[edit] Background
ROH 14th Anniversary will feature professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that play out on ROH's television program, Ring of Honor Wrestling. Wrestlers will portray heroes (faces) or villains (heels) as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.
On January 26, 2016 ROH Matchmaker Nigel McGuinness announced that Jay Lethal will defend the ROH World Championship against Kyle O'Reilly and Adam Cole in a three-way match in the main event of the event.
Through ROH's working relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), the event will feature several wrestlers from the Japanese promotion, including Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kazuchika Okada, Kushida, Tomohiro Ishii and Gedo. Shinsuke Shinsuke Nakamura was also originally announced for the event, but was later pulled from the show and will be replaced by another NJPW wrestler.
Originally, ROH announced that Roderick Strong would defend the ROH World Television Championship against Bobby Fish at the 14th Anniversary Show. However, on February 19 at the ROH and NJPW co-produced Honor Rising: Japan 2016 event in Tokyo, Japan, Strong lost the title to Tomohiro Ishii.
