|father=Montgomery Kirk}}'''Matthew Montgomery Johnathan Kirk''' (born 16 March 1963) is a Monsatad businessman and politician who has served as Prime Minister of Monsatadt since 2017. He is the outgoing Leader of the [[Forward Party of Monsatadt|Forward Party of Monsatadt]] having served in the position since 2017, and announcing his resignation on 20 February 2026 over allegations of falsifying business records and links to convicted businessman and sex offender, James W. Thompson. He previously held two Cabinet positions under predecessor George Peterson, as Secretary for Labour and Welfare from 2011 til 2015 and as Secretary for Business and Commerce from 2015 until his appointment as Prime Minister. As a member of the [[Forward Party of Monsatadt|Forward Party]] he has served as the Member of Parliament for Southgate's 21st District since the 2009 by-election.

Kirk was born in Southgate Valley in 1963 to an upper class family as the eldest of 3 children. He attended Southgate Charles III Academy for Boys, a private boarding school, before moving on to Royal Sutton University where he received a Master of Business Administration in 1987. He began working at Goldman Sachs shortly after before he joined Thompson's Investment Management in 1992. Kirk rose through the company eventually sitting on the board of directors from 2004 until 2009.

Kirk reportedly joined the Christian Democratic Party, the precursor to Forward, in 1980 after attending the party conference that year. Kirk was a donor to both the CDP and Forward donating over 3.4 million francs between 1994 and 2009. Kirk opposed the party rebranding in 2007, though later accepted it in 2010. Kirk applied to stand in the by-election for Southgate's 21st District for Forward in 2009, despite living over 100 miles away from the district. He won the by-election securing 59.2% of the vote and a majority of 5,000. In 2010, Kirk was appointed to the Shadow Cabinet in the Labour and Welfare brief, a role he would later assume in the Cabinet. During his time as Labour and Welfare Secretary, Kirk faced immense criticism over the way he handled the 2013-14 Monsatad strikes with many political opponents calling for his dismissal. In 2015, Kirk was moved to the Business Department, assuming the role of Secretary for Business and Commerce. In 2017, following the resignation of George Peterson, Kirk announced his bid for leadership and went on to win the election, beating opponents in the second round with 58.1% of the vote.

Kirk was elected as Prime Minister by the Monsatad Parliament on 12 June 2017, being appointed by the Queen the next day. Under Kirk, the Forward Party began to adopt a more pragmatic agenda. In 2018, Kirk announced a general election would be held in June coinciding with local elections on the same day. Despite commentators predicting the results would reduce the overall Forward majority, the Forward Party increased their majority to 32 seats. During Kirk's second term, Kirk attempted to focus on environmental issues passing the widely praised Environment Act 2018. In 2020, Monsatadt was struck by the coronavirus pandemic causing Kirk to call a national lockdown in late March 2020.

The '''2026 Forward Party leadership election''' is an ongoing leadership election to determine [[Matthew Kirk|Matthew Kirk's]] successor as Leader of the Forward Party and presumably Prime Minister of Monsatadt.

Kirk was elected in 2017 to succeed George Peterson after he resigned for personal reasons, later revealed as a long term health issue. He defeated 3 other candidates in the second round of voting securing 58.1% of the total vote. Later on, he called an election for the June of 2018 where he was able to secure a majority government. Kirk's government presided over the Coronavirus pandemic which, due to earlier intervention, limited in it's impact in Monsatadt. Kirk went on to win a second election in 2022 receiving a 27 seat majority. Following the election victory, Kirk's government focused on economic issues surrounding concerns of rising inflation and rising interest rates. In 2023, Kirk's approval hit a negative and has not recovered since.

In 2021, prominent businessman and former employer of Kirk James W. Thompson was arrested and convicted on sexual offence charges. Kirk denied all knowledge of Thompson's crimes, though he allegedly knew of the Thompson's faulty business practices. Thompson was convicted on further charges relating to fraud and faulty business practices in 2025. In 2026, it was revealed that Kirk falsified business records when Thompson used company money to hirer and pay hush money to a prostitute and 2 strippers in 2004. Police later opened up a police investigation into Kirk, becoming the first prime minister to be under criminal investigation. Under increasing pressure and following several ministerial resignations, Kirk resigned as leader of Forward on the 20 February.

The '''2026 Forward Party leadership election''' is an ongoing leadership election to determine [[Matthew Kirk|Matthew Kirk's]] successor as Leader of the Forward Party and presumably Prime Minister of Monsatadt.

