It's Thursday night and that means ROH ON HONOR CLUB is back with it's landmark 100th episode! We've seen some classic moments across the previous 99 weeks of action, and that continues tonight as the high-flying Komander puts his World TV Championship on the line against QT Marshall! In addition, we will see former ROH Pure Champion Katsuyori Shibata in action against former World TV Champion Shane Taylor, as well as Taya Valkyrie return to ROH competition to take on Lady Frost, Gates of Agony in action ahead of their COLLISION bout with Brody King and Buddy Matthews, The Outrunners, The Beast Mortos, and more! The 100th episode of ROH ON HONOR CLUB gets underway at 7pm ET/6pm CT tonight exclusively at WatchROH.com! Not only is Honor Club the home for ROH's weekly wrestling presentation, but it's the destination for 20+ years of ROH history featuring the greatest professional wrestlers of the 21st Century! We have television archives dating back to 2011, hundreds of live events starting with 2002's THE ERA OF HONOR BEGINS, and an ever-growing “Best Of...” section highlighting the athletes who've competed in Ring of Honor over the years including Matt Taven, The Briscoes, Samoa Joe, and this week's J AY LETHAL: LETHAL INJECTION collection highlighting the growth of “The Franchise of ROH” from his Special K beginnings to his return to honor in 2011!  ROH WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH... Komander(c) vs. QT Marshall Three weeks ago QT Marshall stepped into the ring with ROH World Television Champion Komander for the very first time, and with Proving Ground rules in effect, all Marshall had to do was survive 10 minutes with the champion to earn his first-ever TV Title match. It seemed that Komander had the match won when he hit his Cielito Lindo maneuver on QT, but the wily competitor rolled to the floor in the few seconds it took the champion to recover from the impact and the time expired before Komander could get QT back in the ring. It was the first time in nearly six years that the World TV Champion fell short on the Proving Ground, so while QT Marshall accomplished step one by earning this championship match, can he take the next one and actually defeat the champion tonight on the 100th edition of ROH ON HONOR CLUB? ONE-ON-ONE... “The Wrestler” Katsuyori Shibata vs. Shane Taylor It's been nine months since the last time Katsuyori Shibata and Shane Taylor stood across from one another inside the squared circle, but all three of those matches in April 2024 were either in tag or trios situations. Taylor, Lee Moriarty, and Anthony Ogogo defeated Shibata, HOOK, and Chris Jericho on the April 10th DYNAMITE, Shiabata and Orange Cassidy evened that up with Taylor and Lee at the DYNASTY 2024: ZERO HOUR, and in their final bout Shibata teamed up with Daniel Garcia to best the STP pair of Taylor and Moriarty. Tonight however is a different story, this time it's one-on-one between “The Wrestler” and Shane T as STP aims to takeover Ring of Honor in 2025! The former ROH World TV Champion comes into this with victories in six of his last seven matches, but Shibata has been a dominant force in ROH competition since his return at SUPERCARD OF HONOR 2023. Not only is he the 4th longest reigning Pure Champion at 239 days, but he's also 20-2 in ROH competition, with 16 singles victories, and currently holding a 10-match win streak SINGLES MATCH... The Vendetta's Taya Valkyrie vs. Lady Frost It's been almost two years since the last time Taya Valkyrie and Lady Frost went one-on-one inside the squared circle. They've been on opposite sides of several trios and multi-woman matches here in Ring of Honor, but no singles encounters since that May 2023 DYNAMITE clash, and a whole lot has changed with Taya since that night in Las Vegas. Now aligned with “The Virtuosa” Deonna Purrazzo as The Vendetta, Taya has her sights set on taking out every woman who stands across from her in the ring, and Lady Frost is next on her hit list! Can Frost survive the fight with Taya and score her first victory since HONOR CLUB #81, or will this be a repeat of their Spring 2023 Sin City encounter? ALSO FEATURING: -The Beast Mortos in action! -Gates of Agony in tag team competition!! -The Outrunners!!! -Leila Grey competes! -And more!

