Ring of Honor has been in a race to sign talent ever since The Elite left them to start All Elite Wrestling. ROH has bounced back nicely with signings like PCO and Rush, and now they’ve added another name to the mix.
PJ Black, who was known as Justin Gabriel in WWE, has signed an exclusive deal with the company. ROH interviewed Black, who said the following to their website:
“I chose ROH over the other companies because the hybrid style that fans seem to enjoy most these days, I started. In Africa, we didn’t have a specific style. At a young age, I traveled to the UK to learn the British style and combined that with lucha and some strong style, creating my own hybrid style, which is what everyone these days seem to follow.
I’m here to bring back honor, grace, style, athleticism, sportsmanship, and entertainment to Ring of Honor. Sometimes I’m a bit fast for mass appeal, but I’m a team player as long as everyone follows my lead. I’m the change this company and this business needs and wants.”
It will be interesting to see how the former Nexus member fares in ROH.
