Claudio Castagnoli (fka Cesaro in WWE) vs. Mark Briscoe for the ROH World Championship at the Death Before Dishonor 2023 PPV on July 21st was canceled due to Briscoe suffering a knee injury, that will likely require surgery.
The new ROH World Title match at this Friday’s PPV will now be Claudio Castagnoli vs. “The Bastard” PAC (fka Neville in WWE).
In the Blood & Guts match (AEW’s version of War Games) on Dynamite, PAC & Claudio were on the same team and Claudio accidentally hit PAC with an uppercut.
PAC argued with Claudio after this, flipped him off and left the match.
Konosuke Takeshita left the match as well, which eventually resulted in The Blackpool Combat Club losing to The Golden Elite.
After Dynamite went off the air, an angry Castagnoli challenged PAC to a match at this Friday’s pay-per-view, and The Bastard accepted.

"BASTARD. Step up."
