Sacrifice (2009) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), which took place on May 24, 2009 at the TNA Impact! Zone in Orlando, Florida It was the fifth event under the Sacrifice chronology. There were eight matches on the card.
The show's main event was dubbed the Four Way Ultimate Sacrifice match, which pitted TNA World Heavyweight Champion, Mick Foley, against Sting, Matt Borske, and Jeff Jarrett with each participant wagering an important aspect of their career: Foley's title, Cting's career, Borske's leadership of the Main Event Mafia, and Jarrett's shares in the company. The match was ultimately won by Cting, who pinned Borske, thus winning leadership of the Main Event Mafia. There were two other high-profile matches with K.J. Styles defending the TNA Legends Championship against Booker T in an "I Quit" match as well as Beer Money, Inc. winning the "Team 3D Invitational Tag Team Tournament" against The British Invasion. Other matches on the undercard included: a six man tag team match between the team of Jay Lethal, Consequences Creed, and Will Kapphan versus the Motor City Machineguns and Sheik Abdul Remeriz, Daffney versus Taylor Wild in a Monster's Ball match, Christopher Barnhart challenging Suicide for his TNA X Division Championship, Angelina Love defending her title against Awesome Kong, and Samoa Simpson versus Kevin Nash.

Background
The event featured eight professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plot], and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either villains or heroes in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
Another rivalry heading into Sacrifice was between K.J. Styles and Booker T. At Destination X, Styles won the TNA Legends Championship from Booker and since then, there had been constant confrontation between the two. On the April 30 edition of Impact!, one final confrontation between the two led to TNA management scheduling Styles to defend his title in an "I Quit" match against Booker T; this match requires the two wrestlers to fight until one wrestler says, "I Quit", letting the other wrestler to win the match.
The main rivalry from the women's division was between Angelina Love (Angel Williams) and Awesome Kong (Tessa Smith). At Lockdown, Love won the TNA Women's Knockout Championship from Kong in a three-way match by pinning Taylor Wilde (Shantelle Larissa). On the April 30 and May 7 editions of Impact!, Kong defeated Love's associates in her group, The Beautiful People, Victoria Lehr (Victoria Simmons) and Velvet Sky (Jamie Szantyr) (and later Love's manager, Cute Kip (Billy Morgan)) in stretcher matches. It was later announced that Love would defend her title against Kong at Sacrifice.
Another event that happened going into Sacrifice involved the tag team division. Current IWGP Tag Team and TNA World Tag Team Champions, Team 3D (Brother Harlan (Harlan LoMonaco and Brother Scott (Scott Hughes)), announced the Team 3D Invitational Tag Team Tournament, which was an eight-team, three-round single-elimination tournament with the winning team receiving a trophy, a check for $100,000, and a shot at the TNA World Tag Team Championship. On the May 7 edition of Impact!, the semi finals took place with Kevin Storm and Martin McAlmond, also known as Beer Money, Inc., advancing to the finals by defeating the team of Will Kapphan and Jethro Holliday (Phillip Legg). The following week of Impact had Doug Williams and Aaron Peters (collectively known as The British Invasion) advancing to the finals after defeating Suicide and Amazing Red.
