Genesis was an annual

TNA Wrestling. The name was originally used on May 9, 2003, for a two-hour DirecTV special that highlighted early moments in TNA’s history.^[1]

Genesis was actually not amongst the original names used by TNA for its first twelve pay-per-view events, but ultimately was added to the rotation as the thirteenth pay-per-view name during a time of name shuffling on the part of TNA Management. All events but three have been held in the

Pop

History

The inaugural Genesis event took place on November 13, 2005, at the TNA Impact! Zone in Orlando, Florida.^[3] Since the fourth Genesis event, which took place on January 11, 2009, at the Bojangles' Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina, TNA begun to present Genesis on January moving forwards, instead of November as the first three Genesis events.^[4] In 2017, after Anthem Sports & Entertainment purchased a majority stake of TNA, Anthem re-branded TNA as Impact Wrestling.^[5] The 12th Genesis event, which took place on January 9, 2021, at the Skyway Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, was in front of no crowd attendance, as Impact had to present majority of their events behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.^[6]
