STRONG's origins began in 2014, after AXS TV acquired a thirteen episode English adaptation of NJPW World Pro Wrestling, which aired on Friday evenings. This marked the first time NJPW was broadcast on American television, and would continue to be broadcast on AXS TV until December 2019. NJPW STRONG was announced on July 31, 2020, and premiered on August 7, 2020, broadcast from the Oceanview Pavilion in Port Hueneme, California, with the initial episodes featuring the inaugural New Japan Cup USA 2020.
