-ROHwrestling.com has announced that Samoa Joe, due to his 21 month reign as champion, is deserving of a re-match with the man who dethroned him, Austin Aries.

Also, the Havana Pitbulls will defend the Tag Titles in an Ultimate Endurance match. The challanging teams will be Jack Evans & Roderick Strong, CM Punk & Steve Corino and The Carnage Crew.

-All the teams for the Scramble Cage match on 2/19 in Elizabeth, NJ have been announced. The teams will be Roderick Strong & Jack Evans(who always shines in Scramble Cage matches), The Carnage Crew, Izzy & Deranged of Special K, Dixie & Angel Dust of Special K and the most over ring-crew workers of all-time, Dunn & Marcos.
