Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for August 29, 2024

Athena beats Aleah James in a ROH Women's World Championship Proving Grounds Match with a crossface. After the match, Athena is about to slam Aleah James' face onto the front plate of the Women's World Championship when Abadon shows up and stares down Athena. Athena slaps Abadon, but it has no effect, and Abadon chases Athena out of the ring. Billie Starkz smacks Abadon with the ROH Women's World Championship and knocks them out, and when Athena notices that Abadon is down, she thinks that Lexy Nair did it. As Athena, Lexy and Billie leave, Abadon gets up, furious.

Johnny TV beats Sidney Akeem. (Sidney Akeem is best time for his time in WWE as Reginald, Reggie and Scrypts.)

Lance Archer beats Auzzy, then choke slams him after the match.

Backstage, we hear from Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor and "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty). Shane Taylor says he likes Angelico's confidence in challenging Moriarty for the ROH Pure Championship, but all the training and "flow state" in the world will not be enough to make him a champion. Moriarty says that if Angelico wants to challenge him for this title, he accepts, but reminds him to check his neck.

Mina Shirakawa beats Rachael Ellering by submission. After the match, both women shake hands in a post-match sign of respect, then Taya Valkyrie shows up and attacks them both.

Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) and Action Andretti beat Ace of Space Academy (LSG, GKM, Colton Charles) in a six-man tag team match.

EJ Nduka beats Demo Diamond.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Rachael Ellering. Ellering says losing stings and that she has to work order. Harley Cameron shows up and re-introduces herself before telling her "Don't give up on your dreams, kid."

Before the next match, Jacoby Watts introduces himself to Evil Uno, wanting The Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds, John Silver) to join his flock. Evil Uno says he is a "one cult man" and forearms Watts in the face.

Evil Uno beats Jacoby Watts.

Before the next match, "Smart" Mark Sterling says that The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari, Josh Woods) will take on anyone anywhere at any time before listing off Josh Woods' wrestling accomplishments and proclaiming that Woods will win tonight.

Josh Woods beats Barrett Brown.

Leila Grey beats Promise Braxton.

"All Heart" Blake Christian beats Rosario Grillo.

Before the next match, "Smart" Mark Sterling says that The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari, Josh Woods) vs. The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O'Reilly, Tomohiro Ishii) is the best feud of the year as well as in the history of professional wrestling. He says The Premier Athletes are undefeated and that Ariya beat one of The Conglomeration's members last week, and that the results will be the same when Daivari shows his class against the member of The Conglomeration with the least class.

Tomohiro Ishii beats Ariya Daivari after hitting "Smart" Mark Sterling at the ring apron and then knocking him off by sending Daivari into him.

"Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty retains the ROH Pure Championship against Angelico with a bridge pin.
