NXT Tag Team Championships: The Undisputed Era VS SAnitY!
Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish survived The Authors of Pain at TakeOver: Philadelphia, but the former tag team champions reminded them of their unfinished business. And they continue to remind them with a blindside attack!
Cole, Fish and O’Reilly spill outside the ring but Young, Wolfe and Dain pursue to keep the fight going! SAnitY puts reDRagon in the ring, then go after Cole, but reDRagon goes after Eric Young 2v1! Wolfe & Dain come to Young’s rescue and now it’s another six man brawl! Security rushes the ring but the fans want to “Let Them Fight!” Dain starts throwing and decking security, and even Wolfe gets free. The chaos finally calms down as the Undisputed Era run for it!
That’s when NXT General Manager, William Regal, comes out!
Regal shouts “Enough is enough!” The main event will not be SAnitY VS Undisputed Era in a Six Man TORNADO Tag Match! Which trio will survive a fight with the other when there’s no rules but to win?
Heavy Machinery VS Tino Sabbatelli & Riddick Moss!
Tucker Knight & Otis Dozovic are back again, but so are the Blue Chip Boys. The last time these two teams met, Sabbatelli & Moss managed a win by feet on the ropes, so Tucker & Otis want revenge. Will the combination of #SteaksandWeights overcome dollars and cents?
The bell rings and Moss starts against “Dozer”. They tie up, Moss getting a headlock but Otis powering out to run him over. Otis quickly tags Tucker and they both run Moss over with double shoulder tackles. Heavy Machinery runs, and “Boom SHAKA LOO”, double headbutt drops! Tucker covers, ONE, so he wraps Moss in a headlock. Moss endures the squeeze then powers out to reel Tucker in for a lariat to the back of the head. Tucker staggers, Moss drives him into the Blue Chip corner with a big shoulder tackle of his own. Moss rams his shoulder into Tucker more and more, then rocks him with right hands. Tino tags in, and they double whip Tucker hard into buckles. Tino & Moss share their secret handshake but the fans say “Tino Sucks!” Tucker fights back with body shots, then with forearms, but Tino drops him with a dropkick. Tino trash talks and brushes himself off to embrace the heat. He tags Moss in, but with some attitude. Moss goes after Tucker but Tucker rolls him, ONE. Moss kicks back and whips Tucker, but Tucker kicks him away, only for Moss to run him over with a back elbow. Now Moss tags Tino with attitude. Tino goes after Tucker while the fans chant “Tino Sucks!” again. Tino whips but Tucker reverses to send Tino into buckles hard. The fans rally while Tucker crawls and Tino hobbles. Hot tag to Otis, and Otis rallies on both Blue Chip Boys. Tino ends up in a corner, Otis runs in for a steamrolling corner splash!
The fans fire up while Tino falls down. Otis fires up, does the “caterpillar” to then hit the big elbow drop!
Cover, but Moss breaks it just in time. Tucker returns but Moss throws him out, so Otis throws Moss out. Tino rolls up, with the ropes, but the referee sees it! He and Tino argue, but Otis comes back with a headbutt. Otis tags Tucker, and Tucker hits Moss with a cannonball!
Otis lifts Tino, Tucker runs in, and together they hit the Compacter!
Heavy Machinery wins! They tie the series up 1-1, can they win the eventual rubber match?
Things remain tense between Moss & Sabbatelli.
Moss walks over while fans chant “Tino Sucks!” Tino holds his hand out to Moss…
But Moss rejects it! Moss leaves Tino hanging, are they done as a tag team?
Johnny Gargano is here!
Johnny Wrestling wrestled his heart out and then some against El Idolo for the NXT Championship at TakeOver: Philadelphia. Unfortunately, Gargano came up short and Andrade “Cien” Almas is still El Campeon. On top of that, his former friend turned mortal enemy, Tommaso Ciampa, attacked him from behind, reminding him of their unfinished business. Even so, the fans are still behind Gargano like no one else, and he smiles. Gargano hears them out on their chants before speaking. “It’s been a hell of a month!” He went into Philadelphia the most confident he’s ever been, with his entire family there to watch him, and he felt he was winning the match to become NXT Champion. That didn’t happen, and it sucks, but seeing the fans and getting the reaction he did, “it is very, very obvious to me now”, that what he really earned is more important than a title. He earned the respect of the NXT Universe. Gargano had the “match of a lifetime” and even without a title, he is still “Johnny FREAKIN’ Wrestling!” Philadelphia will be a night he never forgets, because of Tommaso Ciampa’s sneak attack “crutch shot to the back.” He held his tongue, but now that he’s back… “Ciampa, I’m coming for you!”
