🎙 Wrestling.news | Backstage Take
After a chaotic year of reschedules and cross-promotional storytelling, Death Before Dishonor 2025 lands not just as a show, but as a statement. From Bandido’s high-stakes defense to the dramatic dual-title load carried by Sammy Guevara, ROH is leaning into unpredictability. Athena vs. Mina adds emotional stakes to the women’s division, while the Pure title battle and Zero Hour undercard promise technical fireworks.
The Sussex of the Fight Without Honor—and how exactly Paul Walter Hauser will fare against QT Marshall’s viciousness—adds Hollywood drama to ROH’s blue-collar grit. This isn’t just a PPV; it’s a rebirth for Ring of Honor’s identity heading into its next phase.
