Windsor, ONT – 3.27.2026

Commentary is provided by Ian Riccaboni, Mauro Ranallo & Don Callis.

This was a PPV on Triller, and then later archived on Honor Club. MLP themselves then put out the show for free on YouTube. I watched the YouTube version, and then noticed that the Honor Club version was about 26 minutes longer. As it turns out, the Honor Club cut includes three pre-show matches. Judging by what they were, I decided to give you the highlights of those matches instead of play-by-play:

*Hyan defeated Aurora Teves in 4:43. This was mostly a showcase of Hyan’s power against the smaller Teves. Teves’ kickboxing background gave her some moments of hope, but ultimately Hyan put her away with a spear and Beauty Sleep (the Glam Slam/Waffle Face.)
*El Reverso & Mo Jabari defeated Kris Chambers & Raj Singh in 6:39. Reverso and Jabari were in Bret Hart inspired gear, so I know who I was rooting for. Chambers and Singh jumped the favorites at the bell and both Jabari and Reverso were beaten down and isolated. Reverso damn near landed on his head doing a backflip out of the corner, but recovered just fine with a tornado DDT to Chambers. Reverso low bridged the top rope to dump Singh to the outside, leaving Chambers in a position to be pinned by Reverso’s top turnbuckle moonsault.
*Maya World defeated Billie Starkz in 7:11. Starkz interjected in World’s shot at Athena’s World title the night before, so this was her chance to gain a measure of revenge. World got to showcase some impressive offense, with Starkz using hair pulling or choking to take control where necessary. Starkz let the referee know that she thought she had World pinned with an Ushigoroshi. Starkz went up the ropes looking to capitalize and instead was brought down with a sunset bomb by World. World followed that up with a Shining Wizard to pick up the pin. By far the highlight of the pre-show.

Just like the Zero Hours on the “real” ROH PPV’s, the matches featured were fine by unimportant. It’s nice to see World and Hyan accrue some victories at least. Onto the PPV itself.

Eddie Kingston & Ortiz vs. Adam Priest & Tommy Billington

Priest and Billington end up isolating Ortiz in their corner. Ortiz slams Billington and backs him to the corner so Kingston can tag himself in. Ortiz then flapjacks Billington into a sliding boot from Kingston for two. When Kingston grabs a front facelock, Billington pushes Kingston to the corner and tags in Priest, who puts the boots to the War King and picks apart his left wrist and shoulder. Kingston tries overhand chopping his way out of the corner and ends up succumbing to a lariat/German suplex combo. Ortiz jumps in to save his partner, which ends with all four men left laying. It does allow for Kingston to tag in Ortiz legally, though he quickly finds himself in a half crab from Priest. When Kingston attempts to save Ortiz, Billington pulls him down into a crossface. Kingston rolls the both of them to the floor and Ortiz frees himself from the hold. Priest places Ortiz on the top turnbuckle. Kingston shoves Billington into the barricades and then places Priest on his shoulders. Ortiz comes off the top with a Doomsday Bulldog to Priest. Billington wipes out Ortiz and Kingston with a dropkick off of the top turnbuckle. He suplexes each of them twice and places Ortiz back on the top turnbuckle. He brings down Ortiz with a superplex, but Ortiz rolls to the floor. Kingston surprises Billington with an Oklahoma Roll to get the pin at 9:38. A fun and competent tag team match that the crowd was engaged with. It’s one of those matches that could justify a tag title defense for Kingston and Ortiz down the line, or just not matter at all. I hope someday Kingston and Priest get a singles match. **¾

ROH Women’s World Television Championship
Red Velvet vs. Alice Crowley

Red Velvet has been champion since 12.5.2025 and this is her fourth defense. Crowley represents Juggalo Championship Wrestling, and this is only her second match in ROH, previously losing to Emi Sakura in August of 2023. She denies Velvet the Code of Honor. Velvet has won her defenses fairly quickly, and she looked to do the same with multiple pinning combinations early on. When that did not work out, she gave an axe kick and split-legged boot to the side of the head in the ropes. Crowley snaps Velvet’s neck across the top rope and her mid-section across the middle rope to turn the match in her favor. Velvet turns things back around by ducking a chop in the corner and laying in some of her own. Crowley drop toe holds Velvet into the middle turnbuckle to stop her charge and gets two with a fisherman’s suplex. Velvet comes back with a cazadora bulldog and double knees to Crowley’s neck. Crowley kicks out from a moonsault and mows down Velvet with a boot. Crowley gets a close nearfall with a Saito suplex. Velvet halts Crowley on the top turnbuckle and brings her down with a modified Iconoclasm. Crowley tags Velvet with a rolling forearm and drops her with an Air Raid Crash for two. Velvet superkicks Crowley to stop a lariat. Crowley catches Velvet coming off of the ropes into a swing-out slam for two. Velvet wins a forearm strike exchange and puts down Crowley with the Chef’s Kiss at 8:21. Crowley brought a lot of poise and intensity to the proceedings, which is very helpful when you’re a cold challenger. The ending came a little out of nowhere but overall this was a perfectly cromulent title defense. ***

