Four-time GHC Heavyweight Champion Marufuji returned to in-ring action on August 5th after being sidelined since May due to knee pain.

‘High Intensity’ is scheduled for Sunday, August 28th, at the Terminal 5 venue in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City.

The current card for the event:

  • Eddie Kingston vs. Naomichi Marufuji
  • HOG Crown Jewel Championship: Charles Mason vs. Joey Janela
  • World Heavyweight Championship Final Round Match: Fatu vs. Brody King
  • Malakai Black vs. Amazing Red
  • Killer Kross vs. Low Ki
  • Matt Travis Memorial Battle Royal
  • Buddy Matthews in action

Kingston vs. Marufuji and the House of Black? If I weren’t busy that day at a party with friends, I would watch this show. Not sure if I can convince friends to order it.

I’ve been to Terminal 5 years ago when ROH ran Final Battle there. I wasn’t a fan of the place considering previous Final Battles were in the Manhattan Center, but I’ve definitely been to worse venues since.
