ROH WOMEN’S WORLD TITLE HALLOWEEN RING OF HORROR MATCH…
Abadon has been lurking across the ROH Ladies’s World Champion for weeks now, placing worry into the center of “The Fallen Goddess”, inflicting Athena to leap at her personal shadow, to consistently look over her personal shoulder to see if “The Dwelling Useless Lady” was lurking, and fairly presumably the rationale why Athena’s championship celebration has been delayed almost 50 days since she broke Samoa Joe’s 20-year file because the longest-reigning title holder in ROH’s historical past.
Tonight there isn’t any extra working, no extra ducking or dodging the menace that Abadon represents to the ROH Ladies’s World Champion, as a result of tonight they are going to be chained on the wrist in a Halloween Ring of Horror Match the place something goes, falls rely wherever, and the ROH Ladies’s World Title is on the road! Throughout the course of her reign, Athena has survived a 2-of-3 Falls Tables Match towards Nyla Rose and a Chicago Road Struggle towards Kiera Hogan, however over the course of the final 691 days she has not skilled something like this Ring of Horror match set to happen tonight throughout ROH ON HONOR CLUB! Abadon brings a way of uneasiness to each combat they’re concerned in, the sensation that one thing horrific may occur at any second, and when the World Title is on the road with completely no guidelines constraining them from unleashing stated horror, this may occasionally simply be the final evening Athena calls herself the “Perpetually Champion”!
That being stated, if Athena by some means survives the hell Abadon is ready to unleash, who’s left to step up and problem her for the Ladies’s World Title? She’s already put down 23 challenges to her title from 19 totally different ladies, to not point out turning away 32 potential challenges in Eliminator/Proving Floor bout, so if not Abadon than who? That is a query which will pop up come Friday morning, however for now the one which have to be posited is what to do about Abadon? How does one survive a Ring of Horror towards a competitor who embodies that phrase?
Undisputed Kingdom’s Matt Taven vs. Aaron Solo
There is just one title in Ring of Honor that Undisputed Kingdom’s Matt Taven has by no means held, a title with guidelines not like another within the promotion, guidelines that Taven himself has by no means skilled: the Pure Championship. By the point Matt Taven had his first match in ROH, the Pure Title had been unified with the ROH World Title by Bryan Danielson, seemingly making the opportunity of Pure Champion Matt Taven a pipe dream. All that modified in September 2020 when the match started to crown the primary Pure Champion since August 12, 2006, making it a definite risk Taven may turn into the one man to carry each title in firm historical past, but he by no means set foot into the Pure Division, not to mention wrestled a single match underneath Pure Guidelines.
Tonight on HONOR CLUB that modifications as, coming off a tag group victory over ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty and Shane Taylor six days in the past on RAMPAGE, Matt Taven takes on his first-ever Pure Guidelines bout towards Aaron Solo! Stylistically the Pure Guidelines swimsuit Solo, however this will likely be simply his second contest underneath these pointers, his first happening throughout HONOR CLUB #78 simply two months in the past, so he is nonetheless understanding the intricacies of how the Pure sport will be performed.
Will this be the evening the place Solo steps up a degree and takes down a ROH Grand Slam Champion, or will it’s Matt Taven who secures his first Pure victory and maybe strikes nearer to a shot at Lee Moriarty’s championship?
Premier Athletes’ Ariya Daivari vs. Komander
Coming off his failed ROH World Tv Championship problem towards “The Machine” Brian Cage, Komander is true again in motion seeking to earn one other shot! This time round he faces Premier Athletes’ Ariya Daivari of their first-ever assembly contained in the squared circle. Total Komander is coming into this combat with three wins in his final 4 ROH matches whereas Daivari is available in off a loss to Sammy Guevara in his final ROH singles match. Can Komander rebound strongly or will Daivari have the ability to flip Komander’s championship defeat right into a victory of his personal?
