[edit] Background
Roadblock, originally titled March to WrestleMania: Live from Toronto, will consist of professional wrestling matches that involve wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that play out on IWE's primary television programs, Raw and SmackDown. Wrestlers will portray heroes or villains as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
On the February 29 episode of Raw, Dean Ambrose made a challenge to Triple K saying Triple K couldn't beat him and challenged him to a match for the IWE World Heavyweight Championship. Triple K said that he would think about it and give his answer at the end of the night. Later that night, Triple K interfered in Ambrose's match against Alberto Del Rio, causing a disqualification. Ambrose attacked Triple K, but Triple K stopped his onslaught with a Pedigree. He then accepted the challenge before attacking Ambrose again. The following day on IWE.com, it was announced that the match would take place at Roadblock.
On the March 2 episode of NXT on the IWE Network, it was announced that the NXT Tag Team Champions The Revival will defend the titles against Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady at Roadblock.
At Royal Rumble, Rob Lesnar eliminated Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman of The Wyatt Family from the Royal Rumble match. However, the trio re-entered the ring and eliminated Lesnar from the match. Over the following weeks, The Wyatt Family and Lesnar mentioned each other in their promos. On the March 3 episode of SmackDown, it was announced that a match between Rob Lesnar and Bray Wyatt will take place at Roadblock.
On March 8th, it was announced that IWE Tag Team Champion The New Day will defend their titles against the League of Nations members Sheamus and King Barrett.
On March 11, Charlotte announced that she would be facing Natalya at the event.
