ROH Final Battle 2025 Predictions
ROH Final Battle 2025 arrives on Friday, December 5, bringing one of the promotion’s strongest lineups in years. With championships on the line, a major tournament final, and several grudge matches set to unfold, people are wondering who will walk out as winners in Columbus. Below are full match-by-match predictions based on current storylines, momentum, and booking patterns leading into the final ROH event of the year.
Ring of Honor Final Battle 2025 Predictions
Athena vs Persephone – Prediction: Athena Retains
Athena has dominated the ROH Women’s World Championship division for an extended stretch, and there is little reason to believe her run ends here. Persephone is a rising talent who has impressed throughout 2025, but Final Battle tends to feature long-term champions solidifying their legacy.
Mercedes Moné vs Red Velvet – Prediction: Mercedes Moné Wins
Mercedes Moné has been positioned as one of the biggest crossover stars in AEW/ROH, and Final Battle is the perfect stage to reinforce her importance to the women’s division as she keeps pushing her belt collector gimmick. Red Velvet has momentum, yet Moné’s star power and current run make her the clear favorite.
Survival of the Fittest – Prediction: Bandido Retains
Bandido will be putting his ROH Championship on the line in a Survival of the Fittest match, but considering the run he has had this year it would be odd to see him drop the belt in this one.
Lee Moriarty vs Nigel McGuinness – Prediction: Lee Moriarty Wins
Nigel McGuinness stepping back into the ROH ring gives Final Battle a major boost in prestige. However, ROH will likely use this match to elevate Lee Moriarty, who has been gradually climbing the ranks throughout 2025. A signature win over a respected legend gives Moriarty more credibility.
Ricochet vs ??? – Prediction: Ricochet Wins Regardless of Opponent
Ricochet’s arrival in ROH has created major buzz, and the mystery opponent angle suggests a spotlight moment is planned. Whether the challenger is a debuting star, a returning veteran, or an AEW crossover, Ricochet is the safe pick, considering he has only just won the belt.
Adam Priest & Tommy Billington vs Beast Mortos & Sammy Guevara – Prediction: Mortos & Guevara
This tag match brings together contrasting styles and personalities, but the star level of Sammy Guevara and Beast Mortos gives their team the clear advantage on paper.
Shane Taylor Promotions vs SkyFlight – Prediction: Shane Taylor Promotions Retain
Shane Taylor Promotions continue to be one of ROH’s most powerful units. SkyFlight is an exciting up-and-coming team, but STP’s physicality and experience give them a decisive edge in this one.
Women’s Tournament Final – Prediction: Winner of Purrazzo/Aminata
With Deonna Purrazzo and Queen Aminata on one side of the bracket and Billie Starkz and Yuka Sakazaki on the other, the final promises some fresh excitement ahead of a new champ being crowned. Purrazzo stands out as the most established competitor and a perfect choice to carry a new championship. If she reaches the final, she is the most likely winner. If not, Aminata is the next strongest contender.
