Heading into Battle in the Valley, White has been on a losing streak. At Wrestle Kingdom 17, he lost the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship to Kazuchika Okada.
Shortly afterward, White reignited his feud with Hikuleo and called out the former Bullet Club member for betraying the faction. White previously booted Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa out of the Bullet Club to bring back The Good Brothers.
