ROH News: ROH World Title Match Now Official For Death Before Dishonor

Published

on

Ring Of Honor’s Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view is less than two weeks away now from the Orleans Arena in Sin City itself, Las Vegas.

A number of matches for the show, as well as the Death Before Dishonor TV tapings the following night, have already been announced. Today, the promotion’s top title was added to the PPV lineup as Ring Of Honor has officially added Jay Lethal vs. Will Ospreay for the ROH World Championship:

Jay Lethal is among the most decorated champions Ring of Honor has ever seen. Nearly three months into his second reign as Ring of Honor World Champion, Lethal has crossed 500 days across both of his reigns.
In his second reign, Lethal has already had historic defenses against Jonathan Gresham, Flip Gordon, and Mark Haskins, defending the championship on both sides of the Atlantic. Already the longest-reigning ROH World Television Champion of all-time, Lethal sits less than 40 days behind Nigel McGuinness for second-most days all-time as ROH World Champion and under 140 days to catch Samoa Joe for most days all-time.

With over 30 defenses, Lethal has the potential to break the record of most defenses of all-time, as well. But he is not interested coasting into history and has issued an open challenge for the best of the best to face him in Las Vegas at Death Before Dishonor! And a man who won the Ring of Honor World Television Championship in his first ROH match will challenge Lethal for the Championship in his first opportunity at the ROH World Championship!

MAIN EVENT
RING OF HONOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
RING OF HONOR WORLD CHAMPION JAY LETHAL vs. WILL OSPREAY

Will Ospreay made history when he successfully challenged and defeated Bobby Fish for the Ring of Honor World Television Championship in his very first ROH match. The victory capped of a banner year when he became both the youngest-ever and the only British winner ever of the Best of Super Juniors Tournament. Since then, Ospreay has been categorically one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling whether it is Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro-Wrestling, in his native UK, Australia, and in other countries!

Ospreay answered Lethal’s open challenge in Philadelphia, in a move that surprised many. But for Lethal, the challenge was not surprising at all. Ospreay’s last match in Ring of Honor was in December 2017 in a losing effort against Jay Lethal. Lethal made a quest of avenging all previous losses before he would challenge again for the ROH World Championship. The parallels to Lethal’s quest are striking and are not lost on either man in this World Championship clash!
Ospreay possesses an array of aerial maneuvers that are difficult for anyone to counter or even anticipate. The variety of his offense has put him in a position to surprise even the most accomplished and well-studied athletes. And the former IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion has his sights set on the biggest prize in ROH!

Who will leave Las Vegas with the Championship around their waist? Join us LIVE in Vegas, on Pay Per View, or as it is broadcast for HonorClub VIP to find out!
Death Before Dishonor returns to Las Vegas, the Fight Capital of the World, LIVE on Pay Per View and for HonorClub VIP on Friday September 28 at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT and returns the next night for an International Television Taping with all of your favorite ROH stars! Championships will be decided and feuds ended and YOU can watch it all LIVE!

Mitchell’s AEW Continental Classic Update! (11/27/23)

What a start to the tournament!

Published

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

  • Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
  • Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
  • Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
  • Rush: 0-1, 0 points
  • Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
  • Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

 

Here are your Blue League standings!

  • Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
  • Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
  • Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
  • Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
  • Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
  • Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

 

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
