The Big Bang! was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by Ring of Honor (ROH), which was only available online. It took place on April 3, 2010 from the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Eight matches were featured on the card.

The Big Bang! featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either villains or heroes in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match.

On January 18, 2010, Jim Cornette announced on an episode of Ring of Honor Wrestling that ROH would make its debut in Charlotte, North Carolina with an Internet-only pay-per-view called "The Big Bang!", which sported the slogan, "pro wrestling explodes into the 21st century".

The main feud heading into The Big Bang! was between Tyler Black, Austin Aries, and Roderick Strong over Black's ROH World Championship. At ROH's first online-pay-per-view, Final Battle 2009 in December 2009, then-champion Aries had successfully defended the championship against Black in an hour-long time-limit draw. As a result of Aries trying to run away and take a countout loss, where he would have retained the championship, executive producer Jim Cornette announced that Aries and Black would have a rematch at ROH's 8th Anniversary Show in New York City on February 13. In case of a draw in the rematch, Cornette decreed that three judges would select the winner of the match, and that both Black and Aries would choose a judge. Black elected Roderick Strong, and Aries chose his ally, Kenny King. Cornette then announced himself as the third judge. Strong agreed to be a judge, on the condition that he receive a match for the championship if Black won. During the match at the 8th Anniversary Show, Black superkicked both Cornette and Strong en route to defeating Aries to win his first ROH World Championship. In early March, Cornette announced that as a result of Strong being promised a championship match and Aries invoking his rematch clause, a three-way elimination match would occur at The Big Bang!.
