Chicago area to host Impact Wrestling Bound for Glory 2019
Impact Wrestling is headed to the Chicago area for its next pay-per-view.
During Slammiversary XVII, it was announced that Bound for Glory 2019 will take place in Chicago on Sunday, October 20. The venue wasn’t officially revealed, but Impact has a show listed on the event schedule for The Odeum in Villa Park, Illinois on that date.
This will be Impact’s fourth PPV of the year. Nashville, Tennessee hosted Homecoming in January, Rebellion took place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in April, and Slammiversary was held in Dallas, Texas this Sunday. The company’s United We Stand iPPV was also held in Rahway, New Jersey in April.
Bound for Glory 2018 took place at the Melrose Ballroom in Queens, New York last October. In what ended up being Austin Aries’ last match for the promotion, Johnny Impact won the World Championship from Aries in the main event. Johnny went on to lose the title to Brian Cage at Rebellion.
The last time Bound for Glory was in the Chicago area, the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois hosted the PPV in 2008.
