GLORY BY HONOR XIII is coming to San Antonio! Every time ROH is in Texas, the crowds are hot and the action proves why we are the absolute best professional wrestling on the planet. This year’s GLORY BY HONOR will be headlined by an ROH World Title match featuring Jay Briscoe defending his championship against hometown Texas favorite ACH! ACH earned this title opportunity after a series of impressive, resilient battles, particularly his endurance during the CHAMPIONS VS ALL STARS eight man tag main event.
And speaking of earning opportunities at gold, one man in Ring of Honor has been amassing a series of victories surpassing any other in Ring of Honor. R.D. Evans is the guardian of #TheNewStreak, which as of this writing stands at 167-0. However, as any streak historian worth her salt would confirm, the most critical marker stands at 173-0. #TheOldStreak remains the absolute pinnacle as far as unbroken victories are concerned – and yet #TheNewStreak is fast approaching this milestone.
According to Veda Scott, the machine behind #TheNewStreak prides itself on subtlety and humility in the face of success…but with such an historical moment fast approaching, excitement tends to build and occasionally one must indulge in a bit of back patting. R.D. Evans has taken to social media, tweeting several updates on the potential he has to defeat #TheOldStreak and pointing out that ROH Head Matchmaker doesn’t seem to be nearly as thrilled about this as he should be. Evans insists that his impending (and according to Evans and his camp, inevitable) victory ought to be celebrated and that he deserves a shot at some ROH gold.
When Nigel heard that, he immediately stated he wanted R.D. to “put his money where his mouth is” and set up a match for him in San Antonio at GLORY BY HONOR XIII! R.D. Evans will finally get a title shot when he takes on ROH World Television Champion JAY LETHAL on November 15th. It’s going to be Title vs. Streak!
Granted, most recently R.D. Evans has been competing in the ROH tag team scene with his partner, MOOSE. But Veda Scott has been assuring those victories count toward #TheNewStreak and the number just keeps on climbing. Now everything rests on November 15th. GLORY BY HONOR will be an historic night in ROH one way or another. Either R.D. Evans wins his very first title in Ring of Honor and achieves the all-time greatest winning streak in professional wrestling history…or #TheNewStreak finally comes to an end.
