Now that the New Japan Cup tournament is finally over, the next big event to take place is the G1 Supercard, which is less than 3 weeks away.
Both New Japan and ROH have been building up the super event with huge matches such as the triple threat ROH World championship bout and the title vs. title match between the respective promotion’s tag team champions.
Now, the company has added several huge matches. Zack Sabre Jr. will be defending his RPW British Heavyweight Championship against Hiroshi Tanahashi and Tetsuya Naito will defend the IWGP Intercontinental Title against Kota Ibushi. In a rematch, Kelly Klein will get another shot at recapturing the Women of Honor World title from Mayu Iwatani. Jushin Thunder Liger has been confirmed for the Honor Rumble match.
One previously announced match has been changed as the Guerrillas of Destiny and Villain Enterprises' PCO and Brody King match is now a fatal four-way. The Briscoes and the team of EVIL and SANADA have been added to the match for the IWGP and Ring of Honor World Tag Team Titles.
