We are a few days away from FINAL BATTLE! After more than a decade, FINAL BATTLE is returning to Philadelphia. On December 18th, Ring of Honor will present FINAL BATTLE 2015 on Pay-per-view. Plus, the very next night, we will return for the AFTERMATH and a huge television taping! FINAL BATTLE is a must-see event for all professional wrestling fans! And the next night, all of the fallout will spill into a massive ROH television event. This is a can't-miss combo of ROH events to close out 2015 hotter than ever!

ADAM PAGE w/BJ WHITMER v. MARK BRISCOE

How do you keep one of the fastest rising stars on the sidelines during the biggest event of the year?

That is what Adam Page has asked mentor B.J. Whitmer over and over again. Through no fault of his own, the ROH star many consider to be the consensus most improved of 2015 is on the outside looking in at Final Battle. But Page will look to expunge and extract the disappointment and pain of being left out and channel it into his one on one bout the following night in Philadelphia with former eight-time ROH World Tag Team Champion Mark Briscoe!

Page bucked conventional wisdom when he chose to stay with the Decade after completing his apprenticeship as their Young Boy. The career move had its detractors but certainly paid off as Page reeled off wins one after another against the likes of Cedric Alexander, ACH, and Will Ferrara before pinning Tim Hughes in near-record setting fashion. Following his bout with Hughes, Page challenged former two-time ROH World Champion Jay Briscoe and took him to the limit at All-Star Extravaganza 7!

But the connection between Mark Briscoe and Page runs deeper and stronger than just through the Decade’s recent answer to Jay Briscoe’s call to “Man Up”. See, in early 2014, “The Sussex County Chicken” resisted the urge to align himself with the maniacal Decade and instead extended his hand in mentorship to Alexander and Page, culminating in a six-man tag team match at the 12th Anniversary Show in Philadelphia.

Following Alexander, Briscoe, and Page’s unsuccessful attempt to dethroning the Decade, Page spurned the “Master of Redneck Kung Fu’s” guidance and instead aligned himself with the very group that attempted injure him at the 12th Anniversary, the Decade.

Under Whitmer, Page has turned potential into reality and has become a true contender for the Ring of Honor World Television Championship. But because of Whitmer’s boneheaded actions that got the entire Decade banned from Final Battle, Page will have to wait until the night after to prove to ROH Matchmaker Nigel McGuinness that 2015 was the year of Page against a man who has been ROH Since Day One, Mark Briscoe.

In Philadelphia, we will truly see what sort of mental mettle the youngster Page has. Can he avoid stewing and stay out of his own head long enough to defeat one of ROH’s biggest stars? Or will Briscoe’s Froggy-Bo put Page away like it has so many other foes? And what role will Whitmer play at ringside? We will find out in Philly!

DALTON CASTLE VS. MOOSE VS. JAY BRISCOE VS. MATT SYDAL

Four of the brightest stars in Ring of Honor, all competing in the same match! There's no telling in what sort of condition these athletes will be on Saturday, as each will have gone through a war the night before at FINAL BATTLE. But the stakes are high at this AFTERMATH television taping. There's no doubt that regardless of the damage done at FINAL BATTLE, these four stars are coming back to Philadelphia the very night day ready for a fight!

Looking at this incredible line up, anyone can see that the outcome of this match will have major ROH championship implications. While no contendership is directly on the line, Nigel McGuinness will be watching this one closely!

Dalton Castle had a virtually unsurpassed year in Ring of Honor. His 2015 was peppered with emotional ups and downs fueled by Silas Young's influence over The Boys. But throughout his rivalry with Young, Dalton Castle's popularity has reached phenomenal heights! He has championship aspirations just like any other ROH star and many point to 2016 as the year he'll be in the running for the ROH World or Television titles. To get there, he needs to end 2015 as successfully as possible!

But you can't talk about a hot 2015 without bringing MOOSE into the conversation! Pegged as a sure-thing future champion, Moose takes on Michael Elgin at FINAL BATTLE. With that much strength and aggression in one ring, Moose and Elgin will absolutely destroy each other to pull out a win. The very next night, Moose takes on 3 of the best in ROH. There's no such thing as an easy night when you have the ambitious of this former NFL star turned professional wrestler. Moose has to be a favorite going into this four way contest, but victory is anything but definite when your opponents are this elite!

Matt Sydal has been making waves in Japan as part of NJPW, but on December 19th he will be fully focused on Philadelphia! Sydal has the high-flying advantage in this field of competitors. Matt Sydal is absolutely fearless, and among these four ROH stars he's the one most known for taking to the sky. His opponents need to keep him on the ground if they hope to neutralize him. Sydal might be #Reborn, but he's yet to hold singles gold in ROH. A win here could be the catalyst to change that in 2016!

Will Jay Briscoe hold the number one contendership to the ROH World Tag Team Championship after FINAL BATTLE? A win on pay-per-view secures Briscoe a future title shot and a major element of motivation for this AFTERMATH event! Jay Briscoe is a former two-time ROH World Champion and a record holding EIGHT time former ROH World Tag Team Champion. December 19th is yet another opportunity for him to prove that, whether its teaming with his brother Mark or going it alone, Jay Briscoe is still one of the best in the world!

