New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor present the first of two huge “Honor Rising” cards tonight, live on New Japan World from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.
The major story of tonight’s show is the return of Kenny Omega, and in fact the return of the entire Bullet Club faction, for the first time since the night after Wrestle Kingdom 11. Omega will team with ROH World Champion Adam Cole to take on The Briscoes, while Cody Rhodes and Hangman Page lock up with Katsuyori Shibata and Jay Lethal. There’s also a big Bullet Club vs. Chaos 8-man tag team match, and the Young Bucks are in action against War Machine.
This is definitely going to be a late one, even by NJPW standards, for fans in the United States. Due to a scheduling conflict, Wrestlezone will not have live coverage of tonight’s event, but we will have detailed results shortly after the event’s conclusion. You can watch the show, which will have English commentary, on New Japan World kicking off at 4:30 a.m. EST.
