PLOT
Best in the World was announced by ROH to take place on July 11 on a Sunday (as opposed to the usual Friday). Along with the pay-per-view announcement, ROH stated that fans will be allowed to attend the event, making it the first attended event for ROH in nearly a year and a half, as ROH - after taking a five-month hiatus at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic - has held empty arena TV tapings and PPV broadcasts since August 2020.
