Storylines
The event featured wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
Aftermath
This was the final appearance of the NWA World Tag Team Championship on a WCW Pay Per View. The titles were won by Arn Anderson and Paul Roma in August of 1993 at Clash of Champions XXIV, then WCW withdrew from the NWA in September of 1993, and the titles would no longer be defended together; the NWA did not fill the vacancy for nearly two years; finally having a tournament in July of 1995 which was won by the Rock and Roll Express.
