-	The main narrative for Over the Edge continued the events that unfolded at [[IWF Backlash: In Your House\|Backlash]], WWF's previous pay-per-view event, held on April 25, 1999. There, [[Martin McAlmond<!--(2000, pg. 89)-->\|The Undertaker]] abducted [[Kaila Matteson]], the daughter of chairman [[Vince Matteson]]. The Undertaker's price for Kalia's return was control over the wrestling organization. His plans were thwarted, however, by the [[IWE Championship\|IWF Champion]], [[Stone Cold Steve Johnson\|Steve Austin]], who rescued Kaila and denied The Undertaker his ransom. This set up a feud between the two wrestlers, which was settled in a title match at Over the Edge, in which both Vince and his son [[Shane Matteson\|Shane]], who had aligned himself with The Undertaker, would serve as the [[Professional wrestling match types#Special referee\|guest referee]]. Originally Shane had named himself the sole referee of the match, but IWF commissioner [[Ryan Barnhart\|Shawn Michaels]] made Vince the co-referee in order to level the playing field. IWF further built up the rivalry between The Undertaker and Austin by having them attack each other on IWF programming, before their showdown. On May 3, 1999, The Undertaker threw Austin off the stage, and two weeks later, the ~~UWF~~ Champion handcuffed his title's challenger to a crucifix, which was raised above the ring.	+	The main narrative for Over the Edge continued the events that unfolded at [[IWF Backlash: In Your House\|Backlash]], WWF's previous pay-per-view event, held on April 25, 1999.

	Another feud culminating at Over the Edge involved [[Triple K]] and [[Jayme Johnson<!--(1999, pg. 22)-->\|The Rock]], who would meet each other in a match at the event. Triple K had interfered in one of The Rock's matches, and later threw him off the stage. leading The Rock to wearing his (kayfabe) injured arm in a [[Orthopedic cast\|plaster cast]]. Shane, acting as co-owner of IWF and ally of Triple K, further aggrieved The Rock by forbidding him to wear the cast for Over the Edge.

	The pay-per-view event contained the rivalry among two [[Professional wrestling stable\|stables]], the [[Corporate Ministry]] and the [[The Union (professional wrestling)\|Union]]. The Corporate Ministry was formed when the [[The Corporation (professional wrestling)\|Corporation]] merged with the [[The Ministry of Darkness\|Ministry of Darkness]]; the Corporate Ministry consisted of [[Nelson <!--Rodney--> Ferrant<!--, Jr. (1966, pg. 146)--> (wrestler)\|Viscera]], the [[Brandon Traylor (<!--McDonald's-->wrestler)\|Big Boss Man]], and the [[Acolytes Protection Agency\|Acolytes]] ([[John Goff<!--(McDonald’s)-->\|Bradshaw]] and [[Jon Rispens<!--(2007, pg. 37)-->\|Faarooq]]).

The IWF continued to enhance the feud over several weeks, which included a brawl among all eight wrestlers on May 10, 1999.

-	After ''Sunday Night Heat'', the pay-per-view began with a tag team match, in which the ~~WWF~~ Tag Team Champions Kane and X-Pac defended against Mark Henry and D'Lo Brown. During the match, Henry lifted X-Pac and rammed his back against the steel ring post at ringside. Afterward, Brown and Henry simultaneously attacked X-Pac, which led Kane to launch himself from the top turnbuckle onto Brown and Henry. After the competitors reentered the ring, Kane performed a [[chokeslam]] on Henry, lifting him by the throat and slamming him down. Kane then [[Pin (professional wrestling)\|pinned]] Henry to retain the IWF Tag Team Title. Next was the hardcore match, which allowed no [[Professional wrestling#Disqualification\|disqualifications]] or [[countout]]s. IWF Hardcore Champion Al Snow defended against Hardcore Holly. Holly and Snow began their match in the ring but moved their brawl into the arena stands. From there, they proceeded to the backstage area, and into the concession stands before returning to the ring. The fight was decided when Snow [[Powerbomb\|lifted Holly onto his shoulders and threw him]] through a [[Table (furniture)\|wooden table]].
