PLAY BY PLAY

Adam Pearce is in the ring.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Friday Night SmackDown!” The four women we saw last week are going to have a tag team match at the Elimination Chamber event! But only if they all sign the contract. So please welcome the team of WWE official, Sonya Deville & the SmackDown Women’s Champion, Charlotte Flair! Sonya, arm still in a sling, makes her way out, followed by The Queen. Charlotte holds up her title before taking her seat with Sonya at the table. Next, Pearce introduces Naomi & the Baddest Woman on the Planet, Ronda Rousey! Naomi is out first, then Rowdy Ronda makes her entrance.

Ronda and Naomi are all smiles as they go to the ring and Naomi even rocks out to Ronda’s theme as they take their seats. Pearce says they just need four signatures, but Sonya interrupts. She knows how these work, she’ll sign. But then Sonya thinks to have things explained to Naomi & Ronda, since they don’t know how to follow rules. Ronda knows rule one is sign the damn contract. Naomi says rule two is to slap the taste outta Sonya’s mouth. Sonya says this is why she doesn’t like them. They have no respect for authority- Sonya, stop stalling and sign. Don’t tell Sonya what to do! Ronda asks if Sonya forgot how to spell her name. It’s B I T-

Oh haha. Why do they think this is so funny? Naomi lost to Charlotte last week. And Ronda’s never beaten Charlotte. But that’ll change. Don’t interrupt! Sonya wants them all to respect her but Ronda says to shut up! Just sign it, Sonya. Sonya does, and passes it to Charlotte. Charlotte signs her part, and even dots the I. Now, this is their last chance to back out. if Naomi or Ronda want to speak- Naomi says Sonya better stop stalling or she’ll flip the table over and use Sonya’s head as the pen. Charlotte hushes everyone, and then laughs. “The both of you need to listen to Sonya’s new stipulation.”

What now? See, this is what’s funny. Those two don’t listen, but Sonya was trying to tell them something. Ronda did an interview a few days ago, where she said she could win with one arm behind her back. So then Sonya thought, “What a badass idea! Ronda Rousey wrestling with one arm tied behind her back!” So the higher ups added here in the fine print, “Ronda Rousey will wrestle this match with one arm tied behind her back.” They can back out if they want. Nope, Ronda just signs her part, and does Naomi. Ronda says she could have no hands and still tap dance on Sonya’s head.

But this match is up tomorrow, and Ronda has both hands now. She throws the contract at Charlotte, then smacks her off the table! Naomi ROUNDHOUSES Sonya, then she and Ronda both flip the table onto their opponents! Sonya & Charlotte just felt humiliated, but will they #FeelTheGlow and the pain at Elimination Chamber?

 

Sheamus & Ridge Holland meet up backstage.

The Fella tells his protégé that it was a bit of a letdown last week. That insignificant flea, Ricochet, got the better of him. Sheamus explains to Ridge that he has never had a problem with Ricochet. Always knocked the snot outta him. But the fact Ricochet beat Ridge, that’s annoying. Ridge needs to give Ricochet a hammering he’ll never forget! Is Ridge retaining any of this? He is. Then what did he say? When they go out there, you tool up and get your head in the game. Ridge said that he wants to be great like Sheamy. So tonight, he will watch what Sheamus does when he takes Ricochet’s bleedin’ head off. It’s fight night, but will the Celtic Warrior win the fight?

Sheamus w/ Ridge Holland VS Ricochet!

SmackDown returns and the One and Only makes his entrance. The bell rings and Sheamus makes sure Ridge is watching. Ricochet dropkicks Sheamus! And again! And fires off in the corner! Sheamus shoves him away but Ricochet comes back, sunset flips out of the scoop, TWO! Sheamus knees low, CLUBS Ricochet, then EuroUppers him to ropes. Sheamus whips, Ricochet kicks back! Sheamus staggers, Ricochet dropkicks him outta the ring! Ricochet builds speed and DIVES for a somersault tope! Direct hit and Sheamus goes into barriers! Fans fire up as Ricochet KICKS Sheamus then gets him in the ring.

Sheamus staggers up, swings but misses, and Ricochet ROCKS Sheamus. Ricochet springboards, Sheamus gets under and scoops Ricochet for a BACKBREAKER! Sheamus drags Ricochet to a corner, digs his knee in, but lets off at 4. Sheamus digs his boot in now, lets off again, and argues about the count. Ricochet kicks back from below, but Sheamus brings him up. Ricochet fires body shots, haymakers and CHOPS! Sheamus ROCKS Ricochet back, bumps him off buckles, then reels him in for a BIG back suplex! Ridge applauds his mentor and Sheamus wraps on a chinlock. Sheamus grinds Ricochet down but Ricochet endures.

Fans rally up, Ricochet JAWBERAKERS, then JUMP KNEES! Ricochet runs, and CROSSBODIES himself and Sheamus out of the ring! Ricochet then MOONSAULTS, but Sheamus catches him! Sheamus pops Ricochet around to FALL AWAY SLAM Ricochet over the announce desk! The Fella is still seething but standing tall as SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns again and Sheamus is up top! Ricochet stands, Sheamus leaps to FLYING CLOTHESLINE! Ridge wants Sheamus to finish this, and Sheamus drags Ricochet up on the apron. Sheamus CLUBS away for the Beats of the Bodhrain! Sheamus stops at 9, goes out, and he CLOBBERS Ricochet into the ring for 10! Ridge and Sheamus both ask, “Are you not entertained?!” Sheamus then goes inside, kicks Ricochet around and drags Ricochet back up to put him in a corner. Ricochet BOOTS back! Ricochet runs, tilt-o-whirls and DDTs Sheamus down! Ridge looks worried and coaches Sheamus up.

Fans rally, Ricochet slowly gets up and shakes out the cobwebs. Sheamus drags himself up the ropes, Ricochet bobs ‘n’ weaves and throws hands! Ricochet CHOPS, whips, but Sheamus reverses.

