Numerous AEW stars wrestled in the recent Ring of Honor event, Final Battle. The show had thirteen matches (including pre-show). However, the Survival of the Fittest match for the ROH World Television Championship was brutal and memorable.
The Survival of the Fittest match for the ROH World Television Title was contested between six individuals: Brian Cage, Willie Mack, Mark Davis, AR Fox, Blake Christian, and Komander. Cage entered this showdown as the champion. However, Komander won the match and became the new ROH World Television Champion. After the event's conclusion, the AEW mainstay revealed some shocking information.
Komander said that he was born premature and almost died twice. He never forgets this, and this is where his fighting spirit stems from. Additionally, the 26-year-old stated that he was never going to give up.
