Christopher Daniels defeated JD Drake, Tony Nese defeated Cheeseburger, Gravity defeated Anthony Henry, and Shane Taylor defeated Serpentico in quarterfinals bout on Thursday’s show.
The tournament semifinalists are now Daniels, Nese, Gravity, and Taylor. No bracket was revealed for the tournament, so the exact semifinals matches have yet to be announced. The tournament winner will earn a shot at Joe’s ROH World Television Championship.
Joe has held the TV title for over 15 months after defeating Minoru Suzuki to win the belt on the April 13, 2022 AEW Dynamite episode. Joe defeated Dalton Castle in his most recent title defense at last week’s Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view.
