ROH Beantown Beatdown: Top Flight Turns Down Shane Taylor Promotions

Ring of Honor’s Beantown Beatdown special aired on YouTube on Tuesday, July 21, and one of the night’s key storyline beats saw Shane Taylor Promotions make a pitch for a pair of new recruits.

During a Sky Flight segment, Shane Taylor Promotions interrupted and extended an offer for Top Flight to join their stable. Top Flight, however, turned the offer down, keeping the door closed on any alliance between the two factions for now. The moment adds another wrinkle to Shane Taylor Promotions’ ongoing push to expand its ranks within Ring of Honor, and it sets up the possibility of further friction between the group and Top Flight down the line.

Elsewhere on the card, Death Riders — Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta — were in tag team action and came away with a win, continuing their strong run as one of the more dominant duos on ROH programming. The team has been a consistent presence across Ring of Honor and AEW television, and another victory only bolsters their case as one of the top tandems in the promotion.

Beantown Beatdown continued Ring of Honor’s trend of using YouTube specials to build out its midweek storytelling between pay-per-views, giving stables like Shane Taylor Promotions room to develop their recruitment angle in front of a live crowd. With Top Flight rebuffing the offer, it remains to be seen whether Shane Taylor Promotions will look elsewhere for new members or continue applying pressure on the high-flying duo in the weeks ahead.

More results and details from the card are expected to surface as ROH continues to build toward its next major event.
