Storylines

Bound for Glory 2007 featured ten professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either heels or face in the scripted events that build tension and culminate into a wrestling match or series of matches. [3]

At the event TNA Wrestling will crown its first ever TNA Women's Knockout Champion in a Gauntlet for the Gold match, separate from the company's previous women's title the Miss TNA Crown Championship [4] the Knockouts title is a 100% wrestling women's championship this time, instead of a tiara that is competed for in different ways every once in a while. Guaranteeing that the TNA Knockouts have an official permanent Knockouts division. [5]
