Production
Background
Global Wars is a professional wrestling event held sporadically by the American promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) since 2012. Originally named "Border Wars" and co-produced with the Japanese promotion Pro Wrestling Noah, the event was renamed Global Wars in 2014 after ROH announced a partnership with New Japan Pro-Wrestling.[3]
Under the new name, the event became a supershow and later a multi-day tour co-produced by the two promotions.[4] In 2019, ROH announced a three-event tour with the Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre as the new partner for the series, renamed "Global Wars Espectacular".[5] The Global Wars Espectacular tour marked the last Global Wars event held by ROH under the ownership of Sinclair Broadcast Group.
On December 11, 2025, ROH announced that they would bring back the "Global Wars" name for the third time this year with matches being taped at Utilita Arena Cardiff in Cardiff, Wales and Co-op Live in Manchester, England on December 13 and December 17, 2025 respectively.[6]
The previous events were Global Wars Australia in February 2025 and Global Wars Mexico in June 2025; it is the first time since 2019 that ROH has hosted three Global Wars events in the same calendar year.
