Jay Lethal vs. Adam Brooks Signed for ROH Honor Re-United: Edinburgh

It's been announced that Ring of Honor Wrestling World Champion Jay Lethal will be in action at ROH Honor Re-United: Edinburgh, as he will be taking on Australian competitor Adam Brooks in a Proving Ground Match.

The following comes from ROHWrestling.com:

Jay Lethal captured the ROH World Championship for the second time in Fairfax, VA, outlasting Cody and Matt Taven before pinning then-Champion Dalton Castle to capture the title. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy for Lethal who called his shot: Lethal had declared he would defeat the short list of men that had defeated him before inserting himself back into the World Championship picture. With victories over Taven, Punishment Martinez, KUSHIDA, Mark Briscoe, and Chuckie T., only one name was left and Lethal would pin Castle, a man that defeated him in Las Vegas, to capture the ROH World Championship.

During Lethal’s year-plus first run as Champion, Lethal gained a reputation for defending against any and all challengers, often offering Proving Ground matches when the Board of Directors did not believe someone had done enough to qualify for a Championship match as a way to earn a match against the Champion.

Adam Brooks is one of the fastest-rising stars from Australia who now makes his wrestling home in the UK with RevPro. While Brooks has recent victories over Brian Cage and Keith Lee, has stood out in PWG competition, and has won World Championships in Australia, he has not yet competed in a ROH ring. But Jay Lethal wants the best and wants an opportunity to compete on an international stage. Just days before defending his World Championship in London against the winner of the International Cup, Lethal will step into the ring against one of Australia’s very best in Edinburgh! And If Brooks wins, he earns a future Ring of Honor World Championship opportunity!
