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

Posted on by Joseph Currier

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

Women’s World title match official for ROH Death Before Dishonor

Posted on by Joseph Currier

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

During this week’s AEW Control Center, it was announced that Mercedes Martinez will defend the ROH Women’s World Championship against Serena Deeb at Death Before Dishonor on Saturday, July 23. The PPV is being held at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts.

Martinez became the interim ROH Women’s World Champion at Supercard of Honor this April. She was then crowned as the undisputed champion by defeating Deonna Purrazzo on Dynamite in May.

Martinez & Deeb teamed together to defeat Kayla Sparks & Christina Marie on Rampage last Friday. But Deeb turned against Martinez after the match and set her sights on the ROH Women’s World Championship. Deeb put Martinez in the Serenity Lock before then picking up the ROH Women’s World title belt.

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

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

Death Before Dishonor will be the second ROH event since Tony Khan bought the promotion. Here’s the updated card for the PPV:

  • ROH Tag Team Champions FTR defend against The Briscoes
  • 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

Jay Lethal challenges Samoa Joe for ROH Death Before Dishonor

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Jay Lethal formally challenged Samoa Joe to an ROH Television Championship match at next month’s Death Before Dishonor.

On tonight’s Rampage, Lethal cut a promo saying he demanded that Samoa Joe sign a contract for a title match at Death Before Dishonor, noting that he has not been on AEW television in recent weeks. The promo ended with Satnam Singh telling Joe “Jay’s gonna kill you.”

Lethal and Joe have been feuding ever since the finale of Supercard of Honor in April, where Joe made his return to ROH by aiding Jonathan Gresham from an attack by Lethal and Sonjay Dutt. In the weeks since Supercard of Honor, Lethal and Dutt have introduced former basketball player Satnam Singh to their group.

At the Forbidden Door post-show scrum on Sunday, Tony Khan confirmed that Death Before Dishonor would take place on July 23 in Lowell, Massachusetts. It would be the second ROH show held since Khan bought the promotion in March.

Report: ROH Death Before Dishonor PPV planned for next month

Posted on by Ian Carey

ROH is expected to return to pay-per-view in July. 

According to a report from Fightful Select, AEW talent have been told that ROH Death Before Dishonor is being planned for the weekend of July 23, 2022. The event is expected to take place in Lowell, Massachusetts.

The first Death Before Dishonor occurred on July 19, 2003 and featured Samoa Joe defending the ROH World Championship against Paul London in the main event. Aside from in 2020, the event has run every year since. 

In April, ROH owner Tony Khan spoke to ESPN regarding the future of the promotion. 

“I’ve been having more conversations with WarnerMedia about what we can do together to grow Ring of Honor,” Khan said. “I think it would make sense for Ring of Honor to continue as a weekly series and major events, like we just had with Supercard.”

The company also filed to trademark two potential new logos last month.
