Shelley challenging for ROH title at Summer Supercard, trios match set

Posted on by Joseph Currier

The lineup for ROH’s Summer Supercard event is starting to take shape.

Alex Shelley will be challenging for the ROH World Championship at the show. Matt Taven is the current champion and is defending his title against Jay Lethal at ROH’s Manhattan Mayhem television tapings on July 20.

After taking a hiatus from pro wrestling in July 2018, Shelley returned at June’s post-Best in the World tapings and set up that he’d be challenging the winner of Taven vs. Lethal. Shelley, Lethal & Jonathan Gresham vs. The Kingdom (Taven, Vinny Marseglia & TK O’Ryan) is set for ROH’s Mass Hysteria show on July 21.

A CMLL trios match has also been announced for Summer Supercard. Caristico, Soberano Jr. & Stuka Jr. will team against Barbaro Cavernario, Hechicero & Templario. Cavernario and Templario will be making their ROH debuts in the match.

Summer Supercard is being held at the Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Friday, August 9, which is during SummerSlam weekend in the city. Summer Supercard will feature wrestlers from ROH, NJPW, CMLL, and the NWA. The show will air live on HonorClub.

Since NJPW’s G1 Climax will still be going on, none of the participants in the tournament will be wrestling at Summer Supercard.

NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis will defend his title against a member of Villain Enterprises (Marty Scurll, PCO, Brody King, or Flip Gordon) at Summer Supercard. In storyline, Scurll gets to choose which of the four Villain Enterprises members will get the title shot.

A match between CMLL stars has been added to next month’s WrestleCon Supershow.

WrestleCon has announced that Dragon Lee will face Cavernario at this year’s Mark Hitchcock Memorial Supershow, which is taking place at the Hilton New York Midtown Ballroom in New York City on Thursday, April 4.

In their last singles match against each other, Dragon Lee defeated Cavernario two falls to one at CMLL’s Arena Mexico show on January 4.

Will Ospreay vs. Bandido is also set for the WrestleCon Supershow, and it’s been announced that Jushin Thunder Liger will be taking part in the event.

Dragon Lee and Bandido will both be featured at ROH and NJPW’s G1 Supercard at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, April 6. It was announced last week that IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Taiji Ishimori will defend his title against Dragon Lee and Bandido in a triple threat match at G1 Supercard. The match features representatives from NJPW (Ishimori), CMLL (Dragon Lee), and ROH (Bandido).
