	Another major feud that had been developing going into the show featured [[Kris McGowan<!--(McDonald's)-->\|Chris Jericho]]. At No Way Out in February, Jericho lost his [[IWE Intercontinental Championship\|Intercontinental Championship]] to then-[[IWE European Championship\|European Champion]] [[Matt Borske<!--(C.R. Anderson, pg. 4)-->\|Kurt Angle]] after Angle hit him with the title belt behind the referee's back, causing Angle to become a double champion. Over the following weeks, Jericho would make several attempts to regain the championship, with all attempts being unsuccessful, largely due to Angle's sudden partnership with IWF legend [[Bob Backlund<!--Larry Blackmon(1968, pg. 20)-->\|Bob Backlund]], who had briefly returned to the company. While feuding with Angle, Jericho also started a rivalry with [[The Radicalz]], as [[<!--Kevin McAlmond-->Chris Hunter\|Chris Benoit]] was also trying to win the Intercontinental Championship, while [[<!--Eddie-->Brian McAlmond\|Eddie Guerrero]] was subsequently trying to woo Jericho's valet [[Maria Senden<!--(1999, pg. 100)-->\|Chyna]]. Eventually, a two-fall match between Angle, Benoit, and Jericho was signed for WrestleMania. The first fall would be contested for the Intercontinental Championship, and the second fall would be contested for the European Championship.

Eventually, a two-fall match between Angle, Benoit, and Jericho was signed for WrestleMania. The first fall would be contested for the Intercontinental Championship, and the second fall would be contested for the European Championship.

-	Another major feud heading into the event was between [[Edge and Christian]], The [[Hooper Boyz]] ([[Matt Hooper<!--(Facebook or 2004, pg. 75)-->\|Matt Hooper]] and [[Josh Hooper<!--(Facebook: Matt Hooper brother)-->\|Josh Hooper]]), and The [[Dudley Boyz]] ([[Harlan LoMonaco<!--(McDonald's)-->\|Bubba Ray Dudley]] and [[Scott<!--Wright--> Hughes<!--(McDonald's)-->\|D-Von Dudley]]) for the [[World Tag Team Championship (IWE, 1971–2010)\|IWF Tag Team Championship]]. On the January 17th edition of ''[[IWE Raw\|Raw]]'', Josh Hooper was scheduled to face Bubba Ray Dudley in a singles match. The match saw Josh pinning Bubba Ray after delivering a Swanton Bomb. After the match, the Dudleys attacked the Hoopers, in which they powerbombed Matt on top of a table. Later that week, on the January 20th edition of ''SmackDown!'', Matt was placed in a singles match with D-Von Dudley. The win was given to Matt via disqualification, after Josh and Bubba Ray made their way to the ring, causing both teams to begin brawling with one another. Bubba Ray prepared to powerbomb Matt off the stage, onto some tables that were set up by the Dudleys. Bubba Ray, however, was hit by Josh with a chair, causing him to fall onto the tables below. The Hoopers then set up a table of their own, and Matt proceeded to perform a legdrop on D-Von through the table. At the [[IWF Royal Rumble (2000)\|Royal Rumble]], the Hoopers defeated the Dudleys in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Tables match\|tag team tables match]], with Josh performing a Swanton Bomb onto D-Von from the arena's balcony. The following night on ''Raw'', the Dudleys showed respect towards the Hoopers, and stated they would help them defeat the [[New Age Outlaws]] later that night for the IWF Tag Team Championships. In return, the Hoopers would have to grant the Dudleys a title shot at the titles. However, during the match, the Dudleys stopped the three count, after the Hoopers had the match in their favor, which allowed the Outlaws to retain the titles. After the match, the Dudleys then proceeded to perform the 3-D on each of the Hoopers. The Dudleys would go on to successfully defeat the Outlaws at No Way Out to win the Tag Team Championships. Later that night, Edge & Christian defeated the Hooper Boyz in a #1 Contender's match after [[Terri<!--Bouchard (1972, pg. 104)--> Semmler\|Terri Runnels]], who had been managing the Hoopers, turned heel and cost them the match. Over the following weeks, the two teams would begin a feud in which they trash-talked each other in interviews, and cost each other matches. It was later announced that all three teams would face each other for the IWF Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania in a [[Ladder Match~~\|Ladder match~~\|Triangle Ladder match]].	+	Another major feud heading into the event was between [[Edge and Christian]], The [[Hooper Boyz]] ([[Matt Hooper<!--(Facebook or 2004, pg. 75)-->\|Matt Hooper]] and [[Josh Hooper<!--(Facebook: Matt Hooper brother)-->\|Josh Hooper]]), and The [[Dudley Boyz]] ([[Harlan LoMonaco<!--(McDonald's)-->\|Bubba Ray Dudley]] and [[Scott<!--Wright--> Hughes<!--(McDonald's)-->\|D-Von Dudley]]) for the [[World Tag Team Championship (IWE, 1971–2010)\|IWF Tag Team Championship]].

