The clock is ticking down towards DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024 (www.rohtix.com) on July 26th and we now know that ROH Women's World Champion Athena will defend her title against Queen Aminata while ROH Women's World TV Champion Billie Starkz puts hers on the line against Red Velvet. In addition, we recently witnessed Lee Moriarty earn a ROH Pure Championship match on the Proving Ground with Wheeler Yuta, and we know there are plenty of teams gunning for the ROH World Tag Championship held by The Undisputed Kingdom!
The face of DBD '24 will continue to take shape tonight during ROH ON HONOR CLUB as Billie Starkz welcomes another competitor onto the Proving Ground as Lee Johnson and The Infantry go into Trios combat with The Dark Order, Skye Blue fights in ROH action, as does Diamante, and we've got a Three Way fight between Marina Shafir, Robyn Renegade, and Taya Valkyrie! Plus newly crowned ROH World TV Champion Atlantis Jr. faces Serpentico on the Proving Ground, and The Righteous go into Trios combat with Lance Archer at their side! The bouts begin at 7pm ET/6pm CT exclusively on Honor Club, your home for ROH programming, the weekly program as well as pay-per-view events like the upcoming DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024, plus over twenty years of wrestling history featuring fighters like Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, Jay Lethal, Sara Del Rey, Serena Deeb, The Briscoes, The Kingdom, Samoa Joe, and more!
TRIOS ACTION...
Lee Johnson & The Infantry (Capt. Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo)
vs.
The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds, John Silver, & Evil Uno)
Last week we saw The Dark Order compete against members of The Bang Bang Gang in trios competition, albeit not the triumvirate that hold the Undisputed World Trios Championship, but rather The Gunns and Juice Robinson, and though they gave it their best effort, The Dark Order was stifled in their attempt at victory. It was a continuation of the roller coast year that they've had in 2024, ups and downs with consistency slipping through their fingers, but that doesn't mean they'll just roll over and let the losses take their toll.
Instead they are right back in the mix tonight on Honor Club when The Dark Order takes on the combination of Lee Johnson and The Infantry! This is just their second outing as a trio, the first taking place way back on HONOR CLUB #48, but they demonstrated a lot of promise in that victory over The Iron Savages, and aim to pick up where they left off in this Dark Order battle!
Can Reynolds, Uno, and Silver get it on track and become contenders for the Trios Championship or will they be frustrated once again as they were in their fight with The BBG?
PROVING GROUND MATCH...
ROH World Television Champion Atlantis Jr. vs. Serpentico
On June 28th, at CMLL's SUPER VIERNES event, Atlantis Jr. defeated “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher to become the new ROH World Television Champion. It was a simultaneous first, Atlantis Jr.'s first match involving Ring of Honor and Kyle Fletcher's first match for CMLL, and it proved a historic night for both of them! Now, tonight during ROH ON HONOR CLUB, Atlantis Jr. marks another historic moment in his career as he wrestles on ROH programming for the very first time when he invites Serpentico onto the Proving Ground! This marks Serpentico's third Proving Ground match, his first with a potential TV Title match at stake, can he succeed here where he failed against Claudio Castagnoli and Eddie Kingston with ROH World Title fights on the line?
PROVING GROUND MATCH...
ROH Women's World TV Champion Billie Starkz vs. Mackenzie Morgan
Billie Starkz and “The Fallen Goddess” Athena both learned last week that at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024 (www.rohtix.com) they will be defending their ROH Women's World TV Title and ROH Women's World Championship against Red Velvet and Queen Aminata respectively. Athena can claim “not medically cleared” all she wants, but clearly the ROH Board of Directors and ROH President Tony Khan think otherwise and have slotted her for a title defense in Arlington, TX!
But before we get there, Billie Starkz still has to deal with potential challenges to her crown in the form of Proving Ground competition, and this week that means facing Southaven's own Mackenzie Morgan! Morgan, creeping on her two year anniversary as a professional, has racked up quite a bit of experience in her time competing, even holding the Women's Title for CWFM (Championship Wrestling From Memphis) for 310+ days and counting, but this is a huge leap up in competition for Morgan. That being said, it's also a huge opportunity to make an impression and earn a title fight. Last ten minutes, or actually beat the champion; thus far no one has beaten Billie Starkz on the Proving Ground, and no one has lasted longer than five minutes. With Starkz focused on Red Velvet and DBD '24, can Mackenzie Morgan be the first?
