ROH Results (03/27/2025)

Reigning “forever” Ring of Honor Women’s World Champion Athena will team with Diamante as part of tonight’s ROH on HonorClub from Las Vegas, Nevada.

The show will also feature more CMLL stars in action as Atlantis Jr., Titan and Fuego take on Volador Jr., Rugido and Barbaro Cavernario in a trios bout while Dark Panther battles Okumura.

In the continuation of a feud dating back to February, ROH Tag Team Champions The Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara) will team with Willie Mack against MxM Collection (Mansoor & Madden) and Johnny TV. MxM recently stole the title belts and have been making them their own.

Premier Athletes (Arya Daivari & Tony Nese) will go heads-up against Dark Order’s Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds as both teams jockey for position for a future title shot.

Queen Aminata will look to rebound from her trilogy defeat to Julia Hart in AEW as she takes on Viva Van.

The number 109 is a perfect triangular super-prime number and the number of stops in the pipe organ in Paris’ famed Notre-Dame Cathedral. It’s also the episode number for tonight’s Ring of Honor on Honorclub action!

The show opened with ROH Women’s Champion Athena firing up her tag partner and seemingly new Minion, Diamante. Billie Starkz was there as well and Athena made it very clear that the MiT Program needed some new blood and that Starkz might not be around much longer.

Dark Panther defeated Okumura

I’m so excited for this match, I’m going to skip the usual jabbering and give you a few fun facts about the participants:

Dark Panther: “Approximately 36 or 35 years old in 2025,” 860+ career matches with a 53% win rate, lost a barn-burner of a match to ROH World Television Champion Komander last week.

Okomura: 52 years old, 2300+ career matches, 42% win rate. One-half of the current MLW Tag Team Champions.

Now let’s fight!

Panther tried to fire up the crowd off the top, but Okomura came charging out of the corner after the bell, laying him out with a clothesline. Okomura, a CMLL veteran wrestled a Japanese style, which kept the match speed low and Panther, confused.

Panther changed the course of the match with a big dropkick and tossed Okomura to the outside before following him with a springboard splash from the top rope. Panther knows a thing or two about hitting ahrd and he was able to match Okomura’s strength, blow for blow. It was only when the match slowed down that Panther seemed vulnerable.

Panther dropped his straps as “fight forever” chants broke out. After two suicide dives onto Okomura on the outside, Panther allowed the crowd to goad him into a third which drove Okomura into the barricade. Back in the ring, Okomura turned the tables with an attempted leg hold submission, but Panther was able to roll him onto his shoulders and pick up a quick victory!

Six Man Tag Team Match: The Sons Of Texas (Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara) & Willie Mack defeated Johnny TV & MxM Collection (Mansoor & Mason Madden)

One third of the Six Man Tag Team Champions, Dustin Rhodes engages in this six-man match with his two-man Tag Team Champion partner Guevara and I assume the first guy they saw at catering this morning who turned out to be Willie Mack. Johnny TV and The MxM Collection are natural partners and it was teased a few months ago that they’d be looking to join forces, but then TV had to deal with the LA fires and MxM had to deal with their emerging petty theft and belt-alteration business. Nice to see them back together now though.

Mack and TV kicked things off making me yearn for the days of Lucha Underground (which I do pretty much daily). Mack can move like he’s 100lbs lighter than he is so he hand TV were able to have a really fun exchange before Guevara tagged in. TV blocked a big chop and set Guevera on his butt to tag in Mansoor. Mdden went with him for a double team, but Guevara took them both out with a moonsault.

Rhodes tagged in and he and Guevara delivered double uppercuts to Mansoor. Madden hit Rhodes from behind though, giving Mansoor an opening for another double team. Madden and Mansoor put Rhodes’ head in between their butts and knocked him back and forth before TV tagged in. Rhodes, now isolated took punishment from all three in the corner.

