  • ROH on Honor Club Episode 95 Preview

    FINAL BATTLE 2024 is just 24 hours away and will hail from the iconic Hammerstein Ballroom in the heart of New York City! It's a venue that Ring of Honor cemented as a professional wrestling destination with 24 events inside its walls beginning with A NEW LEVEL on May 10, 2008 and culminating in MANHATTAN MAYHEM 2019 on July 20th. Tomorrow night ROH returns to those hallowed grounds for its year-end extravaganza, but there's still one more night of action before that comes to pass! Tonight during ROH ON HONOR CLUB we will see ROH Women's World Champion Athena team up with her FB '24 opponent Billie Starkz in tag team action, plus we've got a huge 8-Man Tag Team battle lined up as Shane Taylor Promotions and Grizzled Young Veterans unite to face Dark Order and Undisputed Kingdom! Also, after falling to Gates of Agony's Toa Liona last week, LEEJ's Lee Johnson is getting right back in the fight with the other half of the Gates, Bishop Kaun, and ahead of his title defense at FB '24 ROH World TV Champion Brian Cage will team up with Lance Archer to face Iron Savages in tag action. We will also see Queen Aminata take on Lady Frost and SAP's Serpentico will be in action! ROH ON HONOR CLUB gets underway at 7pm ET/6pm CT only on Honor Club, your home for ROH's weekly programming, FINAL BATTLE 2024, and a plethora of the best wrestling on the planet from 20+ years of archival footage as featured in the “Best of ROH” section! We've got a comprehensive collection of bouts from Chris Hero, “The Fallen Angel” Christopher Daniels, Bryan Danielson, Matt Taven, and The Briscoes on-hand, as well as so much more! After taking in Thursday night's action, join us in NYC as ROH retakes the Hammerstein Ballroom for FINAL BATTLE 2024! EIGHT-MAN TAG TEAM BOUT... Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson) and Shane Taylor Promotions (ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty & Shane Taylor) vs. Dark Order (Alex Reynolds & Evil Uno) and Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett) Are they better than this? That is the question Evil Uno seems to want Alex Reynolds and John Silver to answer about themselves as of late. It seems Uno is sick of the shenanigans, tired of seeing Dark Order sustain far more losses than victories, and wants his two compatriots to be on the same page. The fact John and Alex have chosen to target Grizzled Young Veterans with their antics for having the audacity to be serious about their craft seems to have especially rubbed Evil Uno the wrong way. Perhaps that's why Uno is putting himself in as Alex's partner for this match, the first time they've been tag partners since an HONOR CLUB #82 World Tag Title Proving Ground match against The Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara). Perhaps it's also why he is reuniting with Undisputed Kingdom for this 8-Man Tag, their first time as a foursome since HONOR CLUB #78 when they fell to The Sons of Texas and The Von Erichs (Ross & Marshall). Standing across the ring from this motley crew will be the combination of Shane Taylor Promotions, as represented by ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty and Shane Taylor, along with Grizzled Young Veterans of Zack Gibson and James Drake! It was just one week ago that Matt Taven fell to Lee Moriarty in an ROH Pure Championship bout, and just about two months ago that UK defeated STP and Gates of Agony in a Three-Way tag on RAMPAGE. But with that loss to Moriarty hanging over Taven's head, as well as the bit of internal strife within Dark Order, is it possible for Undisputed Kingdom and Dark Order to pull off this victory? Given that Lee Moriarty is staring down an Open Challenge for his ROH Pure Title tomorrow at FINAL BATTLE 2024, he is certainly fighting this bout with a point to prove to whoever steps up to the table inside Hammerstein Ballroom! TAG TEAM BOUT... ROH Women's World Champion Athena & Billie Starkz in action! What a long strange trip it has been in the relationship between ROH Women's World Champion Athena and her FINAL BATTLE 2024 challenger Billie Starkz. One year ago, on the final episode of ROH ON HONOR CLUB before FINAL BATTLE 2023 (#42 to be exact), fans watched as the two women threw down following Athena's 33-second Proving Ground victory over Roxanne, culminating in the champion's nose being gruesomely busted open and the final image we see being that of Starkz holding up the title belt.  