If I had any say Roddy would be the most logical successor to the TV title. He's been the unsung hero for too long, deserves a trinket for his services and can have a nice long run having A+ matches with new guys.

TWO BIG MATCHES ADDED TO ROH'S KALAMAZOO RETURN
Friday, October 23rd - Wing's Event Center - Kalamazoo, MI



GLORY BY HONOR XIV is just a few weeks away and this year the ROH tradition is coming to Kalamazoo! Fans at this massive show will get to witness all the action live for the taped-for-TV event. With FINAL BATTLE mere months away, every single match and moment is even more important than ever for the stars of ROH. We have just confirmed two more matches signed for October 23rd:

- ACH vs. CEDRIC ALEXANDER w/VEDA SCOTT

Two of Ring of Honor's most exciting, brightest stars clash at GLORY BY HONOR! These two men have taken very different paths as of late, with one driven by bitterness while the other is pure motivation.

After finding himself on a losing streak and growing more frustrated by the day, Cedric Alexander decided to try some dishonorable tactics. It worked - and it caught the attention of Veda Scott, who was on the lookout for a client with the ruthless edge (and disregard for the rules) that she felt Moose was missing.

But coming off a brutal No Disqualification match against Moose at ALL STAR EXTRAVAGANZA, there's no telling what Cedric and Veda have planned next. But we DO know who's lined up for them in Kalamazoo: ACH!

On the other side of the coin, ACH channeled his own desire to improve into a challenge series against his partner, Matt Sydal. While Sydal is currently competing in Japan, ACH has continued to up his game here in ROH, including a big victory in a recent Four Corner Survival match in Lockport on the ROH Reloaded Tour. He has now earned himself a spot on the ROH ALL STARS team - but first he has to get through Cedric Alexander the night before in Kalamazoo!

- ADAM COLE vs. DALTON CASTLE

A DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR rematch comes to GLORY BY HONOR! Back in July, Dalton Castle challenged former ROH World Champion Adam Cole in one of the highest profile matches of Castle's career. Now, mere months later, these two clash again - but as viscerally changed men.

Adam Cole has finally shown his true colors. We now know that his overtures of friendship and respect to his former partner, Kyle O'Reilly, were nothing more than deception as part of The Kingdom's master plan. Cole is - by his own gloating admission - a snake. He plays dirty and will manipulate the emotions of his so-called friends if it serves his plan.

How dangerous is a wounded peacock? We'll find out when Dalton Castle steps through the curtain in Kalamazoo! Castle lost his Boys to Silas Young as per the stipulation of their match at ALL STAR EXTRAVAGANZA. We have yet to see exactly how much this has affected him, but speculation is that without The Boys, Dalton Castle will be forced to change his entire in-ring game plan.

This is a rematch you don't want to miss: ADAM COLE vs. DALTON CASTLE in Kalamazoo at GLORY BY HONOR XIV!

Plus, all the rest of your favorite ROH stars will be in Kalamazoo wowing you with you the best professional wrestling on the planet! To get your tickets for GLORY BY HONOR on October 23rd, click HERE!

4 BIG MATCHES SIGNED FOR 10/24 IN DAYTON INCLUDING A WOMEN OF HONOR MATCH UP
Saturday, October 24th - Montgomery County Fairgrounds - Dayton, Ohio



The ROH tradition of CHAMPIONS VS. ALL STARS returns this year on October 24th! This year, we are coming to you from Dayton, OH for a huge night of your favorite ROH stars, capped off by the Champions vs. All Stars challenge match. In this match, all the current ROH champions unite to form one team. On the other side, the men considered to be the most on-fire athletes in Ring of Honor and some of the top title contenders.

Now we have some additional matches for this huge card coming to Dayton!

SILAS YOUNG & BEER CITY BRUISER w/ THE BOYS VS. ANX (KENNY KING & RHETT TITUS)

The All Night Express shocked the professional wrestling world when they returned to Ring of Honor at All Star Extravaganza, answered the Briscoes open challenge, and defeated the former eight-time ROH World Tag Team Champions with the One Night Stand. That same night in San Antonio, “The Last Real Man” Silas Young used a low blow to defeat Dalton Castle and win The Boys.

