It's Thursday night and that means Ring of Honor is back tonight on Honor Club with an all-new addition of our weekly program! We've got several exciting match-ups on tap as we heads towards our 100th episode of ROH ON HONOR CLUB next week, including ROH Women's World TV Champion Red Velvet in Proving Ground action, STP uniting with LEEJ for an eight-man tag, Blake Christian in singles competition, The Beast Mortos facing Premier Athletes' Tony Nese, and Katsuyori Shibata uniting with The Outrunners and ROH World TV Champion Komander!
ROH ON HONOR CLUB kicks off at 7pm ET/6pm CT every single Thursday exclusively at WatchROH.com! Not only is it the home for ROH's weekly presentation, but it's also the only place to experience Ring of Honor's 20+ year history of the best pound-for-pound wrestling on the planet! From TV archives dating back to 2011, hundreds of live events beginning with THE ERA OF HONOR BEGINS, and the “Best Of...” section highlighting the myriad competitors who've graced the ROH ring over the years including Kenny Omega, Claudio Castagnoli, the Women of Honor, this week's DESCENT INTO MADNESS offering, and so much more! It's updated once a week with a ROH classic collection. However this week, on the anniversary of his tragic passing, we will honor the memory of the late Jay Briscoe with a second offering on Friday: RAISED IN SANDY FORK: THE LIFE & TIMES OF THE BRISCOES!
PROVING GROUND...
Last week ROH Women's World TV Champion Red Velvet welcomed Jazmyne Hao onto the Proving Ground and shut down her hopes of earning a title match in under three minutes. Tonight the champ has laid out an open invitation once again for someone to try and earn a future title match! We know “Legit” Leyla Hirsch has her sights set on a Women's World TV Title rematch, but Red Velvet told her that'll only take place on Red's time, meaning Hirsch has to sit back and watch other women shoot their shot on the Proving Ground!
Who will step up to the call this week? Will it be another woman from outside the ROH sphere looking to make their name, or will it be a challenge from within the ROH locker room? Tune into Honor Club tonight to see what the future holds for Red Velvet and her Women's World TV Title!
ONE-ON-ONE...
The Beast Mortos vs. Premier Athletes' Tony Nese
Back in September on COLLes to go their separate ways.
Tonight their paths dovetail once more as The Beast Mortos returns to Ring of Honor for the first time since his HONOR CLUB #78 ROH World Championship match against Mark Briscoe, and he'll be staring across the ring at Tony Nese! Coincidentally, that night was also the last singles outing for Tony Nese in ROH, but he's looking to bring the fight to the masked powerhouse in their first singles battle! Will it be a triumphant return to ROH for The Beast Mortos, or will Nese and his Premier Athlete ilk use their numbers to stack the deck?
EIGHT-MAN TAG TEAM BOUT...
Shane Taylor Promotions (ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty & Shane Taylor) and LEEJ (Lee Johnson & EJ Nduka) vs. Dark Order (Alex Reynolds & Evil Uno), Boulder, & Serpentico
Coming off an eight-man victory over Dark Order and Iron Savages on HONOR CLUB #97, and a tag victory over Gates of Agony last week on HONOR CLUB #98, not to mention Lee Moriarty's successful Pure Championship defense over Nigel McGuinness at FINAL BATTLE 2024, it's safe to say that Shane Taylor Promotions is on a bit of a roll. Tonight they aim to continue building that momentum, this time by uniting with LEEJ of EJ Nduka and Lee Johnson, to take on the unique pairing of The SAP's Serpentico, Iron Savages' Boulder, and Dark Order's Alex Reynolds and Evil Uno! Between these two nascent pairings, who will rise up to victory and climb the ladder here in Ring of Honor?ISION, “Smart” Mark Sterling recruited The Beast Mortos for a trios match uniting him with Ariya Daivari and Tony Nese to face Hologram, Kyle O'Reilly, and Mark Briscoe. That night Hologram pinned Tony Nese to score the win for his team, leaving The Beast Mortos and Premiere Athlete to part ways until tonight!
This is Beast Mortos' first match in ROH since he fought Mark Briscoe for the ROH World Title during HONOR CLUBN #78, coincidentally also the last ROH event where Tony Nese fought in singles competition. Will the masked monster score victory in his return to ROH competition, or will Nese and his Premiere Athlete allies stack the deck against The Beast?
