Mark Briscoe narrates.

“Where I’m from, man, you gotta be tough. We fight, we scratch, we claw, but we succeed. This is where I’m from. This is where I manned up. Who’s next?” The Most Wanted is used to being hunted, but the Vanilla Baby is looking to put him on ice! The Fallen Goddess makes history alongside five hungry competitors, putting the biggest target on her back yet. But will forever survive Survival of the Fittest? This is ROH Supercard of Honor!

Shane Taylor Promotions speaks.

Big Bad Shaney T says he might’ve overdone it celebrating last night, he’s still hungover. Carlie Bravo ain’t gonna lie, he’s never seen anyone drink that much. Maybe Shane needs to work on his tolerance, being all wobbly. Shane says he drank more than both of them combined. Carlie says maybe, but he feels great, Captain Dean feels great, but y’know who don’t feel great? Eddie Kingston, Mance Warner & Ortiz. Just 24 hours removed, the Kings of the Bums got introduced to the Kings of the Block, #AndStill ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions. Carlie says he was thinking, talking with Cap…

Lee Moriarty is about to be #AndStill, and longest reigning, Trish Adora about to be #AllNew, Carlie’s getting itchy! He wants to knock someone’s teeth out! So he’s thinking… Open Challenge! Any bums that want some, they can come get it. Dean says whole time, they’re out here in Salisbury, Massachusetts. Er, no Maryland. Macedonia? Doesn’t matter, ain’t no hotties here. But as long as it’s not Mance, Eddie, and Ortiz, step up! Who’s even left, though? After STP beats them down, all you gotta do is answer this: Who run it? THEM run it! Rumble, bad man, rumble! STP is feeling that good, but will their championship hangover ruin all the fun?

Josh Woods VS Nigel McGuinness!

The Technical Beast made this challenge to the living legend because he felt he had no right challenging Lee Moriarty if he couldn’t defeat one of the best ever. But Woods has shown his savagery as he’s amassed a win streak, will he continue to tear everything apart? Or will Nigel show Woods the consequences of taking liberties in this ring?

Salisbury is fired up for Nigel already as the Code of Honor is upheld. The bell rings, the fans sing “OH~ Nigel McGuinness~!” and the two feel things out. Nigel backs off, they go again, and they clinch. Nigel headlocks but Woods waistlocks, then Woods shoves Nigel to a corner. Woods grins but Nigel brushes that off. They tie up, Nigel waistlocks, but Woods wrenches and wristlocks. Nigel drops, slips through, and wristlocks back. Woods waistlocks again, but Nigel wrenches out to wristlock. Woods slips through but Nigel facelocks. Woods RAMS Nigel into the corner, but Nigel goes up and he pulls Woods’ ears!

Woods grabs the rope, so the ref calls it a ROPEBREAK! Woods is upset, but also a little impressed that Nigel got him like that. Nigel says this is brains VS brawn! The two reset, circle, and feel things out. Woods gets as leg, trips Nigel, and turns him over. Nigel fights up but Woods SLAMS him back down. Nigel fights up again, headlocks, and he holds on tight as Woods tries to power out. Woods shifts to THROW Nigel down, then drops into the crevice lock! Nigel fights as Woods puts on the pressure, and Nigel reaches out, ROPEBREAK! Woods lets go and now they’re even. “This ain’t 2007, Nigel!” The fans boo that trash talk as the two reset.

Woods and Nigel feel things out, clinch, and Nigel wrenches to WRING Woods! Nigel then YANKS the arm, and the fans rally behind him again. Nigel has a leg, then he stands on the arm, and he drops a knee on the elbow! And then he leg drops into the arm scissor. Woods endures, a fan tries to start a “U S A!” chant and Nigel says, “I know where I am, thank you very much.” The fans laugh and chant for “U K!” now. Nigel wrangles Woods, HIP DROPS the arm, then drags Woods up. Nigel snapmares Woods, top wristlocks, but Woods resists the turnover. Woods reels Nigel into a cradle, TWO! The fans cheer while Woods says it was that close.

Woods and Nigel reset, feel things out, and Woods puts Nigel in a corner. Woods CHOPS, the fans “WOO~,” but Nigel pokes Woods in the eye! The fans cheer again, and Nigel puts Woods up top. Nigel throat chops Woods, then cravats for the TOWER- NO, Woods slips off the corner to have the SLEEPER! ROPEBREAK! Woods lets Nigel go, that’s Nigel’s second already. Nigel bails out and walks off his frustration. Nigel gets the spare headset to tell commentary this isn’t working quite how he expected. But then Woods gets the other spare headset to say this match is going exactly how Woods expected.

