Turning Point 2021 was a professional wrestling event that was produced by Impact Wrestling. It took place on November 20, 2021 at Sam's Town Live in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Production

Background

Turning Point was a pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Impact Wrestling (then known as 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. It was revived as a monthly special for Impact Plus in 2019. On October 4, 2021, Impact announced that Turning Point would be held at Sam's Town Live in Sunrise Manor, Nevada on November 20, 2021.

Storylines

The event featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.

On the November 4 episode of Impact, Laredo Kid won a #1 contender's four-way match against Steve Maclin, Rohit Raju, and Black Taurus, earning him a match against Trey Miguel for the Impact X Division Championship at Turning Point.

At Bound for Glory, The IInspiration (Cassie Lee and Jessie McKay) made their Impact debut and defeated Decay (Havok and Rosemary) to win the Impact Knockouts Tag Team Championship. On the November 4 episode of Impact, Decay confronted the champions on the set of Madison Rayne's "Locker Room Talk" to invoke their rematch clause, and will face The IInspiration at Turning Point.

At Knockouts Knockdown, Mercedes Martinez defeated Tasha Steelz in a tournament final to become the next challenger to the Impact Knockouts Championship. At Bound for Glory, Mickie James defeated Deonna Purrazzo to capture her fourth Knockouts Championship. On the November 4, 2021 episode of Impact!, after James made her first defense against longtime rival Madison Rayne, Martinez confronted James and challenged her for the title at Turning Point.

On the October 21 episode of Impact!, FinJuice (David Finlay and Juice Robinson) and Bullet Club (Chris Bey and Hikuleo) wrestled in a number one contender's match, where the winners would face Impact World Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson) at Bound for Glory. However, the match ended in a double pinfall, and in a decision made later in the night, Impact Executive Vice President Scott D'Amore made the tag title match a three-way at the pay-per-view. At the event, Anderson stole a pin on Bey after Robinson hit him with a frog splash, allowing for The Good Brothers to retain the titles. On the November 4 episode of Impact!, FinJuice and The Good Brothers had their title match end in a no contest, when Bullet Club (Bey, Hikuleo, and El Phantasmo) ran down and attacked both teams with crotch punches. The following week on Impact!, FinJuice and Bullet Club - represented by Bey and Phantasmo - had another number one contender's match, which was won by Bullet Club, who would now face The Good Brothers for the World Tag Team Championship at Turning Point.

On the November 11 episode of Impact!, Eddie Edwards defeated Matt Cardona and W. Morrissey in a three-way match to become the number one contender for the Impact World Championship and set up a match at Turning Point against the defending champion Moose.
