Ring of Honor made a few announcements over the weekend about his roster, with two wrestlers signing new agreements and one new competitor signing.
Cheeseburger has signed a new contract with the company. Cheeseburger debuted with ROH back in 2013 and has also worked as a trainer at the ROH Dojo. ROH tweeted, “Cheeseburger has officially signed a new ROH contract! Cheeseburger has a heart of gold…or cheese? Gold cheese? Erm…anyway… His heart combined with solid wrestling skills & overwhelming support from Honor Nation has made Cheeseburger a successful ROH competitor!”
ROH confirmed on its website that international indie talent Adam Brooks has signed with ROH. “Adam Brooks is the latest acclaimed international star to sign with Ring of Honor. The Melbourne, Australia native has never competed in an ROH ring in the U.S., but he has wrestled a number of ROH stars around the globe, including Matt Taven, Marty Scurll, Dragon Lee, Bandido, Mark Haskins and Brody King. In Brooks’ lone match for ROH, he faced then-ROH World Champion Jay Lethal in a Proving Ground Match in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2018. Brooks is the current Melbourne City Wrestling Heavyweight Champion, a title he won from fellow countryman Slex.”
During ROH’s Free Enterprise, Shane Taylor announced that he has re-signed with Ring of Honor. Taylor revealed his status with the company after he attacked Slex. He went on Twitter and revealed his contract involves a guaranteed ROH World Championship shot as well as a guaranteed shot at the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship.

Impact Wrestling will bring back the TNA name for a special event as they host a TNA-themed show for WrestleCon 2020, which takes place during WWE’s WrestleMania 36 Week in the Tampa, Florida area. The Impact TNA event will take place on Friday, April 3 in Ybor City, Florida at The Ritz. It will air live on Fite TV at 7 pm ET.
