Final Resolution featured eightprofessional wrestling matchesthat involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds andstorylines.Wrestlers portrayedvillains,heroes,orless distinguishable charactersin the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[5]
The main angle entering Final Resolution involvedBobby Roodegoing after defending championJeff Hardyfor theTNA World Heavyweight Championship.AtTurning Point,James StormdefeatedA.J. Stylesand Bobby Roode in a3-Way matchto earn his shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.[6]On the followingImpact Wrestlingepisode during Storm's speech about succeeding through adversity, Roode interrupted and upset his rival, Storm, as part of a manipulative way for Storm to place his title shot on the line in a match between them later that night. As a result, Roode prevailed over Storm using an exposed turnbuckle and a roll-up to snatch the victory and essentially assume Storm's title shot.[7]
Another continuous feud being featured at the event is betweenA.J. StylesandChristopher Daniels.At Turning Point, Styles suffered a huge loss in a stipulated 3-Way contender's match, where the wrestler pinned would be excommunicated from the TNA World Heavyweight Championship scene until Bound for Glory 2013.[6]On the November 15 edition ofImpact Wrestling,with emotions running high, Styles expressed feelings over an upsetting year having to deal with allegations thrown at him as well as coming close to winning the2012 Bound for Glory Series.Daniels andKazarian,who had set up and blown such allegations out of proportion to defame and distract Styles, took the chance to mock and insult him calling Styles a "failure". Styles, knowing how many times he fought and beat Daniels, eventually challenged Daniels to one last match to decide who the better man is. Daniels, proud of his momentum with Kazarian throughout the year, later agreed to the match.[7]
The Knockouts match heading into Final Resolution isMickie JamesversusTNA Women's Knockout ChampionTara.On the November 15 edition ofImpact Wrestling,Mickie James made her return to the company and defeatedGail Kim,ODB,Madison Rayne,andMiss Tessmacherin a No. 1 contender's Battle Royal to gain a shot at the TNA Knockout Championship.[7]
