May 14th: A very surprising ROH World Tag Team Title Match has been signed for June 9th in Philadelphia. Claudio Castagnoli has been granted a rematch from last Saturday's show stealing World Tag Team Title Match vs. Jay & Mark Briscoe. Castagnoli can once again pick anyone in the locker room that he wants as his partner. Castagnoli has revealed his choice and it is his former ROH World Tag Team Championship partner Chris Hero!!! Hero has split from Castagnoli after signing with super agent Larry Sweeney. Now Hero will reunite the team to go after the titles. Here is the most interesting part. Since these teams have split their previous two encounters last December, this one will determine a decisive winner of the series. This World Tag Team Title contest will be 2/3 Falls!!! Check out Briscoes vs. Hero & Castagnoli in a 2/3 Falls Match for the ROH World Tag Team Titles on June 9th in Philadelphia. We'll have more big matches to announce for this event this week in the ROHwrestling.com Newswire.
