Thoughts & Predictions

Coming up tonight, live on Honor Club, from the ECW Arena, is the Ring of Honor event. Only six matches have been announced, but I’m sure there will be at least a dozen before the smoke is settled. But I can only make predictions for what I have listed before me, right? So, are you ready? Let’s do this.

ROH World Championship
Bandido (c) vs. Hechicero.

Bandido is still the champion? I had forgotten about that. Isn’t Hechicero a member of the Don Callis Family? It doesn’t matter. Bandido is one of the golden children of Tony Khan. I expect his tag partner, Brody King, will be there to prevent any outside interference. Look for Bandido to retain the title.

Winner and STILL ROH Champion: Bandido.

ROH Women’s World Championship
Athena (c) vs. Mina Shirakawa.

Athena has been the champion for nearly three years. She’s not losing here.

Winner and STILL ROH Women’s Champion: Athena.

Pure Wrestling Rules: ROH Pure Championship
Lee Moriarty (c) vs. Xelhua.

What is an Xelhua? Moriarity retains the gold.

Winner and STILL ROH Pure Champion: Lee Moriarty.

Fight Without Honor
Paul Walter Hauser vs. Q. T. Marshall.

QT Marshall is so underrated, but he thrives on being the bad guy and putting others over. And the guy from Hollywood isn’t losing.

Winner: Paul Walter Hauser.

ROH World Tag Team Championship
Sammy Guevara and TBA (c) vs. The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum).

Sammy gets the option here to pick a partner to face The Outrunners. Logic says it will be one of the Von Erichs, but what if he chooses someone else? Sammy has plenty of friends in AEW to choose from, but how would that affect his relationship with Marshall and Ross if he picks someone else? That sounds like a potential storyline. Look for Sammy to pick a new partner, maybe Griff Garrison or Daniel Garcia. And it won’t work. The Outrunners are winning some gold.

Winner and NEW ROH World Tag Team Champions: The Outrunners.

ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship
The Sons of Texas (Marshall Von Erich, Ross Von Erich, and Sammy Guevara) (c) vs. Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, Carlie Bravo, and Capt. Shawn Dean).

The SOT will tease tension, and there might be a few missed signals during the match, but there won’t be any surprises here. Shane Taylor Promotions might be a staple of ROH, but they’re not winning the titles.

Winners and STILL ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions: The Sons of Texas (Marshall Von Erich, Ross Von Erich, and Sammy Guevara).
