Ricky Sosa appeared to have the biggest reason to celebrate after scoring a key victory on TNA Thursday Night iMPACT! on Sept. 17. The celebration didn’t last long, though, as Eddie Edwards and The System had other plans for the young star.

Sosa and Elijah teamed up against The System’s Edwards and Cedric Alexander. Sosa secured the victory by pinning Alexander, but the win quickly turned into a beating when Edwards and the rest of The System attacked both men.

Edwards then took matters a step further, hitting Sosa with a package piledriver. The attack left Sosa down while Edwards made it clear the issue wasn’t going to end when the show went off the air.

Edwards challenged Sosa to a singles match at TNA Bound For Glory on Oct. 11. The bout has since been added to the event’s card, giving Sosa his first singles match on the main card of a TNA pay-per-view.

The confrontation adds another chapter to the growing rivalry between the two. Sosa previously teamed with Fabian Aichner, K.C. Navarro, and Jada Stone against Edwards and The System at Lockdown. He also competed against Eric Young in a singles match on the Countdown to Slammiversary.

Edwards brings considerably more pay-per-view singles experience into the matchup. He defeated JDC in his retirement match at Genesis but later suffered losses to Mike Santana at Rebellion and Moose at Slammiversary.



Now, Sosa gets an opportunity to answer Edwards inside the ring rather than being at the end of a receiving end of a piledriver. The Bound For Glory showdown could prove to be an important test for Sosa as he steps into his first singles match on a TNA pay-per-view main card.

The current Bound For Glory card also features Nic Nemeth defending the TNA World Championship against Leon Slater and a six-way scramble for the X Division Championship.
