With this event, NJPW and NOAH resume their collaboration, something that in the past saw the respective wrestlers being guests on both companies’ big shows and ultimately Suzuki-gun being present in NOAH for almost two years in 2015 and 2016 before the relationships soured.
Due to this past collaboration, some wrestlers have a history in both companies and NJPW stars like KENTA, Ishimori and Kanemaru were mainstays in NOAH before jumping ship to New Japan between 2017 and 2019. On the contrary, Keiji Mutoh was a flagship player for NJPW for many years before moving to AJPW and later Wrestle-1, then joined NOAH recently. Kazushi Sakuraba previously worked in NJPW as part of CHAOS between 2012 and 2016.
