In October 2019, NJPW announced their expansion into the United States with their new American division, New Japan Pro-Wrestling of America (NJoA).[2] On July 31, 2020, NJPW announced a new weekly series titled NJPW Strong; the series would be produced by NJoA.[3] On January 30, 2023, NJPW announced that all of the promotion's future American events would be branded under the "Strong" name. Beginning with Battle in the Valley on February 18, the NJoA PPVs began airing as NJPW Strong Live; these PPV events will later air on NJPW World as part of the NJPW Strong on Demand series.[4]
On April 15, at Capital Collision, Fred Rosser was scheduled to face Juice Robinson. As Rosser made his way into the ring, it was revealed that he left a reserved seat at the attendance for Robinson's wife, Toni Storm. Before the match had begun, Robinson attacked Rosser, and continued to do so by using the reserved chair for Storm.[7] This led to Robinson's suspension.[8] On May 4, as the rest of event's card was unveiled, it was revealed that the two would face each other on Resurgence in a Street fight.[9]
