Texas Bullrope Match for the ROH Tag Team Championships: Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara) (c) vs. The Righteous (Vincent & Dutch)

The Ring of Honor Tag Team Championships will be contested in a grueling Texas Bullrope Match, pitting reigning champions The Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara) against the enigmatic Vincent and Dutch of The Righteous. This stipulation, rooted in the rugged Texas wrestling tradition, requires the teams to be connected by bullropes, forcing close-quarters combat and giving focus on brutality over finesse. The match is expected to deliver hard-hitting action, blood, and drama, so fans can look forward to some greatness during the bout.

Ring of Honor Women’s World Television Championship: Red Velvet (c) vs. Leyla Hirsch

Red Velvet puts her Women’s World Television Championship on the line against the technically skilled Leyla Hirsch.

ROH Pure Championship Open Challenge: Lee Moriarty (c) vs. TBA

Lee Moriarty, the reigning Pure Champion, continues to elevate the division with his open challenge at Final Battle.

Ring of Honor World Championship: Chris Jericho (c) vs Matt Cardona

Chris Jericho’s reign as Ring of Honor World Champion faces a unique test as he takes on Matt Cardona in the iconic Hammerstein Ballroom.
