Over the next few months, Titus and King competed both in singles and tag team competition, and unsuccessfully challenged Kevin Steen and El Generico for the ROH World Tag Team Championship at Insanity Unleashed.
At Steel City Clash, Titus and King revealed their alliance with Austin Aries, when they attacked Aries' former allies, Erick Stevens and Matt Cross, with Aries becoming a mentor to Titus and King.

TYLER BLACK -
ROH Debut: 2007
Titles held: One time ROH World Champion (reign lasted 210 days)
Main Feuds: Austin Aries, Roderick Strong, Davey Richards
Main Allies: None
Signature Moves –
Paroxysm - Swinging lifting inverted DDT
FINISHER(S) –
GOD’S LAST GIFT – Fisherman buster floated over into a small package, sometimes from the top rope or while applying a wrist-clutch
PHOENIX SPLASH - Innovated by Hayabusa and technically known as a corkscrew 450° splash, the attacker, facing away from the ring and situated on the top turnbuckle, performs a 180° turn in mid-air and then performs a 450° splash onto a lying opponent.
On October 10, Black defeated Kenny King in a first round match and then Claudio Castagnoli, Colt Cabana, Delirious, Chris Hero and Roderick Strong in the finals to win the 2009 Survival of the Fittest tournament this earned him a match for the ROH World Championship.
On December 19 at Final Battle 2009, ROH's first live pay-per-view, Black wrestled ROH World Champion Austin Aries to a 60-minute time limit draw. Because of this draw, ROH commissioner Jim Cornette booked the two in a rematch for the company's Eighth Anniversary Show. The booking saw Cornette set up a judging panel with himself on and one person picked by each competitor, in order for there to be a decisive winner in case of another draw. Aries picked Kenny King while Black picked Roderick Strong, whom he guaranteed a title shot should he win. At the event, Black pinned Aries to win the ROH World Championship.
On April 3, Black retained the title in a three-way elimination match against Austin Aries and Roderick Strong at The Big Bang! pay-per-view, thereby depriving Strong of his championship chance in a singles match. He also retained at the following pay-per-view, Death Before Dishonor VIII, on June 19, in a match against Davey Richards.
Black turned heel at the August 20 tapings of Ring of Honor Wrestling, after news broke that he had signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). His new heel character involved him criticizing the fans who were labeling him a sell-out for signing with WWE, a feeling Lopez states was based on true feelings. He also threatened to take the ROH World Championship with him to WWE, and refused to put the championship at stake in a match with Davey Richards on August 28 which he then lost by submission.
On September 11 at Glory By Honor IX Black lost the ROH World Championship to Roderick Strong in a No Disqualification match with Terry Funk as a guest enforcer. This was his final ROH appearance.
MARK BRISCOE –
ROH Debut: 2002
Titles held: ROH World Tag Team Championship (8 times) – with Jay Briscoe
Main Feuds: Just about everybody in ROH, even feuding with his own brother at one time.
Main Allies: Jay Briscoe
Signature Moves –
Red Neck Kung Fu - Multiple throat thrusts followed by a leg drop bulldog
FINISHER(S) –
CUT-THROAT DRIVER – Cut-throat inverted Death Valley driver
FROGGY BOW - Frog splash transitioned into an elbow drop
DOOMSDAY DEVICE – Arguably the greatest finisher of any kind in ROH history, the DOOMSDAY DEVICE, has finished more opponents than any other.
On June 22 at Best in the World 2013, Mark unsuccessfully challenged his brother Jay Briscoe for the ROH World Championship. On July 16, ROH announced Mark as the sixteenth and final entrant in a tournament to determine the new ROH World Champion.

On May 17, the Briscoe Brothers took part in the ROH/New Japan Pro Wrestling co-produced War of the Worlds iPPV, where they unsuccessfully challenged Bullet Club (Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson) for the IWGP Tag Team Championship.
CHEESEBURGER –
ROH Debut: 2013
Titles held: None
Main Feuds: Brutal Bob
Main Allies: Roderick Strong
FINISHER(S) -
SHOTEI PALM STRIKE – Cheeseburger was taught this finisher by his idol, Jushin “Thunder” Liger during Liger’s tour through ROH.
Thanks to Charlie Haas, this graduate of the ROH Dojo has become known as Cheeseburger to the ROH faithful. Brandel, or simply Burger, has spent the last several years training under Delirious at the ROH Dojo while traveling the country with the ring crew and setting up at live events, waiting for his opportunity to step inside the ring for the very first time.
Thanks to the abuse of Haas, the spotlight fell on Cheeseburger early and saw him viciously and repeatedly whipped into the guardrails, not to mention the sheer verbal abuse to which he was subjected.
