Ring of Honor has been hyping up a match at ROH Death Before Dishonor between two wrestlers who were recently released by another promotion, and the company has revealed the identities of these competitors.
On the newest episode of ROH Week By Week, Jake Atlas and Taylor Rust were named as the two opponents.
Both men were released by WWE on August 6 during a wave of cuts. At the time, they were both members of the NXT roster.
