It could have been the one head-to-head match between the 2, as effectively their very first assembly in any kind, nevertheless it was removed from their final encounter. The next 12 months, with Taven standing alongside Adam Cole, Mike Bennett, and Maria as the unique Kingdom, they started a rivalry that endured past FINAL BATTLE 2021: END OF AN ERA and into their mutual arrivals on the All Elite Wrestling panorama.

That is one-on-one, that is for the largest prize in Ring of Honor, and as already talked about, the final time Mark Briscoe and Matt Taven did this one-on-one dance with a title on the road, it was Taven who walked away nonetheless World TV Champion.
