Video: Ortiz, Eddie Kingston, Busta & The Brain

And here we go! New time slot, new studio, same great Ring of Honor taste that you’ve come to know and love.

And it started off with Eddie Kingston and Ortiz being interviewed. Ortiz said they want to mix it up with youn talent, just as the young talent known as Busta and The Brain wandered by. So they all agreed to fight.

RPG Vice (Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta) vs. TMDK (Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls)

Apparently this is the first time TMDK and RPG VICE have crossed paths, which makes sense since neither team uses the others letters.

Haste and Romero started things off with some locking up and trash talking. Haste seemed to really enjoy making fun of Romero’s height, which earned him a knee to the gut. Haste responded with a shoulder tackle and Romero went to escape by tagging in Beretta, but Beretta made him “tag him in proper.”

Nichols tagged in and the two double teamed Beretta with some stereo sentons. Nichols got Beretta up in a staaaaaaaallllling suplex, but Romero broke up the cover after the fact. Romero sent Haste to the outisde and hit a running knee off the aprion while Nichols started chopping Beretta in the ring.

Beretta countered with some chops of his own before tagging in Romero, isolating Nichols in their corner. Nichols bailed from the ring and Beretta sent him into the barricade. The ref tried to get Haste to tag in (I guess he didn’t realize Nichols was legal) while Romero took a turn sending Nichols into the barricade.

Nichols fought back, sending Romero into the barricade before getting back into the ring. Beretta and Romero double teamed him, preventing him from tagging in Haste. Romero threw some one-, two- and three-ever lariats, but Nichols countered the last one and sent him reeling.

Nichols finally got the tag and Haste came into take out Beretta and Romero, stacking them in the corner for a cannonball. Beretta came back with a Mongolian thrust and went for a DDT, but Haste countered it into a tossing Falcon Arrow.

Hast hoisted Beretta up, but Beretta raked his eyes and drove him to the canvas. Romero tagged in and threw hands at Haste, but that got him close enough for a lariat and a two count.

TMDK double teamed Romero and Beretta , but Beretta came back with a superkick. Nichols dropped him with a blue thunder bomb, but of course that didn’t lead to a pin. That would be silly.

Beretta took on both members of TDMK, but Romero broke up the double team slam attempt. Nichols came back with some chops on them both, but RPG landed their finisher on him and got the pin and the victory.

Winner: RPG Vice via Pinfall.

Lio Rush vs. Nathan Cruz

Rush arrived with a new, dark and weird intro that caused my 8-year old to exclaim “why’s he so creepy?” Good question, Lio. What gives?

The Code of Honor was adhered to and Rush immediately dropped to his knees and crawled around the ring like a goth Mr. Iguana.

They locked up and Cruz drove Rush to the mat, but Rush bridged out of a pin attempt. Rush used his speed to run circles around Cruz before slapping on a sleeper hold. Cruz backed him into the corner to break it, but Rush dragged him back down to the mat, presumeably whispering “we all float down here.”

Rush then staked Cruz, backing him into the corner. Cruz turned it around, kicking Rush in the gut until he rolled out of the ring, giggling. Cruz followed and tossed Rush against the barricades before sending him back into the ring. Cruz wrapped Rush in the ropes and punched him in the gut.

Cruz hoisted Rush up, but Rush countered and sent him out of the ring with a modified rolling heel. He then scampered around the ring like an animal before diving through the ropes onto Cruz.

Back in the ring, Rush hit a screaming Thez press for a two count. Cruz came back with a sit out slam and called Rush a “filthy little baby.” Rush responded with a cutter then went up top for a frog splash fro halfway across the ring. He made the pin and that was it.

Winner: Lio Rush via Pinfall.

After the match, Rush crawled around the ring like an animal giggling which was in no way unsettling.

Video: Deonna Purrazzo

Backstage, ROH Women’s Pure Champion Deonna Purrazzo was interviewed. Purrazzo addressed Diamante, saying if she wanted a shot at the title, all she had to do was ask. Purrazzo intends to walk into Supercard of Honor as champion and said that if she doesn’t get her respect, she will beat it into Diamante. Then the match was made official for Supercard of Honor, Diamante vs Purrazzo for the ROH Women’s Pure Title.

Pure Rules Match
Josh Woods vs. “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard

They started off with a tie up, with Menard clearly trying to work a plan. He forced Woods to the ropes then slapped a hold on him while he was touching them, costing him Woods arope break just 0:37 into the match. Menard then did it again, forcing Woods to the ropes and using a break at 1:15.

