SICKOS (Of Honor)! Tonight is the night, for we have not just a card of Honor, no, but a SUPERCARD of Honor! The company’s annual event that usually partakes during the weekend of WrestleMania, this year SuperCard of Honor is taking place as the lead-in to AEW’s biggest show of the year, All-In. But make no mistake, this card will not be short of any good potential to deliver a great show tonight!

The ROH World Title will be on the line, as Bandido will defend against Konosuke Takeshita. The Tag Team Titles will be on the line, as the Sons of Texas (sure to be a hit down in the Lonestar State tonight) will defend against Bad News and Tattoos. The ROH Women’s title is on the line, as the Forever Champion Athena will defend the title against Thunder Rosa, another Texas showdown. The Pure Title will be defended, as Lee Moriarty will defend it against Blue Panther from CMLL. Nick Wayne will defend the TV Title against Titan from CMLL. Due to the injury suffered by the Women’s TV Champion Red Velvet, we will have an international 4-way match to crown an interim champion, as Miyu Yamashita, Yuka Sakazaki, Persephone, and MINA will do battle. Hechichero will face Michael Oku in an international exhibition, and we also have a 50,000 dollar 4-way match, as Adam Priest, AR Fox, Atlantis Jr, and Lee Johnson will do battle to add to their bank accounts.

So, it’s time to do this…WITH HONOR!
