* Ladder Wars in general are fountains of awesome moments in pro wrestling, but the participants of Ladder War VI seemed determined to top them all. Before it even began, Christopher Daniels cut an emotional promo that declared that the Ring of Honor tag team title would likely be the last belt that he held in his long and illustrious career. He fought and clawed to keep it, bleeding heavily after taking a ladder shot early in the match and being dropped onto a makeshift table made out of three crowd barricades. In the end, the combined efforts of the Young Bucks and Motor City Machine Guns proved to be too much as the Bucks hit an [=IndyTaker=] spiked tombstone on Wrestling/FrankieKazarian, through a table and off of a ladder (Nick had a chance to win the match right there, but decided that adding one more high spot to the match would be more appropriate). Both of their foes out, the Bucks climbed the ladder and won their second ROH Tag Title (and leaving the show with three major tag titles around their waists.)
* "Broken" Matt Hardy challenging the Young Bucks to a tag team match during Final Battle 2016 qualifies as one CMOA. Plus he's not coming alone for this one, he's bringing in Brother Nero aka Jeff Hardy! In an essence,the act would unofficially begin a new relationship between ROH and TNA for the first time in nearly a decade.

* Glacier appearing as #20 in the 2017 Honor Rumble. EVERYONE freaked out, from the audience to the commentators, and even ROH World Champion Cody Rhodes went nuts. The other wrestlers in the ring also [[IncrediblyLamePun stopped cold]] and watched as he made his way to the ring.
* In mid 2018, ROH along with NJPW announced that it would hold a G1 Supercard event inside Madison Square Garden. Yes THAT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN! It would go head to head with WWE's NXT Takeover event at the same night. The ticket sales is a success in which it became a sell out.

* Final Battle 2022 lives up to its reputation even if the company is under new management. Of particular note is the double dog collar match between the Briscoes and FTR for the ROH World Tag Titles. In a very brutal match that even had the ref bleeding after he took a chain shot to the head, the Briscoes win and become 13-time ROH tag champions.

* The official formation of The Age of the Fall deserves to be mentioned. Some back story: A viral website starts to float around before the 161st ROH event, and the official ROH message boards swirl with confusion over what it means. At the actual show, things are relatively normal...until the tag match between [[BashBrothers The Briscoes]] and Wrestling/KevinSteen & [[Wrestling/SamiZayn El Generico]] ends. After the match, out walks [[AxCrazy Necro Butcher]], Wrestling/JimmyJacobs (who, up to that point, had only been cast as a [[ButtMonkey really incompetent flunkie]]), and Tyler Black. All three commit an [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence EXTREMELY VIOLENT]] assault on the Briscoes before [[NightmareFuel stringing the barely conscious Jay Briscoe upside down]], [[NightmareFuel his blood LITERALLY raining down all over Jacobs]]. The angle had such an impact in ROH (which, while cutting-edge, was never considered an extremely bloody deathmatch-type promotion) that the official DVD release of the PPV removed the original footage and used the infamous "blood edit", which may even be worse. The fans insisted on seeing the original footage, which was later uploaded to ROH's official Website/YouTube account as part of their videowire. To this day, it's one of the most surreal, violent, and ultimately influential debuts by any group in any promotion: the once [[TheWoobie lovable loser]] Jimmy Jacobs turned into public enemy #1 in a promotion notorious for CHEERING heels and [[EnsembleDarkhorse Tyler Black's]] career was launched in full.

** The greatest testament to Danielson's talent is probably the fact that many, many ROH wrestlers have had ''their'' Crowning Moment Of Awesome while wrestling him. Wrestling/NigelMcGuinness engaging Danielson in a headbutt war while bleeding from a massive bulge on his face as his hometown London fans roared, Jimmy Rave countering and stealing Danielson's moves, Wrestling/AustinAries lasting 75 minutes against him in a 2 out of 3 falls match, Homicide overcoming a cheap DQ to finally win the ROH championship, Wrestling/RoderickStrong making Danielson's chest bleed from chops...Danielson is an expert at making other wrestlers look every bit as awesome as he is.
