He’s been dying to come to the Royal Albert Hall himself. He reflects on the inagural UK Championship Tournament, “and quite frankly, we were blown away.” That night changed what it means to be a UK wrestler. WWE told everyone there would be more. Talent like Wolfgang, Tyler Bate, Trent Seven, Mark Andrews, Pete Dunne, they’ve all turned themselves into global names. But that is just the beginning. Looking at just these first two rounds, it’s so clear that WWE is scratching the surface. HHH is here to tell us that we will get more. Fans chant “YES! YES!” HHH continues by introducing “one of the godfathers of British wrestling”, the new GM, Johnny Saint!

July 28th and 29 in Cambridge, to August 25th and 26th in Birmingham, to October 13th and 14th in Plymouth, and November 24th and 25th in Liverpool. There’s just one question left to ask: “Are you ready?!” This is just the beginning of a great new chapter for all pro-wrestling!

Winners: British Strong Style, Bate pinning

Royal Albert Hall gives a standing ovation to the winning home team! Pete Dunne is WWE UK Champion, and awaits his challenger tomorrow. Will he still be champion after that match? And Mustache Mountain get their own shot at the NXT Tag Team Championships tomorrow, will it be a golden British Strong Style going forward?

 

Shawn Michales is here!

The Heartbreak Kid is in the Royal Albert Hall, a great surprise for the fans. HBK lets the fans sing his song before speaking. “You gotta admit, it’s still a pretty snappy tune, is it not?” After 30 years, HBK was never scared to follow anything. But after that Six Man, he is. To be perfectly honest, this entire show officially scares HBK. As much as HBK wants to go down memory lane to 1991 and the first WWE match here in Royal Albert Hall. HBK is honored just to be a small part of history, and to celebrate with the fans– The fans want “One More Match”? Stop with that. But being part of history, #NXTUK, it gives back to the fans that have supported WWE for years here. “With that said, let’s get to our final match!”

 

WWE UK Championship Tournament 2018 Final: Zack Gibson VS Travis Banks!

This is the reason we are here! It will either be Liverpool’s Number One or the Kiwi Buzzsaw that wins the right to face Pete Dunne tomorrow. However, is it even fair for Travis after what Joe Coffey tried to do to him? You don’t see any complaints from him, so this match is still happening!

Gibson still doesn’t shake hands, there’s still no respect for anyone else. Fans let him know what they think as the bell rings. Gibson and Travis stare down, and Gibson tells Travis to ignore the fans and focus on the fight. They circle, tie up, and they’re even for the most part. Gibson goes for the arm but Travis gets to ropes. Gibson backs off, and they circle again. They tie up again, Travis gets the waistlock but Gibson get that arm. Another ropebreak backs Gibson off, and they go again. Travis kicks Gibson’s leg, then they tie up. Travis gets a waistlock and takedown, but Gibson reaches. They shift to a headlock but Gibson reverses out. Gibson uses the bad arm for a takedown, but Travis breaks free to chop Gibson off his feet! Fans like the look of that.

Gibson gets back up, they tie up, and Gibson powers Travis to a corner. He goes after the arm with the ropes, but Travis fires off with the good arm! Travis kicks, too, then chops. Gibson shoves him away, but Travis kicks him down. Gibson gets out of the ring to catch his breath, but Travis pursues. They brawl on the outside, but Gibson goes after the bad arm again. Gibson throws an elbow, but Travis body shots back. Gibson’s EuroUpper rocks Travis, but Travis follows, only for Gibson to go back out. He drags Travis back out, but Travis kicks him against the barriers. Gibson grabs the leg, to then hammerlock the arm before throwing it into the barrier. Gibson hammerlocks Travis again before throwing him into steel steps! Travis writhes while Gibson returns into the ring.