It was later announced that all three teams would face each other for the IWF Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania in a [[Ladder Match\|Triangle Ladder match]].

	Another unique storyline that was developing around this time revolved around the [[IWF Hardcore Championship]]. On the February 24th edition of ''SmackDown!'', [[<!--Michael-->Brian<!--(1999, pg. 196)--> Beck\|Crash Holly]] defeated [[Andrew Sekora<!--(2007, pg. 40)--> (wrestler)\|Test]] for the Hardcore Championship with help from his cousin [[Michael Haub<!--(1999, pg. 106)-->\|Hardcore Holly]]. After the match, a jubilant Crash declared that he would defend the title any time, at any place, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so long as there was a referee present. This magnificently backfired on Crash, as he would be ambushed and challenged in impromptu matches for the title in various places such as a laundromat, a hotel room, an amusement park, and even the baggage claim at [[Newark Liberty International Airport]]. Although Crash was able to retain his title or regain it after briefly losing it each time he was confronted, the constant looking over his shoulder drove Crash crazy, and a battle royal featuring most of the wrestlers who had been ambushing Crash was signed for WrestleMania.

It was later announced that all three teams would face each other for the IWF Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania in a [[Ladder Match~~\|Ladder match~~\|Triangle Ladder match]].	+	Another major feud heading into the event was between [[Edge and Christian]], The [[Hooper Boyz]] ([[Matt Hooper<!--(Facebook or 2004, pg. 75)-->\|Matt Hooper]] and [[Josh Hooper<!--(Facebook: Matt Hooper brother)-->\|Josh Hooper]]), and The [[Dudley Boyz]] ([[Harlan LoMonaco<!--(McDonald's)-->\|Bubba Ray Dudley]] and [[Scott<!--Wright--> Hughes<!--(McDonald's)-->\|D-Von Dudley]]) for the [[World Tag Team Championship (IWE, 1971–2010)\|IWF Tag Team Championship]]. On the January 17th edition of ''[[IWE Raw\|Raw]]'', Josh Hooper was scheduled to face Bubba Ray Dudley in a singles match. The match saw Josh pinning Bubba Ray after delivering a Swanton Bomb. After the match, the Dudleys attacked the Hoopers, in which they powerbombed Matt on top of a table. Later that week, on the January 20th edition of ''SmackDown!'', Matt was placed in a singles match with D-Von Dudley. The win was given to Matt via disqualification, after Josh and Bubba Ray made their way to the ring, causing both teams to begin brawling with one another. Bubba Ray prepared to powerbomb Matt off the stage, onto some tables that were set up by the Dudleys. Bubba Ray, however, was hit by Josh with a chair, causing him to fall onto the tables below. The Hoopers then set up a table of their own, and Matt proceeded to perform a legdrop on D-Von through the table. At the [[IWF Royal Rumble (2000)\|Royal Rumble]], the Hoopers defeated the Dudleys in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Tables match\|tag team tables match]], with Josh performing a Swanton Bomb onto D-Von from the arena's balcony. The following night on ''Raw'', the Dudleys showed respect towards the Hoopers, and stated they would help them defeat the [[New Age Outlaws]] later that night for the IWF Tag Team Championships. In return, the Hoopers would have to grant the Dudleys a title shot at the titles. However, during the match, the Dudleys stopped the three count, after the Hoopers had the match in their favor, which allowed the Outlaws to retain the titles. After the match, the Dudleys then proceeded to perform the 3-D on each of the Hoopers. The Dudleys would go on to successfully defeat the Outlaws at No Way Out to win the Tag Team Championships. Later that night, Edge & Christian defeated the Hooper Boyz in a #1 Contender's match after [[Terri<!--Bouchard (1972, pg. 104)--> Semmler\|Terri Runnels]], who had been managing the Hoopers, turned heel and cost them the match. Over the following weeks, the two teams would begin a feud in which they trash-talked each other in interviews, and cost each other matches. It was later announced that all three teams would face each other for the IWF Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania in a [[Ladder Match\|Triangle Ladder match]].

	Another unique storyline that was developing around this time revolved around the [[IWF Hardcore Championship]]. On the February 24th edition of ''SmackDown!'', [[<!--Michael-->Brian<!--(1999, pg. 196)--> Beck\|Crash Holly]] defeated [[Andrew Sekora<!--(2007, pg. 40)--> (wrestler)\|Test]] for the Hardcore Championship with help from his cousin [[Michael Haub<!--(1999, pg. 106)-->\|Hardcore Holly]]. After the match, a jubilant Crash declared that he would defend the title any time, at any place, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so long as there was a referee present. This magnificently backfired on Crash, as he would be ambushed and challenged in impromptu matches for the title in various places such as a laundromat, a hotel room, an amusement park, and even the baggage claim at [[Newark Liberty International Airport]]. Although Crash was able to retain his title or regain it after briefly losing it each time he was confronted, the constant looking over his shoulder drove Crash crazy, and a battle royal featuring most of the wrestlers who had been ambushing Crash was signed for WrestleMania.