Young has enlisted the help of the Beer City Bruiser to turn The Boys into men while forming a formidable tag team in the process. The Wisconsin natives Young and Bruiser look to climb the tag team ranks while ANX try to continue their momentum that is carrying them toward a shot at the tag team championships they never lost!

ADAM COLE VS. WILL FERRARA

Since revealing part of the Kingdom’s master plan at All Star Extravaganza, Adam Cole has very publicly stated his goals for the remainder of 2015: eradicate Kyle O’Reilly from Ring of Honor and recapture the ROH World Title. Cole is on his way to earning a ROH World Title shot in the eyes of many but he has a major obstacle in his way in Dayton.
Parkside, NY native Will Ferrara has been picking up victories in singles and tag team competition and is looking for a career-defining victory. Ferrara has the biggest test of his career in front of him in the former ROH World champion. Will Cole’s hatred of O’Reilly and tunnel-vision focus on the ROH World Title be the opening Ferrara needs to score the upset?

4 CORNER SURVIVAL
ADAM PAGE w/ BJ WHITMER VS. CEDRIC ALEXANDER w/ VEDA SCOTT VS. DALTON CASTLE VS. CLIFF COMPTON

As we move to the last throws of 2015, Adam Page has zoomed beyond talks of Most Improved wrestler straight into ROH title contender. Page has dispatched many top stars under the guidance of mentor BJ Whitmer but may have bit off more than he can chew entering this four-corner survival match in Dayton!

Standing in the ring with Page will be Veda Scott’s top client Cedric Alexander, who has used any means necessary to rack up victory after victory, Dalton Castle, the man with the presence of Freddy Mercury and world championship wrestling ability, and Cliff Compton, making his return to Ring of Honor.

Normally, Castle would be the wild card but Compton’s propensity for brawling could take this match in a direction no competitor wants to go in! Similarly, how will Whitmer and Scott factor into the match on the outside of the ring? One thing is for sure: the winner of this match will certainly cement themselves as a top contender for Ring of Honor singles gold.

WOMEN OF HONOR
KELLY KLEIN w/ BJ WHITMER VS. RAY LYNN

When Ring of Honor left California, PA, the wrestling world was buzzing: who is Kelly Klein?
BJ Whitmer has become known for adding tremendous young talent to add to the Decade, but Whitmer introduced the physically-imposing Klein, the mystery woman, complete with chiseled arms and black eye, as having over ten years of experience and having paid her dues. Intrigued fans of Women of Honor have lobbied matchmaker Nigel McGuiness, wanting to see this mysterious competitor, and he has delivered a huge Women of Honor contest for Dayton!

Klein is just the latest edition to the rapidly growing Women of Honor. Klein reportedly has her eyes set on nothing short of destruction and will get her first opportunity in Women of Honor action against a fiery youngster who has made her mark in Ohio Valley Wrestling, Ray Lynn. Lynn was trained by Al Snow and has a tremendous win/loss record in two years of competition on the independent circuit. Despite Klein being cloaked in secrecy, Lynn is up for the challenge in Dayton!

Saturday, October 24th - Montgomery County Fairgrounds - Dayton, Ohio



GLORY BY HONOR XIV weekend is going to make ROH history! The ROH tradition of CHAMPIONS vs ALL STARS returns this year on October 24th. This year, Ring of Honor brings the best wrestling on the planet to Dayton, OH for a huge night of favorite ROH stars, capped off by the Champions vs All Stars challenge match! In this match, all the current ROH champions unite to form one team. On the other side, three of the hottest athletes and top title contenders in Ring of Honor. But that's not all we've lined up for our return to Ohio...

- JAY & MARK BRISCOE vs WAR MACHINE (RAY ROWE & HANSON)

The next chapter in the brutal story between Dem Boys and War Machine will be written in Dayton on October 24th! These two teams have battled before, and every single time they've clashed has been an all-out war. Four men who aren't afraid to FIGHT means we have absolutely no idea how wild this match could get!

The brothers from Sandy Fork are record-holding EIGHT-time ROH World Tag Team Champions. Quite simply, the Briscoes have set the standard for tag team competition in ROH. And the surest way to make an impact on the scene is to take them to the limit! That was War Machine's goal when this competitive rivalry began last year. In the interim, Hanson and Rowe have established themselves as one of the wrestling world's most dominant teams in their own right!

