TNA Wrestling presents Turning Point live on PPV on Sunday, November 15, at 8 PM ET. The show will be taking place at the iMPACT! Zone in Orlando, FL.

Matches Announced For This Show (Keep checking back for more updates)

TNA World Championship: Champion AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Daniels
Events Leading to This Match: In late-05 and early-06, these three men competed against each other in a feud for the X Division Championship that many fans consider to be the greatest feud in the history of the company. Now that AJ has the World Championship, this rivalry has been renewed but this time the stakes are much bigger. To add further intrigue to this match, a mystery man has been assaulting Styles and it appears that he is working in conjunction with Samoa Joe.

Kurt Angle vs. Desmond Wolfe
Events Leading to This Match: Former Ring of Honor star Nigel McGuinness made his TNA debut by going after Kurt Angle. Their first match on TNA:iMPACT! ended with Kurt injuring his troubled neck after getting a clothesline from the newly renamed Desmond Wolfe.

Scott Steiner vs. Bobby Lashley
Events Leading to This Match: For the past several weeks, Scott Steiner has been hitting on Lashley's wife, Kristal. He has gotten physical with her and at one point tried to kidnap her.

TNA Tag Team Championship: Champions The British Invasion vs. The Motor City Machineguns Events Leading to This Match: The Guns earned this title shot by beating Lethal Consequences in an Ultimate X Match.

Six Sides of Steel: Awesome Kong vs. Tara Rules of the Match: A steel cage will surround the ring. I'm not sure how this match can end. The two possibilities are escape of the cage and pin fall/submission inside the cage.
Events Leading to This Match: Awesome Kong has been on a rampage of late attacking the TNA Knockouts after their matches. Tara has been the only Knockout to stand up to Kong. The only weakness in Kong's game is her fear of Tara's pet tarantula.

X Division Championship: Champion Amazing Red vs. Homicide
Events Leading to This Match: Homicide beat Amizing Red in a recent non-title match on TNA:iMPACT!. Homicide then intimidated Don West, the promoter of Amazing Red, and got him to agree to this match.

All Titles on the Line: The Beautiful People vs. ODB, Sarita, and Taylor Wilde
Events Leading to This Match: ODB is the Knockouts Champion while Sarita and Taylor Wilde hold the Knockouts Tag Team Championship. In recent weeks, the Beautiful People have been filming a movie called Meanest Girls and the first two scenes have seen them attack and then humiliate their three opponents in this match.
