AEW National Champion Mark Davis, nicknamed Dunkzilla, defended the title against CMLL star Xelhua on the ROH Supercard of Honor card. Davis brought his power-driven, high-flying offense while Xelhua wrestled as a masked lucha libre aerial specialist with CMLL pedigree from Mexico. The bout was a featured title match on the Supercard lineup and represented a cross-promotional AEW, ROH, CMLL pairing. The stylistic contrast and international stakes could elevate the National Championship or introduce Xelhua to a wider U.S. audience.
