Ring of Honor/Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling: Global Wars Ignition 3/27/2026

Note - This was taped on 3/27/2026 at ROH/MLP Global Wars Canada. For some reason, it wasn't aired until 6/29.

Billie Starkz vs. Maya World

They shake hands and BS tries to hit her. BS back elbows her. Maya spin kicks her in the gut and headscissors her down off the ropes. Maya dropkicks her off the apron. They go out and Maya forearms her down. 

Maya chops her back. Maya is sent into the steps and her head is banged off the steps. BS forearms her then hits mounted corner shots. Maay goes p and over. Maya bridges out of a shot and upkicks her. Maya is stuck on the 2nd rope and backbreakered for 2.

BS chokes her on the ropes. BS forearms her and snapmares her. BS kicks her in the back. BS boots her in the face and stomps her. BS chinlocks her. BS throws her down backwards. Maya hits forearms. BS spin kicks her in the face then Maya rolls her into a double stomp.

Maya pumping knees her and germans her. Maya asai moonsaults her for 2. BS cradles her and they trade cradles for 2 counts. BS knees her in the face then corner lariats her. BS hits oblivion on the knee for 2.

They get on the 2nd rope and Maya 2nd rope sunset bombs her. Maya shining wizard's her and pins her.

Thoughts: It was a basic match for the most part. It was competitive with both going for pins. What we got was fine. This was a pre-show match and did what it was supposed to. Maya winning at this time was definitely an upset, though in June 2026, I'd say no.

Overall thoughts: We only had one match here. It was a pre-show match and it was fine but nothing must see. You can get through this is under 10 minutes so it's a decent value for your time, but that's about it. You could skip this one.

ROH Supercard of Honor 2026 5/15/2026

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.

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 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.

Lio running spanish flies him. Lio top rope frogsplashes him for 2. Lio grabs the ROH TV Title outside. The ref takes it from here. Action Andretti then pushes Lio off the top. AR brainbusters Lio then 450's him off the top to win.

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.

Ace helictoper kicks him off the ropes. AA runs at him and Lee goes for the kimura. AA tries to use a rope break, but he's all out, so he throws Lee over the top. Lee gets back in and Ace swinging flatliners him into a koji clutch. Lee uses his last rope break to escape.

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.

Xel hits chops and flying headbutts him. Xel armdrags him then overhead suplexes him for 2. Xel lifts him and drops him on his butt. Xel knee lifts him then hits mounted corner punches.  

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.

Thoughts: It didn't quite have the structure here. Both of these teams are faces and it would have worked better with a heel team in there. I didn't love the ending either here. The match was still acceptable though with a lot of stiffness. 

Josh Alexander does a video from his car. He says he just suffered a severe injury and he will need surgery. He says he hurt his knee and there's no timetable for his return.

Thoughts: Josh is older and he's a tough guy to rely on as he has a long history of injuries. I can think of at least 4 injures off the top of my head with him. He's not someone who should really be holding a promotion's main title.

ROH Women's World Television Title Match - Red Velvet (c) vs. Alice Crowley

This is Big Al from JCW and they bring that up.

Deonna Purrazzo is interviewed about her match. She puts over her opponent. She says she will walk in and out champ.

Thoughts: It was a fun little tag. Gujjar did some flying. Mike got to do his slams and the heels kept up with fast offense. I liked it. 

I will not be covering Deonna Purrazzo's match. She won as expected via submission.

Ath then picks up Tay and bangs her face off the mat after.

Scott D'Amore does a video. He says they need to be a platform where they can be seen. It's then announced that they will air MLP Mayhem in July on TSN.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time. It wasn't quite as fast as you would think or as wild. What we got was alright and definitely more toned down. If you are looking for a high flying spot, they did some flying, but this wasn't that. I'd be interested to know the politics behind this one as Rich is seemingly aligned with TNA yet is losing to AEW wrestlers on PPV's here.

MLP Multiverse is on 4/17 during Wrestlemania Weekend.

