11 Biggest Stories From IMPACT's Bound For Glory And What They Mean Going Forward
1. Austin Aries Walks Out Following Main Event Loss
Bound For Glory's most compelling and confusing moment came in its final seconds as Austin Aries stood up and left the ring immediately following the main event. He spit at Johnny Impact and yelled at Don Callis before walking to the back with both middle fingers in the air. Johnny and Taya Valkyrie looked confused as they embraced, as did Moose and Killer Kross who were left at ringside.
The question now is whether Aries' actions were a legitimate outburst or an elaborate storyline. This feud has blurred the lines between reality and fiction from the start with Twitter exchanges, TMZ appearances, and the explosive Hall of Fame brawl all playing a part. Hopefully, it's nothing more than an attempt at generating buzz, though it's entirely possible Aries has been exposed an egotist that's incredibly difficult to work with.
Frankly, nothing about the true nature of Sunday night's conclusion will be immediately clear. Maybe Aries has split from the company or perhaps he'll be back at the next set of television tapings. Many - perhaps even Impact management and their newest World Champion - have been left scratching their heads.
