Ring of Honor returned to HonorClub on October 29 with an episode built around a crowded eight-man tag team main event, several notable singles matches and a handful of ongoing character developments. The show also opened its presentation with footage from AEW Dynamite involving ROH Champion Bandido and Swerve Strickland, placing the champion’s recent bloody confrontation firmly at the front of the episode.
The night’s biggest in-ring result saw Alec Price, Jordan Oliver and Top Flight’s Dante and Darius Martin defeat the combined quartet of Grizzled Young Veterans’ Zack Gibson and James Drake and The Kingdom’s Matt Taven and Mike Bennett. Sparta accompanied The Kingdom for the match. With four established teams and pairings represented across the bout, the result gives Price, Oliver and Top Flight a significant collective victory over an opposing side that included some of ROH’s most recognizable tag-team competitors.
Elsewhere, Scorpio Sky picked up a singles win over “Main Man” Oro, while “Blackheart” Lio Rush defeated Charles Crowley. Lacey Lane also scored a victory over Cassie Lee, though her night was followed by a message from The IInspiration indicating that Lane will have to deal with Steph De Lander. Los Colons and Serpentico were victorious in six-man tag action, and Brandon Cutler earned a win over Soleil.
Bandido and Swerve Strickland footage leads off the episode
ROH TV included footage of Swerve Strickland bloodying ROH Champion Bandido on AEW Dynamite. The segment ensured that Bandido’s status as ROH’s titleholder remained central even before the night’s matches began. It also reinforced the physical nature of the conflict involving Strickland and the champion.

No additional match announcement or title stipulation was specified during the results from this episode. Still, the decision to feature the Dynamite footage on ROH programming put direct focus on Bandido at a time when the champion has been involved in a highly physical issue. For ROH viewers, the footage connected the HonorClub show to a major development surrounding the promotion’s top championship.
Bandido did not have a listed match on the October 29 card. Rather than shifting away from the champion in his absence from competition, the show used the footage to keep attention on the consequences of what happened with Strickland. That approach made the ROH World Champion an important presence on the broadcast without requiring an in-ring appearance.
Price, Oliver and Top Flight prevail in the featured eight-man tag
The evening’s headline match brought together Alec Price, Jordan Oliver, Dante Martin and Darius Martin against Zack Gibson, James Drake, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett. The Kingdom entered alongside Sparta, while Gibson and Drake represented Grizzled Young Veterans. On the other side, Price and Oliver joined forces with the Top Flight brothers for the winning team.
Top Flight have long been associated with fast-paced tag team wrestling, while Price and Oliver added another pair of competitors to their side. Their opponents were equally well equipped on paper: Gibson and Drake have extensive experience as a unit, and Taven and Bennett brought The Kingdom’s established partnership into the contest. That made the match one of the episode’s most substantial team-based attractions.
In the end, Price, Oliver and Top Flight earned the victory. The result is especially meaningful because it came against a side featuring both Grizzled Young Veterans and The Kingdom rather than a collection of unfamiliar opponents. The winning quartet now has a clear result to point to following a contest that put several ROH tag-team names in one place.
The match also followed an earlier segment involving The Kingdom and Grizzled Young Veterans. The Kingdom explained their AI assistant to Gibson and Drake, adding an unusual element to the interactions between the two teams before they later shared the ring as allies in the main event. While they were able to join forces for the eight-man encounter, that combined effort did not produce a win.
Scorpio Sky and Lio Rush collect singles victories
Scorpio Sky defeated “Main Man” Oro in one of the show’s featured singles bouts. The win adds another positive result for Sky on an episode that presented a variety of established names throughout the card. Oro, identified on the broadcast as “Main Man,” came up short against Sky.
“Blackheart” Lio Rush also emerged victorious in singles competition, defeating Charles Crowley. Rush’s win gave the October 29 program another result for a competitor with a distinctive identity and a history of making an impact wherever he competes. Crowley was unable to slow Rush’s momentum on this occasion.
Both matches helped give the episode a strong singles-wrestling foundation alongside its larger tag attractions. ROH TV often offers a mix of division-specific matchups and multi-person bouts, and this card featured clear opportunities for Sky and Rush to stand out on their own. Each left the program with a victory, while Oro and Crowley were dealt losses in competitive action.
Lacey Lane wins as Steph De Lander issue emerges
Lacey Lane defeated Cassie Lee in women’s division action. Lane’s victory was followed by comments from The IInspiration, who stated that she will have to deal with Steph De Lander. The post-match development attached an immediate point of interest to Lane’s successful outing.
The IInspiration’s statement made clear that the situation involving Lane is not finished simply because she defeated Lee. Steph De Lander’s name was introduced as the next complication facing Lane, creating a new wrinkle after her result on the show. The episode did not list a match between Lane and De Lander, but the message established the possibility of further interaction.
For Lane, the win over Lee remains the concrete result of the night. At the same time, the involvement of The IInspiration and the mention of De Lander gives the division an additional thread to monitor. ROH’s women’s roster was therefore represented not only through a standalone match but also through a developing issue that extended beyond the final bell.
Los Colons and Serpentico win six-man contest
Los Colons and Serpentico teamed up to defeat Dante Casanova, Chad Skywalker and Saeed El Sabbah in six-man tag action. The match gave Los Colons and Serpentico a successful alliance, with the trio overcoming a three-man opposing team featuring Casanova, Skywalker and El Sabbah.
Six-man matches can change the rhythm of an episode by creating room for multiple wrestlers to make an impression at once. In this case, Los Colons and Serpentico made the most of that opportunity. Their victory added another team result to a card that also included the night’s major eight-man main event.
The result also showed the broad range of the October 29 lineup. From the ROH World Champion’s featured footage to singles matches, women’s division developments, six-man action and the closing eight-man bout, the episode covered several corners of the roster across its HonorClub presentation.
Brandon Cutler opens the in-ring results with a win
Brandon Cutler defeated Soleil in the first listed match result of the night. Cutler’s victory set the tone for an episode that steadily moved through a varied lineup before reaching its multi-team main event.
While the card’s later matches carried substantial implications through their participants and surrounding developments, Cutler’s win was an important early result in its own right. Soleil was unable to secure the victory, while Cutler left the broadcast having successfully handled his opponent.

The October 29 edition of ROH TV ultimately balanced results with ongoing stories. Bandido’s bloody confrontation with Swerve Strickland remained a major focal point through the featured footage, while the main event gave Price, Oliver and Top Flight a notable win over a formidable combined opposition. Lacey Lane’s victory came with the looming prospect of Steph De Lander, and The Kingdom’s earlier interaction with Grizzled Young Veterans took on added context after the two teams failed to win together in the closing contest.
With several winners established and multiple issues left open, the episode gave HonorClub viewers a clear set of developments to follow heading into the next edition of ROH TV.
