Ring Of Honor will present Glory By Honor tomorrow night in Baltimore, Maryland, however there is also the accompanying Glory By Honor television tapings to come on Sunday in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

With only days remaining and just four matches announced for the show, today Ring Of Honor has added a huge match to the lineup as The Briscoes will defend the ROH World Tag Team Titles in a Triple Threat against The Young Bucks and The Addiction:

Three of the greatest teams in ROH history do battle with the richest prize in tag team wrestling on the line when The Briscoes, with over 1,000 cumulative days as ROH World Tag Team Champions across nine reigns, defend against two of the greatest opponents, former three-time ROH World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks and former two-time ROH World Tag Team Champions The Addiction in Philadelphia!

ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE BRISCOES (JAY & MARK) vs. CO-HOLDERS ROH WORLD SIX-MAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS THE YOUNG BUCKS (MATT & NICK JACKSON) vs. THE ADDICTION (CHRISTOPHER DANIELS & FRANKIE KAZARIAN)

The Briscoes head to Philadelphia atop the tag team world but with a match signed against two of their greatest opponents! The Briscoes defeated The Young Bucks at Death Before Dishonor in one of the most competitive matches of 2018 before The Addiction hit the Briscoes with steel chairs!

The Briscoes then defeated The Addition at Death Before Dishonor, making them 4-0 against The Addiction in two-on-two tag team action. But both The Addiction and The Young Bucks have climbed back up the ladder, with the Young Bucks picking up a victory in Vegas and The Addiction picking up a big win against Bullet Club at New Japan’s Fighting Spirit Unleashed. Now, the three teams will meet in Philadelphia with the gold on the line!

The Briscoes have the home field advantage hailing from nearby Delaware, having competed in more classic bouts in Philadelphia than perhaps anyone in ROH! But The Addiction are fighting for their contractual lives, and The Young Bucks are one the most electric teams in wrestling history, capable of defeating anyone!

Who will pick up the victory and leave Philly with gold around their waists? Join us to be the first to find out!

There is nothing like seeing the hard-hitting, in-your-face action that only ROH can deliver!

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.
