## Background

On Liberty #3, Hugo Strange announced the creation of a new match: Monarch's Warfare (initially called Pharoah's Warfare but was changed to avoid confusion with CAW wrestler Matt Pharoah and because of the grizzly bear named Monarch on the flag of California, where A.W.A.C.'s headquarters are situated). The rules for this match are as follows: Two men from any of the teams will start the match as Entrant #1 and Entrant #2. Every 2 minutes, another entrant from any of the teams will enter, according to the number they drew. This will continue until everyone from all of the teams have entered. You must eliminate your opponents by throwing them over the top rope and having both feet touch the floor. When it comes down to the last two men, their respective partners come out and both teams compete in a Tapout Or Knockout Tag Team Match. If the last two men in the ring are from the same team, that team wins by default. The winners will become the first-ever A.W.A.C. United States Tag Team Champions. Following this announcement, The Movement's James Fatal defeated The Dark Room's John Robertson, The Age Of Gold's Nethaniel King, and The Ministry Of Destruction's Giant Gonzalez in a Fatal-4-Way Match to win the #10 spot in Monarch's Warfare.

On Liberty #1, Hugo Strange announced an 8-Man Ladder Match to determine the first-ever A.W.A.C. Online Champion at Proceed With Caution. Initially, Mike Berkley was announced for this match, but after a dark match prior to Liberty #2, Riku attacked him and gave him a concussion, ruling him out of the match. Hugo confronted Riku and said that if he could beat Lester Barkley on the next episode, he would be inserted into the Ladder Match. On Liberty #3, Riku quickly won by DQ after Lester hit him with a steel chair; the reason being Lester wanted Riku in the match to gain revenge on him following National Pro Wrestling Day. In addition to Lester and Riku, the remaining 6 participants are Nazareth, War Bacon, Metallo, Rick Grimes, and the recently-debuted Armor King and Hush.

Back at Summer Slamboree 2018, after Seth Rollins became the last-ever A.W.A.C. 5-Star Champion, Dean Ambrose returned and knocked out Seth with the title. On Liberty #1, after Seth beat Metallo, Dean once again attacked Seth after the match. On Liberty #3, Seth cut a promo on Dean, now going by his former ring name Jon Moxley, accepting his challenge at Proceed With Caution. On Liberty #1, Cell cut a promo demanding an A.W.A.C. United States Heavyweight title shot, but Cell was interrupted and taken out by the debuting Edward Elric. On Liberty #2, after Edward beat the champion Lance Maverick, Cell came out and laid out Edward. After that happened, the debuting Bobby Roode came out and laid out Lance. On Liberty #3, Bobby Roode and Malcolm McDermott defeated the team of Lance Maverick and Cell. Now, at Proceed With Caution, Edward Elric will face Cell and Lance Maverick will defend his A.W.A.C. United States Heavyweight Championship against Bobby Roode.
