Gresham’s ROH championship won’t be at stake. Since Gresham is due to defend against Claudio Castagnoli at ROH Death Before Dishonor this coming Saturday, it’s probable that he won’t bring the strap to the JCP event.
It’s interesting that this match is being billed as an independent dream match considering that Gresham is signed to ROH/AEW, Takeshita is currently employed full-time by AEW, Angels was recently signed by the company but is currently working on a per-night contract with it, and Wayne signed with AEW earlier this year at the age of 16, to a contract that will see him begin working in the company when he turns 18.
In related news, the Bunkhouse Battle Royal will be back for the JCP event, as previously announced. A bronze cowboy boot and belt buckle will be awarded to the winner as a tribute to the match’s creator and a WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes. The only participant named for the Battle Royal as of this writing is WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray, but more competitors will be confirmed soon.
On Thursday, beginning at 12:00pm EDT, we’ll announce additional participants for The Bunkhouse Battle Royal at #FlairsLastMatch!@bullyray5150’s already been announced!
