## Background

On Anarchy #56, Biff Andreas defeated Zack Bateley to retain the Wildside Title. After the match, P4NiC attacked Zack as he came back through the Gorilla Position and laid him out. As he was getting checked out by doctors, Zack said he wanted a match with P4NiC and because he knew why he attacked him, Zack put his Intercommonwealth Championship on the line. The match was made official by Anarchy General Manager Rabid, but A.W.A.C. Management put in on the Fury pre-show. Liberty General Manager Hugo Strange then made a Women's Tag Team Title match between Team Brazil and the team of Alita & Squirrel Girl (A.W.A.C. Management later placed that on the Fury pre-show).

On Liberty #10, Jason Voorhees defeated James Fatal, TBO, Yoshimitsu, and Bane to win himself and his partner Michael Myers another shot at the A.W.A.C. United States Tag Team Titles at Descendance. Liberty General Manager Hugo Strange made official to change the US Tag Team Title match from a normal match to a 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match.

For almost 2 years, Zarya dominated the A.W.A.C. women's division as its Women's Champion. On Anarchy #53, after Zarya retained her title in a Triple Threat Match against Alex Quinn and Taki, Juri Han made her return from an ankle injury and attacked her. On Anarchy #54, Juri Han won a 6-Woman Battle Royal to become the #1 contender, and on Anarchy #55, she defeated Zarya to become champion, ending her 699-day reign in the process. Zarya told A.W.A.C. Management that she would be cashing in her contractual obligated rematch clause at Descendance and the rematch for the Women's Championship was made official.

On Liberty #11, TBO attacked TJ Nicholson backstage before challenging him for the Online Title at Descendance. Liberty General Manager Hugo Strange made that match official.

On Anarchy #49, Alex Quinn defeated Chun-Li. After that match, a woman dressed in white beat her up. On Anarchy #50, the woman revealed herself to be Kendra Kloss. Both Alex and Kendra trained together in MMA at one point, but while Alex succeeded, Kendra was banned for life. She attacked Alex due to the fact that no one respected how ruthless she was in MMA, before challenging Alex to a match at Envy. At A.W.A.C. Envy, Kendra won via submission with a Rear Naked Choke. On Anarchy #55, Kendra attacked Alex backstage in the locker room (Alex was still in her wrestling attire due to her winning a dark match against D.Va before the show went on-air). Later in the show, Anarchy General Manager Rabid announced the two will have one final match at Descendance: A Tapout Or Knockout Match.

At Proceed With Caution, Brian Pillman Jr. made his A.W.A.C. debut attacking Seth Rollins and allowing Jon Moxley to pick up an easy win. At No Guts, No Mercy, Jon Moxley defeated Roman Reigns. Liberty General Manager Hugo Strange then announced that all 4 men will come to blows at Descendance as Seth and Roman team up against Jon and Brian in a Street Fight.

At Anarchy #37, Booster Gold threw Matthew Santoro off the top of the production truck in the parking lot. Shortly thereafter, Santoro would be out of action due to injury. On Anarchy #48, Booster Gold bragging about how Matthew Santoro would never step into a wrestling ring again. On Anarchy #49, he once again cut a promo about ending Matthew's career and that would never wrestle again. On Anarchy #50, Booster Gold came out and was going to cut the same promo again, but suddenly Matthew Santoro made his long-awaited return, appearing on the titantron and saying that at Envy, he will end Booster Gold. At Envy, their match ended in a no-contest due to Booster attacking Matthew during his entrance and the two brawling backstage. Their fight ended with a car chase in which both men got arrested, but were eventually released on bail. On Anarchy #52, after winning his match against Rocket Raccoon, Booster Gold was going to attack him with a steel chair but Matthew Santoro made the save and chased him off. On Anarchy #55, Anarchy General Manager Rabid announced that the two will settle their differences in an "I Quit" Match and the loser must leave A.W.A.C. forever. In that show's main event, the team of Matthew Santoro & the Guardians Of The Galaxy (Rocket Raccoon & Groot) defeated the team of Booster Gold & the Gorillas Of Destiny (Gorilla Grodd & Monsieur Mallah) in a 6-Man Tag Team Match.

Ever since Daas Wheedon cashed in his MITB contract at Final Destination 2018 and became A.W.A.C. Champion, he has turned away every challenger. From Cell to Mike Berkley, from Dan "The Beast" Severn to Nick Gage, he has defeated them all. On Anarchy #54, Diecast member Milo Elasovic told Daas about a rumor circulating that AJ Styles wanted to challenge him for the A.W.A.C. Championship at Descendance. Milo told Daas that if he took Styles out of his schedule World Tag Team Title defense, he can destroy him again at Descendance. Daas agreed and later in the night, he attacked Styles backstage. As a result of this, his title defense turned into a Handicap Match as Diecast defeated Styles' partner Christian Cage to become 2-time A.W.A.C. World Tag Team Champions. On Anarchy #56, AJ Styles attacked Daas Wheedon on the entrance-way, before stating that even though those rumors were false, they were true now. Styles officially challenged Daas for his A.W.A.C. Championship at Descendance.

At A.W.A.C. Proceed With Caution, Bobby Roode defeated Lance Maverick to become the A.W.A.C. United States Heavyweight Champion. Afterward, he would team up with Malcolm McDermott (unofficially known as a new incarnation of Team Canada). On Liberty #9, Kevin Owens returned and immediately challenged for the US Heavyweight Title. He defeated Malcolm McDermott once in the opening match, and then once more in the main event as part of a Tag Team Match where he and Lance Maverick defeated McDermott and Roode. Meanwhile, Mike Berkley and Riku had a rivalry which ended on Liberty #4 where Berkley defeated Riku in a Steel Cage Match. At No Guts, No Mercy, Owens defeated Roode to win the US Heavyweight Title. However, on Liberty #10, Roode defeated Owens in a No Disqualification Match to win the title back. In addition to that, also on Liberty #10, Riku defeated Malcolm McDermott. It was also on Liberty #10 that Liberty GM Hugo Strange announced that all six men, Roode, Owens, McDermott, Maverick, Berkley, and Riku will fight in the Elimination Chamber for the US Heavyweight Championship. On Liberty #12, Roode won a Six-To-Survive to be the wrestler that enters into the Chamber last, giving himself a major advantage.
