Two matches added to ROH Manhattan Mayhem TV tapings
Two matches have been added to the lineup for ROH’s Manhattan Mayhem television tapings.
In an ROH video update, it was announced that Jonathan Gresham will face Dragon Lee at Manhattan Mayhem. An eight-man tag match between Villain Enterprises (Marty Scurll, PCO, Brody King & Flip Gordon) and LifeBlood (Mark Haskins, Bandido & Tracy Williams) & PJ Black was also confirmed for the show.
Gresham and Lee were both in the A Block of NJPW’s Best of the Super Juniors this year, with Lee defeating Gresham in their tournament match. Lee also defeated Gresham in All Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Revolution’s King of Indies tournament this past Friday.
Scurll, PCO & King retained their ROH Six-Man Tag Team titles against Haskins, Williams & Black at Best in the World 2019. It was teased that Gordon was joining LifeBlood, but he was instead revealed as the newest member of Villain Enterprises after that match.
Manhattan Mayhem is taking place at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City on Saturday, July 20. Jay Lethal will challenge for Matt Taven’s ROH World Championship at the tapings. In a match that will air live on HonorClub, Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa will defend the ROH Tag Team titles against The Briscoes in an NYC street fight.
Alex Shelley, who returned at ROH’s most recent set of TV tapings, is set for Manhattan Mayhem and ROH’s Mass Hysteria HonorClub show in Lowell, Massachusetts on July 21. In the video update, it was hyped that Shelley wants to challenge the ROH World Champion at Summer Supercard in Toronto on August 9.