Kirk was elected in 2017 to succeed George Peterson after he resigned for personal reasons, later revealed as a long term health issue. He defeated 3 other candidates in the second round of voting securing 58.1% of the total vote. Later on, he called an election for the June of 2018 where he was able to secure a majority government. Kirk's government presided over the Coronavirus pandemic which, due to earlier intervention, limited in it's impact in Monsatadt. Kirk went on to win a second election in 2022 receiving a 27 seat majority. Following the election victory, Kirk's government focused on economic issues surrounding concerns of rising inflation and rising interest rates. In 2023, Kirk's approval hit a negative and has not recovered since.

In 2021, prominent businessman and former employer of Kirk James W. Thompson was arrested and convicted on sexual offence charges. Kirk denied all knowledge of Thompson's crimes, though he allegedly knew of the Thompson's faulty business practices. Thompson was convicted on further charges relating to fraud and faulty business practices in 2025. In 2026, it was revealed that Kirk falsified business records when Thompson used company money to hirer and pay hush money to a prostitute and 2 strippers in 2004. Police later opened up a police investigation into Kirk, becoming the first prime minister to be under criminal investigation. Under increasing pressure and following several ministerial resignations, Kirk resigned as leader of Forward on the 20 February.

The '''2026 Forward Party leadership election''' is an ongoing leadership election to determine [[Matthew Kirk|Matthew Kirk's]] successor as Leader of the Forward Party and presumably Prime Minister of Monsatadt.

Kirk was elected in 2017 to succeed George Peterson after he resigned for personal reasons, later revealed as a long term health issue. He defeated 3 other candidates in the second round of voting securing 58.1% of the total vote. Later on, he called an election for the June of 2018 where he was able to secure a majority government. Kirk's government presided over the Coronavirus pandemic which, due to earlier intervention, limited in it's impact in Monsatadt. Kirk went on to win a second election in 2022 receiving a 27 seat majority. Following the election victory, Kirk's government focused on economic issues surrounding concerns of rising inflation and rising interest rates. In 2023, Kirk's approval hit a negative and has not recovered since.

In 2021, prominent businessman and former employer of Kirk James W. Thompson was arrested and convicted on sexual offence charges. Kirk denied all knowledge of Thompson's crimes, though he allegedly knew of the Thompson's faulty business practices. Thompson was convicted on further charges relating to fraud and faulty business practices in 2025. In 2026, it was revealed that Kirk falsified business records when Thompson used company money to hirer and pay hush money to a prostitute and 2 strippers in 2004. Police later opened up a police investigation into Kirk, becoming the first prime minister to be under criminal investigation. Under increasing pressure and following several ministerial resignations, Kirk resigned as leader of Forward on the 20 February.

The '''2026 Forward Party leadership election''' is an ongoing leadership election to determine [[Matthew Kirk|Matthew Kirk's]] successor as Leader of the Forward Party and presumably Prime Minister of Monsatadt.

Kirk was elected in 2017 to succeed George Peterson after he resigned for personal reasons, later revealed as a long term health issue. He defeated 3 other candidates in the second round of voting securing 58.1% of the total vote. Later on, he called an election for the June of 2018 where he was able to secure a majority government. Kirk's government presided over the Coronavirus pandemic which, due to earlier intervention, limited in it's impact in Monsatadt. Kirk went on to win a second election in 2022 receiving a 27 seat majority. Following the election victory, Kirk's government focused on economic issues surrounding concerns of rising inflation and rising interest rates. In 2023, Kirk's approval hit a negative and has not recovered since.

In 2021, prominent businessman and former employer of Kirk James W. Thompson was arrested and convicted on sexual offence charges. Kirk denied all knowledge of Thompson's crimes, though he allegedly knew of the Thompson's faulty business practices. Thompson was convicted on further charges relating to fraud and faulty business practices in 2025. In 2026, it was revealed that Kirk falsified business records when Thompson used company money to hirer and pay hush money to a prostitute and 2 strippers in 2004. Police later opened up a police investigation into Kirk, becoming the first prime minister to be under criminal investigation. Under increasing pressure and following several ministerial resignations, Kirk resigned as leader of Forward on the 20 February.

He began working at Goldman Sachs shortly after before he joined Thompson's Investment Management in 1992. Kirk rose through the company eventually sitting on the board of directors from 2004 until 2009.

