Jonathan Gresham to defend ROH title at GCW Blood on the Hills

Jonathan Gresham’s first Ring of Honor World Championship defense will take place in Game Changer Wrestling.

GCW has announced that Gresham vs. AJ Gray at their Blood on the Hills event will now be for Gresham’s ROH World Championship. Gresham vs. Gray is also now a Pure Rules match.

Blood on the Hills is taking place at the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Los Angeles this Friday and will be available live via Fite TV.

Gresham became ROH World Champion by defeating Jay Lethal in the main event of Final Battle last Saturday. The title was declared vacant going into that match after Bandido had to be pulled from Final Battle due to testing positive for COVID-19. AEW allowed Lethal to return to ROH and replace Bandido as Gresham’s opponent at the pay-per-view.

Final Battle was the last ROH live event before the promotion goes on hiatus.

The Briscoes will defend their GCW Tag Team titles against Brody King & PCO at Blood on the Hills. The Briscoes currently hold both the GCW and ROH Tag Team titles.

Atticus Cogar vs. Jordan Oliver in a no ropes barbed wire match, Matt Cardona & Chelsea Green vs. Effy & Allie Katch, and Blake Christian vs. Alex Zayne are among the other matches that will be taking place at Blood on the Hills.
