From the PWInsider audio update thanks to the ROH world forum that did the transcript
All signs are pointing that Mark and Jay Briscoe have wrestled for the last time in Ring of Honor. Yes, that Jay Briscoe, the ROH World Champion. Ring of Honor did not have Mark Briscoe appear on the TV taping on Sunday. They ran an angle that he had been injured the night before against Jay Briscoe leading to Kevin Steen getting involved in the Steel Cage Warfare match that was the main event of the tapings and what ROH built up to in thr 4 weeks of TV. However, Ring of Honor also did an angle where, after defeating Matt Hardy, to retain the ROH Championship, Jay Briscoe was attacked by Hardy and Steve Corino and a couple of other heels and laid out and beaten down..pretty much destroyed and it was described to be as a heavy, heavy, heavy angle. And in speaking to a number of Ring of Honor sources, over the last 12 hours or so, that was the last scheduled appearance for either Briscoe brother for the forseeable future. There is talk they may be departing the company and at the very least they will be on a hiatus for some time. This has nothing to do with the Jay Briscoe Twitter incident, it was something arranged way prior to this PPV & TV taping. The story making the rounds is that they were leaving for greener pastures, but they may not be leaving. Atthe very least they will be on a hiatus and what the hell this means for the ROH Championship, your guess is as good as mine. Common sense would dictate that Briscoe will be stripped of the belt if he is not coming back or if he's going to be on an extended hiatus, similar to TNA stripping Rob Van Dam of his championship in 2010.
Opinionated View- I have made it clear over the years I am not a Briscoe Brother fans. I have never gotten the big deal about them or why they get so much praise. But for ROH not to have Jay drop the title before he leaves is insane you could have had Hardy win it or hell you don't want Hardy plenty of set up to have a Adam Cole win or heck do Mania 9 booking if you want a face champion.
I know a while back there a report WWE was interested in Jay and Mark but I just can't see them lasting they worked for TNA for a brief time but I have never heard of any real interest in brining them back. I guess it could be Japan or Mexico if they are leaving.
