Claudio Castagnoli vs. AR Fox title match set for ROH TV return

The first main event for the return of ROH television has been set.

Tony Khan on Twitter confirmed that Claudio Castagnoli will defend the ROH World Championship against AR Fox on the first episode of ROH television that will air next Thursday, March 2, on ROH’s Honor Club streaming service.

“The New Era of Honor will begin this Thursday with ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli defending the title vs. a man who cost him $100,000 at Christmas, AR Fox,” Khan wrote.

The match Khan is referring to is the Three Kings Christmas Casino Trios Battle Royal that took place on the December 21 edition of AEW Rampage. Dante Martin last eliminated Castagnoli to win the match for himself, Darius Martin, and Fox, with all three receiving $100,000 in storyline.

ROH is taping television for the first time in over a year Saturday in Orlando, Florida. The promotion’s next pay-per-view will be Supercard of Honor, which takes place on March 31 in Los Angeles during WrestleMania 39 weekend.
