Ring of Honor on HonorClub 7/16/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/ring-of-honor-on-honorclub-792026.html

We are in Jacksonville, FL. Caprice Coleman & Ian Riccaboni are on commentary.

We get a Lio Rush video to start. He playos with goo, has smoke and says he's coming. He also talks about the rain and says go back.

Mark Sterling puts his crew over before their match, except for Beef. 

ROH World Six Man Tag Team Title Match - Dalton Castle & The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) (c) vs. BEEF & The Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese)

Nese poses in front of Truth. Truth then poses. Nese spears him in the gut. Truth goes up and over and flying headscissors him. Nese is whipped into a boot then is slammed. Nese takes a double splash for 2. 

Turbo side headlocks Beef and shoulder battles with him. They trade lariats. Beef cartwheels and dropkicks him. Ari yanks on Trubo's arm then Turbo lariats him. Ari takes a kneelift + backdrop. The Runners pose.

Truth is held and hit in the gut. Truth is then stomped on. Beef slams Truth and bangs his head off the buckles. Turbo is double pounded on in the corner. Ari neckbreakers Turbo for 2. Truth is snapmared and chinlocked by Beef. Beef side slams Truth for 2.

The heels break up the faces' triple team finisher. Ari flying shoulders Nese on accident. Beef bodyblocks Ari on accident. Beef takes a double team slam. Beef then takes a double elbow drop + double axe handle and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was fine. It made sense with Beef screwing up and The Athletes not liking him anyway (so why are they teaming?). The faces won as expected as The Athletes never win anything here. We didn't see much of Dalton in this one.

The Runners and Dalton are interviewed in the ring after. Truth says nothing succeeds like success. Turbo has nothing really to say. Dalton says they are the greatest trio to step foot in a wrestling ring. Ian Riccaboni says The Lethal Twist are also undefeated. Dalton says Ian has upset him now. He says he gets irate and disgusted with them. Turbo says if The Twist things they can get the belt off his waist, not even can. Dalton puts over The Runners. Truth says if you haven't seen Dalton and The Runners, you haven't seen nothing yet. 

They say The Rougeau Family will be honored at AEW Redemption.

Tim chinlocks him then euros him. Tim misses a corner splash. Ange hits leg kicks. Ange blocks a sunset flip and double stomps him. Ange upkicks him then twists his legs into an ankle lock. Tim then submits.

Thoughts: It's a shame it didn't get more time. What we got was fine here and it was bit more competitive than I expected. Ange won as expected since he's a regular here and Tim is still working on that. 

Main Man Oro vs. Mark Davidson

Thoughts: It was a bit unusual with Mark getting a lot in. Oro won but he didn't exactly get put over here. Oro had some interesting offense here with various rolling kicks. It was average.

Thoughts: It was competitive with a lot of hard shots thrown. What we got wasn't bad. Maybe The Kingdom winning via nefarious means will lead to something? Both teams looked fine here and it was a little better than I expected. 

AR Fox does a video. He says he was champ last time he was here and was crying over a title he doesn't have anymore. Alan Angels comes in, sits down and mocks him. He says nothing is ever good enough for him. Alan says AR trained him 10 years ago, but he didn't care about him and never took him on the road. He says AR didn't believe in him and he did it by himself. Alan says he got signed before AR did. AR says he's not here anymore. Alan says he takes opportunities and says he wants to fight AR. Alan says it won't be student vs teacher but equal vs equal. AR then fakes him out and teases like he will hit him.

AR does a suplex for 2 and AA pushes him away. AR enzugiri's him. AA is on the 2nd rope and AR seated spanish flies him. AR top rope 450's him and wins.

Thoughts: It was the longest match on the show at this point. It was all flying and junior wrestling here. The selling wasn't the best but it went well otherwise. Alan loses in his big return here and it seems like his story of being mad at AR is over.

ROH World Tag Team Title Match - El Sky Team (Mascara Dorada & Mistico) (c) vs. Los Hermanos Chavez (Angel de Oro & Niebla Roja)

Note - I already reviewed this here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/cmll-7102026-viernes-escpectacular.html 

CMLL gives Oro and Roja a plaque for 20 years of service. Oro and Roja are wearing their old Angel de Oro and Angel de Plata masks and outfits here...which also happen to be the same colors Mist and MD are wearing.

Thoughts: Both teams have titles here so someone had to lose and it was the heels. Oro's mask was a downgrade for him here while Roja looked better mask. What we got was fine with them doing a lot of flying. It is hard to show emotion though when your face is covered and everyone had their face covered here.

Chopping It Up with Caprice Coleman

Caprice Coleman talks to Sammy Guevara. Sammy says the pleasure belongs to the viewers. Sammy says the people can talk good or bad, but they are talking about him. He says he held the tag titles three times without losing them. Sammy says he is water and a universal wrestler. He says he has wrestled around the world but still feels a lack of respect. Caprice says Sammy has grown in front of the camera.

Sammy shouts out his daughter and says she made him a better person. He says his daughter can see that he's a guy trying his best. He says he still hasn't become champ but wants to. He says one day he will hold the world title and his daughter and have the world in his arms. He says the sky isn't the limit as there's  a whole universe out there for him.

Thoughts: It was an alright match here with lots of fast paced action. I was surprised Price and Jordan won here since they lose so much, but MxM also tends to lose a lot here. It got a lot of time. I liked the double styles clash and Mansoor took a nice dropkick near the end.

Thoughts: This was beyond random. Cutler hasn't seen an AEW/ROH ring in a long time and Dez is often in tag competition. I don't know why we saw this. It was acceptable but nothing too special. Dez won as expected.

Thoughts: It went well. It got a lot of time to play out. We got some dives here. We saw a little of everyone but Shane and Eddie kind of stayed out a little. This was fine.

ROH World Television Title Match - Lio Rush (c) vs. Lee Johnson

Lee sitout powerbombs Lio for 2. Lio standing spanish flies Lee then cutters him. Lio does a bridging choke and Lee is out. Lio wins.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. It was herky-jerky early and they did a lot of chops that killed the flow. Lio really spammed the cutter and stunner here and him going outside late into this didn't help either. Lio also won as expected.

Overall thoughts: This was an absurdly long edition of ROH at 2 hours and 38 minutes. Why? I have absolutely no idea. There was so much stuff that could have been aired on another show, with Brandon Cutler being the shining example of that. Almost all the matches were random and there wasn't a lot of non-wrestling stuff like usual We did get multiple title matches and multiple champions in action though which was nice. Most of the wrestling was acceptable here, but there was nothing must see on this. MxM Collection's match was my favorite match of the night. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as there was a lot of okay wrestling, but the length was a major negative and it had a lot of the usual issues ROH shows have.
