Production
Background
Supercard of Honor is a pay-per-view professional wrestling event annually presented by Ring of Honor (ROH). It primarily takes place during the weekend of WrestleMania - the flagship event of WWE, and is considered to be the biggest wrestling event of the year. It has been a yearly tradition since 2006. The shows are sometimes two-day events, traditionally taking place on Friday nights and/or Saturday afternoons. They are held either in or near the same city as that year's WrestleMania.
On March 27, 2026, during Global Wars Canada, it was revealed that the 2026 edition of Supercard of Honor would be held on May 15, at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center in Salisbury, Maryland. This marks the second consecutive year that the event would not be held during WrestleMania weekend.[1]

The event features professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Storylines were produced on ROH's weekly series ROH Honor Club TV exclusively on their streaming service Honor Club, on television programs of sister promotion All Elite Wrestling including Dynamite and Collision.[2]
At the April 6, 2026, taping of ROH Honor Club TV, ROH President Tony Khan announced the first-ever women’s Survival of the Fittest tournament for Supercard of Honor.[3] Five qualifying matches took place at the taping, with the winners going on to the finals to challenge Athena for the ROH Women's World Championship.[4] In the five Survival of the Fittest qualifying matches, Maya World defeated Robyn Renegade, Trish Adora defeated Hyan, Yuka Sakazaki defeated Viva Van, Billie Starkz defeated Lacey Lane, and Persephone defeated Isla Dawn. All five women would advance to the final at Supercard of Honor to challenge Athena for her title.[5][6] However, a month later, on May 3, it was announced that Persephone was pulled from Supercard of Honor due to an apparent injury after a match on April 25's "Playoff Palooza" episode of AEW Collision.[7] A last-chance qualifying match was held on the "Supercard Showdown" edition of ROH Honor Club TV the day before Supercard of Honor, where Zayda Steel defeated Hyan to earn Persephone's spot in the match.[8][9]
Also on the "Supercard Showdown" edition of ROH Honor Club TV, AR Fox defeated Nick Wayne to win the ROH World Television Championship, but shortly after, Lio Rush appeared on the video board with a simple message: "Tomorrow." It was then announced that Fox will be defending his newly won championship against Rush at Supercard of Honor.[8][9]
