Dalton Castle & The Boys win ROH Six-Man Tag titles at Death Before Dishonor

Dalton Castle and The Boys are the new ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champions.

Castle and The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate) defeated The Righteous (Vincent, Dutch, and Bateman) to win the titles for the first time. The finish had Vincent hitting a tope on Castle, but Castle hit a rebound hurricanrana on Vincent, a German suplex on Dutch, then pinned Bateman with the bangarang to win the titles.

Vincent, Dutch, and Bateman won the titles back at Final Battle on December 11 of last year, defeating Shane Taylor Promotions (Taylor, Moses, and Kaun). They had held the titles for 224 days. The titles had not been defended since, as they were not featured at ROH Supercard of Honor or on AEW shows after Tony Khan purchased the company.

Vincent has worked dates with Impact Wrestling since the previous version of Ring of Honor shut down following Final Battle. Bateman has worked dates with New Japan Strong, forming the Stray Dog Army faction with Barrett Brown and Misterioso.

Stipulation added to FTR vs. The Briscoes at ROH Death Before Dishonor

FTR and The Briscoes’ ROH Tag Team title rematch will be conducted under two-out-of-three falls rules.

During an open forum between the two teams on Friday, it was announced that FTR vs. The Briscoes at Death Before Dishonor will be a two-out-of-three falls match. Death Before Dishonor is taking place at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts on Saturday, July 23.

FTR proposed the two-out-of-three falls stipulation after The Briscoes claimed that FTR were the fresher team in their first meeting. The Briscoes said they were wrestling multiple times per week while FTR only had to occasionally wrestle on AEW Dynamite. The Briscoes called FTR’s a win a fluke and said Supercard of Honor was the luckiest night of FTR’s lives.

In a match-of-the-year candidate, FTR defeated The Briscoes at Supercard of Honor this April to win the ROH Tag Team titles.

Here’s the updated card for the Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view:

  • Two-out-of-three falls match: ROH Tag Team Champions FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) defend against The Briscoes (Jay & Mark Briscoe)
  • ROH Women’s World Champion Mercedes Martinez defends against Serena Deeb
  • ROH Television Champion Samoa Joe defends against Jay Lethal
  • ROH Pure Champion Wheeler Yuta defends against Daniel Garcia

A Women’s World Championship match has been confirmed for Ring of Honor’s Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view.

Martinez visually tapped out while Deeb had the Serenity Lock applied.

Deeb vs. Anna Jay will take place on Dynamite this Wednesday.
