The event also was notable for actor Stephen Amell, who was previously announced as the host for the first night of the tour, joining the Bullet Club stable and wrestling in the show's main event.
Background
Survival of The Fittest featured professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that played out on ROH's television program, Ring of Honor Wrestling. Wrestlers portrayed heroes ( faces) or villains ( heels) as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. [4]
Survival of the Fittest is an annual tournament held by ROH. For the 2017 event, the winners from designated tournament matches in Night 1 at San Antonio, Texas and Night 2 at Dallas, Texas advanced to a 6-Man Elimination Match on Night 3 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and the winner of that match was declared Survivor of the Fittest, and received a future ROH World Championship match.
