FINAL BATTLE 2023 goes down in twenty-four hours and for the first time it is available exclusively on Honor Club, but before ROH's year-end extravaganza comes to you for the twenty-second consecutive time, there's one more edition of ROH ON HONOR CLUB to go, one last time for the competitors fighting on Friday night to prepare for war! In advance of his next Continental Classic match, ROH World Champion Eddie Kingston will be in Proving Ground action, as will ROH Pure Champion Wheeler Yuta, and we will also see ROH Women's World Champion Athena compete, albeit not on the Proving Grounds! Leyla Hirsch will be in action, just as Taya Valkyrie and Rachael Ellering will meet for their first singles match, and so much more is on tap as 2023 draws closer to its end! Just like FINAL BATTLE 2023, ROH ON HONOR CLUB is only available at WatchROH.com, and gets underway at 7pm ET/6pm CT! Do not miss out on the final episode of ROH ON HONOR CLUB before FINAL BATTLE 2023 to see how the warriors of ROH prepare for one of the biggest nights on ROH's calendar since 2002! PROVING GROUND MATCH... ROH World Champion Eddie Kingston vs. The Dark Order's Evil Uno Eddie Kingston comes into this fight still the ROH World & NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion, but that might not be the case for much longer as the Continental Classic rolls on with Kingston only having three points to his name, and a bout with Daniel Garcia on tap for Saturday night's COLLISION. Before he gets there, and while the ROH World Championship is still his to claim, Eddie Kingston has to step into a Proving Ground fight with The Dark Order's Evil Uno! It's been 13 ½ years since the last time these two men went one-on-one, for both that was a whole different life, might as well have been entirely different humans, but for what it's worth, Uno was the victor in that contest. With more than a decade between these two fights, each man has gone through changes, learned a whole lot about themselves as people and as professional wrestlers, and in the case of Kingston, risen to championship status as a singles wrestler in two different promotions. Uno, while head of The Dark Order, is absolutely one of the most underrated competitors in the game today, be it ROH, AEW, or anywhere else in the wrestling landscape. He is a violent man, one need just look at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2023's Fight Without Honor between The Dark Order and The Righteous with Stu Grayson. He hits hard, he can take a beating, and his heart, though quite dark, is strong; Evil Uno is going to give Kingston a tremendous fight in pursuit of a future ROH World Championship match, and he doesn't technically have to beat Kingston to earn the shot. Proving Ground rules dictate that the potential challenger need only last ten minutes with the reigning champion to earn an opportunity, but that's not as easy as it may sound on paper. In the whole of ROH since the dawn of the new era, no individual or team has managed to earn a championship match on the Proving Ground, can Evil Uno be the first to do so while Kingston is in the midst of the Continental Classic and his most trying time as ROH World Champion? PROVING GROUND MATCH... ROH Pure Champion Wheeler Yuta vs. Jason Geiger Though he's only made one prior appearance in Ring of Honor, a Pure Rules loss to Daniel Garcia back in July, Jason Geiger is a man with more than twenty years experience inside the squared circle, brought into professional wrestling by none other than Don Callis himself. He's been in the ring with Kenny Omega, El Generico, Kevin Owens, even fought Dan Severn in a MMA Rules match years ago, but this Thursday night on Honor Club, it's back to the Pure Rules for Geiger. Unfortunately for him, he has to enter into the ring with a very angry young man who's currently on a collision course with FTW Champion HOOK, 3-Time Pure Champion and Blackpool Combat Club member Wheeler Yuta. After defeating Katsuyori Shibata to claim this championship for a third time, the confidence of Yuta is sky high, and that's led him to challenge HOOK to fight under FTW Rules. But before Yuta gets there, the youngest member of The BCC is meeting Jason Geiger on the Proving Ground, under Pure Rules, this Thursday night on Honor Club! Can Geiger put his years of experience, as well as the knowledge gained from that last Pure Rules match, to good use and be the first person in the New Era of Honor to earn their shot via Proving Ground? ALSO FEATURING: -Iron Savages & Jacked Jameson vs. Dalton Castle & The Boys -Leyla Hirsch in action! -Rachael Ellering vs. Taya Valkyrie -ROH Women's World Champion Athena competes! -The Righteous in tag team action! -Shane Taylor prepares for Keith Lee!! -Cole Karter & Griff Garrison in action!

