WWE Worlds Collide was a two-day show of professional wrestling by WWE that happened at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona on January 26 and 27, 2019 at Royal Rumble Axxess and could be watched on the WWE Network on February 2, 2019. It happened after the Royal Rumble and before Halftime Heat.

The show had the 15-man Worlds Collide tournament which had five wrestlers each from NXT, NXT UK, and 205 Live. Velveteen Dream from NXT won the tournament and chose to face Johnny Gargano for the NXT North American Championship and won.

Storylines
The show had matches that were organized as part of stories where wrestlers played heroes, villains or somewhere in between. The winners of these matches are chosen by the writers of the stories from WWE.

The winner of the tournament would receive a championship match of their choice for either the United Kingdom, North American, NXT, or Cruiserweight Championship (but he could only choose the Cruiserweight Championship if he weighed less than 205 pounds).

On January 10, there was an announcement that there would be a 15-man Battle Royal at the show. The order that the wrestlers were eliminated in the battle royal was used to decide what the first round matches would be in the tournament. The winner of the battle royal would not have a first-round match. Instead, he would start in the second round.

Participants
These are the wrestlers that competed in the tournament and when there was an announcement that he would be competing. Bright yellow means the wrestler is from NXT, dark yellow means the wrestler is from NXT UK, and purple means the wrestler is from 205 Live.
