‘The Titan’ Adam Scherr made a surprise appearance at the ROH Final Battle event and he apparently joined a new faction led by EC3.
One of the matches on the show saw Brody King, Homicide, Rocky Romero and Tony Deppen defeating Eli Isom, Taylor Rust, Tracy Williams & EC3.
After the bout was over, EC3 picked up the mic and cut a promo on ROH management. He claimed that there is no honor in this.
EC3 discussed how he has previously suffered the humiliation of being fired. At one point, Brian Johnson came out and got in the former WWE star’s face.
3 claimed that he wants the people in the ring to join him for freedom. He then told Johnson to ‘free the titan.’
The former Braun Strowman made his way to the ring to the shock of the fans. The star real name Adam Scherr cleared the ring of the other competitors of the match.
EC3 announced that this wasn’t an invasion and it’s an awakening. Strowman then chokeslamed Eli Isom to the mat as ROH fans chanted.
The segment ended with Adam Scherr, EC3 and two other stars standing tall in the ring. EC3 told the people that they had been warned.
ROH World Champion Bandido will not be competing at Final Battle.
Ring of Honor is set to hold its final event before going on hiatus. The event will be taking place on Dec. 11 in Baltimore, Maryland. The company will then be going dark but hopes to make its return in April.
Bandido Missing Final Battle
ROH has announced that Bandido will not be taking part in Final Battle as he has tested positive for COVID-19.
“Unfortunately, ROH World Champion Bandido returned a positive result on his most recent Covid Testing and will not be present at Final Battle this Saturday, December 11th in Baltimore.
“Thank you for continuously supporting Ring of Honor through it all and we appreciate your understanding that safety and health of our talents, staff and fans are our top priorities.
“Stay tuned for match updates regarding Final Battle 2021 as we commemorate the history-making era that is coming to an end.”
With the news, Bandido is essentially done with ROH. The company will be releasing all of its on-air talent during the hiatus. We’ve already seen Jay Lethal get out of his contract early and make the jump to AEW.
Time will tell what’s next for Bandido. He has competed for the likes of NJPW and AAA in the past. Bandido even competed for the AAA Mega Championship recently. He made his exit from CMLL earlier this year.
Ring of Honor (ROH) has released their most recent pay-per-view, Final Battle, for free. The promotion has uploaded the entire show, including the pre-show matches, to YouTube giving fans and those curious about the company an opportunity to see what ROH is capable of delivering.

They then compete in the Four Corner Survival Match for the title in June that was won by Jay Lethal and also included Cody. Fast forward to the final stop on the Global Wars tour in Buffalo, N.Y., this past Sunday, Taven challenged Castle to this match at Final Battle.
