Thus far, Bandido has yet to lose a Proving Ground match. But it could be different on this night. Bandido is coming off a grueling battle against Hecichero at Death Before Dishonor. Then he defended the AEW World Tag Team titles on Dynamite Wednesday. With the ROH World Champion coming into the bout less than 100%, will Lee Johnson end up getting his first world title opportunity in nearly two years?

The women’s Pure Championship tournament is finally under way. In a first round match, Deonna Purrazzo and Trish Adora are scheduled to fight one another. Both women are competing tonight, but it isn’t a tournament match. To prepare for their tournament match, Deonna will face Rachel Ellering and Trish will take on Ashley Vox. Can these two women build momentum for their eventual showdown? Or will their opponents pull off a surprising victory?

AR Fox & The Kingdom are scheduled for six-man tag team action tonight as they’ll take on the obnoxious Frat House (Cole Karter, Preston Vance, & Griffin Garrison). Fox, Matt Taven, and Mike Bennett are looking to regain some momentum after some big losses recently. Will that start tonight over the heel trio?

Check out the advertised line-up below:

• Spanish Announce Project (Angelico & Serpentico) vs. Premier Athletes (Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari)
• Aaron Solo vs. Hologram
• Jordan Oliver vs. The Beast Mortos
• Matt Mako vs. Josh Woods
• Johnny TV vs. Alex Zayne
• Don Callis Family (Lance Archer & Hechicero) vs. BEEF & LSG
• Pure Rules Match: Deonna Purrazzo vs. Rachael Ellering
• Pure Rules Match: Trish Adora vs. Ashley Vox
• AR Fox & The Kingdom (Mike Bennett & Matt Taven) vs. The Frat House (Cole Karter, Preston Vance, & Griffin Garrison)
• ROH World Title – Proving Ground: Bandido vs. Lee Johnson