RPG VICE vs ALL NIGHT EXPRESS

Ring of Honor's tag team division is STACKED! Teams from all around the world are finding a home in ROH and each one has championship gold in its sights. RPG Vice have been making waves in NJPW, but on December 19th they are back in ROH and scheduled to face a team reestablishing themselves as contenders after 3 years apart.

This is a first time EVER meeting of these two teams and Ring of Honor is bringing it to you as part of FINAL BATTLE weekend. The All Night Express have a major task in front of them on pay-per-view, as they are part of a Triple Threat Number One Contenders match to determine the top challengers for the ROH World Tag Team Championship. This means the Titus and King could be walking into December 19th more confident than ever! On the flip side, a win at FINAL BATTLE loses some of its luster if they cannot overcome RPG Vice the next night. Neither team can afford to give the other any ground if they hope to stay in the championship conversation.

Whatever happens at FINAL BATTLE, this first time ever clash will have major implications on the tag team championship picture. Wins and losses matter more than ever before now that there are so many world class caliber teams gunning for gold. It's guaranteed that both of these teams will unleash absolutely everything they have in their arsenals and you aren't going to want to miss it!

Be there LIVE in Philadelphia for this first time EVER tag team contest! To witness the AFTERMATH of FINAL BATTLE 2015, click HERE!

FOUR CORNER SURVIVAL
TAELER HENDRIX w/ TRUTH MARTINI VS. KELLY KLEIN w/ BJ WHITMER VS. VEDA SCOTT VS. KIMBER LEE

It's one of Ring of Honor's most exciting matches and this time the Four Corner Survival gets a twist from the Women of Honor! This is a massive opportunity for one of these athletes to step and establish herself as the most dominant in the division, and it all goes down in front of our wild Philadelphia fans.

Guided by Truth Martini, TAELER HENDRIX possesses a mesmerizing charisma that has captured the attention of everyone watching her in the ring. And that's exactly the way Hendrix wants it, fueled by the attention and flourishing in the spotlight. The "Poison Princess" of ROH combines athletic skill with her dominant personality to control her opponents with an almost hypnotic effect. Although unsuccessful in her recent outing against OBD, Hendrix has made an indelible impression that completely justifies Martini's faith in her. He is a manager of winners and Taeler Hendrix is always just three seconds from a victory in the Four Corner Survival!

KELLY KLEIN remains nearly as much of an enigma as she was weeks ago when she made her Women of Honor debut alongside BJ Whitmer. Klein seems to prefer to leave her opponents guessing when it comes to strategy, though "stay out of her way," would seem to be a fairly solid plan. What we know is that Kelly Klein prefers to do all her talking in the ring, leaving Whitmer to continue spouting his trademark brand of "wisdom" as the leader of The Decade. We also know that Klein sees herself as much more worthy than any other woman in ROH, after years of toiling and sacrifice in front of unappreciative audience. She's not here to wait for opportunities, she's here to choke them out of her opponents!

VEDA SCOTT currently holds the best record among the Women of Honor, and she's not about to give up that position to anyone else. Known for her...questionably...ethical behavior as Cedric Alexander's manager, we've seen Scott display a more aggressive, physical side of herself when she steps into an ROH ring. Determined to show ROH fans that the Women of Honor are here to be taken seriously, Veda Scott has made clear that she wants more and more competition - anyone and anywhere. This match up in Philadelphia is just the next step in showing the world what the Women of Honor can do, and Scott full intends to walk away a winner.

Making her Women of Honor debut, KIMBER LEE is no stranger to Philadelphia fans and heads to the 2300 Arena with a huge buzz surrounding her. Currently a champion in multiple major wrestling promotions, Lee is a fearless competitor who takes on men and women with equally successful results. This internationally traveled star is a much-anticipated addition to ROH. Renowned for a vicious German Suplex, her unique Venus Fly Trap submission, and the virtually inescapable Alligator Clutch pin, Kimber Lee comes into the Four Corner Survival as a potential favorite despite this being her very first Women of Honor match!

TWO massive Women of Honor bouts signed for Philadelphia on December 19th?! Ring of Honor is bringing you the best wrestling on the planet, period! To witness the AFTERMATH of FINAL BATTLE 2015, click HERE!

This is the biggest WOH match since the 6 Woman Mayhem match at Supercard Of Honor, which was a classic. Why would I be sarcastic about that?

This is still a nothing, most likely dark match involving a bunch of women with no goals or anything. I mean, what's Hendrix' character outside of "she's evil and looks great in a sweater" ? Same thing with Klein outside of "she's tall and evil and something something the Decade", and Veda is pretty much a blank slate character wise (as a wrestler I mean).

Hendrix takes advantages of her looks and Klein is a angry veteran, Veda i really don´t know because she acts different as a wrestler than as a manager.

The Kingdom never ends. #kingdom Family is forever.


It looks like they are leaving. I won't really miss them, the tag division is stacked right now. It's got to be WWE, right? They would never give up New Japan for TNA. I'm super cool with them leaving as far as they use the money to sign Red Dragon.

Looks like Bennett & Maria are officially done after tonight. Taven is reportedly under contract until March.

I wonder if they know where they are going (TNA would seem to be the favorite to me because I can't see legit WWE interest and I could see Dixie thinking they're a big deal because she was in the WWE and on a reality show)...or if it's more of a Ciampa situation where they've just decided to leave without a clear landing spot?
