Storylines

Supercard of Honor IV featured professional wrestling matches, which involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that played out on ROH's television programs. Wrestlers portrayed villains or heroes as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Reception

Reviewing the event for 411mania.com, J.D. Dunn gave the show an overall rating of 8 out of 10, describing it as "Not the... blowout show that it has been in the past, Supercard still gives us a fantastic Match of the Year Candidate in Davey vs. KENTA and a huge title change", whilst also noting that "The undercard is filled with some not-so-good-but-memorable moments."
