Read the full blog at ROHWrestling.com. -The La Faccion Ingobernable faction of Rush, Dragon Lee, Kenny King, and Bestia del Ring have been suspended for the month of May for (storyline) rules violations. Rush will address his suspension on Tuesday’s ROH Week By Week on YouTube. -This weekend’s ROH Wrestling television show features Quinn McKay vs. Angelina Love.

The historic season of the ABC dating show, with James as the franchise s first Black Bachelor, devolved into controversy after Kirkconnell s previous racist behavior came to light and backlash swirled. Kirkconnell, who eventually received the final rose in March s season finale, apologized and James told Wall Street Journal Magazine that he s ready to give their relationship a second chance and that the couple is back on. In an interview published Thursday, James said it s unfair for him to leave Kirkconnell while she tries to be better. “It’s on people who care about being allies to do the work to be truly antiracist and I think it’s unfair to leave people without the ability to unlearn and be better,” he said.
Tony Deppen is the new Ring of Honor Television Champion. Deppen defeated Tracy Williams to capture the title for the first time on Ring of Honor television, which aired this weekend in syndication.

Deppen confirmed the title win on Twitter, noting that despite winning the TV title, he currently isn’t signed to Ring of Honor. “For everyone that told me I’d never get anywhere: f off,” he wrote. “To all the people that Always put their neck out for me to help me get in front of new eyes: im gonna continue to bust my ass because y’all Always believed in me. Oh. Still not signed. This belt is mine now.”

Hours after teasing an appearance on Twitter, the former WWE star appeared at Federacion Wrestling’s inaugural press conference to officially announce his participation with the promotion. The presence of Andrade will be felt immediately, as he will headline Federacion’s first show, on June 19, teaming with Los Ingobernables teammate Rush, Bestia del Ring and a mystery partner to wrestle ROH stars Matt Taven, PJ Black and two mystery partners. Taven also appeared, via video, to cut a promo hyping the match. Federacion Wrestling has caused quite a stir this past week, with the participation of ROH talent like Rush, Bestia, Bandido, Dragon Lee, Rey Horus, Kenny King and Taven leading to lucha libre promotion CMLL cutting ties with ROH.
Andrade Heading To Federacion Wrestling Press Conference? (Photo Credit: WWE) Andrade is on the move. The former WWE and CMLL star took to Twitter earlier today to reveal he is flying out of his home in Orlando. “El Rey is on the move! I can go wherever I want,” Andrade tweeted, while listing he was flying out of the Orlando International Airport. He offered no further details. Later this afternoon will be the inaugural press conference for the newly formed Federacion Wrestling promotion out of Mexico. The promotion, who’s owner has yet to be revealed, has made waves in announcing ROH stars Bandido, Bestia del Ring, Dragon Lee, Kenny King, Matt Taven, Rey Horus and ROH World Champion Rush as part of the roster. AEW stars Penta El Zero M and Rey Fenix have also been announced as affiliated with the group.
It was reported earlier this week, CMLL ended its partnership with Ring of Honor, which had been going since 2016. According to the latest the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, this was due to ROH wrestlers working the debut show for Federacion Wrestling in Mexico this June. This includes Rush, Dragon Lee, Bandido, Matt Taven, Bestia del Ring, Rey Horus and Kenny King. However, it’s believed that ROH wasn’t involved in the booking, but that Rush convinced them to appear. There are rumors that ROH officials found out about the end of their partnership with CMLL by reading it on social media but were “caught off guard.” However, ROH boss Joe Koff said this wasn’t the case and they spoke about it ahead of time.

The importance of the memorable evening is not lost on the veteran. “It’s an unreal feeling in a way. Almost totally unheard of to do in not only Ring of Honor but wrestling,” Williams said. “To have that under my belt so to speak is very cool. It means a lot to be put out there and have two title matches in one night. It does show a certain amount of trust, which is not something to be taken lightly.
