Gresham vs. Kazarian set for TNA Final Resolution pre-show

A pre-show match is the latest addition to the card for TNA Final Resolution 2024.

This Friday, TNA presents its last major event of the year with Final Resolution being held at Center Stage in Atlanta. It was announced today that Jonathan Gresham vs. Frankie Kazarian will take place on Countdown to Final Resolution. The free pre-show streams live on TNA+ and YouTube starting at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time.

An eight-man tag match headlined Impact last week with Gresham and Kazarian on opposite sides. Gresham put Josh Alexander in a submission and appeared to have the match won, but the referee was distracted. Kazarian used the opportunity to strike Gresham with the Call Your Shot trophy. Alexander then pinned Gresham, giving Kazarian, Alexander, Judas Icarus & Travis Williams the victory over Gresham, Steve Maclin, Eric Young & Mike Santana.

Kazarian won the Call Your Shot gauntlet at Bound for Glory this October, earning a future shot at any TNA title of his choosing.

The updated Final Resolution lineup is listed below. The main card has a start time of 8 p.m. Eastern on TNA+.

Grace will be looking to rally after three straight losses (two to reigning champion Masha Slamovich and one to Tasha Steelz). Rosemary has had a quietly strong 2024 in TNA, going unbeaten in 11 singles and three-way matches.
