Only the strong survive in professional wrestling, and this mentality was especially apparent during the Survival of the Fittest tournament in Ring of Honor.
This past weekend on ROH Wrestling, in the finals of the tournament, Bandido won the ultimate six-man elimination match. Due to this victory, he earned a shot at the ROH World Championship. He’ll get his chance when he challenges RUSH for the title at ROH Best in the World.
