– Yesterday morning, Ring of Honor’s Adam Cole, Michael Bennett, Maria Kanellis and reDRagon, Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly who are also the ROH World Tag Team Champions, appeared at NJPW’s G1 Climax 24 Finals at the Seibu Dome in Tokorozawa, Japan. Cole and Bennett, managed by Maria, collectively known in ROH as The Kingdom, defeated Captain New Japan and Jushin “Thunder” Liger in tag team action when Bennett defeated Captain New Japan with a Piledriver. Meanwhile, reDRagon were defeated by The Timesplitters, Alex Shelley and KUSHIDA, who retained the IWGP Jr. Tag Team Championships in the process.

Japanese speaking fans have noted that the commentators of NJPW put over ROH throughout both matches and its stars, describing it as, “the top wrestling promotion in America”. While some will see this as a sight at WWE and TNA, in Japan, WWE is viewed as a form of entertainment such as a circus, while NJPW may have intentionally ignored TNA due to their poor relationship caused by TNA’s misuse of NJPW young boys when sent on excursion, such as this years G1 Climax winner, Kazuchika Okada.
