Teams of wrestlers from around the world compete in Heavyweight, X Division, Tag Team and Knockouts Division matches, the winning team members gaining points for their respective teams. The two teams with the most points face off in the main event in a five-on-five elimination tag team match to crown the winners of the TNA World Cup of Wrestling.
For the January 2019 tapings, IMPACT Wrestling brought back the World Cup name for a tournament in partnership with Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide. Team IMPACT consisted of Sami Callihan, Eli Drake, Eddie Edwards and Fallah Bahh. Team AAA consisted of Aero Star, El Hijo del Vikingo, Puma King and Psycho Clown. The match, which aired on the February 15 episode of IMPACT!, was a 4-on-4 single elimination match. The match came down to Edwards and Psycho Clown with Psycho Clown eliminating Edwards, after Drake hit Edwards with a kendo stick.
