Dalton Castle was somebody I definitely wanted around as we build this new era of Ring of Honor, but he opted to sign with WWE before Supercard of Honor XV. It looks like he debuted on the Raw after Wrestlemania with a win over Jinder Mahal.
The only other talent we weren't able to sign in our pre-Supercard negotiation period was Dak Draper, who signed a contract with Major League Wrestling.
The list of talent WWE released on Wrestlemania weekend and in their prior cuts are definitely... interesting. A mixture of producers, referees, announcers, veterans and future stars. There are a lot of possibilities with the free agent pool in professional wrestling right now.
Moses tearing his rotator cuff at Supercard has led to me coming up with some slightly different plans for Shane Taylor Promotions.
Most of our top talent are signed on with written agreements. We do have some talent on PPA deals; mostly talent I'm looking at as being in "trial periods".
We will utilize All Elite Wrestling talent on occasion. There are some talents signed to AEW who will mostly be competing in ROH and possibly transferring to ROH when their contracts expire.
We have working agreements with AEW, DDT, Impact Wrestling, NOAH, NJPW, RevPro, Stardom and TJPW. I'm definitely looking forward to bringing in guest talent, once we have established where everyone on our roster stands!

ROH Collision Course 2022 May 20, 2022 at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, NY
We are on a Collision Course, heading toward Ring of Honor Wrestling's debut on truTV with a stop in the iconic Hammerstein Ballroom!
Jonathan Gresham, Lee Moriarty & Samoa Joe vs. Jay Lethal, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett w/ Maria Kanellis-Bennett After the sequence of events that concluded Supercard of Honor XV, it was made official that Jay Lethal and OGK would have to answer for their actions the hard way -- in the ring against Jonathan Gresham, Lee Moriarty and Samoa Joe!
ROH World Women's Championship Match - No Holds Barred Deonna Purrazzo (C) vs. Athena After taking the easy way out to retain the ROH World Women's Championship at Supercard of Honor, Deonna Purrazzo was informed she would be facing Athena again at Collision Course, but this time the match would be No Holds Barred!
ROH Pure Championship Match Timothy Thatcher (C) vs. Swerve Strickland Following his tremendous performance and victory against Alex Zayne at Supercard of Honor, Swerve Strickland was picked to face Timothy Thatcher for the ROH Pure Championship. Thatcher will no doubt be aiming to out wrestle Swerve to make his first defense of the championship.
The Briscoes (Jay Briscoe & Mark Briscoe) vs. Suzuki-gun (Lance Archer & Minoru Suzuki) After losing the ROH Tag Team Championships to FTR, The Briscoes posted a video on social media saying they were pissed off and fired up and ready to take on anybody.

ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championship Match: The Righteous (Bateman, Dutch, Vincent) (C) vs. Incoherence (Delirious, Frightmare, Hallowicked) Although their win was on the pre-show it was enough to earn Incoherence a title opportunity against The Righteous! Can the wacky veteran team walk out of Collision Course as the new ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions?
Josh Woods & Silas Young vs. Shane Taylor Promotions (Kaun & O'Shay Edwards) w/ Shane Taylor They haven't always seen eye to eye, but Josh Woods and Silas Young will resume teaming together to do battle with Shane Taylor Promotions' Kaun and O'Shay Edwards!
Brian Cage w/ Tully Blanchard vs. Rhett Titus Determined to prove himself after his World Television Championship reign was cut short by Minoru Suzuki, Rhett Titus stepped up to the plate to challnenge Brian Cage!

