Initially Impact Wrestling, then known as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), produced weekly pay-per-view shows which operated as the company's main source of revenue, in place of monthly pay-per-view events used by other promotions. These shows took place mostly at the Tennessee State Fairground Sports Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, nicknamed the "TNA Asylum". The name "Homecoming" comes from their return to the Fairground for the first time since 2010. [2]
The event featured professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. [3] [4]

A Monster's Ball match is a professional wrestling, hardcore match type that originated in and is primarily staged by Impact Wrestling. The key premise of the Monster's Ball is that all contenders are (kayfabe) sequestered alone in a locked room without light, food, or water for 24 hours before the match. This stipulation is meant to induce extreme feelings of aggression in the competitors. Once released, the wrestlers fight one another in a no disqualification match, with the usage of weapons encouraged. Victory can be achieved by pinfall or submission, with the match ending as soon as one wrestler is pinned or submits.
