Background

On February 15, Impact Wrestling announced that they would hold two events at WrestleCon on April 1; Multiverse of Matches was one of these events, and would be featuring Impact talent in cross-promotional matches with other professional wrestling promotions. It was announced that Multiverse of Matches would take place on April 1, 2022, at the Fairmount Hotel in Dallas, Texas. [1] [2]

Storylines

The event featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. [3] Owing to the event's multiverse theme, storylines were not only produced on Impact's weekly television program but also through platforms used by the other represented promotions. [4] [5] [6]

At NWA PowerrrTrip, a television taping for NWA Powerrr held on February 12, Impact Digital Media Champion Matt Cardona defeated Trevor Murdoch to win the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship. [7] [8] He would then be confronted by Nick Aldis (previously known as Magnus during his time with Impact Wrestling, which itself was called Total Nonstop Action Wrestling during that period), the man who Murdoch beat to become the champion, who announced he would enact his rematch clause to face Cardona for the title at the Crockett Cup event. [9] At the event, on March 20, Cardona would win the match and retain the title when special guest referee Jeff Jarrett mistakenly believed he was given a low blow by Aldis' wife, Mickie James, when it was actually Cardona's wife, Chelsea Green. [10] Though Green had been allied with James, and the latter had remained neutral in their husband's rivalry, Green would turn on James on the March 24 episode of Impact! (which was taped before the Crockett Cup on March 18) [11] during the latter's Impact Knockouts World Championship match against Tasha Steelz, and would join Cardona in attacking her after the match. [12] [13] On March 25, it was announced that Aldis and James would team up to face Cardona and Green in an Intergender tag team match at Multiverse of Matches. [14]
