World War (2018) is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Incorporated Wrestling for the Rage and ShowDown brands. It will take place on January 28, 2018, at the Mitchell Stadium in Anaconda, Montana. It will be the nineteeth event under the World War chronology.

Background

The card features matches that resulted from scripted storylines that had results predetermined by WIW on both the Rage and ShowDown brands. Storylines were produced on WIW's weekly television shows, Wednesday Night ShowDown, Thursday Night ShowDown, and Dynamites Live, the latter of which is Dynamite Division-exclusive. As is tradition, the card will be highlighted by the 30-man World War Rumble match, in which the winner earns a world championship match at SuperBrawl X for either Raw's WIW World Championship or ShowDown's WIW Heavyweight Championship. The event will also host the first-ever women's Royal Rumble match, in which the winner will earn a women's championship match at SuperBrawl X for either the WIW World Women's Championship or WIW Heavyweight Women's Championship.

On the December 20, 2017 edition of Rage, Aron Satre became the first wrestler to announce his participation in the men's World War Rumble match.

On the November 22, 2017 episode of Rage, Dianna Agron, who was making her debut for the Rage brand, along with Jessica Rothe and Leah forming the subgroup for The Club of Chaos called the Ladies of Chaos, along with World Women's Champion Brenah McAlmond-Quinn and the other women in the group. Over the next few weeks, the group of women attacked the women of Rage backstage or after matches. On the December 20, 2017 episode of Rage, after a six women tag team match between the Ladies of Chaos (Rothe, Leah and Agron) and the team of Victoria Lehr, Brooke Slevin and Tessa Smith ended in a disqualification and a brawl ensued with the rest of the Rage women's roster, Rage Commissioner Glennda McAlmond came out and the brawl stopped. Glennda recapped the year that the women had in 2016-2017 and that she wanted the women's division to be even bigger in 2018, before announcing the first-ever women's World War Rumble match for the 2018 World War with the winner receiving a match at SuperBrawl X for either the Rage's World Women's Championship or ShowDown's Heavyweight Women's Championship. The next night on ShowDown, Heavyweight Women's Champion Avery Gold said she would be waiting for the winner at SuperBrawl, and Sarah Hicks announced her participation in the match.
