Three solid matches and more fuel added to the Roderick Strong/Jay Lethal feud made for a decent episode of Ring of Honor.
Check out this week’s Ring of Honor Power Rankings to see what other surprises this past week’s episode had in store for their rabid fanbase.
Honorable Mention: Will Ferrara: A win is a win, especially against someone like Silas Young. Although a pawn in Young’s brewing war with Dalton Castle, the upstart got the surprise win against the last “Real Man†in pro wrestling.
5: Matt Sydal: His win over Adam Page proves he’s still a big time player in Ring of Honor, but his inability to hold his own against The Decade proves that he’s going to need some help from more than ACH in order to get ahead.
4: The Decade: Adam Page is tough enough on his own, but add in Colby Corino and BJ Whitmer and well, it’s easy to see that any mid-carder is going to have an issue coming out victorious.
3: Mark Briscoe: ODB and his brother Jay were around to help lend him some support against Jay Lethal, but Briscoe couldn’t get the win for the TV Title this week. One of the best Tag Team performers in ROH history, Briscoe needs to reboot if he’s going to be a dominating singles performer.
2: Roderick Strong: He’s pissed and ready to get his shot at Jay Lethal at Death Before Dishonor. But can he get past the House of Truth?
1: Jay Lethal: He’ll do anything to hold on to the ROH World Title and even more to keep the TV Title around his waist, including taking out ODB. Does he have what it takes to keep his belt through the summer, especially with Jay Briscoe and Roderick Strong hungry for shots?
