ROH News: KUSHIDA Added To Global Wars, First Tour Match Announced
Ring Of Honor will be off on the Chris Jericho Cruise to close out the month of October, then it’s Pittsburgh for Steel City Excellence on November 3rd, Survival Of The Fittest on the 4th in Columbus and then Global Wars 2018 kicks off in Lewiston, Maine on November 7th.
Already, a handful of New Japan Pro Wrestling stars have been announced for the tour as Los Ingobernables de Japon’s Tetsuya Naito, BUSHI, EVIL and SANADA will all be a part of the four Global Wars shows. Now, ROH has since revealed KUSHIDA as the next man from NJPW participating and today, announced the first match for the tour as Naito, BUSHI, EVIL and SANADA meet KUSHIDA, Chris Sabin, Jonathan Gresham and ROH World Champion Jay Lethal in Lewiston:
Ring of Honor makes its long-awaited debut in Maine on Wednesday November 7 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee with the opening night of Global Wars! All four nights of the Global Wars Tour will air LIVE for HonorClub and the main event for Night 1 Lewiston has been signed!
MAIN EVENT, EIGHT-MAN TAG
ROH WORLD CHAMPION JAY LETHAL, JONATHAN GRESHAM, CHRIS SABIN, AND IWGP JR. HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION KUSHIDA vs. LOS INGOBERNABLES DE JAPON (NAITO, EVIL, SANADA, & BUSHI)
Two of the biggest stars in the world, Jay Lethal and Tetsuya Naito, lead their teams into battle in an eight-man tag team main event worthy of Global Wars! The Ring of Honor World Champion Lethal and the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Naito once flirted with the idea of Lethal joining Los Ingobernables de Japon following Lethal’s successful defense of the ROH World Championship at Wrestle Kingdom in 2016.
But after one win against the team of Kazuchika Okada and YOSHI-HASHI at Honor Rising 2016, the pair lost to reDRagon on Night 1 of War of the Worlds 2016 and dissention began to show. The two would face each other one-on-one that September where Lethal defeated Naito but the two have not crossed paths since then.
In Lewiston, Lethal and Naito captain their teams, Lethal’s team filled with men who have earned his respect as opponents like Jonathan Gresham and current IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion KUSHIDA, as well as KUSHIDA’s new tag team partner, Chris Sabin while Naito’s teammates include long-time Los Ingobernables allies former IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions EVIL and SANADA and long-time KUSHIDA rival and former IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion BUSHI!
Who will pick up the victory in this HUGE main event? Buy your ticket and join us LIVE or watch LIVE as all four nights are being broadcast LIVE for HonorClub!

TNA Impact on AMC Drops to 175,000 Viewers, 0.03 18-49 Rating Amid Heavy Sports Competition
TNA Thursday Night Impact averaged 175,000 viewers on AMC last week, a 17.5% decline from the previous week’s 212,000 and the lowest audience since January 22. The show posted a 0.03 rating in the key 18-49 demo, down 25% and matching its lowest demo figure on AMC since the move.
The drop coincided with stiff competition — Impact ran opposite the NFL Draft (simulcast on ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network) as well as NHL and NBA playoff coverage, leaving the program tied for 70th on the primetime cable charts. Versus the prior 10-week average (0.04 rating and 240,300 viewers), last week’s show fell 25% in the demo and 27.2% in overall viewers.

Nick Hogan Open to Pursuing In-Ring Career After Viewing Hulk Hogan: Real American
Nick Hogan told the Bonus Edition of the 83 Weeks podcast that after watching the final version of Hulk Hogan: Real American he’s more open than ever to stepping into the ring if the opportunity presents itself. Hogan said he’s been knocking off ring rust, is in good shape and “would absolutely welcome” the chance to pursue an in‑ring career, and noted the docuseries — which premiered on Netflix on April 22, 2026 — helped clarify his father’s legacy.
He also praised the series for pulling back the curtain on the many facets of Hulk Hogan, from character work to charitable efforts, saying it showed how dynamic a person his father is. Nick added that the long-discussed Chris Hemsworth biopic from 2019 remains a possibility despite delays, as the documentary continues to renew interest in Hogan’s story.
