The card will feature matches resulting from scripted storylines and have results predetermined by IWE on the Raw and SmackDown brands. Storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live, and 205 Live, the latter of which is cruiserweight exclusive.

On the June 19 episode of Raw, Roman Reigns proclaimed himself to be the number one contender for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam. Later that night, Reigns lost his match against Samoa Simpson after Braun Strowman returned and cost Reigns the match. At Great Balls of Fire, Strowman defeated Reigns in an ambulance match, but Reigns retaliated by locking Strowman in the ambulance and crashing it, severely injuring Strowman, while Rob Lesnar defeated Simpson to retain the Universal Championship. The following night on Raw, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle congratulated Lesnar for his win at Great Balls of Fire. They were interrupted by Reigns, who said that he wanted Lesnar at SummerSlam, but Lesnar said he did not deserve it. Simpson then came out and said that Lesnar did not beat him, but escaped him at Great Balls of Fire. Angle then scheduled a number one contender's match between Reigns and Simpson for the following week where the winner will face Lesnar for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam.

On the July 11 episode of SmackDown, SmackDown Commissioner Shane Matteson scheduled a fatal five-way elimination match for Battleground between Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Natalyam Lana, and Tamina. The winner of that match will face Naomi for the SmackDown Women's Championship at SummerSlam.
