PLAY BY PLAY

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn come to the ring!

SmackDown’s Best Friends have gotten away with a lot since reuniting, including last week when The Prizefighter’s Guardian Angel found a loophole around the Commissioner’s ringside ban. This would result in Kevin winning over The Viper, Randy Orton, and essentially rubbing Shane McMahon’s plan in his face. As for tonight in San Diego, Sami & Kevin welcome you to the Kevin & Sami Show! When someone is as great an athlete as Kevin, which Sami also is, you never stop learning. And when you’re the target of a McMahon Fmaily Vendetta, they’ll stop at nothing to get revenge. The fans tell the friends “You Suck!” but they’re ignored. Ask Daniel Bryan or Bret Hart or even Stone Cold Steve Austin about the McMahon bias. Or just ask these two, because these two are better than those three guys combined. They are the latest objects of the McMahon wrath, and it is exemplified by Shane O’Mac’s actions. He supposedly has the fans’ interests at heart but he tried to end Kevin’s career. Funny, McMahon family history tends to repeat itself. Randy Orton was Shane’s weapon, just like he was Stephanie’s weapon! Orton has been handed his opportunities while others have had to scratch and claw. Shane can’t stand that his team failed at Survivor Series so he needs someone else to do his dirty work! At the most embarrassing part: Shane’s plans didn’t work! When Kevin saw Shane do his little dance, Kevin knew what he had to do. No Disqualifications, Sami barred from ringside, and Kevin knew he had to beat Orton up so bad that he could no longer be an option for Shane. Check! Kevin had to show he was not afraid of Orton or SmackDown’s vendetta. Double Check. Kevin had to outsmart Shane McMahon. Triple Check! And it wasn’t that hard when Shane is “so blinded by his own short comings.” Shane has been born and bred in WWE, but even the best need a reminder. Shane, listen closely: right now, Sami is in the ring. Following so far? Okay now Sami rolls out of the ring, “ringside”. And that includes the terrible announce team, the time keeper area, the front row of fans–not the most pleasant sight tonight; you boo cuz it’s true–and then… Oh, this line here, that’s the end of ringside! It is where Sami beat Orton down with a steel chair! And it might be heinous or cowardly, but it wasn’t ringside. So Shane should choose his words more carefully. Shane shouldn’t try to get Kevin & Sami to conform. The irony is, Sami & Kevin used the system! Check. They won! Double Check. RKO OUTTA NOWHERE!

Orton puts Kevin down, Sami is at a loss for what to do! And here comes the money~! Shane O’Mac is here, and thanks Sami for explaining things. But Shane is here to clear things up. A personal vendetta against Sami & Kevin? Not true. Disrespect because Kevin & Sami weren’t at Survivor Series? Well to make up for that, they will get to be part of Clash of Champions, in a tag team match against the team of… Randy Orton! And his partner of his choosing. But Sami’s so ready to go tonight, so San Diego gets to have a 1v1 match of Sami Zayn VS… Randy Orton! And Kevin can be ringside, because he’ll be handcuffed to the ropes! Good luck! Can SmackDown’s best friends survive a night with The Viper?

 

Sami & Kevin are freaking out backstage.

What happened? What did Shane say? Sami is in a match against Orton. Then that’s good! You can get even! Wait, is Kevin banned from ringside? Worse, you are ringside, handcuffed to a rope! What?! What is this crap!? This is inhumane! And embarrassing! Kevin has a fix for this. How? What? Kevin’s gonna talk to Daniel Bryan. Can the SmackDown GM help these two out?

 

The New Day VS Rusev & Aiden English!

One team brings the Power of Positivity, the other team brings the power of RUSEV DAY~! Which is every day. And San Diego agrees! But December means the 12 Days of Rusev. On the first day of Rusev, my partner gave to me~, a tag team victory~! On the second day of Rusev, my partner gave to me~, two Rusev shirts!

And a tag team victory~! On the third day, San Diego~! Don’t you dare be sour! Clap for your world famous four time champs, and feel~ the powah~! With GIANT pancakes.

The bell rings, and the Drama King starts against Big E. They tie up but English throws hands, waistlock but Big E too big to lift. Big E swivels, then tosses English off, tag to Kofi for the running Penalty Kick! Cover, ONE, Kofi brings English up but English gives body shots and whips. Kofi boots back, then double jump crossbody, TWO. Kofi ducks a punch to give a jumping clothesline, then gets going for the Boom Drop, but Rusev bails English out. The two regroup outside, Kofi fakes them out. The New Day controls the ring while Team Rusev Day regroups.

We go picture in picture as the referee has the New Day calm down and return to their corner. Rusev gives English advice before he gets back in the ring. English tags Rusev, and now Rusev circles with Kofi. The two tie up, Rusev kicks then arm wrenches, then yanks on that arm to bring Kofi to his knees. Another yank, another wrench, KOfi fights back. Kofi wrenches Rusev’s arm in return, going for an armlock to keep Rusev down. Another wrench and a knee, Rusev gives a knee back and whips Kofi to a corner. Kofi elbows back then hops up, English distracts, Rusev runs in, misses, English tags and as Rusev whips Kofi, English dumps him out to the floor. The Drama King takes a bow as Woods checks on Kofi. English keeps him back as he drags Kofi up and bumps him off the announce desk. Back into the ring, English covers, TWO. English keeps Kofi in the Rusev Day corner, then gives a stomp before Kofi fights back again. English mule kicks Kofi and chokes him on the ropes! The ref backs English off, Rusev gets a cheap shot in. English returns to stomp Kofi out, then brings Kofi up for a chinlock.

