This is the first pay-per-view since the company returned to airing weekly episodes five weeks ago, so most of the matches on the card can take advantage of having been built up enough to drum up some interest. Every title will be defended, along with a few loaners from AAA and NJPW. [more inside]

It has been one strange year for Ring Of Honor, after a very real possibility that the company would dissolve in 2021. Rescued from the scrap heap by Tony Khan, integrating ROH talent with the All Elite Wrestling roster, today ROH will put on the first Final Battle under the new ownership with every title on the line.
