ROH WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
ROH WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPION “THE VILLAIN” MARTY SCURLL vs. DONOVAN DIJAK
“The Villain” made an immediate impact in Ring of Honor, capturing the ROH World Television Championship in his first weekend in the company from Will Ospreay on the Reach for the Sky Tour. In terms of immediate impact, Scurll may have had the biggest, fastest impact in ROH history.
The same can be said about Donovan Dijak.
In 2015, Dijak steamrolled through the ROH Top Prospect Tournament and exuded his dominance alongside then-World Champion Jay Lethal in the House of Truth. Dijak quickly became one of the most formidable singles stars in the world, picking up major victories at a rapid pace.
Following a successful defense of the ROH World Television Championship over Juice Robinson at Center Stage in Atlanta, Scurll claimed he had defeated all ROH had to offer. The Motor City Machine Guns, Lio Rush, Johnathan Gresham, Jay White, and Donovan Dijak all stepped up to the challenge. The six were given a bout to air on ROH television to determine the number one contender and Dijak emerged victorious.
Dijak heads to Pittsburgh with an opportunity to capture his first-ever ROH championship but standing across the ring will be a finger-snapping, chicken-winger that has systematically defeated every international star ROH has put in front of him. But, with a size, strength, power, and, arguably, explosiveness advantage, Dijak has to like his chances to leave the Steel City with gold around his waist!
Scurll will have to out-smart and out-wrestle Dijak in order to retain the championship. Who will leave Pittsburgh as ROH World Television champion?
