ROH pulls The Collective talent from TV tapings as COVID-19 precaution

Posted on by Dave Meltzer

Thanks to help from John Pollock of Post Wrestling

ROH officials made a decision today that a number of talents brought in for the television tapings this week would not be used due to being in contact with people who tested positive for COVID-19 at The Collective series of wrestling events over the weekend in Indianapolis.

Three wrestlers have publicly come forward from that weekend, AC Mack, Dan the Dad, and Cabana Man Dan, stating that they had tested positive from the series of events that included a lot of top non-WWE talent that included stars from AEW, ROH, and Impact Wrestling. We are told that the ROH tapings had to be rewritten due to a number of people being sent home after the company learned yesterday they were exposed to people who had tested positive due to the company’s internal protocol being used in conjunction with working with the Maryland State Athletic Commission.

ROH has had some of the strictest COVID protocols of any wrestling company in the world since the outbreak in March, including a long period of not running any events nor taping new television shows. They returned to action with the Pure title tournament.

This was confirmed with multiple sources although officially Joe Koff would not comment on the specific matter.

“While Ring of Honor does not publicly discuss specific internal decisions, ROH is taking every measure to preserve the integrity of its rigorous health and safety protocol for the upcoming tapings,” Koff said in an email to the Observer.

Rush, Bandido unable to wrestle at tonight’s ROH TV tapings

Posted on by Bryan Rose

ROH announced a number of changes prior to their television tapings tonight in Las Vegas.

Dragon Lee will now instead team with ROH Tag Team Champions The Briscoes to challenge Villain Enterprises for the ROH Six-Man Tag Team titles.

It was also announced that Bandido is suffering from a knee injury and would also be unable to compete tonight. PJ Black has taken his place in the Final Battle number one contender’s tournament and will face Jay Lethal in the first round tonight. Dalton Castle vs. Mark Haskins is the other first round match taking place at tonight’s tapings.

In addition to the above changes, Jake Atlas vs. Tyler Bateman has also been added to the card, which takes place tonight at Sam’s Town in Las Vegas

Title change at post-Best in the World ROH TV tapings

One of the NWA’s titles changed hands at ROH’s post-Best in the World television tapings.

James Storm defeated Colt Cabana to become the new NWA National Champion at Saturday’s TV tapings in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Cabana was in street clothes and tapped out to a half crab.

Cabana was doing an interview about his injury when he was interrupted by Storm. After their last match against each other in May ended in a 15-minute time-limit draw, Storm said he wanted his five more minutes now. Cabana initially refused because of his injury but accepted after Storm attacked him.

Storm tweeted after his title win: “Well I know @nwa isn’t a fan of mine and won’t post this as they do for ALL the others so……. AND NEW…… James Mother F ing Storm”

Cabana was originally scheduled to team with NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis against The Briscoes at Friday’s Best in the World pay-per-view, but he was pulled from the match due to an injury that he suffered on June 5 that resulted in a hematoma on his quadriceps muscle and made it so he couldn’t walk for nearly two weeks.

Eli Drake replaced Cabana as Aldis’ partner, and it was revealed that Drake has signed with the NWA. Aldis & Drake vs. The Briscoes ended in a double countout.
