Resurgence (2023) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). It took place on May 21, 2023, at the Walter Pyramid in Long Beach, California. It was the second event under the Resurgence name.[2]

Ten matches were contested at the event, including two on the pre-show. In the main event, Willow Nightingale defeated Mercedes Moné to win the inaugural Strong Women's Championship. In other prominent matches, Juice Robinson defeated Fred Rosser in a Street Fight, Kenta defeated Hikuleo to win the Strong Openweight Championship, Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley and Wheeler Yuta) and Shota Umino defeated Chaos (Kazuchika Okada, Rocky Romero and Tomohiro Ishii) in a six-man tag team match, and Will Ospreay defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi. The event also saw appearances from Toni Storm, Eddie Kingston (via a video package) and Kyle Fletcher, who announced the vacation of both the IWGP Tag Team Championships and Strong Openweight Tag Team Championships on behalf of Aussie Open, due to Mark Davis's injury.
