Fans in Brisbane, Australia who attended AEW’s Grand Slam Australia event didn’t just get to see the TV special that aired on TNT and MAX, but in addition they got to see the return of a preferred Ring of Honor event; Global Wars. ROH had previously held their Global Wars events alongside corporations like CMLL and Recent Japan Pro Wrestling, and to have fun their first trip down under, Tony Khan brought the event back with AEW stars getting involved within the fun. With all that said, fans won’t must wait long to see the motion unfold as it has been confirmed via social media that the 2025 Global Wars event will air on HonorClub on February 17.
Fans who tune in will get to see Lee Moriarty defend the ROH Pure Championship against NJPW star Robbie Eagles, Athena defend the ROH Women’s World Championship against Alex Windsor, Bandido and The Outrunners tackle The Learning Tree in trios motion, and MxM Collection challenge The Sons of Texas for the ROH World Tag Team Championships. On the time of writing, the February 20 episode of “ROH on HonorClub” continues to be set to stream on its regular day, with that show airing matches that were taped during AEW’s recent trip to Texas.
The matches for Global Wars were added to the event in Brisbane following the conclusion of the February 12 edition of “AEW Dynamite” to flesh out the show, because the Grand Slam Australia event was originally set to be on the Suncorp Stadium, hinting that it will be a pay-per-view level show. Nonetheless, the show was moved to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, which proved to be a blessing for AEW because the event ended up becoming the third largest gate in company history, behind their trips to Wembley Stadium in 2023 and 2024.
