With TNA Bound for Glory 2025 now in the books, that PPV set a North American attendance record for the Anthem promotion.

For 12 years, TNA's highest-attended North American event was Lockdown 2013, where 7,200 fans were at San Antonio's Alamodome. However, that record was broken this past summer for TNA Slammiversary, which had an attendance of 7,623. Now, though, Bound for Glory, as announced last night by Chris Bey, has topped that as an official crowd of 7,794 crammed into the Tsongas Center last night.

TNA's all-time attendance record still stands at 8,100 for a January 2009 house show at London's Wembley Arena, headlined by Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Jarrett and also featuring the likes of Samoa Joe, Abyss, Scott Steiner, Nick Aldis, and Beer Money. But as TNA continues to tout its success across the past year or more, Bound for Glory has now become the highest attended North American event in the promotion's 23-year history.

As for the action of Bound for Glory, the two biggest talking points coming out of the PPV were Mike Santana finally bringing the TNA World Championship back home after defeating Trick Williams in the main event, and Team 3D hanging up their boots following a tables match loss to the Hardys for both the TNA Tag Team Titles and the NXT Tag Team Titles. Post-match, Bully Ray and Devon handed over their boots to Matt and Jeff Hardy, as all four men embraced to bring an end to the legendary career of the Dudleys.
