Genesis (2013) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling that was held on January 13, 2013 at the Impact Wrestling Zone in Orlando, Florida. It was the eighth annual Genesis event. This was the first pay-per-view event of the 2013 calendar to jump start TNA's new business initiative to reduce their regular annual PPVs a year down to four.
Nine matches were featured on the card. In the main event was Jeff Hardy successfully defending the TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Bobby Roode and Austin Aries in a Triple Threat Elimination match. Other top matches included Sting overcoming Aces & Eights member D.O.C. in a singles match, and Christopher Daniels defeating James Storm to receive a shot at the TNA World Title.
Genesis featured nine professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