It's Thursday night and that means Ring of Honor is back tonight on Honor Club with an all-new addition of our weekly program! We've got several exciting match-ups on tap as we heads towards our 100th episode of ROH ON HONOR CLUB next week, including ROH Women's World TV Champion Red Velvet in Proving Ground action, STP uniting with LEEJ for an eight-man tag, Blake Christian in singles competition, The Beast Mortos facing Premier Athletes' Tony Nese, and Katsuyori Shibata uniting with The Outrunners and ROH World TV Champion Komander! ROH ON HONOR CLUB kicks off at 7pm ET/6pm CT every single Thursday exclusively at WatchROH.com! Not only is it the home for ROH's weekly presentation, but it's also the only place to experience Ring of Honor's 20+ year history of the best pound-for-pound wrestling on the planet! From TV archives dating back to 2011, hundreds of live events beginning with THE ERA OF HONOR BEGINS, and the “Best Of...” section highlighting the myriad competitors who've graced the ROH ring over the years including Kenny Omega, Claudio Castagnoli, the Women of Honor, this week's DESCENT INTO MADNESS offering, and so much more! It's updated once a week with a ROH classic collection. However this week, on the anniversary of his tragic passing, we will honor the memory of the late Jay Briscoe with a second offering on Friday: RAISED IN SANDY FORK: THE LIFE & TIMES OF THE BRISCOES! PROVING GROUND... Last week ROH Women's World TV Champion Red Velvet welcomed Jazmyne Hao onto the Proving Ground and shut down her hopes of earning a title match in under three minutes. Tonight the champ has laid out an open invitation once again for someone to try and earn a future title match! We know “Legit” Leyla Hirsch has her sights set on a Women's World TV Title rematch, but Red Velvet told her that'll only take place on Red's time, meaning Hirsch has to sit back and watch other women shoot their shot on the Proving Ground!  Who will step up to the call this week? Will it be another woman from outside the ROH sphere looking to make their name, or will it be a challenge from within the ROH locker room? Tune into Honor Club tonight to see what the future holds for Red Velvet and her Women's World TV Title! ONE-ON-ONE... The Beast Mortos vs. Premier Athletes' Tony Nese Back in September on COLLes to go their separate ways.  Tonight their paths dovetail once more as The Beast Mortos returns to Ring of Honor for the first time since his HONOR CLUB #78 ROH World Championship match against Mark Briscoe, and he'll be staring across the ring at Tony Nese! Coincidentally, that night was also the last singles outing for Tony Nese in ROH, but he's looking to bring the fight to the masked powerhouse in their first singles battle! Will it be a triumphant return to ROH for The Beast Mortos, or will Nese and his Premier Athlete ilk use their numbers to stack the deck? EIGHT-MAN TAG TEAM BOUT... Shane Taylor Promotions (ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty & Shane Taylor) and LEEJ (Lee Johnson & EJ Nduka) vs. Dark Order (Alex Reynolds & Evil Uno), Boulder, & Serpentico Coming off an eight-man victory over Dark Order and Iron Savages on HONOR CLUB #97, and a tag victory over Gates of Agony last week on HONOR CLUB #98, not to mention Lee Moriarty's successful Pure Championship defense over Nigel McGuinness at FINAL BATTLE 2024, it's safe to say that Shane Taylor Promotions is on a bit of a roll. Tonight they aim to continue building that momentum, this time by uniting with LEEJ of EJ Nduka and Lee Johnson, to take on the unique pairing of The SAP's Serpentico, Iron Savages' Boulder, and Dark Order's Alex Reynolds and Evil Uno! Between these two nascent pairings, who will rise up to victory and climb the ladder here in Ring of Honor?ISION, “Smart” Mark Sterling recruited The Beast Mortos for a trios match uniting him with Ariya Daivari and Tony Nese to face Hologram, Kyle O'Reilly, and Mark Briscoe. That night Hologram pinned Tony Nese to score the win for his team, leaving The Beast Mortos and Premiere Athlete to part ways until tonight! This is Beast Mortos' first match in ROH since he fought Mark Briscoe for the ROH World Title during HONOR CLUBN #78, coincidentally also the last ROH event where Tony Nese fought in singles competition. Will the masked monster score victory in his return to ROH competition, or will Nese and his Premiere Athlete allies stack the deck against The Beast? ALSO FEATURING: -Former ROH Pure Champion Katsuyori Shibata in action! -The Outrunners in tag team action! -Blake Christian in singles competition! -And More!

