At Bound for Glory 2005, Wrestling/KevinNash was supposed to fight (and allegedly put over) Wrestling/JeffJarrett, but was held out due to chest pains that morning. Ultimately, Rhino won a Guantlet for the Gold match, then beat Jarrett to win the title, undergoing a HeelFaceTurn in the process. He would drop the title less than a month later, but he'd remain a face for some time to come.
