In October 2019, NJPW announced their expansion into the United States with their new American division, New Japan Pro-Wrestling of America.[1] On August 14, 2021 at Resurgence, NJPW announced Battle in the Valley for November 13 at San Jose Civic in San Jose, California.[2] The event saw the NJPW debuts of Buddy Matthews[3] and Jonah,[4] and Kazuchika Okada making his first US appearance since 2019.[5]
Battle in the Valley featured professional wrestling matches that involve 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.[6]