The first edition of ROH ON HONOR CLUB for 2025 saw QT Marshall earn a future ROH World TV Title bout by lasting ten minutes with Komander, ROH Women's World TV Champion Red Velvet defeat Stardom's HANAKO to retain her belt, and featured ROH Legend “The Notorious 187” Homicide reunite with long-time ally Rocky Romero for tag team competition! Well Thursday night is upon us once again and that means an all-new edition of ROH ON HONOR CLUB coming your way! Tonight we will see ROH World Champion Chris Jericho in the House of Honor with “Bad Apple” Bryan Keith at his side but he won't be the only champion in the house! ROH Women's World TV Champion Red Velvet will step onto the Proving Ground to give a potential challenger an opportunity, and ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty will be in tag action alongside Shane Taylor to take on Gates of Agony! All that, and plenty more, is coming your way when ROH ON HONOR CLUB kicks off tonight at 7pm ET/6pm CT exclusively on Honor Club! Not only is Honor Club the spot for Ring of Honor's weekly programming every Thursday night, but it's also your destination for ROH pay-per-view events, as well as the home for 20+ years of wrestling history as best evidenced by the “Best of...” section with compilations featuring Kenny Omega, Claudio Castagnoli, Adam Cole, and the Women of Honor collection dropping this week!! THE NUEVE IN THE HOUSE OF HONOR! When last we saw “The Nueve” Chris Jericho on Ring of Honor, he was victorious in his ROH World Title defense against “The Complete” Matt Cardona at FINAL BATTLE 2024. It may have taken the combined efforts of Jericho, “The Redwood” Big Bill, “Bad Apple” Bryan Keith, and the ROH World Title belt, but at least “The Nueve” left the Hammerstein Ballroom still the World Champion. Tonight during HONOR CLUB, we welcome the World Champion back to the House of Honor but just what does Jericho aim to accomplish with his return tonight? Tune in to find out what “The Nueve” Chris Jericho and his “Bad Apple” have in store for Ring of Honor! THE PROVING GROUND... At FINAL BATTLE 2024 Red Velvet escaped her ROH Women's World TV Title defense against Leyla Hirsch in large part thanks to a wrench she pulled out from under the ring. It was a dirty trick pulled straight from Hirsch's old playbook, literally the same way Hirsch defeated Red on the March 23, 2022 DYNAMITE, and clearly the defending champion never forgot no matter how much time had passed.  As can be heard in that video above, Leyla has regrets about how she conducted business then but it lends her a bit of understanding for how Red Velvet has chosen to operate as champion. That understanding doesn't mean Hirsch is going to let what happened at Hammerstein stand without repercussion, and it seems like the ROH Women's World TV Champion is amenable to a championship rematch but “on her time”, whenever that may be. In the mean time, while “Legit” Leyla Hirsch awaits another title fight, Red Velvet is stepping onto the Proving Ground for the third time since winning the title at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024. Will Red Velvet turn away another potential challenger tonight during ROH ON HONOR CLUB? TAG TEAM BOUT... Shane Taylor Promotions (ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty & Shane Taylor) vs. Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona) While Shane Taylor Promotions may be riding high after last week's victory in an eight-man tag, tonight they have to come back to solid ground for what will undoubtedly be one of the toughest tag team fights they could take on. In this case, it's STP as represented by ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty and its figurehead Shane Taylor, and it's the latter of the two that adds a whole other level to this bout.  It was almost four years ago, during ROH WRESTLING #492 on 2/19/21, that Shane Taylor, Kaun, and Moses captured the ROH World Six-Man Titles from MexiSquad. The three men held those titles for a total of 295 days, the third-longest reign in ROH history, and are the winningest champions with 11 successful defenses during that time. That reign came to an end at FINAL BATTLE 2021: END OF AN ERA, but it was without Shane Taylor even involved as he took on a Fight Without Honor against Kenny King that night.  That means the last time Bishop Kaun and Shane Taylor stood on the same side of a fight was December 9, 2021 on the ROAD TO FINAL BATTLE 2021 and it wouldn't be until the 10/25/24 edition of RAMPAGE that they shared a ring again. That night it was on opposite sides of a Three-Way Tag with Undisputed Kingdom, with Matt Taven and Mike Bennett winning at Moriarty's expense, but tonight there will be no one else in the way. Tonight Shane Taylor and Bishop Kaun will meet on the battlefield once more, but will it be STP or GoA who walks away from this tag team battle with a victory? ONE-ON-ONE... STP's Trish Adora vs. Harley Cameron Back on HONOR CLUB #68 , in her debut bout for Ring of Honor, Harley Cameron scored a solid victory over Trish Adora and since then she's amassed a 3-2 record in ROH, most recently scoring a victory over Ashley Vox just last week. Adora, on the other hand, is 2-1 in ROH competition since that loss to Harley and has since aligned herself with Shane Taylor Promotions. That new attitude brought Trish to victory over Rachael Ellering a few weeks ago, and now she's looking for it to even the score with Harley Cameron tonight during HONOR CLUB! Will Adora's new-found aggression bring her a third consecutive victory, or will she feel the wrath of Harley as Cameron prepares to fight AEW Women's World Champion Mariah May on COLLISION? ONE-ON-ONE... Blake Christian vs. Serpentico After a breakout night at FINAL BATTLE 2024 as one of the last two competitors in the ROH World TV Title Survival of the Fittest Elimination match, not to mention a shocking moment where he drilled Mark Davis in the groin to eliminate him, Blake Christian has found new life in his ROH career! After racking up a frustrating 9-18 record through December 20th, Blake took the feeling he got from FB '24 and parlayed that into victory over AR Fox on HONOR CLUB #96: BOXING DAY BRAWL! Tonight he looks to make it two in a row when he meets Serpentico in a rematch from the 2/7/23 edition of AEW DARK! Can Blake keep the momentum building now that he's found himself in the scheme of ROH, or will he get bit by the snakeman? ALSO FEATURING: -Iron Savages' Boulder vs. Griff Garrison! -Rachael Ellering vs. Queen Aminata! -Billie Starkz in action! -MxM Collection in tag team competition! -And an ROH Classic featuring Sumie Sakai vs. HAZUKI from ROH WRESTLING #357! After the conclusion of ROH ON HONOR CLUB, the Nigel McGuinness: The Road Less Traveled documentary first seen by fans at the Hammerstein Ballroom prior to FINAL BATTLE 2024 will be made available for the very first time! Do not miss out on this emotionally charged production exclusively available on Honor Club!

