Shane Taylor To Challenge RUSH For ROH World Title

Ring of Honor has announced that Shane Taylor is set to challenge RUSH for the ROH World Championship. The company held a poll on their Facebook group called The Experience, and Taylor was voted as the next challenger for the ROH title.

From the ROH official website:

Shane Taylor isn’t the only one who feels he deserves an ROH World Title shot.

Taylor was the winner by a wide margin of a poll on the ROH The Experience Facebook group page that asked which top contender should challenge two-time ROH World Champion RUSH.

Honor Nation demanded it, and ROH is going to deliver it.

The Taylor-RUSH match will happen as a direct result of the fans making their voices heard. It’s what The Experience, ROH’s groundbreaking fan engagement initiative, is all about.

A date has not yet been set for the first-time-ever singles match between the two hard-hitting competitors.

Taylor is coming off a big win over two-time former ROH World Champion Jay Briscoe at Final Battle last month. RUSH, who scored a controversial victory over Brody King at Final Battle, has only been pinned once in ROH since making his debut in December 2018.
