ROH Supercard of Honor brings in more than 20,000 pay-per-view buys

Posted on by Josh Nason

Last Friday’s Ring of Honor Supercard of Honor pay-per-view brought in over 20,000 buys through both streaming and traditional PPV providers.

Dave Meltzer reported the news on the post-Raw Wrestling Observer Radio.

The number does not include HonorClub, ROH’s video on demand service that gives subscribers the ability to stream live events without paying additional money. The amount of subscribers, or any information on how many viewed last Friday’s event, are unknown.

Meltzer considered the number “phenomenal” considering last Friday’s competition as part of WrestleMania 38 weekend.

The main card started at 8 PM Eastern, head-to-head with WWE SmackDown. Its final hour also went up against AEW Rampage, owned by new ROH head Tony Khan.

Additionally, there was several streaming PPVs on Friday which included New Japan’s Lonestar Shootout (6 PM Eastern), Impact’s Multiverse of Matches (10 PM Eastern) and night one of GCW Joey Janela’s Spring Break 6 (1 AM Eastern).

The show was the first PPV under the Khan regime and the first since last December’s Final Battle. It featured a highly-anticipated bout between ROH Tag Team Champions The Briscoes vs. FTR in addition to a World title unification bout between Jonathan Gresham and Bandido. Several surprises were teased by Khan before the show which included the return of Samoa Joe and a Young Bucks run-in.

Khan said attendance for the show was over 2000.

Tony Khan says William Regal will be at ROH Supercard of Honor, teases show-ending surprise

Ring of Honor owner Tony Khan pulled out a play from his AEW playbook in hyping up tonight’s ROH Supercard of Honor on Friday: teasing a surprise.

During a Friday appearance on Busted Open Radio, Khan said that he feels tonight’s ROH show will be the best one they have done in “a really, really long time” and that it will be fun to take over the keys to a new business.

He then said that for those in attendance and watching at home, “Everyone will want to stay until the end of this one,” later saying he has “fun stuff” planned through the end of the show.

Khan also revealed that William Regal will be in attendance Friday and “keeping a close eye” on the ROH TV title match between champion Rhett Titus and challenger Wheeler Yuta.

Yuta, an AEW roster member, has been hinting at wanting to join Regal’s Blackpool Combat Club with Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson which has caused issues with his Best Friends teammates. Yuta lost to Danielson on last Wednesday’s Dynamite.

Tonight’s show is the first under the Khan regime.

Josh Woods vs. Wheeler Yuta Pure title match set for ROH Supercard of Honor

Posted on by Josh Nason

For the first time since last December, the Ring of Honor Pure Championship will be defended in an ROH ring as Josh Woods will defend the gold against Wheeler Yuta at next Friday’s Supercard of Honor pay-per-view.

This will be the first time ever they have wrestled against each other.

Woods won the title from Jonathan Gresham at last September’s Death Before Dishonor and has seven defenses of the gold with the last three coming on indie shows.

Before Tony Khan purchased ROH, the old leadership’s plan was to focus on the World, Women’s World and Tag Team titles after returning from their three-month shutdown, forgoing the Pure and Six-Man titles. At least with the Pure title, that appears to not be the case anymore.

Yuta is under an AEW deal but frequently works high-level indies as well as New Japan Strong. Woods has worked some AEW Dark tapings in Orlando, Florida, since the initial ROH shutdown.

Here’s the current lineup for next Friday from Garland, Texas:

  • Jonathan Gresham vs. Bandido in a winner takes all match to determine the ROH World Heavyweight Champion
  • The Briscoe Brothers vs. FTR for the ROH Tag Team titles
  • Josh Woods vs. Wheeler Yuta for the ROH Pure title
  • Sw3rve the Realest vs. Alex Zayne
  • Joe Hendry, Ninja Mack in matches TBA

Jay Lethal vs. Lee Moriarty announced for ROH Supercard of Honor

A new match featuring the return of Jay Lethal has been announced for ROH’s Supercard of Honor event.

Tony Khan announced tonight that Lethal will take on Lee Moriarity, with Matt Sydal in his corner.

“ROH Supercard of Honor. Next Friday April 1, Dallas Metroplex,” Khan wrote. “The Franchise of @ringofhonor returns as @TheLethalJay goes 1-on-1 vs @theleemoriarty, with his mentor + former ROH Tag Team Champion @MattSydal in his corner.”

Lethal left Ring of Honor when the company released all of their talent in October, signing with AEW the following month. He returned for ROH’s Final Battle event in December after the original main event of the show, Bandido vs. Jonathan Gresham, fell through after Bandido pulled out of the show due to testing positive for COVID-19. 

Here is the current lineup for Supercard of Honor, which takes place April 1, 2022 at the Curtis Cullwell Center in Dallas, Texas:

  • Jonathan Gresham vs. Bandido in a winner takes all match to determine the ROH World Heavyweight Champion
  • The Briscoe Brothers vs. FTR for the ROH World Tag Team titles
  • Sw3rve the Realest vs. Alex Zayne
  • Joe Hendry, Ninja Mack also announced for the show
