Last night on Impact Wrestling, Johnny Impact revealed he is the next to be granted a world title match against Austin Aries. The match will take place on October 14th in New York City as part of Bound For Glory. The match comes at a significant time for Johnny. His season of Survivor premieres less than 3 weeks before the pay-per-view.
BREAKING: The main event of Bound For Glory is OFFICIAL. @AustinAries will defend the IMPACT World Championship against the Mayor of Slamtown @TheRealMorrison! #BoundForGlory

Johnny Impact Interrupts Austin Aries, Moose, and Killer Kross
So far, Aries’ run as champion has seen him take on the likes of Alberto El Patron, Pentagon, Fenix, and most recently, Eddie Edwards.
Killer Kross aligned with Aries and cost Edwards his shot at the World Championship. Last week, Moose joined in on the attack as well, giving Aries two of the largest men on Impact’s roster watching his back.
There was concern at the end of last night’s episode that Johnny won’t be able to make it to Bound For Glory, however. The trio of Aries, Moose, and Kross wrapped his head around a chair and gave him a con-chair-to around the steel post.
The Impact roster will be pretty busy in October. After Bound For Glory, they hold 2 nights of tapings in the same venue and then set sail with Chris Jericho just 11 days later.
Will @TheRealMorrison even make it to Bound For Glory? @AustinAries, @TheMooseNation and @realKILLERkross left him laying just like they did Eddie Edwards last week. #IMPACTonPop pic.twitter.com/Pf3T2uPSgx
