ROH Final Battle Will Now Be Four Hours, New Start Time Announced

ring of honor final battle new start time

Ring of Honor has announced Final Battle will start an hour earlier than usual this Friday on pay-per-view and that the show will now be four hours long, an hour longer than its previous PPVs. Typically, ROH PPVs have started at 9 pm ET, but Final Battle will begin at 8 pm ET and run until midnight.

ROH issued the following:

Ring of Honor’s seminal event, Final Battle, emanates from Manhattan Center’s Hammerstein Ballroom this Friday, Dec. 14. Final Battle is ROH’s biggest card of the year and has been the site of some of ROH’s most memorable matches.

All roads lead to the G1 Supercard, co-promoted by ROH and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, at sold-out Madison Square Garden on April 6, 2019, and the results at Final Battle undoubtedly will have an impact on the historic show.

This year’s Final Battle is bigger than ever, as ROH officials have just announced that it will be a four-hour show! Just signed to open Final Battle is a first-time matchup pitting former ROH World Television and World Tag Team champion Kenny King against rising star Eli Isom in what is undoubtedly the biggest match of Isom’s career.

KENNY KING vs. ELI ISOM

Although King and Isom have never wrestled each other, they have been in the ring together twice — as partners. Back in June, the makeshift team of King, Isom and Chuckie T surprised everyone by beating SCU in a gauntlet match to earn a shot at ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions The Kingdom. The biggest surprise was that the rookie Isom pinned Christopher Daniels to win the match. The eclectic trio nearly pulled off another upset against The Kingdom before ultimately falling short.

Not long after that bout, King began to undergo a change of attitude and take shortcuts in his matches. It paid off for him, as he amassed an impressive winning streak, scoring victories over the likes of “Hangman” Adam Page, Marty Scurll, Christopher Daniels and Jushin “Thunder” Liger. The string of wins earned King a shot at ROH World Champion Jay Lethal last month, and he nearly won the title.

Victories in singles matches have been harder to come by for Isom, but he made a good account of himself against larger, more experienced foes such as ROH World Television Champion Jeff Cobb and Shane Taylor.  A win over an established star such as King on the biggest show of the year certainly would send a message that Isom has arrived.

Will Isom shock the wrestling world? Or will the cunning King make an example of the youngster?

Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed former WWE wrestler and current indie standout PCO has signed a deal with Ring of Honor.

PCO’s signing was first teased on Twitter Friday night and PWInsider reported Saturday morning that it was ROH who signed the 50-year-old to a full-time, exclusive contract.

The man formerly known as Pierre Carl Oulette last had a run with a major promotion in 2000 while working for WCW with Jacques Rougeau.

Because of his new contract, PCO will not be wrestling at an upcoming Black Label Pro event.

Oulette tweeted about the ROH deal saying it’s the “biggest contract and opportunity” of his career.

Update On Silas Young’s ROH Future

Two-time ROH TV champion Silas Young is expected to sign a new three-year deal with ROH according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

We reported earlier this week that Young’s contract was set to expire at the end of the year and he seemed open to signing with WWE. He was at the Nov. 26 Raw show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin however The Observer noted that Young was only there because his son is a big WWE fan and wanted to attend. Young is also from Wisconsin and was born just outside of Milwaukee.

Young has been with ROH since 2012 but hinted that it may be time for a change during a recent interview on our WINCLY podcast.

“You can never say never in wrestling,” Young told Wrestling Inc. Managing Editor Nick Hausman about possibly ending up in WWE. “WWE’s had a thing in the past couple of years where they’ve been signing a lot of talent up. My contract’s up at the end of the year. I’m not opposed to talking to either side. When it comes down to it, it’s a business at the end of the day. You’ve gotta go with what’s best for you and your family.”

If Young does indeed sign a three-year deal with ROH, then this could signal the end of his flirtation with WWE. He is turning 40 years old soon and WWE has been trending younger in recent years.

While an opponent has not been determined yet, Young is scheduled to fight at ROH’s Final Battle inside the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on December 14.

Cody Rhodes had an injury scare over the weekend, but a trip to the doctor has revealed he’ll still be good to go for Final Battle and Wrestle Kingdom 13.

Rhodes announced he heard a loud pop in his knee while teasing a t-shirt toss at an ROH event on Friday. Because of this, he was forced to miss an IWGP United States title defense against Trent.

After visiting a physician on Monday, Rhodes shared an update:

GOOD news is my doctor is fairly confident that my mcl/pcl/acl are structurally sound. BAD news is the meniscus is fairly damaged, gonna’ require a scope. No dates will be adjusted at the moment, and I’ll definitely still compete in the final battle main event & at WK.
