ROH World title rematch signed for next week
Ring of Honor World Champion Bandido will defend his title against CMLL’s Mascara Dorada in the headliner of next week’s ROH on HonorClub.
The match was announced during Thursday’s broadcast after Dorada picked up a victory over Angelico — his first and only in the promotion. It will be a rematch from their first-ever meeting that took place on June 17 as part of CMLL Martes Populares at Arena Mexico, a bout Bandido won.
The two have been on opposite ends of tag team matches three times since then and also competed in a three-way against Mistico on a Mexican indie show. The two did team together alongside JetSpeed on a mid-July edition of Collision.
Bandido just passed the 200-day mark in his second run as ROH World Champion and has six title successful title defenses. He and Brody King are also the reigning AEW World Tag Team Champions.
Dorada is currently both the CMLL World Historic Welterweight Champion and one third of the CMLL World Trios Champions.
