ROH World Tag Titles Vacated!

How will new champions be crowned?

Due to the unfortunate departure of Kenny King, one half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions, The All Night Express has been officially stripped of the ROH World Tag Team Titles, thus rendering the championship titles officially VACANT.

As a result ROH officials have determined that there will be an 8 Team Tag Tournament beginning on August 3rd in Baltimore at The Du Burns Arena with the entire opening round of matches being featured at the “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV Tapings.

ROH officials have also determined that the tournaments semi-finals and finals will take place at a later date. With that being said, ROHWrestling.com was also informed that the first team entered into the field will be:

The 7-Time Former ROH World Tag Team Champions Jay & Mark Briscoe!!

* More New X Division Talent To TNA, Power Struggle Behind The Scenes

As previously reported, Ring of Honor sent out a statement saying that ROH tag champion Kenny King had violated their agreement by appearing on Thursday’s episode of Impact Wrestling.

Kenny King was reportedly supposed to sign a contract extension with ROH several months while working on a new deal with the company. After verbally agreeing to sign an extension with ROH, he flew to Orlando and wrestled for TNA on Thursday night.

King has a young daughter and needs to make money for his family, so many people in ROH are happy for him that he’s getting a chance to work more. However, there’s also a feeling that he left ROH and his tag team partner Rhett Titus in a bad spot by leaving without giving the company sufficient notice and dropping the ROH Tag Team Titles.