Menard then put Woods in a Boston Crab right next to the roipes and Woods used his final break at 2:15. That seemed to make him really mad, so he put Menard in an octopus hold, wrenched down and Menard gave up, giving Woods the win.

Winner: Josh Woods via Submission.

Soleil vs. Komander

Soleil FKA Sidney Akeem FKA Reggie has had some success in this new Lucha persona, but Komander is a former ROH TV Champion, so he’d have his hands full in this match.

Off of a lock up, Komander sent Soleil down with a shoulder block, but he popped back up in a superhero pose. They ran the ropes dodging and weaving until Komander swept the leg for a two count. Soleil rolled out of it and the reset, showing respect.

Soleil hit a pop up kick and then a twisting high crossbody to sent Komander staggering. He charged, but Komander moved and Soleil got him with a kick. He went up top and flew off the turnbuckle with a crossbody for a two count.

Soleil started chopping Komander in the corner, adding in a kick or two for good measure. Soleil hit a skywalker mule kick for a two count, but Komander wasn’t done. Soleil tried to wear Komander down with a chin lock, but Komander got back to his feet and they traded kicks.

Komander hit a shoulder tackle followed by a springboard dropkick. He planted Soleil with a DDT, but could only get a two count. Komander went up top, but Soleil rolled out of the way of the frog splash and countered with a pumphandle shock effect.

Soleil went for another crossbody, but Komander countred with an around the world stretch. Soleil got out of it and came back with a rolling Spicolli driver followed by a meteora. Komander dodged a double stomp and chopped Soleil to his knees.

Soleil got back up and ran the ropes, right into a spinning kick from Komander. Komander landed a poisonrana, but Soleil kicked out at two. Soleil came back with a Mexican destroyer and tried a handspring, but Komander caught him and drove him to the mat for his ropewalk crossbody and then made the pin to get the victory.

Winner: Komander via Pinfall.

Eight-Man Tag Team Match
Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, Lee Moriarty, & The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Capt. Shawn Dean)) vs. Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson & Ace Austin) & The Von Erichs (Marshall & Ross Von Erich)

The Von Erichs haven’t lost a match in 2026 and their partners in the Bang Bang Gang are doing pretty well in their own right. They will be facing the Champions of STP, with Moriarty being the ROH Pure Champion and Taylor and the Infantry holding the ROH Six-Man belts.

Moriarty and Austin started things off with a technical exchange, ending with Moriarty getting his knee into Austin’s neck. Austin came back with an inside arm drag and shoulder tackle. Moriarty tripped him up though and tried to steal one with a rollup. Austin broke free and found himself in an octopus stretch. He pried himself out and counterd with a koji clutch. Moriarty found the ropes to break it up though.

Bravo and Ross tagged in and Bravo mocked the Von Erich family claw. That fired Ross up and he hit a float over fisherman suplex. Marshall grabbed a blind tag and cut off Dean who had come in to help. They double teamed the Infantry, dispatching Dean and working the arm of Bravo.

Robinson tagged in which gave STP a chance to reset and send in Taylor. They locked up and Taylor drove Robinson to the corner for some strikes. Robinson threw some jabs of his own, but missed with a left hand allowing Taylor to land an elbow.

Taylor picked up Robinson and dropped him onto the top turnbuckle face first. He then shoved him into the second rope turnbuckle and unloaded some punches on him. Taylor made a tag and all three members of STP came in to take out their opponents.

In the ring, Bravo danced while Robinson clutched his gut. Everyone returned to their corners and the Infantry double teamed Robinson. Bravo hit a running kick for a one-count and then stomped Robinson’s hands and knees while yelling out towns in Florida.

Bravo tagged in Dean who dropped a leg from the top rope followed by an elbow drop, a clear homage to the Mega Powers. Dean tagged in Taylor who threw forearms at Robinson. Robinson tried to come back, but a headbutt, side slam and splash put an end to it.

Bravo hit a Carlie Crossover on Robinson and then crushed him with a BBC. Taylor tagged back in and scoop slammed Robinson, but Robinson moved out of the way of the leg drop. Moriarty tagged in and put a sleeper on Robinson, who countered with a back body drop and mananged to finally get a tag to Austin.

