ROH crowns TV title eliminator tournament winner

Posted on by Ethan Renner

There is a new number one contender to Samoa Joe’s Ring of Honor World Television Championship. 

Shane Taylor defeated Gravity in the finals of the TV title eliminator tournament on Thursday’s Ring of Honor TV episode to earn the next shot at Samoa Joe’s TV title. 

Taylor defeated Serpentico, Christopher Daniels, and Gravity en route to winning the TV title eliminator tournament, and now awaits a match against Joe. No date has been set for Joe’s next TV title defense.

Among his career accolades, Taylor is a former ROH TV Champion, holding the title for seven months in 2019. Taylor is also a former ROH Six-Man Tag Team title holder.

Samoa Joe’s current TV title reign stretches back to April 2022 when he defeated Minoru Suzuki to win the belt, and is the second-longest reign in the history of the title.

Joe will be in tag team action with Stokely Hathaway against The Boys on next week’s Ring of Honor TV, and has challenged CM Punk to match at the Sunday, August 27 AEW All In pay-per-view at Wembley Stadium in London.

Mark Briscoe is set to face Samoa Joe for the ROH World Television Championship. 

On this week’s Ring of Honor TV, Briscoe issued a future title challenge to ROH TV Champion Samoa Joe, which Joe accepted. 

Following a successful defense against Tony Deppen on this week’s show, Joe took the mic and declared an open challenge for his Championship, noting that he runs Ring of Honor. Briscoe then answered the challenge by issuing his own challenge to Joe, which Joe accepted. 

No date was announced for the future title match, but the Supercard of Honor pay-per-view on March 31 appears to be a likely destination. 

In addition to Joe defeating Deppen, two other title matches took place on this week’s ROH TV.

Wheeler Yuta successfully defended the ROH Pure Championship, defeating Timothy Thatcher. Yuta is also set to defend the Pure title on next week’s episode, taking on Clark Connors. 

In Thursday’s main event, Athena retained the ROH Women’s World title, defeating Willow Nightingale in the main event.
