RUSH will not be challenging for the ROH World Title at Final Battle, as he’s sidelined with a knee injury. Tony Khan announced Thursday night on Twitter that the LGI member will not be competing on next week’s PPV. He noted that RUSH is not currently medically cleared, as he’s dealing with a knee injury.
“After some medical exams, RUSH has got a knee injury,” Khan said. “RUSH is not going to challenge Bandido for the championship. I am going to instead ask RUSH to take some time to heal up as a result. First of all, RUSH and Sammy Guevara will not be able to defend the Tag Team Championships. So on ROH tomorrow, I will address that. But also, RUSH will not be able to challenge Bandido for the championship at Final Battle as we originally had expected.”
He continued, “So what we’re going to have is one of the most exciting matches in ROH. Survival of the Fittest. I can’t wait for a Survival of the Fittest on ROH next Friday with Bandido defending the ROH World Championship against Komander, Hechicero, two members of LFI both trying to vie for not only to take that spot that RUSH was lined up to take as a challenger for Bandido. But also they’ll be angling to keep the Tag Team Championships in LFI. And that is Sammy Guevara and Beast Mortos… there’s also a man who’s undefeated in singles matches in ROH this year and deserves a championship match on the big stage. And that’s the Vanilla Baby Blake Christian.”
The updated lineup for the show is below. ROH Final Battle takes place from GalaxyCon in Columbus, Ohio on December 5th. It airs live on HonorClub.
* ROH World Championship Survival Of the Firttest Match: Bandido vs. Sammy Guevara vs. Hechicero vs. Black Christian vs. The Beast Mortos vs. Komander.
