St. Patrick's Day Slam featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[7] Storylines were produced on AEW's weekly television program, Dynamite, the supplementary online streaming shows, Dark and Elevation, and The Young Bucks' YouTube series Being The Elite.
At the event, Christian Cage addressed the reason behind his arrival in AEW.[8]
Through a working relationship with Impact Wrestling this event featured the Impact World Tag Team Champions The Good Brothers as they took on All Elite Wrestling's Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston.[9] [10]
In the main event, Thunder Rosa faced off against Britt Baker in an unsanctioned Lights Out match, making it the first time an AEW event was headlined by female wrestlers.[11] [12]
