At Border Wars 2013 on Saturday, May 4th, GHC Jr. Heavyweight Champion Taiji Ishimori will face off against Eddie Edwards in a non-title matchup. Naomichi Marufuji on the other hand, will go one on one with Davey Richards.

At the TV taping on Sunday, May 5th, Taiji Ishimori will fight Roderick Strong in another non-title matchup and Naomichi Marufuji will face off against Michael Elgin.

Tickets for both Border Wars 2013 and the TV taping are still available here.

- Adam Cole will still receive his ROH World Championship shot at Border Wars 2013, even though Kevin Steen is no longer the champion. Nigel McGuinness had this to say to ROHWrestling.com:

"I declared Adam Cole a contender because he held that Television Title with honor. Adam carried it with integrity and continued the prestigious lineage that was established the day Eddie Edwards was crowned the first champion and continued with Christopher Daniels, El Generico, and the other men who have been champion. Adam showed he had the tools when he challenged Davey Richards last year in Dayton, and just like Jay Briscoe, has stood up for Ring of Honor throughout these issues with SCUM. I can think of no better way to ring in a new dawn for ROH than by presenting the first SCUM free World Title match in a year featuring these two athletes!"
