ROH has revealed Violence Unlimited’s opponents for Death Before Dishonor.

On Tuesday’s edition of ROH Week By Week, it was announced that Violence Unlimited (Homicide, Chris Dickinson & Tony Deppen) will face John Walters, LSG & Lee Moriarty in a six-man tag match at Death Before Dishonor.

ROH has set a date for Violence Unlimited’s first Tag Team title defense.

Homicide & Chris Dickinson will defend their ROH Tag Team titles against La Faccion Ingobernable’s Dragon Lee & Kenny King on the ROH TV episode that premieres the weekend of Saturday, September 11. Homicide & Dickinson won the titles by defeating The Foundation’s Rhett Titus & Jonathan Gresham (filling in for the injured Tracy Williams) in a Fight Without Honor at July’s Best in the World pay-per-view.

Dragon Lee & King formerly held the ROH Tag Team titles together. They were champions going into ROH’s 19th Anniversary PPV this March, but Dragon Lee had to miss the show due to injury. La Bestia del Ring replaced Dragon Lee at the PPV, and he and King lost the titles to Titus & Williams.

For ROH’s Death Before Dishonor PPV, Homicide, Dickinson & Tony Deppen have issued a challenge for three Pure wrestlers to face them in a six-man tag match. The challenge has been accepted by a team consisting of one Pure wrestler from the past, one from the present, and one who is considered part of the future. The identities of Violence Unlimited’s opponents will be revealed on ROH Week By Week next Tuesday.

Death Before Dishonor is taking place on Sunday, September 12.

Violence Unlimited to make ROH in-ring debut

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Ring of Honor’s newest faction is set to make its in-ring debut.

ROH has announced that Violence Unlimited’s Brody King, Homicide & Chris Dickinson will face La Faccion Ingobernable’s Rush, Kenny King & Bestia del Ring in a six-man tag match on the ROH TV episode that premieres the weekend of Saturday, April 24. Violence Unlimited debuted at last month’s ROH 19th Anniversary pay-per-view. Tony Deppen is also a member of the group.

After Rush retained his ROH World Championship against Jay Lethal in the main event of the 19th Anniversary PPV, Brody King made his way out as La Faccion Ingobernable were beating down Lethal and the rest of The Foundation (Jonathan Gresham, Tracy Williams, and Rhett Titus). King said Rush has had the numbers game against him, but now King has numbers of his own. King was joined by Deppen, then the returning Homicide and debuting Dickinson appeared.

Brody King, Deppen, Homicide, and Dickinson stood tall after beating down La Faccion Ingobernable. King extended his hand to help Lethal up, but he then dropped Lethal with a lariat. The show ended with Homicide giving Lethal a Cop Killa.

Brody King had challenged for Rush’s ROH World Championship in the main event of December’s Final Battle PPV. Rush defeated King after getting help from Dragon Lee and Bestia del Ring.

The ROH TV episode that premieres the weekend of April 24 will also feature Dak Draper vs. Eli Isom. Plus, The Righteous’ Bateman, Vita Von Starr, and Dutch will speak.