The ref gets on commentary? He doesn’t know how either man expected this to go, but if they don’t get back in the ring, they can expect to be counted out. Wow, Ref Posey laying down the law when it isn’t Athena. The fans even chant, “We Want Wrestling!” Nigel goes to the ring and holds the ropes open for Woods, but Woods says, “You want wrestling?” “YEAH!” Woods steps inside, Nigel follows, and they reset. Nigel says check your shoe, then he ROCKS Woods! And then he uses the ref as a shield! Woods rushes up, but Nigel puts him in the ropes! ROPEBREAK! Nigel gets even with Woods and the fans cheer!

But then Woods RAMS Nigel into a corner, he and Nigel clinch, and the ref counts. Woods says he’s not doing anything, but the ref says that’s Woods’ ROPEBREAK! Now he’s out of ’em! Nigel whips, Woods reverses, and Nigel is sent tumbling out! Woods then goes out to THROW Nigel into barriers! The fans cheer while Woods ROCKS Nigel in the back! Woods scoops to RAM Nigel into barriers, and RAM him again! Woods drops Nigel, gives thumbs up to the fans, then refreshes the ring count. Woods stands Nigel up but Nigel throat chops! Woods KNEES low for it! Nigel falls over, gasps for air, and Woods brings Nigel back up.

Woods puts Nigel in the ring, talks some smack on the fans talking smack, but Nigel ELBOWS Woods! Woods gets under Nigel to put him in the ropes, and he fires forearm after forearm! Then DRAPING BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Nigel is still in this and the fans rally up. Woods is annoyed but he clamps on an ANKLE LOCK! Nigel endures, reaches out, and the fans sing for Nigel as he fights around! Nigel uses the ROPEBREAK! That is his third and final, and no one has a save as we’re only ten minutes into this. Nigel goes to the outside, Woods grabs at him, but Nigel HOTSHOTS Woods’ arm! Then he drags Woods out, TOWER OF LONDON onto the floor!

The fans cheer while both men are down! The ring count climbs, Nigel rises up, but Woods anchors a foot. Nigel frowns but he brings Woods up. Nigel ROCKS Woods, the count is 10 of 20 as Woods hits back! Woods eggs Nigel on so the forearms keep going! The shots are back and forth, but we pass 13! 15! 16! The forearms keep going, but we hit 18! Both men hear that and roll in at 19! The fans cheer, especially as the forearms keep going! Woods fires a flurry, but Nigel UPPERCUTS! “GET SOME!” They DOUBLE BOOT! The fans fire up as both men are down! The dueling chants brings both men to their feet, and Nigel throat chops!

Nigel UPPERCUTS, throat chops, repeat! Nigel goes corner to corner and back again to UPPERCUT! The fans cheer as Nigel keeps going, but Woods ROCKS him! Nigel yoyos, but into the URENAGE BACKBREAKER! And then LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Woods is stunned but the fans fire up again. ANKLE LOCK!! Woods shouts at Nigel, knowing there’s no way to save himself with the ropes! Nigel grabs the ropes all the same, but then the ref reminds him! Woods drags Nigel back anyway, but Nigel rolls to send Woods into buckles! The fans rally as both men stand, and Woods stalks Nigel. Woods winds up but Nigel BOOTS him down!

Nigel huffs ‘n’ puffs, but Woods might be dazed from that shot. The fans rally as Woods sits up slowly, and Nigel waits on the diagnosis. Woods seems alright to continue so Nigel whips him corner to corner. Woods slumps down, Nigel’s kick may have rung the proverbial bell. Nigel drags Woods, covers, TWO! The fans cheer as Woods shows he still has something in the tank. Nigel decides to end this with the LONDON DUNGEON!! Woods endures, reaches out, but he’s in the same boat of no ropebreaks. Woods shifts, turns, but Nigel pushes him down. Woods UP KICKS, Nigel yoyos, but Woods catches Nigel again!

Nigel spins through ROCK and UPPERCUT, but Woods UPPERCUTS back! Nigel yoyos, LET’S KILL IT LARIAT! Cover, Nigel wins!

Winner: Nigel McGuinness, by pinfall

Just shy of 15 minutes, and after pushing Woods to his limits, Nigel wins out! But will Nigel carry this momentum to give it one more go against Lee Moriarty? Will Lee even be champion after defending his title against Ace Austin?

ROH Women’s World Television Championship: Red Velvet VS Viva Van!

Friends and rivals are always bound to fight each other in this business, and that’s no different for these two. The Chef has been cooking her competition match after match, but the Hellbent Vixen embraces the heat! Will it be Viva La Viva Van tonight? Or will Velvet still stir it up in Salisbury?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who serves and who eats!

