This was the final appearance of the NWA World Tag Team Championship on a WCW Pay Per View. The titles were won by Arn Anderson and Paul Roma in August 1993 at Clash of Champions XXIV, then WCW withdrew from the NWA in September 1993, and the titles would no longer be defended together; the NWA did not fill the vacancy for nearly two years; finally having a tournament in July 1995 which was won by the Rock and Roll Express.
The card underwent several changes, as Brad Armstrong replaced his father Bob Armstrong in the Legends Tag Team Match and The Prisoner replaced Scott Norton in the Bounty Match with Sting. In the WCW/NWA World Tag Team Championship steel cage match, Tom Zenk replaced Shane Douglas as Ricky Steamboat's partner in the masked Dos Hombres team. However, the announcers pretended throughout the match that Steamboat's partner was Douglas.
