Production

Background

In 2013, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling discontinued monthly pay-per-view events in favor of the pre-recorded One Night Only events. Genesis was produced as a PPV from 2005 to 2013, but in 2014, Genesis was televised as an Impact Wrestling television special until 2018. It returned in 2020 as a monthly special for Impact Plus, with the event taking place on January 9, 2021 at Skyway Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. [1] [2]

On October 26, 2024, at Bound for Glory, Santino Marella announced that Genesis would return on January 19, 2025, at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas. [3]

Storylines

The event will feature professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. [4]

At Bound for Glory, Nic Nemeth retained the TNA World Championship over Joe Hendry after an intervention from John Layfield. [5] [6] Since then, Hendry vowed to work his way back to a world title opportunity, albeit with his relationship with Nemeth being further strained due to miscommunications. Two months later at Final Resolution, Hendry defeated Josh Alexander, Mike Santana, and Steve Maclin in a four-way match to earn a TNA World Championship match at Genesis. Later that night, Nemeth retained the title over A. J. Francis, [7] [8] making a rematch between himself and Hendry official for Genesis. [9]
