ROH Global Wars Taping Results From Arena Mexico

Ring of Honor taped matches for its Global Wars special on Wednesday, August 5, at Arena Mexico, continuing the promotion’s push into international crossover events.

Among the results that have surfaced, Lio Rush picked up a win over El Clon in singles competition. In a mixed trios matchup, Thunder Rosa, Hyan and Maya World teamed up to defeat the trio of Skye Blue, Marina Shafir and Hikaru Shida. Additional matches on the taping reportedly featured names including Mascara Dorada, Brillante Jr., Roderick Strong and Orange Cassidy, though full details on how those matches played out have not been made available.

Global Wars has long served as ROH’s banner for showcasing international talent and forging ties with promotions outside the United States, and running the taping out of the historic Arena Mexico underscores how seriously the company is leaning into its lucha libre connections. The venue is one of the most iconic buildings in all of professional wrestling, long associated with CMLL, and seeing ROH talent share a card there with recognizable lucha and independent stars speaks to the kind of cross-promotional access ROH has been building.

The presence of Thunder Rosa, Hikaru Shida and Skye Blue on the same trios bout also highlights ROH’s continued investment in its women’s division, pairing established AEW-affiliated stars with rising talents like Maya World and Hyan in a setting far removed from ROH’s usual domestic touring circuit. Meanwhile, the appearance of names like Roderick Strong and Orange Cassidy suggests ROH used the trip to spotlight some of its more tenured roster members alongside the influx of lucha-style competitors.

As is typical with international tapings, ROH will likely hold these matches for broadcast rather than air them live, meaning the full Global Wars card and its outcomes should become clearer once the special begins rolling out. Fans hoping for a complete picture of how the Arena Mexico show unfolded will want to keep an eye on ROH’s programming schedule in the coming weeks.

For now, the confirmed results offer just a glimpse of what promises to be a stacked international showcase once the full special sees the light of day.
