Ring Of Honor TV Results – March 9, 2023

Ring Of Honor Date: March 9, 2023 Location: Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman We’re still on the first taping of this new show so things are likely to look like they did last week. The wrestling itself was pretty good, but the length of the show was quite the drag.

Deppen fights back though and hits a running corner dropkick. A knee gives Deppen two more but Joe Rock Bottoms him out of the corner.

On The Bad List: WWE Star Reveals She Is “Beat Up”, Possibly Out Of Action

That could slow her down. Wrestling is a physical sport and there is always the chance that someone is going to get banged up in one way or another.

Reigns defeated Zayn in a title defense at Elimination Chamber. It was a smart moment. Check out the promo, plus Zayn and Rhodes in acti..
