Ring of Honor returned to HonorClub on October 8, 2026, with an episode that placed a broad cross-section of its roster in action. The show featured eight announced results, including singles matches for HOOK, Jordan Oliver, Adam Priest, Hyan and Mark Davis, alongside a women’s tag team contest and a six-man tag bout involving MxM Collection and Johnny TV.

Vance addressed his situation with Jon Silver, saying that he wanted Silver’s approval and forgiveness. Elsewhere, Aaron Solo, Nick Comoroto and Griff Garrison discussed a plan centered on adopting the moves of Hangman, Bandido and Brody King before their match later in the broadcast.

HOOK Opens the Night With a Victory
HOOK was among the featured winners on the October 8 edition of ROH TV, defeating Serpentico in singles competition. The result continues to put the spotlight on HOOK as an important presence on Ring of Honor programming, while Serpentico was unable to turn the matchup in his favor.
Serpentico has long been a familiar figure across ROH-related programming and remains a dangerous opponent capable of disrupting any match with his unconventional style. On this night, however, HOOK earned the decision and added another win to the episode’s list of singles results.

The match also helped establish the show’s format: a packed card with several distinct roster groups receiving time, rather than one single match dominating the entire episode. That approach carried through the remainder of the broadcast as established names, newer faces and regular HonorClub competitors all entered the ring.
Jordan Oliver Defeats Rocky Romero
Jordan Oliver scored a win over Rocky Romero in another singles contest. Romero brought extensive experience to the match, having competed across multiple eras and promotions, but Oliver emerged with the result on this occasion.
For Oliver, a victory over a veteran such as Romero is a meaningful entry in the ROH TV results column. Romero’s role in the match gave Oliver the opportunity to face someone with a deep background in tag team and singles competition, and Oliver capitalized by getting the win.
The result did not include any announced stipulation or additional post-match development. Still, the outcome stands as a positive night for Oliver, while Romero will look to rebound in future appearances.
VertVixen and Viva Van Win Women’s Tag Team Match
The women’s division was represented in tag team action as VertVixen teamed with Viva Van against Tiara James and Kelsey Raegan. VertVixen and Van came away with the victory.
The contest gave all four wrestlers a chance to compete on HonorClub, with the winning tandem successfully combining their efforts against James and Raegan. In a division where momentum can be built one result at a time, VertVixen and Viva Van left the episode with the advantage.
No further challenge or program was announced in conjunction with the result. The victory nevertheless gives VertVixen and Van a successful shared outing on a show that included several multi-person bouts alongside the singles matches.
Adam Priest Gets Past Alex Zayne
Adam Priest defeated Alex Zayne in singles action. Zayne’s creativity and pace have made him a distinctive competitor, but Priest secured the win on October 8.
Priest’s victory was one of multiple results on the card involving wrestlers looking to establish themselves more prominently on ROH television. The matchup also added stylistic variety to the broadcast, positioning two competitors with different approaches against one another without a reported championship stipulation attached.
While there was no additional angle listed following the bout, the final result was clear: Adam Priest defeated Alex Zayne. In a deep ROH roster environment, victories such as this can be significant as competitors seek more opportunities and a stronger foothold on weekly programming.
Preston Vance Addresses Jon Silver Situation
Outside of the matches, Caprice Coleman spoke with Preston Vance. During the segment, Vance said he wants Jon Silver’s approval and forgiveness.
The exchange adds a personal element to the situation between Vance and Silver. Vance’s comments made it clear that his focus is not simply on competition; he is seeking a response from Silver and hopes to repair the issue between them.
“He wants Jon Silver’s approval and forgiveness.”
There was no resolution to the matter on this episode. The statement leaves an open question about whether Silver will be willing to offer the approval and forgiveness Vance is seeking, or whether the tension will continue to develop on ROH programming.
Segments like this can provide necessary context for future matches and interactions, especially when the central point is a relationship between two wrestlers rather than a title pursuit. For now, Vance has publicly stated where he stands, and attention shifts to Silver’s eventual response.
MxM Collection and Johnny TV Take Six-Man Win
MxM Collection, consisting of Mason Madden and Mansoor, joined Johnny TV for six-man tag team competition against Aaron Solo, Nick Comoroto and Griff Garrison. Madden, Mansoor and Johnny TV earned the victory.
Before the match, Solo, Comoroto and Garrison said they needed to start doing the moves of Hangman, Bandido and Brody King. The trio’s comments set up their appearance together, but their plan did not lead to a win against the combination of MxM Collection and Johnny TV.
Mason Madden and Mansoor have brought their own presentation to ROH, and the addition of Johnny TV gave their side another experienced and recognizable partner. Across the ring, Solo, Comoroto and Garrison presented a physically varied trio. The final result favored MxM Collection and Johnny TV, giving that side an important six-man victory.
The mention of Hangman, Bandido and Brody King was specific to Solo, Comoroto and Garrison’s pre-match discussion. No indication was given that any of those three wrestlers were involved in the bout itself. The night’s official outcome remains MxM Collection and Johnny TV over Solo, Comoroto and Garrison.
Hyan Defeats Billie Starkz; Athena Reacts
Hyan defeated Billie Starkz in one of the episode’s most notable women’s singles results. Starkz has been closely associated with Athena, and Athena responded to Hyan’s win by saying that perhaps Hyan should have been “MIT.”
Athena’s remark connected the result to the ongoing dynamic surrounding Starkz. Hyan’s victory over Starkz gave Athena reason to comment, and the statement added an extra layer to a match that otherwise stood as a straightforward singles result.
Athena said, “Maybe Hyan should’ve been MIT.”
The episode did not provide a further explanation or immediate follow-up to Athena’s statement. Even so, Hyan now has a clear win over Starkz, while Athena’s reaction ensures that the result carries implications beyond the match itself.
For Hyan, defeating Billie Starkz is a valuable accomplishment on ROH TV. For Starkz, the loss and Athena’s response leave her position within that wider relationship under additional scrutiny moving forward.
Mark Davis Defeats Ortiz in Featured Singles Action
Mark Davis closed out the listed match results with a victory over Ortiz. The two powerful competitors met in a singles match, and Davis came away with the win.
Davis has been a formidable competitor in tag team and singles settings, while Ortiz brought his own reputation as a hard-hitting, battle-tested opponent. Their meeting represented a substantial clash on paper, and Davis emerged as the winner.
The result gives Davis momentum coming out of the October 8 show. Ortiz, meanwhile, was unable to secure the victory despite entering a matchup against a highly regarded opponent. No additional development, championship issue or post-match confrontation was announced alongside the result.
Full Night Reflects ROH’s Roster Depth
The October 8 edition of ROH TV delivered a varied HonorClub lineup with seven matches and several stories progressing through brief segments and reactions. HOOK, Jordan Oliver, VertVixen and Viva Van, Adam Priest, MxM Collection and Johnny TV, Hyan and Mark Davis all left the program with wins.
Among the episode’s biggest unresolved points are Preston Vance’s attempt to gain Jon Silver’s approval and forgiveness, as well as Athena’s pointed response following Hyan’s win over Billie Starkz. Those moments added character-driven stakes to a card built primarily around match results.
With victories distributed across the roster, the show created room for several competitors to build momentum at once. The next ROH TV episode will determine which of these wins lead to larger programs, but October 8 provided a clear set of successful performances and left a pair of interpersonal situations open for further development.
