KENTA and Tomohiro Ishii are the first two NJPW wrestlers confirmed for this year’s ROH-NJPW War of the Worlds tour.

ROH announced today that KENTA and Ishii are set for all four shows on the War of the Worlds tour. The dates and locations for it are:

  • Wednesday, May 6: Buffalo RiverWorks, Buffalo, New York
  • Thursday, May 7: Ted Reeve Arena, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
  • Saturday, May 9: Wings Event Center, Kalamazoo, Michigan
  • Sunday, May 10: The Odeum Expo Center, Villa Park, Illinois

Tickets for all four shows went on sale to HonorClub members this morning. They’ll go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. local time this Friday.

KENTA is also set for ROH Supercard of Honor XIV on Saturday, April 4. In his first match for ROH since 2009, KENTA will be teaming with Taiji Ishimori against Jeff Cobb & Dan Maff at that show.

Aside from being in the pre-show Honor Rumble match at G1 Supercard last year, the War of the Worlds tour will be the first time Ishii has wrestled for ROH since 2018.

ROH and NJPW have partnered together for War of the Worlds every year since 2014.
