Red Velvet Out, ROH Forced to Crown Interim Women’s TV Champion at Supercard of Honor

The “Stir It Up” era is officially on pause.

ROH Women’s Television Champion Red Velvet is no longer cleared to compete and will be vacating her title—just days before Supercard of Honor. The news broke during Tony Khan’s All In media call, with confirmation soon after from Velvet herself. And while the word “interim” was thrown around, what’s clear is that ROH will crown a temporary replacement this Friday.

Let’s talk facts: Red Velvet snatched the title from Billie Starkz last July and held it down for nearly a year. Seven successful defenses later, she’s proved she’s not just a vibe—she is the standard. From technical clinics to brutal brawls, Velvet evolved with the gold in hand, silencing critics and cementing her legacy as a fighting champion.

But now the title is up for grabs, and the clock is ticking.

No participants have been officially announced for the interim title match, but expect some heavy hitters to step up—whether it’s a returning veteran, an upstart from the ROH pipeline, or a crossover moment from AEW’s women’s division. One thing’s for sure: whoever wins will have a target on their back the size of Velvet’s glitter boots. Because when Red Velvet returns, she’s coming for what’s hers.

In the meantime, fans are already debating whether an interim title is the right call or just another confusing detour. Either way, Supercard just got a whole lot spicier.

Red Velvet may be out for now—but her legacy in ROH? Still stirring.