Last week during ROH ON HONOR CLUB, fans witnessed as Komander and Dalton Castle each qualified for the ROH World TV Title Survival of the Fittest bout taking place at FINAL BATTLE 2023, as well as Lee Johnson fail to earn himself a ROH World Title bout on the Proving Ground. Plus, ROH President Tony Khan informed Billie Starkz of her ROH Women's World Championship fight with Athena going down that night in Texas, we learned that Shane Taylor and Keith Lee would fight that night as well, Nyla Rose competed in her first-ever ROH match, and more! FINAL BATTLE 2023 is just over a week away, and the Survival of the Fittest Six-Way Elimination bout that will crown a new ROH World TV Champion is looking for four more entrants! Three more will earn their way this Thursday night during ROH ON HONOR CLUB, the exclusive home for ROH action beginning at 7pm ET/6pm CT every Thursday night, as well as the exclusive home for FINAL BATTLE 2023! With content from more than twenty years of history, Honor Club is the place to watch the evolution of professional wrestling as created by Ring of Honor, and featuring some of the greatest professional wrestlers that have defined the sport for this century and beyond! WORLD TV TITLE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST ELIMINATOR MATCHES.. Last week, in the first two Survival of the Fittest qualifying bouts, Dalton Castle and Komander advanced to the 6-Way Elimination Finals taking place at FINAL BATTLE 2023 where the winner will be crowned the new ROH World Television Champion. This week on HONOR CLUB, the ROH faithful will watch as six other men compete to earn a spot in that historic bout! The Don Callis Family's Kyle Fletcher vs. Gravity Kyle Fletcher and Gravity are two men whose ROH journeys only began this year, even though Fletcher did have a quartet of bouts in 2018 and 2019, and for each this is a first-time opportunity to participate in the Survival of the Fittest competition. Fletcher, a former ROH World Tag Team Champion, has only lost three matches in the New Era of Honor, and is undefeated in singles competition with six victories. Gravity, on the other hand, has exploded onto the ROH scene in 2023, making it to the finals of the World TV Title Eliminator Tournament before falling to Shane Taylor, though overall winning just five of his nine ROH singles bouts. He's been an impressive athlete, bringing his unique Lucha stylings to the table, but now Gravity must put it all together, and find that drive that got him to the Eliminator Tournament Finals if he hopes to stop the momentum Kyle Fletcher's been building since he first set foot in Ring of Honor in 2023! “The Technical Beast” Josh Woods vs. “Big Shotty” Lee Johnson Of the six men competing on Thursday night to earn their FINAL BATTLE 2023 shot, only two have ever competed in SOTF prior to this year, one of them being “The Technical Beast” Josh Woods. Back in 2017, during his first year in Ring of Honor, Woods attempted to make the Elimination Finals but fell to Silas Young in the Qualifying bout. Still, as a former Pure Champion, he craves adding that accolade to his resume, but he's got to make it past Lee Johnson who's coming in fresh off fighting the ROH World Champion on the Proving Ground. Admittedly, “Big Shotty” doesn't have the strongest record in Ring of Honor, winless in seven singles matches but having scored a big Four Corner Survival victory two weeks ago over Jack Cartwheel, Fred Rosser, and Willie Mack that led to said Proving Ground bout. So this is a major opportunity for Lee to continue to step up his game, and get one day closer to the biggest moment of his career; who will move on to FINAL BATTLE 2023 in this first-ever fight? “Taiga Style” Lee Moriarty vs. “Hot Sauce” Tracy Williams Tracy Williams is the only wrestler competing this Thursday, besides Josh Woods, to have ever participated in a SOTF tournament, in his case the 2018 edition where Tracy lost in the Qualifying Round. In addition, Williams is also the only one of the men competing on Thursday night who has ever held the ROH World TV Championship, reigning for just 35 days in 2021. Moriarty, a former challenger to both the ROH World Championship and Pure Championship, stands at 5-7 in ROH singles matches this year, but he's been in the ring with everyone from Jay Lethal to Katsuyori Shibata to Konosuke Takeshita, picking up a great deal of experience along the way. Will the things “Taiga Style” has learned, and his affiliation with Shane Taylor Promotions, be the ticket to advancing to FINAL BATTLE 2023? Or will the experience of Tracy Williams prove the deciding factor in this SOTF 2023 Qualifying