On April 23, 2024, the NWA announced that Back to the Territories would take place on June 1, 2024, at Karns High School in Knoxville, Tennessee.

[4][5] The event will feature a number professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines.

Wrestlers are portrayed as either heels (those that portray the "bad guys"), faces (the "good guy" characters), or tweeners (characters that are neither clearly a heel or a face) as they follow a series of tension-building events, which culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches as determined by the promotion.

Storylines were played out on the eighteenth season of the NWA's weekly series, Powerrr.