The Lethal Twist (Blake Christian, Jay Lethal & Lee Johnson) vs. Bhupinder Gujjar, Evil Uno & Psycho Mike

Mike replaces the originally scheduled Mascara Dorada, who is out with an injury. Lethal turned his back on ROH World Champion to join Christian and Johnson, and recently won their first trios match on Honor Club. The fans were behind the Maple Leaf homers and dejected when the Lethal Twist would deny them of what they wanted, especially Psycho Mike’s bodyslam in the early going. When he finally did bodyslam all of them, the crowd went banana. Mike then landed a plancha onto everyone and brought Lethal back into the ring for another bodyslam. Lethal escaped and got rid of both Mike and Uno. He took out Gujjar with the Lethal Injection, only to turn around into another bodyslam attempt. Lethal raked Mike’s eyes, and Mike found himself eating a barrage of strikes from Christian and Johnson. Christian and Johnson gave Mike a double stomp into a rolling Death Valley Driver, ending with Hail To The King from Lethal for the pin at 12:33. You knew the more cohesive trio was going to walk away victorious, but they took the fans on a fun ride en route to that conclusion. ***

ROH Women’s World Pure Championship
Deonna Purrazzo vs. Gisele Shaw

Deonna Purrazzo has been champion since 12.5.2025 and this is her third defense. The Pure rules can be found here. D’Lo Brown, Jimmy Jacobs and Jonathan Cruz are the judges for this bout. Some playful posturing and mind games lead to Purrazzo rolling Shaw into a Fujiwara armbar. Shaw spends her first rope break to escape, and shows frustration in the development while taking a breather outside. Shaw evades a corner attack and snaps the ring ropes into Purrazzo’s eyes. She PK’s Purrazzo as Purrazzo is trying to get her bearings and slams her wrist into the ring apron and steel steps. Back in the ring, Shaw’s advantage ends when she and Purrazzo land stereo clotheslines. Purrazzo Russian leg sweeps Shaw back into a Fujiwara armbar. This time, Shaw rolls Purrazzo onto her shoulders to escape. Shaw kneels to block the Queen’s Gambit. She looks for her own Fujiwara armbraw, which Purrazzo is able to avoid by rolling Shaw into the turnbuckles. Shaw comes back with a roundhouse kick and Total Anarchy for two. Shaw applies the Fujiwara armbar, and Purrazzo uses her first rope break to escape. Shaw holds onto Purrazzo’s wrist as the two of them trade forearm strikes. Shaw pulls Purrazzo into a full nelson backbreaker, right into a Complete Shot for two. Shaw folds up Purrazzo for a pin attempt, which Purrazzo turns into a Fujiwara armbar. Shaw uses her second rope break just as Purrazzo looks to transition into the Venus de Milo. Shaw blocks the Queens Gambit with a jackknife pin, but Purrazzo hits it on her second attempt. Shaw uses her third and final rope break to stop the pinfall. After trading boots, Shaw delivers a Michinoku Driver for two. She immediately puts Purrazzo in a Fujiawara armbar. Purrazzo uses her second rope break to escape. Purrazzo escapes another full nelson backbreaker. She brings Shaw down into the Fujiwara armbar. Shaw grabs the ropes, which not only doesn’t break the hold, but gives Purrazzo the chance to pull her into the Venus de Milo. Shaw submits at 14:11. This was excellent. While Shaw was clearly capable of taking Purrazzo to the limit, she was out of her depth in the Pure Rules environment. The match was compelling from start to end and Shaw played her role as the aggressor well. Deonna’s best defense yet. ***½

PWA Champion’s Grail Championship
Rohan Raja vs. Stu Grayson

Rohan Raja has been champion since 10.19.2024 and this is his thirteenth defense. Aurora Teves is in his corner. This was a classic tenacious babyface (Grayson) vs. aggressive heel champion match. The champion’s manager also got involved on a couple of occasions to throw him off his game, including when she grabbed Grayson’s foot to halt his stride into a running knee to the head. That little trip enabled Raja to counter Grayson’s charge into a small package and get the pin at 12:51. It was good to see Grayson again, who is just as good as he ever was. It was a well put together and constructed match, but for whatever reason I find Raja hard to buy into. ***¼

Ace Austin vs. Brent Banks vs. Daisuke Sasaki vs. Jake Crist vs. Michael Allen Richard Clark vs. Michael Oku

It’s a compliment when I say that this was a good “popcorn” match, something lighter to get the crowd’s energy up after two meaty title bouts. This was a classic scramble match with people flying around, and fortunately, that allowed for everyone to have their strengths played to. Tons of cool, occasionally contrived offense that escalated as the match progressed. Oku and Austin were the standouts, and Clark was the only one with any real character on display. It was cool seeing Sasaki in this environment, and crazy to think that Crist debuted for ROH twenty years ago. Crist caught Banks in mid-air with a springboard Ace Crusher, and then Oku pounced on Crist with a Six Star Frog Splash for the pin at 10:26. ***¼

