Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for June 15, 2023

In backstage footage from earlier today, Dasha Gonzalez interviews Matt Sydal. Sydal says he took things into his own hands because this is how he does things. He says he has been on Joe's heels for years and that he is the only one to grab the microphone, call him out and proclaim himself the next ROH World Television Champion. Gonzalez then interviews Samoa Joe. Joe says an example needs to be made and that a lesson about ambition outstripping common sense needs to be learned. He says the path to becoming Television Champion does not go through him and that Sydal will learn that lesson.

Samoa Joe retains the ROH World Television Championship against Matt Sydal.
