BackgroundPromo Series has been an annual Max Wrestling Podcast special event held in November since 2016. It is one of Max Wrestling's original five events and is held to coincide with WWE's Survior Series. The 2018 edition featured the launch of the Promo Championship, which has since been retired and replaced with the Max World Championship. Promo Series traditionally features a Winner Stays On gauntlet for the Max Knowledge Championship.
At Trivia Takeover 8, during a "Test Of Loyalty" between the Modern Day Outlaws, Cypher showed restraint in bowing to World Champion Moses Marquez, and as a result was attacked by Chris Reid - at the request of Marquez. At PromoSlam 2023, Cypher defeated Reid, earning a one-on-one World Title match against Marquez at this event. "Corey's Story" was shown at All For One, showcasing Cypher's journey to this match since joining the M.D.O. Mike Larkin issued an open challenge at All For One to be met at Promo Series. The challenge was accepted the following week by Beer, setting up their first encounter since they were both guests on Larkin's debut episode in July 2016. Throughout September and October, a two-round Blind Tag Team trivia tournament was held to determine the next challengers for Daniel Crimmins and Moses Marquez's Max Tag Team Championships. The teams were drawn at random with the final spot (Cypher's partner) being a mystery wildcard - which would be a participant already eliminated. The Captain was previously eliminated in the first round after teaming with Travis Anderson - when his original partner Tiffany Dearmon failed to appear. The Captain and Cypher went on to defeat AJ Sparxx and Beer in the final. Following All For One, Tedd P Dinero declared himself as a challenger for the Knowledge Championship, which The Captain confirmed the following week, along with announcing himself as the next challenger for the second year.