Back to single picture, English sings his trash talk while holding Kofi down. The fans rally, Kofi feeds off that, then fights back. Jawbreaker sends English back, but English still blocks Kofi and brings him back to Rusev Day corner. Tag to Rusev, Rusev gives big kicks to Kofi’s ribs. A whip to the ropes, into a Bulgarian Bearhug. Rusev squeezes tight, English sings his trash talk, fans keep rallying. Kofi fights out but Rusev keeps squeezing, so Kofi keeps hitting back, big windmill kick from Rusev! TWO, and Rusev looks annoyed. The Bulgarian Brute stalks Kofi as fans rally for New Day, Rusev whips Kofi to a corner but Kofi boots back. Kofi reaches for Big E but is blocked again. The ref backs him off because of the ropebreak, so Rusev sends Kofi the other way, only to run into a jumping double stomp! Both men down, fans rally again, hot tags to Big E and English! Overhead throw, overhead throw, and then side belly2belly! Big E is ready, he gives the hip swivels then builds speed for the Big Splash! “New! Day Rocks!” as Big E scoops but English rakes the eyes. Tag to Rusev, he runs in, big yurinagi! TWO! Big E is a bit surprised, but he doesn’t slow down. He tags Kofi, Rusev rolls out, the fans fire up but Rusev drags Big E out to put him into steel steps!

Kofi still FLIES and takes Rusev out, then puts Rusev in. From the apron, Kofi mule kicks English, but is intercepted by Rusev, SUPERKICK to the back of Kofi’s head, Rusev Day wins!

With The New Day going towards a tag team title match, how will this speed bump affect their chances? Pretty badly, actually, as Rusev day is ADDED to the title match for a Fatal 4 Way! The Usos Penitentiary is getting full, who will come out of it the SmackDown Tag Team Champions!?

 

The Hype Bros are DEAD!

At least, their friendship is, as Mojo Rawley snapped and beat down Zack Ryder last week. SMackDown’s Tag Team Division is down a team, but Mojo is backstage for an interview as to why he did this. “Everybody keeps getting on me for what I did.” Even GRONK does. But what about what Ryder did to Mojo? The second Ryder goes out with an injury, Mojo wins the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. And when things finally go Mojo’s way, Ryder returns to drag Mojo back down. Ryder is dead weight, but Mojo is a serious competitor. Mojo is no one’s teammate, he is a single superstar. If anyone in the locker room or in the arena or anywhere at all that has a problem with that, “then they can shove it!” #MojoRising, but what does that mean for the landscape of SmackDown?

 

 

GM Daniel Bryan deals with Carmella, Lana and Tamina at the same time.

The FABULOUS Princess wants to be part of the title match, the Ravishing Russian thinks Natalya shouldn’t get her match. But Bryan says the match is as it is. Carmella could be in the match, if she cashes in her Ms. Money in the Bank case. No, sorry, not ready to part with little Frankie just yet. She named the case? However, The Riott Squad appears. They are here, changes the landscape of SmackDown’s women’s Division, yet they’re on the outside looking in. Specifically, Ruby Riott pinned Charlotte and isn’t in the title match? Why? Her tattoos? Or her clothing doesn’t fit #BellaArmy? Or is Bryan just biased against blondes? Well, aside from Lana. Sarah Logan says he hates the South. Given he’s from the liberal state of Washington! The point is, Bryan didn’t recruit them to be afterthoughts. Who you calling an afterthought!? STOP IIIIIIT!!

Whoa… Bryan cools off and tells them that all of SmackDown’s women will be on the PPV, because the title match is now a Lumberjack match. Good enough for these six, but will any rioting be happening because of it?

 

The GLORIOUS Bobby Rood encounters Baron Corbin.

Relax, Roode. The Lone Wolf just wants to know how he feels about the Show-Off being added to their US Championship match when he doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near it. Well, 1v1, Roode could beat Corbin, which will happen tonight. But with it being 1v1v1, the odds go down mathematically. Mathematically, Corbin’s chances go down, too. That’s not fair, Corbin is the only one that matters in the equation. But Dolph Ziggler appears to address their concerns. Maybe it’s that he’s a two time world champion, five time Intercontinental Champion, a former US Champion and a successful Mr. Money in the Bank. So their chances of winning have actually dropped to zero. See you in Boston.

 

The Bludgeon Brothers VS Adam James & Josh Carl!

Harper & Rowan have returned to bring nothing but pain and suffering to the SmackDown Tag Team Division, no different for tiny James and Carl! One takes a heel kick, the other a big tackle, then a discus lariat on the outside! Back inside, big clobbering corner splash, then fed to Rowan’s spinning slam! Harper slaps Rowan, and becomes a human weapon, scoop slam style! Tag back, Bludgeon Brother double slam! The Bludgeon Brothers win again, who in the tag team division even hopes to slow them down?

 

Kevin returns from talking to Daniel Bryan.

What did he say? If it’s not good, Sami says they could get a lawyer to address this issue! Bryan said he’d “think about it”. Wait, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Just gotta wait and see. Forget Orton, will Sami & Kevin even survive the stress of not knowing?

 

Baron Corbin VS Bobby Roode!

This was meant to be the 1v1 match at Clash of Champions, as far as The Lone Wolf or GLORIOUS One were concerned, but now it is a sampling of the Triple Threat they’ll be having at that SmackDown exclusive PPV. Who will get the edge before the Show-Off is added to the mix? Speaking of, Dolph Ziggler joins commentary to keep an eye on both of them. And also talk smack about them.

The bell rings, the two tie up, Corbin backs Roode to a corner. Ropebreak honored albeit obnoxiously, Roode fires out and puts on a headlock, Corbin powers out and runs Roode over while trash talking Ziggler. Roode up, he chops and kicks Corbin before whipping, reversed, dropkick takes out a leg. Roode then dropkicks Corbin out of the ring, GLRIOUS! Corbin returns but is knocked back out of the ring. Corbin walks it off, Roode grabs him by the hair but gets a stiff right hand that knocks Roode back. The Lone WOlf gets in the ring and rains down rights, Ziggler will admit that is one legit right hand. COrbin whips Roode corner to corner, big clothesline drops Roode, then COrbin trash talks as he puts Roode in a half-nelson chinbar. Ziggler says he knows he’s good enough, he doesn’t need the fans like Roode does. Speaking of, fans rally for Roode, Roode gets up and gives chops and kicks to Corbin again. Roode runs, but gets caught, choke slam escaped, then boots knock Corbin back. Roode hops up, jumps but misses, double clotheslines bring both men down. Ziggler gets up to get a “closer look”. By getting in the ring! He stalks Roode and Corbin, trying to decide who to hit first. ZIG ZAG to Roode! The match is disqualified, but Corbin gets the second ZIG ZAG! The Show-Off has made it clear that, now that he’s in the US Championship match, he won’t be overlooked or disrespected. Will he earn more respect with a win at Clash of Champions?