The referee checks on Travis, but Gibson just grins as he comes back out. Gibson drags Travis up and in, then stomps a mudhole into that bad arm. He clubs away, and even pulls at the tape before clobbering Travis with a clothesline. Gibson goes after the tape more, then grounds and pounds. He covers, TWO, but he’s right back on the arm. Fans cheer for Travis but Gibson puts Travis in the half-nelson. Travis endures, but Gibson just bends and twists the arm more. Gibson even stomps on it! Travis crawls to a corner, but he won’t let the ref stop this match.

Gibson looms over Travis as he kicks him. He brings Travis up for a big forearm, then tells Travis to stay down. He hits Travis again, but Travis won’t stay down. Gibson gives another forearm, but Travis grits his teeth to give chops back. They go back and forth, and Travis even gets that bad arm going. Travis sweeps Gibson’s legs, then runs for the dropkick! Gibson gets out of the ring, but fans rally as Travis takes aim. Travis runs, and DIVES!

He takes Gibson out, then puts him back in. Travis runs more, shotgun knee! Cover, TWO! That bad arm was likely a factor, but Travis doesn’t lose his cool. Fans rally as he goes over and climbs up, diving double stomps! Cover, TWO! Gibson drags himself to ropes, but Travis is first to stand. Travis and Gibson claw in a corner, but the referee backs Travis up. Gibson kicks the bad arm, then Ticket to Ride! Cover, TWO! Gibson grows frustrated while Travis crawls away. Travis is on the apron, but Gibson follows. Gibson grabs Travis, goes to suplex, but Travis resists.

Travis knees Gibson off the apron, then takes aim, to leap. He has to roll through, and Gibson throat chops! Gibson whips Travis at a barrier, but Travis jumps up, Slice of Heaven off the barrier! It connects, but Travis is also down after that landing. The 10 count begins and reaches 7 before either man stands. Travis and Gibson beat it at 9, and they glare at each other. They stand up and start brawling again with forearms. Gibson and Travis fire off whatever they can, but neither man falls. In fact, they just speed up! Gibson SLAPS Travis! Travis is dazed, but he still SLAPS back. Now it’s a slap fight of open palm strikes. Back and forth, but then Gibson forearms again. Travis boots Gibson!

Travis fires up and starts giving kicks. “YES! YES!” but Gibson catches one. But Travis pries himself free, to then stomp and stomp and stomp! Travis brings Gibson up, but Gibson wrings him out. Fans rally, but Gibson goes for his hold. He grinds in a forearm, but Travis holds on. Travis arm-drags out, then runs, but Slice misses. Gibson grabs him, SHANKLY GATES!! Travis endures, and even bites his fingers to ignore the arm pain. ROPEBREAK!! Somehow, someway, Travis survives. Gibson himself is so tired, he can only give short kicks. He tries to use the ropes in the hold, but Travis arm-drags him out. Travis gets to the apron, LEAPING stomp! He puts Gibson in, runs, SLICE OF HEAVEN! Cover, TWO!? How?! But that doesn’t matter, so long as both men get up again.

Fans rally and will them up. Travis drags Gibson up and tries to use both arms, but Gibson just trips Travis for the high stack cover. He’s using the ropes! The referee catches that and stops his count. Gibson tries to plead with the referee, but Travis gets to a corner. Travis runs in and clobbers him! He fires up, KIWI CRUSHER!! TWO!?!? Another shocking survival! Gibson is dazed but fans rally up for Travis again. Gibson gets out of the ring again, giving himself more time. But Travis builds speed again, to DIVE!

But Gibson deflected it enough, then hurries Travis into the ring for Helter Skelter!! Cover, TWO!!! Now Gibson is shocked by Travis. But he won’t stop, either, he wants and gets Shankly Gates! Travis endures all over again, drags himself all over again, but Gibson rolls him away. Travis flails, reaches, but taps! Gibson wins!!

Winner: Gibson, by submission; wins the 2018 UK Championship Tournament, will face Pete Dunne for the title tomorrow

Liverpool’s Number One wins, and could be the entire UK’s Number One. And as if to add insult to injury, only now does Gibson want a handshake. Travis considers it, even though fans say not to. Gibson takes back his offer, so much for respect. With such a gritty performance tonight, can Gibson muster up what it takes to defeat The British Bruiserweight?