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the fans cheer as the two circle. They feel things out, Viva calls for a knuckle lock, and Velvet reaches out. But then Velvet gets groovy as she changes which hand. Viva clamps on all the same, and they go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally, Viva kicks to step over and wrangle Velvet to an ARMBAR! Velvet fights, Viva kicks her down, but Velvet hurries to high stack. TWO, and Velvet wrenches, wristlocks, and wrangles Viva.

ROH World Television Championship: AR Fox VS Lio Rush!

The Whole Fox’n Show was the new champion for two minutes and already he was called out for a defense! The Problem Child wants that precious gold, but will he have his dark heart’s desire? Or will Fox prove all the blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifices weren’t in vain?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who stays in the spotlight!

Backstage interview with Sammy Guevara.

Lexy Nair is with the Spanish God and congratulates him on the win in Zero Hour over Action Andretti. Now, Sammy wanted to defend his ROH World Tag Team Championship, but unfortunately, visa issues for Mortos meant they could not. Good news will be that in Mexico next month, they can defend the titles. Sammy hushes Lexy and says, “Everybody’s favorite Pillar is about to talk. Now, while I love teaming with LFI, while I love running wild with my hermanos–that means ‘brothers,’ by the way–before I was teaming with LFI, I was a singles star! I won championship after championship, gold after gold after gold!

“And that got me thinking about the AEW World Championship. Now, I must ask you, do you climb a mountain to see the world? Or do you climb that mountain so that the world can see you climb it? Well, I’m here to tell you, I’m climbing that mountain to be champion of the world! So Darby Allin, I’ve beaten you before not once, not twice, not three times, I’ve beaten you four times! And if you have the cajones, show up tomorrow on Collision right here in Salisbury, Maryland, and it’s gonna be number five. #AndNEW AEW World Champion, Sammy Guevara, The Spanish God.” Sammy is confident as ever, but will he be the one to end the Relentless Reign?

ROH Pure Women’s Championship: Deonna Purrazzo VS Diamante!

The Virtuosa has been undefeated since winning the tournament to crown the inaugural champion, and it was in defiance of Athena’s tyranny! But after making things violently personal, will the Cuban Diamond be the one to succeed where others have failed? Or will Deonna break her arm and make her humble?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly Pure!

The Code of Honor is skipped as the two talk trash, so the bell rings. The two tie up and go around, and Deonna puts Diamante in a corner to stomp a mudhole! The fans cheer but the ref reprimands. Deonna stops, but that lets Diamante fire forearms in return. Diamante whips, Deonna reverses to kick low and reel Diamante in. POWER- RANA! Deonna goes to a corner, comes back, and goes for the arm! Diamante rolls free, slips around, and backslides, TWO! They stay hooked up, rise up, and the fans rally as Deonna spins Diamante. Deonna kicks low, then POWERBOMBS! Then FUJIWARA! Diamante kicks and crawls backwards to the ROPEBREAK!

Deonna lets go, and makes sure Diamante knows that’s the first. But then Diamante trips Deonna, and SLAMS the leg against the apron! And SLAMS it again, and again! Diamante brings Deonna out but Deonna shoves her away. Diamante comes back, wheelbarrows, and STUNNER! Deonna hobbles away, but Diamante DROPKICKS the leg! Deonna falls and Diamante vows to break that ankle! Diamante puts Deonna in the ring, stomps the leg, then twists the other! Deonna endures, keeps her shoulders up, but Diamante twists the foot even harder. Diamante drops an elbow on the leg, but Deonna endures.

Deonna chinlocks but Diamante fires elbows into her! Diamante puts on the pressure, puts the leg on the ropes, and HIP DROPS! The fans are torn but Diamante flexes as she stalks Deonna to another corner. Diamante CHOPS Deonna, CHOPS again, then brings Deonna up again. Diamante winds up to CHOP! Diamante soaks up the cheers and jeers while Deonna is stinging. Diamante then fires forearms on Deonna, but Deonna shoves Diamante away. Diamante comes back but Deonna ELBOWS her! Diamante returns again, blocks a kick, and twists the foot! The ref counts, that is Deonna’s ROPEBREAK!

Diamante lets go and Deonna is frustrated. But then Diamante CHOP BLOCKS! Diamante grins while the ref reprimands, and Diamante DROPKICKS Deonna! Cover, TWO! Deonna survives but Diamante brings her up. Deonna ROCKS Diamante, CHOPS her, then hobbles after her. Deonna CHOPS again, then whips, only for Diamante to block. Deonna ROCKS Diamante, but Diamante ROCKS Deonna! Diamante fires more forearms, but Deonna ROCKS Diamante back! Diamante DECKS Deonna, but that’s a closed fist! That is her one warning, and she shrugs. Diamante simple bends the rules the same as we’ve seen Billie Starkz do it.