Austin took down both Infantry members, laying them out for a double guillotine leg drop. Austin fought off all four members of STP and hit a springboard crossbosdy on Dean. He went for a cover, but Taylor broke it up.

Austin and Taylor threw hands until Taylor caught him in a pop up powerbomb. Dean went for a cover, but Marshall broke it up. The Von Erichs hit a double dropkick on Taylor, but Ross fell victim to a Moriarty sling blade. Taylor came back in and knocked out Ross, blocking the claw from Marshall.

Marshall mamanged to scoop slam Taylor, but Bravo caught him with a DDT. Austin somehow became legal and narrowly avoided a Boot camp. Austin hit the Fold on Dean out of nowhere and rolled him up for a pin to get the victory for his team.

Winner: Bang Bang Gang & The Von Erichs via Pinfall.

Backstage: Busta & The Brain

Backstage, Lexy nair interviewed Alec Price & Jordan Oliver about their upcoming match against Eddie Kingston and Ortiz. They gave the veterans their flowers, but said that they are looking at this as an opportunity to establish themselves. Then Price said “Brain” about six times.

Action Andretti vs. AR Fox

Fox was able to use his lankiness to keep ahead of Andretti, countering pretty much everything he threw at him. Fox tried to catch Andretti by surprise with a series of quick pin attempts, but Andretti countered them all with pinning predicaments of his own.

Fox picked up the pace with a twisting suplex and senton, but could only get a two count. He threw a lariat in the corner then a series of elbows, trying to wear Andretti down. Andretti escaped the ring, but Fox followed, sending him into the barricade.

Fox grabbed a chair and set it up, putting Andretti into it and then circled the ring to build up some steam. As Fox turned the corner though, Andretti hit him with a shoulder. Andretti set Fox up in the chair and tried to take a lap of his own, but Fox scrambled across the ring and dove through the ropes at him.

Andretti bounced back and hit Fox with three dives to the outside before sending him back into the ring. Fox crawled to the corner and countered a senton, sending Andretti to the outside and leaping over the top rope onto him.

Back in the ring, Fox went for a cover, but Andretti kicked out while Coleman and Riccaboni talked about their NCAA brackets getting busted.

Andretti hit a very complicated arm drag and then a twisting springboard cross body after some stanky leg dancing. He chopped Fox in the corner, then drove the wind out of him with his shoulder. Andretti threw a spinning elbow, but Fox wouldn’t go down.

Winner: AR Fox via Pinfall.

The IInspiration (Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee) vs. Frankie B & Viva Van

I’ve been a huge fan of the IInspiration since their IIconic days, so it’s great to see them in ROH.

Van and Lee began the match with Lee offering a very enthusiastic Code of Honor. Off of that, Lee sent Van to the corner where McKay tagged in and gave her a shot. They contriued with quick tags, taking out Frankie as well and having a little pose time.

McKay and Van stayed legal and the IInspiration isolated her and traded shots and quick tags. Lee threw a few roundhouse kicks and then a backstabber on Frankie who had come in to help.

McKay and Lee delivered stereo underhook facebusters before hitting the Idolizer on Frankie and winning the match.

Winner: The IInspiration via Pinfall.

After the match, the IInspiration were given mics and they formally introduced themselves to the ROH crowd. They ran down Van and Frankie, discussing how they were the only ladies with balls. Then they posed.

The WorkHorsemen (Anthony Henry & JD Drake) vs. The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz)

Henry and Xavier opened the match trading waist and wrist locks. Xavier finally connected with a headscissor, but Henry kicked him in th gut about it. Wentz grabbed a blind tag and the Rascalz double teamed Henry in the corner.

Drake stomped across the ring to help, but the Rascalz took him out with a muta lock/dropkick combo. Henry snuck back in looking for a piledriver, but Xavier countered it with a cutter. Drake kept coming in to try and help Henry, but Xavier sent him out out of the ring. When he followed, Henry hit him with a kick to the face from the apron.

Back in the ring, Drake tagged in and Henry held Xavier while Drake sentoned him over the top rope. Drake took off his shirt and choked Xavier with it for a second, but Xavier fought out of it. Drake chopped him in the corner and then threw Xavier at the mat with a scoop slam.

Drake resorted to biting and cut off Xavier in the corner with Henry. They traded tags, putting the boots to Xavier. Drake tagged in and sent Xavier flying with a belly to belly suplex followed by a cannonball in the corner.

