Ring of Honor TV live results: Rhino teams with Hologram

For the first time since 2014, Rhino will return to Ring of Honor on tonight’s ROH on HonorClub.

The former multi-promotion star and past SCUM member will team with the undefeated Hologram to take on The Frat House’s Griff Garrison & Cole Karter.

CMLL’s La Catalina returns to battle Trish Adora.

In two separate big man matches, Lance Archer and Satnam Singh will be in action.

**********

…But not against each other, which let’s be honest, is what we’d all like to see.

Ring of Honor is back in it’s Thursday Night time slot and ready to rock and/or roll!

La Catalina defeated Trish Adora (w/Carlie Bravo & Shawn Dean)

Catalina has “Future Star” written all over her. She has been racking up wins in CMLL and all over Mexico, as well as some ROH heavy hitters like Taya Valkyrie. Adora has been doing her best to adopt the Shane Taylor Promotions methodology like Dean & Bravo have done and it’s paying off in spades with wins over Rachael Ellering (twice!) and Harley Cameron, sans-puppet.

Adora definitely had the bruiser advantage, but Catalina brought luchadore speed to the match. Adora tried to power over Catalina off the top, but Catalina actually remained in control, keeping the match to her chosen pace.

Catalina showed off her hard-hitting skills as well with some really stiff dropkicks on Adora. Adora easily won the posing game though, taking many opportunities to work the crowd as she focused on Catalina’s arm.

Catalina turned the tables though with a really devastating high knee out of the corner. Catalina then went for a modified facebuster with a certain pedigree, but Adora kicked out at two. Things slowed down considerably here which gave Adora more chances to hit big moves, but she couldn’t put Catalina away.

Catalina hit an electric chair on Adora then climbed up for a big frog splash. That was it for Adora as Catalina pinned her and got the win. After the match, Adora showed respect and shook hands with Catalina.

Match Result: La Catalina defeated Trish Adora

-Taya Valkyrie joined us from the back to let us know that the impending Women’s Pure Tournament is a casting call and she’s the main character. She said that she was the headline, not the conversation.

Lance Archer defeated Diego Hill

Hey, here’s a question: Why do members of the Callis Family not have to change their last name to Callis? Just wondering. Anyway, the Murderhawk Monster, Lance Archer returns to ROH by himself for the first time since beating up Crowbar last month. This time, he was looking to beat up Diego Hill who… has neat pants, I guess?

Archer got caught with a kick off the top and started bleeding, leading him to quote the classic movie Dodgeball and exclaim “nobody makes me bleed my own blood!” That was about the end of Hill’s offense as one can probably imagine.

The talkative Archer proclaimed “you done messed up now” as he pummeled HIll, actually attempting to bend him in half in some kind of reverse crab hold. Hill tapped out and Archer didn’t even wait for the music to stop before hitting him with a Blackout for good measure.

Match Result: Lance Archer defeated Diego Hill

-Next a vingette aired announcing the return next week of ROH’s Forever Champ, Women’s World Champion Athena.

ROH Pure Title Match: Lee Moriarty (c) (w/Shawn Dean) defeated Matt Mako

Up next was a surprise ROH Pure Title Match between Matt Mako and ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty. This match was from ACTION DEAN~!!!2, an event in honor of Dean Rasmussen, who passed away in 2023. The match took place on May 24th, 2025 as part of the ACTION/ROH Youtube special.

The match started off a little strange for Moriarty, who was forced to use two of his rope breaks within the first 1:44 of the match. He also went for the Border City stretch very early, forcing Mako to use his first rope break at 2:32.

Mako clearly studied Moriarty and seemed to have everything scouted pretty well. he was able to reverse or deflect most of what Moriarty threw at him, but used up his second rope break at 3:25.

The only rough part of the match was that it took place outside at night in Waterdance Plaza in Glendale, Arizona. It looked like kind of a Times Square type place, but the only outdoor lighting was from big LED signs. So it was hard to see the match at times as the ring was flooded with red and blue lights every few minutes.

As the match passed its halfway mark, it was a pretty even affair. Mako changed tactics and tried to over power Moriarty with some big strikes and spinning kicks. Moriarty held on though luring Mako into the corner and dropping him on his face. A second Border City Stretch (complete with hand stomps) forced Mako to use his last rope break at 7:14.

Mako locked in an armbar at 8:44 causing Moriarty to use up the last rope break of the match. With time ticking away, Mako tried to put Moriarty down with a quick rollup into a rear choke, but Moriarty locked in a third Border City Stretch that Mako had to tap out of because he was out of rope breaks.

Killer match though!!

Torneo Cibernetico Ten Man Elimination Match: Blue Panther, Hologram, Neon, Valiente & Virus defeat Averno, Dr. Cerebro, Euforia, Volador Jr. & Xelhua

Up next was more surprise action from ACTION DEAN~!!!2: a Toreno Cibernetico match! What’s that you ask? No idea. But that’s what Wikipedia is for!