bout? ONE-ON-ONE... Billie Starkz vs. Dani Mo Billie Starkz finally has the opportunity she's wanted every since coming to Ring of Honor, and essentially being forced to sit under Athena's learning tree. Honestly, if it wasn't for the abusive treatment Starkz had to endure, there would be few better places (perhaps none) to learn than at the side of, not only the most dominant Women's World Champion that Ring of Honor has ever seen, but one of the most dominating champions the company has seen across all divisions in its near 22-year history. But one can only take so much abuse, and Starkz finally reached her limit with Athena's treatment, leading to their fight set for FINAL BATTLE 2023 in Texas. With a couple weeks to go before their showdown, Starkz is intent on being the best version of herself that she can be, and that means getting in the ring and keeping her skills fresh. With that in mind, Billie Starkz will be in action this Thursday night on Honor Club, and there's no doubt that “The Fallen Goddess” will be watching! SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE... After months of issues between Ethan Page, Tony Nese, and “Smart” Mark Sterling, it appears there will finally be a resolution on December 15th when FINAL BATTLE 2023 comes to Honor Club! In that video embedded above, we heard Board of Directors member Jerry Lynn say that Sterling would be handcuffed to ringside, giving “Smart” Mark what he wants by being at ringside just not exactly how he wants it, and as we all heard in the chaos at the end, Jerry announced that the contract signing would go down this Thursday night! Every wrestling fan knows how out of control these things can get, will this one follow in the footsteps of every contract signing that's come before? Or will the presence of ROH President Tony Khan overseeing the signing help to mitigate any such behavior? ALSO FEATURING: -Dalton Castle vs. Johnny TV -The Butcher & The Blade vs. The Boys -The Workhorsemen vs. The Infantry -The Renegades vs. Lady Frost & Trish Adora -The Righteous vs. The Outrunners -Rachael Ellering in action

It feels like every couple weeks there is a major shake-up in the landscape of Ring of Honor, Samoa Joe vacating the ROH World Television Championship for example, and this past Saturday on RAMPAGE was no different as a new Pure Champion was crowned when Wheeler Yuta defeated Katsuyori Shibata! That makes Yuta the only 2-Time and 3-Time champion in the history of the Pure Title, and has done little but fueled his already expanding ego. Fans also witnessed ROH World Champion Eddie Kingston fall to Brody King in the Continental Classic Tournament, a heartbreaking defeat for the champion considering he's put both the ROH World Title and the NJPW STRONG Openweight Title on the line in said tournament, but one he's got to get over quickly given his match with Lee Johnson on Thursday and his fight with Bryan Danielson on Saturday! As FINAL BATTLE 2023 draws nigh, and the Survival of the Fittest to crown a new ROH World TV Champion takes shape, ROH ON HONOR CLUB is the place to catch all the action starting at 7pm ET/6pm CT every Thursday night! In addition to being the exclusive home of FINAL BATTLE 2023, Honor Club is also the place to watch more than 20 years of professional wrestling history created by Ring of Honor, featuring some of the greatest professional wrestlers that have defined the sport for this century and beyond! SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST TV TITLE ELIMINATOR... Dalton Castle vs. Evil Uno And so it begins, the road to FINAL BATTLE 2023 and the crowning of a new ROH World Television Champion with the return of Survival of the Fittest (https://www.ringofhonor.com/post/the-history-of-survival-of-the-fittest)! A staple of ROH since 2004, the short explanation for SOTF is that a series of matches whittle the field down to six competitors, and those six compete in an Elimination-Style bout to determine the winner. When ROH returns to Texas for its annual year-end extravaganza, for the very first time in the event's history Survival of the Fittest will have a championship title at stake, which means the competitors in Ring of Honor need to start earning their way into that title situation! Two such bouts will go down this Thursday night on Honor Club when Dalton Castle locks horns with Evil Uno in one SOTF Eliminator contest while Komander faces Gringo Loco in another! Castle, though a former ROH World/TV/Six-Man Champion, as well as the winner of the 2017 Soaring Eagle Cup Tournament, has not had great success in the SOTF field. 