War Machine have been garnering attention all around the world, including a recent stint in Pro Wrestling NOAH that will no doubt lead to future competition in Japan, but they've yet to claim gold in ROH, the ultimate goal of every team here. With the tag team field hotter and more competitive than ever before, every single match is a critical opportunity to prove you deserve championship opportunities!

In addition to this tag team battle, we know that Donovan Dijak will square off with former ROH World Champion "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin! Plus, the main event CHAMPIONS vs ALL STARS challenge headlining the night! Keep checking right here at ROHWrestling.com for all the latest updates on matches signed for GLORY BY HONOR XIV: Night 2.

Strongly considering hitting up Glory by Honor night 2 next Saturday. It's a little over a 3 hour drive, but it's a Saturday night and I don't have to work until 1 the next day. But the main event being a 6 man tag, featuring The Kingdom and ACH, that's kind of got me on the fence about it. If Lethal or Styles were working a singles match, or if The Addiction or Young Bucks were on the card, it'd be a slam dunk.

ELGIN VS DIJAK JUST SIGNED FOR GBH XIV IN DAYTON
Saturday, October 24th - Montgomery County Fairgrounds - Dayton, Ohio



Night 2 of GLORY BY HONOR XIV just keeps getting bigger! And the ROH tradition of CHAMPIONS VS. ALL STARS returns this year on October 24th. This year, we are coming to you from Dayton, OH for a huge night of your favorite ROH stars, capped off by the Champions vs. All Stars challenge match! In this match, all the current ROH champions unite to form one team. On the other side, the men considered to be the most on-fire athletes in Ring of Honor and some of the top title contenders.

But this massive main event is not even close to all we have lined up for Ring of Honor's return to Dayton. Head Matchmaker Nigel McGuinness has just confirmed another match signed for Dayton, and it will cap off a potentially career-changing GLORY BY HONOR weekend for the current ROH Top Prospect...

- DONOVAN DIJAK w/TRUTH MARTINI vs. "UNBREAKABLE" MICHAEL ELGIN

24 hours removed from his match against AJ Styles, Donovan Dijak squares off against a former ROH champion! Ever since winning the 2015 ROH Top Prospect Tournament, all eyes have been focused on Dijak. It is an enormous amount of pressure, and less talented - and less confident - athletes would have cracked by down. But Donovan Dijak quickly realized that the surest path to success in ROH is surrounding yourself with the good people. Now, virtually no one can make a case that the likes of Truth Martini constitute "good" people, but you also cannot argue against the success of the self-proclaimed managerial sensation.

The House of Truth now holds both the ROH World and Television Championships through Jay Lethal, who himself will represent BOTH titles in the CHAMPIONS VS. ALL STARS battle! Meanwhile, Dijak and J. Diesel have been working together as a tag team, with gold no doubt their ultimate goal. But at GLORY BY HONOR, Dijak flies solo. First, he takes on AJ Styles, in a calculated effort to send the big guns of the HOT to scout and intimidate Styles, the current number one contender to Lethal's World Championship. Then, the very next night in Dayton, he faces Michael Elgin!

#BigMike returned from an incredible tour of Japan completely reinvigorated. Prior to his stint in NJPW, Elgin seemed unfocused and frustrated. He wanted back into the World Championship picture, but with the talent level in ROH at an all time high, that isn't a position you can just stumble into. Elgin headed across the globe for the G1 Climax, attaining one of his ultimate goals of competing for NJPW. And while he was there, he turned heads in every single match up. Now the entire professional wrestling world is fully on notice: "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin is better than ever before!

Usually, Elgin can count on his massive size and baffling strength intimidating his opponents before they even step between the ropes. However, he probably shouldn't be so certain he has this typical advantage over Donovan Dijak. Although he is one of the largest athletes in ROH, he has quickly established himself as among the most agile. More importantly, we've yet to see this cocky young star intimidated by anyone - including former champions.

This will be a can't-miss war between two incredible athletes who both have so much to prove. Dijak needs to step up in the face of the weekend's challenges in the biggest matches he's ever had. Meanwhile, Elgin can't afford to miss a step when it comes to pushing himself back into eventual title contention! To get your tickets to GLORY BY HONOR weekend featuring CHAMPIONS VS.