Sheamus and Ridge are both frustrated that Ricochet is still in this. Sheamus slaps Ricochet down, goes back to a corner and climbs back up. Ridge cheers his mentor while the fans rally for Ricochet. Ricochet gets Sheamus’ leg but Sheamus CLUBS him down. Sheamus stands up, but Ricochet gets right up there with him! SPANISH FLY!! Cover, TWO!! Sheamus survives and Ridge is relieved. Ricochet drags Sheamus into the drop zone and goes to the corner. Ricochet climbs, Ridge gets up on the apron to distract! Ricochet hops down, dodges Sheamus, Ridge almost gets the Brogue! Sheamus is upset, turns around, RECOIL!! Cover, Ricochet wins!!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

Ridge can’t believe he just cost Sheamus that match! Does the One and Only just have their number? Ridge gets in, apologizes to Sheamus, but Sheamus shoves him away. Sheamus argues with Ridge, then shoves him down! Ridge isn’t listening to his lessons! Ridge keeps trying to apologize, but will his mentor forgive him after he’s cooled off?

 

Backstage interview with Sami Zayn.

Kayla asks Sami about his Intercontinental Championship that he lost over a year ago. With Rick Boogs out of the picture because of “suspiciously faulty wiring,” how- Sami stops her there because he knows what she’s getting at. First and foremost, he had nothing to do with that and accepts no responsibility. But it’s cute how so much Kayla cares. Especially when she, and basically no one in the WWE Universe, has ever cared what happened to Sami. He lost? He did not. He was robbed of it, ousted, overthrown in a coup. And the WWE has done everything they can to keep him from getting it back, and done everything to embarrass Sami!

They’ve blocked Sami’s documentary from releasing. He has been shocked, arrested, put in a wheelchair. It has been the worst year of his life. But none of that matters because tonight will be the best night of his life! He’ll regain HIS Intercontinental Championship! And respectfully, Kayla, please get away so he can center himself. There’s still a lot of time before the main event, will the Great Liberator “center” himself enough to be ready for the King of Strong Style?

 

The Undertaker is entering the WWE Hall of Fame!

Finally, his legendary career will be given the one honor yet to be given! A truly special superstar, a mythological character in the flesh, a truly larger than life Phenom! A 30 year career, transformation and reinvention again and again, a WrestleMania streak that’ll never be replicated, and the respect of everyone, both wrestlers and fans. A true icon that crossed over into the world of entertainment outside of pro-wrestling, perhaps even the greatest of all time. #ThankYouTaker, #YouDeserveIt!

 

Roman Reigns talks with the Usos in his suite.

Whatever it is he is saying, Jimmy & Jey are having a good laugh. But will the Tribal Chief be anything but smiling after tonight’s face-to-face with GOLD~BERG?

 

Jey Uso w/ Jimmy Uso VS Ivar w/ Erik!

The SmackDown Tag Team Champions made one Viking Raider look like a chump when it was Jimmy VS Erik, and then they got the jump on both Viking Raiders and took their headdresses from them! Will things continue on that trend now that we’re seeing the other halves go 1v1? Or will the War Beard bring the raid?

SmackDown returns and the Viking Raiders make their entrance. The bell rings, Jey dodges Ivar to mule kick! Jey storms up to throw body shots in the corner, then haymakers, but lets off as the ref counts 4. Jey taunts Erik but Ivar ROCKS Jey with haymakers and back hands. Ivar whips Jey to a corner, Jey goes up and over and rolls, to come back into a SEATED SENTON! Ivar covers, TWO! Ivar stalks Jey to the ropes, drags him up by his hair, and whips him to scoop and SIDEWALK SLAM! Ivar keeps moving, but Jey avoids the splash! Jey SUPERKICKS Ivar down then covers, TWO! The Usos are annoyed but Jey keeps focus.

Jey throws down haymakers then clamps on a chinlock. Ivar endures but Jey throws crossface forearms. Erik rallies the fans with “RAID!” and Ivar fights up. Jey slips off the fireman’s carry but Ivar cartwheels around him! Ivar blocks the kick, but Jey DRAGON WHIPS through! But then Ivar comes back to LARIAT! Ivar gets up, catches his breath, and he rallies with the fans. Ivar runs corner to corner, BRONCO BUSTER! Ivar goes up top and fans fire up! VIKING SPLASH!! Cover, Jimmy attacks using the headdresses!

Winner: Ivar, by disqualification

Erik ROCKS Jimmy, then takes the headdress to CLOBBER Jimmy! Jimmy & Jey are still on the losing end of this one, but will they win when the gold is on the line?

 

Drew McIntyre heads to the ring!

The Scottish Warrior, his sword in hand, is ready for his Falls Count Anywhere match with Mad Cap Moss. But what will he have to say about that match here tonight? We’ll see, after the break.

SmackDown returns and McIntyre has the mic. “In this job, I’ve gotten to travel to some cool places, live in some cool places, and I used to live in Mandeville, just over the bridge.” He used to hang out in New Orleans all the time, back in 2010 when the Saints won the Super Bowl. The Bourbon Street was wild! The only people that can keep up with Scots when it comes to drinking, is New Orleans. McIntyre ended up in a police car, it wasn’t his fault, but luckily someone recognized him and had him party with them all night long! And McIntyre’s been thinking, reflecting on his career and life. It almost ended because of “Happy” Corbin & “Mad Cap” Moss.

Footage replays from Day One’s attack backstage, where Corbin nearly crushed McIntyre’s throat. McIntyre says that he wanted to play that not for anyone but his benefit. He wants to remember how he felt during that moment, during rehab and how he was told he wouldn’t make it back to WrestleMania. Last year, McIntyre was champion This year, it is personal! But Mad Cap, it is anything goes! McIntyre do whatever he wants! He can beat Moss up in the ring, up the ramp, in the crowd, go backstage, flush his head, take him to the desert, drown him in the Red Sea! The ideas are unlimited! Hell, give McIntyre some help coming up with more!

And today, that means a hashtag! #MadCapMauling! Send McIntyre all your ideas on how he can inflict pain! He’s got a lot of time on the flight to Saudi Arabia! But here comes Corbin & Moss! Corbin wants to stop this. This is ridiculous. McIntyre is coming up with a hashtag to bully Moss, talking about drowning him in the sea! McIntyre, what kind of role model are you to little Scottish kids? Moss hopes McIntyre packs a good neck pillow. From what Moss hears, McIntyre isn’t near 100%. But he’s right about one thing: tomorrow, they can fight all over the place. But the joke’s on McIntyre. And like any good comedian, Moss is great at using the environment.

