Production

[edit]

Background

[edit]

Victory Road was an annual professional wrestling event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling between 2004 and 2012. In 2013, TNA discontinued most of its monthly pay-per-view events in favor of the new pre-recorded One Night Only events.[1] Victory Road would be revived as a "One Night Only" event in 2014[2] and a special edition of Impact's weekly television series in 2017.[3]

On June 14, 2024, at Against All Odds, it was announced that Victory Road would take place on September 13, at the Cleveland Masonic Temple in Cleveland, Ohio.[4] However, on July 22, TNA announced that the event will be moved to the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas.[5]

Storylines

[edit]

The event will feature several professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines. Wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Storylines are produced on TNA's weekly programs, Impact! and Xplosion.[6]

At the end of Hard To Kill, Nic Nemeth made his TNA debut, attacking new TNA World Champion Moose.[7][8] The resulting feud between the two culminated in a title match at Rebellion three months later, where Moose would retain the title. Nemeth continued to feud on and off with Moose and his stable, The System (Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, Alisha Edwards, and Johnny Dango Curtis (JDC)) for the next few months. This led to a six-way elimination match for the TNA World Championship at Slammiversary, where Nemeth would finally capture the title; albeit he didn't pin or submit Moose to do so.[9][10] At Emergence the following month, after The System had competed in an eight-man tag team match, Moose called out Nemeth for his contractual rematch.[11][12] Later in the night after the show went off air, Nemeth, who defended the title in an iron man match with Josh Alexander, accepted the challenge for Victory Road.[13][14]
