It was another unsuccessful week in AEW for the ROH roster as on Collision, The Rascalz defeated Aaron Solo, Griff Garrison & Nick Comoroto + Jay White defeated Adam Priest & The Conglomeration defeated The Lethal Twist. AEW then hosted Dynamite in Norfolk, where Nick Wayne was beaten by Jericho. Around the world was another story as Bandido & Komander defeated Soberano Jr. & Titan in CMLL & Grizzled Young Vets picked up a win over Danny Black & Joe Lando in RevPro.
Ring of Honor
ROH on HonorClub #184
September 17, 2026
WJCT Studios + Akins Ford Arena
Jacksonville, Florida + Athens, GA
Tony Schiavone and Paul Wight were on commentary (for now)
ROH Women’s World Television Title Match
Red Velvet def. Remi Reade
Schiavone announced that this match was in conjunction with 1FW, and the ring apron, mat & turnbuckles all had the 1FW logo on them. 1FW, or 1 Fall Wrestling, is QT Marshall’s Georgia based promotion and Reade is an 18-year-old student of Marshall and a 1FW regular. Reade has the size, and from only seeing her once, the athleticism to succeed in ROH if that is where she lands. And I have to say that it was odd to see Red Velvet as the veteran hand guiding someone through a match, but she was. It really is crazy how time flies. Velvet scored the pin after a spinning back kick, and I am positive this will not be the last time we hear the name Remi Reade, unless she goes to NXT and they change her name to something preposterous. Fine
Nick Wayne def. Adam Priest
This match was also taped in Athens inside the “1FW ring.” Priest came out first and was introduced as “The Dirty White Boy,” Adam Priest. I’m glad Tony Anthony didn’t sell that nickname to WWF when he became TL Hopper. They own enough. Wayne, who we have seen a lot of recently in ROH & AEW, has been progressing nicely since his return from injury. He started the match avoiding contact and antagonizing The Dirty White Boy, as he is really starting to come into his own as a heel without a faction. Wayne focused his offense on Priest’s left arm as Priest focused his on Wayne’s left leg, softening him up for the half crab, which he locked on, but Wayne got to the ropes. Wayne ended up winning the match after a “Prodigy Plex.” These are two wrestlers that ROH is and absolutely should be focusing on. I wish the crowd was more into it, but who could blame them. I’m sure they had no idea the match was happening ahead of time because hardly anything in ROH is announced in advance and what percentage of the audience do you think actually pays for HonorClub? Well, I do, and I enjoyed it. And I enjoyed that Wayne continued to sell his left leg after the match. Enjoyable
Ian Riccaboni & Caprice Coleman were on commentary as the rest of the show was taped in the WJCT Studios in Jacksonville.
Deonna Purrazzo & Emi Sakura def. The Hex (Allysin Kay & Marti Belle)
Another week and another step forward for the burgeoning ROH women’s tag team division as the Hex take on the brand-new team of Purrazzo & Sakura. The veteran, Sakura had a crowd connection with the studio audience which was nice to see after the first two matches in front of a subdued Georgia audience. Purrazzo & Sakura got the submission win when they both locked on “Fujiwara Armbars” to Kay & Belle in a match that won’t be winning any awards come January but wasn’t bad and I do appreciate the focus on the building of a new division. And right as I type that Sakura turned on Purrazzo after the match. I guess the focus has been lost and now we are going to get a pure rules match between these two. Not Bad
Aaron Solo, Griff Garrison & Nick Comoroto then cut a promo backstage and have apparently joined forces and have their collective eyes on ROH gold. Let’s let it play out.
Bryan Keith & The Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett) def. Scorpio Sky & Top Flight (Dante Martin & Darius Martin) (w/Christopher Daniels)
“The Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith was hired by The Kingdom because AI told them to and Ian was quick to remind those listening that AI was drying up our rivers, lakes & streams. That is why Ian is the best. I have to be honest; I do not like the Kingdom being on their phones during a match and clearly neither was Keith who yelled at them at one point. But putting my personal dislike of silliness in pro wrestling aside, these two teams worked very well together and this match was fast paced and never slowed down or lost the plot. The match ended when Keith hit Dante with a “Tiger Driver” for the win to earn his bounty. The use of cell phones during the match disqualifies it for MOTN contention, but this still was pretty good. Pretty Good
It was then time for The Dark Order to “Chop It Up” with Caprice Coleman. Caprice started by acknowledging the Dark Order’s tag team cohesiveness which I am in total agreement with. They are great at double and triple team moves and excel at seamless transitions. I still want them to disband forever, but I have to hand it to them in this regard. Caprice also brought up Preston Vance, but John Silver did not want to discuss #10.
