Ring of Honor Wrestling TV (Episode 502)
Taped in Baltimore, Maryland at UMBC Arena
Aired May 1, 2021 in syndication and on SBG regional sports networks, available Mondays on FITE.TV
The ROH opening video aired… Quinn McKay checked in from the studio and hyped this week’s matches along with her own match against Angelina Love that will air on next week’s show. McKay said she’s excited and nervous, but she’s hoping to get things back on the right track…
Powell’s POV: I am really looking forward to the McKay vs. Love match, but that doesn’t have much to do with the build on the weekly television show. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much build to speak of. Rather, it’s something they built up online, which is a shame because McKay is a likable personality and her debut on the show should feel bigger than it does for viewers who are only watching the weekly show.

Samoa Joe - Mercenary
Samoa Joe would be a big score for any promotion. Lots of dream matches await. Samoan Submission Machine versus Samoan Werewolf would be badass with Joe wrestling Jacob Fatu in MLW. Coming to the NWA to challenge Worlds Champion Nick Aldis would be money. Returning to ROH would be a cool sight. A match with World Champion Rush makes me giddy, but watching Pure Champion Jonathan Gresham trying to solve the puzzle that Joe presents is what I’d really enjoy. Imagine Joe heading back to Impact in an effort to bring home their gold from Kenny Omega.

That Women’s Championship Tournament will play out in part on this new weekly YouTube series,
Women’s Division Wednesday. But they’re launching the show tonight (April 28) ahead of the tourney. Here’s what they’re promoting for the premiere:
Women’s wrestling in ROH is reborn as four debuting newcomers face off in a tag team match to prove their worthiness for the Women’s Championship Tournament this summer!
We don’t know when the tournament itself will start, or even who’s in it yet. The next milestone for the Women’s title story will happen on the episode of ROH TV that debuts next weekend (May 8), when announcer Quinn McKay attempts to get revenge against Angelina Love in her in-ring debut.
Ring of Honor has released the newest edition of ROH Week By Week, with this week’s episode focused on Quinn McKay firing back at Angelina Love ahead of their match on May 8, Tracy Williams and Tony Deppen hyping their upcoming match for the ROH TV title, and much more.
