October 22nd: The month of November for ROH World Champion Austin Aries might just be the toughest of his second championship reign. In Indianapolis on October 10th, he basically walked out on Davey Richards after ‘negotiating’ his way into the match with Richards against The Briscoe Brothers. Aries, who knew going in that Richards held a shot at the ROH title, still elected to ‘throw him to the wolves’, and that move may prove fatal. In suburban Detroit on November 13th, Davey Richards has exercised his right for an ROH World Title Match. It will be Richards versus Aries in the “D”! Can Richards become a double champion in Ring of Honor? Or will Aries once more find a way to prove that he’s the “greatest man who ever lived”? Get your tickets now and find out!
October 22nd: ROH officials including ROH on HDNet Executive Producer Jim Cornette are currently finalizing Aries' opponent for suburban Toronto on November 14th. The mandate has already come down: Should Aries retain against Richards in Detroit, he WILL defend the title in Toronto. Davey Richards is not scheduled for the Toronto event, and if he should walk away with the championship on 11/13, his first defense as champion will happen in December.
October 22nd: By all accounts, Delirious is having the tour of his life over in Pro Wrestling NOAH. After defeating KENTA earlier in the tour, Delirious was once more victorious, this time over Ricky Marvin. With the considerable momentum he is picking up in Japan, ROH officials are excited to see what Delirious is able to bring to the table once back in ROH. He will be on hand for the ROH on HDNet TV Tapings as well as in action when ROH returns to Edison, NJ on 11/7!
October 22nd: Those who tuned in to Ring of Honor on HDNet this past Monday saw Jerry Lynn laid out by a nasty spike piledriver from Kenny King and Rhett Titus.

Call your local cable provider and demand HDNet!
October 22nd: ROH officials are happy to announce that Asylum and Burns – The Flatliners – will make their debut on November 14th in suburban Toronto.

October 22nd: Speaking of tag teams, The Super Smash Brothers have made a great impression on the ROH Faithful as well as officials. They look to continue that trend on November 14th in Mississauga, ON as they have signed to face “The Pretty Boy Pitbull” Kenny King and “Addicted to Love” Rhett Titus! Can the SSB pick up some steam with a big win over Aries’ stablemates?

Black got the best of King in a back-and-forth contest en route to winning Survival of the Fittest, but his desire for the rematch is clear – revenge. Titus and King have stood between Black and Aries, not to mention King took Jerry Lynn out of ROH competition. “Any pain I feel when I get my hands on them,” said Black, “Is well worth the reward.”

October 20th: Also signed for Edison on November 7th is an interesting match-up as Claudio Castagnoli has signed to face Jay Briscoe in one-on-one competition.

October 20th: Prince Nana did however issue a challenge to the Necro Butcher for Edison. “I wish for that barefooter to come pay for taking out my Crown Jewel in Chicago,” said Nana. “I have my many forces of the Embassy ready to fight that beast in Edison if he’s not afraid to get what’s coming to him.” More on this as it develops.
October 20th: A pair of outstanding matches has been signed for suburban Detroit on November 13th. The first is a perfect example of why ROH has the hottest tag team division in wrestling. Matt and Nick Jackson – The Young Bucks – will take on former ROH World Tag Team Champions Kevin Steen and El Generico! Steen has been nursing a battered knee as of late, but assured ROH officials it won’t be an issue. “My knee won’t stand in the way.
