Eight matches were featured on the event's card. In the main event, Sting defeated Jeff Jarrett for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship in a Title vs. Career match. In other prominent matches, Samoa Joe defeated Abyss, Brother Runt and Raven in a Monster's Ball match, Chris Sabin defeated Senshi to become the new Impact X Division Champion, Christian Cage defeated Rhino in an 8 Mile Street Fight, and in the opening contest Austin Starr won a Gauntlet Battle Royal by last eliminating Jay Lethal to become the #1 contender to the X Division Championship.

Bound for Glory was the first TNA pay-per-view event held in a location other than Nashville, Tennessee, or Orlando, Florida, since the first two weekly pay-per-views in June 2002, which were held in Huntsville, Alabama. The Compuware Sports Arena was also the site of the first TNA house show. This was the first pay-per-view to feature a half-hour "Road to" preview airing the night before. This continued for future pay-per-views.[1] This was the first and only time that all of TNA's active championships at the time changed hands in one night.[2]

In October 2017, with the launch of the Global Wrestling Network, the event became available to stream on demand.[3]
