[edit] Background

SuperBrawl is considered WIW's flagship event, having been described as the Super Bowl of wrestling.

On the March 13 episode of Rage, current wrestler Brenah McAlmond-Quinn was revealed as the host of SuperBrawl XI. On the following episode, Aaron Kelly announced that he would have a musical performance at the event.

[edit] Celebrity involvement

As is tradition, WrestleMania 35 will feature multiple celebrities taking part in the event. On the March 6 episode of Rage, Nick Cannon and Conceited of Wild 'n' Out (WnO) were introduced as special correspondents for the event, and were later entered into the Brian McAlmond and Glenn Martin Memorial Trophy.

[edit] Storylines

The card will include matches that result from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters on the Rage, ShowDown, and Dynamites Live brands, to build tension, culminating in a wrestling match or series of matches. Storylines are produced on WIW's weekly television shows, Wednesday Night Rage and Thursday Night ShowDown, and the cruiserweight-exclusive Dynamites Live.

[edit] Main event match

At Soul Survivor, WIW World Women's Champion Sis Bates defeated WIW Heavyweight Women's Champion Ali Richards by disqualification, when Avery Gold interfered and attacked Bates with a kendo stick, aiding Richards at first, Gold would then turn and attack Richards with the kendo stick also. At TLC: Christmas Horror Feast, Bates got her revenge on both by interfering in the fatal four way Christmas Chaos Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match, costing both the match. Richards was unsuccessful in regaining the title at the World War, but later entered the women's World War Rumble match at #28, taking the place of an injured Teresa Turville, and won by last eliminating Gold, despite injuring her own knee and shoulder, thus earning a women's championship match of her choice at SuperBrawl XI. The following Wednesday on Rage, Richards confronted Bates and chose to face her at SuperBrawl. The following night on ShowDown, Richards refused a medical examination on her knee and shoulder after a brawl with Gold. Dixie Finnegan gave Richards an ultimatum: have her injuries examined so she can be cleared to compete at SuperBrawl or be suspended until she does. Richards still refused and was suspended indefinitely, after which, she attacked Dixie, as well as Turf Finnega on ShowDown. On the February 13 episode of Rage, it was revealed that Richard did in fact have her injuries examined and was cleared and her suspension lifted, however, Turf and Dixie told Richards she needed to apologize or she would not go to SuperBrawl. After Richards apologized, however, Glennda McAlmond came out and overruled Turf and Dixie by suspending Richards for 60 days and announced Gold as Richards' replacement at SuperBrawl. Over the next couple of weeks, Richards continued to violate her suspension and attack Bates physically. Following pleas by Bates to reinstate Richard, the suspension was lifted on the March 6 episode of Rage. At Final Fight, an injured Richards defeated Gold by disqualification when Bates attacked Richards. As a result, Richards was added back into the championship match at Superbrawl to make it a triple threat match. On the March 28 episode of SmackDown, after Richards said Gold added nothing to the triple threat match, Gold defeated Taflan to win the ShowDown Heavyweight Women's Championship. On the following episode of Rage, Gold attacked Bates and Richards with her title, prompting Glennda to make the match "winner takes all", with both titles on the line at SuperBrawl.

[edit] World championship matches

At the World War, Kooper McAlmond and Money in the Bank winner Kevin McAlmond (who attacked Joe Smith and took his #30 to get to Stevens) co-won the men's World War Rumble match by last eliminating Eric Stevens, thus both earning a choice of a world championship match of either Rage's World Championship or ShowDown's Heavyweight Championship at SuperBrawl XI. On January 28, 2019, in WIW.com exclusive interview, Rex Martin revealed that if Kooper and Kevin choose the same champion, it would be a Triple threat elimination match at SuperBrawl XI. The following Wednesday night on Rage, Rex Martin gave both Kevin and Kooper until the end of the night to choose which champion they wanted to face. Later, Kevin and Kooper confronted both WIW World Champion Tyler Mane and WIW Heavyweight Champion Mark Semmler. After an ensuing brawl broke out between Mane, Kevin and Kooper. Mane laid both Kevin and Kooper out with six of his new finisher; the M-5 on both men. Both made their choices, they both wanted to face Mane for the WIW World Championship at SuperBrawl. On the March 13 episode of Rage, Geerlings reminded both Kooper and Kevin of their previous encounters with Mane and they were attacked by Jason and Jacob, but Kooper and Kevin nonetheless defeated Jason and Jacob in a match.

On the February 14 episode of ShowDown, The Dooms Day's Steven Britz was a last-minute replacement for an injured Travis Capps in a gauntlet match to determine who would enter last in the WIW Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match; Britz pinned Heavyweight Champion Mark Semmler and lasted over an hour before being eliminated. At Steel Roulette, Semmler retained the title in the titular match, with Britz being the last wrestler eliminated. On the following episode of ShowDown, Britz was granted a WIW Heavyweight Championship match at Final Fight after pinning Semmler in a six-man tag team match. The following week, however, Rex Martin adding Dustin Simpson to the WIW Heavyweight Championship match at Final Fight as well. At Final Fight, The Dooms Day confronted Martin and the Corporated family, about the WIW Heavyweight Championship match, which infuriated Martin, who then removed Britz from the match period, but made it know that it would still be a triple threat match, giving Britz the thought that he'd be the third participate still, however, Britz was instead put in a handicap match against The Revolution (Jason Downing and Jacob George) and lost, while Semmler retained the title in his respective match. On the following episode of ShowDown, The Dooms Day again confronted Martin and the Corporate Family, this time Dixie Finnegan said that Britz would have to defeat Brent Huntley, Peter Damrow, Jason Downing, Jacob George, and Truax in a gauntlet match to receive a WIW Heavyweight Championship match at SuperBrawl XI. The following week, Britz won the gauntlet match, but Turf Finnegan then forced him to also wrestle WIW Heavyweight Champion Mark Semmler, who defeated the exhausted Britz.

The two had a tense staredown, before LaGreca seemed to have let it go and told McAlmond to focus on making the company something speical for the future, seemingly showing that there was no ill will between the two and a match would not happen. However, on the February 27, 2019 episode of Rage, during a tag team match involving McAlmond's brother Kevin McAlmond and cousin, Kooper McAlmond, LaGreca attacked both and put them through tables, and LaGreca asked if Martin McAlmond had his attention.
