Zero Hour Begins

Ring of Honor’s Death Before Dishonor event kicked off with the Zero Hour, with the first match seeing VertVixen and Viva Van taking on Mina Shirakawa and Queen Aminata. Early in the match, Viva Van blocked a Chocolate Kisses attempt from Aminata and used her own move on her. Mina fought from underneath as the match continued, and things built to a hot tag to Aminata as she took it to both VertVixen and Viva Van, leading to a double stomp off the top to Van for a near fall. Things swung back and forth between the two teams until Aminata hit Vixen with a headbutt and Mina hit a diving Tornado DDT off the top for the win. 

TBS Champion Maya World cut a backstage promo saying she was still a Ring of Honor girl. She thanked Willow Nightingale for giving her a title shot tomorrow night on Collision but said she would derail the All In match when she takes Willow’s title.

ELP vs. Adam Brooks

Announced just before showtime, the next match featured New Japan’s ELP taking on Adam Brooks. Early in the match, ELP and Brooks exchanged roll-ups, with ELP nearly catching Brooks with one of them. Brooks began an offensive assault on ELP and seemed to get the crowd behind him despite their huge positive reaction to ELP at the jump. Brooks scored multiple near falls in a row, but ELP hit the Cuthroat Driver for a near fall of his own. Finally, ELP hit a Frog Splash off the top for the pinfall victory. 

AR Fox vs. Komander vs. Soleil

Next up was a three-way match between AR Fox, Komander, and Soleil. Fox was in control as the match began, using his high-flying moveset to take it to both of his opponents. Fox hit a crazy-looking dive onto Soleil on the outside, where he landed on his head underneath the announce table but appeared to be okay. Things continued at a crazy pace and ended when Komander hit the Cielito Lindo on Soleil. The announcers noted this was the second three-way match AR Fox lost without being pinned, suggesting Komander and AR Fox would have a one-on-one match soon. 

Cage & Hechicero vs. Price & Oliver

Next, Brian Cage and Hechicero faced Alec Price & Jordan Oliver. Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta came out for commentary during this match. The crowd was firmly behind “Busta and the Brain” as they took control early on, as Price hit a huge dive to the outside onto Cage. The Don Callis Family members kept using both their strengths to take down the high-flyers, but Price and Oliver kept fighting from underneath. In the end, Cage & Hechicero picked up the win after Cage deadlift superplexed Price into the ring, and Hechicero immediately hit his Tijeras Driver for the pinfall. 

Death Before Dishonor – Main Card

The main portion of the card kicked off with the Six-Man Championship match (which should absolutely be changed to the ROH Trios titles) with Lethal Twist taking on defending champions Dalton Castle & The Outrunners. As the match began, it was explained that Turbo Floyd refuses to ever take his Championship belt off, and it, in fact, remained around his waist during the action. The champions took it to the challengers early on, but Lethal Twist cheated behind the referee’s back to gain an advantage. Johnson, Lethal, and Christian got the heat on Truth Magnum and stopped him from making the hot tag multiple times.

Finally, Dalton Castle was tagged in, and he and The Outrunners seemed to have the match won when Blake Christian removed Turbo’s title, distracting the champions. Lethal Twist then assaulted the faces with a flurry of offense, but Christian tweaked his knee coming off the top rope. Lethal Twist won when Blake Christian rolled up Turbo Floyd, and Jay Lethal grabbed his hand from the outside for leverage. Lethal Twist are your new ROH Six-Man Champions. 

Lexi Nair interviewed The Kingdom and Sammy Guevara & Beast Mortos backstage, where Matthew and Michael said they needed to work together. Mortos roared, and Sammy said, translating, that they had a deal.
