ROH Wrestling sent out the following today:
Ring of Honor
officials are excited to announce that they have come to terms with
Davey Richards and that the current ROH World Champion has agreed to
extend his existing contract.
Richards, who captured the ROH
World Title from Eddie Edwards at "Best in the World 2011", has been a
part of Ring of Honor since 2006 and, in addition to reigning as the
current World Champion, is also a 2-Time ROH World Tag Champion
alongside first, Rocky Romero, and then Edwards.
Ring of Honor is
fortunate to have a competitor as gifted as Davey Richards as part of
the fold." Said Jim Cornette, "As World Champion, Richards is a fine
representative of what ROH is all about, especially as we head into the
Sinclair Broadcasting era this weekend in Chicago Ridge!"
Richards
is set to defend the ROH World Title against former champion Roderick
Strong this Saturday night, August 13th, when we return to Chicago Ridge
for our very first SBG TV Tapings! Tickets for this event can be
purchased right here in the ROH Store and check out the video embedded
below for Davey's thoughts as we begin this new phase for Ring of Honor
