After the events of Blood & Guts, it was pretty clear that AEW was fast-tracking a story between Claudio Castagnoli and PAC to duke it out for the ROH World Championship at Death Before Dishonor on Friday, July 21. That match is now official as the PPV main event.
During Blood & Guts, Claudio accidentally collided with force into PAC when Kenny Omega sidestepped. PAC took it personal and abandoned the Blackpool Combat Club to exit the match.
Backstage, Claudio searched for the Bastard. He didn’t want to wait until next week’s Dynamite to fight. Claudio proposed that PAC step up to fill in for the injured Mark Briscoe at Death Before Dishonor. On a different side of the venue, PAC spoke his piece to accept the world title bout. The Bastard plans to hurt, embarrass, and take the championship from Claudio. PAC spiced it up with curse words.