“The match format sees two teams of varying sizes face off against each other. It uses standard lucha libre tag team rules with elimination occurring with a pinfall, submission, disqualification and count out and allows a wrestler to enter the match when their tag team partner exits the ring as well as when they tag out. A special ‘batting’ order system is used in which the wrestlers are given a specific order and may only tag in and out in this order.“

So there you go. I had no idea what to expect in this match, but I like Luchadores and I like a lot of them, so I was excited to see how this played out.

For the first ten minutes or so, it was pure luchadore madness. In spite of the allegedly organized manner of the match and the aforementioned lighting issues, it was very, very hard for anyone watching, including the commentary team, to keep track of who was in the ring against who. They were great about calling out eliminations though, so I kept up as best I could.

Virus survived Blue Panther, Dr Cerebro and managed to eliminate Xelhua (via tapout) before being eliminated himself by Euforia. Volodor Jr entered after that and the tags started flying. Hologram entered to a big ovation and showed why he’s a star against Averno before a huge brawl broke out.

Volador Jr. managed to eliminate Valiente via backbreaker into pinfall before Hologram & Neon jumped in and teamed up to eliminate Euforia after dueling top rope stomps and moonsaults, bringing the match down to 3-on-3.

Next, Blue Panther eliminated Dr. Cerebro with a move that seemed to even surprise him, but that brought in Neon who battled Averno, but found himself eliminated after Averno hit a big facebuster from the top rope.

That left Blue Panther & Hologram against Averno & Volador Jr. They hit a superplex on Panther from the top rope, but Hologram broke up the double pin attempt. Panter returned the favor a few minutes later, saving Hologram.

Panther and Hologram then double eliminated Volador Jr and Averno. Panther eliminating Averno with the move he used earlier to eliminate Dr Cerebro and Hologram used a spinning blue thunder bomb to pin Volador Jr.

Match Result: Blue Panther, Hologram, Neon, Valiente & Virus defeated Averno, Dr. Cerebro, Euforia, Volador Jr. & Xelhua

Wow., Just incredible, but I have to say, after this match I have new appreciation for those “RAW” and “SMACKDOWN” t-shirts that teams wore in Survivor Series a few years back. It was really hard to tell who was who on what team, but damn, was it fun to watch. Definitely check it out on Youtube if can!

Satnam Singh defeated Facade

Back in the ROH arena, and because a Lance Archer squash just wasn’t enough beating up of a little guy by a big guy, Satnam Singh was up next. What can be said about Singh that hasn’t already been said? He’s huge. He was one half of the AAA World Tag Team Champions with the one and only Raj Dhesi (fka WWE Champion Jinder Mahal). He’s going to probably murder Facade. That’s all you need to know, really. 

Singh threw Facade around and pie faced him in the corner for a bit before chopping him hard enough that the first row felt it. He did that a few more times before throwing him across the ring, literally. From post to post.

Facade managed to get a quick chinbreaker on Singh, who simply shrugged it off and threw Facade at the ground a few times until he stopped moving. Singh made the pin and that was it.

Singh is very fun to watch, but like a lot of big men he needs someone to feud with that can bring something different out of him.

Match Result: Satnam Singh defeated Facade

Hologram & Rhino defeated The Frat House (Cole Karter & Griff Garrison) (w/Jacked Jameson & Preston Vance)

The mysterious and enigmatic Hologram made his second appearance on the show, which was his ROH debut with this match. Try not to think about that too much.

Hologram has taken on stalwarts like Blake Christian and Max Castor up in AEW and even had a win over the dreaded Beast Mortos. His partner needs no introduction. He’s Rhino. If you don’t know of any of Rhino’s myriad of accomplishments in pro wrestling, stop now and do some Googling. Their opponents are local jerkbags, The Frat House. As always, it will be a pleasure watching these guys get punched in their various mouths.

Garrison started things off against Hologram which was really fun as they both have similar fast-moving styles. Hologram got the better of Garrison until he got caught in a headlock. Garrison couldn’t hang onto Hologram long though as Hologram put on a show.

Garrison tagged in Karter who waited until Hologram’s back was turned to jump him. Hologram tagged in Rhino though to a massive ovation. Rhino did was Rhino does which is scrunch up his face and beat the ever-loving heck out of whoever is in front of him. In this case, Karter.

Vance and Jameson saved Karter from a Gore by pulling him outside and giving him a chance to regroup. Garrison tried to help but ate a superkick from Hologram. Jameson tried to cause a distraction, which allowed Vance to pull Hologram out and deliver a few stiff shots before sending him back in.

The dust settled and Karter and Hologram were the legal men. Hologram ran into Karter’s high knee, but hit a Spanish Fly to retaliate. Hot tags were made and Rhino and Garrison charged in, with Garrison eating a big belly-to-belly suplex.

Hologram dove out of the ring and got a 3-for-1, taking out Vance, Jameson and Karter. In the ring, Garrison tried to use the pledge paddle on Rhino, but left himself open for a Gore straight from this history books. Rhino made the pin, and the Frat house was defeated.

Match Result: Hologram & Rhino defeat The Frat House (Cole Karter & Griff Garrison)

Great episode!!
