It's an exciting week of wrestling action for All Elite Wrestling and Ring of Honor! With a tremendous edition of DYNAMITE taking place last night that featured three 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament bouts, the debut of “The Walking Weapon” Josh Alexander, a hard-fought AEW World Tag Title Match, new AEW World Trios Champions in The Opps , and a stacked episode of COLLISION going down tonight on TNT, ROH is excited to bring to you a special YouTube presentation this afternoon at 12 p.m. ET in addition to Friday afternoon's ROH ON HONOR CLUB episode! This special presentation will feature CMLL's La Catalina facing “La Wera Loca” Taya Valkyrie with the winner earning a shot at ROH Women's World TV Champion Red Velvet, The Conglomeration's Tomohiro Ishii and Rocky Romero facing Top Flight, Shane Taylor in action, and The Patriarchy's Nick Wayne welcoming RevPro's Michael Oku to ROH as Wayne prepares for his fight with ROH World TV Champion Komander tonight on COLLISION! ONE-ON-ONE... The Patriarchy's Nick Wayne vs. Michael Oku “The Patriarch” Christian Cage laid it out on the table for his “son” Nick Wayne last night on DYNAMITE: SPRING BREAK THRU, and provided a huge opportunity for “The Prodigy” later tonight on COLLISION: SPRING BREAK THRU. Tonight he has the opportunity to impress his surrogate father and show ROH World TV Champion Komander what to expect in their championship rematch just a matter of hours after this contest concludes.  Unfortunately for young Mister Wayne it's not going to be a walk in the park when he steps into the ring with the debuting Michael Oku! Coming to ROH by way of the United Kingdom's RevPro promotion, the reigning 2-Time Undisputed British Heavyweight Champion brings his eight years of experience to Ring of Honor for the very first time. Though he may be new to ROH, this is a man who defeated Will Ospreay in a 47-minute championship match 14 months ago, and a month before that beat Speedball Mike Bailey and Johnny TV on back-to-back nights. Great-O-Khan, Hechicero, GYV's Zack Gibson, Gabe Kidd, and Ultimo Guerrero, among many others, fell to Oku over the course of his RevPro championship reigns, so suffice to that Nick Wayne has got a fight on his hands! Will Nick pick up this much needed win just hours before he challenges Komander for the ROH World TV Championship or will Michael Oku show “The Prodigy” why he's achieved the great successes he has in his career thus far? SINGLES MATCH... La Catalina vs. Taya Valkyrie ***WINNER EARNS WOMEN'S WORLD TV TITLE MATCH*** One month ago, at CMLL's March 16th DOMINGO FAMILIAR event, Taya Valkyrie and Lady Frost united to defeat La Catalina and Persephone in tag team action. Tonight during this YouTube special, La Catalina returns to Ring of Honor to even the score with “La Wera Loca” in their very first singles match! La Catalina is no stranger to ROH competition. Prior to that CMLL tag, La Catalina defeated Lady Frost in singles competition during HONOR CLUB 105 before falling to ROH Women's World Champion Athena in their championship bout during HONOR CLUB 106. After that aforementioned tag, La Catalina returned at HONOR CLUB 108 to defeat Viva Van and set her eyes on the ROH Women's World TV Championship around the waist of Red Velvet! However Taya Valkyrie has her own plans for Red and that Women's TV Title which is why today during HONOR CLUB the two competitors will go one-on-one with a future shot at the championship at stake! Will Taya experience the same success that she did in the CMLL Tag team battle, or will this be the night La Catalina earns a shot at ROH immortality? TAG TEAM BOUT... The Conglomeration (Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii) vs. Top Flight (Dante & Darius Martin) The various members of The Conglomeration may be embroiled in their own endeavors, but their bond remains and the individuals involved still find their way together when the time comes! Just such a moment is taking place this afternoon on YouTube when Rocky Romero and Tomohiro Ishii conglomerate for the first time since a trios bout alongside Mark Briscoe on the November 22, 2024 RAMPAGE and go it as a tag team for the first time since NJPW's SHOWDOWN IN LOS ANGELES on 11/11/19. Though it's been awhile since they've hooked up, Rocky and “The Stone Pitbull” have been teaming up for 14 years in one form or another but that doesn't mean it's easy sailing when they're facing the high-flying offense of Top Flight!  Dante and Darius Martin are coming into this fight with a 6-2 record in ROH tag team competitions, and to be fair there's a huge asterisk next to one of those losses as it was the night Dante suffered a near-career ending injury at SUPERCARD OF HONOR 2023. Since Dante's return to action, the Martin brothers have won five straight ROH tag team battles and though they've been engaged in a rather violent rivalry with CRU (Action Andretti & Lio Rush) as of late, they're still focused on chasing down tag team championship success in both ROH and AEW!  A victory over two well-seasoned competitors like Ishii and Rocky would only help bolster their desire to challenge for the ROH World Tag Titles, but that experience advantage the Conglomeration duo has may very well be an insurmountable task for Top Flight! ALSO FEATURING:  -Shane Taylor in action! -And More!!