Kirk reportedly joined the Christian Democratic Party, the precursor to Forward, in 1980 after attending the party conference that year. Kirk was a donor to both the CDP and Forward donating over 3.4 million francs between 1994 and 2009. Kirk opposed the party rebranding in 2007, though later accepted it in 2010. Kirk applied to stand in the by-election for Southgate's 21st District for Forward in 2009, despite living over 100 miles away from the district. He won the by-election securing 59.2% of the vote and a majority of 5,000. In 2010, Kirk was appointed to the Shadow Cabinet in the Labour and Welfare brief, a role he would later assume in the Cabinet. During his time as Labour and Welfare Secretary, Kirk faced immense criticism over the way he handled the 2013-14 Monsatad strikes with many political opponents calling for his dismissal. In 2015, Kirk was moved to the Business Department, assuming the role of Secretary for Business and Commerce. In 2017, following the resignation of George Peterson, Kirk announced his bid for leadership and went on to win the election, beating opponents in the second round with 58.1% of the vote.

Kirk was elected as Prime Minister by the Monsatad Parliament on 12 June 2017, being appointed by the Queen the next day. Under Kirk, the Forward Party began to adopt a more pragmatic agenda. In 2018, Kirk announced a general election would be held in June coinciding with local elections on the same day. Despite commentators predicting the results would reduce the overall Forward majority, the Forward Party increased their majority to 32 seats.

The '''2026 Forward Party leadership election''' is an ongoing leadership election to determine [[Matthew Kirk|Matthew Kirk's]] successor as Leader of the Forward Party and presumably Prime Minister of Monsatadt.

Kirk was elected in 2017 to succeed George Peterson after he resigned for personal reasons, later revealed as a long term health issue. He defeated 3 other candidates in the second round of voting securing 58.1% of the total vote. Later on, he called an election for the June of 2018 where he was able to secure a majority government. Kirk's government presided over the Coronavirus pandemic which, due to earlier intervention, limited in it's impact in Monsatadt. Kirk went on to win a second election in 2022 receiving a 27 seat majority. Following the election victory, Kirk's government focused on economic issues surrounding concerns of rising inflation and rising interest rates. In 2023, Kirk's approval hit a negative and has not recovered since.

In 2021, prominent businessman and former employer of Kirk James W. Thompson was arrested and convicted on sexual offence charges. Kirk denied all knowledge of Thompson's crimes, though he allegedly knew of the Thompson's faulty business practices. Thompson was convicted on further charges relating to fraud and faulty business practices in 2025. In 2026, it was revealed that Kirk falsified business records when Thompson used company money to hirer and pay hush money to a prostitute and 2 strippers in 2004. Police later opened up a police investigation into Kirk, becoming the first prime minister to be under criminal investigation. Under increasing pressure and following several ministerial resignations, Kirk resigned as leader of Forward on the 20 February.

The '''2026 Forward Party leadership election''' is an ongoing leadership election to determine [[Matthew Kirk|Matthew Kirk's]] successor as Leader of the Forward Party and presumably Prime Minister of Monsatadt.

Kirk was elected in 2017 to succeed George Peterson after he resigned for personal reasons, later revealed as a long term health issue. He defeated 3 other candidates in the second round of voting securing 58.1% of the total vote. Later on, he called an election for the June of 2018 where he was able to secure a majority government. Kirk's government presided over the Coronavirus pandemic which, due to earlier intervention, limited in it's impact in Monsatadt. Kirk went on to win a second election in 2022 receiving a 27 seat majority. Following the election victory, Kirk's government focused on economic issues surrounding concerns of rising inflation and rising interest rates. In 2023, Kirk's approval hit a negative and has not recovered since.

In 2021, prominent businessman and former employer of Kirk James W. Thompson was arrested and convicted on sexual offence charges. Kirk denied all knowledge of Thompson's crimes, though he allegedly knew of the Thompson's faulty business practices. Thompson was convicted on further charges relating to fraud and faulty business practices in 2025. In 2026, it was revealed that Kirk falsified business records when Thompson used company money to hirer and pay hush money to a prostitute and 2 strippers in 2004. Police later opened up a police investigation into Kirk, becoming the first prime minister to be under criminal investigation. Under increasing pressure and following several ministerial resignations, Kirk resigned as leader of Forward on the 20 February.

The '''2026 Forward Party leadership election''' is an ongoing leadership election to determine [[Matthew Kirk|Matthew Kirk's]] successor as Leader of the Forward Party and presumably Prime Minister of Monsatadt.