Isla Dawn def. Robyn Renegade
I’m not exactly sure why Charlette Renegade has still not returned but it would be a shame if ROH does indeed introduce women’s tag titles and the Renegade Twins were not a part of its inception. Dawn was the aggressor in this match, which is a good position for her as she is not afraid to lay it in. Renegade was able to mount a nice little comeback, but it was cut off and she ended up tapping to a “Dragon Sleeper” by Dawn. I have to say that I have enjoyed Isla Dawn’s output here in ROH. She has been a good fit, and I would also like to see more of Renegade. Okay
Mina Shirakawa & Queen Aminata def. Dream Girl Ellie & Xanti Li
Shirakawa made her entrance as Dawn was heading to the back, as there is a feud on the rise between the two. We have seen Ellie multiple times in the past in ROH, but I believe this is Xanti’s Li’s first appearance. Li does not have a Cagematch profile yet, so she is most likely a literal rookie. One criticism I have is that she was trying a bit too hard. She was very loud and her selling was a bit goofy, but she certainly has potential and I’m sure she will work out those kinks. As far as the match itself is concerned I was rather surprised that it went almost ten minutes and to be honest, I’m not a fan of the Mina/Aminta team. Aminata would be better off either still on her own or with another partner, in my opinion. There were surprising kick outs and the breaking up of pins when this really should have been an extended squash. Mina made Li tap to the figure. Too Long
Shane Taylor Promotions (Lee Moriarty, Shane Taylor & Tehuti Miles) def. Aaron Solo, Griff Garrison & Nick Comoroto
This was the debut of this new six-man tag team and Garrison came to the ring sporting a cowboy hat, Solo was wearing a cape with a bandana over his face and Comoroto was wearing a vest. This was clearly some sort of Brodido & Hangman reference, but it just came across silly, so I’m already out on this experiment. STP on the other hand, I was glad to see dominate most of this match as I think there is potential for something at the top of the ROH card for this stable. At one point, right after Taylor put on Garrison’s hat and did a little line dancing, STP’s newest member, Miles had to be pulled off Griff for kicking too much ass. It looks like Miles is going to be the unhinged and overly aggressive member of this group. At the tail end of this match, they showed a replay of a Miles neckbreaker to Solo for some reason. I’m assuming something was botched and they had to do a little editing. Miles got the pin on Solo soon after with a superkick. Copasetic
Satnam Singh def. Matt Mako
First off, Singh has an 18-0 record in ROH, so maybe give this man a shot at a title already. This isn’t 1986 after all, unfortunately. Second, Mako looked better against Singh than anyone in recent memory. Singh though ended up getting the pin after a pop-up cutter around the three-and-a-half minute mark. I would really like to see a rematch where Mako gets in even more, and then again until he finally gets the win. Fun
Bandido & Komander def. AR Fox & Soleil
There was an “All These Guys” chant before the bell followed by all for men adhering to the code of honor. Both teams entered the match with a sense of comradery but that was out the window around the two-minute mark after a couple of misunderstandings and then business picked up and they were off to the races. Things did slow down for a bit during the Bandido vs Fox portion of the match but soon ramped back up as all four men “got their stuff in” and at a quick pace. That’s when we got a “Fight Forever” chant from the studio audience. These chants really need to go away already. I recently rewatched Samoa Joe vs Kenta Kobashi from 2005, and when I heard a “This Is Awesome” chant during that match from over 20 years ago, I almost wept. Not really, but enough is enough. This wasn’t the smoothest spot fest I have ever seen and Bandido wasn’t exactly treating this like a match in Arena Mexico, but it was still a fun watch and the match of the night. Bandido got the win with a “21 Plex” to Soleil. Match of the Night
Final Thoughts
Again, I much preferred the portion of the show in front of the studio audience as opposed to the AEW arena crowd. It is not as if the studio in Jacksonville is reminiscent of the Sportatorium in Dallas in 1983, but it is much better to watch a small crowd not make a lot of noise versus a large one. The show itself was fine, which is pretty much the benchmark for ROH’s weekly contribution to the ridiculously crowded landscape that is professional wrestling in 2026. Sometimes I feel that the only way one could truly get invested in this show and enjoy it would be to stop watching everything else because this show is simply white noise.