ROH Collision Course 2022 May 20, 2022 - Hammerstein Ballroom - New York City, NY
The broadcast kicks off with Ian Riccabonni and Caprice Coleman welcoming the viewers to our 2nd PPV event in this new era of Ring of Honor! They hype the show by running down the card before our action begins!
Alex Zayne vs. Blake Christian vs. Ninja Mack
We opened Collision Course with a 3-Way Match! Alex Zayne was looking to bounce back after his loss to Swerve Strickland at Supercard of Honor. Both Blake Christian and Ninja Mack were making their debuts and looking to impress! All 3 competitors took to the skies throughout the match but also displayed some brutal striking. The closing moments of the match saw Blake Christian plant Ninja Mack with his 2K1 Driver, only to get blasted immediately after by Alex Zayne with the Crunch Wrap! Zayne scored the pinfall victory over Blake Christian and it was clear the crowd enjoyed watching all 3 of these competitors.
Winner: Alex Zayne at 10:33 via pinfall Brian Cage (w/ Tully Blanchard) vs. Rhett Titus Supercard of Honor was not Rhett Titus' night as he was defeated by Minoru Suzuki and lost his ROH World Television Championship on the first defence. Sadly for Rhett, Collision Course was not his night either. Brian Cage demolished the self-proclaimed "Sexiest Man Alive" and pinned him after a devastating Drill Claw!Winner: Brian Cage at 2:01 via pinfall
Josh Woods & Silas Young vs. Shane Taylor Enterprises
This tag team bout was hard-hitting with both teams looking to secure a victory to inch toward a future World Tag Team Championship opportunity. With Moses out injured, O'Shay Edwards teamed with Kaun to represent Shane Taylor Enterprises. Shane Taylor Enterprises came up short once again however, again due to a mistake; this time on Kaun's end! Kaun accidentally kicked O'Shay Edwards, taking him out of the match and shortly after was finished off by Silas Young who pinned him after putting him down with his cutter he calls Misery. Shane Taylor was visibly unhappy that his boys failed to pick up the win!
Winners: Josh Woods & Silas Young at 10:59 via pinfall
ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships The Righteous (C) vs. Incoherence
These two teams have collided before in Ring of Honor and unfortunately for Incoherence the result was the same on this occasion. The Righteous were firing on all cylinders and got in most of the offense throughout the match. With both Frightmare and Hallowicked being beaten down on the outside of the ring by Bateman and Vincent, it was Dutch who scored the pinfall for The Righteous after crushing Delirious with his Ripcord finishing move!
Winners: The Righteous at 9:41 via pinfall Trish Adora vs. Willow Nightingale This contest was a hard-hitting match clearly influenced by the legendary talent who competed in the All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling promotion. Both fighters gave it their all every second of this 19 minute contest. The closing stretch of the match saw a handful of near falls. Ultimately Willow was victorious after hitting the 2nd Dangeous Babe Bomb of the match to score the pinfall. Winner: Willow Nightingale at 19:08 via pinfall
As Willow Nightingale celebrates her victory over Trish Adora, she is suddenly attacked from behind by a hooded assailant! The attacker takes Willow down and locks her in a Dragon Sleeper! After a few moments, Willow starts to fade and her assailant is satisfied. They release the submission hold and reveal their face...
Ian Riccaboni recognizes the assailant as Killer Kelly! Much to their surprise, Danhausen joins our commentary team for the next bout!
When asked why he joined them for this match, he said: The Briscoes vs. Suzuki-gun These two teams beat the absolute hell out of each other for the entire duration of their match. Referee Frank Gastineau could not keep these four under control as they battle all around the ringside area. Lance Archer chokeslammed Jay Briscoe through the timekeeper's table while Suzuki locked Mark Briscoe in a sleeper hold that he transitioned into a rear naked choke! The referee called the match at nearly 15 minutes when Mark Briscoe, who refused to tap out succumbed to Suzuki's choke hold and fell into unconsciousness!Winners: Suzuki-gun at 14:45 via submission
ROH Pure Championship Timothy Thatcher (C) vs. Swerve Strickland Much like at Supercard of Honor, Timothy Thatcher refused to adhere to the Code of Honor when Swerve Strickland extended his hand! This ticked off Swerve who got in Thatcher's face, only to be greeted with a headbutt! Thatcher had the advantage early on as he was simply out maneuvering Swerve. Swerve changed gears and managed to take things over after a few minutes, using his speed to his advantage. In the closing moments, Thatcher managed to kick out of a pinfall attempt after Swerve drilled him with a House Call. Both competitors rose and met in the middle of the ring but it was Thatcher who managed to slam Swerve with a Saito suplex, followed by a Fujiwara Armbar! With Thatcher having the submission locked in tight and Swerve being out of rope breaks, he had no choice but to tap out!Winner: Timothy Thatcher at 18:50 via submission
Timothy Thatcher cut a promo following his title defense and said the following:
ROH World Women's Championship - No Holds Barred Deonna Purrazzo (C) vs. Athena After Deonna Purrazzo took the easy way out and got disqualified at Supercard of Honor, it was announced that these two fighters would engage each other once more in a No Holds Barred match! Deonna and Athena both took full advantage of the stipulation as they brawled and utilized some foreign objects! In the closing moments, Athena and Deonna battled it out with strikes. Athena came out of the exchange victorious as Deonna crashed to the mat. Seeing an opportunity, Athena made her way to the corner and ascended the turnbuckle. Deonna Purrazzo rose to her feet, dazed and was just as quickly spiked into the mat as Athena connected with the Eclipse! She quickly followed up with a pin to secure the victory and become the NEW ROH World Women's Champion! Winner: Athena at 16:11 via pinfall
Jonathan Gresham, Lee Moriarty & Samoa Joe vs. Jay Lethal, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett (w/ Maria Kanellis-Bennett) Our main event of Collision Course saw ROH Undisputed World Champion Jonathan Gresham team up with Lee Moriarty and the recently returned Samoa Joe to take on Jay Lethal and the OGK; with Gresham and Moriarty looking for retribution after being attacked by their opponents at Supercard of Honor! Joe was the "star" of the match as he received "welcome back" chants and his signature "Joe's gonna kill you" chants throughout the bout. All six competitors showed why they were in the main event tonight, hitting plenty of big signature and finishing moves until the bout came to a conclusion after almost 27 grueling minutes. It was Samoa Joe who scored the win for his team when he locked Mike Bennett into the Coquina Clutch just as he did as Supercard of Honor! Winners: Jonathan Gresham, Lee Moriarty & Samoa Joe at 26:34 via submission
Hey folks, let me know what you think so far! I've been playing around with graphics and trying to do a little bit of pre-planning/booking as I have a habit of booking on the fly too much, haha! Thanks to those who got in predictions! I hope you're enjoying this journal so far!

