Ring of Honor made the following announcement on their website that they have reached an agreement to buy out Shane Taylor‘s contract.

Ring of Honor Wrestling and Shane Taylor have agreed to terms on a buyout of his contract, effective immediately.

ROH is currently in negotiations with Taylor for him to make his advertised defense of the ROH World Television Title at the Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view on Sept. 27 in Las Vegas against Flip Gordon and Tracy Williams in a Triple Threat Match.

At this time it’s unclear if this is a storyline or if indeed is legit.