The fans boo but Diamante tells them off with hand gestures. Diamante puts Deonna on the top rope, but Deonna hits back! Diamante ROCKS Deonna, then shoves her into the Tree of Woe! Deonna dangles over the apron, Diamante pulls at the legs while she kicks Deonna in the back. Diamante then runs side to side to DROPKICK Deonna in the back! Deonna flops to apron then floor while the fans are torn. The ring count starts but Diamante lets it climb because there are no Champion’s Advantages. Deonna stands at 10 of 20 and rolls in! The fans cheer, but Diamante SMASHES Deonna’s knee off the mat!

Deonna soaks up heat, SPLASHES the leg, then steps over to KNEE JAMMER! Diamante taunts the fans, then drags Deonna up at the ropes. Diamante CHOKES Deonna, the ref counts, and Diamante stops at 4. Deonna crawls to a corner but Diamante is on her. Diamante whips corner to corner, runs up, but Deonna BOOTS her back! Deonna goes up to KNEE DROP on Diamante’s arm! Deonna fires UPPERCUT after UPPERCUT on the arm, then RUSSIAN LEG SWEEPS! Roll and FUJIWARA, but Diamante rolls Deonna, TWO! Both women stand, Deonna BOOTS Diamante! The fans fire up while both women are down!

Deonna shakes out her bad leg while a standing count begins. Deonna sits up first, she grabs at Diamante, and she reels her in, but Diamante fights the lift. Diamante trips Deonna, turns her over, but Deonna turns over again. Diamante steps through, Deonna fights it, so Diamante ANKLE LOCKS! Diamante has that headlock-style grip on the foot, but Deonna rolls to fling Diamante away! But Diamante’s right back with the basement UPPERCUT! Then GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Deonna survives but Diamante goes right for the arm. Diamante KICKS and KICKS and KICKS Deonna in the side, then clamps on the FUJIWARA!

Diamante puts pressure on the arm but Deonna endures! Deonna shifts and rolls Diamante up, TWO! Deonna ROCKS Diamante, and that is her one closed fist! We pass 10 minutes as Deonna argues with the ref, she knows what she’s doing. Deonna stalks Diamante to the apron but Diamante thrusts in, only for Deonna to dodge! Deonna then KKICKS Diamante, and has her in the ropes for the DRAPING DDT! Cover, TWO! But Deonna grabs the arm, FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Deonna rains down elbows, then CRANKS the hole! Diamante endures, shifts, and kicks around, ROPEBREAK! That is Diamante’s second!

Deonna holds on a little longer, but she lets go in frustration. Deonna vows to end it now, and she drags Diamante up. Gotch lift, but Diamante fights the rest! Diamante fights free, but Deonna ROCKS her! Diamante KICKS a leg out, runs, but into a SLAP! Deonna runs, ROCKS Diamante again, and again, but Diamante fires back! Deonna fires a flurry, but Diamante grabs hair! Dragon sleeper and- NO, Deonna wrenches out to FUJIWARA!! Diamante rolls, Deonna kicks, GOTCH PILEDRIVER outta nowhere!! Cover, TWO!! Diamante survives and Deonna is stunned! The fans rally up again while Diamante sputters.

Deonna grows frustrated, but then Diamante makes it worse by flipping her off! Deonna bends that finger, but Diamante SLAPS her! And she doubles down! Deonna SLAPS Diamante back, spins her around, POWERBOMB! Then a flip over into the VENUS DE MILO!!! Diamante TAPS, Deonna wins!!

Winner: Deonna Purrazzo, by submission (still ROH Women’s Pure Champion)

Diamante pushed the wrong button on Deonna, and she just got beat! Thirteen minutes and it was another masterpiece for The Virtuosa, but will anyone ever take this title from her?

Action Andretti speaks.

“Life, I feel, is an unspoken right and wrong. And I always tried to do the right thing. That’s why when life got rough for my tag partner, I told him, ‘Do what you need to do. All this can wait, I can wait,’ and I did wait. Call after call, and nothing. Tonight, I could’ve used my partner. But Lio, you wasn’t there. Do you know what that feels like? To be forgotten, to be discarded and disrespected when you were just trying to do the right thing?! It not only makes you angry, it makes you question everything. It breaks something inside of you, and at the same time, it awakens something in you. A fire, a desire to cause pain.

“And Lio, now understand this: CRU is done.” The Sight to See has drawn the line in the sand, but will he pay for crossing the line in the first place?

ROH Pure Championship: Lee Moriarty VS Ace Austin!

#TAIGASTYLE is THE longest reigning Men’s Pure Champion ever, but he’s still hungry for competition. He gives this opportunity to a friend and rival who has certainly earned his shot, but will Ace still end up another name on the list? Or will change truly be Inevitable?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who has the hot hand!

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, Ace waistlocks, wrenches, hammerlocks, headlocks, then hits the takeover.

