With Death Before Dishonor less than a week away, the battlegrounds were clearly set this week on ROH TV. Check out this week’s ROH TV Power Rankings to see which of the promotion’s stars are set for huge performances at the next PPV.
5: Jay White: How many people can say they’ve gotten this much of a push at the start of their ROH careers? Arms with a cool finish and an awesome look, White has that Adrian Neville thing going on and if he keeps it up, he’ll definitely be in the WWE in a few years.
4: The Young Bucks: Their win over Roppongi Vice this week assures them a shot at the ROH Tag Team titles, but they’ll need more than a few Super Kicks to take down Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian. However, with the help of Hangman Page, they may have what it takes to steal the gold.
3: The Addiction: Kazarian and Daniels are an amazing team, a pair of heels that you laugh with and root for. But does that mean they can take down the Bullet Club’s elite tag team? It’s going to be a war.
2: Adam Cole: Not even during his prior run as ROH Champion did Cole have momentum like this. If he was ever going to try and cash in on that push, now would be the perfect time.
1: Jay Lethal: Not many can say they’ve gotten the run Lethal has over the past year and change and although Cole is a worthy challenger, it appears the only way Lethal can lose the ROH World Title is if he’s screwed out of it. And even if that is the case, he’ll still be a legend in the promotion.
