- Former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Callum Newman was scheduled to challenge Continental Champion Jon Moxley but was sidelined due to a dislocated shoulder sustained during NJPW Dominion.
- Gabe Kidd was initially set to challenge IWGP Global Champion Shota Umino but faced visa problems and a shoulder injury; he is now scheduled to face Umino on July 6 in Tokyo.
- Tomohiro Ishii was removed from the event due to a neck injury, likely missing the 12-man cage match involving Conglomeration members.
