Production

Background

In 2014, the American

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Columbus, Ohio, before a fourth show in Villa Park, Illinois, was added on July 31.[1][7]

The first batch of wrestlers announced for the tour included

Bully Ray, Cody, Dalton Castle and the Boys, Jay Lethal and The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) from ROH.[1][8] On July 31, ROH added NJPW wrestler Kenny Omega to the tour's final event in Villa Park, Illinois. Originally, the promotion announced that Omega would be defending the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship at the show, but later retracted the title match announcement.[9][10] The Omega announcement led to the final show becoming the fastest selling event in ROH history with 1,875 tickets being sold the first day.[11] On September 22, ROH announced that Omega would work all four of the Global Wars events.[12] Three days later, ROH again announced that Omega would defend the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship on October 15.[13] On September 29, ROH announced that Minoru Suzuki would take part in all four shows of the tour,[14][15] which was followed by similar announcements for Will Ospreay and Toru Yano the following day.[16][17] On October 2, ROH announced that the final night of the tour would air live on internet pay-per-view (iPPV). In addition, the second and third night of the tour would be available on free live streams for all members of ROH's Ringside service.[18][19]

Storylines

The Global Wars 2017 shows featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. 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.[20]

On September 26, 2017, ROH announced the first match for the tour, which would see Kenny Omega defend the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship against Yoshi-Hashi on October 15.

Tokyo Dome IWGP Heavyweight Championship challenge rights certificate against Yoshi-Hashi.[23] This match would mark the first time the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship would be defended in the United States.[22]