Thoughts: It was a bit of a mess with 8 people involved. People came in and out at their leisure for the most part and there was a lot going on. It was okay enough overall but nothing too memorable. 

Overall thoughts: It was an interpromotional show, so there were a lot of random matches and limited storylines involved and that doesn't make for the most enticing wrestling. The show was okay as a whole. Ricochet/Swann or Raja/Grayson were the best matches here and I thought Grayson was the MVP of the show. I don't think they did a ton to really put the MLP crew over though. This was pretty much all wrestling here and nothing else. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 overall but wouldn't really recommend it. 

Ring of Honor Final Battle 2025 12/5/2025

BS is picked up for a german and flatlineers her out of it. BS top rope swantons her and DP no sells it with a pin attempt. DP pulls both arms back and BS taps out.

Thoughts: Tony really has a thing for making Billie lose in big matches. Look, this title is meaningless and it really doesn't matter who wins, but you'd expect Billie to win since she is actually used. They went almost 14 minutes here. DP did various arm submissions but didn't really work the arms much in between it. BS similarly didn't have a lot of logic in what she did here. I thought it was funny how they hyped up BS taking a russian legsweep into the table as being so painful then two seconds later, she was back to normal and doing superkicks. This was a flawed match and I would say it was only average. 

Queen Aminata comes out after and shake hands with DP. Queen was supposed to fight her in the tournament but she got injured.

Thoughts: I liked the ending to the original time limit here with Shane punching out Nigel to cost him a fall. That creative and clever. They had a good match here and kept this entertaining throughout the 30 minutes. They also told a nice story with Nigel making comeback against big odds and seemingly pulling it out, only to get screwed. I would have just stuck with Shane costing Nigel the match and having Lee win that way since he was winning anyway and since he's the heel.

Lee offers a handshake after. Nigel yells at a fan in the crowd and gives Lee his old ROH Pure Rules title.

Thoughts: Wow, I'm surprised they had Red here. That was a big shock. I can't say they built this up well from what I saw, and they should since this was one of Mone's 13 titles and theoretically a big deal. I feel like they did this to prove that Mone will lose titles if asked. The match was fine but didn't have a great story to it. Red did a bunch of rolling moves here that drove Mone face first into the mat.

Mort top rope corksrew moonsaults Tom and pins him.

Thoughts: I had big expectations for this but it wasn't that great. Mort and SG are faster workers and they never did the slower heel heat section where they work a hold or something and give the faces time to sell. And that's a problem considering Tom and AP are both underdog faces who need that time to sell. They just didn't do a good job of capturing the momentum here and never got close to making this one great.

Eddie Kingston vs Josh Woods

I have no idea why this is on here. Eddie hasn't been on ROH since April and Josh hasn't been around for 3 months.

Thoughts: I didn't like this one that much. The work was fine but it was a random match on an already long PPV with a predictable outcome. It was just a way to get Eddie a win on this card for some reason. It should have just been a squash. Eddie looked a little better than usual here as his stuff connected a bit more.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. They messed around too much early on and spent endless amounts of time outside here. Even the finish was silly with Ric pushing a Boy into DC then hitting a spirit gun in the ring and pinning him.

Band chops Hech in the ring. Hech flapjacks him. Hech rolls Band around for 2. Band poisonrana's Hech. Band tilt-a-whirl's into a cradle on Hech and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a longer bout here. I liked that they tried to tell a story with the heels working together and Band getting his injured shoulder worked on. It was mostly all flying and crazy moves until people started getting eliminated then Hech and Band did a 1v1 at the end. That changed the pace and the flow some and felt a little boring after everything we had just seen. I can't say I loved this one as it went too long, was mostly based around spots and really slowed down by the end.

Mercedes Mone is hugging her TBS Title in the back. Leila Grey comes up to her and says she's still the baddest b!tch. Mone says get the f*ck out of my face and asks who she thinks she is.

She asks if she's doing anything tommorrow (hinting at a title show at Collision) Mone says no to the match and walks off but we are told it is signed anyway.

