World title contract signing announced for Ring of Honor TV

Chris Jericho

The contract for the Ring of Honor World title match at Final Battle between champion Chris Jericho and top challenger Matt Cardona will be signed as part of Thursday’s ROH on HonorClub.

Jericho made the announcement during Wednesday’s Dynamite, adding that Cardona will take on Bryan Keith of The Learning Tree on Friday’s AEW Rampage.

Cardona surprised Jericho by revealing himself last Thursday as his opponent for the Friday, December 20th streaming special from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. It will be Cardona’s first-ever ROH match and his first singles clash with Jericho since a March 2016 WWE Raw. Jericho will be looking for his second title defense.
