Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for December 23, 2017

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes says that his holiday excitement has been turned into a smoldering lull because his tag team partners tonight are picked at random, and he is not happy about it. He gets his first random pick out of the nearby gifts, and he is not happy with it. Dalton Castle shows up, wanting to know who it is, but Cody tells him it is none of his business and leaves after telling Castle to make his pick. Castle looks inside a nearby gift bag for his first pick.

Before the next match, Rhett Titus shows up dressed up as Santa, while Will Ferrara is dressed up as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, much to Ferrara's chagrin.

The Dawgs (Rhett Titus and Will Ferrara) beat Flip Gordon and the debuting Simon Grimm after Will Ferrara knocks Grimm out with a shot to the head with the Christmas present that Rhett Titus brought with him to the ring. (Simon Grimm is formerly known as Simon Gotch from WWE.)

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes likes his second random tag team partner. His third pick, however, leads to Cody asking "Does this guy even work here?"

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes looks at his final pick, mentioning that the last time he picked a partner, he got Cheeseburger and that he will not let that happen again. He laments that he did not even get any of his friends for tag team partners, then says "Christmas sucks...remember that." As for Dalton Castle, he opens a gift, looks inside and says taht the pick he got certainly makes things interesting before laughing.

We look back at Women of Honor's success in 2017.

"The American Nightmare' Cody Rhodes shows up with a present. He offer to give the present to the loudest fan in the crowd tonight, then after looking into the crowd, he says he has made his choice. He stomps on the present, then says he hates Christmas. He also complains that he did not get to pick his partners, and tells Bobby Cruise to go ahead and announce his teammates.

Team Dalton (Dalton Castle, "The Last Real Man" Silas Young, Hanson, Jonathan Gresham, "The Villain" Marty Scurll) beats Team Cody ("The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, Scorpio Sky, Josh "The Goods" Woods, Chris Sabin, Punishment Martinez) in a Christmas Surprise 10-man Tag Team Match.
