O'Ryan made his Ring of Honor debut on October 1, 2016, in Lowell, MA as a part of The Kingdom (with Matt Taven and Vinny Marseglia). They defeated The Bullet Club (Adam Cole and The Young Bucks).[3][4]

On December 2, 2016, The Kingdom became the first-ever ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions by defeating Kushida, Lio Rush & Jay White.[5]

O'Ryan was injured on March 10, 2017, during the ROH 15th Anniversary Show when he jumped too far on an Asai Moonsault and broke his leg on a guard rail. The following day, Silas Young replaced O'Ryan in a match, where The Kingdom lost the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship to Bully Ray and The Briscoes.[6]

On May 9, 2018, at ROH/NJPW War of the Worlds Tour, The Kingdom would regain the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship by defeating SoCal Uncensored. On September 27, 2019, on Death Before Dishonor XVII, O'Ryan and Marseglia was attacked backstage. On ROH Television, O'Ryan announced The Kingdom was now disbanded after Marseglia's attack towards Taven. He would then announce he would be stepping away from the ring for time to take care of a leg injury and several concussions suffered throughout the year.

O'Ryan wrestled his final match in December 2019.
