Production
Background
In 2004, Impact Wrestling (then known as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling) discontinued weekly pay-per-view events after the introduction of its television show Impact! and later began producing monthly pay-per-view events. Turning Point was produced as a PPV from 2004 until 2012, when the promotion discontinued monthly pay-per-views in 2013 in favor of the new pre-recorded One Night Only events. On October 13, 2019, Impact Wrestling announced on its website that Turning Point would return as a monthly special for Impact Plus and would be taking place on November 9.[1][2]
Storylines
At Bound for Glory, Brian Cage defeated Sami Callihan in a no disqualification match to retain the Impact World Championship.[3] During This is IMPACT!, a special episode of Impact's weekly television series, Cage was being interviewed by Josh Matthews and Scott D'Amore on his successful title defense against Callihan. Callihan interrupted Cage and demanded a rematch, showing footage of oVe members hauning Cage's house with his family inside. Cage would accept Callihan's challenge for a steel cage match on IMPACT's premiere on AXS TV.[4] Callihan defeated Cage in the steel cage match to win the Impact World Championship.[5] On October 30, Impact Wrestling announced that Cage was invoking his rematch clause for the World Championship against Callihan at Turning Point.[6]
At Bound for Glory, Rob Van Dam turned on Rhino during their three-way match against The North and the team of Rich Swann and Willie Mack for the World Tag Team Championship.[3] This led to RVD turn into a villain and explained his betrayal on the October 29 episode of Impact Wrestling that no one stole his finishing move which led to Rhino confronting him and challenging him to a match at Turning Point.[5]
At Bound for Glory, Ace Austin won a five-man ladder match to win the X Division Championship, setting up a title match between Austin and former champion Jake Crist for the X Division Championship at Turning Point.[3]
