Storylines
The show will include matches resulting from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results are predetermined by WIW's writers on the Rage and ShowDown brands, while storylines are produced on WIW's weekly television shows, Wednesday Night Rage and Thursday Night ShowDown.
At SuperBrawl XI, Kooper McAlmond defeated Tyler Mane to win the WIW World Championship, in a match that was supposed to also involve Kevin McAlmond. However Kevin McAlmond was attacked by Evolved Revolution, taking him out of the match. In the weeks proceeding, Kevin McAlmond began being targeted by management figures, Turf Finnegan and Dixie Finnegan, even sparking a more hell raising gimmick against Authority, this would make The Finnegan's attempt to put McAlmond into matches trying to take him out of the Money in the Bank ladder match. At Money in the Bank, Kevin McAlmond won the ladder match to win the world championship contract. In the weeks proceeding, Kevin and Kooper McAlmond would continue to have ocational altercations with each other with Kevin teasing cash-ins, but were constantly interrupted by Evolved Revolution. Broken Bodies, Kooper McAlmond, Kevin McAlmond, and Ali Richards successfully defended Kooper's WIW World Championship, Kevin's Money in the Bank contract, and Richard's WIW World Women's Championship against Eric Stevens, Edwin Rameriz, Jr., and Victoria Lehr in a Last Chance Six-person tag team Broken Bodies match. After the match, Kooper was attacked by Mane on order of The Finnegan's. After fending off The Finnegan's, Mane, Stevens, Rameriz and Lehr, Kevin McAlmond would successfully cash-in winning back the WIW World Championship. On the July 17 episode of Rage, The Finnegan's scheduled three triple threat matches where the winners would face Kevin McAlmond for the title. Kooper McAlmond, Tyler Mane and Eric Stevens all qualified by winning triple threat matches and the title match was made official for SummerBash. On the July 24 episode of Rage, the team of Mane, Stevens, Scout and Victoria defeated the team of WIW World Champion Kevin, Kooper, Kiela and Jenna Lilley, after Turf Finnegan hit Kevin with the world title, allowing Mane to pin Kevin. After the match, Mane hit Stevens with a Powerbomb. The following week on Rage, during a scheduled match between Kevin McAlmond and Michael Fonger, Mane interfered and brutal assaulted Kevin McAlmond with a steel chair before Mane put him through the commentators table. After, Turf and Dixie stood over Kevin celebrating with Mane.
On the July 17 episode of Rage, WIW Chairwomen Glennda McAlmond scheduled a 10-women cross-brand battle royal to determine the number one contender against Ali Richards for the World Women's Championship at SummerBash. In the end, Sarah Hicks, Beatrice LaGreca, Brenah McAlmond-Quinn, Brittany Hiatt, and Kadee Jones all eliminated each other, so Glennda made a fatal five-way match for later in the night. LaGreca and McAlmond-Quinn won by pinning Hiatt and Jones, simultaneously. Glennda then announced that LaGreca and McAlmond-Quinn both would face Richards for the title at SummerBash.
On the July 18 episode of ShowDown, after Heavyweight Women's Champion Ashley Holshue and Faith Cronin defeated The Matteson Sisters (Kaila Matteson and McKaulie Matteson) in a tag team match in which Cronin scored the pin, Holshue named Cronin the number one contender for her title at SummerBash.
During the summer of 2019, Richard Munoz became furious with Turf Finnegan due to the latter taking up more and more screen time each week from other wrestlers and exerting even more authority, including costing him the WIW United Nations Championship at Stomping Territory which was in contradiction to what The Corporate Family (Glennda McAlmond, Rex Martin, Turf Finnegan and Dixie Finnegan) had promised several months prior. Despite Turf's other attempts to ban Richards from Rage and ShowDown, Richards would nevertheless show up and attack Turf at opportune moments. During Rage Reunion on July 24, Richards challenged Turf to a match at SummerBash and said he would quit the WIW if he were to lose, and Turf accepted.
On the July 25 episode of ShowDown, WIW Heavyweight Champion Steve Britz selected Brent Huntley as his SummerBash opponent with his title on the line. Britz referenced their past feud when Britz had defeated Huntley, but said Huntley used his influence to keep Britz out of the main event scene. Huntley said he was right that he held Britz back and accepted Britz's challenge.
Following the Superstar Shake-up in April, Jon Rispens, who had been on hiatus since the previous summer, began appearing as an eerie children's entertainer in pre-taped segments called Firefly Playhouse. He eventually revealed a new sinister alternate persona called "The Horror Fiend". After wild card guest Chris Gomez's match on the July 17 episode of Rage, the lights went out and Rispens appeared as "The Horror Fiend" and attacked Gomez. The following week on SmackDown, Gomez challenged Rispens to a match at SummerBash. Rispens appeared inside the funhouse and stated that he was a fan of Gomez but "The Horror Fiend" was not and that "The Horror Fiend" accepted the challenge.