Johnny Saint, HHH & HBK make their way back out to congratulate the winner, but they still shake Travis’ hand to commend his efforts. Does this mean good things for The Kiwi Buzzsaw in the future of the WWE UK Brand?

Saint, HHH & HBK join Gibson in the ring and shake his hand. Gibson is on cloud nine but it’s bittersweet for the fans. Gibson then decides to speak. “I am Liverpool’s–” But wait, here comes Dunne! The WWE UK Champion wants to see his challenger in person. Dunne smirks at Gibson as he makes his way back into the ring. They stand face to face, and Dunne raises his belt. Will he be raising his belt again after their match?

 

 

My Thoughts:

This entire night was amazing! Nothing was a disappointment, but plenty was shocking and entertaining. The only thing was that the Women’s Triple Threat seemed short. It was still good with the fast pace, but if Toni was going to win so easily, maybe it should’ve just been 1v1. Toni VS Shayna is still going to be great for the finale. That Six Man of Undisputed Era VS British Strong Style would’ve likely happened months ago if Bate hadn’t gotten hurt, but it was definitely worth the wait! Bate & Seven are shoe-ins for the future UK Tag Team Championships, as is Toni for the future Women’s Championship. Cole VS Wolfgang for the NXT North American Championship and Undisputed Era VS Mustache Mountain for the NXT Tag Team Championships are going to be great, too.

All the matches in the tournament were great, not a bad one in the bunch. Zack Gibson was truly the Heel of this entire tournament, but he never had to cheat. He did, but he didn’t have to, because he won through just being a gritty bastard. I thought this result wasn’t going to happen, but then I remembered Pete Dunne is actually more a Face-Tweener these days, what with Strong & The Undisputed Era being the Heels he’s up against. Though, for the sake of getting fans to mark out as hard as they possibly could, I still would’ve given Travis Banks the win. But WWE just loves Face VS Heel. Either way, the title match will be at least equal to tonight’s final, but I doubt Dunne loses.

My Score: 9/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 3.27.2025

Bad news out of the TNA management side, but this is a taped episode from El Paso! So we won’t see any of the fallout just yet!

Published

20 hours ago

March 27, 2025

By

Now we all heard the news about the TNA change in hierarchy, and I…have no positive outlook on that. Delirious sucked at booking and creative in the dying days of ROH before it got bought as a B show. Dreamer having even more control is concerning because his ideas the last two years haven’t been much better.

Gail leaving makes more sense to me. Be it firing or a “you can’t quit, you’re fired” kind of situation, the Knockouts division is the worst it’s been in a long time and Gail was close with Scott D’Amore. So I don’t think Gail parting ways is as big of a problem since TNA has slowly been bleeding out with the Scott faithful.

Granted, I think the next few shows were already taped before the firing so things shouldn’t be completely unwatchable for at least a week or two. So let’s see where we’re going.

Ratings:

  • Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley vs Elegance Clique w/Personal Concierge: Ash wins via Rarefied Air – ** 1/4
  • Fir$t Cla$$ & Frankie Kazarian vs Laredo Kid, Octagon Jr & Chavo Guerrero Jr: Chavo wins via Gory Bomb into Frog Splash – *** 1/4
  • Jacy Jayne vs Masha Slamovich: Masha wins via Russian Death Device – ***
  • Eric Young w/two losers vs Ace Austin: Eric wins via Piledriver – ** 1/2
  • Seto & Mokuba – I mean – Nic Nemeth w/Ryan Nemeth vs Leon Slater: Nic wins via Danger Zone – *** 1/4

 

Results:

Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley vs Elegance Clique w/Personal Concierge

Ash and Gigi start off, Gigi with a little Rascalz after her first takedown. So both her and Wentz are making it obvious something’s going on between them, and I’m not mad at it. Good for my man Wentz.

