Supercard of Honor (2024)

In the main event, Mark Briscoe defeated Eddie Kingston to win the ROH World Championship.

In other prominent matches, Athena defeated Hikaru Shida to retain the ROH Women’s World Championship.

The shows are sometimes two-day events, traditionally taking place on Friday nights and/or Saturday afternoons, and are held either in or nearby the same city as that year's WrestleMania.

In February, 2024, it was announced that Supercard of Honor would take place on April 5 on the campus of Temple University, at Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

[1] The event featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines.

[2][3][4] The tournament, which had sixteen participants, began on the February 22, 2024 episode, with the finals eventually set for Supercard of Honor.

On the March 21 episode, Billie Starkz and Queen Aminata defeated Mercedes Martinez and Red Velvet, respectively, in the semifinals.

[5] At Death Before Dishonor the previous July, Mark Briscoe was set to challenge for the ROH World Championship against then-champion Claudio Castagnoli, but had to undergo knee surgery and was unable to compete.

[10] From there, she would be confronted by former AEW Women's World Champion Hikaru Shida, with it later being confirmed she will challenge Athena at Supercard of Honor.

[14] On the December 27, 2023 episode of AEW Dynamite, The Devil's Masked Men won the ROH World Tag Team Championship.

Despite The Infantry not beating the champions, Proving Ground matches also grant challengers title opportunities if they go to a draw with them.

Thus, The Infantry will challenge the Undisputed Kingdom for the ROH World Tag Team Championship at Supercard of Honor.

Next, Griff Garrison and Cole Karter (accompanied by Maria) took on Spanish Announce Project (Angélico and Serpentico).

Garrison then grabbed Serpentico's mask from his face, allowing Karter to perform a roll-up pin on him to win the match.

In the opening contest, Kyle Fletcher defended the ROH World Television Championship against Lee Johnson.

Fletcher then performed a lawn dart, a running corner leg lariat and a turnbuckle brainbuster to win the match.

Shirakawa then performed an electric chair/facebuster combination and then locked in the Figure Four leglock on Seira, but AZM broke up the submission attempt with a double stomp.

In the next match, The Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) defended the ROH World Tag Team Championship against The Infantry (Carlie Bravo and Capt.

In the opening stages, Dean performed a tope con gilo to Taven and Bennett over the top rope.

Fellow Undisputed Kingdom member Wardlow then came out through the guardrail and delivered a lariat to Dean behind the referee's back.

Aminata attempted an Air Raid Crash, but Starkz escaped and delivered a back elbow, a backbreaker and a uranage for a two-count.

The Boys then carried Taya away, allowing Castle to deliver the Bang-a-Rang on Johnny onto a pile of thumbtacks and then pin him to win the match.

Kingston then delivered a spinning backfist, but Mark responded with a redneck kung-fu uppercut and a flying elbow drop.

Mark attempted a Jay Driller, but Eddie escaped and delivered a half-and-half suplex and a spinning backfist for a two-count.

Eddie attempted a Northern Lights Bomb, but Mark escaped and performed a Cut Throat Driver for a nearfall.

[16] Coby Galenzoski of Wrestling Republic gave the overall show a 4 out of 5 stars, saying "ROH Supercard Of Honor 2024 is a mixed bag event.

[17] Doc-Chris Mueller of Bleacher Report graded the show a B+, saying "This year's Supercard of Honor felt like a bit of a reset after an uncertain time for the brand.

For several months, ROH has been struggling to maintain interest outside of a few key storylines, but this show saw a couple of new champions crowned who could help change that.

Starkz becoming the first women's TV champion was a great moment for the 19-year-old, but the biggest highlight was seeing Briscoe achieve his dream of winning the same world title is brother Jay once held.

As far as in-ring quality goes, Athena and Shida stole the show, but several above-average matches helped make this a fun PPV.
