Production
Background
In February 2021, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) held a television special titled Beach Break, which aired as a special episode of Dynamite. The event replaced Bash at the Beach as the promotion's midwinter beach-themed event.[1][2] A second Beach Break was scheduled for late January 2022 to air as a two-part event as special episodes of Dynamite and Rampage, thus establishing Beach Break as an annual event. It was scheduled to be held on January 26, 2022, at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Dynamite aired live on TBS while Rampage aired on tape delay on TNT on January 28.[3]
Storylines
Beach Break featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4] Storylines were produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite and Rampage, the supplementary online streaming shows, Dark and Elevation, and The Young Bucks' YouTube series Being The Elite.
During the special Holiday Bash episode of Rampage on December 25, 2021, Cody Rhodes defeated Sammy Guevara to become a record three-time AEW TNT Champion.[5] The two were scheduled to have a rematch for the championship at Battle of the Belts I on January 8, 2022;[6] however, Cody was pulled from the event as he had been in contact with family who had tested positive for COVID-19, thus requiring him to quarantine.[7] Guevara instead faced and defeated Cody's brother Dustin Rhodes at that event to become the interim champion.[8][9] On the January 19 episode of Dynamite, lineal champion Cody challenged interim champion Guevara to a ladder match at the Dynamite broadcast of Beach Break to determine the undisputed TNT Champion.[10]
