Colt Cabana to defend NWA National title at ROH TV tapings

Colt Cabana’s first defense of the NWA National Championship will take place at this month’s ROH television tapings.

Cabana vs. James Storm for the National title has been announced for ROH’s tapings in Villa Park, Illinois on Sunday, May 12. The show is the final night of ROH’s War of the Worlds tour.

At the NWA & ROH’s Crockett Cup event this past weekend, Cabana defeated Willie Mack to win the National title. James Storm came out to the ring after the match, cutting a promo on NWA management and how they don’t want him to be World Champion. Storm complimented Cabana but said he’s come up with a plan where management can’t silence him — and that’s winning the National title.

The War of the Worlds tour also has stops in Buffalo, New York on May 8, Toronto, Ontario, Canada on May 9, and Grand Rapids, Michigan on May 11.

Jay Lethal vs. Jeff Cobb vs. Rush vs. PCO will headline the TV tapings in Villa Park. Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa defending the ROH Tag Team titles against The Briscoes, Hirooki Goto vs. Hikuleo, EVIL & SANADA vs. Satoshi Kojima & Yuji Nagata, and PJ Black vs. Karl Fredericks have also been announced for the tapings.