And after Moss finishes what started on Day One, he and Corbin will be laughing all the way home. And here’s one more joke: “What does Drew McIntyre’s bad neck have in common with a popular breakfast cereal? They both go snap, crackle, pop!” McIntyre says this is actually rather sad. Moss, aside from your terrible jokes, you have all the talent in the world. Yet he aligns with a piece o’ crap like Corbin, and then went after McIntyre. At Elimination Chamber, McIntyre will hurt Moss, end him, and make this Saturday the night laughter died! Will McIntyre do anything and everything he wants to finally shut Moss up?

 

Backstage interview with Shinsuke Nakamura.

Kayla lets him know Sami’s vowed to get the title back. But what’s his plan without having Boogs here? The plan is to kick Sami in the face. He does enough talking. But he thinks he can win the Intercontinental title, so Sami but be InZayn! The King of Strong Style heads out, will he deny Sami the “justice” he’s been seeking?

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Shinsuke Nakamura VS Sami Zayn!

SmackDown returns and Sami makes his entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if the Master Strategist has a legitimate way to take the title back.

The two circle at the bell, feel out the grapple, but then Sami goes to ropes for defense. Nakamura is annoyed but he backs off. Sami comes back, circles with Nakamura again, and feel out the grapple again. Nakamura kicks but Sami manages to get back to ropes. Fans rally behind Nakamura as Sami cools off. They circle, tie up, and Sami waistlocks to a headlock. Nakamura powers Sami to a corner but Sami turns it around. The ref counts, Sami lets off with a cheap shot! Then a haymaker! Sami throws more hands, stomps Nakamura down, then whips Nakamura corner to corner. Nakamura comes back to DYNAMIC DROPKICK!

Fans fire up as Nakamura KICKS and KICKS, but Sami blocks! Nakamura ENZIGURIS! Nakamura throws KNEES into Sami’s head ‘n’ shoulders! Nakamura has Sami in the corner for some Good Vibrations! Or is it bad? Nakamura puts Sami up top and throws body shots. Nakamura then runs in for the TOP SHELF KNEE! Sami flops down to the apron, Nakamura slides out and brings Sami further out. Nakamura runs to KNEE LIFT! Then Nakamura goes up, GUILLOTINE KNEE misses as Sami moves! Nakamura hits the floor and clutches his knee as SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns again and Sami rains down rights on Nakamura’s head! Sami then throws crossface forearms before clamping on a chinlock, even trapping an arm. Nakamura endures and fans rally up. Sami squeezes tight, leans on the hold, but Nakamura gets his arm free. Sami leans all his weight, then pushes Nakamura down for an elbow drop. Cover, TWO! Another, TWO! Another, TWO! Sami is frustrated but he kicks Nakamura around. Fans rally up for Nakamura and Sami mocks their applause. Sami brings Nakamura up to CHOP him! And CHOP! And CHOP! Sami runs and LARIATS Nakamura down! Cover, TWO!

Sami looms over Nakamura, rains down elbows right on Nakamura’s head, then clamps on the chinlock. Nakamura flails, fans rally up more, and Nakamura gets up. Nakamura arm-drags free, then spins around for an ARMBAR TAKEDOWN! Sami flails, moves around, makes it a cover, TWO! Sami is free, but Nakamura counter punches! And again! Nakamura fires off a strike fest, then the AX KICK! SLIDING KNEE! Sami flounders to a corner, Nakamura bumps him off buckles. Nakamura goes corner to corner but blocks knees. He puts Sami in the ropes, CLUBS him, then runs to SLIDING GERMAN!

Fans fire up with Nakamura as he gets back in. Cover, TWO! Sami shakes out the cobwebs but Nakamura is on him with a chinlock of his own. Nakamura drags Sami up but Sami fights the clinch with elbow after elbow after elbow! Sami tries now, but Nakamura returns those elbows! And then a knee! Nakamura runs, but Sami scoops for a MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Nakamura survives! Sami hurries but Nakamura flops out of the ring. Sami knows he can only win the title in the ring, so he goes out the side, runs in, DAREDEVIL BOOT from Nakamura! Sami tried to go back in time but flops to the floor!

Nakamura refreshes the ring count, takes aim, but Sami sends the Kinshasa into the steel steps! Nakamura is clutching that knee again as SmackDown goes to another break!

SmackDown returns yet again, and Sami lets off in a corner, but then stomps away on the bad leg again! The ref counts, Sami lets off at 4, and then he SLAPS Nakamura. Fans chant, “Sami Sucks!” as Sami puts Nakamura up top. Sami climbs and stands Nakamura up, but Nakamura fires off elbows! Nakamura knocks Sami down, Nakamura hits a FLYING KNEE! Cover, TWO! Nakamura is growing frustrated while Sami sits up in a daze. Nakamura stands him up, Sami ducks one kick but not the WHEEL KICK! Nakamura goes to the corner, takes aim, “YAO~!” But Sami dropkicks the legs out! Then gets Nakamura up, BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!

Sami looks to the ref in frustration but he accepts the count. Nakamura drags himself to a corner, Sami storms over and fires off hands. Sami boxes Nakamura, stomps him, but the ref gets him to stop. Sami mocks Nakamura, “C’MON~!” Sami stomps Nakamura more, but Nakamura gets up and has the leg! Nakamura ROCKS Sami with fast hands and knees and kicks! Nakamura has Sami on the ropes, kicks him more and more while hearing the count, and lets off at 4. Nakamura then tells Sami, “C’MON~!” Sami get sup, into a ROUNDHOUSE! Sami staggers, Nakamura pushes him down to kick him more and more.

The ref counts again, Nakamura again stops at 4. Nakamura aims and powers up, “YAO~!” KIN- NO, Sami bails right out! Nakamura stops and is frustrated again, but he reaches at Sami from the ropes. Sami trips Nakamura and SLAMS the leg against the post! And again! And again! The ref reprimands but Sami just slams the leg over and over and over! Sami finally lets off, slithers in, and catches the kick to BOOT the other leg! Cover, SAMI WINS!

Winner: Sami Zayn, by pinfall (NEW WWE Intercontinental Champion)

No one can believe it! A deep leg hook finishes Nakamura off! Sami had a master plan all along, and it worked out in his favor!

