Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for July 25, 2024

In footage from this week's Dynamite, Mark Briscoe says that this is just another day at the office when Mike Bennett shows up and tells Mark Briscoe to chill out, as there are more important things than being ROH World Champion and that he cannot feed his family if he cannot move. This allows Matt Taven to attack Mark Briscoe from behind, and Roderick Strong, who also shows up, tells Mark Briscoe that he may be World Champoin for now, but he will never be "Mr. ROH."

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett). Bennett says that he has reached out to Tony Khan and has not received an answer, and assumes that they are getting the day off. Matt Taven says they have been at every show for the last nine months, and also hopes for the day off for when Roderick Strong becomes ROH World Champion before Paul Wight suddenly shows up. Wight announces that he is now appointed to the ROH Board of Directors and that he and Tony have seen their shenanigans, and that they will be defending the ROH World Tag Team Championships against Tomohiro Ishii and Kyle O'Reilly. Taven and Bennett suddenly find themselves in a dilemma, with Tomohiro Ishii "having no neck" and Kyle O'Reilly being their friend.

The Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta) beat Shane Taylor Promotions ("Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty and Anthony Ogogo). After the match, the referee has to get between both teams so that Wheeler Yuta and Lee Moriarty do not get physical, but that does not stop Shante Taylor from nearly knocking Yuta out.

Lexy Nair interviews Queen Aminata and Red Velvet in the ring. Lexy Nair goes full heel mode when and refuses to let Red Velvet and Queen Aminata answer any questions regarding their actions towards Athena and Billie Starkz, then Aminata grabs the microphone and says "The bitch got what she deserves." Athena shows up and is carried to the ring by a member of security, then tells Lexy that she tried her best. She then says Aminata and Red Velvet are "too uncultured" for an interview segment, and says that ever since she has beaten the tar out of them, they have been tyrants and bullies jumping Billie Starkz from behind and hurting her more than she already was. She says that Queen Aminata is not ready for the opportunity that she usurped, then calls her and Red Velvet "raggedy-ass lot lizards." All of a sudden, a masked Billie Starkz with blue hair and gear matching Athena's attacks Red Velvet and Aminata from behind, then Lexy Nair removes Athena's boot. Athen and Red Velvet start fighting back, then Aminata grabs Lexy Nair by the hair before Athena strikes Aminata with her boot and doing the same to Red Velvet. Athena then says that tomorrow night will be all-out war and that she cannot wait to snatch Aminata and Red Velvet bald.

Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) beats Spanish Announce Project (Angelico and Serpentico).

"The Judge" EJ Nduka beats Jon Cruz.

We hear from MxM Collection (Mason Madden and Mansoor), who announce that they will debut tomorrow night at Death Before Dishonor.

Johnny TV and Shane Taylor beat Lio Rush and Atlantis Jr.

Abadon beats Dulce Tormenta.

Before the next match, Jacked Jameson says that they are at the home of some of the greatest athletes in the world, and that by athletes, he means "low-T losers playing video games." He says that their opponents tonight are a couple of "anorexic athletes" that The Iron Savages (Boulder, Bronson, Jacked Jameson) will tear in half with the help of two muscular men like Nick Comoroto and Anthony Henry.

Komander, Action Andretti, Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) and Fuego del Sol beat The Iron Savages (Boulder, Bronson, Jacked Jamerson), Anthony Henry and Nick Comoroto in a ten-man tag match.

Backstage, we hear from Queen Aminata and Red Velvet. Aminata says that her five fingers will slap Athena's ashy face, and Red Velvet says she is done with Billie Starkz's cowardly games and that Billie is walking into her own funeral. Red Velvet also tells Athena and Billie to stop with the matching outfit, as it is not working for them.

The Von Erichs (Marshall and Ross Von Erich) beat The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds and John Silver) after Marshall locks the Iron Claw on Evil Uno briefly and Alex Reynolds briefly focuses on Kevin Von Erich. After the match, Reynolds and Evil Uno attack the Von Erichs along with Silver, and as Kevin Von Erich is about to get in the ring, "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes shows up and cleans house. Dustin and the Von Erichs surround Alex Reynolds, and Kevin sneaks up behind Alex Reynolds and puts the Iron Claw on him.
