Background Following the success of the
Down Under Tour in Australia, Impact Wrestling announced a three-night UK Invasion Tour in the
United Kingdom in October, marking the promotion's return to UK in eight years. Three shows were announced for the event: a show at the
O2 Academy in
Glasgow,
Scotland on October 26, a show at the Walker Activity Dome in
Newcastle upon Tyne, England on October 27, and a show at the HMV Empire Coventry in
Coventry, England on October 28. On the August 31 episode of
Impact!, it was announced that the October 27 show scheduled for Walker Activity Dome would be the 2023 edition of Turning Point, marking the sixteenth edition of the event, and the first since
2021. It was announced that the show would air via
tape delay on
Impact Plus on November 3. On the August 31 episode of
Impact!, it was announced that
Will Ospreay would compete in a match at Turning Point. On October 17, it was announced that
Eddie Edwards would be Ospreay's opponent at the event. The second match announced for Turning Point was a
tag team match, in which
Eric Young and
Josh Alexander would be scheduled to take on
Subculture (
Flash Morgan Webster and
Mark Andrews). On October 18, two matches were added to the Turning Point card:
Jordynne Grace versus
Dani Luna, and
The Motor City Machine Guns (
Alex Shelley and
Chris Sabin) versus
Brian Myers and
Moose. On October 19, two matches were announced for the card including
Gisele Shaw versus
Alex Windsor, marking the latter's debut in Impact, and an
X Division three-way match between
Frankie Kazarian,
Rich Swann and
Trey Miguel. At
Slammiversary,
Trinity defeated
Deonna Purrazzo to win the
Knockouts World Championship and retained the title against Purrazzo in a rematch at
Emergence. On October 22, it was announced that Trinity would defend the title against Purrazzo at Turning Point and it would be Purrazzo's final chance at the title as long as Trinity was champion. On 9 September at
Impact! 1000,
Joe Hendry and his tag team partner
Yuya Uemura participated in the 20-man
Feast or Fired match. Hendry told Uemura to grab briefcase number 4, which contained the pink slip, and Uemura was fired from Impact Wrestling. YouTuber
Simon Miller reviewed
Impact! 1000 on
WhatCulture Wrestling's YouTube channel where he blamed Hendry for Uemura's firing. This led to Hendry and Miller attacking each other during the recording of ''Joe Hendry's Food Fight'' for Impact Plus. It resulted in a match being set up between Hendry and Miller at Turning Point. ==Results==
