Ring Of Honor has released the following:

Ring of Honor returns to Columbus, OH just ONE WEEK after the record-breaking Supercard of Honor! And the two men that will be competing in the Ring of Honor World Championship match at Supercard will be in the Main Event of Masters of the Craft – and they are being joined by two of the biggest, baddest ROH stars in an event that will be streamed LIVE for all HonorClub members!

MAIN EVENT
DEFY OR DENY
ROH WORLD CHAMPION DALTON CASTLE W/THE BOYS VS. “THE VILLAIN” MARTY SCURLL VS. PUNISHMENT MARTINEZ VS. BEER CITY BRUISER

Either current ROH World Champion Dalton Castle or Marty Scurll will leave New Orleans ROH World Champion and, with no ROH World Championship defense currently scheduled to take place at Steel City Excellence, it is all but guaranteed one of these men will be the champion when ROH returns to Columbus for Masters of the Craft!

Both of the two men that may emerge as World Champion will compete in the main event of Masters of the Craft, streaming live for HonorClub in just the third-ever Defy or Deny match! In this elimination match, if the World Champion wins, whomever is last eliminated cannot challenge for the World Championship as long as that person is still the champion. Should one of the three competitors who are not the champion win, they receive a future ROH World Championship shot!

With Castle and Scurll’s fate being decided one week before, the focus turns to the two largest men in the match! Punishment Martinez enters the main event with bad blood still brewing with “The Villain” Marty Scurll stemming from their hard-fought battle at 16th Anniversary! Martinez may look to target “The Villain” out of the gate but Scurll, Martinez, and Castle will also have to have their head on a swivel for The Beer City Bruiser! Bruiser is entered into this bout based on his impressive showing in his late entry into the ROH World Championship match at Honor Rising and has proved he can rise to the occasion in singles action!
With either Castle or Scurll entering as World Champion, each man has an opportunity to permanently cross the other, or Martinez or Bruiser, off of their list of potential contenders while Bruiser and Martinez have a chance to earn themselves a ROH World Championship opportunity! Who will win in this rare Defy or Deny main event? Join us to find out!

There is nothing like the fast-paced, in-your-face action of Ring of Honor LIVE! ROH returns to ExpressLive! for an event to be broadcast LIVE for HonorClub and tickets are moving fast! With previous ROH events in Columbus selling out and ROH tickets hotter than ever, don’t get locked out and get your tickets NOW!

If you can’t be there live, join us as Masters of the Craft will be streamed LIVE for HonorClub!

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
Rush: 0-1, 0 points
Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

Here are your Blue League standings!

Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
