On the following episode of ShowDown, Linderman, who was pinned, apologized to Turf for costing them the match.

The Larsons interrupted and insulted Linderman, after which, Turf scheduled a rematch for the titles at Final Fight.

On the February 14 episode of ShowDown, The Dooms Day's Steve Britz was a last minute replacement for an injured Travis Capps in the six-man gauntlet match where the winner would be the last entrant in the WIW Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match at the pay-per-view.

The following week, however, Rex Martin interrupted the contract signing between Semmler and Britz. Martin praised Britz for all his accomplishments in WIW, and scheduled Semmler to face Dustin Simpson and if Simpson won, he'd be added to the match. Later that evening, Simpson defeated Semmler to get added to the match, thus making it a Triple threat match at Final Fight. However before the match took place, Martin replaced Britz with Capps and forced Britz to compete in a Handicap match.

At the World War, Ali Richards was unsuccessful in regaining the ShowDown Heavyweight Women's Championship, but later entered the women's World War Rumble match and won by last eliminating Avery Gold, despite injuring her own knee and shoulder. The next night on Raw, Richards confronted Rage World Women's Champions Sis Bates and chose to face her at SuperBrawl XI. Richards then refused a medical examination on her knee and shoulder after a brawl with Gold on ShowDown. Newly appointed Corporate Family member, Sandy Martin gave Richards an ultimatum: have her injuries examined or be suspended until she does. Richards still refused and attacked both Sandy and Rex Martin. The following Rage, it was revealed that Richard had been medically cleared; after she apologized for the attacks, the suspension was lifted, however, Dixie Finnegan overruled Rex and Sandy Martin by suspending Richards for 60 days and replaced her with Gold as Bates' WrestleMania opponent. On the February 27 episode of Rage, Richards was arrested after attacking Bates; Bates then demanded that Richards be reinstated and left the championship in the ring. The following week, Sandy and Dixie declared the title vacant, reinstated Richards, and scheduled a match between her and Gold for the championship at Final Fight. Later on, however, Bates protested that she did not vacate the title and was only trying to send a message, prompting Dixie to hand her back the title belt and change the stipulation of the Final Fight match: if Richards won, she would be added back into the championship match at WrestleMania to make it a triple threat match.

On the October 24, 2018 episode of Rage, Kevin McAlmond was attacked by Eric Stevens, who since of 2017 had debuted in WIW aligning himself with his girlfriend, Victoria Lehr and the Lehr Family, putting McAlmond through two stacked tables, injurying him in the process. Later that night, McAlmond's teammates Kooper McAlmond and Ryan Barnhart won the Rage World Tag Team Championship, but a rift between, due to Daniel Gonzalez saying that Kooper thought himself better then Barnhart.

Later that night, Barnhart defeated Kooper and Gonzalez to win the WIW International Championship.
