Ring Of Honor presents something NEW and INNOVATIVE (sorry, I couldn't resist). The Survival of the Fittest tournament!
By order of ROH Commissioner Jimmy Hart, the entire active ROH roster (sans current ROH Champions) has been entered into a five-week tournament to determine new top contenders for all four titles.
For four weeks, a series of one-on-one matches will be contested, culminating in a four-way elimination match the week before Survival of the Fittest is to be presented on pay-per-view.
The winner of that match will receive a World Title match against Ace Steel. The runner-up will receive a Pure Title match against Rocky Romero. The third-place finisher will receive a Lightweight Title match against Mikey Whipwreck. The fourth-place finisher will receive a Tag Teal Title match against The Briscoe Brothers with a partner of their choosing. If the third-place finisher does not qualify for the Lightweight division, provisions will be made.
Never before have FOUR #1 contenders been determined in ONE tournament. Here now, the first-round match-ups.
