Fujinami won the match and the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, becoming the first wrestler to hold both championships. In the main event of the SuperShow, IWGP Heavyweight Champion put his title against Ric Flair who defended the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. The show took place in Japan and was co-promoted by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and their Japanese partner promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). SuperBrawl I was the direct follow up to events that happened on the first ever WCW/New Japan Supershow that had happened on March 21, 1991. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. The event featured wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. In 2015, all WCW pay-per-views were made available on the WWE Network. The event also featured the television debut of Johnny B.
The show consisted of twelve matches, with some of the matches being edited out of the official VHS tape release of the show. In the opening match, The Fabulous Freebirds won the vacant WCW United States Tag Team Championship. The undercard saw Bobby Eaton win the WCW World Television Championship from Arn Anderson while The Steiner Brothers defended the WCW World Tag Team Championship.
In the United States the match was promoted as simply being for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, not promoting the fact that Fujinami had defeated Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship in March 1991. The main event of the show was a match between then reigning WCW World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair and the NWA World Heavyweight Champion Tatsumi Fujinami with both world championships on the line.
