Tony Khan Announces That Popular Star Is Injured, Out Of ROH Death

Tony Khan made the unfortunate announcement that AEW and ROH star Dalton Castle will be out of action for the rest of 2024. Castle wrestled Roderick Strong during last weekend’s “AEW Collision,” with the winner earning an opportunity at Mark Briscoe’s ROH World Championship at Death Before Dishonor this coming Friday.
