You're being too vague. More info or a hint please.

I'm being purposely vague. It's a talent that has never appeared at an ROH event.

In addition, this talent will be having a dream match with one of the tippy-top stars in the company. This same tippy-top ROH star will have another dream match with a tippy-top NJPW star.

Hmmm. I know you have to be vague to protect your source, but you've really piqued my interest, brother.

Okay, I'll spill the beans.

Both nights will be headlined by Jay Lethal defending the ROH Title against Captain New Japan and Manabu Nakanishi.

I think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself. Night 2 could well be Nakanishi challenging the captain for the ROH World Title.

I can see the Briscoes defending the NEVER trios title with Toru Yano against the team of Elgin, Tanahashi, and Juice Robinson or KUSHIDA.
