Background

In 2014, NJPW and ROH formally forged a relationship, which saw them present the first

Toronto, Ontario and New York City.[4] The 2017 War of the Worlds tour was held from May 7 to 14.[5] On May 22, ROH announced a second War of the Worlds tour, this time taking place in the United Kingdom, for which they and NJPW would be joined by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and RPW. The three shows would take place on August 18 in London, August 19 in Liverpool and August 20 in Edinburgh.[6]

Storylines

The War of the Worlds UK tour 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.[7]

On August 9, ROH announced their sole

Sanada.[8]
