Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for May 21, 2026

Before the next match, Action Andretti gives QT Marshall for not giving up on his dreams, then says he used to be like that until he got rid on Lio Rush. He then says that Lio Rush turned on him and got a reality check, then says that QT Marshall will also get a reality check. He says Marshall wrestles celebrities, works in the office to get more opportunities and plugs his training school just to get more attention, then says that he will embarrass Marshall like he embarrassed Lio.

Action Andretti beats QT Marshall.

Hyan and Maya World beat Allie Katch and Kaia McKenna.

We hear from Shane Taylor, who says that if there is any man outside of Shane Taylor Promotion that he is proud to see as a champion, it is AR Fox. He says that AR Fox is a second-to-none innovator and that this is the wrong place and wrong time for him, as it has been a hell of a week for him and he must take back the title that he made famous. Shane says that some things never die, but tonight, AR Fox does.

Rush beats Ryan O'Neill. After the match, Rush says that when you mess with the bull, you get the horns.

Before the next match, "Smart" Mark Sterling says that Supercard of Honor is one of the darkest hours in pro wrestling, as he was attacked at ringside and the fans cheered for it. He says that because of this, his bicep has been torn again, and that the fans are not invited to take part in their pre-match chair. He is then told by the fans that The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari, Stori Denail) suck anyway.

Busta and the Brain (Jordan Oliver and Alec Price) beat The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari).

Caprice Coleman chops it up with Eddie Kingston and Ortiz. Eddie Kingston says that he is here not only to take on the younger talent, but to pay it forward to Ring of Honor like Homicide would by seeing if the younger talent have the heart and fighting spirit of ROH's early days. Ortiz says that he and Eddie are simultaneously friends and business partners in ROH, and also talks about how he and Eddie have the same mentor in Homicide and want to change the wrestling culture in ROH. Eddie says that ROH's locker room is better than Dynamite's or Collision's and needs someone to lead them.

In backstage footage from Supercard of Honor, we hear from Dalton Castle and The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd). Truth Magnum says that game recognizes game and that Shane Taylor Promotion seemed real unfamiliar. Turbo Floyd says that they have finally won the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships, and Dalton Castle says he has the wanderlust and wants to fight the world.

Backstage, we hear from AR Fox. AR Fox says that Shane Taylor could have just asked him for a title shot, then says it took twenty years to win this and that he is not giving it up easily. He says that if Shane Taylor wants gold after their match, then he should go buy a watch.

"Blackheart" Lio Rush beats Aaron Solo.

In backstage footage from Supercard of Honor, "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo says that if you want respect, you have to give respect, and if refused, respect will be beaten into someone. She says that whoever steps up to her for her title either heed her message or become fluent in Purrazzo.

Queen Aminata and Mina Shirakawa beat Billie Starkz and Diamanté by disqualification after Athena shows up and drags Shirakawa out of the ring with a towel as Mina has Billie Starkz in a Figure Four Leg Lock. This leads to Athena giving Mina a beatdown on the outside before Queen Aminata makes the save, which then leads to a three-on-two beatdown on Mina and Aminata that ends with Athena ramming Mina's head into the front plate of the ROH Women's World Championship.

AR Fox retains the ROH World Television Championship against Shane Taylor.