Red Velvet speaks.

“Another successful win for your ROH Women’s World Television Champion. And MAN, does it feel good? It feels great! But y’know what doesn’t feel good? Watching Dynamite on Wednesday, watching the Owen Hart Tournament bracket come up, and guess who’s not on it? Your TV Champion. I’m pissed! I’m frustrated! I’m angry! I’m jealous! But I’m actually motivated. Because y’know whose name was on the bracket? Willow Nightingale, your TBS Champion. The ‘Comeback Killer.’ Now Willow, I heard you got an open contract for that TBS title. Well guess who just signed it? ME.

“And not only am I coming back to kick your ass, I’m coming back tomorrow night, on Collision, to kick your ass right here in Salisbury, Maryland. And not only am I gonna kick your ass, I’m gonna show you why the Queen of TV is about to become the Face of TBS.” The Chef wants to stir it up with Willow, but will the Babe with the Power take that L and send it back to the kitchen?

On-stage interview with Jordan Oliver & Alec Price.

Lexy Nair welcomes out The Buster & The Brain, and Oliver gets Price to calm down. Lexy brings up their winning streak, and asks if it is safe to say that they’re going for the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Oliver tells Lexy that they wanted to wrestle Beast Mortos & Sammy Guevara for the titles tonight, but the champs weren’t defended once again. But when they will be, these two will be first in line! And Lexy, here’s some factoids you might not know about them. They’re calculated, they’re strategical, and they have a plan for any situation, always!

Price adds that since the ROH Tag Team Division is so on fire right now, if any other team’s feeling froggy~, Buster & The Brain are ready to go insane~! Wait! THE KINGDOM is here?! The fans cheer the return of Mike Bennett & Matt Taven! The former ROH World Tag Team Champions have the fans cheering for them, and Mike tells Price & Oliver, “Gentlemen… I turn 41 tomorrow, it’s my birthday. Cheap pop there, cheap pop. I know I’m getting a little grey in the beard, a little long in the tooth, but I know I can still hear pretty good. So did you guys say, ‘Is there anyone feeling froggy?’ Well, allow me and my partner, Sexual Taven, to be the first to say… ribbit ribbit.”

Mike gets it more than most: When dad’s away, the kids get rambunctious! Too bad for you kids, but Daddy’s home. Taven says before they talk about their friend, Frank Mortos, and the belts he’s keeping warm for the Kingdom, realize where you are! This is THEIR house, this is ROH, this is their kingdom! And like the cliche goes, if you come for the king, you best not miss. And if you want after them, you better cut their heads off, because they’re still #NeckStrong! The fans cheer that, but Taven can tell Buster’s getting antsy. If they want the titles, you gotta go through OGK. So from two Boston boys to at least one other, best of luck, Melvins, cuz you’re def gonna need it!

The Kingdom offer handshakes, Buster & The Brain accept, but when and where will these teams fight for their right to face LFI for the ROH gold?

But since The conglomeration wants to fight so bad, STP will gladly beat they asses down anytime, anywhere!

Bravo says yeah, don’t worry, they’ll get the Six Man titles back. But let’s not wait and do this tomorrow night on Collision, in this dirtbag town of Salisbury! Dean says let’s sweeten down!

Mark Briscoe tells STP that if they wanna tango with The Conglomeration, then how convenient! They just so happen to be looking for a good ol’ fight on a Saturday night! Challenge accepted!

Billie snapmares to KICK Yuka in the back! Billie pushes Yuka down, TWO! Billie is upset but she ROCKS Yuka!

Billie ROCKS Yuka again, bumps her off buckles, and tags Athena. Athena fires forearm after forearm, but the fans rally up. Athena runs in, Yuka dodges, but Athena hurries to waistlock! Athena gator rolls Yuka, drags her up, but Yuka fights with elbows! The fans rally, but Athena ducks a shot to scoop and SLAM! Cover, TWO! Athena is annoyed but she cravats Yuka for the neck wrench. The fans rally but Yuka fires body shots. Yuka is free and she snapmare rolls with Athena! But Athena avoids the kick to kip up! Yuka blocks a kick to ROLLING ELBOW! Athena is down, but so is Yuka! They crawl, tag to Marina!

Billie bumps Lacey off buckles, snapmares, then she THROWS Lacey by her hair! Billie goes up, up, but Athena sneaks the tag! SWANTON BOMB from Billie, Athena covers, their team wins!

Winners: Athena, Billie Starkz & Marina Shafir, by pinfall

Isn’t that always the way? Billie does the work, Athena takes the credit. Marina isn’t much happier about it, but will Athena do this and then some during Survival of the Fittest? Or will Billie finally, finally, FINALLY stand up for herself?

