K-I-N-G....Kenny King is your 2019 Honor Rumble winner.
Kenny King entered the Honor Rumble at number one and outlasted 29 other participants to earn a future shot at the ROH World Title. King last eliminated legends Jushin "Thunder" Liger and The Great Muta to pick up the victory. Everyone thought it came down to Liger and Muta as they were the last two in the ring, but King snuck back in as he had not been eliminated earlier in the match. Vinny Marseglia and TK O'Ryan rounded out the final five.
The match was highlighted by the surprise appearance of Haku (entering at number 29) and Muta (entering at number 30). Those two, along with Minoru Suzuki and Liger received the loudest ovations on the night.

After the bout, Muta blinded King with the red mist and Liger sent him packing with a Shotei. The crowd chanted "Thank you Liger" as the legendary junior heavyweight stood in the middle of the ring.
