## Production
### Background

Turning Point was a pay-per-view (PPV) 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 pre-recorded One Night Only events. The event would be held as a special episode of Impact! in 2013, 2015, 2016, and has been a monthly special for Impact Plus in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023. On July 11, 2024, it was announced that Turning Point would take place on November 29 as a part of that year's WrestleCade, at the Benton Convention Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

### Storylines

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.
On the October 31 episode of Impact!, The System (Eddie Edwards and JDC) defeated Joe Hendry and TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth in a tag team match; miscommunication between the latter team allowing Edwards to pin Nemeth. The following week, TNA officially announced that Edwards would challenge Nemeth for the TNA World Championship at Turning Point.
At Bound for Glory, Masha Slamovich defeated Jordynne Grace to win the TNA Knockouts World Championship. Two weeks later on Impact!, Alisha Edwards – Slamovich's former tag team partner – came out to the arena and berated her former partner. Slamovich would confront Edwards shortly after, challenging her to a No Disqualification match for the Knockouts World Championship for next week's show. Grace then interrupted the two, revealing that she'd invoked her rematch clause for Turning Point and would face either Slamovich or Edwards for the title at the event. The following week, Slamovich defeated Edwards to defend her title, officially making her champion against Grace at Turning Point, who she challenged to a two out of three falls match for the title.
On the November 14 Impact!, TNA announced the return of the TNA Turkey Bowl, a Thanksgiving tradition consisting of a multi-person match where the loser would be forced to wear a turkey suit. Joe Hendry, Eric Young, Hammerstone, Brian Myers, TNA Digital Media Champion and International Heavyweight Wrestling Champion PCO, and John Skyler were announced as participants.
At Bound for Glory, Josh Alexander defeated Steve Maclin after a low blow and binding his hands with plastic handcuffs. Since then, Maclin had been obsessed with trying to get back at Alexander, even at the cost of losing matches against The Northern Armory (Alexander, Judas Icarus, and Travis Williams). On November 19, TNA announced a rematch between Alexander and Maclin for Turning Point in a No Disqualification match. The following week, TNA also announced that the rest of the Northern Armory would be banned from ringside during the match.
On the July 4 Impact!, Frankie Kazarian defeated Mike Santana as part of the "Road to Slammiversary" series to qualify for the TNA World Championship match at Slammiversary; JDC attacking Santana on the outside and giving Kazarian the victory via countout. Several months later on November 21, Santana cut a promo in the ring about his goals of winning the world title, before being confronted by Kazarian, the winner of the Call Your Shot Gauntlet at Bound for Glory. The two would argue over who would become the next champion, ending with Santana challenging Kazarian to a match at Turning Point. TNA would later make the match official.
On the November 21 episode of Impact!, Laredo Kid and Leon Slater defeated The System (JDC and TNA X Division Champion Moose), with Slater pinning JDC for the win. The System would then attack Slater after the match before being chased off by a chair-wielding Laredo Kid. TNA then announced that Moose would defend the X Division Championship against Laredo Kid at Turning Point.