 

Natalya is excited for the SmackDown women!

Everyone gets to be ringside for her victory! Well, as Lumberjacks. Right, but still. Tamina gets to have a match tonight against Charlotte, so Natty will have her back. And if at Clash of Champions, Charlotte “attacks” Tamina or the others, they have the right to defend themselves, then throw her back and let Natty handle the rest. Though, if Natty ends up outside and the Riott Squad target her, they’ll have her back, right?

Before the Riott Squad, there was the Welcoming Committee, the heart and soul of SmackDown’s Women’s Division. No stray cats are going to ruin the title match. Speaking of, Ruby and her crew appear. Well, time for a proper welcome to SmackDown! And thanks for taking out Becky Lynch and Naomi, too. They’re the epitome of beauty, brawn and brains, and why Charlotte is jealous of them. She’s the kind that would sucker punch them, but Natty is honored to share the spotlight with “the most powerful women in the WWE.” Natty then bolts before anything happens. Can the Queen of Harts manipulate the others into doing her dirty work for her?

 

SmackDown takes a look at the path that led to Maharaja VS Phenomenal One at Clash of Champions.

The 50th WWE Champion ever used The Singh Brothers to obtain and retain that title, and felt he had defeated everyone worthy of challenging him, until AJ Styles spoke up. An epic battle ensued, and Styles became the new WWE World Champion! But Mahal would not take that loss so easily. Week after week, he beat down Styles, also with the help of the Singh Brothers. However, Styles again turned the tides to get the better of all three men, beating each Singh Brother in turn and then both of them at the same time! Mahal will now have to do things all by himself, as Mahal himself then brutalized the men who failed him. No more Samir or Sunil, can Mahal retain the title in the name of his people of India?

 

Charlotte Flair VS Tamina w/ Lana!

Well, not just Lana, as The Welcoming Committee has reunited for one night only to support the Daughter of Superfly as she goes against the Daughter of the Nature Boy. The SmackDown Women’s Champion already seems to be experiencing some of that Lumberjack Match atmosphere, can she make good here tonight? The two second generation superstars tie up, waistlock from Charlotte, Tamina elbows out. Tamina puts Charlotte in a corner, then brings her out only for Charlotte to return the favor and give those Flair family chops. Deep arm wrench, then another, but Tamina throws Charlotte down by her hair. Natty likes what she sees as Tamina drags Charlotte up and scoops her, but then Charlotte slips out, runs, and back elbows Tamina. Then a low boot drops Tamina, cover, TWO. Facelock from the champion, Charlotte whips but is reversed, so she rolls tot he apron and shoulders back in. Forearm, too, but Tamina catches her on reentry and powers her to a corner. Shoulder after shoulder into Charlotte’s stomach, then she’s lifted up for a Alabama position slam into the buckles.

We go picture in picture as Tamina rains down right hands on Charlotte and Natty applauds. Chalrotte gets up and elbows back, then again, SUPERKICK from Tamina drops Charlotte. TWO, and Tamina is frustrated already. She keeps on Charlotte with a thrashing chinlock. Fans rally as Charlotte gets up, and she stomps on Tamina’s feet. Charlotte runs but runs into Tamina’s lariat. Tamina catches her breath before she stomps Charlotte and chokes her on the ropes. The referee backs her off, Natty laughs as she enjoys the bullying Tamina puts Charlotte through with body shots and clubbing forearms. Snapmare and cover, TWO,  so back to the chinlock. Fans rally again, Charlotte works to get up as we go single picture again.

Charlotte moves around as she gets to her feet and “WOO” echoes out. Charlotte is put in a corner, but dodges Tamina only to be run over again. Cover, TWO, Tamina is further frustrated, as is Natalya. Scoop but Charlotte slips out, spin around for the neckbreaker and Flair chops. More chops, more chops, more chops, whip to ropes is reversed, roll-up ONE. Tamina kicks low, then scoops Charlotte into the fireman’s carry, Charlotte slips down and boots Tamina down, Figure Four! Bridge makes it Figure eight, Tamina taps and Charlotte wins!

Natty is not happy, she sarcastically congratulates Charlotte’s win. This is her last taste of victory, because the Queen of Flair will bow down to the Best There is, the Best There Was and the Best Ever Will Be. But just as Natty mentions the Lumberjack match, the Riott Squad appears! For once, they agree with Natty. They should give Charlotte a preview of Clash of Champions. But that means introducing the stars of the show. Get your popcorn and sip your soda, because the Riott Squad is here for the feature presentation.

And these girls look as nervous as long tailed cats in a room full of rocking chairs. Becuase they know no one is safe when a Riott is about to break out. Stare downs between the women on the outside explode into brawls! Tamina and Sarah want at each other, but their allies back them down. Charlotte gets out in one piece, can she do the same in the actual Lumberjack match?

 

Kevin & Sami are dreading what comes next.

But then they talk to Bryan one last time. Kevin thanks Bryan for hearing him out. And you’re welcome for that. Bryan did consider the appeal, and while Kevin doesn’t want to be chained up, Shane doesn’t want him to interfere with the match. Bryan agreed with Shane. Chained up he will be, can Kevin stand watching his best friend go up against Randy Orton?

 

Sami Zayn w/ Kevin Owens VS Randy Orton!

Kevin & Sami keep pleading with SmackDown GM Daniel Bryan all the way to ringside, but Bryan tells Kevin that if he doesn’t he will be suspended. Why!? Because he keeps interfering with matches. Kevin reluctantly accepts and is chained to the bottom rope.

