ROH issued the following:
Coming hot off the heels of the sold-out War of the Worlds 2017 Tour in North America, ROH is thrilled to announce, in conjunction with NJPW, CMLL and Revolution Pro Wrestling, the first-ever War of the Worlds UK Tour from August 18th, 2017 – August 20th, 2017! With stronger-than-ever partnerships, stars from the top professional wrestling organizations in the world will do battle over the course of three nights!
The tour comes in overwhelming response to not only the resoundingly successful ROH Reach for the Sky UK Tour, but also to the rapid sellouts of Ring of Honor, New Japan, CMLL, and Rev Pro events around the globe. The match possibilities are endless, dream teams could be formed, and various championships WILL be contested!
Officials from all four companies have been meeting throughout the early parts of the summer creating and signing matches the fans want to see. And in London at York Hall, a first-time ever, ten-man clash has been signed pitting two of the most popular groups this century against one another!
MAIN EVENT
LOS INGOBERNABLES DE JAPON (TETSUYA NAITO, HIROMU TAKAHASHI w/DARYL, & NEVER OPENWEIGHT SIX MEN CHAMPIONS BUSHI, EVIL, & SANADA) vs. BULLET CLUB (ROH WORLD CHAMPION “THE AMERICAN NIGHTMARE” CODY, ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE YOUNG BUCKS, “THE VILLAIN” MARTY SCURLL, & ADAM PAGE)
Two of the most popular groups of the 21st century will meet for the VERY FIRST TIME in a ten-man tag team match in the main event of War of the Worlds UK – London! Bullet Club, represented by ROH World Champion Cody, ROH World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks, “The Villain” Marty Scurll, and Adam Page meet Los Ingobernables de Japon, comprised of former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Tetsuya Natio, former IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi with Daryl, and the NEVER Openweight Six Men Tag Team Champions BUSHI, EVIL, & SANADA in a dream match fans have requested since the tour was announced!
This bout marks the first time many of these international megastars will be in the same ring with one another, including the first time ROH World Champion Cody and former ROH World Television Champion Marty Scurll step into a ROH ring with former IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Champion Naito! The match also marks the first time Naito and BUSHI will be in the ring with the Young Bucks since their instant classic at the War of the Worlds Pay Per View event in May!
Interestingly enough, the match may come down to the experience of one of the youngest men in the match, Adam Page, who has been in the ring the most with the largest cross-section of LIJ while Scurll brings the home country advantage to the match, being the only man in the match that does not have to leave his country to compete!
What cannot be overlooked, however, is the record that Los Ingobernables de Japon possesses in ten-man tag team action. Since Best of Super Juniors 2017, this LIJ fivesome is 8-3 in ten-man tag team matches, a distinct advantage on a group of five opponents that have not competed in such a unique tag team match!
These two groups meet for the VERY FIRST TIME in ten-man tag competition in the main event of War of the Worlds UK – London in a bout guaranteed to be an instant classic! Who will come out on top? Join us in London to find out!
