RING OF HONOR DELIVERS THRILLING PPV IN TRENTON

The Cure Insurance Arena in Trenton, New Jersey played host to Ring of Honor's latest pay-per-view extravaganza, and the promotion certainly left a lasting impression on the packed crowd of 2,898. From start to finish, the card was littered with scintillating matches, hard-hitting action, and more than a few surprises.

In the opening contest, Gravity emerged victorious over Komander in a singles match that saw both men give it their all. The bout lasted 10:05, with Gravity's cunning and agility ultimately proving to be the decisive factors.

Next up was a highly anticipated ROH World Television Title showdown between Samoa Joe and Dalton Castle. And boy, did these two deliver! The action was fast-paced and intense, with Joe ultimately securing the win in 14:12. This one had all the makings of a classic, folks.

The first four-way tag team match of the night saw Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) best Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta), The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett), and Lucha Brothers to retain their ROH World Tag Team Titles. This bout was a real barnburner, with all four teams giving it their absolute all.

The Mogul Embassy (Bishop Kaun, Brian Cage, and Toa Liona) then put on a dominant display en route to claiming the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Titles from Leon Ruffin and Six Or Nine (Master Wato and Ryusuke Taguchi). This match clocked in at 12:20 – a testament to the sheer endurance of these six men.

In one of the night's most anticipated matches, Katsuyori Shibata successfully defended his ROH Pure Title against Daniel Garcia. The action was stiff and brutal, with Shibata ultimately emerging victorious after 14:36.

Next up was an all-out brawl between The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds, Evil Uno, and John Silver) and Stu Grayson/The Righteous (Dutch and Vincent). This Fight Without Honor match saw the combatants leave it all on the line in a 15:42 contest that will be remembered for years to come.

In the night's main event, Claudio Castagnoli put an end to PAC's reign as ROH World Champion. The action was non-stop and thrilling, with Castagnoli ultimately securing the win after 18:36 of mayhem.

Finally, Athena capped off the night by defeating Willow Nightingale for the ROH Women's World Title in a match that clocked in at 20:31. This one was an absolute war, folks – two of the best female competitors in the business going toe-to-toe in a battle for supremacy.

And there you have it – another unforgettable night from Ring of Honor. If this is any indication of what's to come, then we're in for a treat in the months ahead.
