TNA Bound For Glory preview and predictions: Will A.J. Styles retain the TNA Title and end Sting's BFG undefeated streak? Can Matt Morgan overcome Kurt Angle? Who will reign supreme in a TNA vs. MMA match between Samoa Joe and Bobby Lashley?

The following predictions are made without any inside knowledge of the match finishes. I am guessing just like you are.
A.J. Styles vs. Sting for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship: I like the fact that TNA really put the focus on Styles during the buildup, although they probably didn’t have a choice. Nonetheless, Styles is one of the stars that TNA can build around for a number of years. I know Sting has won at this event for three consecutive years, but the streak ends here. Styles will get a great match out of Sting and retain his title.
Kurt Angle vs. Matt Morgan: First of all, I hope Morgan really is okay and go without difficulty. I think match is going to be very good because Angle is very good and Morgan is very hungry. I just think both guys are going to do everything they can to tear the house down. I predict this will be the longest match of the night, and when it’s all said and done, Angle will get the win and move into a feud with Styles for the World Title.
Bobby Lashley vs. Samoa Joe: This might be the toughest match for me to pick, just because both guys are in the middle of huge pushes (or so it seems). Joe has been getting the best of Lashley on television, but I don’t think that necessarily means anything regarding this match. That being said, I think Lashley wins the match cleanly and Joe fans will be disappointed. I could see Joe attacking Lashley after the match.
Mick Foley vs. Abyss in a Monster’s Ball match: This match will include everything an Abyss match usually includes. I think Foley will work hard here to put Abyss over and Abyss will look good in scoring the win over Foley in a brutal, bloody battle.
Amazing Red vs. D’Angelo Dinero vs. Suicide vs. Daniels vs. Homicide for the TNA X Division Championship in an Ultimate X match: I sincerely hope this match comes close to stealing the show as opposed to being a throwaway spot fest. A legitimate case could be made for predicting a win for any of the five, but since Red was paired with Don West, I am going to predict Red retaining his championship.
Scott Steiner and Booker T vs. Team 3D vs. The British Invasion vs. Beer Money in a full metal mayhem match for the TNA and IWGP World Tag Team Championships: I think the only question here is which team will win the belts from Steiner and Booker. I’m not 100% sure if the winner will win both sets of belts. Assuming that is the case, or even if it isn’t, I’ll say Beer Money wins both sets of titles here. They are the best team in TNA and they should have the belts.
Kevin Nash vs. Hernandez vs. Eric Young for the TNA Legends Championship: Are we at the point where the swerve is the most predictable outcome? I mean, Hernandez helping Eric Young win the title is the most logical prediction. Thus, I will go in another direction and predict Hernandez remaining a babyface and winning the title.
ODB vs. Awesome Kong vs. Tara for the TNA Knockouts Championship: I think this will be a very a good match, first and foremost. Secondly, four months ago I would have gone with Tara here, but it seems the bloom is off of her rose, so I will say Kong finally wins back what should be hers for a very long time, the TNA Women’s Title.
Taylor Wilde and Sarita vs. The Beautiful People for the TNA Women’s Tag Team Championships: I’m tempted to predict the babyfaces retaining here, but instead, I will go with the title change. TBP is not the same without Angelina Love, but they still have way more heat than the makeshift team of Wilde and Sarita.
Jason Powell will be covering the show as it airs tonight and will follow up with an audio recap. Feel free to follow along with him whether or not you are watching the broadcast.
