The event was pirate-themed, due to its summer elements. After being fired as a client by "The Lawyer" Chad Malcolm, Travis Anderson returned several weeks later as a member of the House Of Ashes. He revealed he was brought back by The Captain's rogue alter-ego The Shape, and his new contract included a World Title match at PromoSlam. This will be the fourth consecutive PromoSlam main event for Anderson, and is two years since he faced The Shape in the main event of PromoSlam 2020. On the July 21st episode of Max Wrestling, new Television Champion issued an open promo challenge for his title at this event. After losing his Knowledge Title to Anderson at Trivia Takeover: Lucky Number 7, The Phoenix then survived the Jester's Justice to earn a one on one rematch at PromoSlam. At Fight For The Knowledge, The Phoenix issued a challenge to The Demoness to face him in a promo exhibition at PromoSlam. The Demoness has only made one appearance since fall of 2021, answering Marquez's challenge at Trivia Takeover: Lucky Number 7. event
Unfortunately, Anderson tested positive for Covid-19 the day before the event, meaning planned scenes for the main event had to be changed. His Knowledge Title defence against The Phoenix was also postponed by two weeks to take place on a special episode of Max Wrestling called "Tidal Wave". Due to the Knowledge Championship not being defended, The Phoenix did not appear live on the show, but did provide his promo. His challenge to The Demoness went unanswered, therefore Phoenix expressed his disappointment but extended the challenge to a time of her choosing. After his promo, Phoenix was attacked from behind by an unknown assailant. A gavel was then seen on the ground next to his body. Marquez's open challenge for his Television Championship was answered by Cypher. However during Cypher's promo, he was attacked by Marquez - led by Anderson. Marquez then cut a promo confirming his status as a member of the House Of Ashes. In the main event, The Captain took his role literally and became lost in his own imagination as he became a drunken pirate. The Captain was confronted by a skeletal figure called Draiman, who guided him through Davy's Locker, before informing The Captain that he had a reprieve due to Anderson's sickness. The more lucid version of The Captain then cut a promo celebrating his victory and announced was taking the next week of to celebrate further. Matches
