These will be the first NJPW shows that the promotion has produced independently in the U.S. NJPW will crown the inaugural IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion during the weekend. The event's name refers to the annual G1 Climax tournament as these shows also serve as a prelude to the 2017 G1 Climax.