SOTF 15 QUALIFYING MATCH #2
Fri, November 13th - Turner Hall Ballroom - Milwaukee, Wi



SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST is back for 2015! The Ring of Honor tradition returns November 13th in Milwaukee, WI and November 14th in Hopkins, MI. SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST is one of the most grueling tournaments in all of professional wrestling, where the winner has to endure two nights of competition against the top ROH stars. The prize? A future ROH World Championship opportunity!

Past winners of this prestigious tournament include Delirious, Roderick Strong, "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin, Adam Cole, and current ROH World and Television Champion Jay Lethal.  This year, the SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST field will be comprised of 18 of the biggest stars in Ring of Honor. On November 13th in Milwaukee, the first round of matches will consist of:

- Two 4-Corner Survival Matches
- Two Triple Threat Matches
- Two Singles Matches

One winner from each match in Milwaukee will advance to the SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST 6-Man Elimination Match the following night on November 14th in Hopkins!  Additionally, the final match in the Best of Five challenge series between Matt Sydal and ACH will also serve as a qualifying match for SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.
 
And now, the entrants have been announced for the first ever 4 Corner Survival qualifier!
 
4 CORNER SURVIVAL
MARK BRISCOE VS. CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VS. HANSON VS. KENNY KING 
 
This one-fall-to-a-finish four corner contest is comprised of ROH stars who are often thought of as tag team specialists, but on November 13th, they go it alone against 3 other athletes who each want in on this prestigious tournament!
 
MARK BRISCOE is a crazy man; there's no disputing that. Over the years, his penchant for putting his body on the line to get a win has only gotten stronger!  But unlike his brother, Mark Briscoe has never held singles gold in ROH. A win at SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST could be a critical step on the path to cementing his own Ring of Honor legacy!
 
A ROH legend in his own right, CHRISTOPHER DANIELS has most recently found success alongside his Addiction partner, Frankie Kazarian. They just recently lost the ROH World Tag Team Championships and are on the hunt to regain them. Yet, ROH fans know Christopher Daniels has an extensive resume as a singles competitor, including a reign as ROH World Television Champion.  Can a victory in this qualifier put him on the road to the Triple Crown?
 
HANSON was the breakout star or last year's SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST tournament. In the opening round, he defeated none other than the current ROH World and Television Champion, Jay Lethal! Then he very nearly went all the way in the final round, making it as far as the last two competitors alongside eventual winner, Adam Cole.  After that incredible run, Hanson is surely one of the favorites in this year's field, but that also puts a target on his (massive) back!   
 
KENNY KING is back in Ring of Honor! King made his absolutely shocking return to ROH last month at ALL STAR EXTRVAGANZA VII and he has been on fire ever since!  The reunion of ANX has shaken up the tag team scene, with Rhett Titus and Kenny King determined to make an impact. But King won't have Titus in his corner on November 13th! This could be King's breakout opportunity to prove he's a threat to ALL champions and athletes in ROH - and that he's here to stay!
 
ROHWrestling.com will have all the latest updates on other athletes and matches slated for the huge two-night event.

Anyone else surprised that Kenny King was able to just sort of come back without any problems whatsoever?

You know, once Aries returned, I kind of figured all bets are off.

The only two I'd still be surprised for a return are Low-Ki and Kenny Omega.

[Starshine]

The only guy who'd honestly surprise me with a return would be Rob Feinstein.

[Deleted]

Yeah I guess Aries coming back did set a precedent. It just hit me when watching the last show where Kenny King got on The Addiction's case because they hadn't even lost the tag titles in the first place, when the reason for that is he walked away from ROH. Found it odd to bring up that little detail. I always liked ANX so I'm glad it's worked out this way, just thought there'd be more blowback.

I have to think that's them planting the seeds for a heel turn. Not unlike The Addiction's return to the company, they'll keep them face for a few months to take advantage of the "Welcome back" tidings, which is smart of Delirious to not go directly against. I'm sure the second they turn and keep mentioning they never lost the belts, a face team will say they walked away and then ~boom~ instant feud.
