Global Wars

Global Wars is a professional wrestling event staged by the American professional wrestling promotion Ring of Honor (ROH), first promoted in 2012 and most recently in 2026. Originally named Border Wars, the event was renamed Global Wars in 2014 after ROH brokered a partnership with the Japanese promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW).^[1]

Under the new name, the event became a "super show" co-produced by the two promotions.^[2] The first five were held at the Ted Reeve Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, while the sixth took place at the Frontier Fieldhouse in Chicago Ridge, Illinois. From 2012 to 2016, the event was held in May alongside War of the Worlds, but in 2017, Global Wars was moved to October and made a four-event tour across Buffalo, New York; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Columbus, Ohio; and Villa Park, Illinois. In 2018, the tour was again moved to November with a four-event tour across Buffalo, New York; Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Lowell, Massachusetts; and Lewiston, Maine.

In 2019, ROH announced a three-event tour with the Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) as the new partner for the series, renamed Global Wars Espectacular. The events were held in the month of September and the chosen cities were Dearborn, Michigan; Villa Park, Illinois; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.^[3]

Following Global Wars Espectacular: Milwaukee, the event was discontinued for several years. In 2025, ROH revived the "Global Wars" brand for a series of events co-produced with its sister promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) outside of the United States and Canada.
