Supercard Showdown - Ring of Honor recap for May 14, 2026

"The Problem" Marina Shafir, Billie Starkz and Athena beat Maya World, Lacey Lane and Yuka Sakazaki in a six-woman tag match.

The Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia) beat Adam Priest and "Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington.

Satnam Singh beats James Tapia and CD Bennett in a two-on-one handicap match.

Josh "The Goods" Woods beats Angelico by submission in a Pure Rules Match. After the match, Serpentico has to save Angelico after Woods shifts into a Ki Lock, and when he does, Woods puts him in a sleeper hold while yelling "This is your future!" All of a sudden, Nigel McGuinness shows up and says they can do this tonight instead of waiting until Supercard of Honor if Woods wants to take liberties with other wrestlers. Woods says he will wait until the pay-per-view to beat Nigel in front of the world and leaves, and Nigel says he might take some liberties himself.

We hear from Red Velvet, who says that Supercard of Honor is all about proving she is the best Women's World Television Champion of all time. She says that she and Viva Van go way back and have both teamed with and wrestled against each other and knows how talented Viva Van is, and she respects that as well as Viva Van. She then says respect does not change reality and that she made her title important, and that she carries the women's division on her back with pride. Red Velvet says she is the R in Ring of Honor and the V in TV Champion, and Viva Van will be facing the backbone of the women's division, and when the dust clears, she will still be champion.

Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "The Captain" Shawn Dean, "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo) retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships against Eddie Kingston, Ortiz and Mance Warner after Christyan XO distracts both referee Stephon Smith and Mance Warner, allowing Shawn Dean and Carlie Bravo to double-team Mance Warner to win and retain.

"Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian beats Evil Uno by submission with the Vanilla Choke Zero after hitting Evil Uno with a 21-Plex to send a message to Bandido. After the match, Blake Christian hopes Bandido was paying attention, as he has proved week in and week out that he will take the ROH World Championship. He says that it will be like a changing of the seasons, implying that spring will come when he becomes the new champion.

We hear from "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty, who says that he has known Ace Austin for over ten years and has battled him throughout the East Coast, and that he will do it again in Maryland. He knows how amazing an athlete Ace Austin is and knows that Ace got one up on him, so he has earned this opportunity. He then tells Austin that he is in the ring with the best pure wrestler in the world and that he does not have an ace up his sleeve that can beat him.

In backstage footage from after All Elite Wrestling Dynamite, Ace Austin says that he is undefeated in Ring of Honor, and while he has lost more than he has won on Dynamite, he stood toe to toe with Will Opsreay and shook hands with him afterwards. He says failure happens only when you quit, but there is a lot to be learned from loss and has learned more from losses than any amount of wins, which is why he has yet to be beaten in Ring of Honor. Austin says his friendship with "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty does not matter and that their paths are different and that Moriarty has a firm grip on the ROH Pure Championship, but that does not last forever. He says that The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin) has beaten Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "The Captain" Shawn Dean, "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo, "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty) once and that it is only a matter of time before Moriarty loses that grip and he wins the Pure Championship.

"The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo beats Kaci Lennox in a Pure Rules Match by submission with the Fujiwara Arm Bar. After the match, Purrazzo is attacked from behind by Diamanté, who hits her with the ROH Women's Pure Championship before locking in a Fujiwara Arm Bar.

The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd) and Dalton Castle beat Charlie Malachite, Baby Keef and Xander Maddox in a six-man tag match.

Backstage, we hear from Athena, who finds it amusing that her opponents in tomorrow night's Survival of the Fittest match have knowledge on how to wrestle her after facing her only once. All of a sudden, Billie Starkz shows up angry at Athena for making things about her, but Athena says that Billie and the entire women's division should be thanking her, especially when she keeps Billie Starkz by her side after everything she goes through with her. She says that Billie and the rest of the women's division would not exist and that there would be no Ring of Honor. Billie reluctantly thanks Athena, who tells her to "follow the damn plan" or else she will have more than her to deal with.

"The Real Deal" Zayda Steel beats Hyan in an ROH Women's World Championship Survival of the Fittest qualifier. (Persephone is out with an injury, and this match determines who replaces her in tomorrow night's Survival of the Fittest Match.)

AR Fox beats "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne with an inside cradle to become the ROH World Television Champion! After the match, Lio Rush - now with a black liquid oozing from his mouth - appears on the video screen, saying the word "Tomorrow."

Before the next match, The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari, Stori Denali) are told that they suck.

The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari, Stori Denali) beat Jacey Love, Ricky Martinez and Ernest R. Alexander in a six-person tag match.

Bandido beats Action Andretti in an ROH World Championship Proving Ground Match. After the match, The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson) show up, and Blake Christian hands the mask he stole from Bandido back to him and making it clear that the ROH World Championship is the only trophy he wants now.
