Aside from 2020 and 2021, when the COVID-19 pandemic forced PWG to cancel the tournament, the Battle of Los Angeles has been an annual tournament since 2005. Kenny Omega, Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Ricochet, and El Generico (Sami Zayn) are a few of the past winners, making the Battle of Los Angeles one of the most prestigious tournaments in the independent wrestling world.
