Shane Taylor will be on the sidelines for the foreseeable future after suffering an injury at ROH Death Before Dishonor 2024. The unfortunate news was shared by Tony Schiavone and came after Taylor competed in a Survival of the Fittest match for the ROH TV Championship. The match saw Atlantis retain the title against Taylor, Brian Cage, Lee Johnson, Johnny TV, and Lio Rush.

Despite this injury, Lee’s tag-team partner Brian Cage was still in action during the latest AEW Collision. The Machine teamed with Lee Moriarty, who won the ROH Pure Championship at Death Before Dishonor.

This November will mark a decade since Taylor debuted for Ring of Honor. In December 2022, Taylor returned to the promotion, now under the ownership of Tony Khan. Over his time with the company, he has held the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Titles (with Kaun and Moses) and the ROH World Television Championship.

We here at SE Scoops would like to wish Taylor a speedy recovery. Keep tuned in to SE Scoops for all the goings on in the world of Ring of Honor.

Shane Taylor isn’t picking up what Kevin Nash was laying down for him, and ‘Big Sexy’ wasn’t about to let the AEW star off the hook.

On the recent episodes of the “Kliq This Podcast” Nash has been forthright in his thoughts regarding the pros and cons of AEW. A name included in that was Taylor, whom Nash initially didn’t know the name of. Because of that, Nash at first called him the “pear-shaped guy,” spoke about Taylor’s physique and him losing to Orange Cassidy via an Orange Crush punch.

Weeks ago, Taylor responded on X, stating, “Criticism is part of the game. Comes with the territory. I appreciate the critique Kevin Nash. You have open invitation Hyena Muay Thai in Houston to train & spar with me as many rounds as you’d like. Looking forward to discussing my shape & my name with you in person OG.”

The following episode of “Kliq This” Nash responded, stating that the situation is lose-lose for Taylor because if a 64-year old man could spar with him, he’d have his job and he also wouldn’t job to Orange Cassidy. Instead, Nash challenged Taylor to a body-building match six months down the road. Nash did praise Taylor for his on screen presence and gave further critique to his match with Cassidy.

This week, Taylor responded on X.

“Aight now, Kevin Nash. 6 months from now you’ll see a different S.T. 

“Following YOUR superb example, I’ll also put a [needle] in my ass, [drink] myself stupid & let my EGO & greed destroy a company & cost my peers their jobs.

Nash replied to Taylor on Wednesday night, addressing Shane’s accusations regarding his own past.

“I’d actually be happy if you had blood work done. Funny I got my push in the WWF because I was the biggest guy clean. Have never flunked a test for steroids and no longer drink. The “I’m a mark” statement of shutting down a company……I also caused the sale of the Braves, Hawks and Thrashers? Obviously the most influential person in our industry.”

ROH star Shane Taylor spoke to the Battleground podcast ahead of his Final Battle match against Kenny King.

The Ring of Honor star discussed several topics during the interview, including how he plans on facing major Champions outside of the company going forward.

“I make no bones about it that I see myself as a world champion of any company” Taylor began. “As it stands currently, Hangman Page, Moose, Hammerstone, Shingo Takagi, somebody, somewhere is going to lose their spot. 

“I’m telling you right now. The next few weeks, enjoy the time that you have with your championship, enjoy your time at the top of the ladder, enjoy your time on the throne because in a few weeks, I’m coming to take it all from you” Taylor continued. 

“I forgot one. Will Ospreay. I can’t disrespect my guy like that because like he’s been saying, he’s the real IWGP World Champion, so I would be disrespecting him if I didn’t mention his name as well” the ROH star concluded.
