It's going to be really interesting to see how they set up the card for this show, because right now there are only four heels (Lethal, Dijak, Cole, & Young) listed.

Didn't Moose turn heel at the last tapings?

Don't think so.

Honor Rumble!

Kidding.

Probably more just being typical Moose. I honestly question whether he's heel or babyface half the time. I sometimes wonder if he has any clue either.

Spoiler: show

I'm 99% sure he's a babyface at the moment, but the fact that they've turned him so much doesn't help.

Hopefully they put together a great card for this. I'll be there.

I know they weren't announced for this show anyway, but if anyone's wondering, Roppongi Vice won't be on this show, as they're booked for DreamWave Wrestling that same day:

First Match Announced:

ROH heads south for the winter with our Ft. Lauderdale return! The ROAD TO FINAL BATTLE is coming through the Sunshine State on December 5thfor a huge live event.

JAY LETHAL & DONOVAN DIJAK W/ TRUTH MARTINI VS. THE YOUNG BUCKS (NICK & MATT JACKSON)

The animosity between The House of Truth and Bullet Club intensifies just weeks before FINAL BATTLE! At our year end pay-per-view, ROH World Champion Jay Lethal defends his title against AJ Styles in a hotly anticipated battle. On Night One of SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, Lethal, Dijak, and Joey Daddiego teamed up to face the Bucks and Styles. Stunningly, Styles PINNED the reigning Lethal after a brutal Styles Clash! That night, the Bullet Club stood tall, with AJ Styles sending a clear message to the Champion.

Ever since then, Lethal has been even more incensed than previously. He considers himself the absolute best champion in professional wrestling - period. But with the recent loss of the ROH World Television Championship to Roderick Strong, Lethal (and Truth Martini) are feverishly clinging to the World Championship. With a challenger the caliber of AJ Styles, an athlete many call the best wrestler in the world today, the result of the FINAL BATTLE main event is completely up in the air.

Just 2 weeks before, Lethal faces his now-familiar foes, The Young Bucks, and there's no doubt the House of Truth will do whatever it takes to get their win back from the Bullet Club - and send their own message to AJ Styles. How much has the loss in Milwaukee shaken the current champion? In Dijak, he will have one of the most intimidating forces in ROH at his side. The past months have seen the 2014 Top Prospect Winner step up and seize every opportunity presented to him, and the world has definitely taken notice. While some might be intimidated by the sheer star power and international acclaim of a team like The Young Bucks, Donovan Dijak sees them as just another chance to prove he belongs in ROH among the best in the world.

This incredible tag team contest is just one of many exciting matches ROH officials are working on for our Ft. Lauderdale return! ROHWRESTLING.com is your source for all the latest updates on matches signed for December 5th. To be there live on the ROAD TO FINAL BATTLE, click HERE!

At least they spare us another HOT six-man involving Diesel or whatever he's called now.

- MATT SYDAL VS. JAY BRISCOE

Matt Sydal has just returned from a month long tour with New Japan Pro Wrestling! His first stop back was the final match in the Best of Five challenge series between Sydal and his tag team partner, ACH. In the end, Sydal came up on the losing side of things, costing himself the series and entry into this year's SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST tournament.

As 2015 draws to a close, sources say the always enlightened, "reborn" Sydal is feeling especially contemplative and reflective. What will 2016 bring for him? The goal of the challenge series was personal growth for the two competing athletes - but what does this mean for the bond between the team? There are clearly many questions we have yet to see answered when it comes to the next step for Matt Sydal.

But on December 5th in Ft. Lauderdale, he squares off with a former two-time ROH World Champion: JAY BRISCOE! One half of former eight time World Tag Team Champions alongside his brother Mark, Jay Briscoe has recently been focused on the incredible tag team scene in Ring of Honor. But this ROH legend is a singles threat each and every time he's signed for one-on-one competition! THE ROAD TO FINAL BATTLE presents this major singles match between two of the most charismatic athletes in all of professional wrestling. It might be winter, but the action is heating up down in The Sunshine State on December 5th!

"The always enlightened Matt Sydal". I wonder if it is a hint that he will be involved with Prince Nana.

[Mike Adamle]

Don't really have any interest in Roddy vs. Delirious, but Sydal vs. Briscoe sounds AWESOME!!!

[monster mafia]

the age of enlightened is coming!

[DXvsNWO1994]

Pretty excited for both Jay Briscoe vs. Matt Sydal & Roderick Strong vs. Delirious. I like how they acknowledged the Strong/Delirious feud from 2007.

[Big Red Machine]

Don't really have any interest in Roddy vs. Delirious, but Sydal vs. Briscoe sounds AWESOME!!!

Same here, but Roddy vs. Delirious will at least be a solid and clean victory for Roddy that doesn't come at the expense of anyone who actually matters.

[DXvsNWO1994]

[187_Joeism]

They could have done ACH vs Fish a #1 Contender match for the TV Title i think instead of the Fish acepting Roddy´s open challenge.