Cheeseburger has also found himself pulled into the affairs of Michael Bennett and Maria Kanellis on more than one occasion, including Burger getting to kiss the "First Lady of ROH".
His shining moment though certainly came when, thanks to Truth Martini, Cheeseburger finally got to set foot inside the ring as a competitor alongside Roderick Strong AND challenge reDRagon for the World Tag Team Titles in his very first ROH match!
JOEY DADDIEGGO –
ROH Debut: 2014
Titles held: None
Main Feuds: Briscoe Brothers
Main Allies: Truth Martini, Donovan Dijak, other members of the House of Truth.
FINISHER(S) –
DEATH VALLEY DRIVER – Daddiego uses his power to finish opponents using the classic DVD.
At first, ROH fans got to know Joey "Diesel" Daddiego as the hulking Head of Security who was impossible to miss. As he maintained order in ROH, breaking up brawls and patrolling ringside, you couldn't help but notice him. It seemed ROH was in safe hands as long as Joey Daddiego was on the case.
But recently, we've seen an new side to Diesel - a slightly less honorable side. In addition to his credentials as a bouncer and security guard, Joey Daddiego is a fully trained professional wrestler. And, it seems, his head bashing services are up for sale. Our Head of Security was a little less objective than ROH Officials would have liked. Truth Martini realized the potential of a Joey Daddiego alliance and got there first, slipping the big guy cash to keep him on the side of The House of Truth. And Joey Daddiego is more than happy to serve and protect Lethal and Martini. At least...for now.
STOKELY HATHAWAY –
ROH Debut: 2014
Titles held: None
Main Feuds: Cedric Alexander & Veda Scott
Main Allies: Moose
FINISHER(S) –
STAY WOKE! – diving headbutt spear to the solar plexus of the opponent.
MOOSE SPEAR – In tag matches, Stokely uses his ring smarts by tagging out to Moose and letting the big man finish the job with a monster spear!
Stokely Hathaway will tell anyone who will listen that he’s a leader; not a follower!
Previously known as “Ramon” with R.D. Evans, Moose and Veda Scott in #TheNewStreak Family, the ROH Dojo graduate revealed his true alliance at “Glory by Honor XIII.” On that highly anticipated night, Evans was undefeated at 173 – 0 and competing for the World Television Championship against Jay Lethal. After a back and forth battle, Moose shocked the San Antonio crowd by spearing R.D. and allowing Lethal to retain his TV title. Hathaway appeared and unapologetically revealed that he was the mastermind behind the fall of #TheNewStreak. His actions earned him the reputation as one of the most despised and vengeful personalities within the ROH locker room.
Prince Nana, manager and ROH talent scout, has called “Big Stoke” the future. Stokely proclaims that the sky is the limit. In his own words, “A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything. Never again will I be led to oppression. From now on, I run this! Sooner or later, I’m holding gold. Anything, and I mean ANYTHING, is possible with Moose, an unstoppable monster, by my side. STAY WOKE!”
Is the self-proclaimed “Young Mike Tyson” predicting the future? Only time will tell!
VEDA SCOTT -
ROH Debut: 2011
Titles held: None
Main Feuds: Stokely Hathaway & Moose, the Women of Honor Division
Main Allies: Cedric Alexander
Signature Moves –
FINISHER(S) –
Q.E.D.- Tornado double arm DDT
FLEX EXPRESS - Saito Suplex
A graduate of the ROH Dojo under Delirious and Daizee Haze, Veda Scott might be newer to the sport...but her knowledge of professional wrestling is anything but immature. After two decades of just watching from the sidelines, Veda knew she had to get the rest of the story firsthand - even if it meant a few bumps and bruises along the way.
Originally hired by ROH as a broadcaster, Veda Scott used her unique insight as a backstage interviewer to worm her way out from behind the microphone and into the ring. Her alliance with Barrister R.D. Evans - and subsequent revelation that they shared a profession - proved that Veda is willing to go above and beyond to get her clients noticed. #TheNewStreak took off and Veda Scott gained a new client in former NHL star Moose.
After Evans proved to be "disappointing," Scott turned her back on her former client and focused her attention on Moose. But when Moose seemed reluctant to follow her less-than-honorable example, Veda dropped him from her client list as well. Her latest client, Cedric Alexander, seems a perfect match for Veda Scott's ruthlessness and ambition.
That same ambition will now be showcased in the rebirth of the WOMEN OF HONOR division. Veda Scott has been training and competing outside of Ring of Honor, but the time as finally come for the female athletes of ROH to prove they belong alongside the best professional wrestlers on the planet!
