Aftermath

The World Heavyweight Championship tournament continued after Turning Point as Magnus defeated Kurt Angle in a last man standing match and Jeff Hardy defeated Bobby Roode in a tables match in the semifinals on the December 5 episode of Impact Wrestling. At Final Resolution, Magnus defeated Jeff Hardy in a Dixieland match to win the tournament and his first World Heavyweight Championship, and thus turning into a villainous character by joining Dixie Carter's alliance.[3]

On the November 28 episode of Impact Wrestling, Mr. Anderson held a funeral for Aces & Eights faction. The feud between Anderson and Bully Ray would continue after Ray attacked Anderson during his entrance during the Feast or Fired match and executed a piledriver on Anderson on the stage. The two continued their feud as Ray defeated Anderson in a no disqualification match at Genesis.[4]

Dissension began between James Storm and Gunner as Storm confronted Gunner on throwing in the towel for Storm during his match against Bobby Roode, which led to Storm's loss. On the December 12 episode of Impact Wrestling, Storm and Gunner competed in a Feast or Fired match, where Gunner prevented Storm from retrieving the briefcase and retrieved it himself, which was revealed to contain a future TNA World Heavyweight Championship opportunity. This led to Gunner defending his briefcase against Storm on the December 26 episode of Impact Wrestling, which ended in a double count-out. The two would then compete in a Briefcase on a Pole match at Genesis, where Gunner retained the contract.

Samuel Shaw made his in-ring debut as a member of the TNA roster on the January 2, 2014 episode of Impact Wrestling, where he defeated
