Last night's Ring of Honor Best in the World PPV drew in the area of 1,250 paid fans with some additional guests and comps in Baltimore, PWInsider.com is told. The PPV was an extremely strong show with a push to ascend a lot of talents to the next level, including Bandido, Brody King, Mike Bennett and more. It is well worth checking out the replay on FITE.TV.
Bandido's first ROH title defense will be Friday 8/20 against Flip Gordon in Philadelphia, PA.
This week's edition of the ROH Strong podcast features Mandy Leon and Bryan Zane.
Quinn McCay vs. Mandy Leon is set for this weekend's edition of ROH TV.
Ian Riccaboni commented on returning to broadcast in front of live fans last night:
I teared up when I sat down after my entrance.

I was at an 11 all night.
So many lost so much during the pandemic. I'm so thankful those that made it through were able to join us and enjoy @ringofhonor #ROHBITW.
If you liked what you saw, give our TV a try. Happy Wrestling!
Ring of Honor issued the following:
The long, bitter feud between former friends Matt Taven and Vincent will be settled inside a steel cage at Glory By Honor Night 2 on Aug. 21 in Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena.
The match was made on a tense, live episode of “Trending With Taven” during Best In The World Hour One at Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore.
Vincent said he would give Taven a match only if Taven puts the ROH World Title shot that he is owed on the line. Taven, who desperately wants to settle the score with Vincent once and for all and move on, agreed to the stipulation.
Vincent also made the suggestion for the match to be contested inside a steel cage.
This will be the first steel cage match in ROH since 2014, when then-ROH World Television Champion Jay Lethal defeated Taven.
After the match was official, Taven nailed Vincent in the head with a table. The Righteous’ Bateman, Dutch and Vita Von Starr came to Vincent’s rescue. Taven briefly held his own before succumbing to the numbers game.
Dutch lawn-darted Taven into the “Trending with Taven” and through the ropes to the floor.
