Filthy Tom would be a solid surprise replacement. Would be a nice make-good from Tony to him too. Only thing that would be a little awkward is the NKOTB is now basically banned in the Khaniverse?

Filthy Tom has improved a lot in the last few years but him as the replacement main event challenger on the ROH PPV would make me not want to bother to drive down to Jersey. Going from Mark Briscoe to a New Japan Strong mid carder is such a downgrade.

Mark is the heart of RoH, there's literally nobody that could replace him in spirit

one of the Bucks will pin Claudio in Blood and Guts and Tony will use that to finally give us all the Matt Jackson singles PPV main event the world has been clamoring for and we all deserve

The idea that ROH shows are thrown together last minute or promoted on one match is really silly.

DBD's top two promoted matches were Joe vs Lethal and Briscoes vs FTR both of which were promoted for weeks, Joe vs Lethal having a lot of AEW TV build.

Final Battle's top two matches were Jericho vs Claudio which had months of build on AEW TV and Briscoes vs FTR which was announced last minute.

SCOH had three matches which were promoted heavily for weeks in Athena vs Yuka, Claudio vs Kingston and Joe vs Mark.

He's not the most exciting choice because he does so many shindies that the Minoru Suzuki dream match doesn't mean as much, but it's definitely a safe choice for someone with star power. Would be fun if they did some comedy.

But the ideal would be Hiromu though. He's not in the G1 so unless he has some outside date he's perfect. He has the fan base, he's a great style match for Claudio and I think they'd be ok with him losing to a heavyweight champion. Especially if Tony had Yuta go back and return the job in a junior title match or something.

Yeah Hiromu actually would be the best cause and they can do Yuta/Hiromu as the main event of the All JR showcase too

To be fair, I think Athena/Yuka WAS officially announced last minute but everyone assumed it was happening because seeds were planted like a month before the show. I remember people on twitter complaining about it not being announced earlier when we all knew it was going to happen anyway.

Just because stuff hasn't been announced doesn't mean it's not happening or an afterthought. They have been building Garcia/Shibata for months and Willow/Athena is pretty clearly waiting for an announcement too.The only thing that I'm surprised got no build is the tag titles.

If that is true that rules. I didn't get to see Thursday's show yet. (But even if they've address it the champions have been kind of absent from the build.)

This PPV has been a big skip for me so far because it just hasn't been built much and doesn't feel like there's a lot of excitement around it, but this might be the match that gets me to buy it.

This is kind of my assumption. Athena drops the ROH, maybe beats whatever babyface who will eventually dethrone Toni, loses to Stat, then comes back to challenge the babyface she beat to win the World Title.
