I reviewed the last new ROH show here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/ring-of-honor-on-honorclub-3262026.html 

Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman are on commentary. 

Eddie Kingston and Ortiz are interviewed. Ortiz says they thought after the parking lot match about what's next. Ortiz says they want to wrestle fresh new talent. Jordan Oliver and Alec Price come in. Ortiz challenges them. Oliver says he'd love to wrestle them. They go to shake hands and Eddie says they have to earn that handshake. 

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

Shane and RR lock up. RR side headlocks him and Shane seats him up top. They push each other. RR knees him in the gut then Shane shoulders him over. Trent comes in, gets chopped, snapmared and dropkicked in the back of the head. Trent takes a double back elbow then a fist drop + standing moonsault combo. Mikey suplexes Trent for 2.

Trent fights off both opponents. RR dropkicks TMDK into each other. Mikey chops his opponents and takes a double flying knee. RR topes Shane outside. Mikey takes a top rope double stomp + b-driver and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was acceptable but not too much more. There was no real reason for this to happen and it was hard to get super into this because of it. I hated the spot where one TMDK member powerbombed the other so he could superplex RR.

Donna Purrazzo is interviewed. DP says when she says she will do something, she does it. She says her open challenge was for anyone in the world. She says Diamante just had to ask if she wanted a shot. She says she will break her arm if she faces here so she can never put anyone in the armbar again.

They trade waistlocks. Josh quickly uses a ropebreak. Matt backrolls him. JW boots him over. JW forearms him outside. JW front facelocks him over the bottom rope and says it's a ropebreak. JW is now done 2 ropebreaks. 

JW saito suplexes Matt then belly to belly overhead suplexes him twice. Matt crabs him and JW uses his third and final ropebreak. Matt goes for another crab, JW ties up his legs, bodyscissors him and submits him.

Price says they know they are the new kids on the block and are ready to prove they are the best. Jordan says they know Eddie and Ortiz are vets. He says they are looking for a chance to establish Price says Bustah and The Brain are going insane.

Thoughts: Please don't like Price near a mic again. He's awful. This guy isn't turned up to 10, he's turned up to 20.

Thoughts: It was acceptable. Eddie's team won as expected. This had a faster pace to it than most matches on here which helped things.  

Overall thoughts: It was a brutal show to sit through. It was 2 hours and 15 minutes of random meaningless matches. Everything mostly got enough time but there were 10 matches. You could not pay me to sit through this again. There was also little going on storyline wise like usual. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 and I did not enjoy this at all.
