Production

Background

On July 6, 2019, during the opening night of the G1 Climax tournament, NJPW announced their return to the United States to host a 2019 edition of Fighting Spirit Unleashed, a three-event tour across the East Coast of the United States at the end of September. The cities hosting the three events were announced by NJPW as Lowell, New York City and Philadelphia. Tickets went on sale on July 26.
The New York event was streamed live worldwide on NJPW's streaming service, NJPW World, with Japanese commentary. The Lowell and Philadelphia events were later made available for on demand viewing.

Storylines

Fighting Spirit Unleashed featured seven to eight professional wrestling matches in each show that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