 

WWE celebrate Black History Month.

Booker T visited the For Oak Cliff Community Center in the Oak Cliff Dallas area. For Oak Cliff was founded by Taylor Toynes and Xavier Henderson, two young men who grew up in the area and even worked as teachers before founding the organization. They want to build the community up through their four pillars: education, advocacy, community building, and art. They serve all ages, and have served more than 30 THOUSAND community members, and have distributed 4 MILLION pounds of food.

 

Aliyah congratulates Ricochet backstage.

She’s very impressed with that huge win over Sheamus. She’s never seen anything like that! He thanks her for that, and it felt good. Sheamus is a former US Champion, WWE World Champion, and for some reason, he’s just been trying to make Ricochet miserable. But after winning, Ricochet realizes Sheamus’ past could be his future. This was one step forward, so yeah, it was good. Ricochet leaves, but Sami walks over and says if they wanna talk about big wins, what about the Intercontinental Championship? He just won it back! Talk later! Sami asks people around if they want autographs and pictures. Will Sami’s big win just inflate that ego?

 

Roman Reigns heads to the ring!

The Tribal Chief, with Paul Heyman carrying the belt for him, is a 536 DAY WWE Universal Champion, the longest reigning world champion of the last 35 YEARS in the WWE. He holds up that title and the pyro goes off. Then he and Heyman continue towards the ring, Heyman of course holding the title up as a banner. The Head of the Table will have one more face-to-face encounter with the Icon, GOLD~BERG, but will it be civil? We’ll see, after the break.

SmackDown returns and Roman is in the ring, and he holds up the belt to cue more pyro. Heyman has a mic in hand, and he passes it to Roman. Roman smiles, and says, “New Orleans… Acknowledge me.” Many of the fans seem happy to, but others still refuse. Roman hears the chants for his name, but also the chants for “GOLD~BERG!” Roman wants “The Wiseman” to celebrate him. Heyman speaks, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the best part of my day, because I know none of you understand what it’s like to stand this close to true greatness, but I? I find it spiritually orgasmic.

“If you never got a chance to see, in his prime, Michael Jordan. If you never got to see, in his prime, Wayne Gretzky. If you never got a chance to see, in his prime, Drew Brees, then you didn’t miss a damn thing cuz he played for the Saints.” But if you never got to see Tom Brady in his prime, then does Heyman have a gift for you. But the fans chant, “Who dey? Who dey?” Heyman and Roman wait it out. The 11th Commandment on the Island of Relevancy, “Thou Shalt Not Interrupt the Wiseman’s Promo.”

But 14 hours from now, it is your opportunity to see, in his prime, at his best, in the ring, doing what he does to continue to cement his GOAT status! YOUR Tribal Chief, YOUR Head of the Table! The End All Be All, the Undisputed Universal Heavyweight Champion, Roman… Reigns! Fans do cheer for that. But here comes GOLD~BERG! He has his security detail through the hallway before he walks out on stage for his pyro. Goldberg then gets in the ring, gets himself a mic, but then drops it! Roman smirks at that, and says, “I was going to give you one last chance to acknowledge me, but…” Goldberg steps closer. And then closer.

Fans are fired up and chanting “GOLD~BERG!” as loud as they can. Goldberg smirks now, and takes one more step closer. Roman doesn’t want Goldberg crowding him. Roman runs things around here, so Goldberg is either here to fight or talk. Which is it? Roman hands Goldberg his mic, and Goldberg says, “Tomorrow, 12 o’clock, I gotta apologize in front of all these wonderful people in the entire world, I was wrong. You’re not next. When it comes to the Universal Championship, I’M NEXT!” Goldberg has said his piece, but will he be leaving Elimination Chamber in one piece? Or will Roman force Goldberg to acknowledge him?


My Thoughts:

This episode was about the same as last week’s episode, so it was like we got two subpar go-homes in a row for SmackDown. Only three matches, a lot of recaps to fill time, but I did really like that Undertaker vignette to officially announce his Hall of Fame induction. We got a pretty good contract signing segment for the women’s tag we’re getting at Elimination Chamber. Ronda & Naomi were giving Charlotte & Sonya some real good sass, and it does kinda play in the twist Sonya revealed about Ronda having one arm restrained. That’ll make for an interesting match, but I feel like Ronda & Naomi still find a way to win, and I bet Sonya takes the loss.

The Viking Raiders finally get going with Ivar’s win over Jey, but they still don’t look likely to win the tag titles. They should’ve been given much more in this build but Vince doesn’t like tag wrestling as much these days, and he has been doing all kinds of things to try and hinder Erik & Ivar, such as renaming them Erik & Ivar. If only they got to be War Raiders, Ray Rowe & Hanson. We got a pretty good promo segment out of McIntyre, Moss and Corbin, and honestly, Moss’ joke here was the best joke he’s ever told. But I like that McIntyre wants some fan interaction to hype this match, and I hope their Falls Count Anywhere really does explore the arena quite a bit.

Sheamus VS Ricochet was very good, and it was a good move for Ricochet to win. There’s tension between Sheamus and Ridge now, and I would think at some point, those two split up. Ridge should really be the one to dump Sheamus, he shouldn’t have even needed to be in this role in the first place, and this is probably his chance to strike out on his own on SmackDown. Aliyah congratulating Ricochet made me think they were bringing Mustafa Ali back into things given how those three were interacting when Aliyah first showed up. Instead, Sami gloats about his own win. Sami VS Nakamura was a great match, but could’ve been even better if there weren’t recap fillers.

Honestly, there’s a way the face-to-face of Roman and Goldberg could’ve been shorter. I get it’s all in Roman’s character to take his time, but in case you didn’t know, this wasn’t actually a live episode. This was recorded with last week’s episode in New Orleans, because how else could the SmackDown team make it to Saudi Arabia in time? They didn’t need a commercial break during Roman’s entrance, and honestly, Goldberg could’ve been defiant by interrupting things and just getting to that final line. Then whatever time that would’ve saved can be given to Nakamura VS Sami.

My Score: 8.2/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 3.28.2024

TNA tapings from Philly! Knockouts Number 1 Contender is decided! Rich Swann explains his heel turn and Chris Sabin vs Steve Maclin in the main event!

