- Announced for the January 18th ROH Live Event in Dearborn, Michigan, Rhino will go one on one with Michael Elgin. Currently, there are lots of unanswered questions with how Rhino fits in with S.C.U.M. Elgin however, just wants to defeat anything standing in his path to another confrontation with Roderick Strong. Tickets are on sale now.

- When it comes to Rhino and S.C.U.M., his role is, as previously stated, largely unknown. Fans of ROH will know the extreme history between Rhino and Steve Corino. Some think Rhino is being paid to protect S.C.U.M., others think that Rhino has volunteered his services and others think that Rhino is officially the fourth member of the group. Fans should know sooner than later what is going on.

- As a result of his Survival of the Fittest win, Jay Lethal promised he would bring the fight to ROH World Champion Kevin Steen at Final Battle 2012. Obviously, that did not happen. Lethal however, did spit in the face of ROH Match Maker Nigel McGuinness, which caused McGuinness to have Lethal removed from the building. McGuinness then later announced that Lethal would not be suspended for his actions. However, ROH officials plan on increasing security at the January 5th TV tapings.

- Nigel McGuinness has signed Jay Lethal's matches for both the January 18th live event in Dearborn, Michigan and the January 19th live event in Milwaukee. On January 18th, Lethal will go one on one with the man who attacked him in New York, Steve Corino. On January 19th Lethal will team with Jay and Mark Briscoe to take on Corino, Jimmy Jacobs and Rhino. Perhaps this is where the questions regarding Rhino and S.C.U.M. will be answered. Tickets for both events are on sale now.

- Also on the card for the January 19th show in Milwaukee, Kyle O' Reilly will go head to head with his former friend and mentor Davey Richards.

- This week on Ring of Honor Wrestling TV is a special New Years edition that takes a look back at the matches of the year for 2012. Also, the 2012 match of the year will be announced.
