Due to featuring wrestlers from two different promotions, the events will focus less on storyline rivalries and more on interpromotional matchups. However, one storyline introduced between the [[Bullet Club]] and [[The Kingdom (professional wrestling)|The Kingdom]] [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Stable|stables]] is built across the two promotions. The rivalry between the two stables started on March 1, 2015, at ROH's [[ROH 13th Anniversary Show|13th Anniversary Show]], where The Kingdom's [[Matthew Lustgraaf|Matt Taven]] and [[Michael Mcleod (wrestler)|Michael Bennett]] defeated Bullet Club's [[Chad Allen|Karl Anderson]] to win a three-way tag team match, after Anderson's stablemate [[Justin Feight||Doc Gallows]] was unable to make the event due to travel issues. This led to a match on April 5 at NJPW's [[NJPW Invasion Attack (2015)|Invasion Attack 2015]], where Taven and Bennett defeated Anderson and Gallows to capture the [[IWGP Tag Team Championship]]. The rivalry continued throughout the next month and came to include [[Alicia Ramirez|Maria Kanellis]] and [[Amber Gallows]], the wives of Bennett and Gallows, respectively. Anderson and Gallows are absent from War of the Worlds '15, working only the Global Wars '15 events, leaving A.J. Styles and The Young Bucks to enter the rivalry. War of the Worlds '15 will mark the in-ring return of the third member of The Kingdom, [[Mathew Dinnocenzo|Adam Cole]], following an injury break. Cole was originally only announced for the second night, but ended up being revealed as Styles' mystery opponent on the first night. The first night will feature a three-way non-title match between three sets of tag team champions as Bennett and Taven take on The Young Bucks, the reigning [[IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship|IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions]], and [[ROH World Tag Team Championship|ROH World Tag Team Champions]] [[Bad Influence (professional wrestling)|The Addiction]] ([[Christopher Daniels]] and [[Frankie Kazarian]]).

 +
The second night will feature the only title match of the two events, which will see [[Jay Briscoe]] defend the [[ROH World Championship]] against [[Robert Farrell|Bobby Fish]]. Prior to the title match, Briscoe has gone over two years without being pinned or submitted in ROH; the last time he was pinned was on March 2, 2013, when Fish pinned him in a tag team match, where he and [[Kyle Pierce|Kyle O'Reilly]] captured the [[ROH World Tag Team Championship]] from Jay and his brother [[Mark Briscoe|Mark]].

War of the Worlds '15 is an upcoming professional wrestling supershow co-produced by the American Ring of Honor (ROH) and Japanese New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) promotions. The event is scheduled to take place on May 13, 2015, at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.

War of the Worlds '15 is the second annual War of the Worlds event co-produced by ROH and NJPW, following War of the Worlds, which took place on May 17, 2014, at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.

[edit] Production

[edit] Background

On January 4, 2015, at their Wrestle Kingdom 9 in Tokyo Dome show, New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) announced that it would for the second year in a row co-produce an event with Ring of Honor (ROH) in May. At that point, no specific dates were announced and only the United States was named as a location. However, on February 25, ROH sent out a press release, announcing three co-produced events, as opposed to two shows in 2014, with War of the Worlds '15 taking place on May 13 in Philadelphia and Global Wars '15 on May 15 and 16 in Toronto, Canada.

[edit] Storylines

See also: Professional wrestling

Global Wars '15 will feature professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Due to featuring wrestlers from two different promotions, the events will focus less on storyline rivalries and more on interpromotional matchups. However, one storyline introduced between the Bullet Club and The Kingdom stables is built across the two promotions. The rivalry between the two stables started on March 1, 2015, at ROH's 13th Anniversary Show, where The Kingdom's Matt Taven and Michael Bennett defeated Bullet Club's Karl Anderson to win a three-way tag team match, after Anderson's stablemate |Doc Gallows was unable to make the event due to travel issues. This led to a match on April 5 at NJPW's Invasion Attack 2015, where Taven and Bennett defeated Anderson and Gallows to capture the IWGP Tag Team Championship. The rivalry continued throughout the next month and came to include Maria Kanellis and Amber Gallows, the wives of Bennett and Gallows, respectively. Anderson and Gallows are absent from War of the Worlds '15, working only the Global Wars '15 events, leaving A.J. Styles and The Young Bucks to enter the rivalry. War of the Worlds '15 will mark the in-ring return of the third member of The Kingdom, Adam Cole, following an injury break. Cole was originally only announced for the second night, but ended up being revealed as Styles' mystery opponent on the first night. The first night will feature a three-way non-title match between three sets of tag team champions as Bennett and Taven take on The Young Bucks, the reigning IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, and ROH World Tag Team Champions The Addiction (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian).

The second night will feature the only title match of the two events, which will see Jay Briscoe defend the ROH World Championship against Bobby Fish. Prior to the title match, Briscoe has gone over two years without being pinned or submitted in ROH; the last time he was pinned was on March 2, 2013, when Fish pinned him in a tag team match, where he and Kyle O'Reilly captured the ROH World Tag Team Championship from Jay and his brother Mark.
