- Aubrey Edwards made history when she became the first woman to officiate an ROH World Championship match on Wednesday.
- Wheeler Yuta got into a war of words with MJF, who mocked Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, and William Regal. Yuta said that MJF's fiancee would leave him, just like MJF walked out on AEW. MJF dropped broadcaster Tony Schiavone with a cheap shot, and W. Morrissey helped him leave Yuta lying as well.
