Card announced for ROH's return to Japan

[Soulpower]

For the first night, anyways.

Ring Of Honor will return to Japan for two huge events on September 13th and 14th. Both cards will be held at Differ Ariake in Tokyo. The first night will feature the stars of Dragon Gate while the second night will see cooperation from Pro Wrestling NOAH, Kensuke Office and DDT. The lineup for the first night is finalized and the talent list for night two is almost complete. Here is all the info:

The Briscoes vs Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black (ROH Tag Titles)
Note:This match could change depending on what happens in the next couple of shows with the tag titles

Nigel McGuiness vs Bryan Danielson (Non-Title match)

Roderick Strong vs Davey Richards W/Larry Sweeney (Grudge Match)

Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino and BxB Hulk vs El Generico, Dragon Kid and ??? (Dragon Gate Rules)

Austin Aries vs Ryo Saito

Eddie Edwards vs YAMATO

The card for the 2nd night will be announced next week. It will feature the debuts of Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Katsuhiko Nakajima and KENSUKE F'N SASAKI. KENTA, Marufuji and Kota Ibushi will also be on the show.

Night one looks like a good show, but with the debuts for night 2.. The 2nd night could end up being one of the better shows of the year.

Thoughts on the card?

Nigel McGuiness vs Bryan Danielson (Non-Title match)

FUCK YEA!! Night 1 is awesome already. I might actually buy the DVD for this when it comes out

These are two pretty stacked cards.

I was kinda pumped to see both Generico and Jacobs getting title shots. Too bad they aren't at bigger events. This leads me to think it may be Danielson/Nigel at FInal Battle.

Surprised Jacobs gets his shot in Tokyo too.
