With the Bullet Club, Dalton Castle and Lio Rush on this week’s ROH TV, there was plenty of drama in and out of the ring. Check out this week’s ROH TV Power Rankings to see what went down on an impactful night of wrestling action.
Honorable Mention: Bobby Fish: Has this guy grown into an excellent singles performer over the past few months or what? With a title defense against Shibata next week and Dijak ready for an opportunity, Fish has a great opportunity to further his reputation in a variety of ways in and out of the ring.
5: The Addiction: Easily the most dominant and entertaining tag team in ROH, Christopher Daniels and Frank Kazarian are looking for competition. If ROH booker Nigel McGuiness has his way, they’ll have some soon.
4: Dalton Castle: After a few big losses the past month or so, Castle regained his winning ways with a victory over ROH veteran Caprice Coleman this week on ROH TV.
3: The Briscoes: Jay and Mark are an institution in ROH and that isn’t going to change anytime soon.
2: Jay Lethal: With the Bullet Club breathing down his throat, the former ROH Champion brought in some friends from New Japan in Tetsuya Naito and Evil to help him get his title back. With a six-man tag match announced for next week, things are about to get interesting.
1: Adam Cole: The new Ring of Honor World Champion made some bold statements on ROH TV this week, proclaiming that he will be the best champion the company has ever had. With Kyle O’Reilly and Jay Lethal hungry for shots at the strap, Cole won’t have to wait in order to prove if he’s a prophet or a joke.
