Ring of Honor has signed Jonathan Gresham to a new deal, and has also added Maria Manic to the women of honor division, according to PWInsider.
Gresham, 31, appeared occasionally for the promotion before signing his first deal with ROH in 2017. He’s now being relocated to Baltimore where he’ll take more of an active role in the ROH Dojo.
Debuting in 2015, Manic has made a name on the indie circuit, facing both women and men.

Impact Wrestling has granted Scarlett Bordeaux’s request to be released from her contract.
The company tweeted saying: “Impact Wrestling confirms that it has released Scarlett Bordeaux from her commitments to Impact. We wish her every success in her future endeavors.”

After a brief run with Impact from 2014-2015, Bordeaux returned to Impact in July of 2018, sporting a “Smokeshow” gimmick that gained a lot of attention. She quickly became one of the company’s more popular acts after being featured regularly on their TV show. One of Impact’s most viral videos was her giving Scott Steiner a lap dance. Over time, however, she started to wrestle more frequently on the program, including against men. She beat Glenn Gilbertti (Disco Inferno) in her debut match.
Bordeaux recently requested her release from the company. Although the contract was due later this summer, Bordeaux’s deal was set to reportedly pay her per appearance and wasn’t a guaranteed contract. She was among a few members of the Impact roster to request their release, including boyfriend Killer Kross.
As we previously reported, Scarlett’s boyfriend Killer Kross has also been wanting out of his contract over financial related reasons.
So far, the company has not been willing to grant his request.
During a recent interview, Kross talked about how Scarlett’s situation with Impact was worse than his and that she was still living at home because of how little she was making with the company.
