The way things are looking they want Black to be the main face of ROH while Aries is the big heel Champ, pretty much Black the new Danielson and Aries what Nigel was when he was champ, thats the way it looks to me with the way theyve been booked.
I think Roderick will step up and maybe then he will get his well deserved title run, his matches are always awesome imo, maybe if he was given a different character or if they improved his character and helped hismic work a little he would be more deserving of a title run but his inring work should be enough to get that.
Another guy I think will step up and already has started is Kenny Omega, he's become pretty popular and has put on some good matches, he could be a major guy in ROH next year. Chris Hero already has kind of stepped up, now ROH need to book him well and he should be the face of ROH, I could see him being Champ sometime next year too which would own.
I'd also like some new challengers for next year, lately its been the same old guys going for the belt (BLACK), I think some new signings could freshen things up, definitely go bring Spanky back to ROH along with London but not as a team, bring Petey Williams in more but also bring in the likes of Ken Doane, Chuck Taylor, Quack, more PWG/Chikara guys, would be good. Also keep bringing in the good tag teams as they have been.
