This was taken from ROH's Myspace blog.

Something has been eating away at Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin, The Motor City Machine Guns, since ROH's "Good Times, Great Memories" event last year. They lost a classic to Jay & Mark Briscoe on that show that ended up at the top of many match of the year polls. That loss has been haunting them. Now they are set to return to ROH to try to even the score.

Shelley & Sabin are signed for ROH's April 18th Detroit and April 19th Chicago cards. Right now, they are only scheduled for those events. They have issued a challenge to The Briscoes. We will find out Jay & Mark's answer next week.

The Motor City Machine Guns are regarded as one of the elite teams in the entire wrestling industry. ROH's tag team scene is red hot. Shelley & Sabin want to conquer the world. They know that in order to do that they have to beat ROH's best teams. Things are going to get very interesting in Detroit and Chicago. Tickets are on sale for both shows at ROHwrestling.com, Tickets.com or by calling 215-781-2500. Stay tuned for more news on the surprising return of Shelley & Sabin.

With the PPV deal wrapping up for ROH, I hope this means that we might see some of the TNA talent that worked ROH in the past compete there again. And I'm already looking forward to a rematch between The Briscoes and The Guns. I doubt it will top the match they had last year, but they can try.

Edit: So much for the PPV deal wrapping up >_>

This came from Gabe Sapolsky:

The PPV deal is not dead. There is no Samoa Joe coming. Take the announcement for what it is. Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin are coming back to ROH for one weekend. There is no other underlying things to it. It is a simple deal that was put together very simply and quickly. That is all. Stop speculating and enjoy it for what it is, which is exactly what it appears to be on the surface. Shelley & Sabin are coming to Detroit and Chicago.

HELL YEA. Already got my tickets! I wonder what matches they will be involved in. A few possibilities

1) MCMG vs Briscoes
2) MCMG Ultimate Endurance
3) Singles Matches
4) MCMG vs Steenerico
5) MCMG vs Rocky/Davey

Awesome news.

Great news. The reason I dont have ROH banners and sigs everywhere anymore, is because I just never felt that they can become a main stream wrestling promotion, but that doesnt mean that their product sucks. I am looking forward to seeing the MCMG put on a classic with the Briscoes possibly and I know Sapolsky doesnt want to start any rumors, but with the MCMG making an appearance with Ring Of Honor, and their current heat with TNA management...could we be seeing the end of the MCMG in TNA? And maybe a full time return to ROH?

I'm hoping for a classic match with the Briscoes and/or AOTF, and having them show the video to TNA Management and showing them how things should be done.

im pretty sure Shelly has been quite active in many indies. I would assume TNA thought this would be a good way to promote MCMG and TNA in the process, thus not beef with management.

This might just be an ROH Videowire match, according to TNA's rule contracted talent (in this case, the MCMG) cannot appear on another promotion's DVDs or PPVs.

I am sooo looking foward to them returning to ROH. i hope that they get put on the DVD's if not i will be very pissed at TNA.

Jimmy Jacobs cut a promo challenging Shelley and Sabin and it looks like it will be Jacobs and Black vs The MCMG.

These two teams actually went at it once in Pro Wrestling Guerilla. For those interested in watching that particular match, here's the link.
