Kenny Omega booked for Chicago ‘Global Wars’ show for first IWGP US title defense

Ring of Honor announced a bonus date to their second American Global Wars tour of the year earlier today. In addition to Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Columbus, the honorable ring will also be headed to Chicago and they’ll be bringing one of New Japan’s biggest stars.

Kenny Omega will make the first defense of his IWGP United States Heavyweight Title in Chicago on October 15th against a yet to be named opponent. Omega won the title against Tomohiro Ishii in the finals of a 8-man tournament in Long Beach earlier this month.

As per usual, the Global Wars tour will feature stars from Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. The Odeum Expo Center in Villa Park, which is technically right outside of Chicago, will be the final stop on the tour; tickets go on sale this Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET for ROH ringside members and at 10 a.m. ET Friday for the general public. You can get more details on Ring of Honor’s official website.
