Storylines
The card will comprise ten matches that resulted from scripted storylines and had results predetermined by WIW on the Raw and ShowDown brands. Storylines were produced on WIW's weekly television shows, Wednesday Night Rage, Thursday Night ShowDown, and the cruiserweight-exclusive Dynamites Live.
