I'll just like seeing Shibata as champion more than Yuta personally.

But ya if Shibata wins n calls out Danielson I die
Danielson wins then ZSJ comes out

Just trying to become my best friend aren't you, lol?
Ah, I just would love Chris Hero to come and see him as Hero once again on the reg. And a match with Shibata seems pretty tight.

Ring of Honor held their second set of tapings for their relaunched TV product on Sunday at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.

Several of the matches were follow-ups from things set up during Saturday's TV taping which saw the debut of Zack Sabre Jr. and some title matches.

Even though they held a AEW Dark taping earlier in the day, they did hold one additional Dark match prior to the ROH portion:

  • AEW All-Atlantic Champion Orange Cassidy & Danhausen defeated The WorkHorsemen
Sunday's show featured the return of Proving Ground matches which were a staple of the promotion for years. They are essentially title eliminators where the challenger earns a title shot within 60 days if they pick up the win or go to a draw.

Former WWE ring announcer Tony Chimel was also in the house and even got on the mic at one point before the show.

ROH:
  • Claudio Castagnoli defeated Willie Mack
  • Dante Martin (w/Darius Martin) defeated Mike Bennett (w/Maria Kanellis & Matt Taven). Post-match, Taven attacked Darius.
  • Gran Metalik & Blake Christian defeated Ari Daivari & Slim J (w/Mark Sterling)
  • Eddie Kingston defeated JVS-K. During the match, Claudio was seated at ringside and Eddie knocked a drink on to Claudio's white shirt.
  • Athena defeated Hyan
  • Silas Young defeated Marcus Kross. Post-match promo by Silas who was interrupted by Shane Taylor. The two will have a match later on.
  • The Embassy defeated Dalton Castle & The Boys to retain the ROH six man titles. Post-match, AR Fox, Gran Metalik, and Blake Christian ran the Embassy off from continuing the beat down.
  • Skye Blue defeated Lady Frost
  • Christopher Daniels and Matt Sydal defeated The Outrunners. Post-match, Aussie Open issued a challenge for a future match against Daniels and Sydal.
  • Wheeler Yuta defeated Clark Connors to retain the ROH Pure title. Colt Cabana, BJ Whitmer, and Dean Malenko were the judges. Post-match, Wheeler Yuta said he's no longer a student and wants to face the LA Dojo teacher and defeat Katsuyori Shibata in a Pure title match. Claudio joined Yuta in the ring to raise their titles.
  • Mark Briscoe defeated Tony Nese (w/Josh Woods & Mark Sterling)
  • AR Fox, Blake Christian & Gran Metalik defeated Ari Daivari, Slim J & JVS-K (w/Mark Sterling). Post-match attack by The Embassy.
  • Trish Adora defeated Madison Rayne
  • Rush & Dralistico (w/Jose) defeated Rhett Titus a& Hot Sauce Tracy Williams
  • Matt Taven (w/Mike Bennett & Maria Kanellis) defeated Darius Martin
  • Brian Cage (w/The Gates of Agony & Prince Nana) defeated Tony Deppen. Post-match, AR Fox, Blake Christian, and Metalik ran off The Embassy with weapons.
  • Shane Taylor (w/JD Griffey) defeated Silas Young
  • Billie Starkz defeated Miranda Alize
  • Aussie Open defeated Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal
  • Samoa Joe defeated Cheeseburger. Post-match, Mark Briscoe ran Joe off and said he would be the next ROH Television champion to send the crowd home happy.

There's really not enough words to express how excited I am for the ROH product after seeing all these match-ups at once. Zack Sabre Jr vs. Blake Christian being the first thing I saw upon opening the thread, it's fair to say I lost my shit. OH MY GOD. :mark: Literally a dream match for me just casually being booked.

That's how I felt about a lot of these as well, pretty much interested in every match I glanced over, fair to say TK is starting off hot and isn't holding back with booking crazy matches right off the bat. So many cool angles/feuds already from the tapings, I can't wait to see them play out on the show.

One thing I really loved to see in particular and on a more personal level is the fact so many of my favourite talents from all around are being featured in a prominent way already. Like Blake especially is getting a lot of high profile matches and even challenging for the NJPW TV Title & 6 man titles with AR Fox and Metalik. Was not expecting that so quickly for him, very happy to see that as a fan that thinks he has high potential to be a huge mainstay. Billie Starkz interacting with Toni Storm another thing that jumped out to me, just crazy.