After Pure Rules: Josh Woods VS Angelico…

The Technical Beast wins with a bridging German Suplex, but that’s not enough for him! He clamps on a nasty top keylock onto Angelico’s arm and pushes on it! The ref reprimands and the fans boo but Woods is shouting a warning to Nigel McGuinness! Serpentico rushes out here, he gets Woods to let go of the hold, then he checks on Angelico. But then Woods snatches Serpentico into the SLEEPER! The fans boo again as Woods shouts, “Nigel! This is your future! THIS IS YOUR FUTURE!” But then NIGEL MCGUINNESS is here!

The fans cheer, and Nigel has a mic to tell Woods, “If you wanna take some liberties with someone, we don’t have to wait until tomorrow night at Supercard of Honor. We can do this tonight!” The fans cheer Nigel as he steps into the ring and steps up to Woods. Woods says y’know what? He’ll do Nigel a favor and NOT do this tonight. He’ll wait to beat Nigel in front of the WORLD, live on PPV! The fans boo as Woods leaves, and Nigel says in 24 hours, Supercard of Honor, he might take some liberties himself. The fans cheer, but will Nigel slay the Technical Beast? Or will Woods have the goods to go after Lee Moriarty and the Pure Championship?

Red Velvet speaks.

“Supercard of Honor is about showing everyone why I am THE best ROH Women’s World Television Champion of all time. Viva Van, we go way back. Even before this championship was around my waist. We’ve wrestled each other, teamed together in CMLL, so I know exactly how talented you are, and how hard you worked for this opportunity. And honestly, I respect that, and you. But respect doesn’t change reality. This title didn’t make me who I am, I made this title important! Every Proving Ground match, every defense, every sacrifice, I carried this division on my back with pride. I put the R in ROH, and the V in TV Champion.

“At Supercard of Honor, you’re not stepping in the ring with the woman you used to know, you’re stepping int he ring with the backbone of this division. And when it’s all said and done, and the bell rings, it’ll be #AndStill.” The Chef is ready to cook Viva Van, but will it be another hot ‘n’ fresh L? Or will it be Viva La Hellbent Vixen in Salisbury?

ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships: Shane Taylor Promotions VS Eddie Kingston, Ortiz & Mance Warner!

Speaking of carrying a division, The Infantry & Big Bad Shaney T are still running the Six Man game, and are looking to keep that going on the night before Supercard. But will they show everyone to rumble, bad man, rumble? Or will The Mad King, The Monkey & The Southern Psycho change everything?

Cover, TWO!

The numbers advantage helps STP again, they still run this! Will any team ever stand a chance of stopping their rise to the top?

After Blake Christian w/ The Lethal Twist VS Evil Uno…

Vanilla Choke Zero was too much for Player One to stomach, and now Blake gets a mic to speak. “Bandido, Bandido~! I hope you were paying attention. I hope you were watching closely. Because I have been proving week in and week out that I am going to take your ROH World Championship.” The fans boo that, but Blake says, “You can feel it. It’s like a changing of the seasons. You walk out the door, oh, you smell that beautiful fresh air, the birds are chirping, and that grey sky clears, and the beautiful sunshine comes out. And then you know that Vanilla Baby is your NEW ROH World Champion!”

The fans boo but Blake aims his finger gun. He looks to take down the Most Wanted, but will he succeed where so many have failed?

Lee Moriarty speaks.

“Ace Austin. I’ve known you for over 10 years. We’ve battled everywhere, from Pennsylvania to Ohio to Florida. And now, we’re gonna do it again in Maryland. Ace, I know how amazing an athlete you are, I’ve been in the ring with you, and you upped the score on me last time, so you earned this opportunity. But I need you to understand and recognize that you are now in the ring with the best Pure wrestler on the planet! This is my world, and there is not an ace up your sleeve that can out wrestle Taiga Style. So watch your step and protect your neck, because my name is Lee Moriarty, and I am the greatest ROH Pure Champion of all time.”

Ace Austin responds.

“Did you know that I am undefeated in ROH? If you watch Dynamite, you might not know that. Because yes, its’ true that I’ve lost more than I’ve won on Dynamite. But… That’s not what it’s about. Iron sharpens iron, and tonight, I stood toe to toe with one of the absolute best in the world with Will Ospreay, and there’s a reason he shook my hand at the end of that match. There’s a difference between failure and losing. Failure only happens when you decide to quit, but there’s a lot to be learned from loss. Winning is great, but I’ve learned more from these losses than any amount of wins could’ve ever taught me.

“And I carry these lessons with me when I step into ROH. It’s the reason why I have yet to be beaten in ROH. And finally, finally, I’ve got myself a championship opportunity, Friday at Supercard of Honor, Ace Austin VS Lee Moriarty for the Pure Championship. Yes, Lee, we’ve known each other for over 10 years, but that doesn’t matter, our paths have been so, so different. And you have quite the tight grip on the Pure Championship. But that doesn’t last forever. The Bang Bang Gang already beat STP once, a whole group full of ROH champions. So it’s only a matter of time before you lose that grip.

