ROH News: First Match Revealed For Saturday Night At Center Stage

The Ring Of Honor Tag Titles are on the line in Atlanta!

Ring Of Honor will return to action this month on January 12th with Saturday Night At Center Stage in Atlanta, followed the next night by Honor Reigns Supreme in Concord, North Carolina.

We’ve already seen a handful of matches announced for Honor Reigns Supreme (see the latest here), however despite coming one day earlier then that event, nothing had been made official yet for Saturday Night At Center Stage’s television taping. That is until today.

Now, Ring Of Honor has begun molding the card for Atlanta, revealing the first match for the show which will see The Briscoes defending the ROH World Tag Team Titles against Best Friends:

The Best Wrestling on the Planet returns to Atlanta on Saturday, Jan. 12 for an international television taping at Center Stage. All the top stars in Ring of Honor will do battle on a can’t-miss, action-packed event.

All roads lead to the G1 Supercard, co-promoted by ROH and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, at sold-out Madison Square Garden on April 6, 2019, and the happenings in Atlanta undoubtedly will have an impact on the historic show.

Just signed for Atlanta is an ROH World Tag Team Title Match pitting champions Jay and Mark Briscoe against Best Friends (Beretta and Chuckie T.).

Jay and Mark Briscoe closed 2018 in typical Briscoes fashion. They captured the ROH World Tag Team Titles for a record 10th time in a Ladder War over The Young Bucks and SCU at Final Battle on Dec. 14, and the following night they took part in one of the darkest moments in ROH history, as they joined Bully Ray, Silas Young and Shane Taylor in ruining The Elite’s farewell. The party crashers brutally beat down The Elite as well as ROH World Champion Jay Lethal, Flip Gordon and Best Friends.

It’s clear the Briscoes are not only as good as they’ve ever been inside the ring, but they’re more dangerous and bloodthirsty than ever. Their demeanor is a stark contrast to that of the usually jovial Best Friends, but the Briscoes will likely see another side of Beretta and Chuckie T. when they meet in Atlanta with the gold on the line.

Despite their penchant for mid-match hugs and crowd-pleasing antics, Best Friends are one of the most talented tag teams in the sport and should never be taken lightly under any circumstances, but now they are as determined to exact revenge as they are to win the ROH World Tag Team Titles for the first time.

The Briscoes and Best Friends have faced each other before, and the last time they were in the ring together — in a three-way match in November that also involved Cody and Adam Page — it was Best Friends who were victorious.

Can Best Friends end the Briscoes’ reign of terror in Atlanta? Or will the Briscoes make Best Friends their latest victims? Join us LIVE to find out!
