Following tonight's Ring of Honor Death Before Dishonor PPV, the promotion has run its last currently scheduled event in front of a live crowd this year. There had been plans to run several house shows this fall but the decision was made to hold off on those events due to the COVID-19 Delta variant and concerns over how it may affect touring.
ROH will tape their next rounds of TV tapings before a closed set tomorrow and Tuesday in Philadelphia at the 2300 Arena. There are also tapings set for November in Baltimore.
We are told that going forward, decisions will be made on a "week to week" basis as to when they run again before live crowds.
A decision as to whether the promotion's next planned PPV, Final Battle, will be held before live fans has not yet been determined, PWInsider.com can also confirm. That show is tentatively set for Baltimore as well.
During the commentary on tonight's PPV, it was noted that Josh Woods' father passed away several weeks ago. Our deepest condolences to Woods and his family. It was noted that his father was scheduled to be in attendance at the PPV and would have been the first time he saw his son wrestle, so that's just heartbreaking. The Monster Factory's Danny Cage was in attendance at the show at Woods' invitation as well. The plan to move the title to Woods was a long-term vision and not a last minute decision, we are told.
Chris Hero was backstage tonight working as a producer for the PPV.
The announced injuries for Jay Lethal, Rhett Titus and Tracy Williams were simply storyline to explain why they were not wrestling on the PPV. They will be in action at this week's TV tapings.
Jake Atlas, Alex Zayne and Taylor Rust will be taking part in this week's TV tapings.
Atlas obviously got banged up towards the end of his match with Rust tonight.
Lenny Leonard was brought in to do commentary for the ROH Women's World title bout at the PPV tonight. He is not slated to work this week's TV tapings.