Pers hits a razor's edge for 2.  

Pers flurries her. Pers goes up top and Ath top rope german's her. Ath hits an o-face off the top and wins.

Thoughts: It went way too long and wasn't that good. It was mostly all brawling here and them roughing each other up without a good story or logic to it. Pers had 0 chance of winning this one going into it and it was hard to buy that she was winning here. I feel like I write the same thing about Athena every time but there's no real clear end in sight to her reign and just like it was 2 years ago, the only person who seems like they ever might have a chance of beating her is Billie, who lost to her already.

Overall thoughts: It was a very long PPV at 4 hours. The main and semi-main went close to 30 minutes a piece and we had a 30 minute iron man as well. Reviewing this show was an iron man match on its own. Dalton and Eddie's matches both could have been cut here easy and both the main and semi-main could have had time cut off of them without losing much. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 as it was just too long. The 6-man title match and the iron man match were the only matches I really liked her.

Deonna Purrazzo then comes out for some reason. She goes face to face with Queen and maybe piefaces her.

Thoughts: They definitely overdid it some here but they did go all out and had an action packed match. The Kingdom kind of were faces here but they weren't real face like. It was definitely an indy style match but I think I was okay with this.

ROH Pure Title - Lee Moriarty (c) vs Xelhua

Xel's dad SWAT is in the crowd.

Thoughts: They did too much here especially since Paul isn't truly a wrestler. They had the right idea and both did what they were supposed to do but it went too far. 

QT rubs Paul on the head after.

ROH Tag Titles - Sammy Guevara and Rush (c) vs. The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum)

Sammy hugs Dralistico and Rush after, seemingly joining LFI. The Von Erich's come down. Sammy hugs The VE's and turns on them with LFI. The VE's then get stomped.

If you were looking for a great story, this wasn't really it. The match was fine just far from the classic they shot for.

Thoughts: Ath won as expected at 26:01 to continue her neverending reign. Mina worked the leg and did a pretty good job of following up on it. Ath worked the hand early and forgot about it until the finish. It was better than I expected and all things considered it was an okay main event.

Overall thoughts: This went 3 hours and 48 minutes. The first two matches were fine. Queen vs Taya wasn't good with Taya looking like a fool for using her rope breaks quickly. The Kingdom returned and lost like they always do but it was an okay indy style match. I liked Lee vx Xelhua and it was a submissions based match as expected. Paul/QT had the right idea but it went too far. Sammy Guevara turned heel and beat The Outrunners with Rush. The story didn't make much sense but the match was fine. Band/Hech went 37 minutes for some reason and it was an okay wrestling match but it had no great story to it. The main could have been a bit better if Ath had followed up on the hand work a little more but it was a good enough main event.

I would give this a 7 out of 10 overall. AEW/ROH shows are so long and have so many matches that you can usually find something you like. Similar to poker, the three of kind with all 2's is still better than a pair of aces and having a bunch of decent matches helps get a higher rating with me than a card where they go all out but end up doing too much and bring down the match.

Thoughts: It was a bit rushed. The match should have ended on DQ when the ref was pulled out. It was dumb to bring Negative One out without the mask since he always wears the mask. The match was still acceptable enough though.

Thoughts: I wasn't a fan of it. There wasn't much selling and the moves didn't mean a whole lot here. It was an indy style match with lots of flips and cool moves and not much else. I also thought this went a lot longer than it needed to.

Hechicero goes to challenge Band after. 

Overall thoughts: It was a long show. I liked the opener and was okay with the 4-way. Panther/Moriarty was boring. The tag title match was fine. Nick/Titan went too long and brought down an otherwise okay match. The women's 4-way was better than I expected and it wasn't a bad match. Athena/Rosa was a solid match with the two working body parts and Athena winning again. I didn't like the main at all as it was indy style match with lots of big moves and little selling. I'd give this one a 6 out of 10 total. There was nothing you really needed to see here and there were a couple of decent matches that put it over the edge of just being average. Athena/Rosa was the match of the night.
