ROH Tag Team titles vacated, plan for new champions revealed

New Ring of Honor Tag Team champions will come in just one week’s time.

Announced during Friday’s episode of ROH on HonorClub, it was revealed that due to Rush’s just announced knee injury, he and LFI partner Sammy Guevara had to vacate the titles. However, Guevara and new partner The Beast Mortos will get a shot against Tommy Billington & Adam Priest at next Friday’s Final Battle streaming special.

Rush and Guevara had a 92-day run with the gold after winning the then-vacant titles at August’s Death Before Dishonor, defending them just once. Priest and Billington have never competed in ROH as a traditional tag team, going 0-2 on AEW Collision against FTR. They have recently gone 2-0 in trios action with Jay Lethal as a partner.

Guevara and Mortos will be doing double duty in Columbus, Ohio, as both will also be in a six-way Survival of the Fittest elimination match for Bandido’s ROH World title.