Bryan gives the keys to the referee, Kevin protests the entire time. Protests aside, the match begins!

Sami assures Kevin it’ll be okay before he circles with Orton. Orton backs Sami to a corner, then give shim right hand after right hand and even soem stomps before throwing Sami out of the ring. The Viper keeps on Sami by throwing him over the announce desk! No stopping there, back suplex to the barriers! Then back over the desk the other way, back suplex escaped, Sami gets in the ring. Sami gets back out on the side where Kevin is cuffed, Orton stays back.

Kevin gives Sami advice before the Underdog gets back in the ring via steel steps. Kevin distracts but Orton sees Sami coming. Orton knocks Sami down and then throws him at barriers again. Sami chops Orton, Orton replies with a European Uppercut. Orton bounces Sami off the announce desk once, twice, thrice, and then the back suplex onto the desk!

Sami writhes from the impact with a monitor, Orton drags him back up to put him in the ring. Kevin trash talks Orton but then Orton comes after Kevin. Only for Sami to wreck him with a dropkick! Sami stalks Orton as fans chant “Sami Sucks!” Orton goes into the steel steps, Kevin says Sami is the best! Back into the ring, cover, TWO. Sami is annoyed but he keeps on Orton with clubbing crossface punches. Sami drags Orton up, throws him out, and then stays in the ring while Kevin trash talks the RKO. Fans sing “Ole~ ole ole ole~” as we go to break.

We’re back, and Sami has Orton in a chinlock and keeps him down with knees to the ribs. Sami says he’s not afraid of th eViper, he then whips Orton to a corner, but Orotn fires out with a lariat and starts to rally, spinning powerslam! Sami gest to the apron, Orton stalks over and brings him up but Sami hotshots Orton away. Sami looks for stuff under the ring but Orton stops him so Sami gives Orton a heavy right hand. Bolt cutters! Time to clip the cuff chain, but Orton doesn’t give him time. Orton throws Sami to the side and then gives Kevin a forearm before putting him into the post. Sami tackles Orton, the ref gets the bolt cutters clear, things return into the ring. Orton is down, Sami climbs up, takes aim, but Orton trips Sami up. Fans chant “RKO! RKO!” as Orton sees Sami stuck on the top, Orton climbs up to join him. SUPERPLEX!

High elevation, huge impact, but it takes even Orton out there. San Diego says “This is awesome!” but then Kevin uses the bolt cutters on the cuff chain! He’s free! Orton runs him over, though. Sami runs in, Orton dodges, drags Sami out, and hits the draping DDT! Orton hears those voices in his head and takes aim at Sami. However, Kevin come sin, Orton kicks him, Sami rolls up, TWO! RKO- denied! Helluva, dodged! Roll up, Orton wins!

He didn’t use his signature finisher, but he still won, but that means he gets beat down by Kevin from outta nowhere. Sami joins in to make it 2v1, nothing can be done about by the referee at this point. But Shinsuke Nakamura comes out for the save! The King of Strong Style gives Kevin the dynamic dropkick! Sami takes his strike fest, then an ax kick! Knees for Kevin, swing and hit, then… KINSHASA!! Orton recovers, sees Sami staggering, and gives him the RKO! Oh and since Kevin didn’t get one, RKO for him! And so that Sami is even with his best friend, Shinsuke gives him a KINSHASA!

Does this save and teamwork mean The Viper has already found his Clash of Champions partner?

 

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan are watching backstage.

And excellent finish to tonight’s SmackDown! Probably the best in SmackDown’s history! And that’s the end of punishing Kevin & Sami, right? After all they’ve done? This is just Shane warming up. There’s a stipulation on top of that tag team match: Shane O’Mac is special guest referee. And if Sami & Kevin lose, they are FIRED, from the entire WWE! Daniel Bryan seems concerned about that choice, will he be able to convince Shane of otherwise before Clash of Champions comes?!

 

My Thoughts:

A great SmackDown to further things towards Clash of Champions from top to bottom. Right from the start, Kevin & Sami set forth their belief that Shane is against them–which he is, but only because of how Sami & Kevin did him first–but as the rest of the night showed, Shane is slowly turning from justified to obsessed as he keeps piling on Kevin & Sami. The match made at Clash of Champions gave Orton his pick of the roster, so it could’ve been anyone joining him against Sami & Kevin. Then to chain up Kevin is another point of vindictive nature, even if the fans liked the idea, too. The tension between Bryan and Shane is growing, and I sense a double turn should Bryan defend Kevin-Shane from Shane’s tyranny. Or will it be triple turn, since Kevin and Sami would have to become the Faces if Shane goes Heel? Either way, that would be great for everyone involved, and it is practically given to us tonight with Bryan’s look at the end of the show after Shane adds Sami-Kevin VS Orton-Nakamura will be “win, or lose your jobs.”

Everything else was also great. The Women’s Division is ramping things up on par with Raw’s, with The Riott Squad and Welcoming Committee trapping Charlotte and the title in the middle, really good stuff. I’m hoping that, after Charlotte VS Natty in the Lumberjack mach, Carmella cashes in. It’s about time she does, because after Clash of Champions will be the Royal Rumble, and I’m guessing that includes a Women’s Royal Rumble, so Carmella might as well make the SmackDown Women’s title picture about herself. The Tag Team Division is getting amazing, too, as now Team Rusev Day is inserted into the already stacked SmackDown Tag Team Championship match, that Fatal 4 Way is going to be one of the best matches of the night. The US Championship is still questionable. Match will be great, as all three guys are talented, but the story itself does fit how it was framed: Why Ziggler? Why NOT Ziggler? This could be Ziggler’s way back to some positive booking but there’s also a chance he’ll just be another star’s way to the top, i.e., Roode wins by pinning Ziggler. And while we didn’t get any appearances by Styles or Mahal tonight, that recap package did well to sum things up, this Clash of Champions card is top notch and should hopefully deliver on everything.

