Last night was ROH’s final pay-per-view of the year, Final Battle; however, the event also marked what’s considered the final show for many of the Elite members along with Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels.
After the brutal and insane ladder wars match – which was won by The Briscoe Brothers – The Elite members came into the ring and gave an emotional speech. Rumors continue to swirl about the All Elite Wrestling promotion that will reportedly be revealed next year. The Elite, Chris Jericho, Jim Ross, and Tony Khan are all reported to be involved with the new promotion.
Daniels and Kazarian have yet to sign new deals with the company, but the former ROH World Heavyweight champion made it clear on
ESPN that he isn’t hanging up the boots just yet:
“I haven't decided to hang up my boots yet, so whatever happens, I want to continue wrestling until I decide it's time for me to stop," said Daniels. "I haven't put an end date on when the in-ring part of my career is going to be finished. It's hard to put those plans in any sort of motion until I know for sure it's time for me to walk away from the performance side of it."
Once the group finished speaking to the live crowd, they then linked arms, and posed before heading to the back. There’s no telling what the future lies for these men in 2019, but one thing’s for sure, most of the wrestling community is waiting in anticipation.
