Frankie Kazarian And Nic Nemeth Share Controversial Victory In TNA Bound For Glory’s Call Your Shot Gauntlet – For the first time in TNA history, two competitors were declared co-winners of the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Match, as Frankie Kazarian and Nic Nemeth shared the victory at Bound for Glory 2025 in Lowell, Massachusetts.

The match’s dramatic conclusion came when both men’s shoulders were down after a chaotic double pinfall. A referee bump earlier in the bout led to two officials being in the ring, and both simultaneously counted to three. Confusion filled the arena as the referees conferred with TNA authority figure Santino Marella. Moments later, Marella announced that both Kazarian and Nemeth would be recognized as winners, granting each a future championship match of their choosing.

Tension immediately flared between the two as they argued over who truly deserved the victory, even while being presented with the Call Your Shot trophy. The animosity continued backstage when Nemeth confronted Kazarian, taunting him for never winning the TNA World Championship. Kazarian responded by teasing that he might change that before the night was over.

Kazarian’s road to the finale was controversial from the start. He wasn’t officially part of the match but ambushed Jody Threat during her entrance and took her place in the bout. After arguing with Santino Marella, the TNA Director of Authority inserted himself into the match and briefly eliminated Kazarian with his trademark Cobra strike. However, since Kazarian was never officially eliminated, he re-entered the ring later after Matt Cardona was thrown out, setting the stage for the disputed finish against Nemeth.

The full list of entrants featured a mix of TNA stars and surprise participants, including Lei Ying Lee, Mara Sade, Ryan Nemeth, Nic Nemeth, Cedric Alexander, Rich Swann, AJ Francis, streamer BDE, Myron Reed, Zachary Wentz, Trey Miguel, Dani Luna, Eric Young, Jake Something, Rosemary, Home Town Man, Zack Clayton (with Little Guido), Frankie Kazarian, Santino Marella, Matt Cardona, and Mance Warner.
