Ring of Honor has announced that the first hour of its Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view will feature an Honor Rumble.
ROH staff member Kevin Eck announced the news in the latest edition of the Eck’s Files on the company’s official website:
For the first time in more than two years, ROH will present an Honor Rumble, with the winner receiving a future ROH World Title shot.
The battle royal-style match, which begins with two competitors and has the other participants entering the ring at timed intervals, will take place during Hour One of the Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view on Sept. 12 in Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena.
Death Before Dishonor Hour One airs for free on multiple platforms, including HonorClub and ROH’s YouTube channel and Facebook page, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern.
Danhausen will be among the competitors in the Honor Rumble, and I’m hearing there may be a surprise entrant or two.
The updated card is as follows:
- Lee Moriarty, LSG and John Walters vs. Violence Unlimited
- The Briscoes (Mark & Jay Briscoe) vs. The OGK (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett)
- Dalton Castle vs. Eli Isom
