ROH Final Battle 2015

After the ratings collapse that WWE suffered during the final quarter of the year and the tumultuous time that TNA have had once again over the past 12 months, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Ring of Honor had had an uneventful 2015. However, between an expansion of their offerings on traditional pay-per-view, their network television debut on Destination America, there continuing deal with New Japan and the collective challenges all of these bring both directly and indirectly, it is fair to say that 2015 was potentially the most significant year the company has had in some time. Some of the direct issues involved have meant an increased spotlight placed on their talent- essentially putting them in the shop window for other promotions to have a look at- primarily amongst those in this position ahead of Final Battle were Michael Bennett, one half of the ROH Tag Team Champions, The Kingdom, and his wife, and The Kingdom’s valet, Maria Kanellis who are rumoured to have signed a deal with TNA. Indirectly, ROH have come under more scrutiny than ever before from WWE (never likely to take lightly any slight infringement on the money that could potentially come their way, no matter how small the threat).