Fast forward one year and Athena remains the ROH Women's World Champion, Starkz having failed in her FB '23 challenge, and “The Fallen Goddess” going on to shatter Samoa Joe's 21-year record as the longest reigning champion in the history of Ring of Honor. Heading into tonight's edition of HONOR CLUB, Athena has 740 days as champion under her belt with the potential to complete two calendar years as champion should she leave tomorrow night's FINAL BATTLE 2024 event still the champion.  During that time frame Starkz fought proudly as a Minion, even won the ROH Women's World TV Title at SUPERCARD OF HONOR 2024 in Philadelphia in a manner that, while not appropriate in the eyes of her parents at ringside, certainly suited the ideals of “The Fallen Goddess”. Billie was all in on Athena even after Athena stopped being all in on her after Starkz lost the title to Red Velvet in her first defense at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024.  Tensions have been building ever since that night five months ago, and it finally came to a head last week when Athena stole the win from Billie (who was stealing it from Leyla Hirsch to be honest) in the WRESTLE DYNASTY 2025 International Women's Cup Qualifier. Billie issued the challenge for the fight at FINAL BATTLE 2024 tomorrow night, but given that she's still a contractually obligated minion there are certain duties that must be fulfilled, and that includes teaming up with Athena tonight during HONOR CLUB in tag team action! How will these two women co-exist tonight given their impending fight tomorrow and all the tension that's been building up since July? We'll find out tonight on WatchROH.com when HONOR CLUB goes live at 7pm ET! ONE-ON-ONE... LEEJ's Lee Johnson vs. Gates of Agony's Bishop Kaun Last week on HONOR CLUB #94, “Big Shotty” Lee Johnson stepped up to Gates of Agony's Toa Liona in singles competition and though Lee gave it everything he could, the monstrous Toa demolished Johnson. Unfortunately Toa showed himself to be quite the dishonorable athlete after the bout as, when Lee called for the Code of Honor handshake, Toa attacked the man rather than shake his hand. That brought out one of the few men in ROH who dwarfs Toa Liona, Lee Johnson's tag team partner EJ Nduka! The face-to-face between those two behemoths was something to behold, perhaps a sign of things to come, but tonight it's Lee Johnson stepping into competition against GOA once again, this time opposite Bishop Kaun in his first-ever ROH singles match! It's quite wild to think that a man who first debuted for Ring of Honor the day after FINAL BATTLE 2018, and is a 3-Time World Six-Man Champion, is only now having his first singles match. Will he fare as well as his partner did against “Big Shotty” or will Lee Johnson hand the Cameroonian Prince an “L” in his first singles outing? TAG TEAM ACTION... Murder Machines (ROH World TV Champion Brian Cage & Lance Archer) vs. Iron Savages (Bronson & Boulder) With a Survival of the Fittest Six-Man Elimination championship defense scheduled for tomorrow night, ROH World TV Champion “The Machine” Brian Cage enters into tag team action alongside his Don Callis Family partner “The Murderhawk Monster” Lance Archer! In AEW competition this team dubbed Murder Machines are 3-0 in tag team action, but this is their first foray into ROH action after their dominating performance in the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royale two weeks ago on DYNAMITE. The unlucky recipients of their violence will be the Iron Savages of Bronson and Boulder, a duo who may be powerful in their own right, but are going to need to find a whole new level of sauce to sip if they want to match what Murder Machines brings to the fight. It's going to be one of the toughest tests Iron Savages have ever faced; can they shock the world with the upset victory or will this serve as a warning to both the tag team division and the other five men in the World TV Title match at FINAL BATTLE 2024? CARDONA/JERICHO UPDATE... “The Nueve” Chris Jericho shockingly appeared at Game Changer Wrestling's HIGHEST IN THE ROOM 3 event in Los Angeles this past Saturday to attack “The Complete” Matt Cardona and give himself any kind of advantage he could ahead of their FINAL BATTLE 2024 ROH World Championship fight tomorrow inside the Hammerstein Ballroom. Tonight we expect to hear an update on the situation as the two men prepare to fight one-on-one for the first time since young Cardona scored a pinfall over Jericho in March 2016 at the Barclays Center just a few miles away from Hammerstein Ballroom. Hopefully Cardona is still in fighting shape and Jericho's attempt to garner an advantage didn't rob the fans of seeing this high stakes ROH World Championship battle! ALSO FEATURING: -Serpentico vs. Sidney Akeem! -Queen Aminata vs. Lady Frost!! -And More!

  • ROH on Honor Club Episode 94 Preview

    There are only 8 eight days left until Ring of Honor descends upon New York City and returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom for FINAL BATTLE 2024! After last week we now know that ROH World Champion “The Nueve” Chris Jericho will defend his title against “The Complete” Matt Cardona, and that The Righteous of Dutch and Vincent will face The Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara) in a Texas Bullrope Match for the ROH World Tag Team Titles! Those two bouts join the already announced ROH Women's World TV Title match between champion Red Velvet and challenger “Legit” Leyla Hirsch as part of ROH's year-end extravaganza with plenty more to unfold over the next week, especially given the championship match we've got on tap tonight! In his bid to be the first man to claim every title in ROH history, Undisputed Kingdom's Matt Taven faces ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty for the title while in a bout whose result could have ramifications on both the ROH Women's World Title and the aforementioned Women's World TV Title bout, Athena, Red Velvet, Leyla Hirsch, and Billie Starkz collide in the ROH bracket of the WRESTLE DYNASTY 2025 International Women's Cup qualifiers! Plus, The Outrunners are in action against Premier Athletes of Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari, Gates of Agony's Toa Liona enters into a rare singles match with “Big Shotty” Lee Johnson, The Sons of Texas throwdown in tag team action, and the Grizzled Young Veterans defend their NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag Titles against MxM Collection! ROH ON HONOR CLUB airs exclusively on Honor Club every Thursday night at 7pm ET/6pm CT, and is also the home for FINAL BATTLE 2024 on December 20th, live from the Hammerstein Ballroom in the heart of New York City, as well as the home for 20+ years of wrestling history perfectly illustrated by the “Best of ROH” section. There fans can watch collections showcasing the best bouts from Claudio Castagnoli, Matt Taven, Samoa Joe, the numerous guests from Japan who've graced the ROH ring, and so much more from the combatants who shaped Ring of Honor into the most influential wrestling promotion of the last 20 years! ROH PURE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH... Shane Taylor Promotions' Lee Moriarty vs. Undisputed Kingdom's Matt Taven It's been more than 15 years since Matt Taven stepped into an ROH ring for the very first time. That night it was as part of a dark match prior to the NEVER SAY DIE event highlighted by Chris Hero challenging Jerry Lynn for the ROH World Championship, but that also included Jay Briscoe, Colt Cabana, Sonjay Dutt, and Bryan Danielson to name a few of ROH's world class competitors circa May 2009. It was participating on that event, watching what those competitors were capable of doing, that made ROH a career goal for a young Taven. Fast forward 15+ years and Matt Taven holds the distinction of being a Grand Slam winner in ROH; he claimed the ROH World TV Title from Adam Cole and held it for 287 days, he's won the World Tag Titles on three occasions with Mike Bennett and held them for a combined total of 352 days, and Taven's a 3-Time World Six-Man Champion with 304 days combined to his resume. As impressive as all those accolades are, it's perhaps most important to note that Matt Taven is also a former ROH World Champion, winning the title in a Three-Way Ladder Match at the historic G1 SUPERCARD event inside Madison Square Garden, and holding it for 174 days before RUSH ended the reign. That leaves the ROH Pure Championship as the only title in the history of the company that Matt Taven has not held, hence why he's zeroed in on it recently and thus zeroed in on Shane Taylor Promotions' Lee Moriarty. Lee has been the champion since DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024 when he ended Wheeler Yuta's third reign, and has defended the title twice in the 140 days since capturing the Pure crown.  It is TaigaStyle's mission to become the greatest Pure Champion of all-time, and though he's got a long haul to reach the heights set by Nigel McGuinness' 350 day reign from August 27, 2005 to August 12, 2006, Moriarty is set on taking up every challenge that comes his way. Tonight that means stepping in the ring with Matt Taven and giving it his all to insure Taven's own record-setting aspirations are dead in the water! Will we see Matt Taven make history tonight by claiming the Pure Title for himself and Undisputed Kingdom, or will Lee Moriarty retain the title as he pursues his own championship goals? WRESTLE DYNASTY 2025 INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S CUP QUALIFIER... ROH Women's World Champion Athena vs. ROH Women's World TV Champion Red Velvet vs. “Legit” Leyla Hirsch vs. Billie Starkz This Saturday on COLLISION fans will witness former AEW Women's World Champion Jamie Hayter and former TBS Champion Willow Nightingale battle it out to see who advances from the AEW bracket to WRESTLE DYNASTY 2025 on January 5th. Meanwhile down in Mexico, Zeuxis, Reyna Isis, Sanely, and Persephone will battle over the CMLL-designated spot on Friday the 13th at Arena Mexico while Stardom has yet to announce how their position in the International Women's Cup will be filled. As for Ring of Honor, that position will be determined tonight during ROH ON HONOR CLUB when four of ROH's best clash in a Four Corner Survival to determine who heads to the Tokyo Dome in just a few weeks time! ROH Women's World Champion Athena, her minion-in-training Billie Starkz, ROH Women's World TV Champion Red Velvet, and her FINAL BATTLE 2024 opponent Leyla Hirsch will clash inside that squared circle to determine the ROH representative, but it may also mean so much more than that. Athena hasn't tasted defeat in a singles match since she entered this era of honor at FINAL BATTLE 2022 and has beaten all three of her opponents in World Title bouts over the course of those two years. Red Velvet is the woman who dethroned Billie Starkz as ROH Women's World TV Champion at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024 in her very first title defense, and she's also the one who eliminated Leyla Hirsch from the TV Title Tournament during HONOR CLUB #54 back in March.  There's the fact that Hirsch and Red Velvet are scheduled to face off in just eight days at FINAL BATTLE 2024, not to mention theirs is a rivalry dating back to 2020 and the Jacksonville days for All Elite Wrestling, and of course there is the very tense situation between Athena and Billie Starkz that's been building since Billie lost the title to Red back in July.  Suffice to say a lot of threads are being pulled at with this Four Corner Survival beyond the desire to fight at WRESTLE DYNASTY 2025, but how will they affect the ROH scene moving forward? What if Athena gets pinned for the first time in two years? What if Leyla scores the fall on Red Velvet eight days before their title fight? What if it's Billie who pins Athena? What if Athena pins Leyla or vice versa? How will the outcome here affect the two title pictures after FINAL BATTLE 2024? So much intrigue in addition to the honor of being the Ring of Honor representative at WRESTLE DYNASTY 2025 come January 5th!  CONTRACT SIGNING... The challenge for FINAL BATTLE 2024 was laid out by ROH World Champion Chris Jericho and shockingly answered by “The Complete” Matt Cardona, but it's not official until pen gets put to paper regardless of the heinous assault Jericho perpetrated on Cardona last Friday night on RAMPAGE. That's why tonight, ahead of Cardona fighting “Bad Apple” Bryan Keith on this week's RAMPAGE, the ROH World Champion and his FINAL BATTLE 2024 challenger will sign their names on the dotted line tonight during ROH ON HONOR CLUB! Contract signings in pro wrestling are notoriously explosive, but will that be the case tonight when these two combatants stand face-to-face and sign their John Hancocks to make December 20th's championship match official? NJPW STRONG OPENWEIGHT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH... Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson) vs.  MxM COLLECTION (Mansoor & Mason Madden) On November 8th at NJPW's FIGHTING SPIRIT UNLEASHED 2024 event, Grizzled Young Veterans of James Drake and Zack Gibson defeated TMDK of Mikey Nicholls and Shane Haste to claim the NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag Titles as their own, ending the TMDK run at 152 days. Now the hardest part of being champion begins, retaining the titles in the face of tremendous adversity, and the first adversaries GYV face will be MxM Collection of Mansoor and Mason Madden tonight on Honor Club! Not only is it the first defense of these titles for Drake and Gibson, but it's also their first traditional tag bout in Ring of Honor as well as their first meeting with MxM Collection! That makes this quite the high-pressure situation, especially with FINAL BATTLE 2024 just eight days away and GYV set to defend the titles at NJPW STRONG STYLE EVOLVED 2024 this Sunday night in Long Beach, CA against West Coast Wrecking Crew of Royce Isaacs and Jorel Nelson! Can Mansoor and Mason Madden slide in to these dm's and steal the titles away from Zack Gibson and James Drake before they get to California? It's a huge opportunity for MxM Collection to sneak their way into New Japan competition for the very first time; can they pull it off tonight on Honor Club? TAG TEAM BOUT... The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) vs.  Premier Athletes (Ariya Daviari & Tony Nese) The Outrunners of Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum are running hot, coming into tonight's edition of ROH ON HONOR CLUB with three consecutive tag team victories, most recently defeating The Infantry on HONOR CLUB #84 several weeks ago. Tonight, for the very first time, the youngest men alive head into tag team battle against Premier Athletes as represented by Ariya Daivari and Tony Nese! During AEW's WRESTLEDREAM 2024: ZERO HOUR, Turbo and Truth united with The Conglomeration's Kyle O'Reilly and Orange Cassidy to defeat the quartet of Daivari, Nese, and the Dark Order's Alex Reynolds & John Silver, but tonight will be their first traditional tag team encounter! Will The Outrunners keep the momentum going here in Ring of Honor, or will “Smart” Mark Sterling's clients live up to their tag team name? ONE-ON-ONE... Gates of Agony's Toa Liona vs. LEEJ's Lee Johnson For just the second time in his ROH career, Gates of Agony member Toa Liona will be in singles competition tonight on Honor Club! The competitor tasked with stepping up to this monster is none other than “Big Shotty” Lee Johnson, a man who has won five of his last six bouts, including three straight tag team victories with the impressive EJ Nduka at his side! Together as LEEJ, those two competitors have vibed exceptionally well, but will that tag team success rub off onto Lee's solo outing against the Gates of Agony's monster? ALSO FEATURING: -ROH World Tag Team Champions Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara in action! -Madison Rayne in singles competition! -And More!