My Score: 8.5/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 6.19.25

Are we going to start trending upwards with Slammiversary to build toward?

Published

7 hours ago

on

June 19, 2025

By

Last week’s episode was lacking in ring work but had decent story moments and segments. Starting the build to Slammiversary we can either launch nicely or things can always get worse. Jason Hotch and KC Navarro are the real shining stars of the last few months, so lets hope once they get over this Leon Slater idiot ship, they can push X Division wrestlers with actual talent for pro wrestling and not just flippy charisma vacuums.

Oh and let’s not forget, it is the episode they celebrate the 23rd anniversary of TNA! TWENTY – THREE!! Somewhere PCO hates this.

Ratings:

  • Sami Callihan vs Eric Young w/Losers: EY wins via Piledriver – ** 3/4
  • Lei Ying Lee & Masha Slamovich vs The Elegance Clique w/M & Personal Concierge: Elegantos win via Rarefied Air – ***
  • Eddie Edwards & JDC w/Alisha & Brian Myers vs Matt Cardona & Home Town Man: HTM wins via Cradle – *
  • Champion’s Challenge: The Rascalz, Joe Hendry, Leon Slater & Elijah vs The Kaiba Boys, Moose, Steve Maclin & Trick Williams: Elijah wins via Highwayman’s Farewell – ***

 

Results:

Sami Callihan vs Eric Young w/Losers

Sami knocks them all off the apron before the bell rings, he levels the loser children, finds a chair, attacks EY but EY counters and this is the excuse to use weapons since the bell didn’t ring yet. EY tries to break Sami’s hand on the steps with the chair, but Sami moves, throws EY back in the ring, bell rings and EY hits a Belly to Belly suplex for two. They slug it out, Sami goes for Headbutts, then Sami wants to run the ropes but a loser trips him, distracts long enough for EY to knock him out of the ring and loser children swarm as loser children do. EY does the classic, throw back out for losers to attack while EY grabs and distracts the ref. Sami is selling a few lame attacks from the losers like he got shot. It’s an excessive sell, so it’s honestly a dumb transitional moment.

EY levels Sami, Lariat into Scoop Slam, looks for the Macho Elbow but Sami hits the ropes to crotch EY. Sami Superplex time, but EY bites the face to make Sami drop, EY jumps at him but eats a straight right hand. Cactus Driver, but no, EY tries his Piledriver…they both gouge eyes at the same time, Sami catches an EY charge into a Flatliner as they’re both down…for…reasons? The selling in this match seems…poorly timed and kinda stupid. Hard Irish Whip, EY Flair Flips the corner, levels Sami, Macho Elbow for 2.9! EY threatens to hit the ref, but then goes to mad dog commentary. EY then wants to attack fans…he’s more unhinged than World Elite EY. Sami gives him the old Dick Twist into a Stunner but only for two! Losers try to distract, first one gets taken out, second one uses a chair, EY hits the Piledriver on Sami, EY wins.

I feel like this is gonna continue for a few weeks since it wasn’t a clean win. 

Mustafa Ali’s group comes out, and I refuse to say the name because it’s dumb and they’re already fraying at the seams. Ali wants an apology session, Tasha and Hotch apologize to him but Skyler bites back and refuses, even shoved Ali. So Ali challenges him to a “Call to Arms” match. What in the hell is a Call to Arms match? 

Lei Ying Lee & Masha Slamovich vs The Elegance Clique w/M & Personal Concierge

ASH does her borderline racist fake karate before Lei stares her down and tags in Heather. Heather avoids Lei, Lei throws a few Tornado Kicks to make a point and Heather tags out. Heather being 4’8″ helps her here. Concierge says “There’s no Karate in wrestling”. ASH, Lei and Masha are in the ring, ASH is trying to decide who she wants to face, but the Concierge google translated it and hands it to ASH, before the face team rocks ASH. Masha lifts up Lei and Lei does the Liu Kang Bicycle Kick, steering more into her Mortal Kombat aesthetic. Senton off the apron from Lei and Masha dives into the pile, the comedy heels are getting leveled. We go to commercial and come back with Lei getting Double Teamed but she spins it into a weird Neckbreaker..but can’t tag out just yet. Lei blocks Heather, Enzuigiri, simultaneous tag, Masha is Yakuza kicks for all and the 2 for 1 Lariat/DDT special. Near fall, but Masha goes for murder, but Heather breaks it, Rocket Launcher/Code Breaker from Elegance but Lei breaks up the pin. ASH tries to intimidate Lei with her fake Karate before throwing her out of the ring. Heather hits Lei with a handful of Glitter and then bounces her face off the post. Masha tries to stop ASH, Kelly’s music distracts Masha, Rarefied Air gives ASH the win.

Santino comes out and GOD DAMMIT no one wants to see Tommy Dreamer fight Mance Warner…that’s a useless thing. Pivot away…no one wants this. Oh no, now we have to listen to Steph talk too. Okay it seems to be a pivot, thankfully. Steph and Mance talk shit, Dreamer says something about Something is gonna happen…and Jake Something comes out. So…I guess we’re gonna build him up for 2 months and then job him out for 6 before he fucks off to his home galaxy or whatever? 

Really wish Indi just opened with the Billy Butcher classic of, “Oi Cunt!” – but this wasn’t bad. 

Eddie Edwards & JDC w/Alisha & Brian Myers vs Matt Cardona & Home Town Man

I hate… Cardona so much more now. Heel reasons for Cardona…go away heat for Deaner.

JDC wants the Home Town Man to start…and Deaner does his stupid Flip Flop and Fly, Cardona tags in, JDC is eating some offense, Cardona wants the Reboot, JDC powders, Cardona Dives but then Lish and the general numbers catch up to Cardona. Eddie is legal, and now they isolate Cardona with some decent tandem work and isolation. This turns into kind of a schmoz, lots of silly spots, near falls and then Home Town doofus gets the cradle pinfall on Eddie.

