The two promotions have collaborated on supershow events over the year, such as the 2016 through 2019 International Gran Prix in Mexico, the Summer Supercard show in 2019, and the CMLL 85th Anniversary Show where ROH wrestler Matt Taven worked the main event.In late July ROH announced that they had partnered with CMLL for a three day "Global Wars Espectacular" tour, as part of their annual Global Wars series of events. The three-stop tour would start on September 6, 2019 at the Ford Community Center in Dearborn, Michigan. The second stop, on September 7, will be at the Odeum Expo in Chicago and concluded at the Potawatomi Casino in Milwaukee on September 8. Several of the matches would feature ROH and CMLL wrestlers facing off, in additional to non-interpromotional matches.