It's a new year for Ring of Honor as we enter ROH's 23rd year of presenting some of the best professional wrestling on the planet! Between FINAL BATTLE 2024 and WORLDS END 2024, we closed out the year in huge fashion, and we aim to keep that exciting roll going into 2025! We begin the year with two huge matches involve ROH championships, an ROH Legend in action once again, and a huge 8-Man tag!  It would also be neglectful to not mention that both ROH Women's World Champion Athena and ROH World Tag Team Champions The Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara) will be in action at WRESTLE DYNASTY 2025 this Sunday night at the Tokyo Dome! The former will take part in the International Women's Cup 4-Way with Willow Nightingale, Stardom's Momo Watanabe, & CMLL's Persphone while the latter defend their titles against House of Torture's SHO & Yoshinobu Kanemaru! ROH ON HONOR CLUB gets underway tonight at 7pm ET/6pm CT when all that action, and more, drops exclusively on Honor Club! Not only is it the home for Ring of Honor's weekly programming every Thursday, but also pay-per-view events, as well as the destination for 20+ years of top-tier wrestling history as showcased in the “Best of...” section with collections from The Briscoes, Nigel McGuinness, Samoa Joe, Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson, and in celebration of his return to the AEW stage, the Kenny Omega: One Winged Angel collection!! ROH WOMEN'S WORLD TV CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH... Red Velvet(c) vs. HANAKO At FINAL BATTLE 2024 Red Velvet successfully turned away the championship challenge of “Legit” Leyla Hirsch but hers wasn't the only triumph that night. Stardom's HANAKO made her ROH debut during the ZERO HOUR with a victory over Harley Cameron! Just 24 years old, HANAKO made her pro wrestling debut in the fall of 2022 before arriving in Stardom at their March 2023 pay-per-view entitled NEW BLOOD PREMIUM. It wasn't long before HANAKO crossed the paths of Mina Shirakawa and Mariah May in tag team action, and though she fought her heart out every single event, it took four months for HANAKO to score her first victory in STARDOM, a trios bout at the MIDSUMMER CHAMPIONS 2023 PPV. A few weeks later she had the opportunity to team with Mina and Mariah for trios action, and slowly began to build herself up within the promotion. Several one-on-one bouts with Mina showed the Stardom faithful what HANAKO brought to the table, and in January 2024 she actually joined Mina's unit that became known as Empress Nexus Venus and that proved the catalyst for her career moving forward, best illustrated by she and Maika making it to the finals of Stardom's GODDESS OF STARDOM Tag League finals on December 8th, and HANAKO winning the New Blood Tag Titles with Waka Tsukiyama on December 26th! So with that momentum HANAKO heads into this huge championship opportunity tonight during ROH ON HONOR CLUB against the equally red-hot Red Velvet! Red hasn't lost a one-on-one match since an April 13th title fight with ROH Women's World Champion Athena at BATTLE OF THE BELTS X, going  9-0 in that time frame, and she also added several trips to Mexico for CMLL to her resume during 2024. Red's already had three hard-fought title defenses during her reign thus far, and she's about to add another one to the list; the only question is if she'll leave Hammerstein Ballroom with the title tonight as she did at FINAL BATTLE 2024? PROVING GROUND MATCH... ROH World TV Champion Komander vs. QT Marshall Last week during ROH ON HONOR CLUB, newly crowned ROH World TV Champion Komander put his title on the line against a very game Johnny TV. The high-flying luchador was able to retain his hold on the championship despite the fight Mr. TV Ready gave him, but Komander is not resting on the laurels of that victory! Tonight he gets right back into the fight, this time with Proving Ground action as he welcomes the challenge QT Marshall! Now Komander has been on the Proving Grounds a few times trying to earn ROH World Tag Title shots, but this will be his first as the champion trying to rebuke a potential challenge. It's also the first time QT has ever set foot on the Proving Ground, as well as the first dance between he and Komander, so this is going to be quite the interesting test for both champion and challenger. All QT Marshall has to do is last the ten minute time limit or beat Komander in order to earn a future World