Production
Background
As is tradition, the winner of the men's and women's World War matches will earn a world championship match of their choice at SuperBrawl XI. The men will have the choice between Raw's World Championship and ShowDown's Heavyweight Championship. The women will have the choice of either the Rage's World Women's Championship or ShowDown's Heavyweight Women's Championship.
Storylines
The card will include matches that result from scripted storylines that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by WIW's writers on the Rage and ShowDown brands. Storylines are produced on WIW's weekly television shows, Wednesday Night Rage, Thursday Night ShowDown, and the cruiserweight-exclusive Dynamites Live.
At TLC: Christmas Chaos, Fabulous Joe (Joe Smith and Kadee Jones) defeated Sandvigbuska (Craig Sandvig and Krysta Buska) (with The Sandvig Brothers) by submission to win the first season of Mixed Match Challenge. Their prize for winning was each getting the #30 spot in their respective World War Rumble matches at the pay per view.
At TLC: Christmas Chaos, Kevin McAlmond (with Rex Martin) defeated Eric Stevens (with John Lehr) in a Christmas Chaos Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match to avoid his Money in the Bank contract to be void, as well as to earn a World Championship match against Tyler Mane at the World War pay-per-view.
On the December 28, 2018, episode of Dynamites Live, Dynamites Live General Manager Brett Zanto scheduled Nick Reimer to defend the WIW Dynamite Division Championship at the World War in a fatal four-way match with his opponents to be decided in qualifying matches.
