Death Before Dishonor (2025)
Updated: 12/11/2025, 2:09:43 PM Wikipedia source
The 2025 Death Before Dishonor was a professional wrestling live streaming event produced by the American promotion Ring of Honor (ROH). It was the 22nd Death Before Dishonor event and took place on Friday, August 29, 2025, at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The event also featured wrestlers from ROH's sister promotion, All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It was scheduled to stream exclusively on Honor Club; however, due to technical issues with that platform, most of the event was simulcast for free on YouTube. Twelve matches were contested at the event, including four on the Zero Hour pre-show. In the event's final match, which was promoted as part of a double main event, Athena defeated Mina Shirakawa to retain the ROH Women's World Championship. The other main event, which was the penultimate match, saw Bandido defeat Hechicero in a critically acclaimed match to retain the ROH World Championship. In other prominent matches, Sammy Guevara and Rush defeated The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum) to win the vacant ROH World Tag Team Championship, and Q.T. Marshall defeated Paul Walter Hauser in a Fight Without Honor.