A new day has dawned in Ring of Honor and at its helm is “The Most Wanted” Bandido! This past Sunday night at DYNASTY 2025, in the city of Philadelphia where Ring of Honor was born, Bandido defeated “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho to claim the ROH World Championship for the second time! A new day has dawned in Ring of Honor and at its helm is “The Most Wanted” Bandido! This past Sunday night at DYNASTY 2025, in the city of Philadelphia where Ring of Honor was born, Bandido defeated “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho to claim the ROH World Championship for the second time! That bring us to tonight for the latest edition of ROH ON HONOR CLUB dropping exclusively on Honor Club and beginning at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT! Tonight we will see the brand-new World Champion Bandido face 2-Time World Champion Jay Lethal in their very first singles match, and on the Proving Ground no less! Plus, The Conglomeration's Tomohiro Ishii faces Frat House's Preston Vance, MxM Collection is in Trios action with Johnny TV, Death Riders' Marina Shafir returns to ROH competition, and World Six-Man Champions Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erichs will also be in trios action! It's only on Honor Club, but the weekly Thursday night program isn't all it has to offer! Honor Club is the only home for ROH's 23-year history and it showcases the best from the men and women who've shaped the face of professional wrestling for the last two decades! We have a live event archive dating back to 2002's THE ERA OF HONOR BEGINS, as well as television archives beginning with June 2011, plus an ever-expanding “Best Of...” collection that includes Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, the Women of Honor, The Kings of Wrestling, and in honor of their return to AEW at DYNASTY 2025, we've added SUPERKICK PARTY VOL. 1: THE BEST OF THE YOUNG BUCKS! This set showcases Matt and Nick Jackson from their 2009 debut with ROH through 2014, and features bouts with The Briscoes, Kings of Wrestling, Dark City Fight Club, Forever Hooligans, All Night Express, and more! PROVING GROUND... ROH World Champion Bandido vs. “The Franchise of ROH” Jay Lethal As the phrase goes, out of the frying pan into the fire! Just days after defeating “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho to become a 2-Time ROH World Champion, “The Most Wanted” Bandido is stepping onto the Proving Ground to face “The Franchise of ROH” Jay Lethal! Though the two men are quite familiar with one another from previous matches in ROH (including a World Tag Title Proving Ground, match during Lethal's title reign) as well as in Mexico, they've surprisingly never faced each other one-on-one. Well that changes in the main event of tonight's edition of ROH ON HONOR CLUB! The last time Bandido and Lethal shared the ring in ROH was four years ago, almost to the day, when ROH WRESTLING 499 aired on April 9, 2021. That evening Jay and his partner were victorious in tag team action over Bandido and his, just as they were a few months prior in the aforementioned World Tag Title Proving Ground match. In fact across the five times they've previously faced each other in ROH, it was Lethal side of the bout that proved victorious in three instances. However, extrapolate that across their career bouts with one another, and we see a 3-3-1 record with that 1 stemming from a Five-Way battle in Mexico neither Lethal nor Bandido won. Delving a little further into the fight mathematics of the bout, Lethal has been in 19 previous Proving Ground matches and was the reigning champion in 17 of those. In the two where he was the prospective challenger, Lethal split the difference at 1-1. However it should be noted that in the one where he lost (ROH WAR), Jay was just one of three other potential challengers to the World TV Title then held by Matt Taven. In his only one-on-one Proving Ground challenge at ROAD TO GREATNESS: NIGHT 2, he defeated Taven to earn a championship bout. In addition, Lethal was in one of the first-ever singles Proving Ground matches when he, as reigning World TV Champion, defeated Mark Briscoe at GATEWAY TO HONOR 2011.  Conversely, ROH World Champion Bandido has only fought in one Proving Ground match before, the previously mentioned World Tag Title contest at GATEWAY TO HONOR 2020, and his team fell in its attempt to earn a title fight. One final statistical note about the World Title and Proving Ground bouts: in 21 previous such contests no one has ever defeated the World Champion to earn a title bout, and only one man ever went the time limit to earn a championship fight. Coincidentally it was Jay Lethal who was the reigning World Champion at that time... So can “The Franchise” earn his way to his first ROH World Title fight since the FULL GEAR 2023 bout with Eddie Kingston, or will Bandido survive his first experience on the Proving Ground as ROH World Champion? ONE-ON-ONE... The Conglomeration's Tomohiro Ishii vs. Frat House's Preston Vance The Frat House members seem far more interested in partying than they do winning their bouts, which is unfortunate considering they are a supremely talented collection of athletes who've shown flashes of their potential over the course of their assorted career in AEW and ROH. Perhaps the top of the list when it comes to that conversation is Preston Vance. Whether it was as a member of The Dark Order or standing alongside La Faccion Ingobernables, Vance has gone one-on-one with Jon Moxley, challenged Orange Cassidy for the International Title, competed against Lee Moriarty for the Pure Title, and yet every bit of that potential seems wasted as he, in his own words, said “win or lose, we booze”. On the other hand, you've got “The Stone Pitbull” Tomohiro Ishii who is purely focused on the fight in front of him and the potential to add championships to his trophy case. In fact tomorrow night in Chicago, at NJPW's WINDY CITY RIOT 2025, he could add the NJPW STRONG Openweight Championship to that as he challenges Gabe Kidd in a 30-Minute Iron Man Match. So as much as tonight's match is about beating Preston Vance, it's also about getting prepared for the fight with Kidd in 24 hours. If Vance hopes to defeat “The Stone Pitbull” he's either going to have to set all the distractions of The Frat House aside, or use his frat bros as leverage against the 6-Time NEVER Openweight Champion! ALSO FEATURING: -MxM Collection & Johnny TV in Trios action! -Death Riders' Marina Shafir competes! -ROH World Six-Man Champions Dustin Rhodes & The Von Erichs in action! -And More!!!

