ROH and NJPW wrestlers reunited in the same ring on the American soil, this is what Global Wars are about. After a successful War of Worlds tournament in UK last August, ROH is welcoming back NJPW for the 4th edition of the event. If it usually takes place in one venue, this year Global Wars is becoming a 4-event tour across Buffalo, NY, Pittsburgh, PA, Columbus, OH and Villa Park, IL from October 12 to 15.
The IWGP United States Heavyweight title will be defended for the first time in the USA (first-ever title defence took place on September 24 at an NJPW show, Destruction in Kobe, Kenny Omega successfully defended against Juice Robinson) during Chicago event. The ROH World Tag Team Championship will be on the line in Chicago while Cody will defend the ROH World Championship in Columbus.
