### Background

Survival of the Fittest is an annual tournament held by ROH. For the 2018 event, the winners from designated tournament matches advanced to a 6-Man Elimination Match and the winner of that match was declared Survivor of the Fittest, and received a future ROH World Championship match.

### Production

Survival of The Fittest featured professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that played out on ROH's television program, Ring of Honor Wrestling.
