Grudge match added to Death Before Dishonor.
Ring of Honor announced that former friends Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham will clash at Death Before Dishonor on Sept. 27.
Jay Lethal didn’t want it come to this, but he feels he has no choice.
After coming to blows following their loss in a tag match during the Global Wars Espectacular tour over the weekend, one-time best friends Lethal and Gresham will square off at the Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view on Sept. 27 in Las Vegas.
The tension between the two has been brewing for a couple months due to Gresham’s sudden willingness to break the rules to achieve victory. Things finally boiled over after their loss to Silas Young and Josh Woods in Milwaukee on Sept. 8. Lethal and Gresham began slugging it out and had to be pulled apart by security.
Afterwards, a dispirited Lethal told backstage correspondent Quinn McKay that he and Gresham have to settle things in the ring.
“He’s on the wrong path. The only way I can think to help is to settle this in the ring,” Lethal told McKay. “I don’t want to do this, but I have to.”
Emotions no doubt will be running high when Lethal and Gresham face off in Las Vegas. Join us live in person or streaming for HonorClub to see what happens when former friends collide!