Published

on

Hey, even if Xplosion has been a complete waste of 45 minutes, last week’s iMPACT! showed some promise with this newer direction at least. We’re getting a return of the 8 for 1 match for the Knockouts World Title. So we’ll get a number one contender for Jordynne Grace, apparently Chris Sabin and Steve Maclin have a match, but we get some answers from Rich Swann on his heel turn.

Time to see what else we have going on!

Ratings:

  • 8 for 1 Match: Rosemary, Dani Luna,  Xia Brookside & Steph DeLander vs Havok, Jody Threat, Masha Slamovich & Alisha Edwards: Dani wins via Schoolgirl Roll-Up – **
  • Dani Luna vs Steph DeLander vs Xia Brookside vs Rosemary: Steph wins via TKO – * 1/2
  • Grizzled Young Vets (James Drake & Zack Gibson) vs Cody Deaner: GYV wins via Grit Your Teeth – SQUASH
  • Josh Alexander vs Tracy Williams: Josh wins via C4 Spike – ***1/4
  • Mike Bailey w/Trent Seven vs Eddie Edwards w/Brian Myers & Alisha Edwards: Eddie Edwards wins via Boston Knee Party – *** 1/2
  • Steve Maclin vs Chris Sabin: Maclin wins via KIA – *** 1/2

 

Results:

8 for 1 Match: Rosemary, Dani Luna,  Xia Brookside & Steph DeLander vs Havok, Jody Threat, Masha Slamovich & Alisha Edwards

So this is a random tag pairing, which the winning team than faces each other in a Fatal Four Way for Number One Contender position; that explains why half of Decay and Spitfire are on opposite teams. 

Steph faces off with Havok first but tags out to Rosemary to try and shirk responsibility, but Rosemary and Havok work together to level Steph and then Rosemary tags back out to purposefully bring DeLander back into the match. Havok throws Steph around a bit, even Lish gets in some offense, most notably her Bodyscissors Bulldog, but Steph tags out to Dani, Dani and Masha go after each other and then the match slowly starts to break down.

Dani hits the Rope Assisted Blue Thunder Bomb on Masha for 2, and starts looking for the Luna Landing. Masha slips it and we go into a bit of a locomotion Cradle spot which Dani gets the best of and wins the tag for her team!

Dani Luna vs Steph DeLander vs Xia Brookside vs Rosemary

As the match is getting set up, Masha attacks Dani to wipe her out. So the other three start fighting, Xia charges a corner, gets ole’d and she flies into ASH by Elegance who was seated at ringside because she had cosmetic surgery and couldn’t wrestle. ASH posts Xia, gets banished from ringside by the referee, back in the ring Rosemary does her rise from the dead spot and looks to finish Steph but Matt Cardona comes out of nowhere, hits the Radio Silence, Steph DeLander hits the TKO for the easy 1-2-3.

Steph DeLander is number one contender and Matt Cardona is back! Not a terrible wrinkle. The match barely existed but at least these returns are nice. 

GYV hits the ring to complain about Cody Deaner costing them the match against Time Splitters last week. So they call him out and he’s out in Red and Yellow trailer park Flash attire. Santino apparently is allowing Deaner to pick one of the GYV members to fight. Philly picks both, so Deaner attacks both. 

Grizzled Young Vets (James Drake & Zack Gibson) vs Cody Deaner

Cody gets the best of Drake early but then the GYV work over Deaner a bit early, Gibson starts talking smack and Deaner tries to Hulk Up, and it seemingly works. Combination Punches, Manhattan Drop, Corner Bulldog, tries the Deaner DDT, but Gibson cuts him off with a throat chop.

Drake uses the scarf to take advantage of the referee not looking, and then some Grit Your Teeth gives the GYV a win.

Josh Alexander walks out again to be the Talking Weapon…and yeah, not really a big fan of when he speaks. He’s dressed to wrestle so lets hope its an open challenge or a Philadelphia Drink Off with Sandman showing up…or something. Just not a lot of talking, please. OH GOOD, open challenge. Josh calls out Hammerstone, but he gets some Hot Sauce instead of Hammers.

Josh Alexander vs Tracy Williams

As expected with these two, early World of Sport style open with some chain wrestling into athletic counter wrestling and shrugging off both men’s first attempt at submissions. They both take a beat, then we go into a Chop Battle, Williams slows Josh with a Kitchen Sink, but Josh grabs him in the Vertical Suplex and then spill over the ropes. Josh is back in first, Williams tries to crawl up, eats a strike and then eats Josh’s Low Crossbody spot. So now Josh starts dogwalking Williams around the outside.

Josh throws him back in, drives a knee into his face, but as Williams tries to fight back, Josh stops all of that with a Northern Lights Suplex Hold for 2. Josh goes for a Heel Hook to weaken the ankle for a potential Ankle Lock. So just early joint manipulation and Back Breakers from Josh leaves Williams writhing and absorbing so much…not really fighting back much. Tracy tries a desperation short Headbutt to the gut like he’s Spike Dudley, but it seems to just annoy Josh. A few traded Overhand Chops, C4 Spike attempt but Tracy drops his weight. Josh gets a little arrogant, starts with a few half assed slaps and it allows Tracy to fire a few strike, Back Drop Suplex, drives Josh into the corner and sets up the Avalanche Butterfly Suplex. Tracy goes for a submission but Josh is too close to the ropes.

With all of Williams’ offense, Josh manages to fire through and land an Exploder Suplex to rock Tracy. A few more big moves from Josh, into the Power Breaker seems to give Josh all of the momentum. C4 Spike again, Back Drop counter, Back Elbow and Tracy tries a corner set up but Josh cuts him off and they start fighting on the top. Williams counters the Superplex, DDT into the top corner buckle, Death Valley Driver into an STF, then Crossface but Josh is fighting. Piledriver attempt from Williams, straight right says no, Release German Suplex, straps go down but Tracy kicks Josh in the face. They trade Big Boots, Josh with a Backslide into the C4 Spike for the win!

Both these guys chant kicks up, Josh offers the handshake, they go for the corny Indie respect moment and Hammerstone hits the ring and lays them both out. Hammer puts the head gear on Tracy and throws him into the Torture Rack. 

