Angelico to face Eddie Kingston for ROH World Championship
Eddie Kingston’s next Ring of Honor World Championship challenger is set following this week’s ROH TV.
After a Proving Ground match on this week’s episode where Kingston defeated Serpentico, Angelico stepped forward to challenge Kingston to a future title match. Kingston accepted the challenge, and the match is set for a date yet to be announced.
Kingston defeated Claudio Castagnoli in a double title match where Kingston’s NJPW Strong Openweight Championship was also on the line at Dynamite Grand Slam on September 20. He has since successfully defended the ROH title against Katsuyori Shibata, Komander, and Minoru Suzuki.
Angelico has a 1-3 record in singles matches in AEW & ROH this year, with his first singles victory coming on Thursday’s ROH TV episode against Marty Casaus. As a part of the Spanish Announce Project tag team, Angelico has a 3-9 record in tag and trios bouts in ROH & AEW this year.
Elsewhere in ROH, a singles match between Tony Nese and Ethan Page is official for the Thursday, October 19 episode after the events of this week’s show. Mark Sterling offered Page a spot in Nese’s Premier Athlete brand, but Page declined and challenged Nese to a match instead.
Sterling’s client Josh Woods will also be in action on next week’s show in a Pure Rules match against Pat Buck.
Next week’s announced card:
Ring of Honor TV, Thursday, October 19 —
- Ethan Page vs. Tony Nese
- Pure Rules match: Josh Woods vs. Pat Buck
