The Ring of Honor World Championship match for ROH Supercard of Honor is set, as Eddie Kingston chose his opponent.
Kingston will defend his ROH title against Mark Briscoe at the event, after the champion laid down the challenge on last night’s episode of Ring of Honor.
Kingston cut a promo backstage, challenging Briscoe to the match. He referenced Briscoe missing out on a match against former Champion Claudio Castagnoli due to the injury, while also speaking about his late-brother Jay.
“Ring of Honor Supercard is coming up. it’s in the birthplace of Ring of Honor in Philly.”
“There was someone, almost a year ago, who was supposed to have a title shot at Claudio, but got injured. He never got his title shot. And that’s you, Mark. That’s you, chicken Mark Briscoe. You know this. You weren’t allowed on the first Ring of Honor show because you were 17. But you were there. Your brother Jay vs the Amazing Red.”
Kingston added: “So why not, man? its beautiful. Its only two or three hours away from home. Bring all your people, man. Not because I’m going to beat you. Not like Okada, who I am going to scar, mentally, emotionally, or physically. Me and you are going to show what the beautiful, beautiful art of professional wrestling really is.”
“We’re not gonna play with each other. We’re not gonna dance, we’re going to fight. And we’re gonna fight for the Ring of Honor World Championship, in Philadelphia, where it all started, because I respect you, Mark. And you have been there, earning this shot for years. You deserve this shot. And I want to be the man who gives you that shot.”
Eddie Kingston will wrestle Kazuchika Okada on AEW Dynamite this week, before facing Mark Briscoe at ROH Supercard of Honor on April 5, 2024 in Philadelphia.