Kirk was elected in 2017 to succeed George Peterson after he resigned for personal reasons, later revealed as a long term health issue. He defeated 3 other candidates in the second round of voting securing 58.1% of the total vote. Later on, he called an election for the June of 2018 where he was able to secure a majority government. Kirk's government presided over the Coronavirus pandemic which, due to earlier intervention, limited in it's impact in Monsatadt. Kirk went on to win a second election in 2022 receiving a 27 seat majority. Following the election victory, Kirk's government focused on economic issues surrounding concerns of rising inflation and rising interest rates. In 2023, Kirk's approval hit a negative and has not recovered since.

In 2021, prominent businessman and former employer of Kirk James W. Thompson was arrested and convicted on sexual offence charges. Kirk denied all knowledge of Thompson's crimes, though he allegedly knew of the Thompson's faulty business practices. Thompson was convicted on further charges relating to fraud and faulty business practices in 2025. In 2026, it was revealed that Kirk falsified business records when Thompson used company money to hirer and pay hush money to a prostitute and 2 strippers in 2004. Police later opened up a police investigation into Kirk, becoming the first prime minister to be under criminal investigation. Under increasing pressure and following several ministerial resignations, Kirk resigned as leader of Forward on the 20 February.

The '''2026 Forward Party leadership election''' is an ongoing leadership election to determine [[Matthew Kirk|Matthew Kirk's]] successor as Leader of the Forward Party and presumably Prime Minister of Monsatadt.

Kirk was elected in 2017 to succeed George Peterson after he resigned for personal reasons, later revealed as a long term health issue. He defeated 3 other candidates in the second round of voting securing 58.1% of the total vote. Later on, he called an election for the June of 2018 where he was able to secure a majority government. Kirk's government presided over the Coronavirus pandemic which, due to earlier intervention, limited in it's impact in Monsatadt. Kirk went on to win a second election in 2022 receiving a 27 seat majority. Following the election victory, Kirk's government focused on economic issues surrounding concerns of rising inflation and rising interest rates. In 2023, Kirk's approval hit a negative and has not recovered since.

In 2021, prominent businessman and former employer of Kirk James W. Thompson was arrested and convicted on sexual offence charges. Kirk denied all knowledge of Thompson's crimes, though he allegedly knew of the Thompson's faulty business practices. Thompson was convicted on further charges relating to fraud and faulty business practices in 2025. In 2026, it was revealed that Kirk falsified business records when Thompson used company money to hirer and pay hush money to a prostitute and 2 strippers in 2004.

|father=Montgomery Kirk}}'''Matthew Montgomery Johnathan Kirk''' (born 16 March 1963) is a Monsatad businessman and politician who has served as Prime Minister of Monsatadt since 2017. He is the outgoing Leader of the [[Forward Party of Monsatadt|Forward Party of Monsatadt]] having served in the position since 2017, and announcing his resignation on 20 February 2026 over allegations of falsifying business records and links to convicted businessman and sex offender, James W. Thompson. He previously held two Cabinet positions under predecessor George Peterson, as Secretary for Labour and Welfare from 2011 til 2015 and as Secretary for Business and Commerce from 2015 until his appointment as Prime Minister. As a member of the [[Forward Party of Monsatadt|Forward Party]] he has served as the Member of Parliament for Southgate's 21st District since the 2009 by-election.

Kirk was born in Southgate Valley in 1963 to an upper class family as the eldest of 3 children. He attended Southgate Charles III Academy for Boys, a private boarding school, before moving on to Royal Sutton University where he received a Master of Business Administration in 1987. He began working at Goldman Sachs shortly after before he joined Thompson's Investment Management in 1992. Kirk rose through the company eventually sitting on the board of directors from 2004 until 2009.

Kirk reportedly joined the Christian Democratic Party, the precursor to Forward, in 1980 after attending the party conference that year. Kirk was a donor to both the CDP and Forward donating over 3.4 million francs between 1994 and 2009. Kirk opposed the party rebranding in 2007, though later accepted it in 2010. Kirk applied to stand in the by-election for Southgate's 21st District for Forward in 2009, despite living over 100 miles away from the district. He won the by-election securing 59.2% of the vote and a majority of 5,000. In 2010, Kirk was appointed to the Shadow Cabinet in the Labour and Welfare brief, a role he would later assume in the Cabinet. During his time as Labour and Welfare Secretary, Kirk faced immense criticism over the way he handled the 2013-14 Monsatad strikes with many political opponents calling for his dismissal. In 2015, Kirk was moved to the Business Department, assuming the role of Secretary for Business and Commerce. In 2017, following the resignation of George Peterson, Kirk announced his bid for leadership and went on to win the election, beating opponents in the second round with 58.1% of the vote.

