The day after Glory By Honor a short press conference would take place featuring Jeff Jarret and Simon Diamond (Head of Talent Relations). It would be confirmed that there would be two more live events to finish out the year with both of them taking place in Pittsburgh at the Printscape Arena. The first being 'Champions Extravaganza' in November and then 'Final Battle' in December.

Three matches have already been confirmed for the the next show. Mercedes Martinez who was forced to vacate her NWA title, has been rewarded for her loyalty to Ring of Honor as she will be the first person who will challenge inaugural ROH Women's Champion Alison Danger for the title. There will be another title defense as the first ROH World Champion Ronn Killings will take on Jerry Lynn - who has been confirmed to have been given the shot following him winning the Scramble Match at the pay per view. The final announced match will also be Satoshi Kojima's last confirmed match for Ring of Honor before returning to Japan full time. The three time IWGP Tag Team Champion has personally requested to face Low Ki in a Special Singles Match and was quoted that "this is a man who will one day become a multiple world champion". It is also believed that Kojima has given high praise of Ring of Honor to New Japan management and their is hopes a relationship of some sort could form in the near future.

The major news revealed by Jeff Jarrett would be that Ring of Honor had secured a one hour weekly time slot on Spike TV (rebranded from The Nashville Network TNN) on a Thursday Night with the show to be branded as 'Honor 101'. It would be confirmed that episodes would be filmed ahead of time in four hour filming blocks at monthly live shows exclusively filmed at the Murphy Recreation Center (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) that was going to be repackaged as 'The 101'. And that the first episodes would air in January of the new year. Jarrett would add that moving forward Ring of Honor was looking to work towards a five pay per view per year schedule with events planned for February, April, July, October & December. ​

ROH is moving fast in this timeline, cool. The three matches announced for champions extravaganza sound good so far. Expect Danger and Killings to retain, and Kojima to do the job and do the job for Low Ki before moving on.

Implementing a weekly show so soon is something I didn't expect at all. I understand from a booking perspective though, allowing you to build angles over time through more traditional methods.

Looking forward to what's next.
