Background

Original lineup

On June 4, 2019, PWG announced via its official Twitter handle that the 2019 Battle of Los Angeles tournament would be held on September 19, September 20, and September 22, 2019, at the Globe Theatre in Los Angeles, California. [15] The following participants were announced for the tournament: A-Kid, [7] Jonathan Gresham, [16] Artemis Spencer, [8] Darby Allin, [17] Mick Moretti, [12] Orange Cassidy, [18] Bandido, [19] Caveman Ugg, [9] Jake Atlas, [20] Tony Deppen, [21] Rey Fenix, [22] Lucky Kid, [13] Joey Janela, [23] Brody King, [24] Bárbaro Cavernario, [25] Jungle Boy, [26] Black Taurus, [27] Rey Horus, [28] David Starr, [29] Laredo Kid, [30] the 2018 winner and the World Champion Jeff Cobb, [31] Dragon Lee, [11] PENTA EL 0M [32] and Daisuke Sekimoto. [10]

Replacement

Due to a scheduling conflict, Bárbaro Cavernario was replaced by Aramís. [33] Laredo Kid was unable to compete due to participating in the reality competition series Exatlon and was subsequently replaced by Puma King. [34]

Non-tournament matches

Along with the Battle of Los Angeles tournament, PWG announced several non-tournament matches heading into the event. On August 16, two non-tournament tag team matches were announced for night one: Alex Zayne and Joey Janela versus Blake Christian and Tony Deppen and Lucha Brothers (PENTA EL 0M and Rey Fenix) versus MexaBlood (Bandido and Flamita). A World Tag Team Championship match was scheduled between the champions The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz) and Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) for night two. A match between Aussie Open and The Dark Order (Evil Uno and Stu Grayson) was scheduled to take place on night three, which would turn into a World Tag Team Championship match if Aussie Open were to beat Rascalz for the titles.

However, Davis suffered a ruptured MCL and torn ACL while warming up for his match before BOLA, resulting in both of Aussie Open's matches being changed. The match between Rascalz and Aussie Open on night two was changed to a non-title match with A-Kid being announced as Davis' replacement to team with Fletcher. On night three, Rey Horus and Aramis replaced Aussie Open as Dark Order's opponents while Fletcher would participate in a ten-man tag team match later in the night.
