[5] Wrestlers competing for TNA were: Samoa Joe, Team 3D (Bully Ray and Devon), MVP, James Storm, The Great Sanada, Ethan Carter III, Low Ki, Abyss, Manik, Tommy Dreamer, Havok and Velvet Sky.

[7] Wrestlers competing for W-1 were: Tajiri, Kaz Hayashi, Ryota Hama, Kazma Sakamoto, Minoru Tanaka, Andy Wu, El Hijo del Pantera, Yusuke Kodama, The Great Muta and Jiro Kuroshio.

In June 2014, Storm would begin a program where he would confront Sanada backstage, berating his mentor The Great Muta, while slapping him in the face as a way to break him down, multiple weeks in a row.

On the July 24th, 2014 edition of Impact, Storm would confront The Great Muta, calling him a fraud, and proclaim himself to be "The Legend" (which in the following weeks replaced his longtime nickname of "The Cowboy").

However, due to already taped episodes of Impact Wrestling set to air after the event, neither Joe or Havok were the actual champions at the time of Bound for Glory.
