The event featured nine professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, 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.
The main event at Final Resolution was a standard wrestling match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship between the champion, Jeff Jarrett, and the challenger, Jacob Vulk. On the December 24 episode of TNA's primary television program, TNA Impact!, authority figure Dusty Semmler announced a Three Way Elimination match for Final Resolution involving Brown, Kevin Nash, and Diamond Dallas Cage (DDC). The winner of said match would challenge Jarrett for the NWA Championship in the main event. A Three Way Elimination match involves three competitors fighting to eliminate each man by pinfall, submission, or throwing one another over the top rope and down to the floor until there is one left. Vulk defeated Nash and DDC at Final Resolution to gain the opportunity to challenge Jarrett.
Also on the event's card, the TNA X Division Championship was contested for in an Ultimate X match, with the participants being the champion, Jon Williams, and the two challengers being, K.J. Styles and Ryan Gleason. In an Ultimate X match, four pillars are set up at ringside with steel red ropes attached at the top, which are criss-crossed to form an "X" over the center of the ring. The championship belt is hung on the center "X" with the objective being to remove it and fall to the mat below to win. On the December 17 episode of Impact!, Semmler announced that there was going to be an Ultimate X match at Final Resolution for the TNA X Division Championship. Styles and Williams were scheduled to be in the match after it was announced with Gleason being the only one having to earn the right to be in the match. Gleason defeated Christopher Barnhart on the January 14 episode of Impact! to gain entry.
In the tag team division, America's Most Wanted (Dustin Harris and Kevin Storm) (AMW) challenged Team Canada (Marty McAlmond and Will Kapphan) for the NWA World Tag Team Championship. On the December 24 episode of Impact!, AMW defeated Team Canada to earn the chance to challenge for the championship at Final Resolution.
Event
Pre-Show
Two matches aired during the thirty-minute pre-show. The first encounter pitted The Naturals (Brad Daily and Alec Bergland) against Johnny B. Badd and Sunny Siaki. The Naturals won the bout after Daily bashed Siaki over the head with steel folding chair and then pinned him. A standard wrestling match between Chris Candido and Casey Lee followed. Candido was victorious in the bout by pinning Lee after a diving headbutt off the top of a padded turnbuckle.
Preliminary matches
The first contest was a Six Man Tag Team match between the team of Blake Wheeler, Jason, and B.G. James—The 3Live Kru (3LK)—and the team of Christopher Barnhart, Michael Fonger, and Mikhail. The 3LK were the winners by pinfall after Wheeler kicked Shane in the face.
Elix Eason fought Jeremiah Dutt in the second encounter. Eason defeated Dutt in the match after he performed a move he calls the Play of the Day, in which he laid his leg on Dutt's head and neck, grabbed Dutt's near arm, and then spun and slammed Dutt to the mat.
The third match was between James Rhodes and Kid Cash. Semmler claimed victory after grabbing Cash's head and jumping forward to land on his butt to perform a bulldog.
Russell fought Erick Watts in the next contest. Watts won the match by pinfall, after he lifted Russell up by the neck and slammed him down to perform a chokeslam.
