Nigel McGuinness will face El Generico for the Ring of Honor World Title on 8/15 in Cleveland! This is a match I’ve been dying to see so lets hope it lives up to expectations.

Signed for 8/16 in Chicago at The Frontier Fieldhouse, ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness & Claudio Castagnoli will battle Bryan Danielson & Austin Aries. There are a whole host of complex issues between these four men and it only will get crazier at this show.

Erick Stevens has said that he will be a fighting FIP Champion. As such, he will be defending his FIP World Title on 8/15 in Cleveland against Claudio Castagnoli and should he retain, against Chris Hero in Chicago on 8/16.
