Ring of Honor (ROH) announced the match card for the Death Before Dishonor 2026 event in Philadelphia, which includes several title defenses. 

However, the scheduled ROH Pure Championship match between Lee Moriarty and Nigel McGuinness was removed from the card. McGuinness officially withdrew after being unable to secure medical clearance due to a leg injury sustained during a match against Katsuyori Shibata. While the match was initially removed from the card, potential replacements for Moriarty’s opponent include Wheeler Yuta or Shibata.
