Bandido to challenge for TV title at ROH Best in the World PPV
A Television title match is set for ROH’s Best in the World pay-per-view.
In this week’s Eck’s Files article on ROH’s website, it was announced that Bandido will challenge for Shane Taylor’s Television Championship at Best in the World. The PPV is taking place at the UMBC Event Center in Baltimore, Maryland on Friday, June 28.
Bandido defeated Taylor in the main event of this week’s episode of ROH TV, though that match was taped before Taylor became TV Champion. Taylor won the title by defeating Jeff Cobb, Hirooki Goto, and Brody King in a four corner survival match at War of the Worlds: Toronto on May 9.
The story for the finish of the four corner survival match was that Cobb lost the TV title without being pinned. Cobb gave King the Tour of the Islands, then Taylor hit a knee strike on Cobb and pinned King after hitting him with Greetings from 216.
The night after Best in the World, ROH will hold a set of TV tapings at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
