From ROH's site:
There was a lot of debate in the ROH offices today about what to do with the ROH World Tag Team Titles. Jay & Mark Briscoe won the belts for the 5th time on 4/12 in Edison, NJ. However, Mark was viciously attacked last Saturday in Chicago Ridge, IL by The Age Of The Fall. The attack saw Jimmy Jacobs stab Mark in the wrist, causing severe ligament damage. Mark will undergo surgery this Friday and will be out of action for 3-6 months.
ROH officials decided that it was unfair to strip Jay Briscoe of the titles. After exploring several different possibilities, it has been decided that Jay will be able to pick a replacement partner and continue to defend the belts.
The next ROH World Tag Team Title Match will take place on 5/10 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan, NY when Jay Briscoe and a partner defend against The Age Of The Fall team of Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black.
Jay said he wanted a couple of days to think about a partner. We will report Jay's choice here when he makes his decision. His partner will be someone already on the ROH roster.
This figures to be the most emotional ROH World Tag Team Title defense of Jay's career. He said he is fighting for his brother on May 10th in New York City. Tickets are now 33% off at ROHwrestling.com.

ROH has now officialy announced that Jay Briscoe has chosen Austin Aries to be his partner to defent the titles against the AOTF.

I think he'll choose Aries. I just hope AOTF comes out with the win.

Pretty sure it's going to be Aries, I'd mark so hard if it ended up being like Delirious, though.

Seeing as how Aries is fueding with Jimmy now, it would make a lot of sense for him to be picked.

It'll be Aries and this is horrible booking. They should of just done a mini tournament. Also what was the use of starting a Steenerico/NRC feud in Manhattan only to not follow up with it?

I assume that they will lose to the AOTF.

Aries or Danielson, those two are like the permanent tag team replacement partners. I hope to God they drop the titles to AoTF.

I'm pretty sure that it's going to be Aries, as well. The match would help move forward the Aries/Jacobs storyline.

They should bring in Low Ki for the replacement.

Considering that Ki has a bad knee and is recovering from surgery that is impossible. Factor in that he isn't liked and you have zero chance of that happening.

I hope it's Aries, so, he can screw Briscoe and join AOTF.

I'm often critical about ROH and I think this is bad booking but seriously just because you can't appreciate good wrestling and have a hard on for garbage for WWE doesn't mean it's better. Jay Briscoe & Aries(who it'll most like be) as champions suck but when WWE puts on anywhere close to the tag matches ROH puts on then you can talk. If you wanna talk about bad booking look no further than Backlash. Triple H & Cena lost their shot, explain to me why they deserve another? Ric Flair is just fine with Shawn Michaels retiring him so explain to me why Batista cares if Flair don't? I don't even need to get into TNA's awful booking. While I think ROH's booking as of late has been a cluster  it's still better than anything on TV. |

Vacating the titles and having a tournament sucks i'd much prefer Jay to give the belt to Aries. It wouldnt be a bad idea if tournaments werent so overused in wrestling now but usually somewhere in the indys theres a tournament or two a month... |
