ROH announces Final Battle 2020 for December 18

Ring of Honor’s first pay-per-view of the pandemic era is set for next month.

On this week’s episode of ROH Week By Week, it was announced that Final Battle 2020 will take place on Friday, December 18. It was noted that more information regarding the PPV will be revealed on ROH Week By Week and ROH’s website in the coming weeks.

Dave Meltzer reported on ROH’s plans for Final Battle in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter: “It will be sometime in December, be from their usual arena in Baltimore and with no audience. It will air live, the company’s first live broadcast since the pandemic and be on PPV as well as Honor Club.”

After being on hiatus since March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ROH returned to television production in August with closed set tapings.

Final Battle is traditionally ROH’s biggest event of the year. It’s taken place annually since 2002. In the main event of last year’s Final Battle, PCO defeated Rush to win the ROH World Championship. Rush regained the title this February.
