNA World Heavyweight Championship. On the following episode of Impact!, after successfully defending the title against Fallah Bahh, he was attacked by EC3, who made his return to Impact since 2018. During night one of Emergence on August 18, Moose defeated Trey to retain his title but was soon attacked by EC3, who stole the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. The following weeks saw EC3 continually playing mind games with Moose and threatening to get rid of the title if he didn't find him. At Victory Road, after being distracted by him in his match against Trey, Moose went looking for EC3 and found the TNA World Heavyweight Championship but was attacked from behind by him, who announced he was going to hold a funeral for the title. On the October 6 episode of Impact!, he conducted the funeral by dropping the title off a bridge as way to "free Moose." Three days later, Impact announced that EC3 will face Moose at Bound for Glory in an undisclosed location. On the October 13 episode of Impact!, EC3 fooled Moose into thinking he had gotten rid of the title, and the latter confronted him at the bridge where they brawled and he reclaimed the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.
