Match Previews
ROH World Championship: Bandido (c) vs. Blake Christian
Bandido enters Salisbury on a reign that has run more than a year, with the most recent retention coming at Final Battle 2025 in December. His title run has been built on technical exchanges and high-flying spots that translate cleanly to the ROH style, and the Maryland defense is one of the most hyped of his championship reign to date.
Blake Christian arrives with momentum after months of climbing the AEW and ROH ranks, his profile rising further when he was tapped to face Will Ospreay in Ospreay’s in-ring return on AEW Dynamite in March. ROH has framed the build as months of turmoil between the two, positioning Christian as the most credible challenger Bandido has faced this calendar year.
A title change here would reshape ROH’s main-event scene heading into the summer and open the door for fresh matchups against the company’s mid-card contenders.
ROH Women’s World Championship, Survival of the Fittest: Athena (c) vs. Maya World vs. Trish Adora vs. Yuka Sakazaki vs. Billie Starkz vs. Zayda Steel
Tony Khan announced the first-ever women’s Survival of the Fittest tournament at the April 6 ROH TV taping, with five qualifying matches producing the challengers for Athena. Persephone was originally one of the five but was pulled in early May after an injury, with Zayda Steel taking her place by defeating Hyan in a replacement qualifier.
Athena’s reign as ROH Women’s World Champion stretches back to October 2022, making her the longest-reigning singles champion in the company. The six-way elimination format presents the most realistic threat to that run since it began.
Yuka Sakazaki, Billie Starkz, and Trish Adora all enter with international and indie credentials deep enough to win on a different night, which makes the field as deep as any women’s match ROH has put together.
ROH World Television Championship: AR Fox (c) vs. Lio Rush
AR Fox won the ROH World Television Championship from Nick Wayne in the run-up to the event, making Supercard of Honor his first defense. Lio Rush is the right kind of first-defense opponent: a former champion in multiple promotions whose pace and style match Fox’s step for step.
This is the kind of match that lives or dies on workrate, and both wrestlers have spent the last two years specifically building reputations for delivering it.
ROH Pure Championship: Lee Moriarty (c) vs. Ace Austin
Lee Moriarty enters Supercard of Honor as the centerpiece of the Pure division after winning the Pure Championship Iron Man classic at Final Battle 2025, a star-making performance that reshaped the title picture.
Ace Austin’s TNA background and pace make him a stylistic match for the Pure Rules format, where rope breaks and closed-fist limits change how every exchange plays out.
ROH Women’s Pure Championship: Deonna Purrazzo (c) vs. Diamante
Deonna Purrazzo has used the ROH Women’s Pure Championship as a platform to highlight her technical wrestling, picking matchups that lean into mat work over storyline-driven feuds. Diamante challenges with a more aggressive offensive approach that should force Purrazzo out of her usual rhythm.
ROH Women’s World Television Championship: Red Velvet (c) vs. Viva Van
Red Velvet has held the ROH Women’s TV title since winning it back from Mercedes Moné at Final Battle 2025. The Salisbury defense is her fourth since regaining the title and her first since March, with Viva Van entering after losing in the Survival of the Fittest qualifying round to Yuka Sakazaki.
AEW National Championship: Mark Davis (c) vs. Xelhua
Mark Davis brings the AEW National Championship onto a Ring of Honor PPV, the kind of cross-promotional booking Tony Khan has used regularly since acquiring ROH in 2022. Xelhua’s lucha background sets up a stylistic clash against Davis’s heavy hard-hitting offense.
Pure Wrestling Rules Match: Nigel McGuinness vs. Josh Woods
Nigel McGuinness returning to in-ring action under Pure Rules is the curio of the card. The former ROH World Champion has spent most of the past decade in a commentary role, with occasional matches over recent years carefully chosen and Pure Rules giving him a stylistic framework that suits his current pace.
Josh Woods is a former ROH Pure Champion and one of the most accomplished Pure Rules wrestlers on the current roster, making him the right opponent to test what McGuinness still has left.
