Two Matches Added To ROH Final Battle
Including a Television title match
Two matches have been added to next Saturday's ROH Final Battle pay-per-view, including a championship match, and a tag team bout.
ROH Television champion Samoa Joe will defend his title against new AEW signing Juice Robinson. Robinson appeared in a taped promo on Friday's Rampage, saying he wants to be the new "King of TV"
In the other match, Swerve in Our Glory will face former ROH Television champion Shane Taylor and his debuting associate, JD Griffey. Taylor made an appearance on Friday's episode of AEW Rampage, where he interrupted Lee's promo time.
Taylor called Lee (his former tag team partner) out for walking away from him years ago, and said he wanted to settle their unfinished business in a tag team match, with Lee having the partner of his choosing. Taylor named Griffey as partner, while Swerve Strickland walked up behind Lee and smiled, to which Lee expressed reluctance.
The current card for ROH Final Battle, taking place Saturday, December 10 at the College Park Center in suburban Dallas, includes the following:
* ROH World: Chris Jericho (c) vs. Claudio Castagnoli (if Castagnoli loses, he has to join the Jericho Appreciation Society)
* ROH Pure: Daniel Garcia (c) vs. Wheeler Yuta
* ROH Women's: Mercedes Martinez (c) vs. Athena
* ROH Television: Samoa Joe (c) vs. Juice Robinson
* Swerve in Our Glory vs. Shane Taylor and JD Griffey
