Bullet Club has been making waves around the globe with their brash, arrogant attitudes and their amazing in-ring skill that backs it up. The wrestling world has been abuzz with the news that the IWGP World Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Guerrillas of Destiny (G.O.D.) were signed to compete in Chicago Ridge. Now, ROH Matchmaker Nigel McGuinness has announced the match they will be a part of at GLOBAL WARS!
EIGHT-MAN TAG TEAM MATCH
BULLET CLUB (IWGP World Heavyweight Tag Team Champions G.O.D. and The Young Bucks) vs. MOTOR CITY MACHINE GUNS, REBORN MATT SYDAL, & IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion KUSHIDA
Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa won the IWGP World Heavyweight Tag Team Championships in their first match teaming together in New Japan Pro-Wrestling. The two brothers, and sons of legendary Haku, will make their ROH debut at GLOBAL WARS and they aren’t coming alone! Fellow Bullet Club members Matt and Nick Jackson, The Young Bucks, will join them in a battle against four of the top junior heavyweight stars in the world!
The Motor City Machine Guns are no strangers to the Young Bucks; the two teams competed in the main even of Supercard of Honor X and tore the house down. Both teams are former IWGP Jr. Heavyweight tag team champions and are incredibly evenly matched. The Guns will team up with one half of the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight tag team champions Reborn Matt Sydal and IWGP World Jr. Heavyweight Champion KUSHIDA, forming a never-before-seen, four-man dream team!
Despite a mutual respect that has grown for years between the Bucks and the Guns, the question remains if Bullet Club will be able to resist the urge to bend the rules in their favor in Chicago Ridge. With Tonga and Loa looking to make impressive debuts, expect them to be taken to the limit by the team of Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Sydal, and KUSHIDA! To see this eight-man battle, you HAVE to join us live on pay-per-view!
