The event featured the surprise return of The Young Bucks after a four-month absence, who interrupted Andrew Everett and Trevor Lee to an impromptu match and defeated them to win the PWG World Tag Team Championship, thanks to interference by the PWG World Champion Roderick Strong. After the match, Super Dragon made his surprise return to PWG after a three-year absence and attacked Rick Knox, Excalibur, Candice LeRae, Andrew Everett, Trevor Lee, Biff Busick and Mike Bailey in quick succession.

It was PWG's first event after hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic, the last event being The Makings of a Varsity Athlete, which took place on December 20, 2019.[12] Super Dragon made his surprise return to the promotion by joining Black Taurus and Demonic Flamita in assaulting Bandido after Bandido retained the PWG World Championship against Taurus.[13] This prompted AEW star Malakai Black, who formerly competed in PWG as Tommy End, to make his surprise return to the promotion after a five-year absence, having last competed at the 2016 Battle of Los Angeles.[14] Black rescued Bandido from the assault and was joined by Brody King and the two formed a tag team with Black promising to appear at Threemendous VI.[15][16]
