The next match announcement for Field of Honor '15 is...
A matchup featuring the new IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Kazuchika "Rainmaker" Okada, facing off against the #1 Contender for the ROH World Championship, "Mr ROH" Roderick Strong, is now signed for Field of Honor '15!
Both men have carved out legendary careers, earning the top prizes in their respective companies and displaying the endurance and fortitude to win matches in high-pressure situations time after time. Just look at what each man has accomplished:
Roderick Strong is one of two men to have earned the right to be called a "Triple Crown Winner" in Ring of Honor, having held the ROH World Championship, ROH World Television Championship and the ROH World Tag Team Championship. Strong walked into "Best in the World" holding one of the best won/lost records in ROH in 2015 and defeated Moose and "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin to become the #1 Contender for the ROH World Championship.
After defeating "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles this past weekend, Kazuchika Okada is now a 3 time IWGP Heavyweight Champion. He is a two-time G1 Climax Tournament winner. In fact he is the youngest winner in that prestigious tournament's history. Okada will come into Field of Honor fresh off competing in his 4th G1 Climax tournament. For those unfamiliar, the G1 Climax is 20 man tournament spread out across 19 events and is without a doubt one of the most physically grueling tournaments in wrestling! Okada will need to be as healthy as possible coming into this battle with Strong. He will be facing one of the hottest wrestlers today, one that is hungry and looking for every opportunity to prove he is the very best. This dream match is one that will leave the world talking!

War! War! War! That's what the fans in attendance at Field of Honor will see on Saturday Night August 22! War Machine, Raymond Rowe & Hanson, will finally get their much talked about rematch with Pro Wrestling Noah GHC Tag Team Champions & NWA World Tag Team Champions, The Killer Elite Squad: Davey Boy Smith Jr & Lance Archer.
The issues with War Machine and K.E.S. date back to Michael Elgin bringing in the K.E.S. in to destroy War Machine this past April. The highly anticipated match between saw destruction, chaos and was as hard hitting as speculated. The two teams brought enough carnage that night that the referee had to declare the match a 'no contest.' This left not only the ROH fans wanting more, but also the both K.E.S. and War Machine wanting more. Well, want no more!
The K.E.S. and War Machine have unfinished business. This match will not feature glitz or glamour. This will not be about trading holds and trying to outdo each other. This match will be pure unadulterated violence and brutality. This will be about one team trying to win a war! War Machine still covets a chance at the GHC Tag Team Championships. K.E.S. are tired of hearing fans bring up War Machine! They are tired of hearing the comparisons and are looking to end it in Brooklyn!
Will Coney Island witness the extinction of War Machine or the annihilation of the K.E.S.? Can Brooklyn contain the force of these two teams hell bent on destroying the other? Be there on August 22 to witness the next stage in an epic war.
