ROH Death Before Dishonor PPV Results

ROH Death Before Dishonor 2023

The results are in for the Death Before Dishonor ROH PPV featuring six championship matches on the main broadcast.

Ring of Honor’s second pay-per-view took place on Friday, July 21st from the CURE Insurance Arena in Trenton, New Jersey. There were some injuries leading up to some of the matches on the card, which led to some changes in the lineup over the last couple of weeks.

Two matches that were originally booked for Death Before Dishonor were Samoa Joe vs. Mark Briscoe and Claudio Castagnoli vs. Eddie Kingston. Since Briscoe suffered a major knee injury, Joe faced Dalton Castle instead.

As for the Claudio-Kingston match, that didn’t happen because Kingston is wrestling for New Japan Pro-Wrestling to work the G1 Climax tournament, which lasts from July 15th to August 13th. Claudio’s opponent at Death Before Dishonor was Pac, which is a match that was announced after AEW Dynamite this past Wednesday when Pac walked out on Claudio and his teammates in the Blood & Guts match.

The ROH brand is featured exclusively on ROH’s weekly series ROH Honor Club TV on their streaming service Honor Club. There are sometimes ROH matches on AEW shows like Dynamite, Collision and Rampage as well. The commentary team was Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman.

There were four matches on the pre-show. Here are the results of the eight matches on the main show.

* Gravity defeated Komander (with Alex Abrahantes).

* Samoa Joe defeated Dalton Castle (with The Boys (Brent Tate and Brandon Tate)) by technical submission to retain the ROH World Television Championship.

* Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) defeated The Lucha Brothers (Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey FĂ©nix) (with Alex Abrahantes), The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) (with Maria Kanellis-Bennett), and Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta) to win the ROH World Tag Team Championship. The Lucha Bros were the champions going into the match.

* Mogul Embassy (Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona) (with Prince Nana) defeated Leon Ruffin and Six or Nine (Master Wato and Ryusuke Taguchi) to retain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championships.
