This week’s episode of AEW Rampage, Fyter Fest Week 1, added an ROH Championship match to the upcoming Death Before Dishonor PPV. Claudio Castagnoli will challenge Jonathan Gresham for the top title in the fifth title match planned for the show. The matchup came about after Gresham successfully defended the belt against Lee Moriarity on AEW Rampage on Friday. After the match, Gresham and manager Tully Blanchard were interrupted by Castagnoli, setting up the match.
ROH soon made things official with a press release:
Ring of Honor will storm into Lowell, Mass., with one of the hottest pay-per-view events, ROH: Death Before Dishonor.

Bleeding Cool will have coverage of ROH Death Before Dishonor, including updates as more matches are added to the card in the next week. The show will be the second since Tony Khan purchased the company, but the first without a major WWE event bringing fans into the region it’s taking place in. The event isn’t sold out yet, but is currently doing better numbers than a typical ROH event before the sale. The last PPV also had the highest buys the company achieved in a long time. Can they pull it off again? That remains to be seen.
