ROH World Tag Team Championship Proving Ground Match
The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Capt. Shawn Dean) vs. The Undisputed Kingdom (Mike Bennett & Matt Taven)

This was a Proving Ground match which meant if the Infantry was able to pin the Champions or last 10 minutes, they would earn a title bout at Supercard of Honor.

Bravo and Taven kicked things off with some smooth flips and holds. Dean tagged in and the double team was on. Bravo exited, and Dean took on Taven one-on-one. After a few minutes, Taven got a tag into Bennett who jumped in the ring and immediately almost got pinned. Taven distracted the Ref though, and Bennett was able to break out after a 5-count.

The infantry has a previous win over The Kingdom, and that was definitely on the minds of Dean and Bravo as they ran circles around Bennett in the ring. Another near fall as Dean isolated Taven in the Infantry’s corner. A high knee from Bravo got another two-count as Bravo an Dean tagged in and out to take it to Taven.

Bennett and Taven found themselves on the outside and in stereo, Dean and Bravo dove over, drove them into the barricade, then threw them back in the ring for tandem sunset flips. A really impressive showing from the infantry.

Bennet and Taven decided to wake up and put Dean in a tree of woe in their corner. Bennet dropkicked his face and went for a quick cover for two. It was Dean’s turn to be isolated, as the clock ticked towards that ten minute limit.

Dean caught Taven in a hard DDT and crawled towards his partner for a hot tag. He was cut off by Bennett on the outside though, and he destroyed him with a Spiccoli Driver on the ring apron (the hardest part of the ring). Taven missed a splash from the top rope in the ring and both teams made hot tags. This brought Bravo and Bennet face to face and it seemed like the challengers had a step on the champions.

Taven interrupted a Boot Camp and The Kingdom were about to put Dean down for good when the Ten Minute Time Limit expired. That means these two teams will meet again at Supercard of Honor.

Winner: None.

Backstage: Kyle Fletcher, Lee Johnson

ROH Television Champion Kyle Fletcher joined us backstage to talk about his match at Supercard of Honor against Lee Johnson. Before he began though, Johnson himself showed up. Fletcher reminded him that Johnson didn’t have a good showing in their last match and Johnson just isn’t on his level. In retort, Johnson thought for a minute and reminded Fletcher that he’s been on a win streak in ROH. He’s on a roll and coming for that title at Supercard of Honor.

Anna Jay vs. Nikkita

The two women locked up off the top, Jay quickly got the momentum on her side with a big heel kick. Nikkita didn’t stay down for long though, pulling Jay in for a suplex, that was reversed by Jay. Jay sent her to the corner and rained down some hard strikes. This was a quick one as Jay got the pin off of a hard slam.

Winner: Anna Jay via Pinfall.

Backstage: Dalton Castle

Dalton Castle cut a promo on John TV before their Match Without Honor at Supercard of Honor. Castle said that TV has burned his entire world to the ground trying to hurt him, but like a peacock-phoenix hybrid he will rise from the ashes and destroy John TV!

Video: Johnny TV

Johnny TV had an immediate response from outside a studio in Los Angeles. He’s made it in the tough world of entertainment, and ROH is lucky to have him. If he was on ROH five years ago, they’d probably still be on TV! TV said that Castle is never TV ready, and hes looking forward to the fight without Honor because “honor sucks.”

Nick Comoroto vs. “Big Shoty” Lee Johnson

Johnson was looking to extend his win streak and ride the momentum right into his TV Title Match at Supercard of Honor. A freshly-shaven Comoroto looked, well, distracted as the two squared off.

Comoroto was wrestling in slacks instead of his regular gear, while Johnson wore his usual outfit. Johnson dropkicked Comoroto to the outside and caught him in a dive through the ropes. Tossing the big man back in the ring, Johnson went to the top, but Comoroto managed to counter and knock him to the mat.

Suddenly, Jacoby Watts arrived at the top of the ramp, catching the attention of Comoroto. The fans began chanting “shave your body” at Comoroto but he didn’t seem offended as he whipped Johnson into the corner. Comoroto laid a beating on Johnson, culminating in a kneck wrenching chinlock.

Johnson ducked a strike in the corner to get some momentum back and went work work trying to suplex the big man. Comoroto blocked it, but Johnson was able to swing into a DDT instead. Comoroto popped back up with a devastating lariat and looked to end the match. Johnson wasn’t ready to give up though, and hit a big frog splash to get the 1-2-3.

Winner: Lee Johnson via Pinfall.

Backstage: Griff Garrison, Cole Karter, Serpentico

Garrison and Karter were talking with Lexi Nair. They didn’t know where Maria was, when suddenly Serpentico showed up. He tricked those two into signing a paper that set up a match for Zero Hour.

Nyla Rose vs. Alexia Nicole

Nyla Rose has been drifting a bit since her loss to Athena in a tables match a few weeks ago. This match against Nicole was her way of showing that she’s still the dominant force she always has been.

Nicole showed no fear though and tried to get in a quick shot off the top. Rose was not fazed though, and whipped her into the corner. After a senton bomb, Rose began mugging for the crowd. Nicole tried to fight back with a shotgun dropkick, but Rose kicked her. That was is as Rose put Nicole down for the count.

Winner: Nyla Rose via Pinfall.

Backstage: Nick Comoroto, Jacoby Watts

Lexi Nair tried to interview Comoroto, but was interrupted by Jacoby Watts. Watts sold himself as a manager to Comoroto, saying that his wisdom and guidance will let Comoroto rise to t a new level. Silently, Comoroto shook his hand, joining forces with Watts.

