The ROH Final Battle card just got a serious shake-upand injuries are to blame.
In a new update from Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it was confirmed that Rush is officially out of the ROH Final Battle main event due to a knee injury, and it may be serious enough to require surgery. The fallout? A brand-new match has been announced, and the ROH Tag Team Titles are now vacated.
Originally, the highly anticipated headliner for Final Battleset for December 5 in Columbus, OHwas supposed to be Bandido vs. Rush for the ROH World Championship. But with Rush sidelined, the main event has been completely restructured into a high-stakes multi-man brawl.
The new format, a Survival of the Fittest match, adds chaos, unpredictability, and a stacked lineup featuring some of the hottest talent from across ROH, AEW, and lucha libre scenes. But its not just the world title picture thats been hit.
With Rush and Sammy Guevara both previously holding the ROH Tag Team Championships, Rushs injury now forces the duo to vacate the belts.
The injury report doesnt end thereRushs brother, Dralistico, is also on the mend and may require ear surgery, leaving yet another member of La Faccin Ingobernable on the injured list.
As of now, ROH has not announced how theyll crown new tag champs, but with Final Battle right around the corner, expect another announcement soon.
