Christian vs. Gresham is the first match announced for The Wrld On GCW. As seen below, GCW released a video with Christian saying the match isn't about the ROH World Title, but about being accepted as one of the best in the world.

Christian also tweeted on the match and wrote, "This is more than the @ringofhonor world championship. It's about recognition, acceptance, acknowledgment. At the Hammerstein the whole word finds out.

Gresham defeated Jay Lethal to win the vacant ROH World Title at the Final Battle pay-per-view on December 11. While ROH is on a hiatus until April 2022, Gresham will continue to defend the strap at various indie events, under ROH Pure Title rules. His first title defense was this past Friday night at GCW's Blood on The Hills event, where he retained over AJ Gray. He then retained over Adam Priest at Saturday's New South Pro event.