Tatum and Gigi get some quick tandem offense in, Ash does manage to scurry off to a tag and Heather gets bent into a Pretzel. Some kind of Inverted Tarantula from Tatum, Gigi tags in, Bronco Buster on Heather followed by Kawada Kicks. Heather sells against the ropes, Gigi goes for a Hesitation Dropkick, but Concierge pulls her away so Gigi crashes and burns. Ref is distracted, Ash gets in some cheap shots and then the Elegant duo starts working over Gigi. A few quick tags, but once Heather comes in, Gigi fights out of the corner, gets the hot tag to Tatum. Tatum stacks up both Elegance members, Corner Stacked Crossbody, Butterfly Suplex and an Elbow Drop with some some flare. Tatum goes to the top rope, Heather pulls Gigi off the apron, Concierge shoves Tatum off the turnbuckle and Ash hits Rarefied Air for the win.

Post match the Elegance Clique wants to make their wish with the cake, they light the candles and Tatum and Gigi recover enough to do what we all expected last week, the cake in the face spot. Some…suggestive licking from both of our Hot Topic Hotties, so…no complaints here. 

Fir$t Cla$$ & Frankie Kazarian vs Laredo Kid, Octagon Jr & Chavo Guerrero Jr

Chavo and Kaz start since he’s King Petty, a quick rope run turns into a Headscissor from Chavo. Kaz recovers, they lock up, Kaz hits the Knee Lift during the lock up to tag out to KC. KC pulls off some athletic dodges, gloats a bit so Chavo waits, measures and nails a gorgeous Dropkick. Laredo comes in on fire, quick high spots that send KC bouncing around like HBK against Hulk. KC powders after sells the Satellite Takedown, AJ checks on him and we go to commercial.

Back from commercial, Octagon is lighting up KC’s chest with overhand chops, he perches, Sunset Headscissor Flip from corner to corner, KC tries to Back Drop him but Octagon does a headstand, kicks KC away and lays him out with a high spot. AJ gets on the apron to stop Octagon from running the ropes, the referee has a stroke or something because he stops paying attention and AJ pulls Octagon out of the ring and chucks him. KC with the Tope con Hilo and tag (tag ropes haven’t mattered since the 80s we all know this). So AJ is getting taunted by the crowd in Spanish, but he’s manhandling Octagon since it looks like a Child fighting their parent. AJ knocks off Chavo and Laredo, Laredo pops up and tries to get involved but he’s caught on the shoulders, Octagon goes for the Crossbody but gets caught and AJ pulls off “World’s Strongest Wasteland” but Chavo breaks up the pinfall. AJ throws Octagon into the corner, Tennessee Whiskey, and tag out to KC. KC hits a few moves, but starts to lose the momentum until he connects with a Super Kick. Simultaneous rope run into the Dueling Crossbodies, so we get the timely tag outs from both sides. Kaz and Laredo come in, Laredo lands like two moves before Kaz hits a Sole Butt, Lariat and eats his lunch. KC and Kaz try to double team Laredo but he fights out and the crowd is chanting for Chavo.

Chavo tags in, and he’s rocking KC, Saito Suplex, Low Bridge to AJ, Reverse the Whip so Chavo goes to the corner and perches, KC feeds, Chavo Backflips to safety, rolls through and lays out KC. Chavo is feeling himself, 3 Amigos start on KC but only 2, Kaz comes in and Chavo switches to Kaz for the Amigos, only 2 again before AJ breaks it up. AJ goes for the disrespect, but Chavo counters and hits the 3 Amigos on the biggest Culero. Aztec Warriors dive to stop AJ and Kaz, KC tries a Dirty Victory Roll but Chavo kicks out. GORY BOMB into FROG SPLASH!

Chavo looked fantastic and he’s the one in the best shape in the ring. I wouldn’t be mad at more Chavito. 