Whenever Deaner is involved I can’t be asked to care. The System beats Cardona and Deaner down, but Eddie did eat a pin. Which is embarrassing not even for work reasons, like it’s just sad.

Champion’s Challenge: The Rascalz, Joe Hendry, Leon Slater & Elijah vs The Kaiba Boys, Moose, Steve Maclin & Trick Williams

Elijah and Nic start things off, slow push off, arm wring, top wristlock, simple chain wrestling start. Nic breaks the chain and hits a Dropkick, Elijah runs the ropes and hits a Diving Lariat and starts the Rope Walk. Nic seems far to awake and alert for that move then, I hate how people pull that off too early. Wentz gets tagged in, Nic tags in Maclin who wasn’t looking for a tag, but him and Wentz have a nice clash, Trey tags in, they try to double him, but they pause and look at each other. Maclin asks for a tag, no one tags him so he Chops Ryan to tag him in and throws him in.

The little nod to Maclin and Rascalz history and the fact the faces realize Maclin isn’t a piece of shit. A little MCMG homage tandem attacks on Ryan, Wentz punctuates with the Handspring Knee Lift, Ryan tags out to Trick. Trick and Wentz go back and forth, Rascalz have Trick eating offense, Moose tries to slow things down, both Trick and Moose powder, Rascalz Double Golden Triangle Moonsaults. Trey gets tripped by Nic, Moose hits Lights Out, but there’s no referee so it’s a little chaotic.

Out of the commercial things are controlled kinda and we see a simultaneous tag to Moose and Leon. Leon comes out hot, level Moose with a Leg Lariat, attacks Nic Nemeth, attacks Ryan, and then Moose hits Leon with the Stun Gun. Moose looks to tag in Maclin but Maclin jumps off the apron. Trick takes the tag, keeps control, Trick forcibly tags in Maclin but Ryan tags himself in and pulls Leon to the Champions’ corner, Nic tags in and isolates Leon, with the Kaibas quick tagging and keeping Leon down.

Moose tags in, tries to Suplex Leon about four times but Leon stops it then counters the Suplex. Moose tries to cut him off, but the Champions distract the ref so the ref can’t see Leon tag out. Nic and Moose doubling up and Leon is the bump guy of this last portion of the match. Big Uranage from Moose…Moose looks for Lights Out but Small Package almost ruined things, Body Scissors Cradle, GAME CHANGER! Moose looks to hit a Jacknife Powerbomb but Leon turns it into a DDT. Maclin and Ryan start fighting, Nic Superkicks Maclin, Hendry and Nic tag in, Hendry is a house of fire. Sack of Shits for everyone! Nic, Ryan, there’s a pause when Hendry is face to face with Trick and Trick gets Uppercuts first then Sack of Shit! Standing Ovation on Nic, but Ryan blocks, Kaibas try a tandem attack but Hendry Lariats them both. Elijah tags in and is the maestro of the crowd and chopping Ryan to some fun. Ryan goes for a Polish Hammer but eats the Knee Lift. Signature spam time…

Ryan tries to use the International title but Maclin grabs the title away from Ryan, clocks Nic, Standing Ovation into the Highwayman’s Farewell. Champions lose!

Overall Score: 4/10

Well this was a rough one boys and girls. Sami and EY was just an overbooked shitshow, Lei Ying Lee is unfortunately in a spot where it’s obvious TNA has no clue how to use her, the Elegantos are the New Beautiful People, and I’m not mad at that. But you need to space out your goofball crap. You can’t have Elegance Clique, Home Town Moron and Santino in 3 consecutive segments. And if anyone goes “it was 3 out of 4” that’s doesn’t lessen my point, the beauty of Pro Wrestling being a variety show is…FOR VARIETY! When the lead match feels stupid because of bad pacing, poor selling and overbooking with two losers, it feels like a useless match with idiots, then comedy, followed by more comedy…you see how that’s literally NOT VARIETY.

Figure it out seriously. This was a disappointing episode. If you’re a casual viewer than it’s just chalk for TNA doing cringe and borderline goof crap since they’ve always steered a little more into the carny than other companies. But this show was…where’s Jisoo and Jenny? I feel like I need that gif:

PLAY BY PLAY

Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty w/ Trish Adora VS Anthony Gangone & Sal Mistretta!

The full force of Shane Taylor Promotions will be felt tonight! Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are in tonight’s main event, but that leaves Big Bad Shaney T Boy and #TAIGASTYLE to open the night. Will they prove that ROH now belongs to STP? Or will Mr. Sleep & #SturdySal show they can rumble, bad man, rumble?

The teams sort out and Lee starts against Gangone. The bell rings and Lee LEG LARIATS Gangone! The fans fire up and Lee says, “Get over here!” Lee puts Gangone in a corner, fires hands, then JUMP KNEES! Lee drags Gangone up and the fans rally behind him. Lee wrenches, and wrenches, then hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Tag to Shane but Gangone ROCKS Lee! Gangone gets away to tag in Sal. Shane and Sal step up as fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Sal ROCKS Shane, but then Shane brushes that off. Shane grins, the fans tell Sal he messed up, and Shane HEADBUTTS Sal! Sal wobbles while Shane shouts, “The hell is wrong with you, chump?”

Shane then YANKS Sal in for the URENAGE! The fans fire up and want that again, but Shane drags Sal around by a leg. Shane says why not. Ripcord and URENAGE! The fans fire up behind Shane and he rolls Sal so he can KNEE him back down! The fans chant for “S T P! S T P!” Shane winds up but Gangone runs in! Lee intercepts for the BORDER CITY STRETCH! Shane says STP reigns supreme! HAYMAKER!! Cover, STP wins!

Winners: Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty, by pinfall

Shane reminds us that he is coming for everything! Everything! Will it be just this easy for STP to own ROH?

 

BREAKING NEWS for next week!

ROH joins in on the crossover with CMLL as next week is Global Wars: Mexico! Lee Moriarty will be in action against none other than THE Blue Panther! Then, Athena & Red Velvet take on Thunder Rosa y Persephone in a dream tag team match! Will the champions of ROH stand tall in Arena Mexico? Or will there be golden tickets handed out left and right?

