Frankie Kazarian and Nic Nemeth were declared co-winners of the 20-person Call Your Shot Gauntlet match at TNA Bound for Glory on Sunday night.

The unprecedented result means both men have earned a championship match of their choosing at any time over the next calendar year.

The gauntlet match, which began with Léi Yǐng Lee and Mara Sadé, featured a field of 20 competitors.

Entrants included Ryan Nemeth, Cedric Alexander, Rich Swann, AJ Francis, Travis Williams, BDE, The Rascalz (Trey Miguel, Myron Reed & Zachary Wentz), Dani Luna, Eric Young, Jake Something, Rosemary, The Home Town Man, Zack Clayton, Jody Threat, Santino Marella, Matt Cardona, and Mance Warner.

Several notable moments occurred during the match. Frankie Kazarian entered by attacking the #17 entrant, Jody Threat, and stealing her spot in the gauntlet.

Director of Authority Santino Marella entered at #18, used his Cobra strike on Kazarian, and was then immediately eliminated by Nic Nemeth.

The final entrant, Mance Warner, brought a steel chair to the ring and used it on several opponents.

The final portion of the match saw Matt Cardona left in the ring with the Nemeth brothers. Nic Nemeth inadvertently eliminated his brother Ryan with a superkick intended for Cardona.

Shortly after, interference from Steph De Lander allowed Nic to eliminate Cardona, seemingly winning the match.

However, since Kazarian had been sent through the ropes and not over the top, he was still a legal participant and re-entered the ring to face Nemeth.

The match concluded when both men’s shoulders were pinned to the mat for a three-count by two different referees. Santino Marella then made the official decision to declare both men co-winners, which was met with boos from the live audience.
