ROH 18th Anniversary Show Night One: Full card predictions
Shane Taylor vs. Kenny King vs. Dan Maff vs. Bateman – Four Corner Survival
Not much of a story here to speak on, but two things are worth noting. The first being that the winner of this match gets a title match of their choosing. The second is that Shane Taylor (who is amazing and Ring of Honor’s best big boy) just signed himself a shiny new contract.
That alone doesn’t ensure him a win, but it makes his win a strong possibility. Plus, after a fabulous TV Title run, it is about time that he gets himself a World Championship match somewhere down the line, whether there are plans to give him the belt or not.
Prediction: Taylor wins, gets World Title shot (likely for ROH TV)
Dragon Lee (c) vs. Bandido – ROH Television Championship
Speaking of Shane Taylor and the TV Championship, Dragon Lee miraculously upset Taylor of his 218 day reign last December at Final Battle. Since then, he has been able to successfully defend his belt against Andrew Everett and then against Dak Draper.
Now, in the biggest challenge of his run yet, he faces another skilled masked wrestler in Bandido. This one has potential to be a show stealer, but I also do not expect Lee to lose his title as fast after winning it mere months ago.
Prediction: Lee retains
