AEW announces Ring of Honor World title match for tonight

Posted on by Josh Nason

Ring of Honor World Champion Eddie Kingston will put his title on the line against Dalton Castle from Portland, Oregon, tonight.

However, it wasn’t specified whether the match will air live on AEW Dynamite or if it will be taped afterward as neither the graphic above, nor the announcement tweet, mentioned Dynamite. Both Rampage and Collision are live on Friday so it’s possible it will be taped for an ROH episode after the live Dynamite.

Kingston is celebrating his 50th day as ROH Champion and will be looking for the fourth defense of his title. He is also scheduled to defend against Angelico on Thursday’s ROH on HonorClub.

Castle is a former ROH World Champion, holding the gold from December 2017 through June 2018. He was last seen with The Boys, unsuccessfully wresting the AEW Trios titles from The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn on last Saturday’s Collision.

This will also be a first time ever matchup.

Here’s the current lineup for AEW Dynamite:

  • AEW World Champion MJF defends against Daniel Garcia
  • ROH TV Champion Samoa Joe defends against Keith Lee
  • Sting & Darby Allin vs. The Outrunners
  • Jay White vs. Mark Briscoe
  • Tony Schiavone sits down with Hikaru Shida and Timeless Toni Storm
  • Swerve Strickland vs. Penta El Zero Miedo
  • Red Velvet vs. Julia Hart
  • Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega promo

Also announced for tonight:

  • ROH World Champion Eddie Kingston defends against Dalton Castle

Bandido wins ROH World Championship at Best in the World

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Bandido defeated Rush to win the ROH World Championship at tonight’s Best in the World pay-per-view event.

The finish of the match had Rush kicking out of the 23-plex and going after Bandido, ripping off the top of his mask. Rush and the referee, Todd Sinclair, started to argue. Bandido took advantage of Rush being distracted and rolled him up to win the championship for the first time. This ends Rush’s second reign with the title which lasted nearly 500 days, dating back to Gateway of Honor back in February of 2020 when he defeated PCO.

After the match, Rush and the rest of La Faccion Ingobernable (Bestia del Ring, Dragon Lee, Kenny King) came out and attacked Bandido. Rush laid him out with the title and dropped it on Bandido’s chest. The show closed with Rush placing his foot on top of Bandido and the title.

Other title changes on the show had Chris Dickinson and Homicide defeating Jonathan Gresham (subbing for Tracy Williams) and Rhett Titus to win the ROH World Tag Team titles and Dragon Lee defeating Tony Deppen to regain the ROH TV title.
