The event comprised ten matches, including three on the Kickoff pre-show, that resulted from scripted storylines.

AtCrown Jewel,Brock Lesnar defeatedBraun Strowman to regain the then-vacant Universal Championship, thanks in part to then-Acting Raw General ManagerBaron Corbin.[14] At TLC, Strowman defeated Corbin in aTables, Ladders, and Chairs match, thus stripping Corbin of his authoritative power and earning a Universal Championship match against Lesnar at the Royal Rumble.[11] On the January 14 episode ofRaw, Corbin confronted Strowman and insulted him, leading to a chase to the parking area where Corbin hid in a limousine. Strowman shattered the glass and broke the door off, only for WWE ChairmanVince McMahon to appear, revealing that was his limo. Mr. McMahon then fined Strowman $100,000. Strowman then argued with Mr. McMahon, who then cancelled his match with Lesnar. An angry Strowman proceeded to flip over the limo. Later that night,John Cena,Drew McIntyre, Corbin, andFinn Bálor expressed their interests in facing Lesnar at the Royal Rumble. Mr. McMahon scheduled afatal four-way match where the winner would face Lesnar, which Bálor won after defending his spot earlier in the night against Jinder Mahal.

After she, Flair, and Carmella all pleaded their cases for why they deserved a title opportunity on the January 1, 2019, episode ofSmackDown, WWE Chief Operating Officer Triple H scheduled a triple threat match between the three for the following week to determine Asuka's challenger at the Royal Rumble,[16] which was won by Lynch.[17]
At TLC,Ronda Rousey retained the Raw Women's Championship againstNia Jax.[11] On the January 7, 2019, episode ofRaw, Rousey appeared onAlexa Bliss' interview segment, "A Moment of Bliss", and stated that she wanted to faceSasha Banks next, believing Banks to be a true test of her abilities. Jax interrupted, wanting a rematch against Rousey. Banks then came out and challenged Jax to a match in which the winner would face Rousey for the Raw Women's Championship at the Royal Rumble, which Banks won.[18]
At Crown Jewel, Shane McMahon won the WWE World Cup, replacingThe Miz in the finals, who was deemed unable to compete due to a pre-match brawl.[14] Following this, The Miz began a pursuit to form a tag team with Shane, claiming that they could be the best tag team in the world. Shane finally agreed to the pairing, and on the January 8, 2019, episode ofSmackDown, Miz challengedThe Bar (Cesaro andSheamus) for theSmackDown Tag Team Championship at the Royal Rumble, and The Bar accepted.[17]
