Tony Khan has loaded up the pre-show.
Final Battle is less than 24 hours away and the pay-per-view just added four exciting new matches that can be genuine show stealers.
First, The Dark Order’s Alex Reynolds & John Silver will take on The Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson). This rivalry has been developing quite a bit as Drake and Gibson have been toying with Evil Uno about Reynolds and Silver.
The Dark Order members have been making fun of the former WWE stars, but Evil Uno has been unhappy with Reynolds and Silver because of how silly they are. Silver & Reynolds will get to showcase they’re more than just a silly duo in ROH.
The second tag team match on the Zero Hour pre-show will see LEEJ (Lee Johnson & EJ Nduka) take on the Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona). Lee Johnson has been getting his butt handed to him by the former ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions, but his luck bounced back when he got a win over Bishop Kaun recently. There’s been several teases of a fight between Nduka and Liona, though these men have yet to come to blows.
The third tag team match will see the Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett) vs. The Infantry. This rivalry is a callback to their match in July. Taven and Bennett cheated to beat The Infantry and now Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are looking to avenge their loss. Meanwhile, Taven and Bennett will be at ringside for Adam Cole’s match against MJF At World’s End. Given the situation, will Taven and Bennett be distracted over the personal beef between MJF and Adam Cole?
In the women’s division, newcomer Harley Cameron continues to climb her way up the rankings as she’ll face Hanako from Stardom. Also a newcomer in professional wrestling, Hanako has been making a name for herself as of late in her Empress Nexus Venus stable that was first originated by Mariah May, Mina Shirakawa, and Xia Brookside.
