Last night it was revealed that ROH World Champion Bandido would not be able to compete at Saturday’s Final Battle after the luchador tested positive for covid-19.
Bandido was set to take on Jonathan Gresham, but with Saturday’s Final Battle being the final show before ROH goes on a hiatus, it was important to find a replacement that fans would get excited by.
Earlier today ROH announced that former World Champion and long-time staple of the company Jay Lethal would be taking Bandido’s place in the match, despite recently signing a contract with All Elite Wrestling.
With ROH World Champion Bandido unable to appear at the #FinalBattle PPV, ROH officials have signed a new match as part of a double main event that truly encapsulates what ROH has represented for two decades
Lethal recently signed a deal with AEW, after asking ROH for his release when the company announced a hiatus.
Jonathan Gresham has been with ROH for 10 years. Gresham has recently announced that he would be starting a new wrestling promotion called Terminus along with fellow wrestler Baron Black.
