- NEVER Openweight Champion, Minoru Suzuki, spoke with NJPW on a number of topics including his upcoming ROH World Championship match against Cody Rhodes at tonight's Death Before Dishonor XV PPV. Despite being the challenger in this specific match, Suzuki thinks otherwise.
"Get this right. I am not the 'challenger' here," Suzuki said. "Cody, ROH, the whole of America is choosing to challenge Minoru Suzuki. That's what this match is. But it doesn't matter to me. All of America! Stand up and come at me. Just try."
