Ring Of Honor COO Joe Koff and New Japan Pro Wrestling President Naoki Sugibayashi announced to the live crowd prior to last night’s tapings that the working relationship between both sides is stronger than it has ever been before and that Ring of Honor will be running two live events in Japan in February 2016 with the ROH World Championship being defended on those shows.

It was also announced that the New Japan Pro Wrestling stars will be part of the 14th Anniversary show for Ring of Honor in Las Vegas in February and that the annual New Japan Pro Wrestling tour in the United States in May will be expanded to more cities and with more New Japan Pro Wrestling talent.

An official announcement is expected to be made sometime this weekend.