This might be Ali’s best promo ever.

Mike Bailey w/Trent Seven vs Eddie Edwards w/Brian Myers & Alisha Edwards

I do really like The System’s theme song. 

Eddie goes for the NOAH Chop, Bailey ducks the first one and tries to keep things quick, but Eddie catches him and caves in his chest real quick. Front Kick from Bailey into the Back Handspring that culminates into a Gamengiri, Eddie powders and Speedball goes for the Tope con Hilo. Arm Wringer into a Round Kick to the chest. Bailey breaks the count, eats a chop and then get go into a kicks and chops trading spot. Myers provides enough of a distraction since they’re on the outside so Eddie scoops Bailey and Blue Thunder Bomb on the apron.

Another count reset, this time from Eddie and the Chops continue from Eddie. Eventually Eddie throws Bailey back into the ring, very unceremoniously, drops a knee to the eyes and goes for 3 pinfalls in quick succession. Fingers to the eyes, chops to the chest, Backpack Stunner attempt but Speedball wriggles free and John Woo Dropkick gives him some space. Spinning Back Kick, Axe Kick, Round Kick, Running Shooting Star, for 2! Speedball slaps his chest to try and send a message while he starts lighting up Eddie with about half a dozen Round Kicks to the chest. He then goes for the Lightning Kicks while Eddie is on the ropes, Myers pulls out Eddie, Bailey attempts a dive but puts the brakes on, acts like he’s distracted by Myers but avoid Eddie’s sneak attack. Kick to the face into a Corkscrew Asai Moonsault, back in the ring, Tornado Kick from Bailey, goes for Ultima Weapon but he eats a Gamengiri into the Backpack Stunner for 2!

Both men rise, Chop from Bailey sends him on his ass, and we go back to kicks versus chops. Bailey with the combination kicks, tries the Buzzsaw but Eddie moves, Lariat! Tiger Driver attempt, but Bailey says no, Backflip Knees gives Bailey all the momentum. He tries the Tornado set up, Myers and Alisha get involved but Trent Seven nullifes Myers, Bailey with the Double Clutch Superkick to rock Eddie, he goes back to the Tornado set up but Lish grabs his feet, Bailey fights her off, drops Eddie, goes for Ultima Weapon but misses! Boston Knee Party to the back of Bailey’s head, Eddie wins!

There’s a quick video package for the FBI next week. Not sure if that means we only see Guido, or if Vito and others will show up.

Rich homie Swann and AJ Francis show up and I’m fairly sure he named them “First Class”. They keep saying AJ Francis in the same cadence as AJ Styles, so I get what they’re doing there. And Swann basically says AJ was the only one who cared about how Rich was doing, Hendry just stole his thunder and did nothing. “If you ain’t First Class, you’re last” – Talladega Nights references? Well now.

Steve Maclin vs Chris Sabin

Mostly an uneventful start, a few moments from both men, Sabin speeds things up when he ducks out and baits Maclin to try the Scud Missile, but he outsmarts him by sliding back in. Maclin doesn’t full commit to the dive but does roll out a little hard which gives Sabin the chance to jump on him. Baseball Slide, Wristlock over the ring post, throws him back in and looks for a Grounded Top Wristlock. Sabin acting a bit more like Shelley with the joint focus, but Maclin manages to use the ropes to his advantage and bounce Sabin off of them twice.

Maclin finally has some control, Forearm to the low back, drapes Sabin on the middle rope and drives the knee into the back of his head. Maclin lays in some chops, grounds any of Sabin’s attempts and locks in a Chin Lock. Sabin finally fires up , but Maclin hits the Olympic Slam to stifle Sabin’s attempts. Maclin perches Sabin, tries the Superplex but a few punches and a bite gives Sabin an opening and Sabin connects with the Missile Dropkick. Manhattan Drop into a Crucifix cover for 2, Swinging Neckbreaker causes Maclin to retreat to the corner and Sabin focuses a few Forearms to the back of the head and a Snap DDT.

A few wild swings from Maclin give Sabin a gift, so he goes for the Crossface. Maclin barely rolls tot he ropes to break the hold, powders out and moves out of the way of the Plancha. BUSAIKU KNEE to level Sabin. Jar-Headbutt for a near fall! Maclin Tree of Woes Sabin, Caught in the Crosshairs, Sabin sits up but Maclin knows how to avoid the post. A small back and forth, Mayhem for All and only a 2 count! Jar-Headbutt number two misses, La Magistral for only 2, both collide with lariats and then go into the Fighting Spirit spot. Slugfest but Sabin hits a Sole Butt, Sabin tries to continue but Maclin coldcocks Sabin sending him to the outside, Scud Missile Dive – MISSES! Maclin is laid out on the outside, count out starts, Sabin is back in around 6, Maclin barely beats the 10. Springboard Tornado DDT from Sabin for a near fall!

Cradle Shock attempt, but Maclin fights it off. Sabin jumps, misses, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs! Maclin tries the KIA but Sabin turns it into a Wrestler’s Bridge Pinfall for only 2, but Maclin holds on to the arms, connects with the KIA and wins!

 

Overall Score: 7/10

Well aside from the fact the opening match was a little bit of a hectic mess and Kon is still a storyline relevant thing…the better portion of the episode was pretty fun. I didn’t love the allusions to Santino handing out rights to challenge and open challenge vouchers, felt like a weird “authority” figure kind of spin. But when he finally showed up and continued to be the lovable goof, its all good.

Ali had his best promo ever, “Mr Rhinoceros”, was a great way to spin into the conversation with Rhyno. Sabin steering more into Shelley’s bag of tricks and still coming up short is interesting. Steph DeLander with the big return win and bringing Cardona back with her is generally a fun angle. Speedball looked awesome and Hammerstone did a great job looking like a massive douche and executing the best Torture Rack since Lex Luger.

Of course there’s a few gripes, but all in all, it was pretty fun.

PLAY BY PLAY

Athena VS Nikita!

