===Storylines===
On August 30, 2022 episode of NXT, after defeating Ivy Nile and Tatum Paxley, NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Katana Chance and Kayden Carter were challenged by Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H. It was made official that night that Chance and Carter would defend the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship against Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H. at Worlds Collide. 
It was announced on the August 30, 2022 episode of NXT that at Worlds Collide, a Fatal Four Way Elimination Tag Team Match would take place to unify the NXT Tag Team Championship and NXT UK Tag Team Championship. The announced participants were NXT Tag Team Champions The Creed Brothers (Brutus Creed and Julius Creed), NXT UK Tag Team Champions Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs, Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang), and Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince and Kit Wilson).
On the August 30, 2022 episode of NXT, North American Champion Carmelo Hayes questioned why he had been left off the Worlds Collide card. Proclaiming no one was on his level, Hayes was interrupted by Ricochet. Ricochet proceeded to challenge Hayes to a North American Championship Match at Worlds Collide before Trick Williams attempted to attack him. After fending off Williams, Ricochet also fought back Hayes, before draping the championship over the champion. It was made official that night that Ricochet would challenge Hayes at Worlds Collide. 
Following her victory over Indi Hartwell the August 23, 2022 episode of NXT, Blair Davenport declared she was the number one contender for the NXT UK Women's Championship but would settle for the NXT Women's Championship. This brought out NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose, who stated that she ran NXT. However, Rose was cut off by NXT UK Women's Champion Meiko Satomura, with Rose and Satomura agreeing to a champion vs. champion match. Davenport restated that she was the number one contender, and as a result, a championship unification triple threat match was announced for Worlds Collide. 
Following his successful defence against JD McDonagh at Heat Wave, NXT Champion Bron Breakker was confronted by NXT UK Champion Tyler Bate. The following week, Bate and Breakker agreed to a championship unification match, making the match official for Worlds Collide.
