Overview
The American professional wrestling promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) promotes several professional wrestling championships for its men's and women's divisions. ROH often broadcasts championship matches on their weekly television programs, Honor Club, while also being featured on All Elite Wrestling (AEW) regularly. Major championship defenses also occur at the promotion's periodic pay-per-view events.
Men
At the top of ROH's championship hierarchy for male wrestlers is the ROH World Championship. It is held by first time champion Mark Briscoe, who defeated Eddie Kingston at Supercard of Honor on April 5, 2023.
The secondary title for male wrestlers is the ROH World Television Championship, which is currently held by first time champion Atlantis Jr., who defeated Kyle Fletcher on June 28, 2024 at CMLL Super Viernes to win the title.
The ROH Pure Championship is a specialty championship, featuring matches being conducted under "Pure Wrestling Rules". [2] It is held by record three-time champion Wheeler Yuta, who defeated Katsuyori Shibata at Rampage on November 25, 2023.
The ROH World Tag Team Championship is ROH's traditional tag team title, being contested by teams of two wrestlers. The current champions are The Undisputed Kingdom ( Mike Bennett and Matt Taven), who are in their third reign, both individually and as a team. Wrestling as The Devil's Masked Men, they defeated MJF (defending the titles on behalf of himself and injured partner Adam Cole) in a handicap match on December 27, 2023 at Dynamite: New Year's Smash. They would eventually reveal their identities three nights later at AEW World's End.
The ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship is a title contested by teams of three wrestlers (also referred to as trios), and are jointly held and defended alongside the AEW World Trios Championship under the Unified World Trios Championship banner. The titles are currently vacant, after previous champions The Bang Bang Gang ( Jay White, Austin Gunn, and Colten Gunn) were stripped of the titles due to a (storyline) injury to White and being denied their request to have stablemate Juice Robinson defend the titles under the Freebird Rule.
Women
ROH has two championships for its women's division. The primary title is the ROH Women's World Championship, which is held by first-time champion Athena, who defeated Mercedes Martinez at Final Battle on December 10, 2022. [3]
The secondary title for the women's division is the ROH Women's World Television Championship. Billie Starkz is the inaugural and current champion, defeating Queen Aminata in the finals of 16-woman tournament to become the first title holder on April 5, 2024 at Supercard of Honor.