With Thursday night upon us once again, ROH ON HONOR CLUB is coming your way tonight with a tremendous line-up of bouts! ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty is set to headline the night when he puts his title on the line against AR Fox in his continued pursuit of becoming the greatest Pure Champ of all-time! In addition tonight's spotlight falls on the tag team division as ROH World Tag Team Champions Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara meet the Frat House's Cole Karter and Griff Garrison on the Proving Ground, The Outrunners and Premier Athletes continue their rivalry in tag team action, The Dark Order takes on The Infantry, and Gates of Agony will be in action as well!!! ROH ON HONOR CLUB drops exclusively on Honor Club starting at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT and showcases a collection of the best pro wrestling action in the world, but that's just part of what Honor Club offers! In addition to the weekly programming every Thursday night, Honor Club is the home for 23 years of ROH history featuring the men and women who've defined professional wrestling for over two decades! Not only does Honor Club have an archive of live events dating back to 2002's THE ERA OF HONOR BEGINS, it also hosts ROH television archives dating back to June 2011, as well as a growing “Best Of...” collection that includes Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, The Briscoes, Adam Cole,  and just added in conjunction with the 15th anniversary of their THE BIG BANG! World Tag Title championship win, THE KINGS OF WRESTLING: KINGS REIGN SUPREME! ROH PURE CHAMPIONSHIP... Shane Taylor Promotions' Lee Moriarty(c) vs. AR Fox Lee Moriarty has had the Pure Championship in his grasp since DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024, and over the course of these past 251 days he's successfully defended the title five times, including a victory over Nigel McGuinness, the greatest Pure Champion of all-time, at FINAL BATTLE 2024. Tonight, in the main event of ROH ON HONOR CLUB, the purveyor of #TaigaStyle puts his title on the line once again in a first-time match against AR Fox! Not only is it a first-time contest between these two athletes, this championship fight also marks the first time AR Fox has competed under Pure Wrestling rules! Fox may have nearly 20 years of experience under his belt, but the uniqueness of the Pure Rules can put even the most seasoned of veterans to the test. They require a different take on the general way a competitor fights, and the concept of limited rope breaks certainly takes some getting used to when its a fighter's first time out. Can Fox overcome his lack of experience fighting under these rules and use his overall experience advantage over Lee Moriarty to claim his first Ring of Honor championship? Or will this be another step in Lee's continued quest to become the greatest Pure Champion in the history of ROH? PROVING GROUND... ROH World Tag Team Champions The Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara) vs. The Frat House (Cole Karter & Griff Garrison) A week ago Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara allied with Willie Mack to overcome MxM Collection  and Johnny TV. However in the aftermath of the match Mansoor and Mason Madden absconded with yet another championship title, this time the ROH World Six-Man Title belonging to Dustin Rhodes. Clearly the issues between MxM Collection, Johnny TV, Dustin Rhodes, and Sammy Guevara are continuing to grow and will likely pull The Von Erichs into the mix as they share that title with “The Natural”. However that is not the