Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for June 29, 2023

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Tony Khan and Stokely Hathaway. He says that this week's episode is a very special episode and that some of the stars from Forbidden Door are still in town for a memorable ROH show tonight. He also mentinos that the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships are on the line, and that he will be backstage at the producer's chair all night. Stokely Hathaway says he will take care of everything backstage.

La Faccion Ingobernable (Preston Vance and Dralistico) beat Vikram Prashar and Mark Wheeler.

The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) beat The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds and John Silver) after Stu Grayson hits Alex Reynolds with a running pump knee behind the referee's back. After the match, Evil Uno shows up with a chair, but when he is about to hit Vincent, Stu Grayson gets in the way and dares Uno to hit him. Evil Uno cannot do it, and Stu kicks it out of his hand before leaving.

Diamante beats Leila Grey (and also gets a piece of "Smart" Mark Sterling).

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Claudio Castagnoli. Claudio is wondering himself what he should do next and that it seems like nobody wants to step up, then Chuck Taylor shows up and says that he has fought and beaten him before and that if he is looking for challengers, he is right here. Claudio feels insulted after Chuck leaves, saying he should be calling him "sir" and that if he wants a shot at his title, he has no problem with it. He also announces that he is doing away with the time limit for the match and that if Chuck Taylor wants his title, he will have to beat him.

The Lucha Bros. (Penta el Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix), El Hijo del Vikingo and Komander beat Gringo Loco, The Workhorsemen (JD Drake and Anthony Henry) and Shane Taylor in an eight-man tag match.

We hear from Samoa Joe, who says that this week, he takes on Roderick Strong in the men's Owen Hart Tournament. He says that while Roderick Strong is talented, he always comes up short against him, and this week will be no different. Suddenly, as Samoa Joe praises Tony Khan, Stokely Hathaway shows up and demands the same gratitude he is giving Tony Khan. Samoa Joe says he can get behind that, then tells him that while Stokely Hathaway runs things, he runs Stokely, much to Stokely's horror.

The Firm (Big Bill and Lee Moriarty) beat Karou and Tariq.

The Embassy ("The Machine" Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun, Toa Lion) retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships against Los Ingobernables (Hiromu Takahashi, BUSHI, Shingo Takagi).

We hear from United Empire (Kyle Fletcher, Jeff Cobb, TJP). Fletcher states that he has brough Jeff Cobb and TJP with him tonight because he is all about opening the Forbidden Door. TJP tells that they hold the crown and nobody can hold them, and Jeff Cobb says that no matter who among them is there or where they are, the United Empire runs the world.

El Desperado beats Willie Mack.

Roppongi Vice (Rocky "Azucar" Romero and Trent Beretta) beat The House of Torture (Sho and Yujiro Takahashi). After the match, The House of Torture go on the attack on Romero and Barretta, but retreat when Orange Cassidy shows up.

Darius Martin, Action Andretti and "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels beat United Empire (Kyle Fletcher, Jeff Cobb, TJP) in a six-man tag match.

Backage, Jerry Lynn peaks with The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Mike Bennett, Maria Kanellis-Bennett) regarding their words from last week. Taven says he loved watching Jerry Lynn back in ECW and that Stokely Hathaway is jealous of Jerry being "history of Ring of Honor." Mike Bennett also brings up retiring Jerry Lynn in the latter's last match in Ring of Honor, and Jerry Lynn brings up Maria Kanellis-Bennett getting involved in that match. Jerry says he will go over Stokely's head and give them a tag match, but it ends up being a six-man tag match against The Infantry ("The Captain" Shawn Dean and "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo) in which Maria also has to wrestle. Both Taven and Maria blame Mike for getting them into this.

Athena beats KC Spinelli in an ROH Women's World Championship Proving Ground Match, then attacks Spinelli after the match.

Claudio Castagnoli beats Chuck Taylor in an ROH World Championship Proving Ground Match.
