ROH issued the following:
The first match for the inaugural International Cup has been signed and it pits the two highest of flyers in the tournament against one another in the opening round!
INTERNATIONAL CUP QUARTERFINALS
“SUPERBAD” KIP SABIAN vs. FLIP GORDON
Flip Gordon has taken the world by storm, competing in ROH, CMLL, and NJPW rings all in less than one year after signing with Ring of Honor. Gordon’s unique style has seen him rise up the ranks both at home and internationally, winning in ROH rings while also competing in his first Best of Super Juniors Tournament in 2018!
Gordon will face a man making his Ring of Honor debut in Edinburgh, “Superbad” Kip Sabian! Sabian possesses a cross-Atlantic, near-mirror image of Gordon’s offense, both innovative in their own ways. Unlike Gordon’s fast rise to international fame, Sabian, still a young man in his own right, started early and has grinded his way to the top.
These two meet in the Quarterfinals of the inaugural International Cup and the winner will compete two days later in Doncaster in the Semifinals! Who will win this high-flying clash and stake their claim on an international stage?
