Production
Background
Professional wrestling has a long running tradition of holding shows that feature several championship matches, and at times actually promoting shows as an "all championship matches" shows. The earliest documented "All-Championship" show is the EMLL Carnaval de Campeones ("Carnival of Champions") held on January 13, 1965.[1] In 2007, WWE held a pay-per-view called Vengeance: Night of Champions, making WWE Night of Champions a recurring theme.[2] Starting in 2008, the Mexican lucha libre promotion International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) has held a regular major show labeled Caravana de Campeones, Spanish for "Caravan of Champions" using the same concept for a major annual show.[3] All Caravana de Campeones shows have been held in Arena Naucalpan, IWRG's home arena, the location of all of their major shows through the years. The 2015 show was the ninth time IWRG has held a Caravana de Campeones show, having not held one in 2010 but held twice in both 2012 and 2013.[4][5][6][7] IWRG held a Caranana show in October 2015,[8] skipped the show in 2016,[9][10] and then held another in October 2017. The 2018 version of the Caravana de Campeones was the 11th overall show under the name.
Storylines
The event featured five professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that portray the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[11]