Drake went for a Vader Bomb, but Xavier moved and got a hot tag to Wentz just as Henry tagged in. Drake didn’t leave the ring though and Wentz took him out before a stiff kick to Henry’s head. Wentz hit a blockbuster on Drake then a high springboard kick on Henry for a two count.

Xavier tagged back in and hit a hurricanrana on Drake who was back in the ring for some reason. Wentz dove on Drake on the outside, while Xavier tried to pin Henry, but could only get a two count. Xavier in Wentz went for a double team, but Henry countered it and Drake suplexed Xavier.

Backstage, AR Fox and Action Andretti gave each other props on their match earlier. Andretti said that he’d love to do it again, any time, anywhere. Fox thanked him and they shook hands, but Andretti warned him he wouldn’t get another win on him.

ROH World Television Championship Proving Ground Match
Alex Reynolds vs. Nick Wayne (c)

After some Mother Wayne-themed “crowd” work, the match started and Wayne drove Reynolds into the corner. Reynolds then returned the favor. Reynolds and Wayne then traded blows until Wayne was sent to the outside.

Reynolds followed and threw him back into the ring for a big crossbody. Reynolds threw punch after punch at Wayne, who countered by working his arm to take away the strikes. Reynolds screamed in pain as Wayne worked and wrenched his arm.

He managed a back elbow to create some space and then hit a swinging neckbreaker on Wayne. Reynolds went for a fisherman suplex, but Wayne countered, eating up the clock in the Proving Ground match.

Reynolds threw a lariat and then landed the suplex just as the 5-minute warning sounded. Reynolds went up top, but Wayne moved out of the way. Wayne tried a kick, but Reynolds rolled him up for a two count. He hit a high knee, but Wayne came back with a spinning kick and that was it. Wayne made the pin to dash Reynolds Proving Ground hopes.

Winner: Nick Wayne via Pinfall.

Because the show hadn’t been long enough, Ian Riccaboni then interviewed Nick Wayne in the ring. He asked Wayne how it was possible he is this good. Wayne threw him out of the ring saying he only speaks to people with championships.

Wayne then talked about how he’s the future of Ring of Honor, AEW and pro wrestling. He said that all the crowd’s favourites will be retired in a few years, but he’ll still be here and he’ll still be ROH TV Champion.

Eddie Kingston & Ortiz vs. Busta & The Brain (Alec Price & Jordan Oliver)

No one can decide if Price and Oliver are called “Busta and The Brain” or Oliver and Price, so I’m going with their names because that kinda makes sense.

Price and Kingston kicked off the match with Price running around because he’s “crazy.” Kingston should blocked him whenever he got close. Price landed a shoulder tackle off the ropes and tagged inO Oliver for a double team on Kingston.

Ortiz tagged in and he and Kingston hit a double suplex on Oliver. Oliver took down Ortiz with a drop toe hold and rolled him up for two. Price tagged in and they double teamed Ortiz in the corner. They fought around the ring, giving Kingston a chance for a blind tag when they passed him by.

Kingston put Prince in a camel clutch then sent him to the corner. Ortiz tagged in and stomped him. Ortiz hit a fisherman’s suplex then tagged in Kingston who chopped Price to the mat. He tried a series of covers, but Price kicked out of them all.

Ortiz tagged back in and strutted his way to a falling headbutt. He tagged Kingston back in for a double team and they cut off Price from taggin Oliver. Kingston made a mistake and whipped him off the ropes too close and Oliver grabbed a blind tag.

They double teamed Kingston for a second, but couldn’t get a pin. Price and Ortiz fought in the center of the ring until Oliver took out Ortiz with a running knee. Kingston dropped him with a lariat and went for a cover because I guess Oliver was legal? It got really hard to tell.

Ortiz took on both Oliver and Price, who overpowered him with a the damn numbers game. Oliver went for a high knee, but Ortiz dodged it and Kingston took out Price. They combined for a superbulldog on Oliver and then Oliver countered and sent Kingson into the corner. Price hit an Avalanche hurricanrana on Ortiz and then dove onto Kingston on the outside.

He went back up, but Ortiz moved and rolled him up into a trap to get a crucifix pin and the win to close out the show.

Winner: Eddie Kingston & Ortiz via Pinfall.

They chose this moment to announce that qualifying matches for the ROH Women’s World Title Survival of The Fittest match will begin next week.
