Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for March 14, 2024

Billie Starkz beats Diamante by submission with a half-nelson crossface to advance to the semi-finals of the ROH Women's World Television Championship Tournament.

"Big Shotty" Lee Johnson beats Aaron Solo.

Kiera Hogan beats Robyn Renegade, Lady Frost and "Legit" Leyla Hirsch in a Four Corners Survival Match.

We hear from Griff Garrison and Cole Karter backstage. Karter says that this is the biggest match of their careers, and that Maria Kanellis-Bennett has stepped this up for them and they will make her proud. Garrison says Maria has their back, and that they will do their best. Maria shows up and talks about how everybody thought they owned her career whe she was younger, then tells Karter and Garrison that they both own their career. She also says that Garrison had a good match with Adam Copeland on AEW Collision until Garrison loss, and that they have not seen the inside of a Collision ring since. Maria says that actions have consequences, and that chances like that do not come along every day. She says that Best Friends (Orange Cassidy and Trent Beretta) are jealous of what Karter and Garrison can accomplish, as they are on the path to greatness. Maria calls Serpentico's mask the start of that and says she wants to be part of that, and wants to be sure that Karter and Garrison will not disappoint her.



Athena beats Aisha by submission in a ROH Women's World Championship Proving Grounds Match, then attacks her after the match. She then shows her disappointment at what the local talent has to offer, saying Atlanta, Georgia is not even good enough to wipe her ass before declaring herself the forever champion and the main event of Ring of Honor. Athena says she comes into the ring and puts her heart and soul into defending her championship and giving locals the opportunities only to get nothing in return, then says she is bored and needs more than "these porcelain princesses," because she put ROH on the map and on her back while taking it to new levels. She says that Supercard of Honor is weeks away, but nobody is lining up to face her and the whole locker room is so afraid to face her that they lined up for "a second place tournament." Athena says that even "The Native Beast" Nyla Rosa could have stepped back up after she put her through a table, but she stepped out, tucked tail and ran. She proclaims that she is dying for competition to solidify the greatest championship reign in professional wrestling, and welcomes anyone to jump in so that someone can take her to her limit and give her real competition before asking who it will be to do just that. Suddenly, Hikaru Shida shows up and points her shinai at Athena before the two of them have a staredown.

Before the next match, Action Andretti grabs the microphone from Jacked Jameson and says that he and Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) can appreciate a little bit of time "Titty City" before challenging Bronson to a chug-off. Bronson seems to have a bit of an advantage with only have a bottle, but Andretti goes through a whole water bottle in one fell swoop.

Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) and Action Andretti beat The Iron Savages (Boulder, Bronson, Jacked Jameson) in a six-man tag match.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson. Johnson says that he is not just here to take part, but to take over, and while 2024 has been looking good for him, he does not plan to slow down anytime soon.



The Workhorsemen (JD Drake and Anthony Henry) beat Nick Comoroto and Jacoby Watts. After the match, Jacoby Watts tells Nick Comoroto that he can lead him through the darkness and calls him his brother, and Comoroto heads to the back with him.

"The Murderhawk Monster" Lance Archer beats Darian Bengston.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Taya Valkyrie. Taya says being a "Boy mom" in Slamtown is incredible and is thinking of giving The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate). Dalton Castle shows up out of nowhere and wants to know where The Boys are, and Taya refuses to tell him where they are. As Taya claims to know everything about The Boys, she says that Dalton Castle is not fit to have Boys. When Dalton confronts her for this, Taya calls for security to carry him away, then says that The Boys are on a mountain with Johnny TV becoming "TV ready."



Mercedes Martinez beats Abadon to advance to the semi-finals of the ROH Women's World Television Championship Tournament after a cheap shot from out of nowhere by Diamante.

Komander beats Slim J, Jack Cartwheel and AR Fox in a Four Corners Surivival Match.

We hear from Eddie Kingston. Eddie says Supercard of Honor is coming up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and says that somebody was supposed to get a title shot against Claudio Castagnoli a year ago and got injured, and that somebody was Mark Briscoe. Eddie looks back at Mark's ROH beginnings, then asks why he shouldn't give him a title shot and tells him to bring his family, not because he will beat him up, but because they will show what the art of professional wrestling in. He says they will not play with each other or dance, but fight, and fight for the ROH World Championship in the city where it all started because he respects Mark Briscoe and because Mark has earned this shot for years and has deserved it, and he wants to be the man to give Mark that shot.



Best Friends (Orange Cassidy and Trent Beretta) beat Griff Garrison and Cole Karter. After the match, Spanish Announce Project (Angelico and Serpentico) show up from behind Garrison and Karter and brawl. Serpentico gets his match back, and when Garrison attacks Serpentico, Maria Kanellis-Bennett hits Serpentico with a low blow and takes the mask back even as Best Friends (Orange, Trent, Chuck Taylor) get back into the ring to make the save. All five men then have a group hug to end the show.

Here is the recap for tonight's show!