TV Title match; can he pull it off when honor takes Manhattan? TAG TEAM BOUT... “The Notorious 187” Homicide & Rocky Romero vs. Action Andretti  & Lio Rush Last week former ROH World Champion Homicide returned home to Ring of Honor, marking his first bout in four years for the promotion he helped build from the ground up, and he did so in support of one of his oldest allies: Rocky “Azucar” Romero! There's is a history dating back to 2004 when Romero, along with tag partner Ricky Reyes, made a huge impact in their debut versus The Briscoes at REBORN: STAGE ONE and then went on to join Homicide's Rottweilers unit. Though the opportunities for the two of them to compete strictly as a tag team were rare, they didn't prevent them from looking like a well-oiled machine last week in their victory over QT Marshall and Aaron Solo. Tonight they are right back in action, this time against AEW's top contenders to the World Tag Titles held by Private Party, Action Andretti and Lio Rush! This Saturday on COLLISON Lio and Andretti will get their shot at the gold, but first they've got to survive a run against the reunited Rottweilers! Will Homicide's homecoming continue to be a successful one, or will AEW's #1 Contenders add some more momentum to their impending championship opportunity? 8-MAN TAG BOUT... Shane Taylor Promotions (ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty, Capt. Shawn Dean, Carlie Bravo, & Shane Taylor) vs. Dark Order (Alex Reynolds & Evil Uno) and Iron Savages (Boulder & Bronson) Shane Taylor Promotions already has one title under their umbrella with ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty, but they aim to make 2025 the year where they take over all the titles in Ring of Honor. More than that, the members of STP want to impress upon the wrestling world that they are a dominant force in the game and that begins tonight as they compete as a 4-Man unit for the first time since The Infantry signed on for duty! Though they are also facing a foursome in Dark Order and Iron Savages who've never united before tonight, at least STP are all on the same page and operating with the same mission. Alex Reynolds, Evil Uno, Bronson, and Boulder could not be more different and in fact every time they've shared the ring prior to tonight it has been as opponents. Their only unifying factor is the desire to earn victory to kick off the new year on the right foot, but will that be enough to overcome the unified force of Shane Taylor Promotions? ALSO FEATURING: Harley Cameron in action! A Throwback ROH bout! AND MORE!!

In the aftermath of FINAL BATTLE 2024, and ROH's highly-anticipated return to the Hammerstein Ballroom in the heart of New York City, we return to Thursday night action exclusively on Honor Club! New ROH World TV Champion Komander isn't wasting any time building his legacy as champ as he is set to defend the belt against Johnny TV! Speaking of Johnny, his new runway buddies MxM Collection will also be in action during tonight's program, as will 3-Time AEW Women's World Champion Toni Storm as she makes her Ring of Honor debut! ROH Women's World Champion Athena, coming off a hellacious defense against Billie Starkz has called for a M.E.M, but not E for “empowerment” but rather E for “expulsion”! AR Fox takes on Blake Christian after both came up short in their Survival of the Fittest bid to claim the TV Title, Rocky Romero and a mystery partner are set for battle against QT Marshall and Aaron Solo, and after their clash with each other during FINAL BATTLE 2024, Katsuyori Shibata and “Dynamite Kid” Tommy Billington will team up to face Premier Athletes! ROH ON HONOR CLUB gets underway tonight at 7pm ET/6pm CT with all that action and more, and airs exclusively on Honor Club! Not only is it the home for Ring of Honor's weekly programming, as well as pay-per-view events, it's also the place for 20+ years of top-tier wrestling history as showcased in the “Best of...” section with collections from The Briscoes, Nigel McGuinness, Samoa Joe, Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson, and more dropping every week! ROH WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP... Komander(c) vs. Johnny TV This past Friday night in New York City Komander outlasted five other individuals to become the 34th ROH World Television Champion. After two previous attempts to claim that title, including as part of FINAL BATTLE 2023's Survival of the Fittest bout, the high-flying