Background
{{#invoke:see also|seealso}} Supercard of Honor VIII will feature professional wrestling matches, which will involve 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.
The main feud going into the event is between Adam Cole and Jay Briscoe to be the undisputed ROH World Champion, Briscoe (who won the title at Supercard of Honor VII) was previously ROH World Champion, had his title vacated from him in July due to a shoulder injury. At Death Before Dishonor XI Adam Cole won a 16-man tournament to capture the vacant championship, after Briscoe returned he attacked Cole and claimed as he was never defeated for the title, he was still the true ROH World Champion.
The Decade (Roderick Strong, Jimmy Jacobs, and BJ Whitmer) formed at Final Battle after longtime ROH wrestler Eddie Edwards had wrestled his last match in the company, all three came out and attacked Edwards announcing their new stable, informing everyone that they stood for honor which had long been forgotten, stating that they are against newcomers that don't show their respect, those who leave ROH, and those who leave and come back to ROH, and how they feel that as they have all been in ROH for 10 years, they don't get the respect they deserve. At State of the Art Jacobs defeated Cedric Alexander and afterwards Alexander offered a hand shake, but Strong said that they do not shake the hands of disrespectful newcomers, then Whitmer took Alexander's bags from the locker room and threw them out, kicking Alexander out of the arena also. At the 12th Anniversary Show a 6-man tag team match between The Decade vs Briscoe & Page & Alexander occurred, during which Alexander used his new finisher The Lumbar Check (a backbreaker) (which is a move Strong is known for using) on Strong, but nonetheless The Decade picked up the win. Thus for Supercard of Honor VIII it was announced that Cedric Alexander would face Roderick Strong.
It was announced that Kevin Steen will face Michael Elgin at Supercard of Honor VIII, with the winner receiving an IWGP Heavyweight Championship match against champion Kazuchika Okada at the ROH/NJPW War of the Worlds supershow in May.