“And Lee, me? Ace Austin, wearing championship gold, it’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when. And I… am… Inevitable!” The champ is willing to give an old rival his opportunity, but will this just be another notch on Lee’s belt? Or will The Inevitable happen, and make Moriarty fold?

After ROH Women’s Pure Championship Proving Grounds: Deonna Purrazzo VS Kaci Lennox…

The Virtuosa puts this one away with 6 minutes to spare, but then DIAMANTE ATTACKS! The Cuban Diamond knocks Deonna down, stomps away on her, then picks up the belt! BELT SHOT on Deonna! The fans boo but Diamante looks at the gold. Then she looks at Deonna, and clamps on the FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! Deonna can’t even tap, she’s barely able to focus! Diamante lets go, and holds up the belt as she promises #AndNEW! But will Diamante regret adding fuel to the fire? Or will she burn brightest once she has gold around her waist?

Athena speaks.

Well, she laughs as she says, “These dumb porcelain hussies, lemme tell you. They are so stupid! They think because they have faced me once that they have the knowledge to some kinda way beat the Forever ROH Champion. But let’s get one thing straight: If AEW is where the best wrestle, ROH is where the best ONE wrestles!” But then Billie storms in and asks what the heck was that in the match! It’s always gotta be about Athena, Athena, Athena, doesn’t it?! Athena says she hears what Billie’s saying, but take that rage and turn it into gratitude. Instead of saying all this crap, say, “Thank you, Athena, for fixing all my mistakes.

“Thank you, Athena, for keeping ROH afloat during the rocky times, the hard times.” The entire DIVISION should be thanking Athena! She doesn’t know how many times they can do this. Three YEARS of temper tantrums, lashing out, kicks to the face, and yet Athena keeps Billie by her side. Say THANK YOU because Athena keeps you relevant. We all know without Athena, Billie and this entire roster wouldn’t exist! There would be no ROH without Athena, and it’s about damn time you all acknowledged it! So what are we gonna say, Billie? Billie reluctantly says thanks, and Athena says you’re welcome. And remember, Supercard of Honor, you follow the plan!

Because if not, Billie will have more than just Athena’s right foot, left foot, and fists to deal with! MIT forever. Athena leaves, but Billie doesn’t look 100% with the program. Will Supercard finally see the fall of MIT?

Survival of the Fittest Second Chance Qualifier: Zayda Steel VS Hyan!

Well, speaking of Supercard, The Real Deal and the Renaissance Woman have one last chance to make it to that card! Who rounds out the field with just one more win?

Zayda dribbles Hyan off buckles, then runs her side to side for another buckle bump! Zayda goes up, leaps, but Hyan dodges!

Hyan runs up but Zayda sweeps the legs! Zayda runs to SHOTGUN! The fans cheer while Hyan bails out, and Zayda DIVES! But Hyan catches Zayda to snap suplex to the floor! The fans fire up while both women are down! Christopher Daniels coaches Zayda but the ring count climbs. Zayda rises, so does Hyan, but we’re at 8 of 20. Zayda keeps Hyan from rolling in, then she rolls in at 10, but she forgets about the 20! Hyan is in at 11 to fire forearms with Zayda! The fans rally as the two go back and forth. Hyan CHPOS, runs, but Zayda UPPERCUTS! Zayda runs but Hyan follows to ROCK her!

Hyan goes to run but Zayda reels her into a waistlock! They go to ropes, Zayda uses the O’Conner to get an STF! The fans rally as Hyan endures! Zayda pulls on the hold, then grabs an arm, STRAITJACKET! Hyan fights, reaches out, but Zayda gets the other arm! Zayda pulls back, but Hyan crawls on her elbows to BITE the ropebreak! The fans cheer but Zayda lets go in frustration. Zayda goes for legs, Hyan kicks her away, and Hyan SPEARS! Both women are down, Hyan crawls her way over to cover, TWO! Zayda survives and the fans rally up. Hyan drags Zayda up, hooks the arms, but Zayda victory rolls through! TWO and Hyan ahas it, TWO!

Zayda has it again, TWO! Hyan has it, TWO! Zayda again, TWO!! Zayda dodges a boot, then runs around to tilt-o-whirl DDT! Cover, TWO!! Hyan survives and Zayda is stunned! The fans rally again and Zayda drags Hyan up. Zayda chicken wings the arms, turns Hyan, but Hyan powers free to whip Zayda to a corner. Hyan runs up, blocks a boot, and spins Zayda into a backslide, TWO! Zayda swings, but into a fireman’s carry! Zayda slips free, turns Hyan, ROLLING KILLSWITCH! Cover, ZAYDA WINS!

