ROH World Championship
Kevin Steen (c) vs. Jay Briscoe
If Kevin Steen can knock off Jay Briscoe he'll have broken a record which has stood for over six years, held by Takeshai Morishima who in his 200+ day reign defended the ROH World Championship 20 times, which Steen is now tied for. But for Steen to do that he must go through someone who has been with Ring of Honor since day one, one-half of eight time ROH World Tag Team Champions, The Briscoes, Jay Briscoe.
In Asheville, North Carolina last weekend Steen knocked off Jay's younger brother Mark in the main event to retain his ROH World Championship, and now the older brother remains, and with him having been with ROH since the very first day nobody knows more than Jay Briscoe the importance of the title, which he hopes to finally capture at SuperCard of Honor.

ROH World Tag Team Championship
The American Wolves vs. redDRagon (c)
Since Best In The World last year Kyle O'Reilly has broken out on his own, displaying a new confident attitude, a new determination to succeed and alongside new tag team partner Bobby Fish a new championship to his accolades as last month the duo upset the odds to defeat The Briscoes cleanly and become the new ROH World Tag Team Champions.
But due to the way in-which they won the Gauntlet Match two weeks prior to this on ROH Wrestling TV to earn their title match, where they capitalized on SCUM's attack on The American Wolves, Nigel McGuinness has granted Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards another chance to show rivals redDRagon how its done. With this being the rubber match in the feud, The Wolves are on the hunt for victory and another run with the ROH World Tag Team Championships.

ROH World Television Championship
Adam Cole vs. Matt Taven (c) vs. Matt Hardy
Matt Taven was another young gun who upset the odds to defeat Adam Cole last month at the 11th Anniversary Show, albeit with assistance from Truth Martini, to capture the ROH World TV Championship, something which sent then number one contender Matt Hardy irate at ringside as he was doing commentary on the match.
Two weeks ago on ROH Wrestling TV Adam Cole and Matt Hardy met in their rematch from Final Battle, but due to interference from Rhino and SCUM, which was followed by a brawl between the group and half the ROH roster, Nigel McGuinness has made a match which will satisfy Matt Hardy and give Adam Cole his chance to enter Border Wars gunning for the World Championship while also holding the ROH World TV Championship.
Special Challenge Match
NJPW's Karl Anderson vs. Roderick Strong
Following the 11th Anniversary Show defeat to Michael Elgin, Roderick Strong was exempt from a match with ROH World Champion Kevin Steen. With this "The Messiah of the Backbreaker" told Nigel McGuinness to find him the best opponent possible for SuperCard of Honor, and as is tradition at the event, McGuinness has sought out talent from the land of the Rising Sun and has hit the jackpot.
Karl Anderson is one of New Japan Pro Wrestling's biggest stars. Having recently challenged for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, Anderson comes back to Ring of Honor after seven years, a much more matured competitor and a much more respected one at that. "The Machine Gun" is most notable for his tag team with Giant "Tensai" Bernard, Bad Intentions.
World Title #1 Contenders Match
Jay Lethal vs. Michael Elgin
Jay Lethal and Michael Elgin have came the closest to knocking off Kevin Steen and bringing the ROH World Championship back to Ring of Honor, away from SCUM's grasp. At Glory By Honor XI had it not been for Roderick Strong's interference Michael Elgin could very well be standing now as the ROH World Champion, but it wasn't to be and Elgin would first have to deal with Strong before returning his attention to the ROH World Championship.
Jay Lethal on the other hand has possible came the closest to taking the title away from Steen. Last month at the 11th Anniversary Show had it not been for interference from Jimmy Jacobs and Steve Corino, Lethal could very well have defeated Steen, but he didn't and Kevin retained. Following the match and SCUM's growth Lethal has became even more determined to defeat Steen and become ROH World Champion.
The winner will have to wait until late May at the earliest however, with Kevin Steen scheduled to defend the ROH World Championship against BJ Whitmer in two weeks at a live event in Richmond, Virginia, and against Adam Cole in the main event of Border Wars in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in May.
