Four wrestling promotions, one ring, zero chill — this is wrestling's Avengers: Endgame.
The second night of War of the Worlds UK was a multi-promotional supershow jointly produced by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), Revolution Pro Wrestling (RPW), and Ring of Honor (ROH), that took place on August 19, 2017, at the Liverpool Olympia in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, and was headlined by Cody (c) vs. SANADA for the ROH World Title.

The Liverpool Olympia's historic ballroom floor made for notoriously unforgiving landings — several wrestlers later called it their most painful venue.
