ROH WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
JAY LETHAL/Truth Martini vs. MATT SYDAL
When Matt Sydal returned to Ring of Honor, it was after a injury stalled his career and put him on the sidelines for months. There were whispers and rumors that Sydal had lost a step. That he wouldn't be the athlete he once was. That he couldn't keep up with the "new" ROH. Well, all those doubt were blasted away with one Shooting Star Press, proving that Matt Sydal is REBORN and ready to take on absolutely anyone in Ring of Honor.
But it's not just the fans who have had their eyes on Matt Sydal. Recently, it's clear someone else has been watching: Truth Martini. Never without his Book of Truth, Martini has evidenced himself a keen scout for talent. He is a manager of champions. Indeed, he is currently guiding ROH TV Champion Jay Lethal to unprecedented success in Ring of Honor.
And – it seemed – Truth Martini had taken an interest in Matt Sydal. We'd seen this before, when Martini convinced Matt Taven to accept his managerial expertise. A few whispered words and Martini evidentially made Taven an offer he couldn't refuse. Suddenly, Matt Taven was TV Champion. He was a fixture in ROH. A star. There's proof in The House of Truth when it comes to success and prestige.
But every Truth Martini offer comes with a price. He and his associates are not above resorting to the cheapest of tactics to stay on top. Would Matt Sydal be swayed in that direction to ensure his success after returning to ROH? Nobody knew for sure. However, it seems we got our answer on the latest episode of ROH TV.
Right now on ROH TV, Jay Lethal defends his TV Title in an absolutely must-see rematch against ACH! And Matt Sydal stepped into the commentary booth. After this incredible match, Sydal stepped into the ring. He offered Truth Martini a handshake. Was this the confirmation that Sydal had been swayed toward The House of Truth?
The answer to that is a very emphatic NO. Sydal pulled away and pointed at what he REALLY wants. Not The House of Truth…Matt Sydal wants the ROH Television Championship! But he's going to have to beat the man many point to as the most purely talented pro wrestler on the planet, Jay Lethal. And you better believe that Truth Martini doesn't take this rejection lightly either.
Now it's confirmed for FINAL BATTLE 2014: JAY LETHAL VS. MATT SYDAL! Want to be there in person? You need to get your tickets today by clicking right HERE ! If for some reason you can't be there live, that doesn't mean you have to miss our biggest night of the year! FINAL BATTLE will be broadcast LIVE on PPV!
