One year after first arriving in the promotion, Slex has signed a new contract with Ring of Honor.
It was announced on Thursday that Slex has re-signed with ROH. Slex, who is from Melbourne, Australia, hasn’t been able to wrestle for ROH since February of last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ROH stated that they remain committed to Slex and the rest of their international talent.
Slex had been set to face Jeff Cobb at ROH’s 18th Anniversary last March, but that event was canceled due to the pandemic. Cobb was replacing Adam Brooks in that match. Brooks is also from Australia and had been pulled from the 18th Anniversary PPV due to travel issues prior to it being canceled.
Slex made his ROH debut against Flip Gordon last February and has had three matches for ROH in total.
Here’s ROH’s full announcement regarding Slex’s new contract:
