  • New ROH World Tag Team Champions Crowned

    ROH World Tag Team Championship Match! Undisputed Kingdom—Matt Taven & Mike Bennett (c) vs. ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champion “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes & “Spanish God” Sammy Guevara! Mike Bennett avoided an uppercut from Dustin and countered with a thrust kick. Sammy tagged in and wiped out the Undisputed Kingdom with a big cross body press from the top turnbuckle. Sammy flipped over the top with a tope con hiro onto Taven! The fans chanted “Sammy! Sammy! Sammy!” The Kingdom showed why they are ROH World Tag Team champions, isolating Sammy in the corner and keeping him from making the tag to Dustin. Somehow Sammy found the strength to take down Taven with a Spanish Fly! Dustin grabbed a tag and the big Texan clobbered Bennett with a variety of offense! Dustin spiked Taven with a Canadian Destroyer! Dustin planted Taven with the Cross Rhodes, but Bennett jumped in to break up the pin attempt. Rhodes smashed Bennett with a Cross Rhodes! The Beast Mortos and Roderick Strong ran down to the ring. The Beast distracted the referee so Roddy could interfere with the Sick Kick on Dustin! Marshall and Ross Von Erich sprinted to the ring and applied the Iron Claw onto Roddy and the Beast Mortos! Brian Cage and the Gates of Agony ran down and began to brawl with the Von Erichs. The Conglomeration joined the melee, and the teams brawled to the back. Meanwhile in the ring, Bennett and Taven were looking for a spiked piledriver on Dustin. But Sammy knocked Taven from the top! Dustin drilled Bennett with a spinning suplex, and Sammy put a statement at the end of the sentence with a frog splash! Dustin covered Bennett and pinned Bennett! And we have new Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions— “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes and the “Spanish God” Sammy Guevara! The fans chanted “You deserve it! You deserve it!” “Dustin Rhodes is a double champion in Ring of Honor!” said Tony Schiavone.

  • ROH on HonorClub Episode 77 Preview

    It's Thursday night and that means it is time for another edition of ROH ON HONOR CLUB, coming your way exclusively at WatchROH.com, and featuring three championship matches, a Proving Ground match, and plenty more action featuring a collection of the best pro wrestling going today! ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe puts his title on the line against Johnny TV, ROH World Television Champion Atlantis Jr. faces a challenge from New Japan in TMDK's Robbie Eagles, and ROH World Six-Man Champions Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erichs make the second defense of their championship. Plus ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty faces Action Andretti on the Proving Ground, Serpentico tries to reclaim his mask from Griff Garrison, we will hear from ROH Women's World Champion Athena, and so much more on tap for Honor Club!  This jam-packed night of championship action gets underway at 7pm ET/6pm CT exclusively on Honor Club, the home for Ring of Honor's weekly episodes every Thursday night, as well as ROH's massive library featuring twenty-plus years of wrestling history including Bryan Danielson, Adam Cole, The Briscoes, Jay Lethal, Sara Del Rey, Madison Rayne, Samoa Joe, and more!! ROH WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH... Mark Briscoe(c) vs. Johnny TV Coming off his victory over Roderick Strong at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024, Mark Briscoe is right back into the fight tonight on Honor Club when he steps into the ring with the ever-dangerous Johnny TV with the ROH World Championship on the line! Johnny heads into this one following a victory over Fuego Del Sol last week, and a hunger to claim any ROH championship after coming so close to the ROH World TV Championship at DBD '24. Lucky for him Ring of Honor has a fighting champion at the helm in Mark Briscoe and he's willing to lay his championship on the line against any one brave enough to step up to the plate! That's why tonight in Arlington, it will be Mark Briscoe making the third defense of his ROH World Title reign against Johnny TV in their first-ever meeting! It's a huge opportunity for a world-traveled, TV ready man like Johnny, but is he ready for the kind of fight one of Dem Boyz brings? ROH WORLD TV CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH... Atlantis Jr.(c) vs. TMDK's Robbie Eagles Atlantis Jr. went through it at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024 in an effort to retain his ROH World Television Championship. With five men vying for the title around his waist in Survival of the Fittest 2024, the luchador was the last man standing after nearly twenty minutes of non-stop action, pinning “The Machine” Brian Cage to remain TV Champion. Tonight he's back in action, putting his title on the line once again, this time against TMDK representative Robbie Eagles who made his victorious return to Ring of Honor competition last week for the first time in over a year. A former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion for New Japan Pro Wrestling, Eagles is a threat to any title holder, and now we've got another first-time match on our hands with this Eagles/Atlantis clash that's quite an exciting prospect! Can Atlantis Jr. successfully retain his title for a third time, or will it change hands from a CMLL competitor to one from NJPW? ROH WORLD SIX-MAN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH... Dustin Rhodes & The Von Erich (Marshall & Ross)(c) vs. Cage of Agony (Brian Cage, Toa Liona, & Bishop Kaun) Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erichs have been busy men these last couple weeks; after winning their Eliminator Match at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024 to earn a spot in the ROH World Six-Man Championship match, they made the most of the moment and defeated Undisputed Kingdom at BATTLE OF THE BELTS XI to become the new champions. Just five days later that trio from Texas made the first defense of their newly won titles against Iron Savages, then last week Dustin teamed up with Sammy Guevara to beat Dark Order in tag team action.  This Thursday night Rhodes is right back in action alongside Marshall and Ross to defend the ROH World Six-Man Championship once again, this time against former champions Cage of Agony! Brian Cage, Toa Liona, and Bishop Kaun are 2-Time Six-Man Champions, with a combined 351 days between their reigns, with a total of eleven defenses, nine of which came during their first reign, making them one of the most successful six-man units to hold the titles since their inception at FINAL BATTLE 2016. Only one team has held these titles on three occasions, The Kingdom of Matt Taven, Vinny Marsegila, and TK O'Ryan. Can Cage of Agony become the second unit to accomplish that feat, or will the Rhodes-Von Erich legacy continue to grow tonight on Honor Club? ONE-ON-ONE... Ariya Daivari vs. Katsuyori Shibata Katsuyori Shibata has his hands full dealing with “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho, “Bad Apple” Bryan Keith, and “The Redwood” Big Bill, but now that HOOK is back in action, he's got some help on that front. That doesn't mean he's not willing to show up on the Ring of Honor stage to teach a lesson to another group of individuals who insist on running their mouths in the Premier Athletes. “The Wrestler” has tangled with “Smart” Mark Sterling's clients before, on the June 22nd edition of COLLISION he, Samoa Joe, and HOOK took them down in Trios competition, he also defended the ROH Pure Title against Josh Woods, but this is the first time he's taken on Daivari in singles competition. Now Ariya certainly lives up to his billing as a Premier Athlete, his fitness is off the charts, he's strong, his cardio conditioning is stellar, but he's up against a man in Shibata who is as deadly on the mat as he is with his strikes. Being dubbed “The Wrestler” in a world full of them means he's the best at what he does, and what he does is commit violent acts to those in the ring with him. Will Ariya regret taking this match against Shibata when he wakes up tomorrow morning? GRUDGE MATCH... Griff Garrison (w/ Maria) vs. SAP's Serpentico This is it, Serpentico finally has an opportunity to get his mask back from the clutches of Maria and Griff Garrison! This rivalry has been raging on for months now, but tonight on Honor Club it finally comes to a head but with the entire identity of Serpentico at stake. As heard in the video embedded above, Serpentico agreed to take this match on at the risk of permanently losing his mask! Not the one Maria is threatening to turn into a purse, but any mask he could possibly put over his face when he steps into the squared circle. That's right, if Serpentico loses this fight, he will have to de-mask in front of the whole world and never compete with one on again! Will this be the biggest mistake of Serpentico's wrestling career, or the biggest victory of his life? Tune into Honor Club later tonight to find out! PROVING GROUND MATCH... ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty vs. Action Andretti Almost since the moment Lee Moriarty signed on with Shane Taylor Promotions, there have been issues with Top Flight and Action Andretti. They battled on HONOR CLUB #37 last year, they went into Trios competition on the July 12th edition of RAMPAGE, and they've exchanged plenty of words in that time. Yet this is the first time that Lee Moriarty and Action Andretti will go one-on-one, and it was the Pure Champion who chose to up the ante by putting the Pure Title into the mix! If Andretti can last the ten minute time limit with Moriarty, or actually defeat Lee in that time, he will earn a future shot at the Pure Championship! That's how Moriarty got his shot against Wheeler Yuta at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024, going the distance with Yuta in a Proving Ground, perhaps Action Andretti will do the same tonight on Honor Club! ALSO FEATURING: -Words from ROH Women's World Champion “The Fallen Goddess” Athena! -Harley Cameron vs. Viva Van! -Blake Christian vs. Lio Rush -Anthony Henry & Beef in action!

  • ROH on HonorClub Episode 76 Preview

    The athletes of Ring of Honor are back in action this week on Honor Club, and for the very first time that includes 3-Time TNT Champion “The Spanish God” Sammy Guevara! He arrived on the ROH stage last week, coming to the aid of “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes as he was being assaulted by Dark Order. It was a shock not just because Sammy was appearing on ROH programming for the first time, but also because the history between Rhodes and Guevara is far from friendly. Yet here we are, Sammy and Dustin teaming up for the first time ever to take on Alex Reynolds and John Silver! That's not all on tap for the ROH faithful tonight either; Undisputed Kingdom defends the ROH World Tag Titles against The Infantry, Taya Valkyrie and Johnny TV will each be in singles competition, TMDK's Robbie Eagles is in the house for a fight, The Outrunners will be in action, and former ROH World TV Champion Tomohiro Ishii is in singles competition against Premier Athlete Tony Nese! The action begins promptly at 7pm ET/6pm CT exclusively on Honor Club , your home for Ring of Honor's weekly presentation every Thursday night, as well as the massive library featuring over twenty years of the most influential professional wrestling promotion of this century! TAG TEAM BATTLE... “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes & “The Spanish God” Sammy Guevara It was an utter shock to see former 3-Time TNT Champion Sammy Guevara show up on Honor Club last week, it was even more of a shock that he did so to help Dustin Rhodes against Dark Order. The history of “The Natural” and “The Spanish God” is fraught with fighting, from their last time in a ring together battling over the vacant TNT Title to their pair of singles bouts in 2020 to their tag team bout on the second-ever edition of DYNAMITE, there has been nothing but bad blood.  Yet Guevara seems to want something better for his future than what he's created in the past, especially given that he's got an example to set for his child. Guevara wants to earn the respect of Rhodes, of the Von Erichs, and show them that he is genuine about being a better man moving forward.  That means stepping into the ring tonight at Dustin's side and proving it inside the squared circle against one of the most experienced tag teams in Ring of Honor, the Dark Order combination of Alex Reynolds and John Silver! Reynolds and Silver have been partners for thirteen years, giving them a huge experience advantage over two men whose only shared time has been at each other's throats, but Sammy's hunger to prove himself, his excitement over competing in his first match since February, will undoubtedly be a huge factor in this contest, just as Rhodes' momentum after capturing the ROH World Six-Man Titles will be! Will this Texas Connection prove a fruitful tonight on Honor Club, or will Dark Order's experience advantage be the crucial difference? On top of that, can Dustin Rhodes actually trust Sammy Guevara to have his back if the chips are down? ROH WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH... Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett)(c) vs.  The Infantry (Capt. Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo) Undisputed Kingdom and The Infantry are no strangers to one another; since the very first edition of ROH ON HONOR CLUB on March 2nd of 2023 these four men have been doing this dance. That opening battle in their never-ending war went in favor of Matt Taven and Mike Bennett, as did the rematch three months later, but Capt. Shawn Dean and Carlie Bravo finally got their first notch in the win column three weeks later. That wasn't the end of it though, not even close, because then Leyla Hirsch and Trish Adora became involved in the dynamic, creating a Mixed Trios bout won by Taven, Bennett, and Hirsch and leading to cessation of hostilities between the parties. That all changed after Taven and Bennett formed Undisputed Kingdom, won the ROH World Tag Team Titles, and thus becoming the target for every team in Ring of Honor. The Infantry came calling once again, firing the opening salvo in this new iteration of their war when they went the distance with Taven and Bennett on HONOR CLUB #58 in a Proving Ground match. As the first team to do so against Bennett and Taven during this third reign of theirs, The Infantry got their shot at SUPERCARD OF HONOR 2024 in Philadelphia and were robbed of that opportunity by the typical tactics of Undisputed Kingdom.  Ever resilient, The Infantry rebounded from that frustration with four consecutive victories on Honor Club and are now in line to make the most of that momentum tonight in Arlington with this championship rematch! Can Carlie Bravo and Capt. Shawn Dean finally achieve the goal they've been chasing since their ROH day one, or will the 3-Time Tag Champions shut this operation down again and retain the titles for the fifth time? ONE-ON-ONE... Johnny TV vs. Fuego Del Sol Two weeks ago Fuego Del Sol made his victorious ROH debut as part of a wild ten-man tag alongside Top Flight, Action Andretti, and Komander and followed that up one week later by scoring a win over Jacoby Watts. Tonight during HONOR CLUB, Fuego is back in action for the third straight week, this time taking on Johnny TV in singles competition! After coming so close to winning the ROH World Television Title at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024, Johnny TV wants to get right back into the spotlight with a victory here, but Fuego Del Sol isn't going to make it easy for Mister TV Ready!  SINGLES MATCH... The Conglomeration's Tomohiro Ishii vs. Premier Athletes' Tony Nese A former ROH World Television Champion himself, Tomohiro Ishii made his return to Ring of Honor at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024 after five years away! Though he and Kyle O'Reilly, another returning ROH alumni, were unable to claim the World Tag Titles from Undisputed Kingdom, it was a strong reintroduction for Ishii to the ROH faithful. Tonight during HONOR CLUB, Ishii is right back at it, taking part in his first ROH singles match since SUPERCARD OF HONOR XII back in 2019, this time against the Premier Athletes' Tony Nese! On the July 27th edition of COLLISION Ishii, along with his Conglomeration partners ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe and O'Reilly, bested The Premier Athletes in a trios match so Nese is coming to even the score in Arlington! Will “The Stone Pitbull” be successful in his return to ROH singles competition, or will it be Nese and his ilk who manage to even the score with The Conglomeration? ALSO IN ACTION! -“The Main Character” Taya Valkyrie! -Rachael Ellering!! -The Outrunners of Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd! -TMDK's Robbie Eagles!

  • ROH on HonorClub Episode 75 Preview

    DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024 was a tremendous night of action this past Friday in Arlington, and with it came the crowning of two new ROH champions! In the ROH Pure Title clash between 3-Time champion Wheeler Yuta and Lee Moriarty, it was #TaigaStyle who found a way to end the 244-day reign of the Blackpool Combat Club member. Then in the ROH Women's World Television Championship match, Billie Starkz fell to Red Velvet in the champion's very first title defense since claiming the crown at SUPERCARD OF HONOR 2024 in April! In the other title affairs, all champions were able to maintain their titles, even ROH World TV Champion Atlantis Jr. who had to outlast five other men in the Survival of the Fittest bout. Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erich won an Eliminator Match over Dark Order to earn their spot in the ROH World Six-Man Title fight against Undisputed Kingdom at BATTLE OF THE BELTS XI, and the Texas-born trio made the most of it by becoming the new Six-Man Champions! Then there was the unforgettable Texas Death Match between Leyla Hirsch and Diamante that deserves to go down as one of the most memorable bouts in ROH's history! But not that DBD '24 is in the past, it's time for Ring of Honor to move forward into the future, and that means getting right back into action tonight on Honor Club! Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erichs aim to be fighting champions as they put their Six-Man Titles on the line against Iron Savages and Jacked Jameson while Wheeler Yuta looks to bounce back from his title loss in a match against the hard-striking Anthony Henry. Plus, Brian Cage squares off against Rocky Romero, The Beast Mortos follows up his night on DYNAMITE with a fight against AR Fox, The Premier Athletes will be in action, Fuego Del Sol returns to face Jacoby Watts, and so much more! It gets underway at 7pm ET/6pm CT exclusively on Honor Club , your home for Ring of Honor's weekly presentation every Thursday night, as well as the massive library featuring over twenty years of the most influential professional wrestling promotion of this century! ROH WORLD SIX-MAN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH... Dustin Rhodes & The Von Erich (Marshall & Ross)(c) vs. Iron Savages (Boulder, Bronson, & Jacked Jameson) On Friday night's DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024 event, Dustin Rhodes, Marshall Von Erich, and Ross Von Erich took their first step towards the ROH World Six-Man Championship when the bested Dark Order. That win put them in position to fight Undisputed Kingdom of Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, and Mike Bennett just twenty-four hours later at BATTLE OF THE BELTS XI, and the trio from Texas made the most of the opportunity, leading all to their first-ever Ring of Honor championship, and most importantly, Dustin to his first title in nearly a decade! It was an emotional moment for “The Natural”, just as it was for Marshall and Ross as they got to share it with their father Kevin, and though it is something all three men will likely feel for some time to come, they're already getting right back to the grind tonight on Honor Club! With an intention to be fighting champions, Dustin and The Von Erichs will put their newly won Six-Man Titles on the line against Iron Savages of Bronson and Boulder, and their running buddy Jacked Jameson! It's been over a year since the last time Iron Savages and Jameson challenged for the titles, a losing effort against The Mogul Embassy on HONOR CLUB #22, and to say their success rate hasn't been the greatest would be an understatement. It's not a testament to their ability, these three are a collection of the strongest men in ROH, and together they are capable of great things, it's just a matter of putting it all together to live up to their potential. Tonight would be the ideal night for Jameson, Bronson, and Boulder to finally gel into the dominant monster they have the potential to become, and if they can, we will be looking at new ROH World Six-Man Champions! ONE-ON-ONE... Wheeler Yuta vs. Anthony Henry Just a few days ago Wheeler Yuta stood as the defending 3-Time ROH Pure Champion, a feat unmatched by anyone else in the history of that title, a title no one else had even held on two occasions for that matter, but by the end of the night at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024, he was dethroned by Shane Taylor Promotions' Lee Moriarty. It happens, no one reigns forever, but Wheeler can find pride in the fact his 244 days as Pure Champion mark him as the third-longest reigning title holder of all-time. In the aftermath of such a loss there are two choices for an individual, either wallow in the misery of loss or dust yourself up and try again, and knowing the heart of The Blackpool Combat Club, Wheeler Yuta is going to choose the latter.  