ROH Supercard of Honor 2026 5/15/2026
We are in Salisbury, MD. Caprice Coleman and Ian Riccaboni are on commentary.
Pure Rules Match - Nigel McGuinness vs. Josh Woods
They grapple a bit to start. Nigel wristlocks him. JW backs him up in the corner. Nigel grabs him by the ears and JW grabs the ropes. The ref counts it as a ropebreak.
JW takes him down by the waist and arm. Nigel knee drops and leg drops the arm. Nigel armlocks him and JW cradles him for 2. Nigel eye pokes JW then double throat thrusts him. JW sleepers him and Nigel ropebreaks. Nigel is down to one ropebreak while JW has two left.
Both men grab the headset as does the ref. Nigel and JW say this match isn't going as expected. The ref says both can be expected to be counted out if they don't get back in. Nigle hits him inside and puts the ref in his way. Nigel front facelocks him and JW grabs the ropes. They call it a ropebreak. Nigel then just grabs his head and JW grabs the ropes, using his final ropebreak.
JW sends Nigel into the rails. JW swings him into the rails. JW knees him in the gut. Nigel is sat on the 2nd rope and backbreakered. JW ankle locks him. Nigel uses his last ropebreak.
Nigel pulls JW's arm into the ropes. Nigel bridging cutters him on the floor. They trade forearms outside. They pump kick each other at the same time. JW hits euros then Nigel running euros him in the corner. JW backbreakers him and lariats him for 2.
JW ankle locks him. JW is pulled face first into the buckles. Nigel gets a 2 count on him. Nigel puts him in an london dungeon. They trade shots and Nigel rebound lariats him to win.
Thoughts: I didn't like this one at all. They really made a mockery of the ropebreaks here. If someone is grabbing your face in the corner, what are you supposed to do if you can't even touch the ropes? The spot with them talking on the headsets outside during the match was completely out of character for both guys and the finish wasn't done well. Then there's Josh Woods. This guy has been winning every Pure Rules match he has been in without getting a title shot for months. Then he loses to Nigel, who doesn't even wrestle here regularly and has lost a bunch of times. This was bad.
ROH Women's World Television Title Match - Red Velvet (c) vs. Viva Van
I don't know how Van got this match. She's won one match total in Tony Khan's ROH and it was against a jobber.
They shake hands. Van rolling armbars her and Red tries to pin her. Red takes her down by the wrist and legdrops her arm. Red leg lariats her. Van spinning heel kicks her for 2. Van elbow drops the leg then stretch mufflers her. Van bow and arrows her.

Van air raid crashes her for 2. Red iconoclasm's her for 2. Van does a lifting codebreaker for 2. Van sitout powerbombs her for 2. They trade pin attempts. Red spin kicks her in the head and wins.
Thoughts: I didn't buy that Van was going to win this and she didn't. Van wasn't as sloppy as usual but neither girl hit their offense that clean here. It wasn't that good.
ROH World Television Title Match AR Fox (c) vs. Lio Rush
Lio now has paint on his face and body and has some weird eye contacts on.
AR wants a handshake and Lio lariats him. Lio kicks him then AR enzugiri's him. AR hits another enzugiri and Lio yells in the corner. Lio corkscrew kicks him in the face. Lio then hits 2 lariats.

Thoughts: The match was awful. Nobody sold a single thing and they were going 100MPH at all times. The finish was stupid as well. Lio hasn't been responding to Action Andretti's phone calls, so he cost him the match.
Sammy Guevara is interviewed. Lexy says he can't defend his tag titles due to issues with Mortos' visa. Sammy says he was a singles star before teaming with LFI and it got him thinking about the AEW World Title. He says he's climbing the mountain to be champ. He says he beat Darby Allin 4 times and is challenging him for Collision tomorrow.
Thoughts: Sammy hasn't been on AEW TV since November and he hasn't won a singles match in AEW since May 2025, which is one year ago. Him getting a title shot is ridiculous.
ROH Women's Pure Title Match - Deonna Purrazzo (c) vs. Diamante
They lock up. DP boots her in the corner. Dia hits forearms and hurricanrana's her. DP goes for the armbar and Dia backslides her. DP powerbombs her then does an armbar.

Dia gives DP the finger then slaps her. DP slaps her and powerbombs her. DP double armbars her and submits her.
Thoughts: The build to this was all about Diamante putting armbars on Deonna. Naturally, she focused on the arm very little and instead focused on the knee. It was the usual Deonna match where she did a bunch of armbar attempts before succeeding. They did make it look like they were trying to hurt each other and I'd say it was alright, but the match didn't really fit the story going into it.
Action Adnretti does a promo. He says he always tries to do the right thing. He says when life got rough for Lio Rush, he told him to do what he needs to do and said he waited for him. He says Lio wasn't there for him tonight when he needed him. He says he was discarded when he tried to do the right thing. Action says it makes him question everything and it woke up a fire in him. He says Cru is done.

