The Ring of Honor Tag Team Championships changed hands this weekend in San Antonio.
New Japan Pro Wrestling ran their annual INVASION ATTACK event in Tokyo this week. The main event featured IWGP Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles vs. New Japan Cup 2015 winner Kota Ibushi. This was the show Jeff Jarrett originally wanted to feature as the second English-language show, bringing back Jim Ross and Matt Striker, but obviously that didn’t end up happening.
