Kenny Omega, PAC and Orange Cassidy will have a triple threat at Double or Nothing. Originally Omega was supposed to face the winner of PAC vs. Orange Cassidy in a AEW world title defense, but Orange Cassidy got a legit concussion on a Liger bomb from PAC, and AEW called an audible by sending Omega out to attack PAC for a no contest. Omega now winds up facing both men at the pay per view as a result. Cassidy is "okay" despite the injury. (AEW) According to Dave Meltzer a three way was the plan all along away and they were supposed to go to a 20 minute draw before the injury occured. (WO)

Shane Taylor wants matches with people outside ROH: "I've made no secret that if something were to present itself that helped Ring of Honor, I'd be all for it. A lot of times, we've done stuff like that in the past and it hasn't helped. It actually hurt more than it helped. With the work we've been putting in with the performances, matches, and effort; I think anything that doesn't help that is a disservice to all the work people have put in. If it does, then it makes sense. We have a whole roster full of people waiting to showcase what they can do. My thing would be let's go with the people that brought us here. Why change what brought us to the dance?' Taylor said on JOFO In The Ring. 'If it helps, great. I'm sure he has a lot of options. There is the RUSH connection. My job is to have me and my guys prepared for whatever. If he wants to walk his ass into ROH, I'll tell him like I've told everyone else; this is our house. I would love to have a one-on-one match with Matt Taven, Kazuchika Okada, Jon Moxley, Kenny Omega, all of these guys that are top stars. I'm the baddest of all-time for a reason. Unless you do it against me, I'm not impressed. They've all had great careers, but what they've done against others doesn't concern me. I need them to prove it to me."

Sammy Guevara says he has no heat with Impact Wrestling: "You know a lot of stuff was said, but it's just business at the end of the day. I know I didn't really say nothing out there, and all this stuff reports that came out was only coming from one side. Some of it wasn't true, I really don't want to comment too much on it. It was what it was, and I still wish everyone the best. We're all friends and we're just all trying to succeed at the end of the day."

Fabricio Werdum's loss at PFL 3 has been overturned to a no contest after the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board determined that his opponent tapped out and the referee missed the submission. Here's a clip of the bout where Keith Peterson blew the call.

An uncofirmed report is not usually the type of thing I share, but this tweet suggesting that Bray Wyatt (Windham Rotunda) is struggling with the death of Luke Harper (Jon Huber) and that the WrestleMania 37 finish was changed so he could take time off has the air of truth to it, given we haven't seen him on TV since.

From WWE.

205 Live is set to play host to a pair of intriguing "old guard vs. new guard" matchups this week, as Asher Hale is primed to throw down with Ariya Daivari, while Ari Sterling will tangle with Tony Nese.

In a potentially volatile clash, Hale will debut on the purple brand against the self-proclaimed "205 Live OG."

If his past actions are any indication, Daivari Dinero is certain to hold the newcomer in contempt, as he and Nese have joined forces over the last several months with the main purpose of making life as difficult as possible for rookies.

Hale has been competing on the independent scene for several years, but he's ready to take on the best Cruiserweights in the world and is looking to call 205 Live his new home.

Speaking of newcomers, Sterling dazzled the WWE Universe during his debut match against Samir Singh last week, blitzing the former 24/7 Champion with a dizzying arsenal and taking to the skies on several occasions to earn the win.

Sterling has every intention of going 2-0 on the purple brand, but to accomplish his goal, he'll have to knock off a decorated veteran and former Cruiserweight Champion in Nese, who dislikes rookies every bit as much as his partner does.

Don't miss an amazing edition of 205 Live, streaming Friday at 10/9 C on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else!

MIRANDA ALIZE AND TRISH ADORA EARN TICKETS TO GOLD

Miranda Alize got her hand raised over Trish Adora in this week's Women's Division Wednesday Match, but it turns out there were two winners.

After the match aired on YouTube, ROH Board of Directors member Maria Kanellis-Bennett informed Alize and Adora in separate Zoom calls that they had earned a "ticket to gold" to compete in the ROH Women's World Title Tournament this summer.

"I'm super impressed with both ladies," Kanellis-Bennett said. "Two completely different styles of wrestler, but both equally as passionate."

Alize had been scheduled to compete in the tournament last year before it was cancelled due to the pandemic.

"This whole Covid thing has really stopped a lot of stuff that I had planned, and I was just waiting so long to hear something because ROH was something that I was looking forward to for so long," Alize said. "I'm so grateful for the opportunity."

An eight-year pro, Alize has wrestled extensively in Mexico and competed for Stardom in Japan. "The Lucha Baddie" has worked for a number of U.S. promotions, including Shimmer and Booker T's Reality of Wrestling, participated in the first Mae Young Classic and competed in the UK.

Adora is the Pan Afrikan World Diaspora Champion, a title she defends all over the world. An Army veteran and a five-year pro, "The Afro-Punk" has trained at the Team 3D Academy and also with Jonathan Gresham and The World Famous CB.

"I'm honored to hopefully be able to set the standard for women wrestlers everywhere," Adora said.

Alize and Adora join Rok-C as "ticket to gold" recipients. Angelina Love also is in the tournament. The seven-time former world champion earned a first-round bye with her win over Quinn McKay on last weekend's "Ring of Honor Wrestling."
