Katsuyori Shibata für ROH „Death Before Dishonor XIV“ PPV am 19. August 2016 & ROH „Death Before Dishonor XIV: TV-Taping“ am 20. August 2016 offiziell bestätigt

NJPW will be represented by their top competitors at both Friday’s pay-per-view and Saturday’s national TV taping.

The next NJPW star confirmed for that weekend’s huge events is Katsuyori Shibata.

A hard-hitting, no-nonsense competitor, Shibata will be making his first appearance on an ROH card in the United States.

A second-generation star, Shibata is the two-time and current NEVER Openweight Champion and a former co-holder of the IWGP Tag Team Championship with Hirooki Goto.

Shibata and Goto defeated The Bullet Club’s Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson to win the 2014 World Tag League tournament, and a month later they beat Gallows and Anderson again to capture the IWGP Tag Team Title.

In addition to pro wrestling, Shibata also has competed in Mixed Martial Arts and kickboxing.