2015 saw him knocked out in the qualifier, as did 2018, and while Castle made it to the Elimination bout in 2016, he was the second man eliminated in the match. So he would love nothing more than to return to the finals and add a SOTF victory, as well as a second TV Championship reign, to his already impressive ROH resume. As for Evil Uno, given his limited ROH experiences, he has never been entered into the SOTF field, although he and Stu Grayson did participate in the Tag Wars 2010 tournament early in their careers, and somewhat surprisingly this will also mark Uno's first foray into singles competition under the ROH banner. He, along with the rest of The Dark Order, have been quite successful in ROH competition in the New Era of Honor, including that unforgettable Fight Without Honor at DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR 2023 against Stu Grayson and The Righteous, but this is a whole new test for Uno. At least history, albeit from over four years ago, bends in his favor as the lone singles encounter between Dalton and Uno went in Evil Uno's favor. Komander vs. Gringo Loco Now the other two competitors facing a SOTF Eliminator Match this Thursday are completely new to this ROH staple, but they are quite familiar with one another. Though their first meeting took place only 17 months ago, Gringo Loco and Komander have shared the ring on twenty-four occasions, some as friend and some as foe, with each holding a victory in their two singles matches, and Komander holding the Ring of Honor victory from episode 19 on Honor Club. This Thursday, Gringo Loco has a chance to not only even up their ROH score, but also get into a Ring of Honor title picture for the very first time! Komander has had opportunities at both the ROH World Championship, as well as the ROH World Tag Titles, but a berth in the SOTF Finals would be his first time near the World Television Championship, so this Thursday is a night of huge potential for both individuals. Who will advance to FINAL BATTLE 2023 this week on Honor Club? PROVING GROUND MATCH... ROH World Champion Eddie Kingston vs. “Big Shotty” Lee Johnson This isn't the first time “Big Shotty” Lee Johnson is standing on the Proving Ground with a potential ROH World Championship match at stake. Three months ago, during Claudio Castagnoli's reign, Johnson had his first opportunity to earn a title fight but, just three minutes and thirty seconds later, he was looking up at the lights. That didn't kill his hunger to find success in ROH, not in the least, in fact in the eleven weeks of ROH ON HONOR CLUB since, Lee has been in the ring seven of them to garner that invaluable experience, and though he's won just one of those bouts, last week's Four Corner Survival, each has pushed “Big Shotty” to better himself just that much more. This week on Honor Club, Lee has his second chance to step onto the Proving Ground for a potential ROH World Championship match, only this time it is against Eddie Kingston, a man coming into Thursday night having just tasted bitter defeat in his first Continental Classic bout: So will this be a Kingston fired up from losing to Brody King, or one vulnerable to being upset by Lee Johnson, sending him into Saturday's COLLISION contest with Bryan Danielson on even more of a down note? ONE-ON-ONE... “Minion in Training” Billie Starkz vs. “The Problem” Marina Shafir Last week, after the Open Challenge of ROH Women's World Champion Athena and Billie Starkz led to the shocking arrival of “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey as Marina Shafir's partner, and the subsequent tapping out of the Minion-in-Training, let's just say that Starkz is not high on the list of Athena's favorite people at this moment. But this week on Honor Club, Starkz will have her opportunity to make up for that failure (only in Athena's eyes would tapping out to a Olympic-level Judo player be a failure) by defeating Marina Shafir in a singles bout. Now outside of ROH the two women have split a pair of singles matches, Marina winning the first REVOLVER bout and Starkz the second, and then of course there is the No Contest tag match there that led to the ROH fight last week, so this is in essence their rubber match. Would a victory here finally prove Billie's worth to “The Fallen Goddess” or will she forever remain a Minion-in-Training? And if “The Problem” is the one getting her hand raised Thursday night, will she then set her eyes on the Forever Champion with FINAL BATTLE 2023 on the horizon? ALSO FEATURING: -Trish Adora vs. Emi Sakura -Robert Anthony vs. Willie Mack -Leyla Hirsch in action! -The Infantry (Capt. Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo) vs. The Boys -And more!!!
