The Briscoes defeat FTR for ROH Tag Team titles at Final Battle

The Briscoes are once again the ROH World Tag Team Champions.

Mark and Jay Briscoe defeated FTR in a double dog collar match at Saturday’s Final Battle event to win the championships for the thirteenth time. In a match so bloody that even one of the referees bled, Jay Briscoe got the submission victory over Dax Harwood after Harwood passed out from a crossface, with Jay using the chain for leverage as Mark prevented Cash Wheeler from entering the ring.

This was the third match between FTR and the Briscoes this year. At Supercard of Honor back in April, FTR defeated the Brisoces to win the titles for the first time. In July, the two teams met again in a 2 out of 3 falls match, with FTR retaining. With their loss tonight, FTR’s run with the titles ends at 253 days.

The third match in the trilogy was made after Austin and Colten Gunn announced at the end of Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite that The Briscoes had issued a double dog collar challenge to FTR for Final Battle. After the match Saturday, The Gunns ran in through the crowd and attacked FTR. The two cut a promo saying FTR’s legacy was dying, and they would be the ones to end it.

AEW’s FTR win ROH World Tag Team titles at Supercard of Honor

FTR are the new ROH World Tag Team Champions.

In what became a bloody, brutal match, FTR defeated The Briscoes to win their first ROH World Tag Team Championship. The finish came when the Briscoes went for the Doomsday Device, but Dax Harwood fought out of it and dumped Jay Briscoe to the floor, allowing FTR to hit the Big Rig on Mark for the win.

After the match, the two teams shook hands and FTR left the ring, allowing The Briscoes to get an ovation from the audience. However, The Young Bucks suddenly showed up and attacked The Briscoes from behind. FTR came back and made the save and challenged The Bucks to a match right there and now. Matt Jackson agreed to the match, but said it would be this Wednesday.

The Bucks and FTR have been feuding on AEW television as of late. On this Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite, Harwood had issued the challenge to The Bucks, saying that he and Cash Wheeler wanted to prove who was the best tag team. The two have met before, with The Young Bucks defeating FTR at AEW’s Full Gear event back in 2020.

New ROH Tag Team Champions crowned at Best in the World

Chris Dickinson and Homicide captured the ROH World Tag Team titles on tonight’s Best in the World pay-per-view event.

Dickinson and Homicide defeated Jonathan Gresham and Rhett Titus in a Fight Without Honor match, with many weapons being used throughout the match. Homicide picked up the win for his team after pinning Gresham, who had already wrestled once on the show, following the cop killer vertebreaker.

The match was originally supposed to be Tracy Williams and Titus defending the titles. However, the storyline was that Williams was unable to be cleared by the Maryland State Athletic Commission. Jay Lethal was named as Williams’ replacement, but was taken out of the match by the state athletic commission after taking two Ganso bombs from Brody King earlier in the night.

The ROH TV title also changed hands on tonight’s show, with Dragon Lee defeating Tony Deppen to regain the title. Jonathan Gresham successfully defended the Pure title earlier in the show against Mike Bennett.

Two championships change hands at ROH 19th Anniversary

Two championships changed hands during tonight’s ROH 19th Anniversary show.

Tracy Williams walked out of tonight’s show a double champion. He defeated Kenny King to win the Television championship for the first time. King was defending the title for Dragon Lee, who was unable to compete following minor surgery for a broken eardrum. This ends Lee’s run after over 470 days with the title, winning it at Final Battle 2019.

The ROH World Tag Team titles also changed hands, with Williams and Rhett Titus defeating Bestia del Ring and Kenny King. Bestia replaced Dragon Lee, who was also one half of the Tag Team champions. Titus submitted Bestia with a full nelson to win the match and the titles.

After the match, Bestia and King confronted manager Amy Rose, blaming her for the loss after the referee took away a steel chair she tried to introduce into the match. She gave the middle finger to King and started to leave, but King grabbed her and told her that she was done, allowing Bestia to spear her.
