Storylines

Wrestlers were portrayed as either heels or face in the scripted events that build tension and culminate into a wrestling match or series of matches.[3]
At the event TNA Wrestling will crown its first ever TNA Women's Knockout Champion in a Gauntlet for the Gold match, separate from the company's previous women's title the Miss TNA Crown Championship[4] the Knockouts title is a 100% wrestling women's championship this time, instead of a tiara that is competed for in different ways every once in a while. Guaranteeing that the TNA Knockouts have an official permanent Knockouts division.[5]
