===Background===
New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) held the first Royal Quest event on August 31, 2019. On August 16, 2022, NJPW announced that it would be returning to London, England for Royal Quest II, which would take place across two nights, October 1 and 2.
===Storylines===
On July 29, 2022, NJPW and Stardom announced the creation of the IWGP Women's Championship. On August 23, it was announced that the inaugural champion would be decided in a tournament that featured a Stardom and international bracket. On August 27, it was announced that Jazzy Gabert and Ava White would be the competitors in the international first round match and would face off on Night 2 of Royal Quest II.
During the 2022 G1 Climax, Zack Sabre Jr. planned on winning the tournament and using his victory to challenge for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship in England, his home country, at Royal Quest II. However, in his final block match on August 16, 2022, Zack Sabre Jr. was quickly defeated by Tetsuya Naito and eliminated from the tournament. At Burning Spirit - Night 14, Will Ospreay defeated David Finlay to retain the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship. Following the match, Naito challenged Ospreay but was interrupted by Zack Sabre Jr., who explained that he had beaten Ospreay in that year's New Japan Cup while Naito had failed to beat Ospreay in the G1 Climax 32 semi-final. As a result, a match between Zack Sabre Jr. and Naito was scheduled for Night 2 of Royal Quest II to determine the #1 Contender for the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship.
