Thanksgiving Thursday is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than by catching the latest edition of ROH ON HONOR CLUB at 7pm ET/6pm CT exclusively on Honor Club! Everyone's eyes are looking ahead to ROH's triumphant return to the Hammerstein Ballroom on December 20th for FINAL BATTLE 2024, and that means fighting to earn a spot on that year-end extravaganza every single week! Tonight that means we will see Undisputed Kingdom's Matt Taven continue to make his case for an ROH Pure Championship match with Lee Moriarty as he faces former Pure Champion Josh Woods in a Pure Rules match. Plus, MxM Collection returns to ROH competition for a bout with Iron Savages, JD Drake & Beef try to stop the path of destruction The Righteous are on, AR Fox faces Dark Order's John Silver, The Conglomeration are in trios action against Grizzled Young Veterans and Pat Buck, and we've got another Emergency M.E.M on our hands with ROH Women's World Champion Athena's World Tour!
It all gets underway at 7pm ET/6pm CT on Honor Club, your home for Ring of Honor's weekly action every Thursday night as well as the destination for 20+ years of the greatest professional wrestling as showcased by the “Best of ROH” section featuring the greatest of The Briscoes, Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli, and the Chris Hero: Ring of Hero collection just added!
EMERGENCY M.E.M REDUX!
The ROH bracket of the WRESTLE DYNASTY Women's International Cup has been set with ROH Women's World Champion Athena, ROH Women's World TV Champion Red Velvet, Leyla Hirsch, and Billie Starkz competing to see who will walk into the Tokyo Dome on January 5th. Obviously there is a great deal of history wrapped up between those four competitors, and perhaps this is why “The Fallen Goddess” has called another Emergency M.E.M for tonight's edition of ROH ON HONOR CLUB! Given that these emergency situations have been coming on with increased frequency, perhaps Athena needs to take a look at her own camp and figure out why it's been one emergency after another! Is Billie Starkz the reason? Is it the Minion Bestie Lexy? Or just maybe it's Athena herself who's turned her camp into a perpetual emergency situation? What will “The Forever Champion” have to say as she enters the 719th day of her championship reign?
TAG TEAM BATTLE...
The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) vs. JD Drake & BEEF
The Righteous of Dutch and Vincent are in hot pursuit of the ROH World Tag Titles held by Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara, and just as intensely interested in making their championship aspirations a personal attack on “The Natural”. That video embedded above is just one indicator of the lengths Dutch and Vincent are willing to go to, but we've also witnessed them assault the tag champs seemingly at will, all while the sounds of that cowbell echo in the distance.
Tonight The Righteous continue to make their case as challengers for the ROH World Tag Titles when they face BEEF and JD Drake, men who were victims of a heinous assault by Shane Taylor Promotions one week ago. The odd couple of BEEF and Drake have shown great promise as a team, but can The Righteous be stopped at this point?
PURE DIVISION ACTION...
Undisputed Kingdom's Matt Taven vs. Premier Athletes' Josh Woods
Things are escalating between ROH Grand Slam champion Matt Taven and ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty as the former continues his pursuit of the only ROH championship he's never held. Last week it was running off Shane Taylor Promotions as they assaulted JD Drake and BEEF, but this week it takes the form of a Pure Rules match between former Pure Champion Josh Woods and Taven! Surprisingly this is the first-time these two men have ever met inside the squared circle one-on-one, though they have been mutual participants in several multi-man affairs during their Ring of Honor tenure.
Woods has also been in pursuit of reclaiming that Pure Title ever since Wheeler Yuta dethroned him two years ago, so this battle tonight has a definite impact on the future of Lee Moriarty's title reign. Will Matt Taven continue to justify his status as a contender with another Pure Rules win, or will this be the night “The Technical Beast” Josh Woods reminds everyone why he was champ for 201 days?
TAG TEAM BOUT...
MxM Collection (Mansoor & Mason Madden) vs. Iron Savages (Bronson & Boulder)
It's been a few weeks since we were last graced with their presence on Honor Club, but tonight MxM Collection is back on the ROH runway! Mansoor and Mason Madden are 4-0 in tag team competition since their debut during the DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024: ZERO HOUR, and looking to add to that record with this Iron Savages bout. The sauce-sippin' hosses Bronson and Boulder could not be more different than the pristine manicured MxM Collection, but the one thing they have in common is a desire to rise up the rankings and challenge for the ROH World Tag Team Titles! Which pair will end up thankful for their success this Thanksgiving?
ALSO IN ACTION:
- The Conglomeration vs. Grizzled Young Veterans & Pat Buck!
-Queen Aminata!
-LEEJ (Lee Johnson & EJ Nduka)!!
-And More!!!