Evil Uno vs. London Lightning

The Buzz around lightning was pumping as he and Uno exchanged Code of Honor handshakes. There was a pretty interesting juxtaposition between the veteran Uno, and the younger Lightning.

The two circled each other before a tie up. Uno went for Lightning’s hair, and the Ref was very disappointed in him for it, breaking up the hold. A classic test-of-stregnth tie up followed and Lightning came out the better sending Uno to the ropes. Uno bounced back with a slap and stomped Lightning in the corner.

Lightning stuck…Uno’s shin, with a big kick. Getting the bigger man onthe ground, Lightning managed to pull Uno into a Suplex and return those corner stomps. Uno fought back with a knife edge chop though and continued to control the pace of the match. Lightning ducked out of the ring to regroup, and Uno gave chase. Lightning tried to lure him back into the ring, but Uno saw through his ruse. Lightning missed an elbow drop and Uno took advantage with hip gyrations and running chops. 

Uno caught Lightning with a neckbreaker, with an assist by the Ref. Lightning managed to land a spinebuster. He tried to twist Uno into a sharpshooter, but Uno wriggled free. He managed to hit his finisher and pin Lightning clean.

Winner: Evil Uno via Pinfall.

Video: Premiere Athletes

A video aired hyping up the return of the Premiere Athletes’ Tony Nese, Ari Daivari, and Josh Woods at ROH’s Supercard of Honor 2024 event.

In-Ring: Lexy Nair, Billie Starkz, Athena, Hikaru Shida, Queen Aminata

Up next was the “First Ever ROH Women’s Title Contract Signing.” Lexi Nair, Billie Starkz and a table and chairs were in the ring for the segment. Starkz wondered if she managed to win the ROH TV title at Supercard of Honor, would that make her the new Minion Overlord? That brought Athena to the ring.

Athena, The longest-reigning Women’s Champion, screamed at her minions, declaring that she was not afraid of Shida. Nair then called former AEW Women’s Champion, Shida to the ring. Shida arrived, Kendo stick in hand and said that she did not come alone.

A surprise Queen Aminata (Starkz’ opponent for the Women’s TV Title at Supercard of Honor) came to the ring to back up Shida. Aminata squared off with Starkz and both said that they were going to win the TV Title. Athena did not like this and drew the attention back to her and Shida. She wanted to get the signing over with so she could “get to the mall.”

Athena signed the contract and slid it over to Shida. She signed it too and then everyone shook hands and went home without incident.

Ok, its a Contract Signing, so that didn’t happen.

Shida grabbed a Mic and taunted Athena. She knows she’s in the champion’s head and shes going to beat Athena. Athena responded with a slap, and Starkz at an errant kendo stick to the face as the prerequisite brawl broke out, upsetting the table and chairs. Starkz and Athena were about to put Shida through the table, but Aminata interrupted, pulling Starkz out. Shida took the opportunity to throw Athena through the table and stood tall with the ROH Women’s Championship belt.

Backstage: Mark Briscoe, Eddie Kingston

Next, Mark Briscoe and ROH World Champion Eddit Kingston spoke with Lexy Nair in the back. Briscoe reminded us that his brother won the World Title 11 years to the day that Briscoe will face Kingston. It completes the circle to be back in Philly and Briscoe knows Jay will be looking down on him, and he wants to make him proud.

An emotional Kingston acknowledged that he was coming off a loss, and “old Eddie” would look for a bottle to drown his sorrows. He said he’s glad that he’s not the Old Eddie though, because Briscoe deserves to get Kingston at his best for this match. People don’t understand that the ROH championship supersedes AEW. The title means so much because it has history and lineage. For Eddie, Ring of Honor was always the goal.

Kingston said that he and Briscoe are going to bring the Honor back to Ring of Honor. Kingston said that, with all due respect, he CAN’T lose to Briscoe at Supercard of Honor. He hopes that Jay Briscoe will be looking down on BOTH of them and be proud of what they accomplish in the ring. The two men shared their love for each other and the table was set for their title match.

Christopher Daniels, Matt Sydal, & Jack Cartwheel vs. Top Flight (Darius & Dante Martin) & Action Andretti

The main event of the night was a six-man tag match, featuring some pretty high fliers, so the crowd was stoked.

Andretti had his very own Top Flight tights this week, so the team really looked like a cohesive unit. Cartwheel and Darious kicked things off with a series of quick headlocks, rope tosses and, of course, cartwheels. Sydal tagged in, but wasn’t able to get much over on Darious. A tag to Daniels brought in Dante and isolated him from his team.

Andretti was tagged in, and put Daniels on his back with a big lariat. Andretti hit a standing moonsault and Darious and Dante double teamed Daniels, keeping him from tagging in for help. Andretti and Top Flight were working as a true team, which gave them a leg up on their veteran opponents.

Sydal caused a distraction and Daniels dropped him with a DDT. Hot Tags from both teams and all six men began to brawl. Sydal ducked a lariat into an Air Raid Crash and regained control of the match for his team. Dante and Darious double teamed him and then Andretti and Carwheel were tagged in. The two had a really fast and impressive sequence, exchanging moves and dodging offense. In the end Cartwheel caught Andretti in a power slam.

An around-the-world DDT got Andretti a pin on Cartwheel, but it was broken up by Daniels before the count. Cartwheel managed to deke out Darious and Dante, sending them to the outside.

Andretti climbed the ropes and hit a massive splash on Cartwheel to win the match for his team.

Winner: Top Flight & Action Andretti via Pinfall.
