TNA Crowns Two Call Your Shot Gauntlet Winners, Elijah Returns To Thwart Cash In Attempt
TNA Bound for Glory has come and gone, but not without a bit of controversy. Every year as part of the event, TNA holds a “Call Your Shot Gauntlet” match where the winners have to go over the top rope and their feet hit the floor on the outside to be eliminated. The Gauntlet consists of twenty stars, both male and female, and the winner procures a trophy they get to carry around with them all year until they decide to cash it in. The winner can cash in for a shot at any respective title or their choosing. Frankie Kazarian won the Gauntlet last year.
This time, Frankie wasn’t previously advertised for the match, but took out Jody Threat when she came down to the ring and rendered her unable to perform. Santino Marella allowed Frankie to take Threats spot in the match.
On Sunday, Nic Nemeth suplexed Frankie off the top rope and immediately pulled his legs up for the pin as Frankie attempted the same thing to Nic as both referees counted the pin for each star.
Santino Marella was still at ringside and announced that for the first time in the history of the Gauntlet, there will be two winners. Neither man is happy with that ending.
This is Frankie’s second Call Your Shot Gauntlet victory, and Nic’s first. After Mike Santana won the TNA World Title at the end of the night, former World Champion Nic Nemeth came out and was headed to the ring with the Call Your Shot Trophy. About halfway to the ring, the lights in the arena went out and suddenly a guitar riff plays. When they came back on, Elijah was standing behind Nic Nemeth and laid him out with a guitar shot to the head. Elijah tipped his hat to Santana as he thanked Elijah.
Frankie would try to cash in moments later, but Santana turned around and was ready for him. Santana laid Frankie out with SPIN THE BLOCK and then had TNA President Carlos Silva place the TNA World Title belt over his shoulder.
Neither competitor was officially able to cash in their shot. Who will they seek their next opportunity? Will both go after the same title, or will they choose different titles next time? We’ll have to continue tuning in for those answers.
