From ROHWrestling.com:
THIS Saturday night Ring of Honor returns to New York City & The Hammerstein Ballroom for “Manhattan Mayhem V”!!! Featuring Quarter-Final match-ups in the World Title tournament, a first time ever dream tag match, and a World Tag Team Title Grudge Match, ROHWrestling.com has now confirmed TWO additional matches for the evening’s festivites including one that was first announced via social media over the weekend!
First up,
Scramble Rules Tag Team Match
C&C Wrestle Factory (Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander) vs. Adrenaline RUSH (ACH & Tadarius Thomas)
Two of the most exciting tag teams on the scene right now, C&C and AR will lock horns in a Scramble Rules bout which means no tags are necessary and as soon as one man exits the ring then his partner can enter! In their last two-on-two meeting at “Border Wars 2013” it was C&C who emerged victorious but at “All Star Extravaganza V” in their triple threat bout with The Young Bucks, it was RUSH who picked up the victory when ACH pinned Cedric. With Scramble Rules in effect you know this one will get crazy!
Proving Ground Match
World TV Champion Matt Taven vs. “No Fear” Mike Mondo
***If Mondo either defeats Taven, or lasts the time limit, he will earn a future TV Title bout***
He hasn’t been seen in an ROH ring since just prior to “Border Wars 2013” when he had to pull out of a scheduled Triple Threat bout with Mike Bennett and Roderick Strong due to a training injury. Now, this Saturday at “MM V”, Mike Mondo will make his return to Ring of Honor and will face off with a man with whom he is very familiar: World TV Champion Matt Taven!
The early stages of each man’s ROH career are quite intertwined as Taven & Mondo developed quite a rivalry in the early months of 2012 that culminated in quite a barnburner of a bout on the April 7th edition of “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV. Now that rivalry will be renewed on August 17th when the World TV Champion goes head-to-head with “No Fear” in NYC with Mondo hoping to earn himself a TV Title Match!
We have also been informed that taking up commentary duties for the matches on Saturday night will be Kevin Kelly & the returning Prince Nana! Speaking of Nana, we have also been informed by RD Evans that he and QT Marshall will be in NYC to address the tag team division…
With those two bouts announced, the card for “Manhattan Mayhem V” is complete and here is what we have in store for you THIS Saturday night in New York City!
