The Setting

ROH World Champion Jay Lethal has been on top of the world for nearly a year now since capturing the World Championship from Jay Briscoe. The House of Truth has grown in power in that time, recruiting 2015 Top Prospect Donovan Dijak and International Stars Taka Michinoku and Tajiri in late 2015. It seems that House of Truth has no opposition in its dominance of Ring of Honor. Some have tried and failed. Lethal just dismissed Roderick Strong’s attempt to take the World Title and similarly so Adam Page was unable to defeat Lethal for the TV Championship. Will anyone be able to push Lethal off of the top of the mountain?

ROH Commissioner Nigel McGuinness has been teasing some very big news for the debut episode of HONOR COMBAT, the new Ring of Honor show broadcasting on DESTINATION network. He has promised that the return of Samoa Joe to ROH is only the beginning, as Joe is set to challenge Jay Lethal. McGuinness has also teased a revelation will shake the very foundation of Ring of Honor wrestling. He recently announced the start of an 8-team tournament to crown new ROH Tag-Team Champions. The belts were vacated after reDRagon and The Young Bucks earned a double disqualification in their last match. Commissioner McGuinness said that due to their deplorable actions and breaking the code of honor, neither team was fit to be champions at this time. You can bet there will be some bad blood if they are to meet again in the tournament.
