The NWA 70th Anniversary Show featured nine professional wrestling matches scripted by the NWA and the Tried-N-True Wrestling (TNT) promotion, with some of the wrestlers involved in scripted feuds leading to the matches. The wrestlers portray either heels (those that play the part of the "bad guys"), faces ('the "good guy" characters) or "tweeners" (who straddle the line between face and heel) as they perform in and out of the ring.[5] Storylines were played out through the NWA's Ten Pounds of Gold documentary series on YouTube.[6]

In the lead up to the

NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis would defend the championship against Cody as part of the show.[7][8] In the lead up to All In, Cody challenged for the ROH World Championship at Ring of Honor's Best in the World, but he failed to win the match, even with Aldis trying to help Cody win the match.[9][10] Cody received a second title opportunity during the June 30 tapings of Ring of Honor Wrestling but lost again.[11] At All In, Cody defeated Aldis to become the 96th overall NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion.[12][13] Following All In, Nick Aldis defeated Doug Williams to earn the rights to challenge for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship once more.[14] After Aldis' victory, the NWA announced that Nick Aldis would get his championship rematch at the NWA 70th Anniversary Show under best two-out-of-three falls rules.[14]

When Billy Corgan purchased the NWA, the company declared that all NWA branded championships were vacated, except for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship (held by

Sam Shaw, Ricky Starks, and Willie Mack.[17]
