ROH Announces First 10 Honor Rumble Participants
The first 10 of 15 participants have been revealed for the Honor Rumble at the upcoming ROH Death Before Dishonor XVIII pay-per-view.
As noted, ROH announced last week that Danhausen will be participating in the Hour One pre-show match. They announced the next 9 participants today – Beer City Bruiser, PJ Black, Dak Draper, Rey Horus, Brian Johnson, Joe Keys, Brian Milonas, Sledge, Silas Young.
There is no word on when the final 5 participants will be named, but ROH is teasing that there will be one or two surprise entrants.
The winner of the Honor Rumble will receive a future shot at the ROH World Title, currently held by Bandido. The Battle Royal-style match begins with two random competitors and has the other participants entering the ring every 90 seconds.
