Ring of Honor issued the following:
GLORY BY HONOR XIV is just a few weeks away and this year the ROH tradition is coming to Kalamazoo! This massive event will be taped for ROH television. With FINAL BATTLE mere months away, every single match and moment is even more important than ever for the stars of ROH. And Nigel McGuinness has signed a match for October 23rd that is the biggest of one young athlete’s entire career:
“THE PHENOMENAL” AJ STYLES vs DONOVAN DIJAK w/ TRUTH MARTINI
Now that AJ Styles is the number one contender to the ROH World Championship, he has his sights locked on current champion, Jay Lethal. Styles won the opportunity at ALL STAR EXTRAVAGANZA, coming out on top of a battle between himself, Roderick Strong, Michael Elgin, and Adam Cole.
Many make the argument that AJ Styles is THE best professional wrestler in the entire world, and that point of view is backed up by his dynamic matches and status as former two-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion. To put it simply, Styles has seen and done it all – but he’s never been ROH World Champion. That could change when he finally gets his shot at Jay Lethal.
Lethal and his manager, Truth Martini are never without a plan. Martini has recruited those who he feels are destined for greatness into his House of Truth, and so far his scouting has been on point. Men like Michael Elgin, Matt Taven, Roderick Strong, and now current World and Television Champion Jay Lethal have all had the “it” factor Truth Martini cultivates. So when Donovan Dijak won the most recent ROH Top Prospect Tournament, it came as little surprise that Martini would enfold him in the House of Truth. Dijak seems poised for a championship future himself!
On October 23rd, Donovan Dijak steps into the ring with AJ STYLES! This is the highest profile match of Dijak’s young career, and could mean massive implications for his future. Perhaps most importantly, this is Martini’s method for softening up Styles for his eventual encounter with Jay Lethal! Martini is sending the massive Dijak to do the dirty work for the HOT and to prove he deserves the tutelage of the “managerial sensation.”
Don’t miss your chance to this first-time-ever contest! There is absolutely nothing in the world like seeing AJ Styles live. And all the rest of your favorite ROH stars will be in Kalamazoo to bring you the best professional wrestling on the planet. To get your tickets for GLORY BY HONOR on October 23rd, click HERE!
