Ishii and Minoru Suzuki got to continue their rivalry last night while Zack Sabre Jr. was in America competing at Ring Of Honor’s ‘Final Battle’ pay-per-view. At Wrestle Kingdom 13, Sabre Jr. will take on Ishii for the RPW British Heavyweight Championship but in the meantime head over to Fightful’s coverage article of ‘Final Battle’ to read up on how Z.S.J. fared against Jonathan Gresham.
