Ring of Honor returned to Philadelphia for its annual Supercard of Honor show. The card had five title matches, including the crowning of the inaugural ROH Women’s Television Champion.

The main event saw Eddie Kingston make his return to Honor Club. Since winning the Continental Championship, he hasn’t been on ROH programming since November, save for a few videos. April 5 was 11 years to the day of the late Jay Briscoe winning his first singles championship in ROH.

Kingston and Briscoe have been friends for decades and have faced off in the ring many times. Neither held back with Briscoe getting busted open early on. The two tried everything they could think of to outsmart their opponent and get the win.

Briscoe hit the Jay Driller for the win. It was expected, but powerful nonetheless. The moment was made even more emotional when Briscoe celebrated in the ring with his family while colorful streamers rained down. Some of the locker room came to celebrate, recreating the scene from over a decade prior. Briscoe and Kingston hugged in the ring before “The Mad King” departed to let the new champion celebrate.
