The aforementioned AEW stars in question are The Beast Mortos and Sammy Guevara. At the Ring of Honor Final Battle 2025 pay-per-view, La Facción Ingobernable members (Sammy Guevara and The Beast Mortos) competed against "Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington and Adam Priest. The match was contested for the vacant ROH World Tag Team Championships. It came after Guevara's tag partner, Rush, with whom he held the titles, was injured, and the championships were vacated.

Both sides had an explosive start in the tag team showdown that involved claiming ROH gold, especially for Guevara, who did not lose the titles. They exchanged blows, hard-hitting and tag team moves, and displayed excellent chemistry as two top teams at the Ring of Honor pay-per-view. The match continued to pick up pace as neither side refused to give up on the huge opportunity at stake.

As the captivating showdown approached the final bell, Tommy Billington was on the top rope to execute a move on The Beast Mortos. However, as the official was not looking, Guevara hit him with a low blow. This allowed Mortos to climb the top rope and hit a Corkscrew slam to score the pinfall and win the ROH World Tag Team titles for his team.
