ROH delivers two title fights



[ad_1]

Ring of Honor allows its champions to stay active. New contenders for Dragon Lee’s ROH TV Championship and Jonathan Gresham’s ROH Pure Championship have been announced.

The first on the register is pure gold. Will Ferrara, coach of Gresham and the ROH Dojo, wanted to reward their students with a chance to win a title shot. They proposed to the ROH board that Joe Keys, Dante Caballero, Ken Dixon and Eric Martin participate in a gauntlet match with the winner ranked No.3 and receiving a pure championship contest against Gresham.

This fight took place on ROH week by week (from 4:25 p.m.). Dixon beat Martin via PowerSlam in the first round. Caballero knocked out Dixon on a variant of the crucifix pin in the second round. Dixon displayed poor sportsmanship with an attack on Caballero after his loss. Caballero rallied despite the pain, but Keys emerged victorious with a raised crab on one leg to win the glove. Keys will have his chance against Gresham in next weekend’s TV episode of ROH fight.

Dragon Lee just won a successful TV title defense against Rey Horus, and Brian Johnson has just signed a new contract with ROH. Now the two will face off on a date to be announced. Johnson took the opportunity by winning a fan survey as part of ROH The Experience.

ROH week by week has also updated the singles ranking.

ROH TV World Championship
5. Bandit
4. KJV
3. Kenny King
2. Dak Draper
1. Tony Deppen
Champion: Dragon Lee

Rey Horus’ loss to Dragon Lee gave him the boot. Bandido entered at # 5. Everyone jumped up one place as a result.

ROH Pure Championship
5. Fred Yehi
4. Rhett Titus
3. Joe Keys
2. Josh Woods
1. Tracy Williams
Championship: Jonathan Gresham

Flip Gordon has been suspended from the Pure Division for breaking the rules in his win over Rhett Titus. Josh Woods climbed one place and Joe Keys entered third.

ROH World Championship
5. Jay Briscoe
4. Mark Haskins
3. Matt Taven
2. Brody King
1. Shane Taylor
Field: Rush

This is the start of the world title ranking. All signs point to Shane Taylor being next in line for Rush, most likely at a ROH PPV. Mark Haskins and Flip Gordon both have previous title blows that have yet to be conceded.

Would you bet money on a thwarted victory by Joe Keys or Brian Johnson? Do you agree with the current ranking?
