he stars of RING OF HONOR return to the Charlotte area for BEST IN THE WORLD Weekend on Friday June 24, with 9 PM EST bell time for BEST IN THE WORLD LIVE on Pay Per view! The following night, ROH will conduct a National Television Taping starting at 6 PM EST. Both events will take place at the Cabarrus Arena in Concord, NC just outside of Charlotte!

Fans will be able to watch this extravaganza in the United States on all major carriers and worldwide on ROHWrestling.com but nothing beats seeing the hard-hitting, fast-paced action LIVE and in person!

ROH Matchmaker Nigel McGuinness announced at the Toronto stop of the War of the Worlds stop that the MAIN EVENT for BEST IN THE WORLD has been signed for Friday June 24 and it is The BIGGEST REMATCH IN ROH HISTORY, one year in the making!

ROH WORLD CHAMPION JAY LETHAL W/TAELER HENDRIX vs. JAY BRISCOE

For well over two years, ROH World Champion Jay Lethal has held one or both of the ROH World singles championships. Now, as his reign continues to grow in length and increasingly historic proportion, Lethal believes that there are no more challengers left to defeat.

The stars of Ring of Honor disagree.

One such star is Bullet Club member Adam Cole. Cole revealed himself as the latest member of the group that has been causing anxiety and panic in the professional wrestling world at Global Wars, interrupting Colt Cabana’s championship opportunity against Lethal and hijacking the event. Cole’s last one-on-one shot at the ROH World Championship was at Final Battle 2014. Before revealing the main event for Best in the World, McGuinness said that Bullet Club believes that Adam Cole should get the shot but he feels differently.

Cole is one of two former champions that has gone a year or more without receiving a one-on-one ROH title shot. The other? Two-time ROH World Champion Jay Briscoe. Briscoe had last held the championship for nearly a year himself before succumbing to Lethal in one of the most back-and-forth championship matches in history. After losing the ROH World Championship, to Lethal in New York, Briscoe took a small break to clear his head before returning to the tag team scene with his brother Mark. One year later, after scoring a visual eight-second pin on Lethal, Briscoe made his intentions clear in San Antonio:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/92g1e2yVJaE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Briscoe never received his contractual re-match and has petitioned ROH Matchmaker Nigel McGuinness to sign the match. With big wins in bouts with and against Matt Sydal, Michael Elgin, Moose, Adam Page, and Silas Young, Briscoe has proved that he has done what it takes to earn a re-match regardless of a clause in his contract.

In Concord, live and on pay-per-view, fans of The Best Wrestling on the Planet will get the most demanded rematch in ROH history! A win for Jay Briscoe will make him the only three-time ROH World Champion in history! A win by Jay Lethal will round out over one full year as ROH World Champion and etch his status in the upper echelon and rare air of ROH’s all-time greats.

Such an incredible rematch raises huge questions equal in size to its huge stakes! Can Taeler Hendrix help limit Lethal’s outside distractions in preparation for this bout? Has Briscoe’s recent battles in the deepest tag team division in the world taken too much out of him? Will Adam Cole and Bullet Club attempt to alter the fate of one or both of these men between now and Best in the World? And just who will leave Concord as ROH World Champion? Join us live and on pay-per-view to find out!

Last year the Best Fans on The Planet SOLD OUT Terminal 5 in New York City to witness Jay Briscoe & Jay Lethal battle to see who ROH's Undisputed Champion would be. Tickets are available NOW; you will need to get your tickets early before they do in fact SELL OUT!

I like the main event, because the match last year was really great. They should have been building Briscoe better as a singles competitor in the last month or so though. Especially with the lack of new TV in coming weeks.

BEST IN THE WORLD 2016 is coming to North Carolina! On Friday, June 24th, the stars of Ring of Honor head to the Charlotte area. And you can watch it LIVE! Charlotte is an historic, legendary hotbed for professional wrestling, and the fans in the area are some of our most supportive and enthusiastic on the entire planet. But whether or not you can be there live in Concord, you can still catch the whole night of action on pay-per-view!

We already know that BEST IN THE WORLD will be headlined by the biggest rematch in ROH history when World Champion JAY LETHAL defends his title against his greatest rival, JAY BRISCOE. But as massive as this World Championship battle will be, that's just ONE of an entire night full of matches and non-stop Ring of Honor action. Here's the latest update on what's signed for BEST IN THE WORLD '16:

ROH WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
BOBBY FISH VS. DALTON CASTLE w/THE BOYS

At GLOBAL WARS, Bobby Fish FINALLY became ROH World Television Champion! He defeated Tomohiri Ishii live on pay-per-view, but Fish's quest for the title began long before Ishii was even champion. Former champion Roderick Strong was Fish's initial rival for the gold, and these two athletes antagonized each other for months. Every time it looked like Fish had the advantage on Roddy, Strong managed to bend the rules and escape defeat. Then, shockingly, Strong lost the championship to Ishii at HONOR RISING!

Bobby Fish remained in the hunt, competing in a championship triple threat match at the 14th ANNIVERSARY in Las Vegas. In what was no doubt a frustrating result, Fish wasn't involved in the fall of the matchup. Fueled by that frustration, Bobby Fish switched his target directly to Ishii, still maintaining that he could become champion in a one-on-one encounter. But now that Bobby Fish finally holds the gold, HE is the one who needs to watch out for challengers!

And the most-high profile challenger imaginable is lined up for June 24th: DALTON CASTLE! While Castle's meteoric rise in ROH has captivated crowds all over the world, incredibly, this will be his first championship match in Ring of Honor! Castle and Fish know each other well, both inside and out of the ring. But any friendship between these two charismatic stars is likely to be forgotten once the bell rings!

Bobby Fish says he worked too hard for too long and he intends to become the greatest ROH World Television of all time. But there is simply no one in the world like Dalton Castle, and the preening peacock would love to add some gold to his bodysuit in his first championship match! Castle won this opportunity in a Four Corner Survial match at the GLOBAL WARS pay-per-view.

Can he keep that hot streak alive at BEST IN THE WORLD? To get your tickets for June 24th, click HERE!

He challenged Lethal for the TV title, on television. The match is listed on their website in the titles section. It took me three seconds to look that up.

Kinda like how the Briscoes and the Machine Guns were set to face each other for the first time for the third time last week.

Legit, I remember during my time in San Antonio passing on WWE live here and there due to very lazy/muddled creative. I even passed on Vengeance 2011, a fucking PPV, for that reason.

I'd do the exact same to ROH if they were debuting in the Pacific Northwest this summer, for the exact same reason. Keep in mind we don't get SHIT here for live wrestling events other than whatever WWE throws at us 2-3 times per year, sometimes even less than that.

Observer:
A Friday night show, which is tougher to draw than a Sunday, plus no New Japan talent makes this their toughest PPV to draw this year, although they are hoping to be able to get Katsuyori Shibata to debut (this depends on when his visa issue is taken care of) and Kamaitachi is also a possibility.
