NJPW Star Jay White Booked For ROH Supercard Of Honor

There has been speculation regarding the partnership with ROH and NJPW, however it appears as if the two companies will continue to work with each other. ROH announced that Bullet Club leader Jay White will be appearing at its Supercard of Honor event on April 4.

“#BULLETCLUB MEMBER & NJPW STAR JAY WHITE SIGNED FOR ROH SUPERCARD OF HONOR APRIL 4 IN LAKELAND, FLORIDA! @jaywhitenz is #GoingToLakeland”

This is the first time that White will be wrestling on an ROH show since the G1 Supercard last year, where he lost the IWGP Heavyweight Championship to Kazuchika Okada. White previously worked with ROH from 2016-2017 as a Young Lion in an excursion run.

Taking place in Lakeland Florida, the event will be during the evening. It should be noted that the Bullet Club will host the Bullet Club Beach Party on the same day at 10 a.m. ET.

Marty Scurll Re-Signs With Ring Of Honor

Marty Scurll has signed a new deal with Ring of Honor, confirms PWInsider. Scurll’s contract expired at the end of November.

It’s unclear the length of the contract, but as noted, ROH offered Scurll “WWE main roster money” and only have to work 40 dates per year for the company.

It was confirmed that he will be taking on lead booking and creative duties too.

On Saturday, Marty Scurll, Brody King, and Flip Gordon lost the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Championship to Bandido, Flamita, and Rey Horus at ROH Saturday Night at Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia.

Backstage News On “WWE Main Roster Money” Offer ROH Made To Marty Scurll

It was recently announced that Ring of Honor will be bringing back the Supercard of Honor show for WrestleMania weekend.

An interesting name that appeared in the press release was Marty Scurll. “The Villian’s” contract recently expired, but he is a free agent who will be working with ROH and the NWA for the near future.

In the latest edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that ROH is offering Scurll “WWE main roster money” in a deal that would have him working only 40 dates per-year, among other perks. There is no word on if he has signed it, but it is reportedly a better deal than the one they offered Matt Taven.

Taven, a former ROH World Champion, signed a new deal in September before his old one expired in October. The contract starts out at double the highest-paid wrestler in NXT, and can end up being about triple by the end of it.

Backstage News On Marty Scurll’s Status With ROH And NWA

Despite appearing for both ROH and NWA last week, Marty Scurll is currently a free agent, according to the latest edition of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Scurll is one of several ROH stars whose contracts were expiring, along with Jeff Cobb, Bandido, Brody King, Tracy Williams and Shane Taylor. While it’s not clear what the status is for any of those talents, it appears as if Scurll will be working for both ROH and NWA for the near future.

Scurll, whose ROH contract expired in November, owns the rights to Villain Enterprises, and the group was victorious in the main event of the ROH Final Battle Fallout tapings last week. It also appears that Scurll will be facing Nick Aldis in the main event of the next NWA pay-per-view in January.

It was noted in the Observer that Scurll is also booked for another date that’s not for either NWA or ROH, however that spot is being kept quiet.

A lot of people had expected Scurll to sign with AEW, as he is close with the top stars of the promotion and had been subtly referenced on a recent episode of Being The Elite. AEW EVP Cody Rhodes was recently asked about Scurll possibly joining the company in an interview with talkSport.

“Marty is going to do what Marty is going to do,” Cody said. “We all love Marty. Anything he does in the next few weeks or months, I wouldn’t look at as permanent for him. He’s very much testing the waters here and there and that’s pretty much all I can say on Marty.”

Stay tuned for updates on Scurll’s status.

ROH Allegedly Fires Women’s Champ Kelly Klein

Current ROH Women’s title holder Kelly Klein has apparently been released from the company.

Klein’s husband BJ Whitmer confirmed the news via social media on Thursday.

“Now that the cat is out of the bag. Yes, my wife [Kelly Klein] was fired by [Ring of Honor] COO Joe Koff, via email Tuesday evening. Not a phone call, an EMAIL. Kelly is still very much suffering from Post Concussion Syndrome and was fired while still injured.”

The 33-year-old wrestler recently spoke out in support of former ROH employee Joey Mercury who has been pointing out issues with the company as of late via social media.  In particular, he published an email from GM Greg Gilleland – with Klein’s permission – that revealed she wasn’t even making $24,000 a year with the promotion and implied that all female talent in the company had to be paid the same amount.

A rep for Ring of Honor told WrestleZone: “We normally don’t discuss these matters but since it seems to have been made public — We did not fire Kelly but we did notify her that we would not be re-signing her when her current agreement expires. She is still under contract through the end of the year.”

The meet and greet events will still be happening on November 9 in Dallas and November 10 in San Antonio. Matt Taven, Jay Lethal, Dalton Castle, and ROH World TV Champion Shane Taylor have already been announced for those events. ROH will be announcing locations and more talent in the coming days.
