Info
The main feud entering Battle Finale was between YCW color commentator Shannon Saint and Eric Redgate. At the time when their feud became public. Redgate was holding the YCW World Heavyweight Championship, but that changed when Saint costed Redgate the championship by helping Orlando Cruz become champion. From there, The Enforcer, Cruz and later Aaron Thomas formed The Saint's Army. The Saint's Army then focused their attention towards Phillip Mustang, who was granted a shot at the title after being the runner up in the Struggle for Power Battlefield. The group focused in on him until Da Xtreme Dynasty was proved to be his back up. Mr. Baller was added into the mix as Team Baller formed an alliance with the Saint's Army.

The secondary feud heading into Battle Finale was between Israel Steele and "Mr. Intensity" Kerry Collins. The Collins-Steele feud has had a bit of history dating back to the CWF days when "The Nitemare" Rob Osbourne was feuding with Israel's brother "The Ruler" Paul Blair. Steele and Collins each won shots at the newly formed YCW Platinum Championship by defeating Leon Lonewolf and Danielle Lopez respectably.

The third feud heading into Battle Finale was between The Lopez Dynasty and Team Baller. The rivalry from these two teams originated when James Baker and Mr. Baller started their feud in WZCW. It escalated into the CWF where Da Xtreme Dynasty reigned as the champions. A few days before the event. Leo Hawkins and Terrell Ryder added The Dark Scorpions and Da Xtreme Dynasty into the match to make it a four way match for the YCW World Tag Team Championship.

Also, during a press conference to hype up the event. It was announced that James Baker would be hosting the first chapter of the event, YCW owners Terrell "Money" Ryder and Leo Hawkins as well as Tyler Brownlee and Leon Lonewolf would host the second chapter and Terry Richards and The Legion of Shadows would host the third and final chapter of the show.
