Over the Edge was the culmination of various scripted plots and storylines. Before the event, several WIW professional wrestling matches and stories were played out on WIW programming: Dynasty, Turbo, and Sunday Night Xplosion. These narratives created feuds between various wrestlers, casting them as villains and heroes.
The main narrative for On the Edge continued the events that unfolded at previous episodes of Dynasty, St. Valentie's Day Massacre and the Whiplash, WIW's previous two pay-per-view event, held on February 14, 1999 and April 25, 1999, respectivly.
