Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/10/ring-of-honor-on-honorclub-1012026.html

Tony Schiavone and Paul Wight are on commentary for the first two matches. Caprice Coleman and Ian Riccaboni are on commentary for the others. 

Hook vs Serpentico

Serp offers a handshake but Hook won't go for it. Hook hip throws him. They trade waistlocks. Serp snapmares him into a crucifix. Serp hits armdrags. Serp corner lariats him then slingblade bulldogs him for 2. 

Hook trips him and underhook suplexes him. Hook hits punches to the ribs and headbutts him. Hook exploders him. Hook is sent into the post. Serp chops him outside. Serp chops the post when Hook moves. Hook then stands on Serp's hand. Serp hits shots to the gut and Hook clubs him.

Thoughts: I didn't really get this. Serp got most of the offense in here then got put down pretty easily when Hook got a shot on offense. This didn't help Hook and I don't know what this really accomplished.

Rocky Romero vs. Jordan Oliver

RR running corner lariats him twice then is dropkicked. JO does a reverse razor's edge with RR bridged on the ropes. JO drops him face first from that position and pins him.

Thoughts: It was average and nothing too special here. Jordan winning was a bit of an upset. This was a random one.

Matt Sydal does a promo. He says he has a bone to pick and needs to stand up for Skyflight. He says Bryan Keith has collected his last bounty in ROH and says they don't wrestle for money. He says Bryan has to prove he can hang here and says he will get him for what he did to Dante and Scorpio. He says let's see who the best wrestler is.

Kel then takes a lifting codebreaker for 2. Vert spinning forearms TJ. Vert germans Kel and Van top rope spinning heel kicks Kel. Vert pins Kel.

Thoughts:
It was longer than it needed to be and was nothing special. It kind of felt like a tryout match and it didn't really impress me.

Mance Warner does a promo. He says he's been learning and reading. He says he's been going to night school and understands ROH's pure rules. He talks about the rules and wants another bout with Lee.

He says he wants John Silver's approval and isn't getting it. He says maybe he was brainwashed by himself and believed his own hype. He says The Frat House and LFI kind of left him behind and says he only lost with The Frat's. He said he wanted to get back to his roots with The Dark Order. 

CC says it's hard to get people to admit that they are wrong. Vance says he's willing to prove himself to Silver. He says Silver isn't wrong but isn't giving him a moment to prove himself. He says Silver is maybe blinded too and says they were a legit family at one point. Vance says he's sorry for what he did and says he can't watch the stuff he did and says throwing Brodie's mask was a heinous act. He says he'd like one more chance.

Solo says they've gotten all of the losses so far. He says they are missing the final piece from Page's, Brody's and Bandido's team and it's the moves. Nick asks if they have to do the moves to get the gold. They then all chant "all of the moves".

Thoughts
: I have no idea what they are doing with Griff's team and I don't like it. This will not go anywhere good. MxM had some nice double teams otherwise though and it's always nice to see JTV. It was a match and it's hard to give it a good rating when I dislike what Griff's team is doing so much.

Hyan vs. Billie Starkz

Thoughts:
I'm not sure if I'd have Hyan win this one. They are both ROH regulars but it's a bit of a big loss for Billie. I thought it was average and it could have been a little cleaner.

Athena claps for Hyan after and says she'll call her soon.

Billie Starkz complains about Athena clapping for Hyan in the back. Athena says Billie is a failed experiment. She says she needs someone else to step up and thinks maybe it could be Hyan that joins MIT with Diamante out.

Thoughts:
It wasn't bad. Mark hit lots of lariats. Ortiz tried to show some fire as a face and fought back a little. Ortiz took a stiff apron edge powerbomb here and Mark won as expected.

Overall thoughts: I didn't like most of this show. The main was the only thing that I thought was alright enough here. As always, it's ROH, the matches are random and the champs don't wrestle all that much so it's hard to get too invested. They at least kept at 80 minutes which helped things here. The main was the match of the night. This was not one of ROH's best efforts and I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as it was a little below average.