sensation finally claimed his first title in Ring of Honor and doesn't aim to let it go any time soon! That being said Komander also aims to be a fighting champion and that is evident tonight during ROH ON HONOR CLUB where, just six days removed from his title victory, Komander welcomes the challenge of Johnny TV! Back on HONOR CLUB #83 Komander scored victory over Mr. TV Ready, and that was before Johnny found himself in this slump he's in, a mental funk so bad Johnny's actually eating carbs, and MxM Collection has desperately been trying to help him. Can Johnny find his way back to the top tonight with a championship victory over the newly crowned Komander, or will this be the beginning of a high-flying era of Honor Club like we've yet to experience? ATHENA ISSUES A MINION EXPULSION MEETING?!? Come hell or high water, “The Forever ROH Champion” Athena seems to find a way to keep the ROH Women's World Title around her waist no matter who her opponent may be. It felt like last Friday night in Hammerstein Ballroom was going to be Billie Starkz' triumphant moment, but Athena found a way to win her 25th title defense and leave Billie emotionally devastated in the center of the ring as her parents watched from ringside.  Given that it was Billie's second time coming for Athena's title in the last 12 months, and all that's taken place between the two of them since July when Billie lost the ROH Women's World TV Title to Red Velvet, it should come as little surprise that Athena announced a Minion Expulsion Meeting for tonight on Honor Club. It's been a long time coming, but it looks like this evening in New York is going to mark a shift in the M.I.T landscape... TAG TEAM BOUT... “Dynamite Kid” Tommy Billington & Katsuyori Shibata vs.  Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese) At FINAL BATTLE 2024 “Dynamite Kid” Tommy Billington made his ROH debut, as well as return to the United States for the first time in 17 months, to face off with “The Wrestler” Katsuyori Shibata! Billington was unsuccessful in his attempt to hand Shibata his first ROH loss of 2024, but what he did do was earn Shibata's respect and a spot at his side in this tag team battle tonight in NYC! Now Shibata is quite familiar with Josh Woods, Ariya Daivari, and Tony Nese from singles and trios competition, Woods even challenged him for the Pure Title back on HONOR CLUB #23, but this is the first time he's met them in tag team action as well as the first time Billington has stepped into the ring with any members of “Smart” Mark Sterling's camp! Will Shibata close out his 2024 with the same success he's experienced the rest of the year, or will these Premier Athletes head into 2025 in celebration? A MYSTERY PARTNER? Aaron Solo & QT Marshall vs. Rocky “Azucar” Romero & ????? QT Marshall may have come up short in his match with Jay Lethal at FINAL BATTLE 2024, but he's getting right back into the action with another former ROH champion in Rocky “Azucar” Romero! A 3-time World Tag Champion, Romero has ROH history dating back to REBORN: STAGE ONE in April 2004, not to mention having traversed the wrestling landscape around the globe, so facing him in a mystery partner situation is quite the dilemma for QT and Aaron Solo. Rocky could pull a partner from his rich ROH history, his journeys throughout Mexico and Japan, or his work around the independent wrestling circuit. Who will step up by his side for this tag team clash? ONE-ON-ONE... AR Fox vs. Blake Christian Though AR Fox and Blake Christian have generally stood on the same side of the ring during their ROH tenure, even challenging for the World Six-Man Titles together back at SUPERCARD OF HONOR 2023, tonight they meet one-on-one for the first time in ROH in the aftermath of the World TV Title Survival of the Fittest match at FINAL BATTLE 2024! Christian displayed a rather surprising side of himself when he hit Mark Davis with a low blow ahead of eliminating him from the bout, and nearly put down Komander to earn the World TV Title for himself. Ultimately Komander took the crown, but now that Christian has come so close, he wants another shot at earning his first ROH title and that begins tonight against AR Fox!  They're 1-1 in previous one-on-one meetings outside of ROH; who will add a win to their column in this first Ring of Honor battle? ALSO IN ACTION: -Toni Storm's ROH Debut!! -LEEJ's Lee Johnson vs. SAP's Serpentico -MxM Collection in action!!! -AND MORE!!!!

