Dragon Lee, who is the reigning Ring of Honor Television Champion and one half of the ROH Tag Team Champions with Kenny King, suffered a broken eardrum and is off Friday’s 19th Anniversary pay-per-view.
On Thursday’s Week by Week show on YouTube, Quinn McKay said Lee had undergone minor surgery last week and is unable to fly. She didn’t specify what the injury was.
Lee was set to defend the TV title against Tracy Williams, but now King will defend the title on Lee’s behalf. If King wins, Lee remains the champion.
Lee was set to do double-duty as he and King (part of La Faccion Ingobernable) were to defend their Tag Team titles against Williams & Rhett Titus. That match is still on, but Bestia del Ring (Lee’s father) will replace Lee in that spot instead.
The new card for this Friday’s taped show is as follows:
ROH World Champion Rush defends against Jay Lethal
