As announced tonight, ROH is holding a Television Championship Eliminator Tournament to determine the next challenger for Samoa Joe’s TV title.
The four-person tournament began on Thursday’s episode of ROH television. Dalton Castle and Shane Taylor booked their spots in the finals with respective wins over Tony Nese and Shawn Dean on tonight’s episode. Castle vs. Taylor in the tournament finals will take place on ROH TV next week.
The winner of Castle vs. Taylor advances to challenge Joe for the ROH TV title at Death Before Dishonor.
Death Before Dishonor is being held at CURE Insurance Arena in Trenton, New Jersey on Friday, July 21. It’s ROH’s first pay-per-view since March’s Supercard of Honor.
Joe has held the ROH TV Championship since April 2022. His most recent defense of the title was against Matt Sydal on ROH TV last month.
On the most recent episode of AEW Collision, Joe lost to CM Punk in the semifinals of the men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.
Castle and Taylor are both former TV champions in ROH. Their reigns happened while ROH was owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group.
Next Thursday’s ROH TV is airing the night before Death Before Dishonor. Also on the episode, ROH will address who is going to be Claudio Castagnoli’s Death Before Dishonor challenger. Castagnoli was supposed to face Mark Briscoe at the PPV, but Briscoe had to be pulled from the match due to injury.
