10/8 UPDATE: At a pre-event presser for DESTRUCTION, a late change was announced for the event: Lio Rush is off due to the illness that kept him off the last few events. He was to have faced IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi and Mike Bailey in a 3-way for the title. Yoh is the replacement. Monitor for potentially more last-second changes as Bailey could be cutting it close on making it to the event in time due to other international commitments.
