A new challenger has emerged.
Bandido is looking for his shot at the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Title. ROH released a video of Bandido, looking comfortable on his balcony, issuing a challenge to Taiji Ishimori and Dragon Lee, asking to be added to their bout at ROH-NJPW G1 Supercard. Bandido stated there needs an ROH representative in the match. Ishimori represents NJPW while Lee represents CMLL.
