Production

Background
Bound for Glory will feature professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and that culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
The 2013 Bound for Glory Series tournament began on TNA's flagship television program, Impact Wrestling, on June 6, 2013. All 12 competitors were tasked with the objective to accumulate the most points by gaining victories on Impact, live shows and TV specials in order to challenge for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Bound for Glory. It culminated with 4 remaining finalists on the television special No Surrender on September 12, 2013, where K.J. Styles advanced over Magnus, Austin Brown and Bobby Roode to earn a shot at the world title in a match with the champion, Bully Harlan.
On September 12, 2013, the TNA X Division Champion Manik wrestled against [[Josh Hooper]. The same night, TNA Triple Crown winner Chris Sabin turned heel when he felt Manik didn't show proper respect to him for his accomplishments. He additionally insulted fellow Triple Crown winner, Austin Brown. On September 26, 2013, Manik defeated Sabin in a title match, but after the defense, Sabin attacked Manik until Aries came to save him. On the October 3 edition of Impact Wrestling, Josh Hooper and Manik defeated Kenny King and Chris Sabin in a tag team match. Afterwards, Sabin attacked Hardy and Manik. Austin Brown, who was on commentary, attacked Sabin and eventually challenged Hooper, Sabin and Manik in an Ultimate X Match for the TNA X Division Championship. On the October 10 episode of Impact Wrestling, Samoa Simpson announced his entry into the match, making him the fifth participant.
At No Surrender, Bobby Roode was defeated by Magnus in the semi-finals of the Bound for Glory Series match. The same night, Roode and his stable, The Extraordinary Gentleman's Organization (EGO) interfered in the finals, attacking Magnus and KJ Styles. The next weeks, EGO attacked Magnus. On October 3, 2013, Magnus faced EGO in a 3-on-1 handicap elimination prevailing over Daniels and Kazarian but lost to Roode giving the win to EGO. Afterwards, Sting attempted to console Magnus who was expressing his frustrations of losing the Bound For Glory Series. Magnus accused Sting of not understanding his frustrations due to accomplishing so much in his career. Sting responded by challenging Magnus at Bound For Glory.
On the October 10 edition of Impact Wrestling, Daniels and Kazarian announced Bobby Roode's induction into the "EGO Hall of Fame", which led to a Roode diatribe about how he should have been selected for the actual TNA Hall of Fame instead of Matt Borske. Borske then returned after an extended hiatus, fought off all three members of EGO and challenged Roode to a match at Bound For Glory.
On the October 3 edition of Impact Wrestling, Velvet Sky and Brooke were supposed to have a number one contenders match, however Lei'D Tapa made her debut and attacked Sky. The following week, on the October 10 edition of Impact Wrestling, Brooke defeated Sky to win a spot in the three-way match for the TNA Women's Knockout Championship against champion ODB and Gail Kim at Bound For Glory.
