ROH on HonorClub Episode 55 Preview



Last week on Honor Club, the ROH faithful watched as Red Velvet advanced to the Semi-Final round of the ROH Women's World TV Title Tournament, and this Thursday night during ROH ON HONOR CLUB we will watch the last two Quarter-Final bouts unfold before our eyes! Will it be Billie Starkz or Diamante who advances in the field? Can Abadon get past former ROH Women's World Champion Mercedes Martinez to advance? We will see this Thursday night at 7pm ET/6pm CT only on Honor Club, the home for Ring of Honor's 20+ year history featuring the most influential wrestling company of this century!



ROH WOMEN'S WORLD TV CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT

Quarter-Finals

Billie Starkz vs. Diamante

***WINNER FACES MERCEDES MARTINEZ/ABADON WINNER***


With SUPERCARD OF HONOR 2024 drawing closer, this Thursday night ROH ON HONOR CLUB presents the last two Quarter-Final match-ups on the Women's World Television Tournament. We have already seen Queen Aminata and Red Velvet advance to the Semi-Finals, leaving four women to claim the other two spots in the Semi's; will it be Billie Starkz, Diamante, Mercedes Martinez, or Abadon?


In the match-up between Starkz and Diamante, we've got a battle between some familiar foes who had their share of issues last fall. Starkz was able to score a victory over Diamante in their singles match back on HONOR CLUB #34, but in their Tornado Tag a week later, with ROH Women's World Champion Athena and Mercedes Martinez as their respective partners, the outcome was quite different and Starkz lost one for “The Fallen Goddess”. 


Fast forward twenty weeks to this Thursday and we find Billie Starkz seemingly more driven than she was heading into her FINAL BATTLE 2023 bout with Athena, and that's saying quite a lot. It's as if the disappointment in that loss, combined with the approval of the ROH Women's World Champion, and Athena pushing Starkz to win this tournament, have unlocked a new level of determination in young Billie. Still, she finds herself up against stiff competition in Diamante, a woman with a wealth of experience and knowledge who's also quite hungry to strap a championship around her waist. There is going to be a tremendous fight between these two on Thursday night to see who advances, but it's also going to be quite interesting to see who advances in the other bout as there's the potential for partners to collide in Mercedes Martinez versus Diamante!


Mercedes Martinez vs. Abadon

***WINNER FACES BILLIE STARKZ/DIAMANTE WINNER***



Speaking of Mercedes, she finds herself with the staunch opponent on Thursday in the form of “The Living Dead Girl” Abadon! They've been on strong run in ROH, winning three consecutive bouts, but Mercedes Martinez is a former ROH Women's World Champion, a step up from the competition Abadon has faced thus far in Ring of Honor, though it can be said Mercedes has never faced an entity quite like Abadon either.


Mercedes brings heavy firepower to all her fights, but is it enough to put Abadon down for the count and move forward in this tournament? We will find out this Thursday on Honor Club as the shape of the ROH Women's World TV Title Tournament Semi-Finals takes form!


TAG TEAM RETURN!



2009 was the last time Orange Cassidy appeared in a Ring of Honor ring and suffice it to say, he was a very different animal way back then. Now he comes into the ROH ring as a former 2-Time AEW International Champion, the man who gave that title its identity and built its value into something coveted by the AEW locker room, but on a mission to prepare for tag team greatness!


See with the AEW World Tag Team Championship vacant, there will be a tournament kicking off very soon, and with Chuck Taylor still on the injured reserve, Trent Beretta has tapped Orange Cassidy to be his tag team tournament partner! That means getting in as many reps as possible before the tournament kicks off, and with a tag team bout against Dark Order already set for RAMPAGE, they've decided to step into ROH competition to get into tag team mode! The chase for the AEW World Tag Titles is going to be a hot one, and for the Orange/Beretta tandem, it begins this Thursday night on HONOR CLUB!
