Ring of Honor announced that Dalton Castle will challenge ROH Champion Cody at the December 15th ROH Final Battle event. Here is the announcement:

MAIN EVENT: ROH WORLD CHAMPION “THE AMERICAN NIGHTMARE” CODY vs. DALTON CASTLE

“The American Nightmare” captured the ROH World Championship from Christopher Daniels at Best in the World. Since then, Cody has maintained an open challenge for his championship, defending it against everyone from Cheeseburger to KUSHIDA, Minoru Suzuki, and more. Cody was accepting all challengers, and announced he believed that he defeated everyone following a victory over Sanada at War of the Worlds: Liverpool before being confronted by Dalton Castle!

Castle went nose to nose with the champ and it looked like the two would go at it right then and there! But Cody rolled out of the ring and fans would have to wait.

They would wait for a few months. The next night, Cody sneak attacked Castle, injuring Castle’s shoulder in the process, while yelling at Castle that he did not deserve a title shot. Fast forward two months later to Global Wars: Chicago, the last night of the most financially-lucrative tour in ROH history. Cody had made a habit of taking selfies with fans after his victories on the tour and decided to address the crowd and take selfies before the match. Cody selected what appeared to be a fan with an American flag ski mask to take a photo with him.

By the time Cody had his phone ready, he was accidentally taking a video instead. And that video revealed what all the fans in Chicago and those watching on IPPV saw even clearer—the fan was Dalton Castle and he was there to get revenge!

In Philadelphia, Cody promised to take on “the man everyone wanted to see him face”. With the crowd chanting for Castle at a fever pitch, Cody instead brought out ROH Dojo graduate Ryan Nova. Cody picked up the victory in short order before Castle confronted him once more.

With the challenge officially issued, Cody’s management team has come to terms with Castle, and the ROH World Championship will be on the line in the Big Apple! For Castle, this match is not only an opportunity to reach the pinnacle of professional wrestling but also to shove every word back down the champion’s throat. Cody, just over one year after his ROH debut, has an opportunity to walk into ROH’s premier event as World Champion defeating a man who he looks down on, a man he calls only a gimmick, a man who he doesn’t truly believe is a championship-caliber wrestler.

If Cody successfully defends his championship from now until Final Battle, with at least one defense scheduled against Rocky Romero in Ft. Lauderdale, FL at ROH Elite, it will be Cody versus Dalton Castle at Final Battle with not only a grudge to be settled but also the ROH World Championship on the line! Who will leave the City That Never Sleeps ROH World Champion? Join us to find out!

Every year, Final Battle is the biggest event on the Ring of Honor calendar! Following the fastest sellout in Final Battle history, the only way you can see Final Battle LIVE is by joining ROH on Pay Per View, available on all major Pay Per View providers, ROHWrestling.com, Fite.TV, and Playstation Network on Friday December 15 at 9 PM EST!

The Hell in a Cell match is undoubtedly one of the best gimmick matches in history. There have numerous instant classics contested within the Cell. Who can forget Undertaker v. Big Boss Man? Or Undertaker v. Kane?

There have been 36 different matches, with more than 20 wrestlers having been inside the Cell. It’s easy to forget some of the guys who sacrificed their bodies in the Devil’s Playground. Here are four guys you may have forgotten competed inside Satan’s Structure.

Paul Heyman (Hell in a Cell, 2013)

In the summer of 2013, Paul Heyman betrayed his client CM Punk, so they had a big fight. Eventually, due to reasons, CM Punk would face everyone’s favorite meathead Ryback. There was a twist, though. Heyman would be teaming with Ry”Da Big Guy”Back in a 2-on-1 handicap Hell in a Cell match.

Heyman, being a manager, avoided the brunt of the battle by climbing on top of the Cell before the match started. The doors were locked, and he was supposedly safe from Punk. He was then treated to a bird’s eye view of Punk casually murdering Ryback in the Cell. A GTS ended the match, and Punk quickly made his way up the Cell, and he had a kendo stick with him.

Punk proceeded to whack the life out of his former manager with the Kendo stick atop of the Cell before putting him to sleep with a GTS.

Some partner Heyman was.

Ryback opens today’s show by revealing whether he misses being on the road with WWE full time. He says that sometimes he misses the live events and the guys who he developed relationships with, but he doesn’t miss television tapings and all the ‘shit’ that comes along with being on the road 300 days a year.

He says that last week’s show made some headlines due to his recollection of a backstage scenario featuring Tyler Breeze. Some people questioned the legitimacy of Ryback’s claims, but he says that he was there in person when Vince McMahon witnessed Breeze leaving an arena early, and Breeze’s stock within WWE immediately plummeted after that.

Nonetheless, he likes what WWE is doing with Breezango right now as they continue to produce entertaining segments every week. He’s still confused by the fact that Tyler Breeze is wearing a dress every week now, but he assumes that someone backstage at WWE gets their kicks from seeing Breeze in a dress.

Ryback says he loved the Rap Battle on Smackdown Live last week between The Usos and The New Day. He says that these types of segments are what have been missing from WWE programming lately, and the ‘R rating’ line in particular proves that anything can happen on WWE programming, similar to how fans felt about the product during the attitude era.