So tonight on Honor Club Yuta begins that process of picking himself back up when he squares off with a man he's only faced once before, in tag team competition at that, one-half of The Workhorsemen: Anthony Henry! With his partner JD Drake out recovering from injury, Henry has been looking for where he fits in the scheme of things, partnering up with assorted individuals over the last couple months, but nothing quite fitting like JD Drake. Perhaps the ticket for Anthony Henry isn't finding other individuals to unite with but rather to go it alone until his tag partner returns, and show the ROH faithful the skill that have brought him championship success across the independent wrestling landscape over the last twenty years. Henry is a nasty striker, a tremendous grappler, with skills that match-up wonderfully against a competitor like Yuta, and he is going to give the former 3-Time Pure Champ a run for his money tonight on Honor Club! SINGLES MATCH... “The Machine” Brian Cage vs. “Azucar” Rocky Romero Brian Cage was moments away from claiming the ROH World Television Champion from Atlantis Jr. at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024 this past Friday night. After eliminating both Lee Johnson and Johnny TV from the Survival of the Fittest contest, “The Machine” seemed poised to put the defending champion down and become the 33rd World TV Champion, but fate had other things in mind and Atlantis Jr. escaped Arlington that night with the championship still in his possession. Brian Cage thought he had it, thought he was leaving the Esports Stadium with his first ROH singles title, instead he is stepping into this match with Rocky Romero without a championship around his waist. To say that makes “The Machine” angry would be underselling it, and he aims to make the former multi-time ROH World Tag Champion suffer for what he lost on Saturday! ONE-ON-ONE... The Beast Mortos vs. AR Fox The Beast Mortos has been a busy man these last few days; from competing in the Royal Rampage on AEW RAMPAGE last Friday, to taking on Komander at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024, then Hologram at COLLISION, and The Conglomeration just last night on DYNAMITE! In each instance he has demonstrated himself to be an utter force of nature inside the squared circle, especially in that victory over Komander last Friday night! Tonight he returns to ROH ON HONOR CLUB action for the first time since an April 25th Three Way bout where he pinned AR Fox to score the victory. Appropriately enough, his opponent for tonight's Honor Club offering will also be AR Fox, but this time it one-on-one, giving Fox a chance at redemption for that loss three months ago! ONE-ON-ONE... Robyn Renegade vs. Maya World Last year, on HONOR CLUB #43, Maya World stepped into a ROH ring for the first time to face ROH Women's World Champion Athena on the Proving Ground. The most interesting facet of this match-up wasn't Maya making her debut, but rather that she was doing so against her trainer with a  potential World Championship fight on the line. Maya was unsuccessful in her bid, but she impressed enough that the young competitor returned two weeks later to take on Queen Aminata.  Taking those two experiences to heart, Maya spent the first half of 2024 competing as much as she could against as many opponents as possible. California, Massachusetts, Florida, Texas, New Jersey, and even Philadelphia, she garnered experience wherever possible and returned to ROH competition a few weeks ago to face one of her trainer's most persistent foes in Red Velvet. Again, victory was not in the cards that night, but it was invaluable experience regardless of how things went. As for Robyn Renegade, she's been fighting since the very first episode of ROH ON HONOR CLUB to better herself and figure out what it takes to become one of the best in the game. Whether it be alongside her sister Charlette, or fighting solo, Robyn has stepped into the ring with the best competition around over the last 18 months and doesn't plan to stop putting in the work until she's at the top of the ROH Women's Division just as her mentor Thunder Rosa is the AEW Women's Division.  ALSO FEATURING: -Fuego Del Sol vs. Jacoby Watts -The Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese) vs. Supastarz (Nikkie Eight & Tommy Mars) -Top Flight in tag team action!

Yuta put Lee in the cattle mutilation and Lee had to use his third and final rope break! Lee Moriarty hoisted up Wheeler over the top rope and dumped him hard on the ring apron! Yuta locked Moriarty in an arm bar. Moriarty grabbed the ropes for leverage, turned Yuta over, and cradled him for the pin! “That was perfectly legal to use the ropes as both men were out of rope breaks!” said Ian. “We have a new ROH Pure Champion!” replied Caprice.  The fans chanted “You deserve it! You deserve it!” Wheeler Yuta grabbed the championship from the referee and placed it around Lee’s waist. Yuta shook Moriarty’s hand, showing the ultimate sign of respect for the new champ.