Gargano wants to end this “face to face, man to man”, but instead he gets Almas and Zelina Vega.
Almas & Vega take their time walking out to the ring, but Gargano doesn’t take his eyes off them. They enter the ring, and Almas holds up his NXT Championship while Vega fetches a mic. Vega speaks, “You earned their respect? Who cares!” Gargano didn’t earn a thing, nor should he be out here. Almas should be out here with a celebratory parade and confetti, instead of listening to Gargano complain about his loss. Gargano only proved that he’s a loser. Ciampa had nothing to do with Gargano losing, because Almas has beaten Gargano “again and again and again”. Johnny Wrestling? He’s “Johnny Loser!” The fans chant “We Want Candice!” in reference to Mrs. Wrestling, Candice LeRae. Gargano says his favorite part of TakeOver was earning the NXT Universe’s respect. His second favorite part was when Candice jumped the rail and “beat the hell out of” Zelina. Zelina gets in Gargano’s face and starts shoving him while trash talking. The fans chant for “Candice! Candice!” and she appears!
Then she shoves Zelina down! Gargano goes after Almas, and Mr. & Mrs. Wrestling have the fans all fired up. Almas & Vega take their leave, but with Vega having one last word. “I am SICK of you!” What will it take to get rid of Gargano after the 3-0 sweep? Gargano is he worst, so what will it take?! Give him another shot, that’s what it’ll take! Vega makes it clear: “We give you a championship match, but if you lose, you leave NXT for good!” Gargano accepts that challenge, because if he can’t be NXT Champion, he might as well leave. Candice tries to talk reason into Gargano, but the match has been made. Will Gargano regret his level of determination?
NXT Paparazzi interviews Shayna Baszler.
The Queen of Spades only needed a month to become “the most feared woman in NXT.” If no one believes her, just ask Dakota Kai or Aliyah. Ask Ember! If you get in the ring with her, you either “tap, nap or snap.” Even so, Ember Moon retained the title. What’s next? There is no “next”, because Ember Moon is too scared to have a rematch. Ember knows that getting in the ring means losing her title. Shayna already took her arm, so that’s why Ember won’t give her a shot. And feel free to tell Ember that Shayna said so.
Backstage interview with Tyler Bate.
A “frustrating” loss to Roderick Strong last week means the American Savior of the Backbreaker will challenge the WWE United Kingdom Champion, Pete Dunne, for the title next week. How does that feel to Bate? “It’s difficult to not get upset”, but he still congratulates Strong on being the #1 contender. Don’t count Bate out just yet, he’ll be watching closely. On a more positive note, Bate and Dunne won NXT Match of the Year 2017. It’s a great honor that he’s extremely proud of, and he’s hoping to have another Match of the Year in 2018 against some of NXT’s best and brightest. Can the young man from Mustache Mountain rebound to triumph like he did last year?
Bianca Belair VS Jessix Hill!
Ms. EST returns to prove she is the strongest, fastest and all-around best woman in NXT. Her opponent offers a handshake, and Bianca accepts it, but then doesn’t let go. She uses it to reel Jessix into a half-straitjacket and then the Torture Rack!
Bianca shows she’s the cockiest as she bends Jessix while doing squats! Then she shows she’s the meanest as she throws Jessix down with an Argentine Death Valley Driver!
Jessix flounders, Bianca keeps going with her reverse powerbomb!
Bianca covers, Bianca wins! That was definitely one of Bianca’s fastest wins, can she make fast work of the Women’s Division to become NXT Women’s Champion?
NXT takes a look at Kairi Sane.
The Pirate Princess of Stardom came to the WWE and won the inaugural Mae Young Classic.
She joined the NXT Women’s Division but was kept from the title thanks to the Queen of Spades’ sneak attack. Even so, she still set sail and made a splash in the inaugural Women’s Royal Rumble match. Can she weather the tides and ride a wave to the very top in 2018?
Ember Moon Tweets her reply to Shayna Baszler.
The rematch is set! Will the NXT Women’s Champion survive by the skin of her teeth? Or will the Queen of Spades have the winning hand to have her hand raised in the end?
Six Man Tornado Tag: SAnitY VS The Undisputed Era!
The chaotic crew of Young, Wolfe & Dain may have delayed their NXT Tag Team Championship rematch with O’Reilly & Fish, but at least they get to wreak havoc on them and Adam Cole all at the same time! Can SAnitY win as one before trying for gold again?
