- Kota Ibushi spoke with Tokyo Sports (translation by Chris Charlton) about the upcoming New Japan Cup 2018 Tournament (full bracket here) and said he was glad Omega wasn't in the tournament, because they would eventually have a match and he didn't want that. Ibushi continued that despite teaming with the Bullet Club on the upcoming tour, he's not attached to any group and also commented on his first-round opponent, YOSHI-HASHI. The New Japan Cup starts on March 9 with the winner receiving a shot at the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
