TNA is currently working on its card for Bound For Glory in October and the company is also reportedly interested in contacting Alberto Del Rio for a potential deal.

Wrestlingheadlines.com reports that TNA's John Gaburick was trying to contact Del Rio this past week about possibly inking him to a deal.

Del Rio was fired from the WWE after he allegedly slapped a social media worker backstage for a racist remark that was aimed at Del Rio's Hispanic heritage. After Del Rio confronted the employee and asked him to apologize, Del Rio slapped him very hard after he refused to, according to reports.

Del Rio was originally slated to be suspended until the WWE, possibly fearing a lawsuit from the employee, opted to fire Del Rio. Del Rio then painted the WWE as a racist company and was able to have his no-compete clause in the America overturned, so he could very well work for TNA if he wants to.

Del Rio has surfaced in Mexico's AAA promotion under the name El Patron and recently appeared at TripleMania XXII on Aug. 17, so it is doubtful he'll jump over to TNA though anything is possible.

The company is looking to build toward its big Bound For Glory event at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan, though Dixie Carter likely can't attend the event on Oct. 12 due to the fact that she sustained injuries from Bully Ray putting her through a table on Impact Wrestling.

According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, The Great Muta and Tajiri vs. Sanada and James Storm is being talked about as the main event for Bound For Glory in Japan, but there is no word if that will actually air as the final match on the pay-per-view broadcast.

The card is reportedly not finalized, though it is expected to be announced next week. The current plan reportedly is for there to be three TNA matches, two Wrestle-1 matches and four matches featuring talent from both promotions. The matches with strictly Wrestle-1 competitors may not air on the actual pay-per-view.

Matches discussed for the TNA side reportedly include Low Ki vs. Samoa Joe for the X Division Championship and The Wolves vs. Team 3D for the TNA Tag Team Championships, if the company can get the departed Bully Ray to return.

During its negotiations to find a new network with reports that Spike TV will drop Impact Wrestling at the end of the year, TNA is not currently renewing any upper-tier contracts until a new television deal is in place, which led to Bully Ray departing when his pact was up.

There were rumors that Bully Ray gave the impression that he wasn't coming back when he announced he was leaving the company, but there is reportedly some belief that he may return to the organization at next week's television tapings in Bethlehem, Pa.

The company was looking to make the tag match The Hardys vs. The Wolves if Bully Ray didn't return, but there is concern that Jeff Hardy may not be allowed in Japan due to his past felony drug conviction.

It remains to be seen how the card will shape up for Bound For Glory next month, but the wheels are in motion for the creative direction of the show.
