TNA just added another name to the Call Your Shot Gauntlet, and this one comes with a major first. During the TNA iMPACT episode of September 24, 2026, it was revealed backstage that Avery Styles will make his official TNA in-ring debut at Bound For Glory.
Styles appeared in a backstage segment with Frankie Kazarian, where the announcement was made that he will enter the Call Your Shot Gauntlet on October 11. Kazarian wasn’t about to let Styles have all the attention either, because he also confirmed that he is entering the match.
That gives the gauntlet another interesting wrinkle, especially with Styles making his first official TNA appearance inside the ring on one of the company’s biggest shows of the year. The winner receives the Call Your Shot trophy and earns the right to challenge for any TNA championship whenever they choose.
Bear Bronson had already confirmed earlier in the night that he would be part of the match. Styles and Kazarian now join him as TNA continues filling out the field heading into Bound For Glory.
The updated announced participants for the Call Your Shot Gauntlet are:
- Bear Bronson
- Avery Styles
- Frankie Kazarian
Styles won’t exactly be getting an easy introduction to TNA competition, because his debut now comes with a potential championship opportunity attached to it. If he somehow survives the entire gauntlet, his first TNA match could immediately put him in position to chase any title in the company.
