Background

Survival of The Fittest featured professional wrestling matches that involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that played out on ROH's television program, Ring of Honor Wrestling. Wrestlers portrayed heroes (faces) or villains (heels) as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4]

Survival of the Fittest is an annual tournament held by ROH. For the 2017 event, the winners from designated tournament matches in Night 1 at San Antonio, Texas and Night 2 at Dallas, Texas advanced to a 6-Man Elimination Match on Night 3 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and the winner of that match was declared Survivor of the Fittest, and received a future ROH World Championship match.
