Cody vs. SANADA to main event ROH War of the Worlds UK iPPV
After announcing that the show would be broadcast on iPPV, it didn’t take long for Ring of Honor to reveal the main event of War of the Worlds UK: Liverpool.
It will be Cody Rhodes defending his ROH World Championship against Los Ingobernables de Japon member SANADA. Rhodes won the title at ROH’s Best in the World pay-per-view last month when he defeated Christopher Daniels.
SANADA will be coming off of his run in this year’s G1 Climax, which ends on August 13th. The War of the Worlds UK iPPV will take place at the Olympia in Liverpool on August 19th, with SANADA’s Los Ingobernables stablemates (Tetsuya Naito, EVIL, BUSHI, and Hiromu Takahashi) also scheduled to appear.
A four-corner survival match with KUSHIDA putting his ROH Television title on the line against Marty Scurll, Dalton Castle, and Hiromu Takahashi is the only other match announced for the Liverpool show as of now.
