War of the Worlds

**War of the Worlds** was a professional wrestling supershow co-produced by the American Ring of Honor (ROH) and Japanese New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) promotions. The two promotions announced a partnership in February 2014, which led to the first War of the Worlds event taking place at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City the following May. In 2015, ROH and NJPW presented two War of the Worlds events, both taking place at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in May. In 2016, War of the Worlds took place over three shows in Dearborn, Michigan, Toronto and New York City, with Philadelphia added to the tour in 2017. 2017 also saw the first War of the Worlds UK tour, for which ROH and NJPW partnered with the Mexican Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and British Revolution Pro Wrestling (RPW) promotions. In 2020, ROH and NJPW decided to make the sixth edition of the tour but the event was canceled due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