business at hand during the newest edition of ROH ON HONOR CLUB. Tonight it's about the future of the World Tag Team Championship division and who will be the next challenger for The Sons of Texas! The Frat House are fairly new to the Ring of Honor landscape as a group, but all its members are quite familiar how things get done here. They understand the concept of the Proving Ground. It might be the first time Cole Karter has stepped into the situation, but Griff Garrison has been there before for both the ROH Six-Man and ROH World Title. It would be a huge boost to the profile of this Frat House crew if they could earn themselves a World Tag Team Championship match here tonight. Last the time limit, or actually defeat the champs, and they'll have one in the bag. The fact that Griff and Karter also have the support of Preston Vance and Jacked Jameson at their side may also prove a boon to these endeavors! Will we see the next challengers to The Sons of Texas arise tonight on Honor Club? TAG TEAM ACTION... The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) vs.  Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese) With a little help from some Frat House bros, Premier Athletes' Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari scored a victory over Dark Order's Alex Reynolds and Evil Uno last week during ROH ON HONOR CLUB. As can be heard in the video embedded above, that win boosted the egos of the already overconfident unit and now they're speaking on the World Tag Team Titles. Well there's another team in the ROH landscape who'd love to wrap those belts around their chiseled waists as well, and that's the red-hot Outrunners of Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd! These two teams have been going at one another for months now, and in the six matches where they've faced off (three in ROH, three in AEW), it has been The Outrunners scoring the win each time, including in two traditional tag team affairs! While Truth and Turbo haven't competed in ROH in several weeks, they are 3-0 thus far in 2025, and coming into tonight on a seven-match win streak in Ring of Honor. That puts them among the strongest potential contenders for the ROH World Tag Titles held by The Sons of Texas, and if they add another win to that streak here tonight, Truth and Turbo will become increasingly undeniable as future challengers! TAG TEAM BOUT... Dark Order (Alex Reynolds & Evil Uno) vs. The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Capt. Shawn Dean) Then there is the case of Dark Order and the downward slide they've been experiencing for quite some time. The loss to Nese and Daivari last week stung a great deal, and the fact that it came with an assist from Preston Vance, someone they used to call a friend, made it even worse. Alex Reynolds and Evil Uno have to put that aside though and focus on the task at hand tonight, a battle with Shane Taylor Promotion's Infantry! Though Reynolds and Uno have faced Carlie Bravo and Capt. Shawn Dean before, the two teams have never clashed in a traditional two-on-two tag before tonight, and Dark Order hasn't dealt with The Infantry since they aligned themselves with Shane Taylor Promotions.  That means they haven't dealt with the potential of Shane Taylor or ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty getting involved in their business, especially when it's just Alex and Uno fending for themselves with no support having their back. Can Dark Order right the ship before it capsizes completely, or do they need to hit rock bottom in order to be reborn as a fighting force? ALSO FEATURING: -GATES OF AGONY IN ACTION! -AND MORE!!!

