## Background

The main match heading into the show is Rick Rude vs Stunning Steve Austin in a No DQ NO1 Contender for the WCW Heaviweight Championship. These 2 debuted as a tag team in early 1991 immediatly targeting Vader as they tried to win the United States Championship failing over and over again, over the months they got more people and formed Dangerous Alliance with The Enforcers and Paul E.Dangerously. At Starrcade 1991, The Enforcers and Austin defeated Vader in a handicap match so Rude could get another US Championship match right after but again, Rick Rude was defeated. Vader decided to forcefully take over as leader of the group so they can get in shape, Vader demanded that the "prophecy of gold" should be completed which means Dangerous Alliance gets all WCW gold, Vader decided to forfeit the United States Championship and give it to Stunning Austin which made Austin reconsider his position about Vader as a leader and actually liking it while Rude still hated him. Eventually, Vader would win the WCW Heaviweight Championship, The Enforcers won the tag titles, Bobby Eaton won the Cruiserweight Championship and Rick Rude was supposed to win the TV Championship but failed twice against The Great Muta which led to Dangerous Alliance walking out on him. At Beach Blast, tensions were at an all time high with Rude and Dangerous Alliance but Rude helped Vader retain the WCW Heaviweight Championship against Kensuke Sasaki, but after the match Rude attacked Vader with the title turning face, his long-time partner Stunning Austin felt the most betrayed and tonight they'll face each other in a match that could determine the future of WCW

Diamond Dallas Page formed a group of his own: Diamond Alignment. So far, there are only 2 groups in WCW which is that and Dangerous Alliance so of course they feuded culminating in a War Games match with Rude pinning DDP, even so Vader gave DDP a WCW Heaviweight Championship shot so it's a battle between leaders

Diamond Alignment challenged any 3 men to a match, a random team of The Great Muta, Johnny B.Badd and Shane Douglas stepped up to the challenge. Stunning Austin decided that the 3 men who win this match can face him next Saturday Night in a fatal 4 way for the United States Championship

Rock N Roll Express recently returned and immediatly got tag title shots against The Enforcers

Tom Zenk decided that he will host a 6 men package for the Cruiserweight Championship