Kirk was elected as Prime Minister by the Monsatad Parliament on 12 June 2017, being appointed by the Queen the next day. Under Kirk, the Forward Party began to adopt a more pragmatic agenda. In 2018, Kirk announced a general election would be held in June coinciding with local elections on the same day. Despite commentators predicting the results would reduce the overall Forward majority, the Forward Party increased their majority to 32 seats.

The '''Kingdom of Monsatadt''', commonly known as '''Monsatadt'''; also referred to as the '''Third Kingdom of Monsatadt''', is a country in northern Europe off the coast of Scandinavia and the continental mainland in the North Sea, with an estimated population of 42.5 million. It's capital and largest city is Sutton, on the East side of the island with a population of over 5.5 million. It shares no land borders with any state and is entirely surrounded by the North Sea. It is a unitary parliamentary constitutional republic having been so since 1956. It's legislature is made up of an upper house; the Senate and a lower house; the House of Representatives. The head of state is the monarch of Mosatadt who serves in a ceremonial role, and the head of government is the Prime Minister, elected by Parliament and appointed by the monarch, who appoints and chairs the government.

Monsatadt has been inhabited continuously since the Stone Age. In 1026, the Charter of Monsatadt was signed unifying the island into one nation for the first time with Christopher the Great becoming the first monarch. From that point Monsatadt acted as a traditional feudal kingdom until 1488, when Henry VI established a Parliament though under his direct control. In 1674, Parliament overthrew the kingdom and established a commonwealth which lasted until 1692. Following the end of the commonwealth, the Compromise of 1699 was signed making Parliament sovereign. In 1921, the monarchy was abolished for the second time creating a republic. Plagued by corruption and instability, the republic ended after Philip Conrad came to power and created a fascist authoritarian dictatorship which lasted until 1952. In 1956, the house of Monsatadt was restored creating the modern Monsatad state.

Monsatadt is a developed country with one of the strongest economies in the world. Monsatadt is a member of the Council of Europe, European Union, OECD, and the Partnership for Peace. It has been a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation since 2013. Monsatadt maintains the twentieth largest GDP (nominal) in the world, with economists describing the current economy as social democratic with liberal characteristics.

The '''Kingdom of Monsatadt''', commonly known as '''Monsatadt'''; also referred to as the '''Third Kingdom of Monsatadt''', is a country in northern Europe off the coast of Scandinavia and the continental mainland in the North Sea, with an estimated population of 42.5 million. It's capital and largest city is Sutton, on the East side of the island with a population of over 5.5 million. It shares no land borders with any state and is entirely surrounded by the North Sea. It is a unitary parliamentary constitutional republic having been so since 1956. It's legislature is made up of an upper house; the Senate and a lower house; the House of Representatives. The head of state is the monarch of Mosatadt who serves in a ceremonial role, and the head of government is the Prime Minister, elected by Parliament and appointed by the monarch, who appoints and chairs the government.

Monsatadt has been inhabited continuously since the Stone Age. In 1026, the Charter of Monsatadt was signed unifying the island into one nation for the first time with Christopher the Great becoming the first monarch. From that point Monsatadt acted as a traditional feudal kingdom until 1488, when Henry VI established a Parliament though under his direct control. In 1674, Parliament overthrew the kingdom and established a commonwealth which lasted until 1692. Following the end of the commonwealth, the Compromise of 1699 was signed making Parliament sovereign. In 1921, the monarchy was abolished for the second time creating a republic. Plagued by corruption and instability, the republic ended after Philip Conrad came to power and created a fascist authoritarian dictatorship which lasted until 1952. In 1956, the house of Monsatadt was restored creating the modern Monsatad state.

Monsatadt is a developed country with one of the strongest economies in the world. Monsatadt is a member of the Council of Europe, European Union, OECD, and the Partnership for Peace. Whilst it has rejected NATO membership throughout the 21st century, it maintains a close working relationship with the bloc. Monsatadt maintains the twentieth largest GDP (nominal) in the world, with economists describing the current economy as social democratic with liberal characteristics.

