New ROH World Champion Crowned

RUSH captured the ROH World Championship at Death Before Dishonor last night, defeating former champion Matt Taven.

Taven had held the title for 175 days, winning it in a three-way ladder match a April’s G1 Supercard show that also included then-champion Jay Lethal and Marty Scurll.

This is RUSH’s first title in ROH as he only signed with the promotion in January following a decorated career in CMLL.

The win makes RUSH the first ever Mexican-born World Champion in the promotion’s history.

There was also a title change for the Women of Honor title at Death Before Dishonor, as Angelina Love defeated Kelly Klein.