ROH Final Battle 2024 Results CONTAINS SPOILERS ROH: Final Battle 2024 was broadcast live on December 20th, 2024, from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, NY! The event began with the ROH: Zero Hour preshow kicking things off on the official ROH YouTube Channel! Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman were the commentary team for tonight’s event. Grizzled Young Veterans—James Drake & Zack Gibson vs. Dark Order’s Alex Reynolds & John Silver (with Evil Uno)! Reynolds took down Drake with an arm drag. Gibson grabbed a tag, but Reynolds rocked him with a high cross body press. Silver and Reynolds hit a double dropkick on Gibson. Drake caught Silver with a dragon screw. Gibson body slammed Silver and then worked on Silver’s legs with a one legged Boston crab. Reynolds got the hot tag and cleaned house on the Grizzled Young Vets! Reynolds power bombed Gibson for a near fall. Drake jumped in and the numbers were too much for Reynolds, with Gibson delivering a forearm in the corner. The Dark Order nailed Drake with a spear brain buster combo on the arena floor! Reynolds double stomped Gibson but Gibson kicked out at the two-count! GYV blasted Reynolds with a standing doomsday device. Evil Uno jumped on the apron to distract the Grizzled Young Vets and buy some time for Reynolds to recover. The Dark Order used a flurry of offense on Drake, but Gibson broke it up in the nick of time. GYV retaliated with the high low and pinned Reynolds, hammering their point home and perhaps putting themselves in title contention. Harley Cameron vs. Stardom’s Hanako! Hanako hit Harley with a shoulder tackle. Cameron tried for a vertical suplex, but Hanako reversed it. Hanako pump kicked Cameron in the face! Hanako splashed Harley in the corner. Harley unleashed her shining wizard on Hanako for a near fall.  Harley whipped Hanako around with flying head scissors. Hanako rocked Harley with a back breaker and then planted her after a torture rack, then picked up the pinfall victory! The Undisputed Kingdom’s Matt Taven & Mike Bennett vs. Shane Taylor Promotions’ The Infantry—Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo (with Shane Taylor & Trish Adora)! The Infantry ambushed the Kingdom as Taven and Bennett were making their ring entrance. Bennett and Taven hit tandem offense on Bravo. Shawn Dean put the boots to Matt Taven. While the ref was distracted, Shane Taylor clobbered Taven with a stiff right strike.  Bennett tagged in and unloaded rapid fire chops on Dean and Bravo. Bennett planted Dean with a spine buster. Taven whacked Bravo with Just The Tip. Trish Adora knocked Taven from the top rope and the ref didn’t see it. The Infantry rocked Bennett with Bootcamp, but he kicked out! The Undisputed Kingdom retaliated with the Rockstar Supernova and scored the victory! LEEJ—Lee Johnson & EJ Nduka vs. Gates of Agony—Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona! Lee Johnson scored with a beautiful dropkick on Kaun. EJ tagged in but Kaun rocked him with a back breaker on the top turnbuckle. Liona followed up with a leg drop on the apron and then a suplex on the arena floor to Johnson.  EJ and Toa tagged in for their respective teams. They exchanged forearms in the center of the ring, slugging it out! EJ took Toa off his feet with a flying clothesline. Toa got speared by EJ! The Gates of Agony double teamed EJ. Lee Johnson came in and tried to clean house to help his partner. Johnson frog splashed Bishop but Toa speared Johnson. EJ landed the 6’8” moonsault on Bishop Kaun. Toa planted Nduka with a Samoan drop. Big Shotty Lee Johnson flipped over the top rope and landed onto Toa on the arena floor. He tried for a rana, but Bishop Kaun countered with a power bomb onto the steel ring steps. They planted Lee with Open the Gates, but Johnson kicked out. The Gates of Agony punished Johnson with Open the Gates again and this time Kaun pinned Johnson! After the match, LEEJ blindsided the Gates of Agony with cheap shots, taking the loss personal! The main portion of the card kicked off with… CMLL’s Atlantis Jr. vs. MxM Collection’s Mansoor (with Mason Madden)! Mansoor took down Atlantis with an inside wristlock takeover. Atlantis cut down Mansoor with flying head scissors. Mason interfered, sweeping out Atlantis’ legs from the apron. Mansoor capitalized with a slingshot neck breaker followed by a falcon arrow. Atlantis began to target Mansoor’s back as the momentum of the match shifted in his favor. Mason distracted Atlantis long enough for Mansoor to suplex Atlantis from the top turnbuckle.
