Take No Prisoners (2009) was the second Take No Prisoners professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Ring of Honor. It took place on April 4, 2009 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, and aired on pay-per-view on June 12, 2009. There were seven matches that took place on the card. Storylines One of the main feuds going into the show was between Tyler Black and Austin Aries, who had since been in an ongoing feud over the past year originating from Black's membership in the villainous faction, The Age of the Fall. As the protege of group leader, Jimmy Jacobs, Jacobs would use Black in his rivalry with Aries, which saw the two have numerous encounters until Jacobs turned on Black. This led to a brief truce between Black and Aries until Aries turned on Black, citing his disdain for the fans. Also feuding at the time were Japanese professional wrestlers Kenta, of Pro Wrestling Noah, and Katsuhiko Nakajima, of Kensuke Office. The two had been feuding in Japan over Noah's GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship, held at the time by Kenta. The four wrestlers were scheduled to compete in a tag team match with Black and Kenta facing Aries and Nakajima. Brent Albright and Claudio Castagnoli recently had a series of matches that had a number of inconclusive decisions, with Albright not being content at winning a few by default. The two would plan to meet at Take No Prisoners in a tag team match choosing their own partners. Castagnoli chose frequent ally, then-ROH World Champion, Nigel McGuinness, while Albright chose the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Blue Demon, Jr. It was later announced on the show that the tag match was changed to a triple threat between Albright, Castagnoli, and Demon; McGuinness withdrew from the match due to suffering a biceps tear weeks before and losing the ROH World Championship to Jerry Lynn the night before at Super Card of Honor IV. The ROH World title would end up being defended at Take No Prisoners. As noted above, McGuinness lost the title the night prior to Jerry Lynn, who made a challenge to defend the title for the first time on the show in a Four Corner Survival match against Bryan Danielson, Erick Stevens, and D'Lo Brown. Another major match going into the show is a No Disqualification match pitting Jimmy Jacobs against his former
