The promotions were extremely proud to announce that on April 6, 2019, the biggest wrestling event for both New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Ring of Honor would take place in legendary Madison Square Garden.

“This is destined to join a long list of historical wrestling moments and where better to hold it than at Madison Square Garden. I am extremely proud of what we have been able to achieve as a company and am very appreciative of how great our relationship with New Japan Pro-Wrestling has become. However, none of this would be possible without our fans, who are truly the best in the world. Madison Square Garden would not be possible without them and for that I am most grateful.”- ROH Chief Operating Officer Joe Koff