The Fallen Goddess was stressed out watching Hikaru Shida tune up for Supercard of Honor, so she’s getting back in the ring to work through that. Will Athena prove this is still her show? Or can The Russian Vixxen take advantage of Shida being on Athena’s mind?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and then Athena rushes in! Nikita dodges to rally with lariats and a SLINGBLADE! The fans rally, Nikita runs in at the corner and she SPLASHES, to then BULLDOG! Athena gets spiked and Nikita gets fired up! Nikita brings Athena up, underhooks, then PEDIGREES! Cover, ONE?!? Athena is tough but Nikita is still surprised. Nikita storms up but is sent into buckles! Nikita stops herself just in time, and she ROCKS Athena! Nikita brings Athena in while she goes up the corner, for a HANGING HEADSCISSOR! The ref counts, Nikita lets off, but Athena gets mad!

Athena DIVES and wipes Nikita out against barriers! Athena is mad now, and she brings Nikita up to THROW her into railing! Athena shouts at Nikita, then wheelbarrows to SWING her into barriers! Athena says you’re welcome and takes a bow, then she goes back for Nikita. Athena puts Nikita in, looms over her while soaking up cheers and jeers, then stalks Nikita as she crawls. Athena hauls Nikita up, CLUBS her again and again, then underhooks for a BUTTERFLY SWING! Athena TOSSES Nikita away, drags her up, and then HALF HATCH SLAMS! Nikita is dazed, but Athena sits her up. Athena ties up the legs and puts on a STANDING CROSSFACE! Nikita taps, Athena wins!

Winner: Athena, by submission

Ahead of crossing swords with the Shining Samurai, the ROH Women’s World Champion is sharpening her edge. As such, she SHOTGUNS Nikita back down! The fans boo as Athena CLUBS away on Nikita! Athena then puts Nikita in the Tree of Woe and lifts her up, to KICK away on Nikita’s back! Athena takes the belt, puts it in front of Nikita’s face, and she trots as she takes aim. But wait! Here comes Shida! The fans fire up as Athena runs away! Shida helps Nikita out of the Tree, then picks up the belt Athena left behind! She even dares Athena to come get it back! Is Shida going to be the one that finally dethrones the Overlord? Or will Athena make sure “forever champion” means forever?

 

Backstage interview with Lee Johnson.

Renee Paquette is here to talk with Big Shotty, and notes his impressive 2024 streak. He asked for this time, so what’s going on? Lee says that he has said it before and he will proudly say it again. He is not here to take part, he is here to take over! And now let him add something else: he is here to take titles! Now, he has heard there’s an ROH World Television Championship match between one champion in Kyle Fletcher and All Heart, Blake Christian. Now, whoever comes out victorious, Lee’s calling his shot! Supercard of Honor, Big Shotty’s got next! Lee is ready to swing for the fences, is he going to get his chance to hit it out of the park?

 

Dalton Castle VS Nick Comoroto!

The Peacock is still in his slump, and not even his substitute Boys are enough. Meanwhile, did the Freak Beast really shave his beard? Then which change will be the more hindering? Castle without Brandon & Brent, or Comoroto with Jacoby Watts?

The Code of Honor is upheld, and in tight quarters, and the bell rings. The fans rally for Castle as he and Comoroto circle. Castle squats low, real low, then he rushes up to collar ‘n’ elbow! Comoroto powers Castle right to a corner, the ref counts, and Comoroto lets off at 4. Comoroto makes the pecs dance and then flicks sweat at Castle. Castle storms right up, and he, uh, “hip” checks Comoroto! Comoroto gives it back! Comoroto smirks but Castle gets those hips moving. Then he hits the low leg takedown! He rolls Comoroto then CLUBS away on him! Comoroto gets free, kicks low, then ROCKS Castle with a haymaker!

Comoroto bumps Castle off buckles then RAMS into him again and again and again! The ref counts, Comoroto whips Castle but Castle reverses to TOSS Comoroto! Comoroto holds on and he manages to skin the cat! A big cat at that, but Castle waistlocks! Comoroto holds onto ropes to stop the lift, then he backs Castle into a corner. Comoroto throws elbows, gets space and comes back, but into a BOOT! Castle runs up, into a LARIAT! The fans rally, Comoroto huffs and puffs and brings Castle up. Comoroto reels Castle in, but Castle Alabama Lifts! Comoroto CLUBS Castle down then shoves him away.

Comoroto swings but Castle blocks to ROCK him first! Castle fires more forearms, but Comoroto shoves him away. Comroto runs up, Castle gets around, BIG GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up, Comoroto staggers to his feet, and into an Alabama Lift! BANGAAAAAA~RANG! Cover, Castle wins!

Winner: Dalton Castle, by pinfall

Comoroto is a big man, so this was a big win for The Peacock! But wait, here comes Taya Valkyrie! And she tells Castle, “How dare you say that we are irresponsible! Yeah, we lost The Boys. But after the short time we had them, I realized how rude and annoying they are! So, I’m glad we lost them! Because they were a couple of BAD boys!” The fans boo but Taya says yeah, she went there! And they probably got it from Castle! Because Castle never loved them! Not like Mommy & Daddy TV loved them! So for that, Castle deserves this! Sneak attack by Johnny TV! MOONLIGHT DRIVE and a SHINING WIZARD!

Johnny rains down fists on Castle, then says they were BAD boys! Castle set a bad example for them! They’re all losers! The fans boo but Mr. & Mrs. TV just stand over Castle to make out! Then they stomp Castle on their way out! Even as he wins matches, will Castle still be lost in life with The Boys lost in the woods of Canada?

 

Mark Briscoe speaks.

“Philadelphia. For #DemBoys, that is the origin of professional wrestling. That’s when we felt it. That’s when we said this is in our soul, man.” Jay himself once said, “This is what we was created to do, man.” Baddest tag team on the planet, almost a quarter century, and BOOM, it gets taken away in a moment. So Mark’s starting over from square one, flying solo. Continental Classic, the game plan was to get on top, and to soar! But his wings were clipped, humbled once again. But there’s this voice inside of him, it’s Jay’s voice, that says, “Don’t worry about that broken wing, son. You was born to fly. With wings like an eagle, we gonna mount up.”

