At [[Final Resolution (2012)|Final Resolution]], [[Bobby Roode]] fell to defeat in his [[TNA World Heavyweight Championship]] match with the reigning champion [[Jeff Hardy]], despite the fact that he made a business deal in exchange for help from the [[Aces & Eights]] group, who didn't follow through accordingly. On the December 13, 2012 edition of ''[[Impact Wrestling (TV series)|Impact Wrestling]]'', an irate Roode demanded answers for the desertion. In a turn of events, it was disclosed that his rival [[Austin Aries]] had paid off a better bid to the group. Hardy would then criticize Aries' attempt to get help from the Aces & Eights to win back the championship and proposed defending the title against Aries as part of their third encounter the next week. During the match between Aries and Hardy, however, Roode intervened ensuring a loss for Aries while the referee was out. The following week on the December 27 and last ''Impact Wrestling'' episode of the year, Aries admitted Roode was now even with him on screwing each other over, and for Roode's actions of costing him the title match, declared that he would face Roode to determine who would challenge Hardy for the belt. That night, Aries and Roode fought to a double disqualification after the two of them assaulted the referee, who interrupted their argument during the bout; this brought out Hardy who attacked the two of them. On the January 3, 2013 edition of ''Impact Wrestling'' when Hardy was announced as the "2012 TNA Wrestler of the Year", which made Roode and Aries emerge in disagreement to refer to their accolades in the past year, Hardy stated that he would be competing against Roode and Aries at Genesis prior to all three engaging in a physical confrontation.

 

 

On the January 3 edition of ''Impact Wrestling'', [[Christopher Daniels]] (with [[Frankie Kazarian|Kazarian]]) mocked [[James Storm]] for not winning the "2012 TNA Wrestler of the Year" award. A feud began when Storm reacted by spitting in Daniels' [[Appletini]] drink. Later that night, Storm defeated Kazarian in a one-on-one match. This feud would extend into the next week where Daniels and Kazarian distracted Storm from teaming with Jeff Hardy in their match against Bobby Roode and Austin Aries.

 

 

[[Rob Van Dam]] put [[Kenny King (wrestler)|Kenny King]] down for the victory at Final Resolution. On the following ''Impact Wrestling'' episode, Kenny King was able to defeat Van Dam sneakily using the ropes as leverage for a pinfall. King the next week claimed that he had nothing against Van Dam than wanting to get even. When pit to partner with Van Dam that night against [[Joey Ryan (wrestler)|Joey Ryan]] and [[Matt Morgan (wrestler)|Matt Morgan]], King bailed on Van Dam, leaving Ryan and Morgan to secure the win. King confident Van Dam would call him out for a match, Van Dam instead called out who he said he respected, [[Christian York]], on the December 27, 2012 Open Fight Fight edition of ''Impact Wrestling'', beating York in the proceedings. York entered the X Division Tournament a week later advancing over Kid Kash, while King defeated Zema Ion the following week, essentially setting up a match between York and King at Genesis, where the winner would face Van Dam for the [[TNA X Division Championship]] at the same event.

[[Samoa Joe]] versus [[Ken Anderson (wrestler)|Mr. Anderson]] was another match scheduled for the event. This match was made amidst a rekindled feud among Kurt Angle and Mr. Anderson, who had recently joined the villainous Aces & Eights group. With Samoa Joe being allies with Angle, who was taken out of commission with a ball-peen hammer by Aces & Eights member [[Mike Knox]], the match between Joe and Anderson was set.

 

 

A [[Professional wrestling match types|Gauntlet match]] was scheduled to decide a number one contender to the [[TNA Knockout Championship]] between [[Velvet Sky]], [[ODB (wrestler)|ODB]], [[Brooke Tessmacher|Miss Tessmacher]], [[Mickie James]], and [[Gail Kim]].
