Ring Of Honor
Date: May 12, 2026
Location: SoFi Center, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman
It’s a special edition of the show as we are three days from Supercard Of Honor, which will be the third show of the week. That’s not the most promising feeling as these shows tend to be pretty a bunch of stuff that doesn’t have any other spot to air. Given how much filler the weekly show involves, that’s covering a lot of ground. Let’s get to it.
Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.
Bustah And The Brain talk about how they have been grateful to be here thus far but now they want to be the Tag Team Champions. Therefore, they’ll be doing the same thing they do every night: plan world domination.
Bustah And The Brain vs. Spanish Announce Project
Oliver works on Angelico’s arm to start but gets pulled back into the corner. Serpentico comes in and picks up the pace, only to get clotheslined by Price. Everything breaks down and Bustah And The Brain are sent outside for a pair of big boots from Angelico. Back in and Serpentico starts in on Price’s arm, with Price escaping for the tag back to Oliver. Angelico plants Price and heads outside, where Price hits him with a suicide dive. Back in and Serpentico gets picked up for a belly to back suplex/diving reverse DDT combination for the pin at 6:21.
Rating: C+. I’m almost starting to think that Bustah And The Brain could become something around here, which would at least be an upgrade over another Sammy Guevara version of the Tag Team Champions. The titles have basically been put on ice for a bit so giving them to a team who, for now at least, is regularly around would be nice to see. Then again that’s assuming they actually get a shot, which is a big enough accomplishment in its own right.
Post match the Lethal Twist come out to beat up Serpentico, with Blake Christian putting the Bandido mask on. Christian says Bandido isn’t here again but as usual, he is. He’ll be here Friday too, when he wins the World Title.
Lance Archer vs. Trent Jordy
Archer drags him to the ring for the opening bell but Jorday actually breaks up the Blackout. The chokeslam and a swinging Rock Bottom finish Jordy at 1:43. As usual, there’s no explanation for why Archer has never gotten a title shot despite the all over the place justifications for other people getting shots.
Diamante is ready to make Deonna Purrazzo tap out and win the Women’s Pure Title.
Deonna Purrazzo vs. Haven Harris
Non-title Proving Ground match under Pure Rules. Harris takes her to the mat with a headlock to start but Purrazzo reverses into an early armbar. The Fujiwara armbar makes Harris use her first rope break before she hits a spinebuster for two. Purrazzo powerbombs her right back down and the Fujiwara armbar finishes Harris at 2:41.
Evil Uno vs. Vaughn Vertigo
The bell rings and it’s time to talk about Viva Van vs. Red Velvet. Uno shoulders him into the corner to start but Vaughn hits a leg lariat for two. Uno blocks a ram into the corner though and hits some running clotheslines. A DDT gives Uno two but Vaughn’s running knee gets the same. The swanton misses though and Uno hits a kind of pumphandle Downward Spiral for the pin at 4:02.
Rating: C. Uno is someone else who just kind of sticks around without doing much of note. I’m not sure what that is going to mean for him but it’s not like he has anything going on. Granted I’ll take him wandering around on his own rather than doing something with another stable around here.
Satnam Singh vs. Dave Dutra/Nick Ruiz
The team runs into each other to start and some big chops in the corner make it worse. The double chokeslam is broken up though but for some reason they try a double suplex. Singh crossbodies both of them but gets up at one, setting up the double chokeslam for the double pin at 2:32. I’m more confused about why the announcers’ table is completely empty. Maybe move the table so it’s not clear that commentary isn’t there?
AR Fox/Mascara Dorada/Mistico/El Phantasmo/Michael Oku vs. Nick Wayne/Kip Sabian/Lethal Twist
Fox and Lethal start things off with Fox taking over and grabbing a swinging suplex. Dorada comes in to forearm away at Christian but they both flip into a standoff. It’s off to Johnson, who gets taken down with a rather springboardy armdrag. Oku comes in for the dropkick but can’t get the half crab, as it’s off to Wayne instead.
Phantasmo comes in to chop away and does a rather snazzy rope walk into a hurricanrana. It’s back to Christian to stomp away in the corner who stomp away, only for Phantasmo to get over to Mistico. House is quickly cleaned, including a springboard double crossbody. The big spinning wristdrag takes Wayne down, setting off the parade of knockdowns.
Wayne’s standing Sliced Bread drops Mistico before Lethal and Mistico dropkick Fox and Wayne to the floor. Stereo dives connect, followed by Johnson and Dorada adding dives of their own. That leaves Fox to hit a springboard imploding 450 but Christian is back in with a springboard double stomp to Oku’s back. The 21 Plex drops Oku and Wayne adds a pumphandle fisherman’s driver for the pin at 7:58.
Rating: B. This was a nice way to see Wayne get a win and cram in a bunch of people at once. I’ll take that over some random tag match between middle of the road teams who have nothing going on and it made for a good main event. Fox is set for a title shot against Wayne on Thursday so there was even a reason for some of the people to be fighting. Not bad at all.
Overall Rating: B-. There was one thing that made this show stand out: it felt like there was a purpose to the whole thing. This was a show that felt like it was all about getting fans interested in what Ring Of Honor had to offer. Like it or not, but there was a focus here and it helped quite a bit. Good enough show here, with Bustah And The Brain moving towards the Tag Team Titles and the main event working well. Nice job here and far different than the previous special editions.