 

Pure Rules Match: Deonna Purrazzo VS Marti Belle!

While the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament still needs a full bracket, the Virtuosa is going to keep herself sharp for when she needs to strike. But will there be another masterpiece put together here tonight? Or will Marti prove she herself deserves a chance at making history?

The Code of Honor is upheld and the bell rings. We have 15 minutes as the two circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and then Deonna kicks an arm to wrangle Marti with the top wristlock. Marti rises up, rolls, and wrenches to wristlock. Deonna wrenches and headlocks to hit the takeover. Marti endures, fights up, powers out, but Deonna RUNS her over! Deonna soaks up the cheers and jeers, runs, then steps over Marti’s dropdown to “kick dirt” at her. Deonna eggs Marti on and the two reset. They tie up, Marti waistlocks but Deonna switches. Marti switches, lifts, but Deonna fights. Deonna ELBOWS free, then goes after Marti in the corner.

Deonna whips corner to corner, runs up, but Marti slips outside. Deonna ROCKS Marti first, soaks up more cheers and jeers, then runs, only for Marti to dodge the dropkick! Marti fires forearms, whips, but Deonna reverses and throat chops! Deonna sends Marti into steel steps! The fans are torn but Deonna wants the ring count. Deonna says it is just too easy, and Marti is rising up as the count starts. Deonna eggs Marti on, the fans rally, and Marti huffs ‘n’ puffs. Marti rolls in at 5 of 20 but Deonna stomps away! The ref counts, Deonna stops at 4, and Deonna wrenches. Deonna YANKS Marti’s arm, then wrenches again to YANK it!

Marti clutches the arm but Deonna reels her into a facelock. Marti fights the suplex, makes it a cradle, ONE!! Deonna runs up, Marti rolls her up, TWO! Marti spins and ROLLING ELBOWS! Deonna falls and the fans fire up! Deonna goes to a corner, Marti runs in, but Deonna dodges! Marti hits buckles, then Deonna blocks a boot to THROW Marti down! Deonna has the arm and the leg, then focuses on the arm to make a SACRIFICE! The fans are torn but Deonna feeds off it all. Deonna demands Marti to rise up, and as we hit four minutes, Deonna SOBATS, runs, and KNEE LIFTS into the RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!

Deonna rolls through, FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! Marti endures, reaches out, but Deonna grabs that arm, too! VENIS DE MILO!! Marti verbally quits and Deonna wins!

Winner: Deonna Purrazzo, by submission

Neither woman used a ropebreak in this match, and Deonna didn’t need to! At just four minutes and 24 seconds, Deonna finishes this. Will she not only become ROH Women’s Pure Champion, but do it in record time?

 

The Frat House speaks.

Jacked Jameson says, “Yeah, Johnny Hungy? Johnny Starving For Attention! You wanna come back and try and get one up on The Frat House? I don’t think so, pal! And Reynolds, you talking about I got a tiny package? I got a small package, in the ring, yeah! If you’re talking about this package, ask your girl!” Preston Vance says yes, good package. But Dark Order, Vance has hated them from the beginning. They call him a traitor when he just did something for himself for once. He hates Uno, he hates Reynolds, but the one he hates the most is Silver. Starving for attention, always has been, same guy since day one!

Dark Order wants a trios match? They’ll take you up on that. But remember the one rule: Win or lose, they BOOZE~! The Frat House marches off, cheering themselves on. But will they be humbled when Uno, Silver & Reynolds finally get a back on track?

 

Mark Sterling reviews footage with The Premier Athletes.

Smart Mark looks back at a loss The Premier Athletes suffered against the Sons of Texas, and he points out specifically when Dustin Rhodes grabbed him, TOSSED him, and that is assault on a ringside consultant. That is why Sterling has the cameras here. He wants to inform Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari that the State of Michigan sports authority agreed with him, that match was tainted and therefore expunged from their records, along with a few others. But then, that means they’re undefeated? Yes! Their record is spotless now! Daivari says he isn’t sure about them, but he was pretty confident he heard way less “Athletes Suck” chants than usual. Almost 50-50 out there.

Nese says Shop AEW has not seen a single soul buying the Athletes Suck shirt. Great news! And bad news for the rest of ROH. There is nothing scarier than a couple of athletes with momentum. They will take this momentum and go straight to the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Y’know why? Because Athletes RULE! Well, one thing these three haven’t lost is their confidence. But will legal loopholes and changing grades really turn them into champions?

 

8 Man Tag: The Infantry & Grizzled Young Veterans VS The Kingdom & Top Flight!

What interesting combinations on both sides. Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are just as tough as Zack Gibson & James Drake but with far more energy and bravado, but then Matt Taven & Mike Bennett used to make Darius & Dante Martin go through hell! Which side can put aside their differences better and come out the victors?

Well it would seem STP & GYV can as they all attack The Kingdom & Top Flight! The fans boo and the bell rings, but GYV beat down Top Flight while Infantry beat down Kingdom, another grudge coming back to haunt Taven & Bennett! The ref reprimands but the tides turn a bit. Taven brawls with Bravo on the outside, Bennett fires hands on Dean, and the Martin brothers throw hands back on GYV! Taven SMACKS Bravo off the apron, Darius UPPERCUTS James Drake, and the teams finally sort out a bit. Bravo runs back in but Taven LARIATS Bravo and himself up and out! Darius whips Drake to a corner, then runs up, but into an ELBOW!

Drake runs up, Darius arm-drags and DROPKICKS! Darius brings Drake around, Dante tags in, and Top Flight coordinates. Darius takes a swing but Drake dodges, only for Dante to send him into Darius’ UPPERCUT! Dante adds a JUMP KNEE and Darius LARIATS! Cover, ONE, but Dante basement DROPKICKS! Dante keeps Drake from the corner to tag Taven. They mug Drake, then Taven ROCKS him. Taven whips, Drake reverses but Taven cartwheels! Taven dodges, springboard and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Taven then bypasses and DROPKICKS! The fans fire up because “IIII’M Matt Taven!” Bennett says the fans actually like Taven now.

