The following year, War of the Worlds was held over two days at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and in 2016 it was expanded to a three-show tour with shows taking place in Dearborn, Michigan, Toronto, Ontario and New York City.{{cite web | url = http://rohwrestling.com/news/war-worlds-keeps-getting-bigger-every-year | title = War of the Worlds keeps getting bigger every year | date=May 6, 2017 | access-date=May 7, 2017 | work=Ring of Honor}} The 2017 War of the Worlds tour was held from May 7 to 14.{{cite web | url = http://pwinsider.com/article/108119/roh-new-japan-tour-date-for-nyc-announced.html?p=1 | title = ROH New Japan tour date for NYC announced | last=Johnson | first=Mike | date=March 3, 2017 | access-date=April 18, 2017 | work=Pro Wrestling Insider}} On May 22, ROH announced a second War of the Worlds tour, this time taking place in the United Kingdom, for which they and NJPW would be joined by Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and RPW.

=Storylines=

The War of the Worlds UK tour featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.{{cite web | url = http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/pro-wrestling.htm | title = How Pro Wrestling Works | last=Grabianowski | first=Ed | access-date=April 18, 2017 | work=HowStuffWorks, Inc. | publisher=Discovery Communications}}
