Claudio Castagnoli vs. PAC set for ROH Death Before Dishonor


Claudio Castagnoli has a new opponent for Friday’s ROH Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view.
Following their confrontation during Wednesday’s Blood and Guts match that led to PAC exiting the match, Castagnoli cut a promo backstage asking where he was. He said he didn’t want to wait another day, he wanted PAC and challenged him to a match on Friday, telling him to step up.
"BASTARD. Step up."