BEEF & JD Drake vs. Peter Avalon & Preston Vance
Final Friday on RAMPAGE we noticed JD Drake step as much as BEEF’s aspect in lieu of his Workhorsemen accomplice Anthony Henry’s damage, accompanying him to the ring for his combat towards The Beast Mortos, and although that singles outing didn’t go BEEF’s means, Drake is standing by BEEF’s aspect for this tag group battle towards one other impromptu duo: Preston Vance and Peter Avalon!
Whereas BEEF and Drake don’t have anything in frequent save Anthony Henry, Vance and Avalon do not even have that, all they have are a handful of matches as opponents whereas Vance was nonetheless with Darkish Order and Avalon rode with JD Drake as The Wingmen. It was somewhat over two years in the past that Vance, underneath his Ten moniker and alongside Evil Uno, defeated Drake and Avalon in tag group competitors, however now the roles are all blended up and everybody right here is in search of their place within the grand scheme of ROH. Will Drake and BEEF gel in addition to Henry and JD, or can Avalon and Vance get on the identical web page to attain a victory over these tag group partner-in-laws (or one thing) by marriage?
Darkish Order (Alex Reynolds, Evil Uno, & John Silver) vs.
Iron Savages (Boulder & Bronson) and Jacked Jameson
Darkish Order has been in pursuit of the ROH World Six-Man Championship titles for months on finish, dealing with Dustin Rhodes and The Von Erichs in an Eliminator Match at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2024 final July the place the winners moved on to combat Undisputed Kingdom at BATTLE OF THE BELTS XI to crown new Six-Man Champions. Dustin, Marshall, and Ross had been victorious that evening, and since then Darkish Order have been engaged with “The Pure” in a single type or one other, be it alongside Sammy Guevara as a part of the ROH World Tag Title image, or with the Von Erich boys.
But of their final ROH outing, Alex Reynolds and John Silver had been in a position to take down the duo of Jacked Jameson and Boulder within the latter’s first Ring of Honor match as a tag group, however that does not imply Iron Savages are down with Darkish Order but. Tonight throughout HONOR CLUB the entire of the unit, Jameson, Boulder, and Bronson, are gunning for the total Darkish Order in trios competitors! Can Iron Savages show the dominant trio when combating all collectively, or will it’s the skilled fringe of Darkish Order that wins out tonight on this conflict of potential championship contenders?
Premier Athletes’ Josh Woods vs. The Conglomeration’s Tomohiro Ishii
The final time we noticed Tomohiro Ishii in ROH competitors, the previous ROH World TV Champion was placing down Ariya Daivari and Tony Nese over the course of some weeks in August. Shortly thereafter Chris Jericho and his Studying Tree took out Ishii, forcing him to return to Japan to get better, but additionally participate in NJPW’s ROAD TO DESTRUCTION 2024 tour in September, the ROAD TO KING OF PRO WRESTLING 2024 tour in October, in addition to the ROYAL QUEST IV occasion at London’s Crystal Palace. By way of that every one, he solely took half in a single singles match, a RevPro loss to Luke Jacobs with the Undisputed British Heavyweight Title on the road, however now he is able to get again to competitors right here within the states as evidenced by this previous Wednesday evening on DYNAMITE as seen within the above embedded video. It was nearly two years in the past, throughout Jericho’s first reign with the ROH World Title, that “The Stone Pitbull” wore “The Ocho” out together with his heavy fingers of their ROH World Championship bout, and it seems to be like Ishii desires one other shot at Jericho now that he is “The Nueve”! That quest begins tonight as Ishii tries to undergo Josh Woods throughout HONOR CLUB whereas Woods seems to be to rebound from the Proving Floor loss to Mark Briscoe he suffered in his final ROH singles bout!
Will Ishii make a case for being the primary challenger for Jericho’s second ROH World Title reign or will it’s the previous ROH Pure Champion who begins to make his case for a World Title problem?
-Woman Frost vs. Reyna Isis!
