Update: Some additional background on Roderick Strong's new ROH deal includes the following:

(1) Strong's contact is non-exclusive, but he cannot wrestle for promotions with prominent iPPV presence, such as WWNLive.

WWNLive's Gabe Sapolsky tweeted earlier this week: "Thanks @roderickstrong for last run. Pleasure to have as a booker. Enjoyed your work as a fan. Last match was best vs. Sabre at EVOLVE 45."

(2) Strong can continue to work for independent promotions. PWTorch has independently confirmed that Strong told people behind-the-scenes that he continue wrestling for PWG, where is currently the promotion's champion.

(3) Some promoters were under the impression that Strong's new ROH deal was exclusive, but the deal is confirmed as non-exclusive. ROH wrestlers like Jay Lethal, the Briscoes, and Adam Cole have exclusive deals.

*** Original Report July 28 ***

Roderick Strong has re-signed with Ring of Honor, the company announced Tuesday.

According to Prowrestling.net, this is not quite an exclusive deal similar to current ROH World & TV champion Jay Lethal and The Briscoes.

The belief is that Strong can continue independent bookings, such as with PWG, where he is currently PWG champion, but he he will no longer be able to wrestle for WWNLive (EVOLVE/DGUSA) while under contract to ROH.

Earlier this year, Strong wrestled for ROH and WWNLive on the same weekend, but that is now off the table.

EVOLVE/DGUSA head booker Gabe Sapolsky posted on Twitter: "Thanks @roderickstrong for last run. Pleasure to have as a booker. Enjoyed your work as a fan. Last match was best vs. Sabre at EVOLVE 45."

In Tuesday's announcement, ROH touted Strong as exemplifying Ring of Honor’s pride for having the best wrestling on the planet."

Strong wrestled Jay Lethal to a 60-minute draw on last weekend's "Death Before Dishonor" Internet PPV. Their re-match is August 21 in Philadelphia.

Strong then faces IWGP World Hvt. champion Kazuchika Okada on August 22 in Brooklyn, N.Y. in a ROH vs. New Japan star clash.

Strong, who is having one of the best runs of his career entering his 13th year wrestling for ROH, said in the press release: "I’ve set the bar really high for myself and anyone who comes after me. I’ve got unfinished business in Ring of Honor and winning that ROH World Championship for a second time is of the utmost importance!”
