Production

Background

Death Before Dishonor is a professional wrestling event, held annually by American promotion Ring of Honor. [1] [2] [3] The first event was held in 2003, and is traditionally one of ROH's biggest signature events in the calendar year. On the May 16, 2024, it was announced that Death Before Dishonor would take place on July 26, 2024, at the Esports Stadium Arlington in Arlington, Texas, and would air on pay-per-view. [4]

Storylines

The event will feature professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. [5] Storylines were produced on ROH's weekly streaming series on their Honor Club service, as well as the programming of sister promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW); including weekly television series Dynamite , Rampage and Collision , and via promotional videos on both the ROH and AEW YouTube channels and social media platforms.

Queen Aminata and Red Velvet have been feuding with ROH Women's World Champion Athena and ROH Women's World Television Champion Billie Starkz for the past several months, starting when Starkz defeated Aminata at Supercard of Honor in March to become the inaugural ROH Women's World Television Champion. The following week, Athena and Red Velvet had a match for the ROH Women's World Championship at AEW Battle of the Belts X, where Athena was victorious thanks to interference by Starks. After the match, Athena and Starkz jumped Velvet before Aminata came down for the save. [6] [7] For the next few months, Aminata and Velvet continued to prevent Athena and Starkz from doing more damage to their opponents after their matches, with the latter two doing all they can to avoid defending their titles against the two. However, on the July 4 episode of ROH Wrestling, Aminata and Velvet confronted Athena and Starkz to announce that they will respectively challenge them for the world and television titles at Death Before Dishonor. [8] [9] [10]
