A fan's guide
Final Battle is Ring of Honor's showcase of technical, hard-hitting wrestling, and its Pure Rules matches — limited rope breaks, no closed fists — are unique among major promotions. The ROH World and Women's World titles are usually on the line.
Events stream on HonorClub, ROH's subscription service.
Our take
Final Battle is where ROH's identity — pure wrestling, honour rules, long title matches — is most visible. The 2025 Iron Man match between Lee Moriarty and Nigel McGuinness was the best example of that identity in years.
We would like ROH to give Final Battle more promotion outside HonorClub; its matches deserve a wider audience.
What's next
Final Battle 2026 is expected in December.
