Ring of Honor is scheduled to make its debut this summer in Japan with joint events on July 16 in Tokyo with Pro Wrestling NOAH and on July 17 in Osaka with Dragon's Gate.

ROH booker Gabe Sapolosky recently commented on the situation to PWInsider adding the following: "Right now we are finalizing the details of ROH's first tour of Japan for July. There will be two shows. The Japanese have made it clear that they want authentic ROH shows and these will be authentic ROH shows, but we will have a talent pool available to us that we have never had before. I want to thank NOAH and Dragon Gate for making it possible and these will be two of the most important events in ROH history."
