I announce Steel on Steel being performed by Kakita Hideo xp, and my opponent reacts with Only Actions Speak.
My opponent immediately strikes and Hideo wins the Duel. Does Hideo's trigger of "After Hideo wins a duel" happen during the resolution of Steel on Steel, or after the resolution? Basically, will Only Actions Speak negate that honor gain?
Mod edit: Card titles.
I announce Steel on Steel being performed by Kakita Hideo xp, and my opponent reacts with Only Actions Speak... (W)ill Only Actions Speak negate that honor gain?
Yes. Winning is at step H in this sequence, well before the action resolves.

Aside: your opponent should react with Only Actions Speak when your action from Steel on Steel is announced (card text), which happens before you choose the performing Personality (see Abilities and actions).
