The OGK (Mike Bennett and Matt Taven) have regained the ROH World Tag Team Championship.
At Ring of Honor’s Honor For All event, Bennett and Taven defeated the champions, Kenny King and Dragon Lee of La Faccion Ingobernable, to win the titles. The interference of Max The Impaler neutralized the presence of LFI’s enforcer, Bestia del Ring, and The OGK pinned Lee with the Proton Pack for the win.

Here’s how the match culminated, courtesy of our play-by-play coverage:
The champions gain the upper hand, and Bestia del Ring interferes by attacking Taven at ringside. King grounds Taven and plants him with a spinebuster. Bennett tags in and squares off with Lee. They trade blows. Some chops and a Brainbuster give Bennett the upper hand, but Lee drops him with a German suplex.
They keep exchanging strikes, and Bennett blasts Lee with a forearm to the face. Taven nails King with a nasty knee to the face. Taven plants King with the Purple Thunder spinning slam. Lee floors Taven with a shotgun dropkick. Bennett slams Lee with a Spinebuster, but King catches him with a heel kick. Taven hits the Climax on Lee, but Bestia distracts the referee. Max The Impaler, accompanied by Amy Rose confronts Bestia, and the OGK pins Lee with the Proton Pack.
Lee and King won the titles on the episode of ROH Wrestling that aired the weekend of September 11; they defeated Chris Dickinson and Homicide to win the gold. Taven and Bennett last held the titles in 2015. This win was bittersweet for The OGK; Taven was in tears after the match because the current era of ROH is ending. The promotion won’t be renewing the contracts of its talent roster at the end of the year, and it will be going on hiatus for the first quarter of 2022 while it reimagines itself.