Taven brings Drake up and into a headlock, but Drake pulls hair! Drake tags Gibson while he powers out, then he drops down for Gibson to trip Taven! Gibson drags Taven out, but Taven DECKS him! But then Drake DIVES onto Taven! The fans fire up and Infantry talks some trash. Gibson lifts Taven to SNAKE EYES off railing! Gibson puts Taven on the apron, and cravats for the neck wrench, and then a SLAM ono the apron! Taven sputters, Gibson stays between him and the corner, but the fans rally up. Taven fights the underhooks to fire body shots. Gibson keeps Taven back with a wristlock, and he tags in Drake!

Drake runs up, GYV double whip, and then they trap Taven in the corner. Drake ELBOWS Taven, Gibson UPPERCUTS, and then feed to the WHEEL KICK! Cover, TWO! Drake argues, but then he ROCKS Taven! Tag to Bravo and he RAMS into Taven! The Infantry mugs Taven, the ref counts and Bravo stops. Tag to Dean, and the Infantry double wrench to DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Dean throws off his shirt and drags Taven up. Dean scoops to put Taven in the Tree of Woe. Tag to Bravo and the Infantry stomp mudholes in! The fans boo, the ref counts, Gibson talks trash, but Infantry stops at 4.

The Infantry taunt Bennett & Top Flight before they DOBULE DROPKICK Taven outta the Tree! Cover, TWO! Bravo JABS, JABS, and then he BLASTS Top Flight! Bravo says they got nothing! But Taven scoops! Bravo slips free, but Taven HEEL KICKS! Both men crawl, hot tags to Darius and Dean! Darius rallies on Dean and GYV! Uppercut after uppercut then a whip! Dean reverses, but jumps into an atomic drop! Then the BULLDOG HOTSHOT! SUPERKICK for Gibson! GAMANGIRI for Dean! Then a step-in COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, Gibson breaks it! Dante whips Gibson but Gibson reverses. Dante goes out, up, around, and Gibson just keeps missing!

Dante GAMANGIRIS, then springboards to CROSSBODY! Bravo KNEES Dante, whips, but Darius is there to boost Dante up and over! Then Dante helps Darius hit the TORNADO DDT on Bravo! The fans fire up and Mike asks to be tagged in. Darius tags Mike and the fans fire up! Bennett CHOPS away on Dean! Gibson runs up, Bennett puts him in the corner and CHOPS away on them both Bravo runs up, Bennett puts him in the corner and CHOPS away on all three! The fans fire up as Drake runs up, but then Bennett spots him first! “You want some?!” Drake reconsiders but Bennett puts him in the corner, to CHOP away on all four!

The fans are fired up and Bennett brings Drake out to tag Taven. Gibson saves Drake, throat chops Mike, then clinches Taven. Drake ENZIGIRIS Taven! Dante DOUBLE CANNONBALLS GYV! Dean kicks Dante low, reels him in, and crosses the arms, DEPTH CHARGE! But Darius BOOTS Dean, then WALL WALK KICKS! Bravo runs up, kicks low, and runs to SCISSOR KICK! Bennett is back, fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Taven adds JUST THE TIP of the knee! Bennett says time to kill ’em! But Gibson Y ANKS Bennett out! Taven gives Drake a KICK O’ THE KING! Bennett and Gibson brawl that way, Taven hits FLIGHT OF THE CONQUEROR on GYV!

Dante SPLASHES Dean, whips, but Dean reverses. Bravo runs to CARLIE CROSSOVER! Feed to Dean’s FLYING LARIAT! Infantry gets Dante up and sends him to BOOT CAMP!! Cover, DARIUS BREAKS IT! The fans fire up as this keeps going! GYV and Kingdom brawl, Bravo storms up but Darius TOSSES him out onto GYV and Kingdom! Darius reels Dean in and suplexes, but Dean slips free! Dean shoves Darius, Darius slides but Dean hurdles over. Dean ROCKS Darius, Darius CHOPS Dean, Dean JUMP KNEES back! Dean fires up, but Darius blocks a kick and makes it a FISHERMAN BUSTER!

The fans fire up and Dante is up top! MAMBA SPLASH!! Cover, Top Flight & Kingdom win!

Winners: The Kingdom & Top Flight, by pinfall

Former rivals made great allies here and they came out on top! But with everyone wanting the ROH World Tag Team Championships, will The Kingdom and Top Flight have to battle it out like the old days? Or can they stay friendly in the race to the top?

My Thoughts:

A very good episode but I’m surprised this was only 37 minutes long. Even then, there were pretty obvious squash matches, like Archer beating Solo and Miyu beating Havok. Well, so was Shane & Lee winning, but opening matches aren’t skippable. Ok and Deonna was of course winning her Pure Rules match. Why didn’t TK just get the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament going by now so that the title match could be at Supercard? Good to hear about Global Wars: Mexico, though.

The Premier Athletes have a good promo, but they’re just getting sadder as a team if they have to keep “expunging” losses from their record as if that makes them winners. Frat House has a good promo to set up the Six Man Tag, and if ROH wasn’t such an afterthought, I’d love if they explored what Preston Vance said. He claims he never liked Dark Order, hates them all now, but what if leaving Dark Order, joining LFI, leaving LFI, and now forming the Frat House is all Vance grieving Mr. Brodie? He doesn’t have to rejoin Dark Order, he just has to come to terms with why he’s actually being so awful to his old friends and maybe turn Frat House around into Faces.

And very good 8 Man Tag main event, everybody looking good even though it was a rather short match. Good win for the Faces to keep Top Flight afloat and to get The Kingdom, or in this case #OGK, back on track. I would think Dustin & Sammy make quick work of the Premier Athletes, but maybe if we can get three or four teams in one match, that’d be a way to protect Dustin & Sammy while crowning new champions.

My Score: 8.7/10
