ROH World Champion Bandido & Jay Lethal vs. The Swirl (Blake Christian & Lee Johnson)

Christian has been doing his best to be an annoying brat to both Bandido and Lethal recently, so this match has some fuel to it. Johnson was also there.

Christian vs Lethal started the match, but the crowd wanted Bandido. Lethal tagged him in, but Christian then tagged out, playing the mind games. Johnson and Bandido tangled for a few seconds, before Christian got pulled back into it. When the dust settled Johnson and Bandido were legal.

Johnson got the upper hand until Bandido blocked a suplex. Johnson did the same ont he counter and the two broke of and ran the ropes, colliding in the center. On the outside, Christian tried to distract Lethal.

Christian tagged back in and he and Bandidio traded holds with Christian getting the better of the champ in the corner. Christian cut off the hot tag and when Lethal did get a tag, the ref didnt see it. In the confusion, Johnson and Christian hammered Bandido in the corner.

Bandido fought back and went for a hot tag to Lethal who… stepped away? Lethal refused Bandido’s tag and that allowed Christian to get the drop on Bandido. He and Johnson went for a double team, but Bandido was fired up and fought them both.

Match Result: Bandido & Jay Lethal vs. The Swirl went to a no contest

Lethal slipped into the ring and hit a Lethal Injection on Bandido and then the Swirl stomped him. All three beat on Bandido until Christian grabbed the ROH World Title Belt. Lethal ripped off Bandido’s mask and just then Adam Priest and Tom Billington hit the ring to make the save.

The newly established trio of Jay Lethal, Blake Christian and Lee Johnson (Im leaning hard towards “Lethal Swirl”) walked up the ramp.

Bryan Keith vs Serpentico

There was something poetic about this Snake-vs-Cowboy match.

The match began with some confirmation from the audience that they were going to “boo” Keith and “Yay” Serpentico. Then Keith knocked Serpentico down and they started wrestling. Serpentico seemed to have the speed advantage put to good use, running circles around Keith.

Keith threw a shoulder into Serpentico’s chin, knocking him out of the ring. Keith followed and Serpentico met him with some chops. Keith went right to the eyes and threw Serpentico at the stairs by the face.

Back in the ring, Serpentico and Keith traded shots until Keith got a knee into Serpentico’s stomach. They traded suplex blocks back and forth until Serpentico landed one, throwing Keith into the corner. Serpentico kept the match pace going with a series of kicks and a hurricanrana. Serpentico went for a cover but only got a two count.

Serpentico went up top but Keith rolled out of the way. Serpentico countered and exploder, but couldn’t counter the whipping lariat Keith hit him with next. Keith pointed to the sky and went to finish off Serpentico, but he took too long and Serpentico hit him with a crescent kick.

Keith put a knee to his face and then threw him down in a tiger driver to get the pin and the victory.

Match Result: Bryan Keith defeated Serpentico

Six Man Tag Team Fight Without Honor: Dalton Castle & The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) vs MxMxTV (Johnny TV, Mansoor & Mason Madden) (w/Taya Valkyrie)

The first Ring of Honor Main Event of 2026 had it all. Boys. Tassels. Shades. Packages. As well as a distinct lack of honor. For those not in the know, a “Fight Without Honor” in Ring of Honor is a no countout, no dq, anything goes match.

This one proved that when MxMxTV showed up dressed like Grinches and destroyed the ROH Christmas Tree set. That brought Castle and the Outrunners up the ramp to beat up the Grinches and rest the tree like the flag at Iwo Jima.

In the fracas, Mansoor and Madden made it to the ring and were beating up on Magnum. Taya Valkyrie and Johnny TV ate and Onion and made out with the peices in their mouths. TV then grabbed some tubes of wrapping paper and beat up all Castle’s Boys with them. Castle got mad about that and started throwing oversized Christmas balls at TV and MxM.

Castle brought one down to the ring and used it to knock TV around and out of the ring. The Outrunners joined him there and beat up TV on the outside.

Mansoor and Floyd entered the ring, each holding a present. Mansoor offered his to Floyd, and Floyd punched him in the face through it. Mansoor then got up and Floyd offered him his present. Mansoor tried to punch through it, but no! It contained a brick.

Madon Madden came to the ring with the tree and Floyd wrestled it away from him. He put the tree on his shoulders and gave it and airplane spin, knocking Mason and Madden out. The ramp was littered with boys, Outrunners, MXMs and more.

MxM mocked the Outrunners by doing a “Son of a Grinch” elbow on Castle. They hailed him up and TV went to smash a cake in his face but he ducked and Valkyrie caught the backed good face first.

The Outrunners hit total recall on Mansoor, but Madden grabbed Floyd and hit a sky high chokeslam. Madden went under the ring and pulled out a stocking. He got back in the ring and emptied the stocking of it’s contents: Lego.

Madden and the Outrunners blocked suplexes from each other until Madden ended up in the corner. The Outrunners took his boots off and hit an atomic drop, driving Madden’s bare feet onto the Lego.

Magnum hit Madden in the head with a present and he fell backwards on the legos. One “Son-of-a-bitch” elbow later and Magnum screamed “let’s get the tables!”

Two tables were tossed into the ring and set up over top of the Lego (I think it was a Star wars set). TV Slid in and hita low blow on Floyd and sent Magnum out. TV and Mansoor laid Floyd out on one table in the ring. TV laid out Magnum on one on the outside.

Mansoor went up top and TV joined him there. They went for a dual leap but Castle appeared and Low blowed them both! He sent TV through the table on the outside and the OutRunners suplexed Madden through the table in the ring. They pinned him and got the incredible and ridiculous win.

Match Result: Dalton Castle & The Outrunners defeated MxMxTV
