Final Battle Match Previews

ROH World Championship Survival of the Fittest Match: Bandido (c) vs. Blake Christian vs. Sammy Guevara vs. Hechicero vs. Komander vs. The Beast Mortos

Ring of Honor pay-per-views consistently give us some of the greatest matches of the year, and this world title Survival of the Fittest Match on Friday night promises to continue that trend! This is perhaps the toughest test ROH World Champion Bandido has faced since defeating Chris Jericho back in April to begin his second reign with the world title. Bandido will have to outlast Blake Christian, the Don Callis Family’s Hechicero, Komander, and LFI’s Sammy Guevara and The Beast Mortos in this elimination match if he hopes to retain his championship.

Get your popcorn ready, because this will be an absolutely incredible spectacle with ROH’s grandest prize on the line tonight at Final Battle!

ROH Women’s World Championship Match: Athena (c) vs. Persephone

The Forever Champion has certainly earned her nickname, as Athena has now held the ROH Women’s World Championship for well over 1000 days, turning away all challengers since 2022. But the hard-hitting, tough-as-nails Persephone might be Athena’s toughest opponent to date, and she won’t back down from the champ or her minions.

Will Athena’s “Forever” reign come to an abrupt end in Columbus, or will the champ roll into the holiday season with her title still held high? We’ll find out on WatchROH.com tonight!

ROH Women’s World TV Championship Match: Mercedes Moné (c) vs. Red Velvet

Ultimo Moné’s quest to hold every championship across the globe (or so it seems, anyway) has brought her to ROH, as she first became the Interim ROH Women’s World TV Champion when she defeated Mina Shirakawa at AEW WrestleDream back in October. That put The CEO on a collision course with Red Velvet, who was champion before being sidelined for nearly five months before injury. 

The two women fought on AEW Collision a couple of weeks ago with the undisputed ROH Women’s World TV Championship on the line, and Moné emerged victorious. Velvet subsequently demanded a rematch, and now we’ll see Moné vs. Velvet 2 for the ROH Women’s World TV Championship tonight at Final Battle!

AEW National Championship Match: Ricochet (c) vs. Dalton Castle

For the first time ever, an AEW championship will be defended on an ROH pay-per-view tonight when Ricochet, who became the inaugural AEW National Champion when he won the Casino Gauntlet match at AEW Full Gear Presented by DC less than two weeks ago, takes on former ROH World Champion Dalton Castle! Both men are incredibly charismatic in their own ways, and they certainly have different styles in the ring. Expect a show-stealing performance in this one!

ROH Pure Women’s Championship Tournament Final: Deonna Purazzo vs. Billie Starkz

It all comes down to this. Deonna Purrazzo and Billie Starkz meet in the tournament finals to crown the first-ever ROH Women’s Pure Champion!

This new ROH title was first announced by ROH Owner & CEO Tony Khan in April, with the inaugural champion being crowned after a grueling tournament involving 16 of the best women’s wrestlers in the world. That tournament culminates tonight. Can Starkz claim gold just days before her 21st birthday? Or will “The Virtuosa” show off her virtuosity en route to a championship of her own?

ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship Match: STP (c) (Shane Taylor, Carlie Bravo and Shawn Dean) vs. SkyFlight (Scorpio Sky, Dante Martin and Darius Martin)

Some bad men are about to rumble in Columbus, as STP look to defend their ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship against the surging SkyFlight. Top Flight (Dante and Darius Martin) defeated The Infantry (Carlie Bravo and Shawn Dean) on ROH TV just a couple of weeks ago to solidify this title bout. Will STP continue their dominance of the six-man tag division in ROH, or can SkyFlight claim gold for the first time under their new banner as a group?

ROH World Tag Team Championship Match: LFI’s Sammy Guevara & The Beast Mortos vs. Adam Priest & Tommy Billington

With RUSH sidelined by injury, the ROH World Tag Team Titles are currently held up, but Sammy Guevara and The Beast Mortos are stepping up with their LFI comrade on the mend to take on Adam Priest and Tommy Billington tonight at Final Battle. New champions will therefore be crowned one way or another tonight, but can LFI keep the titles in their midst, or will Priest and Billington cap their incredible run as a tag team so far with championship gold?

30-Minute Iron Man Match: Lee Moriarty vs. Nigel McGuinness

Two of the greatest technical wrestlers of their eras are tied all-time at one win apiece. Tonight, Lee Moriarty and Nigel McGuinness will go head-to-head in a 30-Minute Iron Man Match to determine who is truly the better wrestler in the ultimate test for both. Make sure to be seated for this one, as Moriarty and McGuinness will undoubtedly put on a wrestling clinic in their pivotal battle.

Eddie Kingston vs. Josh Woods

Before his AEW World Title Match vs. Samoa Joe this Wednesday at AEW Dynamite: Winter is Coming, The Mad King aims to continue his unbeaten streak since his return from injury against former ROH Pure Champion Josh Woods tonight in Columbus!

Final Battle Zero Hour: Death Riders' Daniel Garcia & Wheeler Yuta vs. Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake and Zack Gibson) w/ Jon Moxley on Commentary

Fresh off a win on ROH TV, the Death Riders go to battle with GYV with Jon Moxley commentary tonight during the Final Battle Zero Hour!

Final Battle Zero Hour: Ace Austin vs. Lee Johnson

Two of wrestling’s most exciting young stars battle 1-on-1 when Bang Bang Gang’s Ace Austin fights “Big Shotty” Lee Johnson on the ROH Final Battle Zero Hour preshow, starting live tonight at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m CT on ROH digital platforms, one hour before the ROH Final Battle main card goes live on WatchROH.com!

Final Battle Zero Hour: Zayda Steel vs. Leila Grey

A friendly challenge was issued on ROH TV, and now it becomes reality as Zayda Steel makes her ROH in-ring debut against SkyFlight's Leila Grey on the Final Battle Zero Hour tonight!