Thursday nights mean ROH ON HONOR CLUB is back only at WatchROH.com and we've got a tremendous collection of bouts lined up for the ROH faithful tonight! Not only will fans see Lucha de Trios action with Barbaro Cavernario, Rugido, and Volador Jr. versus Atlantis Jr., Fuego, and Titan, but also Dark Order taking on Premier Athletes in tag team action! In addition, we've got Dark Panther facing Okumura, ROH Women's World Champion Athena and her new minion Diamante in tag team action, Queen Aminata taking on Viva Van, and ROH World Tag Champions Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara uniting with Willie Mack to take on MxM Collection and Johnny TV in trios competition! ROH ON HONOR CLUB comes to you exclusively on Honor Club ( www.watchroh.com ) beginning at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT with some of the best pro wrestling action around, and that's only part of what Honor Club has to offer! In addition to the weekly programming every Thursday, Honor Club is your destination for ROH's 23 years of history featuring the competitors who've shaped pro wrestling over the last 25 years! We have live events dating back ROH's debut event THE ERA OF HONOR BEGINS from 2/23/02, as well as ROH television archives dating back to June 2011, and an ever-growing “Best Of...” collection that includes SAMOA JOE: A CHAMPIONSHIP LEGACY, THE WOMEN OF HONOR, RODERICK STRONG: MESSIAH OF THE BACKBREAKER, and more! LUCHA DE TRIOS... Barbaro Cavernario, Rugido, & Volador Jr. vs. Atlantis Jr., Fuego, & CMLL World Welterweight Champion Titan Between Lucha de Trios battles and the occasional singles bouts, the athletes of Consejo Mundial De Lucha Libre continue to impress every week on Honor Club! Last week it was Mistico, Neon, & Fuego defeating Hechicero, Rugido, & Volador Jr. and Dark Panther pushing ROH World Television Champion Komander to his limit in a title fight. This week we will see Dark Panther taking on Okumura in singles competition, and this Lucha de Trios contest pitting Atlantis Jr., Fuego & Titan against Barbaro Cavernario, Rugido & Volador Jr.! There's a good deal of history wrapped up in these teams, especially with Atlantis Jr. and CMLL World Welterweight Champion Titan as these two competitors have shared the ring on at least 71 occasions, primarily as allies, though occasionally as opponents. Titan and Fuego have shared the ring many times as well, on 42 occasions at least, and even traveled to New Japan together for the FANTASTICA MANIA events in 2014 and 2016, as well as ROAD TO POWER STRUGGLE and POWER STRUGGLE events of 2016. As for Atlantis Jr. and Fuego, well they don't have remotely near the storied connection as there's only one previous match on record where they competed as partners, and that took place way back in August of 2018. On the other side of the ring with Barbaro Cavernario, Rugido, & Volador Jr., there's definitely history binding the men together, but a good deal of it is as opposition. Barbaro Cavernario and Rugido have only united for two matches in their careers, both on the same night, as they were part of the Torneo Gran Alternativa 2021 tournament. Beyond that, Rugido, along with Los Depredadores allies such as  Volador Jr., has stood on the opposite side of the ring from Rugido three times just in 2024 and achieved victory in all three meetings. Speaking of Volador Jr., as it pertains to Barbaro, they've been in the ring with one another more than 240 times dating back to 2014 and very little of it has been fighting on the same side. They fought over the CMLL World Trios Titles twice when Barbaro was one-third of the champions, and they've battled over the CMLL World Historic Welterweight Championship during Volador Jr.'s 1,337-day second reign and during his 1,631-day third reign. So given all that history, can they exist on the same page tonight during Honor Club? We know Volador Jr. and Rugido won't have such concerns, but will Barbaro Cavernario? And if so, will that be the key to victory for CMLL World Welterweight Champion Titan, Atlantis Jr., and Fuego? TAG TEAM BATTLE... Dark Order (Alex Reynolds & Evil Uno) vs. Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese) The Dark Order has been going through it for the last several...well...months to be frank. They haven't competed on Honor Club in almost two months, none of them have been on the winning end of a match since HONOR CLUB #88, and at the moment it is just Alex Reynolds and Evil Uno left standing to represent one of All Elite Wrestling's original units. Preston Vance may be a jerk, but he's not wholly in the wrong about the current state of Dark Order. As for their foes tonight during ROH ON HONOR CLUB, Premier Athletes have not been the most successful as of late either. It's been since HONOR CLUB #80 that they've garnered a victory, and they've been down Josh Woods since the end of 2024. Suffice to say this tag team contest here tonight is a battle of groups needing to get themselves back on track in Ring of Honor, and though Premier Athletes and Dark Order have shared the ring on many occasions in both ROH and AEW, this is a first-time traditional tag match-up with these particular combinations.  Which team will break out of the funk they've been in these last few months? Tune into Honor Club tonight to find out! TRIOS BOUT... ROH World Tag Team Champions The Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara) and Willie Mack vs. Johnny TV & MxM Collection (Mansoor & Mason Madden) The animosity between The Sons of Texas and MxM Collection hasn't abated despite Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara successfully defending the ROH World Tag Team Titles against them at GLOBAL WARS: AUSTRALIA. Mason Madden and Mansoor are intent on taking the titles from the champions, be it legitimately or just by absconding with the belts if possible, and that mission continues tonight in the form of trios action! MxM look to their catwalk confidant Johnny TV for help in this bout while The Sons of Texas tag in unlikely ally Willie Mack to round out their unit! Mack brings some hard-hitting power to this fight as a counter to Johnny TV's amazing athletic abilities, but will it be enough to top this trendy trio? What will it take for Rhodes and Guevara to finally rid themselves of MxM Collection forever? ONE-ON-ONE... Dark Panther vs. Okumura Last week Dark Panther may have come up short in his bid to claim the ROH World Television Championship from Komander, but he is getting right back in the saddle tonight with a man who recently celebrated his 30th anniversary in wrestling: Okumura! It's been five and a half years since Okumura last stepped into an ROH ring, and he's doing so with his first-ever ROH singles match against a man with whom he's got quite the extensive history. Okumura and Dark Panther have been entwined in each other's careers for over a decade now, battling all across Mexico for CMLL, and even in Japan for the FANTASICA MANIA events co-promoted with New Japan Pro Wrestling. Yet with more than 100 matches against each other on record, the two competitors have faced off just seven times in one-on-one bouts, with the 4-3 nod going to Okumura, and all four of those wins coming in their last four battles! Can Okumura continue that roll of success against Dark Panther when they bring their rivalry to Ring of Honor, or will Dark Panther bounce back from his loss last week with renewed vigor? ALSO FEATURING: -Queen Aminata vs. Viva Van! -ROH Women's World Champion Athena & Diamante in tag action!
