This will be Ospreay's first title defense since beating David Finlay in September 2022 at NJPW Burning Spirit to retain the championship.

At Battle Autumn, the rest of the United Empire will also be in action. Jeff Cobb and The Great-O-Khan will challenge FTR for the IWGP Tag Team Championship.
Strong Tag Team Champions, Aussie Open, who were previously unsuccessful in dethroning FTR, will compete in an eight-man tag team match. TJP and Francesco Akira will also put their IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Championship on the line.