Each team dares the other to bring the fight, SAnitY wanting Undisputed Era to come in while the Undisputed Era want SAnitY to come out. In the end, the shiny bait of the tag team titles gets SAnitY to leave the ring, and we have another brawl!
The bell rings and this match officially starts! Damo rocks O’Reilly while Wolfe goes after Fish. Eric Young puts Cole into the ring, then follows, but Cole and reDRagon retaliate on him and SAnitY. The brawl continues in the ring, back and forth in three separate pairs. Wolfe stomps Fish and they spill back outside while Eric stomps Cole and Damo knocks O’Reilly down. Cole slips out while Damo throws O’Reilly over the top rope. Fish fights back on Wolfe, so Damo comes over to mule kick him right in the gut. Wolfe switches to O’Reilly while Eric keeps on Cole back inside the ring. Eric bumps Cole off buckles while Wolfe counters and bounces O’Reilly off the announce desk!
Cole reverses Eric to whip him corner to corner then hit him with a neckbreaker. He rains down rights while Damo & Wolfe hammer away on reDRagon. Fish & O’Reilly turn things around on Damo & Wolfe, Cole gives Eric crossface punches. While Cole starts to trash talk Eric, Damo bicycle boots Fish!
SAnitY and The Undisputed Era are still evenly matched while we go to break.
NXT returns to see Big Damo use one of the NXT Tag Team Championship belts as a weapon on Fish!
Fish goes down while Eric rocks Cole with rights and Kyle kicks Wolfe down. Damo throws Fish at the steps to the upper level, and Wolfe tosses O’Reilly to bounce off the announce desk again! The fans fire up as Eric decides to go under the ring and pull out some weapons. They really light up when he brings out a table!
He brings that around the corner and sets it up against the barriers. Wolfe meanwhile jams a chair into Kyle’s ribs, and Eric brings Cole up. Wolfe SMACKS Kyle across the back while Eric lifts Cole, but Cole resists the suplex. Cole throws Eric into the steel steps while Kyle ducks the chair shot. The chair smacks a steel post, then Kyle kicks Wolfe low to drop him down. Damo puts Fish in the corner while Kyle sits Wolfe in the chair for knee strikes. Kyle then gets on the apron and takes aim, for a Meteora knee drop!
While the referee checks on Kyle and Wolfe, Damo stalks Fish into a corner. Damo whips him corner to corner then runs in, big corner splash! However, Cole runs away and Eric pursues down a stairway to the lower halls.
Kyle follows Eric, and it’s a 2v1 attack in “the catacombs” of the arena. Damo continues on Fish with another corner to corner whip. Fish dodges the splash this time, then catches Damo with a heel kick! Meanwhile, Wolfe has followed Cole and Kyle to make it a fair 2v2 backstage brawl!
Back in the ring, Fish moonsaults!
TWO! Fish is shocked. The brawl backstage continues, Eric taking Cole and bouncing him off trunks before stretching and scraping at Cole’s mouth. Meanwhile, Fish goes under the ring to fetch a kendo stick! He shows off his prowess with the weapon before entering the ring with it, only for Damo to block it with his bare hands! And behold: Cole, Young, Kyle and Wolfe have returned to ringside!
Damo chases Fish out of the ring and around it to the stage. Fish runs out of places to run, so he tries fighting back. His forearm does nothing, but Damo’s forearm knocks Fish on his ass! Damo then sees their teammates gathering nearby, so he brings Fish up to throw him onto them!
The fans are thunderous as Wolfe, Young and all of the Undisputed Era are down on the ground. Damo fires himself up as fans chant “NXT! NXT!” and we go to break.
NXT returns once again, and now Damo has Cole alone in the ring. This was meant to be one of the singles matches tonight and now we get the next best thing. Damo drags Cole up for clubbing crossface forearms. The rest of their teams recover on the outside while Damo mocks the “BAYBAY”. He rocks Cole with another hard right hand, then drags him up for a fireman’s carry. Cole fights his way down then ducks the lariat to retaliate with an enziguri! Damo rolls out of the ring but Wolfe returns. Wolfe gets the waistlock but Cole breaks free with a back elbow. Cole enziguris but Wolfe ducks, to then lift Cole for a sit-out powerbomb!
