Production
Background
Global Wars is a professional wrestling event held sporadically by the American promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) since 2012. Originally named "Border Wars" and co-produced with the Japanese promotion Pro Wrestling Noah, the event was renamed Global Wars in 2014 after ROH announced a partnership with New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
Under the new name, the event became a supershow co-produced by the two promotions. In 2019, ROH announced a three-event tour with the Mexican promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre as the new partner for the series, renamed "Global Wars Espectacular". The Global Wars Espectacular tour marked the last Global Wars event held by ROH under the ownership of Sinclair Broadcast Group.
On March 2, 2022, it was announced that Tony Khan, the principal owner of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), had purchased ROH. The two promotions operate as sister companies while under Khan's ownership; on January 5, 2025, ROH and AEW held their first co-promoted event, Wrestle Dynasty in the Tokyo Dome.

Why this record matters
“Global Wars Australia” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Global, Wars and Australia provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q132820937. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2025, 2019, 2012 and 2014.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
