History of ROH's Final Battle

 ROH Final Battle is an annual pay-per-view event produced by Ring of Honor Wrestling (ROH), held annually since 2002. It is held in December and is the promotion's last major show of the calendar year (not including TV tapings). The 2009 edition of the event was ROH's first internet pay-per-view event, and the first ROH show to be broadcast live. The 2010 edition and the 2011 edition of the event were also broadcast live via the internet. Between 2006 and 2014, every event was held at either the Grand Ballroom or the Hammerstein Ballroom of the Manhattan Center in New York City, New York. Final Battle has since become Ring of Honor's premiere flagship event, similar to WWE's WrestleMania.