Cover, but Kyle returns to break it with a kick. Now Fish returns, he barrels Wolfe into the corner, and reDRagon runs a corner attack train on Wolfe! Kyle hits a forearm smash, Fish hits a knee, then Kyle hits a knee before feeding him to Fish’s exploder suplex! Cover, but Damo returns to break it with a back senton!
Damo rocks Kyle with a right hand, then brings him over to Fish, to ram Kyle into Fish with the Michinoku Driver!
Cover on Fish, but Cole breaks it with a SUPERKICK! Cole covers but Eric breaks it with a diving elbow drop! The fans are all fired up even as all six men are down. They chant for “NXT! NXT!” while the referee checks on each man. Eric sits up and gets to his feet while Cole stirs on the other end. Cole kicks but Eric dodges, to hit Cole back with his own SUPERKICK!
Kyle knees Eric to then give him the Ax ‘n’ Smash! He swings on Wolfe but misses, Wolfe throws Kyle with a big German Suplex! Fish returns to Samoan Drop Wolfe, but Damo clobbers Fish with the discus lariat! Damo sees Cole, and rocks him with a bicycle boot! He then grins, as he sees Cole is by the table. The fans want it, so Damo goes for it. He cannonballs, but Cole gets out of the way, Damo crashes through the table!
The referee checks on Damo while Cole catches his breath. Cole returns to the ring, he and reDRagon have Wolfe alone 3v1. They stomp away on Wolfe, then Cole has Fish & O’Reilly bring Wolfe up. Fish holds Wolfe up, Kyle runs in, but Wolfe dodges to send Kyle’s kick into Fish! Wolfe knocks Kyle out of the way, then bicycle boots Cole! Wolfe then goes after Kyle with forearms and European Uppercuts. He prepares another powerbomb but Cole comes back with a SUPERKICK! Then reDRagon hits Total Elimination!!
But while Fish covers, Eric returns, to SMACK with the kendo stick! Eric tees off on Kyle, but then Cole SUPERKICKS Eric! The fans are loving this, even as reDRagon targets Eric. They kick-vice Eric, then Cole brings him up to hit the Last Shot!
Fish covers, TWO!? The Undisputed Era cannot believe Eric survived! They are frustrated as well as shocked, but the fans know “This is Awesome!” Also, the Beast of Belfast rises again. He stands across from them in the ring while they fan out to flank him. Damo dares them to bring it, so they do in another 3v1 attack! They club away with forearm after forearm, but then Damo explodes out!
Damo rallies on the Undisputed Era, brings Cole up in the fireman’s carry to then slam him down. Fish staggers over and Damo uses him for the dropkick senton! Kyle stands up, Damo runs him over with the Divide crossbody! Damo goes back to Fish, and shovels him up onto his shoulders. He walks to the middle of the ring, to hit the Ulster Plantation!
Damo covers, SAnitY wins!
With such power in their possession, can the manic might of SAnitY bring the NXT Tag Team titles back into their possession as well?
My Thoughts:
Another great episode of NXT, with a great twist right from the start. We think we’re getting a NXT Tag Team Championship rematch but SAnitY ends up costing themselves that opportunity by taking the fight to the Undisputed Era. Of course, the alternative we get still amazing, with it being No DQ and no tags. Damo continues to impress, as he turns things around practically all by himself. He definitely makes a major case for being the NXT Champion even though he’s not even SAnitY’s leader. By comparison, the other matches weren’t quite as good, but still intriguing in their own ways. Heavy Machinery get back that loss from before TakeOver, but I’m a bit surprised that Moss & Sabbatelli are already on the rocks. Sabbatelli is definitely a heat magnet with how the fans chanted so strongly that he sucks, but I’m not really sure what either man can accomplish as singles competitors. Maybe they’ll try something unique with a story of Tino trying to get back in Moss’ good graces so that they can stay together in the Tag Team Division. Then Bianca Belair wins another squash match, no surprise there. She’s still an impressive talent but I hope they figure something more relevant for her to do while she waits for the title. Then speaking of, the rest of the night was to help set up for next week. Next week will be stacked with both an NXT Women’s Championship rematch-after Shayna goads Ember into granting her another chance-and then a WWE United Kingdom Championship match to see if Strong can make some crossover history. I would be pleasantly shocked if both titles changed hands, but I would think Ember drops the Women’s Championship before Dunne drops his UK Championship, especially to an American competitor.
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?
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.
.@Kelly_WP is back in TNA Wrestling and has a message for TNA Knockouts World Champion @mashaslamovich!

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.Â
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?Â
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?Â

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

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?

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!

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