Mark knows Eddie Kingston’s got that same voice inside of him. “Ain’t that some s*it?” Mark knows Eddie’s had the highs and lows, the peaks and valleys, just like Mark. Eddie became the first American Triple Crown Champion, took on all comers defending that, but then lost to the AEW Continental Championship to Kazuchika Okada. Eddie talked to his mentor, Homicide, and agreed that it is time to tap into something from the past. Into that hungry Eddie, that ruthless Eddie, that vicious Eddie. The Eddie with that dog in him! That Pitbull! Every yard has a top dog, but Eddie, you may be ROH World Champion, but Mark’s gonna show you in Philly that MARK is top dog!

April 5th marks 11 years to the day that brother Jay won his first ROH World Championship. And just like he told Mark, time to man up. Eddie, it is time to man up. Philly, it is time to man up! Mark Briscoe VS Eddie Kingston, ROH World Championship, Supercard of Honor, we will man up. But who will be the man that holds up that title at the end of the night?

 

Diamante VS Kiera Hogan!

The Cuban Diamond won big in a Four Corner Survival, and she won in the opening round of the ROH Women’s World Television Championship tournament. Both of those losses only served to fan the flames, and now Kiera wants to turn up the heat! Will Kiera get her lick back? Or does Diamante just have Kiera’s number?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, Diamante headlocks, and she grinds the hold. Kiera powers up but can’t power out as Diamante holds tight. Kiera tries again, but Diamante still keeps the headlock on. Kiera throws body shots, powers out again and is free, but Diamante runs her over! Cover, ONE, and the two stand off. The fans rally as the two reset and go again. Kiera headlocks this time, dares Diamante to keep that same energy now, but Diamante grinds her forearm into Kiera’s face. Diamante powers out but Kiera runs her over! “And that’s all, periodt!”

The fans rally as the two reset again. Kiera wants that Miami heat, so the two tie up again. Kiera wrenches an arm, wristlocks, but Diamante rolls, kips up and wrenches back. Diamante wristlocks then hammerlocks, then spins Kiera for a snapmare. Diamante clamps on with a chinlock and she grinds Kiera down. Kiera fights up, pries the hold open, and fans cheer as she wrenches back. Kiera uses the hammerlock to wrangle Diamante, then she bridges over! Diamante endures, so Kiera floats to a facelock. Diamante gator rolls free and wrenches Kiera to a top mounted armlock! Kiera endures and the fans rally again.

Kiera fights up, wrenches and wristlocks, but Diamante goes to ropes. The ref counts, Kiera lets off quickly, and the armbands come off! They tie up, Kiera wrenches and wristlocks. Diamante ROCKS Kiera! Kiera falls, Diamante stomps her, then drags her up to ROCK her again! Diamante ROCKS Kiera one more time, then runs the ropes, but into a BOOT! And ROUNDHOUSE! Cover, TWO! Diamante stays in this and she kicks right back. Diamante whips, Kiera ducks ‘n’ whips to then drop and trip Diamante! Kiera keeps moving, STEP-UP LEG DROP! Cover, TWO! Diamante sputters and goes to a corner but Kiera eggs her on.

Kiera fires forearms now, then whips corner to corner. Diamante hits buckles hard, then Kiera fires up. The fans rally behind her as she runs in, but Diamante drop toeholds her into buckles! Diamante then stomps away on Kiera in the corner! The ref counts, Diamante lets off at 4, and she drags Kiera up to put her against buckles. Diamante stomps some more, then goes corner to corner and back again, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Diamante drags Kiera to the cover, TWO! Keira stays in this and Diamante is annoyed. Diamante sits Kiera up and traps an arm before she clamps on, cording hold and SHOULDER CLAW!

Kiera endures this modified cobra twist, and Diamante even grinds her forearm into Kiera’s face. The fans rally as Kiera fights up. Kiera throws body shots, ROCKS Diamante, but Diamante RAMS Kiera into the corner! And RAMS her again! Then CHOPS! Diamante puts Kiera up top, ROCKS her, then ROCKS her again! Diamante climbs up to throw more shots, and then brings her up. The fans rally while Kiera blocks the suplex! Kiera throws body shots, then shoves Diamante away! Diamante comes back, but Kiera MISSILE DROPKICKS her! Diamante tumbles and the fans rally while both women are down.

Kiera pounds the mat to fire up again. She nods as she rises, the fans behind her. Kiera runs up to CLOBBER Diamante! And she CLOBBERS her again! Diamante swings, Kiera blocks to snapmare and “EAT IT!” SUPERKICK! The fans fire up as Kiera goes Around the World to HIP ATTACK! Then side to side, BOOT WASH! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Diamante gets a bit lucky and Kiera is frustrated. Kiera fireman’s carries but Diamante fights it. Then she CLAWS Kiera’s eyes! CHOP BLOCK! Diamante fires up now, she dragon sleepers, and says goodnight. But Kiera throws knees to say not yet!

Kiera snapmares free, runs up, SUPERKICK! Diamante flounders, Kiera hauls her up, FACE THE MUSIC! Bridging cover, Kiera wins!

Winner: Kiera Hogan, by pinfall

The swinging fisherman neckbreaker punctuates this one, periodt! Kiera wants to be the first in line to face the inaugural ROH Women’s World Television Champion, but just who will it be? The Queen of Guinea, Queen Aminata? Or Athena’s protege, Billie Starkz?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Supercard of Honor!

It’s already a big night with the title matches, including the crowning of the first-ever ROH Women’s World TV Champion, but now even Stardom is getting in on the action! It will be a Six Woman Tag as Mina Shirakawa, Maika & Mei Seira take on Saya Kamitani, Tam Nakano & AZM!

 

Hikaru Shida speaks.

“In AEW, I won Woman’s World title three times, I beat Toni Storm, I beat Saraya, Willow, Anna Jay, almost everyone. I need stimulation! And so do you. Right, Athena? Do you remember the moment we faced each other in the ring last year? I know you’ve been excited! I know fans have been excited! But… the person who has been excited most is me. Excited to beat up the ‘forever champ.’ So, hello, ROH! Be ready for a new era. Because Holy Shida has arrived!” The Shining Samurai is ready, but will she be able to cut down the Fallen Goddess?

 

ROH World Television Championship: Kyle Fletcher VS Blake Christian!

As Supercard of Honor approaches, it is about time the Protostar returned to ROH TV. But will this return be less than triumphant? Or will All Heart be an easy target for the Aussie Arrow?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who heads for Philly!
