Nick Wayne will defend the ROH Television Title against Titan this Friday at Supercard of Honor, following their previous encounter at Grand Slam Mexico that ended in a time limit draw. The announcement came from Ring of Honor’s official social media channels, confirming the highly anticipated rematch after the two reached a stalemate in a Proving Ground match last month.
Proving Ground Bout Secured Titan’s Title Opportunity
The Proving Ground match at Global Wars México saw Titan exhaustively challenge Wayne but ultimately fail to claim victory before time expired. This result earned Titan a full title shot for the ROH Television Championship, setting up a tense matchup filled with unresolved tension and competitive fire. ROH’s social media underscored the drama, questioning whether Titan would reclaim the title for CMLL or if Wayne, known as “The Prodigy,” would hold on to his belt.
“Titán earned his shot, going the distance in a Proving Ground bout vs Nick at Global Wars México! Will Titán return to CMLL as ROH World TV Champ, or will The Prodigy retain this Friday?” —ROH
Wayne’s Complex Rivalry Adds Depth to Storyline
Beyond the championship battle, Wayne’s storyline with Christian Cage adds complexity to his character arc. Cage, who appears determined to test Wayne’s limits through various challenges, has left Wayne uncertain about Cage’s true intentions. This ongoing narrative deepens the stakes for Wayne as he prepares for his Supercard of Honor match and other upcoming events.
Additionally, Wayne is scheduled to team up with Christian Cage in a three-way tag match against JetSpeed (Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight) and AEW Tag Team Champions The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin) during the All In event on Saturday, adding further layers to his current trajectory in ROH and AEW storylines.
