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.[1]
Under the new name, the event became a supershow and later a multi-day tour co-produced by the two promotions.[2] In 2019, ROH announced a three-event tour with the Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre as the new partner for the tour, renamed "Global Wars Espectacular".[3] The Global Wars Espectacular tour marked the last Global Wars event held by ROH under the ownership of Sinclair Broadcast Group.
On May 15, 2026, ROH, CMLL, and Stardom announced that they would present a joint Global Wars show at in Cincinnati, Ohio.[4]
Storylines
ROH x CMLL x Stardom Global Wars featured multiple professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Storylines were produced on ROH's streaming program Ring of Honor Wrestling, CMLL's weekly programming and various events, and Stardom events.[5]-
Back in February 27, 2026 at New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s event The New Beginning USA Syuri defeated Athena to retain the IWGP Women's Championship.[6][7] On the June 4, 2026 episode of ROH Athena called out Syrui to face her in a rematch at Global Wars Cincinnati, but this time she is putting her ROH Women's World Championship on the line against her instead of the match being for the IWGP Women's Championship.[8][9][10] Also after the match at The New Beginning USA Syrui grabbed Athena’s ROH Women's title and then gave it back to her, hinting that she might want to go for the title in the future.[11]
Throughout late 2024 to 2026 Lio Rush and Action Andretti were a tag team by the name of CRU.[12][13] Over time, the tag team officially broke up, specifically at Supercard of Honor after Andretti cost Lio Rush the ROH World Television Championship against AR Fox after interfering and shoving Lio off the turnbuckles when the referee wasn't watching.[14] Out of all the chaos to settle the full score on June 10, 2026 it was officially announced by Tony Khan that at Global Wars Cincinnati it will be Lio Rush vs. Action Andretti vs. AR Fox in a Triple threat match for the ROH World Television Championship.[15]
