The reason TNA initially decided not to promote a main event for the upcoming Bound For Glory pay-per-view in Japan was due to Bobby Lashley’s MMA return.
The feeling in the company was they shouldn’t push a Lashley world title match for their biggest show of the year until they find out the result of his Bellator MMA fight. If he had lost, they were planning to take the title off of him and go a different direction.