ROH Women’s World Championship
Athena vs. Taylor Rising

Athena has been the champion since 12.10.2022 and this is her thirty-fifth defense. A pair of headscissors and a tiger feint kick from Rising change Athena’s arrogant tune. Athena, though, catches Rising as Rising comes off of the apron and throws her into the barricades. Athena attacks Rising back in the ring, focusing her attack on Rising’s neck. When she gets Rising up on her shoulders, Rising victory rolls her way to freedom, and double stomps the champion’s mid-section. A lungblower, tiger feint kick, and facebuster earn Rising a two count. Rising looks for a Pedigree. Athena weaves her way free and pump handles Rising into a tombstone piledriver for two. Rising halts Athena on the top turnbuckle and brings her down with a superplex for two. Rising sunset flips Athena into a DDT for two. Rising also gets two with a Yoshi Tonic. Athena ducks a rolling forearm and Saito suplexes Rising. Athena powerbombs Rising before pump-handling her into a Complete Shot, right into a Koji Clutch. Rising taps out at 12:30. I thought Athena was going for the neck to get Rising worn down for either the Despicable Knee or O-Face, but that submission makes a lot of sense as well. I also like when wrestlers have different finishers for wrestlers of different statures. Rising did a good job, but just like all the other title matches, it was tough to buy into her as a challenger, and she was not presented as strongly as Shaw. ***¼

Ricochet vs. Rich Swann

Ricochet and Rich Swann are long time rivals and partners, primarily in Dragon Gate and PWG. This is their fifth all-time singles match, with Ricochet victorious in all four of those matches. Swann wanted to make this a high-flying affair while Ricochet looked to keep things grounded. Swann took Ricochet out on the floor with a somersault senton and then chopped him around ringside. When they got back in the ring, Ricochet took out Swann with a cyclone kick, and paid him back with his own chops around ringside. Swann shut down Ricochet with boots out of the corner before taking him out with a rolling clothesline. A rolling thunder gets Swann a two count. They fight on the apron where Ricochet swivels his way back inside with Swann and lands a German suplex. Ricochet follows up with a running shooting star press for two. Swann gets Ricochet to pick up the pace, ending with Swann taking him out with an enzuigiri. A top rope frog splash only gets Swann a two count. The two men trash talk one another as they strike one another while they get to their feet. Ricochet pulls the referee in the way to gain his bearings. He tags Swann with multiple strikes and then strings a pair of suplexes together. He drives Swann down with Vertigo for two. Swann ducks the Spirit Gun and spikes Ricochet on his head with a reverse Frankensteiner. Ricochet gives Swann right back, as well as a lariat and death valley driver. The Spirit Gun connects to give Ricochet the pin at 19:52. My Dragon Gate loving heart loved seeing these two in the ring together. It was a more “mature” version of what they would have done in 2011, adding more steak to the sizzle. Swann was trying to bring out “old” Ricochet, and was able to capitalize when he goaded that out of him, but it was Ricochet’s current finishers that did Swann in. There’s something poetic about that. Easy match of the night. ***¾

MLP Canadian Tag Team Championship
Gates of Agony (Toa Liona & Bishop Kaun) vs. The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson) vs. Bishop Dyer & Kaito Kiyomiya vs. Bryce Hansen & Sheldon Jean

Anderson of all people found himself at the mercy of all the other teams, finally gaining an opening when he avoided a corner splash from Liona, dropped Kaun with a Gun Stun, and Hansen with a neckbreaker. Gallows took out Hansen with a spear and a Jackhammer, but Jean jumped in to stop his pin attempt. Kiyomiya then had Kaun taken out with a Shining Wizard and Loa came to his partner’s aid. Loa impressively Samoan dropped Kiyomiya and fallaway slammed Gallows at the same time. Jean and Hansen dragged Liona out to the floor before he could take it further. Kaun lined them up on the floor for Liona to take out with a double clothesline. Dyer and Kiyomiya were looking for some tandem offense on Gallows, but Gallows reversed a whip and Kiyomiya accidentally forearmed Dyer. Anderon pump kicked Kiyomiya off of the apron, and then with Gallows put down Dyer with the Magic Killer for the pin and the titles at 14:54. This was a bit of a mess, and simply did not feel like a main event PPV match. To nobody’s surprise, the GoA and Good Brothers were the teams the fans most cared about. Dyer and Kiyomiya being put together was all to set up a break up and singles match the next night. In this match, they did not work well together at all, which I guess makes it good that they didn’t go on as a tandem for much longer. Jean and Hansen were perfectly fine and played their roles well, they just didn’t stand out amongst the teams with some starpower. Place this anywhere else on the card and I think it’s better received. **¾

For me this falls into the same realm as a Frontiers of Honor or Collision Course type of show, where outside of the title matches, it’s basically a non-canonical event. It was very easy to watch and well produced. If you follow the current ROH product, I’d check out the three title matches, and if you’re a fan of late 00s/early 10s Indie wrestling, Ricochet vs. Rich Swann is a good time.