Winner: Zayda Steel, by pinfall (advances to Supercard of Honor)

Whatever Zayda wants to call that move, it sealed the deal for The Real Deal! Zayda shows respect to Hyan, but will she show Athena, Billie, Maya, Yuka, and Trish that SHE is the future of ROH?

ROH World Television Championship: Nick Wayne w/ Shayna Wayne & Kip Sabian VS AR Fox!

With The Prodigy about to fly to Japan for Best of the Super Juniors, he has to defend this title now to fulfill contractual obligations. And it’s against a man who Nick has many, many reasons to hate! Will nothing stop Nick on his road to becoming the best ROH World TV Champion? Or will Honor Club now be the Whole Fox’n Show?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the Face of Honor Club!

The fans cheer Fox and taunt Nick. The Code of Honor is skipped, the bell rings, and Nick talks trash that Fox just keeps coming back to lose.

Fox throws elbow after elbow, Mama Shayna protests, but Fox shoves Nick away. Nick distracts the ref so Kip can trip Fox up! Nick ELBOWS Fox off the corner and down to the floor! Nick has a bloody scratch on his cheek but he still smiles as he goes out after Fox. Nick kicks Fox, then drags him up. Nick whips Fox, Fox reverses, but Nick stops short of the steps! Nick ELBOWS Fox, then cravats, SLICED BREAD to the floor! The fans are torn but Nick says count Fox out! Nick rolls into the ring, and the count begins.

Fox writhes, clutches his shoulder, but we’re at 5 of 20. Fox rises up, stands at 8, and he rolls in at 10! The fans applaud and Nick mockingly joins in. Nick runs up to BOOT Fox back down! Nick talks trash, drags Fox up, and he puts Fox on the ropes to CHOKE him! The ref counts, the fans boo, and Nick stops, but then Mama Shayna CHOKES Fox!

ROH World Championship Proving Grounds: Bandido VS Action Andretti!

The Most Wanted knows Blake Christian is coming for this gold, but he still has a long list of contenders waiting in the wings. Will tonight truly be a Sight to See? Or will The Outlaw be ready for Proving Ground Action?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and we’re on the clock. The fans rally as the two circle, then tie up. They’re in a deadlock, then break.

Cover, Bandido wins!

Winner: Bandido, by pinfall (denies Action Andretti a title opportunity)

Action certainly brought the action, but he could not bring down THE ROH World Champion. However, The Lethal Twist makes their presence known as they step back out on stage. Vanilla Baby steps forward, showing off the mask he stole from Bandido. Bandido shakes his head, then dares Blake to step into the ring so they can get things started now! Blake just throws the mask back to Bandido, because he says he’ll just take the belt to replace it. Supercard of Honor is coming, who survives in Salisbury?

My Thoughts:

A great ROH but sheesh, did we need a go-home that was over two hours? Did we need last minute Proving Grounds? Did we need obvious squash match filler? I will say that Josh Woods sending a message to Nigel only for Nigel to quickly respond was a good moment, keep that. Diamante going after Deonna just tips the hand with classic go-home math. I would think Deonna is winning now, but maybe Diamante cheating defies the expectations. Glad to see we got some kind of Six Woman Tag but I would’ve thought Trish Adora would’ve been part of this. Good spot for Lacey Lane and Marina Shafir to each be part of this, maybe one or both of them can get in on the ROH Women’s title scene after Supercard.

That is to say, if Athena loses the title, the new champion will need some fresh faces to defend the belt against. I really, really, REALLY hope the dysfunction they’re bringing back around for Athena and Billie means Billie breaks away from Athena once and for all. Even Athena questioned if they can keep this going after over three YEARS. Very good Six Man Tag title match, but I figured STP would win off the numbers game. Very good promos from Lee Moriarty and Ace Austin, and of course they’re adding this match last minute to Supercard. Like AEW, ROH puts as many titles on the card as they can, so here we are.

Great match from Zayda VS Hyan, and I’m actually surprised Zayda won. I thought they were gonna give us Maya & Hyan going after Athena & Billie throughout Survival of the Fittest, but maybe it means more if Maya is in there alone against both Athena & Billie, and then Billie still turns on Athena. Zayda will still do great in the match, too, but I wonder if she is first eliminated. And great match from Nick Wayne VS AR Fox, though NJPW technically gave spoilers just in the fact Nick wasn’t wearing the title for BOSJ opening night. Even without that, great moment for Fox to finally have a title in AEW/ROH, but again, throwing on as many matches as they can, Fox VS Lio is already happening. It’d be real nasty business if Fox was transitional for Lio, hopefully Fox wins.

My Score: 8.8/10
