Tony Deppen vs. Rhett Titus
Tony Deppen gave a pre-match promo, sharing how he has compared a lot in comparison to Titus in half the time. We then see ‘The Professional’ Rhett Titus coming to the ring next. Titus shares that he and Deppen both have similarities, but he will show him what it is like to go to work and that it isn’t personal but that it’s PROFESSIONAL. Deppen gives a half-hearted attempt at adhering to the code of honor with Titus.
Once the bell rings, both men lock up, with both men jockeying for position. We then see Titus wrench Deppen’s throat with a headscissors. Deppen’s face looks red in the process. Both men continue to jockey for position. We witness a variety of moves between both men. Finally, Titus uses a front face lock, gearing in for a pinning predicament. Deppen recovers and uses Titus’ legs against him, leading to a rope break.
After the break, Titus once again works on Deppen down on the mat. Once again, Titus has Deppen’s head forced between his knees. It’s a fairly and technically sound match throughout. Titus hits a belly-to-belly followed by a butterfly underhook suplex on Deppen. But Deppen recovers, leading to a knee to the back of the head of Titus and an attempted rear chinlock. Deppen has Titus tied up, but that doesn’t prevent him from biting him at one point.
Homicide comes to the ring now to offer Deppen support but leads to a distraction as well. Deppen attempted a senton, but Titus gets his knees up, landing on Tony’s back. Titus recovers and hits a shoulder tackle on Deppen from the ring apron into the ring. He then traps Deppen’s knee hitting a knee breaker, and transitions it into a back suplex.

He then attempts a half crab on Deppen and has it in very deep. Homicide is trying to help Deppen from the outside. He then slides in a couple of chairs in the ring. Deppen uses the chair while the referee is distracted, leading to a pump kick, a pinfall, and the win in the first match for ROH TV for 10/25/21.
