Storylines
Storylines are how you turn random matches into must-watch wrestling.
What Storylines Do
- Give matches emotional stakes.
- Help fans understand who matters.
- Build clear paths to title matches and grudge blowoffs.
🧱 Building a Strong Feud
- Pick rivals with clear contrast.
- Start with a trigger moment (callout, betrayal, ambush).
- Escalate weekly with variety.
- Pay it off on a meaningful show.
🔁 Keep Feuds Moving
- Every week should add a new beat.
- Mix matches and talking segments.
- Let wins and losses change the tone.
- End feuds before they go stale.
Filter by Show
If you run multiple shows, keep storyline ownership clear:
- Most beats stay on one show.
- Crossovers happen on purpose.
- Major collisions happen on premium events.
Storyline Booking Tips
- One top feud should headline your promotion at all times.
- Mid-card feuds build your next main-eventers.
- Don't be afraid to end a storyline and start the next chapter.
