Zack Sabre Jr. will battle ‘Hot Sauce’ Tracy Williams at Final Battle Fallout!

We’re exactly two weeks out from Ring Of Honor’s next events, Final Battle on December 14th at the Hammerstein Ballroom followed by the Final Battle Fallout television tapings the following night in Philadelphia.





Set for Final Battle will be the ROH debut of Zack Sabre Jr., going one-on-one against Jonathan Gresham (see that announcement here). Now, ROH has added ZSJ to the Final Battle Fallout tapings, announcing that he will take on ‘Hot Sauce’ Tracy Williams in the ‘City of Brotherly Love’:

On Dec. 15, the night after the huge Final Battle pay-per-view, Ring of Honor will present Final Battle Fallout, an international TV taping, at the historic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. What better city for ROH to put an exclamation point on its biggest year ever than The City of Brotherly Love?

The first match signed for the pivotal show features two of the best technical wrestlers and hardest strikers in pro wrestling, as international superstar Zack Sabre Jr. takes on coveted free agent “Hot Sauce” Tracy Williams.

ZACK SABRE JR. vs. TRACY WILLIAMS

Sabre Jr. and Williams both have impressive reputations, and now the two talented competitors are looking to make their mark in ROH. This match will be the second in ROH for both of them.

Sabre Jr. recently answered Jonathan Gresham’s open challenge for a match at Final Battle on Dec. 14 at Manhattan Center’s Hammerstein Ballroom. When Gresham said he wanted to prove he is the best technical wrestler in the world, Sabre Jr. immediately stepped up and declared himself to be the world’s best technical wrestler.

Sabre Jr., a member of the Suzuki-gun faction in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, won the prestigious New Japan World Cup earlier this year by defeating Tetsuya Naito, Kota Ibushi, Sanada and Hiroshi Tanahashi in succession. The London native also won the Battle of Los Angeles tournament in 2015 and has held championships all over the world.

Williams made his ROH debut at Survival of the Fittest earlier this month. The Brooklyn, N.Y., native gave a good account of himself but came up just short in his match against Gresham. Williams’ resume includes victories over the likes of ROH World Television Champion Jeff Cobb, former ROH World Champion Kyle O’Reilly, Colt Cabana, Chris Hero and ACH.

Which of these buzzworthy stars will prevail in Philadelphia? Join us LIVE to find out!

What a start to the tournament!

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.
