"We are very proud of reDRagon's accomplishments in winning the IWGP Titles," said Ring of Honor Chief Operating Officer Joe Koff. "While they are signed to exclusive deals with ROH, it is a great honor to have them competing in New Japan Pro Wrestling, a most prestigious organization."
The new agreement will allow top talent from each organization to wrestle on major events with international interest. Later this month, Michael Bennett and Matt Taven with Maria Kanellis will take part in the legendary New Japan Pro Wrestling World Tag League tournament.

"We have the utmost respect for New Japan," said Koff. "They are a truly classy organization. We look forward to a long standing relationship so that our talent can appear in Japan and their talent can wrestle at our events in America."
