Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for April 30, 2016

Matches from this episode are from Honor Rising: Japan 2016, except where indicated.

Hiroshi Tanahashi, "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin, Moose and Tomoaki Honma beat Bullet Club (Bad Luck Fale, Cody Hall, Tama Tonga, Yujiro Takahashi).

Jay Lethal and Truth Martini talk about going to a Japanese massage parlor.

Jay Lethal retains the ROH World Championship against Lio Rush on April 1st as part of Night 1 of Supercard of Honor X. (The match was originally against Tomohiro Ishii for the ROH World Television Championship, but Ishii was unable to defend due to his commitments to Japan.) Jay Lethal then says there is nobody left to defend the title against, when all of a sudden, Colt Cabana makes a surprise appearance for the first time in five years. He says he left ROH to travel the world, and he has no regrets about becoming an independent wrestler. Jay Lethal says he's not worthy of a title shot after being gone for so long, but Colt says he can't live with himself if he didn't challenge him for the title, as it is the one big thing missing from his career. The next day, Jay Lethal considered Cheeseburger a more worthy contender, but as they wrestle, Colt Cabana demands a shot at the ROH World Championship. Lethal and Cabana brawl, and then have a match. Colt Cabana gets a surprise win against Lethal with a roll-up. They now face each other for the title at Global Wars.

Jay Lethal and Truth Martini go to the massage parlor...only to run into a strangely happy Delirious. We then see the superstars of Ring of Honor tour Japan.

The Briscoes (Jay and Mark Briscoe) beat Bullet Club (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson).

We look back at ROH's time in Japan.
