Jonathan Gresham vs. Silas Young set for ROH 17th Anniversary PPV
Eight matches have now been made official for Ring of Honor’s 17th Anniversary pay-per-view.
ROH announced on Wednesday that Jonathan Gresham will face Silas Young at the PPV. This will be the second singles match they’ve had in ROH, with Young having won their first matchup in 2017.
Jeff Cobb retained his Television title against Young in a match that aired on this week’s episode of ROH television. Young challenging for the title was set up by him winning a number one contender’s mini-tournament.
Gresham vs. Matt Taven on this week’s ROH TV episode ended in a disqualification when The Kingdom attacked Gresham. Jay Lethal tried to make the save but was beaten down. LifeBlood (Juice Robinson, Tenille Dashwood, Bandido, David Finlay, and Mark Haskins) then made the save for Gresham and Lethal. The angle ended with Lethal destroying the fake World title belt that Taven has been carrying around.
Lethal will defend his ROH World Championship against Taven in the main event of the Anniversary PPV. The event is taking place at Sam’s Town Live in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday, March 15. There will also be a set of television tapings at the venue the next night.
Here’s the updated card for the PPV:
- ROH World Champion Jay Lethal defending against Matt Taven
