Before the return of Hulk Hogan drastically altered the course of WrestleMania 9, the event was to have seen Ted Dibiase and Irwin R. Schyster defend their Tag Team gold against a team they had been feuding with since October, The Nasty Boys. However, in February 1993, WWE ran the angle where Dibiase and Schyster bloodied Brutus Beefcake's surgically-repaired face, which was the catalyst for Hogan to returning as a brother in vengeance.

On the March 21 edition of WWE Wrestling Challenge, it was mentioned in story terms that Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags were in line to face Money Inc for the belts, but "stepped aside" for Hogan and Beefcake.

The Nastys would actually leave WWE after a European tour in mid-April, following a period of suspension, and wound up back in WCW that summer.
