The match was made official earlier in the week but the status of the ROH World Title was unknown. The match will now be for the original ROH World Title. The belt was held by Ring of Honor legends such as <strong>Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe, Nigel McGuiness,<\/strong> and many others.<\/p>\n<p>The two <strong>Foundation<\/strong> stablemates have been at odds ever since Lethal was caught on camera saying negative things about The Foundation. The two have faced off in the past, most recently at ROH TV #500. Gresham got the win that night, retaining his Pure Title in the process. Lethal has been dubbed &#8220;The Franchise&#8221; of Ring of Honor for his many years of dedication to the promotion.<\/p>\n<p>One will come out of Final Battle as the final ROH World Champion of this iteration of Ring of Honor. This promises to be another technical clinic between the two veterans.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to Last Word on Sports for more\u00a0<em>Final Battle<\/em>\u00a0updates as they become available.<\/p>\n<p><em>To see where you can watch ROH on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/tv-listings\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TV<\/a>\u00a0or see the latest episode of\u00a0ROH TV\u00a0click\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/watch\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.
