Mark Briscoe vs. Roderick Strong ROH title match confirmed for Death Before Dishonor

A new number one contender for the ROH World Championship has been crowned.

Roderick Strong defeated Dalton Castle on AEW Collision to become the new number one contender, countering the bangarang into a knee strike to win. Strong will now face Mark Briscoe for the ROH World title on July 26 at the Esports Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

After Strong’s victory, a Mark Briscoe promo aired saying he had this week off, but there isn’t any week off when he has to prepare for both Blood & Guts and the ROH title defense. He wished Orange Cassidy and Kyle O’Reilly best of luck against the Undisputed Kingdom and told Strong he’ll see him at Death Before Dishonor.

In recent weeks, The Undisputed Kingdom have set their sights on the Conglomeration, particularly Kyle O’Reilly. Despite having turned on him several months ago, Strong and The Kingdom have been attempting to recruit O’Reilly. This time around, O’Reilly has flatly rejected them and instead has sided with Briscoe and Cassidy.

Here is the updated lineup for Death Before Dishonor:
