The 2024 World War is the 36th annual World War professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by WIW. It will be held for wrestlers from the promotion's Rage and ShowDown brand divisions. The event will take place on Saturday, January 27, 2024, at Kendrick Field in Helena, Montana.
The event is based around the World War Rumble match, and the winner traditionally receives a world championship match at that year's SuperBrawl. For the 2024 event, the winners of both the men's and women's matches receive a choice of which championship to challenge for at SuperBrawl XVI. The men can choose to challenge for either Rage's World Heavyweight Championship or ShowDown's Undisputed WIW World Heavyweight Championship, while the women have the choice between Rage's Women's World Championship and ShowDown's WIW Women's Championship.

Production
Background
The World War is an annual professional wrestling event produced every January by WIW since 1999. It is one of the promotion's five biggest events of the year, along with SuperBrawl, SummerBash, Soul Survivor, and Money in the Bank, referred to as the "Big Five". The concept of the event is based around the World War Rumble match, a modified battle royal in which the participants enter at timed intervals instead of all beginning in the ring at the same time.
Announced on September 13, 2023, the 37th Royal Rumble is scheduled to be held on Saturday, January 27, 2024, at Kendrick Field in Helena, Montana and will feature wrestlers from the Rage and ShowDown brand divisions.
The Royal Rumble match generally features 30 wrestlers and the winner traditionally earns a world championship match at that year's WrestleMania. For 2024, the men and women can choose which world championship to challenge for at SuperBrawl XVI; the men can choose Rage's World Heavyweight Championship or ShowDown's Undisputed WIW World Heavyweight Championship, while the women have the choice between Rage's Women's World Championship and ShowDown's WIW Women's Championship.
Storylines
The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by WIW's writers on the Rage and ShowDown brands, while storylines are produced on WIW's weekly television shows, Wednesday Night Rage and Friday Night ShowDown, which is moved from it's original Saturday night when WIW holds it's pay-per-views on Saturdays.