Rhodes hit a snap powerslam on Mansoor and hot tags were landed on both sides of the ring, bringing Guevara in to face TV. Mack jumped in and took out Mansoor and Madden, but fell victim to TV’s kicking feet. Rhodes hit a Texas Destroyer and set up Mansoor for some Shattered Dreams.

Madden them tried to clean house, but Mack stopped him. Mack hit a standing moonsault on Madden and Guevara landed a GTH on TV to get the pin and the victory for his team.

After the match, Mansoor and Madden knocked the Tag Champs out of the ring and beat up Mack. TV joined the fun with a Starship Pain and then pretended to pin Mack. Mansoor counted three and madden stole one of the title belts again.

Athena & Diamante defeated Jordan Blu & Mazzerati

Athena has been ROH Women’s Champion for a staggering 836 days as of this writing. For context, when Athena won the title, ChatGPT was not a thing. Also during her (ongoing) reign: “Twitter” Became “X,” Elton John completed an EGOT andThe New England Patriots have had three head coaches. Not bad for the “Forever Champ.” During that same period, her partner tonight, Diamante had roughly 58 matches and won 29 of them. That doesn’t answer the standard wrestling tag team question of “CAN THEY COEXIST?!?!” but it’s interesting nonetheless. As for their opponents, Blu was making her ROH debut and Mazzerati’s last ROH win came in 2019. Yes, 2019.

Diamante started off against Mazzerati and then Blu. Every time she knocked down an opponent, she turned to Athena for approval and offered her the chance to come in and finish them off. Athena declined and instead shouted instructions from the corner. Mazzerati got in a little bit of offense, but Diamante easily deflected it. Diamante took on both women two-on-one before Athena tagged in.

Athena laid out Mazzerati with a big ol’ punch to the face and pinned her to get the victory without having to break a sweat thanks to Diamante.

Next, Footage was shown from AEW Collision where ROH World Champion Chris Jericho taunted and enraged Bandito, setting up a title match between the two. Jericho cut a promo and declared that he wants Bandito’s mask, so their match will be Title For Mask at AEW Dynasty.

The Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese) defeated The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds & Evil Uno)

The Premier Athletes and the Dark Order both share something in common: They are currently kind of lost in the shuffle in a red-hot ROH Tag Team Division. Both are entertaining in their own right, but seem to serve as stepping stones for other teams to move up a rung. Facing each other here kind of seems like putting a hat on a hat, but since both the Athletes and the Order know how to work a crowd, this match had the potential to be very, very fun.

As the Premier Athletes did their schtick in the ring, The Frat House (Cole Karter, Griff Garrison, Preston Vance and Jakked Jameson) were shown watching from the crowd at ringside. Daivari went over and “cheers’ed” the Frat House who chanted “Dark Order Sucks!”

Nese and Daivari jumped Uno and Reynolds off the bell, but The Dark Order got the best of them with double running splashes in the corner. I mean, corners. Things settled down briefly after that, with Reynolds and Nese battling in the ring. Nese sent Reynolds to the outside where Daivari and Sterling stomped him.

Nese and Daivari tagged in and out, beating on Reynolds until he was finally able to battle back, but Nese took out Uno on the outside, so there was no one there to take the tag. The Frat House cheered loudly at ringside, leading duelling “Athletes Rule! Athletes Suck!” chants with the crowd.

Finally, Uno was able to tag in and began clearing house, hitting a double DDT on Nese and Daivari. Reynolds came back in for a Gory Special, but Nese broke up the pin. Daivari and Reynolds traded blows in the ring, with Reynolds sending Daivari to the outside and hitting both him and Nese with a dive.

Then, the Frat House threw a drink on Reynolds, hoping to cause a distraction. Reynolds didn’t fall for it though and tossed Nese at them as revenge. Back in the ring, Reynolds had Daivari pinned, but Sterling caused a distraction and the ref didn’t see it. Vance hopped the rail and knocked out Reynolds, allowing Daivari to get the pin and the stolen victory for the Premier Athletes. The Frat House then joined them in the ring, shaking hands with Sterling. Perhaps this is the beginning of a new supergroup?

