What’s the story?

In case you didn’t know…

He is the former leader of the Bullet Club, now affectionately called The Elite along with The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega and Marty Scrull. He is a former ROH World Heavyweight Champion, and a former ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champion (with The Young Bucks). He is also a former NWA World Heavyweight Champion, and the current IWGP United States Champion for New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW).
The heart of the matter
Cody Rhodes made the announcement on his Twitter page earlier this afternoon that he will be wrestling Jay Lethal for the ROH World Heavyweight Championship on December 14th 2018 at ROH “Final Battle”. Ironically, this could very well be (symbolically) Cody’s final battle with Ring of Honor wrestling.
After this match, Cody is set to become a free agent and vows to take the ROH World Championship into free agency with him. Cody Rhodes wrestled Jay Lethal in his debut match for Ring of Honor back on December 2nd 2016 at “Final Battle” 2016, defeating Jay Lethal with a low blow, turning heel in the process.
What’s next
As mentioned above, Cody Rhodes will be facing Jay Lethal at ROH Final Battle which will take place on December 14th 2018 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York. The event will be available for free for all Honor Club members. Also, the show will be available on FITE TV at a price of $34.99.