Lee back elbows him. Ace backrolls him and Lee goes for the chicknwing. Lee bridge pins him using the ropes and pins him since there's no rope breaks.
Thoughts: Some of the rope break rules were being used a bit too freely here. The idea is supposed to be that you can't rope break out of submissions, not use the ropes against people and punish people just for touching them. This was almost all technical wrestling though and aside from the rope break issues, I liked the match. We got to see Ace do technical stuff that he usually doesn't do and Lee mostly worked the arm all match long.
Red Velvet does a promo. She says it's another successful win and it feels good. She says what doesn't feel good is watching Dynamite and The Owen Hart bracket and not seeing herself on it. She says she's p!ssed, angry and jealous but motivated. She says Willow Nightingale's name was on the bracket. She says Willow has an open contract for the TBS Title and she just signed it. She says she will come to Collision to kick her @ss and show why the queen of TV is about to become the face of TBS.
Thoughts: And this is the problem with The Owen Hart Tournament and the general treatment of ROH. You can be champ for years here and yet not get put on AEW over others who often aren't even signed by the company (Hazuki and Sareee).
Lexy Nair interviews Jordan Oliver and Alex Price on the stage. Jordan says they wanted to wrestle for the tag titles tonight but the titles weren't defended again. Jordan says they will be first in line for when they are defended. Jordan says they strategical, calculated and they have a plan for any situation always. Alec says if any other team wants to go, they are ready.
Mike Bennett and Matt Taven then come out, after not being around for months. They get a "Welcome Back" chant which is nice. Mike says he turns 41 tomorrow. He asks if they asked if anyone is feeling froggy. Mike says "ribbit, ribbit". Mike says daddy's home. Matt says this their house and their kingdom. Matt says if you come for the king you better not miss as they are neck strong. Matt says if you want their ROH Tag Titles (they aren't the champs now), you have to go through them. They then shake hands.
ROH World Six Man Tag Team Title Match - Shane Taylor Promotions (Carlie Bravo, Shane Taylor & Shawn Dean) vs Dalton Castle & The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd)

Dalton takes shots from all 3 opponents then a double punch into a package piledriver. Dalton spinning back elbows Shane then hits a bangarang on him. The Runners hit their double elbow drop while Dalton does the double axe handle. Dalton pins Shane.
Thoughts: This was a similar to AR Fox's title win earlier this week. The Runners and Dalton have been winning squashes for a long time. They certainly deserved a shot and they have been around a lot. Instead of coming up with a story and a reason for them to win, they just had them win through an open challenge. They didn't have to break the creative bank here to have these two teams do promos on each other and set up a match, but they put no effort into it. The match was solid with the heels triple teaming the faces and using cheap tactics then the faces came back and won. It was simple wrestling and it worked as it always does.
Shane Taylor Promotions attacks The Runners and Dalton after. Lee Moriarity comes down to help. Orange Cassidy and Mark Briscoe then come out to help randomly. OC stares down Anthony Ogogo. OC does weak punches on him. Ogogo goes for a punch. Mark hits Ogogo with a chair in the gut and STP pulls Ogogo out.
AEW National Title Match Mark Davis (c) vs. Xelhua

Mark backdrops him then enzugiri's him. Xel rolls and does an ankle lock on Mark. Xel kicks the leg and Mark short piledrivers him for 2. Xel euros and chops him. Mark 2nd rope release suplexes him. Xel rolls him up for 2. Xel slams him.
Xel misses a top rope senton. Mark short piledrivers him. Mark hits a big lariat and pins him.
Thoughts: Mark used his size on Xel and Xel did various submissions. Xel should have just picked a body part instead of trying to work the arm and the leg at times. It was acceptable but they didn't get as much out of this as they could have.
Shane Taylor Promotions and Lee Moriarty are interviewed. Dean says everytime they look, a group of goofies get in their business. Bravo asks why Mark Briscoe was out there. Shane says Mark knows what happens when they get in the way of their titles. Shane says they will beat them anytime and anywhere. Bravo says they should do this tomorrow on Collision with a random STP member vs a random Conglomeraton member.
Mark Briscoe and Orange Cassidy do a promo. Mark says they want a fight with STP too and accept their challenge. Mark says he needs to get tuned up vs Ciampa on Wednesday and says Kyle needs tuned up for Mox on Wednesday too. Mark says the word of the day is hometown @ss whooping and it's going down tomorrow.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. Blake worked the knee early and forgot about it while Band still did his usual flying with issues. It was just a lot of flips and cool moves without any meaning. I don't love Blake, but I was hoping he'd win just because he actually appears on the show frequently while Band is rarely ever around.
Swerve Strickland comes out (with Prince Nana) and house call kicks Band twice. Swerve then vertebreakers him on an open chair. Refs then come to check on Band.

Thoughts: Athena won as always. No surprises there. Ath was a bit more rude than usual to Billie this week and cost her this match. I'm not sure how Billie throwing in the towel on a match she was in would have worked. The match had some rough moments but went well. It kept my interest and was a good main.
Diamante comes out and helps Athena up after. Dia talks with Ath and Billie sits upset on the ladder rung. Ath looks at her and shoves her. BS is upset. Ath yells at her.
Overall thoughts: It was your usual long Tony Khan PPV with the PPV going four hours. It didn't need to go as long as it did. The first match had booking issues and they got too cute with the ropebreaks. Red/Viva wasn't good. AR Fox/Rush was an indy style match with no one selling and Action Andretti interfering. Deonna/Diamante didn't follow the story they had set up for this at all but it was alright. I liked Lee/Ace as a technical bout, but they also used the ropebreaks in ways they shouldn't be used. The 6-man tag match was a solid bout. Mark Davis/Xelhua wasn't as good as it should have been but it was acceptable. I didn't like Blake/Bandido as it was an indy style match. The main was good and hopefully will lead somewhere. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 and say it was above average, but the show really did have a lot of booking and rules issues all throughout.