Up next, Renee Paquette talked to QT Marshall. Marshall threw a drink on Paul Walter Hauser at the AEW Revolution pre-show and Hauser, who has been sober for three years, was not impressed. He wants a match. Marshall said that Hauser is way overblowing it and doesn’t deserve a match until Hauser has the guts to ask him personally.

Queen Aminata defeated Viva Van

Still struggling to get her first ROH singles win, Van, fresh off a loss to La Catalina last week, seems to have drawn the short straw again and therefore has to take on her polar opposite in Aminata. Aminata has not lost in ROH since July of 2024 and in that process chalked up wins over Alysin Kaye, Lady Frost and Harley Cameron, just to name a few. Well, three, but you get it.

Aminata, rocking her best Beyonce hair, exchanged wristlocks with Van until finally twisting her into an armbar. After getting out, Van ran the ropes and got Aminata into an armbar of her own. Aminata was able to get a leg on the ropes though and it was broken up.

Aminata then brought the strikes, hitting and kicking Van until she didn’t know which way was up. Aminata then threw her into the ropes, but Van bounced back with a spinning heel kick and half-crab submission hold.

The two then traded chops in the middle of the ring. Aminata came out on top and set up Van for a huge knee that knocked her through the ropes. Aminata dragged her back in and pinned Van for the victory.

Backstage, the Premier Athletes cut a promo. Sterling assured everyone they are the best Tag Team in the industry and everyone knows it. They will be future Tag Team Champions because “Athletes Rule.” So there.

Atlantis Jr., Fuego & Titan defeated Barbaro Cavernario, Rugido & Volador Jr.

This week’s Crisis of Infinite Luchadores match features ROH mainstay Atlantis Jr, Titan and Fuego taking on Cavernario, Rudigo and Volador Jr. But you probably already knew that because you read the headline. Anyways, these Luchardore matches have been absolutely unreal and as someone who has only a passing familiarity with CMLL and the Luchadore scene, it’s been awesome seeing these performers every week.

All six men started off in the ring. Superkicks were flying and when the dust settled it was Fuego and Cavernario in the ring. Cavernario bailed early and Volador jumped in against Titan. That was no fun, so Rugio came in to take on Titan, but Atlantis preferred it would be him, so he jumped in. Suddenly Cavernario was in the ring too, but Atlantis dispatched him and danced with Fuego.

Titan found himself alone in the ring facing a triple team while Fuego and Atlantis recovered on the outside. Volador and Rugido worked cohesively, but Cavernario landed the real hard hits on the prone Titan. Atlantis tried to save him, but inadvertently took his place in the three-on-one mayhem. Not to be left out, Fuego jumped in and met a similar fate.

Fuego, Atlantis and Titan all tagged in and out, but Cavernario, Rugido and Volador just stayed in the ring the whole time, triple teaming whoever tagged in. Why one team used tags and the others didn’t was beyond me, but that was their strategy and they stuck with it.

Cavernario tried to take Atlantis’ mask off with his teeth, but was unsuccessful. Atlantis hit a backbreaker on Cavernario and Fuego and Titan jumped in to handle Volador and Rugido. They were successful until Caverario took them both out. Atlantis then dispatched him and Fuego and Titan went for a double pin, that got a two-count.

Back and forth, back and forth, the match was still up for grabs with neither team able to get the high ground on the other. Titan and Volador ended up the legal men and traded blows in the middle of the ring. Titan hit a big hurricanrana then dove to the outside with Fuego taking his place. He took Volador to the outside and Atlantis and Cavernario battled in the ring. Atlantis hit a massive Mexican Destroyer on Cavernario followed by a frog splash to get the pin and the victory for his team!
