Nigel McGuinness has decided to indeed make that the main event at Best In The World. Furthermore, if Briscoe is able to successful defend against Davey Richards in San Antonio and Eddie Edwards in Columbus, then his title will be on the line against Mark at Best In The World.

McGuinness had this to say to ROHWrestling.com: "Jay and Mark gave me something to think about. I look at 'Best in the World' and I see an event that should showcase why Ring of Honor is the best wrestling on the planet. Two years ago it did just that with Davey and Eddie's epic scrap and last year, even though it was Kevin Steen as champion, he and Davey demonstrated why our World Title is the most important one there is with how hard they fought. So this year, well what better way to celebrate honor than with a good old fashioned family feud between two of our founding fathers? Any time we've seen Jay and Mark go at it there's no holding back and that is just what I want to see at 'Best in the World'! Mark Briscoe versus Jay Briscoe will happen on June 22nd and if Jay makes it past both Davey and Eddie as champion in the next few weeks, then the World Title WILL be on the line!"