It will be the 37th Royal Rumble event, 32nd under WCW, and will take place on February 28, 2026, at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, held for wrestlers from the promotion's main roster, EPW brand, and AAA worldwide brand. The event is based around the [[Royal Rumble|Royal Rumble match]], and the winner receives a world championship match at that year's WrestleMania for their respective division.

== Production ==

=== Background ===
The Royal Rumble is an annual professional wrestling event that is traditionally held in February by the American company World Championship Wrestling since 1995. It was formerly produced by WWE, prior to the purchase of WWE by WCW in 1991. It is one of the companies six major events of the year, alongside WrestleMania, Money in the Bank, SummerSlam, WarGames, and Starrcade referred to as the "Big Six". The concept of the event is based around the Royal Rumble match, a modified battle royal in which the participants enter at timed intervals instead of all beginning in the ring at the same time.

On June 28, 2025, it was announced at Money in the Bank that the 32nd Royal Rumble was scheduled to occur Saturday, February 28, 2026 and it to feature wrestlers from all 3 rosters of WCW. On August 21, 2025, it was announced by the Mayor of the Greater Toronto Area, Ali Ehsassi, that the city would host the Royal Rumble event during a press conference. This will be the first Royal Rumble in Ontario, and the third in the Imperial Commonwealth of Nations after the event being held in London in 2013 and 2025. It is due to be broadcast live on the WCW Network in most markets. In addition to the WCW Network, in the United Kingdom it will be broadcast on BBC and IBC as part of an ongoing deal between WCW and the BBC. Within Ontario, the event will be broadcast by NOBA on Channel 1. The official theme song of the event is "Sayonara" by Irish rap group Kneecap featuring British musician Paul Hartnoll, who are set to perform the song during the event.

The Royal Rumble match typically features 40 wrestlers in the men's match and 30 wrestlers in the women's match. The winner of the matches receives a title shot at the WCW World Heavyweight championship or at the WCW Women's World championship in a match at WrestleMania 38 where the defending champion chooses the match type.

=== Storylines ===
The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by WCW's writers, while storylines are produced on WCW's weekly television shows, ''Monday Night Nitro, EPW Live, Lucha Underground,'' and ''Friday Night Battleground.''

At SuperBrawl XXXVI, Matt Cardona won a Triple Threat match for the WCW World Heavyweight championship by pinning the champion, [[Walter (wrestler)|Walter]]. Following the match, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, who was the other competitor in the Triple Threat, attacked Cardona until he was escorted out the arena by security. On Monday Night Nitro, as Friedman cut a promo, Cardona interrupted him and confronted him over their brawl. Afterwards, Cardona began to walk back up the ramp to which Friedman accused him of being a chicken. Cardona returned to the ring to deny the claim, causing Friedman to challenge him to a match later that night, which should he win he would receive a title shot at the Royal Rumble. Cardona accepted, on the condition that should Friedman lose, he wouldn't be allowed to enter the Royal Rumble match. During their match, Friedman hit a low blow on Cardona whilst the referee was distracted then pinned him to win the match thus making their match official. The following week on Nitro, Cardona confronted Friedman about to low blow to which Friedman accepted he played dirty however challenged Cardona to a street fight at the Royal Rumble. Cardona accepted the match stipulation under the condition that Cardona would be allowed bodyguards outside the ring.

Mr Iguana announced on the Monday Night Nitro on February 9th 2026 that he would defend his cruiserweight championship in a Six Pack ladder match. Qualifying matches are ongoing with Kota Ibushi and Swoggle both qualifying from matches on the same episode against Roderick Strong and Kit Wilson respectively, Drew Gulak defeating Ricochet on the Friday the 13th Battleground special, and Leon Slater defeating La Parka on Monday Night Nitro.

On Monday Night Nitro after SuperBrawl, Claudio Castagnoli and other members turned on Marcel Barthel, officially breaking up Imperium for the third time and plunging the faction into a civil war, and aligned with Don Callis and Kyle Fletcher. The following Battleground, Barthel confronted Callis demanding to speak to Castagnoli to which Callis said he would be at the next Battleground. Barthel, appearing with Giovanni Vinci and Malakai Black, declared on Nitro the following Monday that he had his eyes set on Castagnoli. The following Battleground, Castagnoli and Barthel met and argued with each other before it descended into a brawl. After the brawl was broken up, WCW General Manager Chris Jericho announced that a match between the two men would occur at the Royal Rumble.
