Ring of Honor's tour with New Japan next week has a different feel in terms of champions representing NJPW.

New Japan's "Wrestling Dontaku" event Sunday in Tokyo produced two new champions - Young Bucks as IWGP Jr. Hvt. tag champions and Shinsuke Nakamura no longer the IWGP Intercontinental champion.

Nakamura was not scheduled to defend the IWGP IC Title on the North American tour, but he will no longer be representing the title in Philadelphia and Toronto.

Meanwhile, The Young Bucks's title victory sets up a mega-tag team champions showdown on Night 1 (May 12 in Philadelphia).

The match will now feature ROH tag champions The Addiction (Christopher Daniels & Kazarian) vs. the Young Bucks vs. IWGP World tag champions The Kingdom (Matt Taven & Michael Bennett w/Maria Kanellis) in a three-team tag match.