Rhett Titus is also looking for a victory after losing his Television Championship to Minoru Suzuki at Supercard as well as losing against Brian Cage at Collision Course!

Winner: Josh Woods at 9:08 via submission
Blake Christian vs. Lee Moriarty
Lee Moriarty is looking for his first single's win after losing to Jay Lethal at Supercard of Honor. Likewise, Black Christian is looking for his first victory in Ring of Honor.

Moriarty was able to secure the victory for himself with the Taiga Driver '18!
Winner: Lee Moriarty at 11:01 via pinfall
The Briscoes cut a promo before their main event match!
OGK vs. The Briscoes
Both of these teams want a shot at the ROH World Tag Team Championships. OGK tried to outwrestle the Briscoes, who simply tried to beat the crap out of OGK! Both teams gave it their all and both teams nearly picked up the win in the final minutes of the contest. OGK was victorious with some assistance from Maria who distracted the referee, allowing Bennett to low blow Mark Briscoe and then drive him into the mat with the Miracle in Progress!
Winners: OGK at 16:37 via pinfall
After the match, Jay Briscoe, having seen the low blow attacks OGK! Mark soon recovers enough to join in and both teams battle around the ring! Jay Lethal joins his allies in their assault on the Briscoes! The Briscoes are quickly overwhelmed and thrown out of the ring! Jonathan Gresham, Lee Moriarty and Samoa Joe come charging out to the ring now! Lethal notices them and bails out of the ring, leaving OGK to be the victims of Gresham, Joe and Moriarty's offense! Lethal backs up the entrance area, but...
Bandido comes from behind and attacks Lethal, driving him back toward the ring! Lethal, on the defense, rolls back into the ring seemingly forgetting about Gresham and Joe! He soon remembers though as he turns around into an enziguri from Joe! Then from the top rope, Bandido lands a Shooting Star Press!
Just as it seems things will end with The Briscoes, Bandido, Gresham and Joe celebrating... Brian Cage and Tully Blanchard appear! Tully gives Cage directions and it soon becomes clear what his orders were... Cage charges the ring and attacks! OGK manage to get back to their feet and join in, soon followed by Lethal! It's absolute carnage in and around the ring as ROH on truTV comes to a close!
