One of the original plans for TNA Bound for Glory was to have Team 3D vs. The Wolves at the pay-per-view for the tag titles. The Wolves were taken off the event and replaced by Tommy Dreamer and Abyss.
Abyss was originally going to face Bram, but bookers decided to make the change since Team 3D was in the country for the Hall of Fame ceremony. Bram was also pulled from the show.
Samoa Joe vs. Low Ki was the original X-Division title match. Kaz Hayashi from Wrestle-1 was added to the match because Joe is working through an injury, and Hayashi would be able to compensate for any issues in the match if need be.
The original plan was for MVP vs. Ryota Hama, which was changed to MVP vs. Kazma Sakamoto. Hama will now face Ethan Carter III. This was done to add more TNA vs. Wrestle-1 matches for the event.
Some Wrestle-1 talents were not booked for the event because Wrestle-1 did not want to alienate American PPV buyers by making it look like a total Wrestle-1 event.
