So far we've got:

MCMG, ACH, & Lio Rush vs. Bullet Club (Young Bucks, Page, & Yujiro)

and...


KYLE VS. SHIBATA

see, Kyle vs Shibata would have been awesome at DBD, not at a crappy baseball field were crowds usually suck

The crowd sucked the first year but was fine the second year. This also lets them give it however much time they want as opposed to being constrained to PPV time limits.

in a match that makes no sense, Hiroshi Tanahashi joins Bullet Club to team with Adam Cole vs Jay Lethal and Naito

You read it wrong. It's a Four Corner Survival match for the title (I assume that whoever loses at the PPV the previous week will take the pinfall.

Fish defends the TV Title against EVIL.

Elgin vs Dijak for the IWGP IC Title
MCMG + Lio Rush + ACH vs Bullet Club

Am I the only one who isn't happy that this is for the IC Title? It just makes the outcome that much more obvious.

yeah, plus Dijak doesn't deserve one at all.

Just like EVIL doesn't deserve a TV Title shot. They need to start treating the titles (in both ROH and New Japan... and TNA while we're at it) as something so big that shots at them have to be earned... and not easily, either.

gauntlet announced for the tag titles including

Addiction, War Machine, ANX, Briscoes, Gedo/Yano, Ferrara/Burger

It's actually for a shot at the tag titles that will take place right there and then... unless the Addiction lose the tag titles at the PPV, in which case the title shot will come at a later date. And although it really sucks to announce something as a tag title match and then not have it be, I can totally see Delirious think it's a good idea to put the belts on Tanahashi and Elgin or Naito & EVIL until the next PPV just for the hell of doing it. It's nice that they're covering their kayfabe bases, but it'd be even nicer if our options weren't A) match originally advertised as essentially being for the tag titles but then won't be or B) match that will wind up meaning nothing because they won't change the titles on one of these dumb "instant reward" deals anyway, especially because of how much a waste it would be for ether the Briscoes or War Machine to win the titles like this, especially when they could have just done it on PPV a week earlier.

They've got, like 30 guys booked for this show. Silas, KUSHIDA, and Castle are announced but don't yet have a match, and one would expect that at least Jay White if not also Kamaitachi would be on the show. And keep in mind that this is the show that Okada and Gedo and the Guerrillas of Destiny AREN'T on.

Castle vs Kushida has been confirmed

This was pretty great a few months ago, but like last time, it's on an over-crowded card. Hopefully this time it gets more than thirteen minutes.
