In episode #502&#8217;s marquee match, <strong>Tony Deppen<\/strong> challenged <strong>Tracy Williams<\/strong> for the ROH World Television Championship. Leading into this match, Deppen was positioned as number two on the World TV Title rankings, a spot he claimed by besting <strong>Kenny King<\/strong> on episode #495. Throw in the fact that Deppen is currently part of the newly formed <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/03\/27\/brody-king-violence-unlimited\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>VLNCE UNLTD<\/strong><\/a>, which also includes <strong>Chris Dickinson<\/strong>, <strong>Homicide<\/strong>, and <strong>Brody King<\/strong>, and it&#8217;s apparent that Deppen&#8217;s recent time in Ring of Honor has been eventful. Things have become that much more exciting; on this weekend&#8217;s ROH TV, Deppen defeated Williams to be crowned the new ROH World Television Champion.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Cats out of the bag. <\/p>\n<p>Oh and I\u2019m still an INDEPENDENT WRESTLER <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZaoE1vHp72\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/ZaoE1vHp72<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Tony Deppen (@Tony_Deppen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Tony_Deppen\/status\/1388659996058165249?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">May 2, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, a fan tweeted out the news of Tony Deppen winning the ROH World TV Title. &#8220;Cats out of the bag,&#8221; said Deppen. &#8220;Oh and I&#8217;m still an INDEPENDENT WRESTLER.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This marks the first-ever ROH title won by Deppen.

Deppen would lose in the first round to <strong>PJ Black<\/strong>, though the former had a good showing. Deppen would also challenge for the World TV Championship against then-titleholder <strong>Dragon Lee<\/strong> at <strong><em>Final Battle<\/em><\/strong> in December of that year. Meanwhile, Williams&#8217; title reign lasted a little over one month. He won the title at ROH&#8217;s <strong><em>19th Anniversary<\/em><\/strong> event, defeating Kenny King, who substituted for Lee. By this point, Lee had been diagnosed with a ruptured eardrum, temporarily putting him on the shelf.<\/p>\n<p><em>To see where you can watch ROH on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/tv-listings\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TV<\/a>\u00a0or see the latest episode of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rohwrestling.com\/watch\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ROH TV<\/a>\u00a0click here.
