Overview
The American professional wrestling promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) promotes several professional wrestling championships for its men's and women's divisions. ROH often broadcasts championship matches on their weekly streaming television program, Honor Club, while also regularly being featured on programs of sister promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Major championship defenses also occur at ROH's and AEW's periodic pay-per-view events.
Men
At the top of ROH's championship hierarchy for male wrestlers is the ROH World Championship. It is held by two-time champion Chris Jericho, who defeated Mark Briscoe in a Ladder War on the October 23, 2024 episode of AEW Dynamite.
The secondary title for male wrestlers is the ROH World Television Championship, which is held by first-time champion Komander. He defeated Brian Cage, Willie Mack, Mark Davis, AR Fox and Blake Christian in a Survival of the Fittest match on December 20, 2024, at Final Battle to win the title.
The ROH Pure Championship is a specialty championship, featuring matches being conducted under "Pure Wrestling Rules". It is held by first time champion Lee Moriarty, who defeated Wheeler Yuta on July 26, 2024 at Death Before Dishonor.
The ROH World Tag Team Championship is ROH's traditional tag team title, being contested by teams of two wrestlers. It is held by The Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara), who are in their first reign both as a team and individually. They defeated The Undisputed Kingdom (Mike Bennett and Matt Taven) on August 17, 2024 during the live AEW Collision broadcast to win the titles.
The ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship is a title contested by teams of three wrestlers, also referred to as trios. The title is held by The Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes, Marshall Von Erich, and Ross Von Erich), who are in their first reign, both as a team and individually. They won the vacant title by defeating The Undisputed Kingdom (Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, and Mike Bennett) on July 27, 2024, at AEW's Battle of the Belts XI. Previous champions Bang Bang Gang (Jay White, Austin Gunn, and Colten Gunn) were stripped of the title due to an injury to White and being denied their request to have stablemate Juice Robinson defend the title under the Freebird Rule.
Women
ROH has two championships for its women's division. The primary title is the ROH Women's World Championship, which is held by first-time champion Athena. She defeated Mercedes Martinez at Final Battle on December 10, 2022.
