Below is the announcement from ROH:

Tag team wrestling has never been hotter in Ring of Honor, boasting one of the deepest rosters of teams in company history. At the top of the mountain sit the Young Bucks. The two-time ROH World Tag Team Champions have blazed a trail never before seen in wrestling, breaking rules and records along the way. Matt and Nick Jackson have used their athleticism and their vast array of influences to capture the attention of the wrestling world.

Perhaps, to their surprise, their reach crossed previously unbreached borders. Indeed, the Bucks of Youth had made their impression and their message spread far across the Hardy Compound, straight to the ears of #Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero!

One of the most decorated teams of all-time, Jeff and Matt Hardy have held world tag team championships in every organization in which they have been a part. The brothers used death-defying high flying and athleticism to become stars around the globe. Some even say their successes have laid the ground work for the Bucks to be able to have the success they have.

Appearing via satellite at Final Battle, Matt Hardy declared that the Hardys have been “mandated to prove they are the greatest tag team in all of time and all of space”, issuing an official challenge to “the Bucks of Youth”. In their mission to render the Bucks obsolete, the Hardys have promised to DELETE the Young Bucks!

After a recent appearance by Vanguard-1 on Ring of Honor television, the ROH World Tag Team Champions the Young Bucks have officially signed to face the Hardys at the BIGGEST Supercard of Honor ever! This dream tag team match will happen LIVE in Lakeland and will not be broadcast. The only way to see this one is to be there LIVE!

The new ROH Executive Board has been working around the clock to sign a match that few thought could happen. As ROH continues to break barriers and sign matches only dreamed of in 2017, there is only one question heading into the BIGGEST night in ROH history: Too Sweet or Delete?

Kurt Angle Wants Steve Austin To Induct Him Into WWE Hall of Fame

Kurt Angle will be enshrined into the WWE Hall of Fame in March, and he’s already decided who he’d like to induct him.

Speaking with Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso, the Olympic gold medalist said “Stone Cold” Steve Austin should get the honors.

That’s a no-brainer. I had just started with WWE and had a program with Austin right after I beat Rock for the world title. I had a quick skit with Stephanie and Triple H, and then it was right on to Austin. We had some memorable feuds and some very funny segments, so he is at the top of my list.

Steve was one of the most giving individuals. He took me in and allowed me to shine even when it was still his time. I don’t ever compare myself to Stone Cold. He is the guy who elevated wrestling to a level that nobody ever went before, but he enabled me to show my talents when he very well could have said no. He was a very giving individual, and he is one of the guys who had the biggest impact on my career.

Triple H — WWE Women’s Tournament Will ‘Probably’ Happen This Summer

The WWE Women’s Tournament will more than likely go down this summer … this according to Triple H — who says he wants to uncover hidden talent like they did with the Cruiserweight Classic.

The WWE exec was interviewed by Fox Sports’ Wrestling Compadres podcast and told them the setback for a tournament featuring women has mainly been due to scheduling.

However, he finally had good news to report about when it will happen. “The women we’re gonna do probably this summer.” Adding “That’s the plan anyways.”

Popular female wrestlers Kimber Lee, Heidi Lovelace and Andrea were recently signed to WWE. Plus, there’s a whole crop of new performers at the Performance Center.

Even with all of that talent, Triple H says he wants to find more. Explaining the plan is “much like cruisers” … “to go scour the globe and maybe find the girls that are out there doing this that no one’s heard of. That no has seen. That are like these diamonds, waiting.”

Kevin Nash to Donate Brain For CTE Research

According to ACCMag, Kevin Nash will donate his brain and spinal cord to the CTE Center at Boston University and the Concussion Legacy Foundation after his death. Nash had the following to say on his decision…

“Chris Nowinski started the program, and I’ve had several concussions throughout my life and had scans done and stuff and knew that somewhere down the line, I’ve already had short-term memory problems. I decided to go ahead. The only way you can diagnose this is after you’re dead.”