Jacy Jayne vs Masha Slamovich

I expect very little from this match.

Collar and Elbow, gator rolling for the first 30 seconds or so, then Jacy goes to some Hair Pull takedowns and does a little taunt before Masha pops back up and hits a Lariat into a Dive. Jacy sells it like she’s really hurt, even the ref tries to hold Masha back a little before Masha gets annoyed and just grabs her, Masha throws her in, looks for a Dive and Jacy sees it and powders. Masha tries to go back to the well for the Dive again but Jacy hits the Uppercut and then an Apron Run PK to drop Masha. Forearms rain down into a Foot Choke as Jacy continues to arrogantly play to the crowd. Another Foot Choke into a Cannonball, and near fall.

Masha gets space with a Sole Butt, tries to snap off Requiem but Jacy fights off, fights through a Sunset Flip another effective PK keeps Masha on her ass. Jacy looks for a kinda half-assed Camel Clutch as Masha is fighting up, but Jacy runs her into the corner, gets distracted mouthing off to the crowd, so Masha recovers, 5 Hole Up Kick sends Jacy into the corner, Yakuza Kick into Capo Kick for two. Requiem attempt again, but Jacy pushes off, a little back and forth, Masha tries a Backslide but Jacy gets away and hits a V-Trigger but only a 2 count. Jacy looks for the Discus Punch but Masha ducks it, they strike back and forth, but some dodges from both leave the exchange more even. Jacy with the Front Kick to the face sends Masha to the outside. Jacy wants another PK, but Masha blocks, Electric Chair Apron Snake Eyes. Masha throws her in, a PK into a near all. Requiem attempt 3, and thwarted from Jacy with a Superkick into a Neckbreaker. Senton misses from Jacy, Buzzsaw Kick, into Spinning Back Kick and Russian Death Device for the win.

Better than I expected, and Tessa attacks as soon as the bell rings. Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Li make the save after Tessa grabs the belt. 

Eric Young w/two losers vs Ace Austin

Ace and Eric tie up, World of Sport start but as soon as Ace starts to get away EY punches him in the face. Eric looks at the camera and says “This is what trust looks like”, turns his back on Ace, when Ace looks to attack, the loser duo cut him off. EY takes advantage of the weird situation, but Ace with some Up and Over quick spots, into an Inside Cradle and La Magistral. EY kicks out of the quick flash attempts, but eats a Dropkick, and Ace goes all Speed Kils on him with fast strikes and then a face buster for another near fall. Strike spot very early in the match, Ace gets the best of it, goes for a Tear Drop Suplex but EY sits on it to block, Headlocks to keep him close and then a snap Lariat into beatdown bully tactics. EY takes the referee’s attention and one of the nerds punch Ace in the face.

Eric tries to lean on Ace, but Ace fires, a few strikes, Click Click Boom, the Miz Seated Lariats in the corner, Mochizuki Triangle Kick connects! Only a 2 count, but Ace seems to be in control. Ace puts EY on the ropes, a few strikes to keep him rocked, wants a Superplex, but EY blocks, bites the face and Macho Elbow gets a very close two count. EY tries the Piledriver but Ace turns it into a Jacknife Cradle,Spinning Heel Kick, calls for The Fold, but the losers hop on the apron to distract, Ace attacks them. Ace tries to time out the Triangle Kick again, but Eric dodges, throws Ace head first through the buckles. As Ace stumbles out of the corner, Piledriver, and it’s over.

Oh look it’s the “we’ll hear from Joe Hendry” segment. Again, I’ve loved this gimmick since Day 1, even didn’t hate his What Culture Pro stuff, but there is such a thing as milking a cow too much. 

Elijah interrupts the whole “Who’s next” speech. When Elijah comes out he says he’s not the challenger and he believes in Joe. The crowd wants Elijah to turn on Hendry. Elijah pauses for a moment, and starts proving his friendship with stating his favorite color and a little “You Got a Friend in Me”. The crowd is into singing along and waving their cameras like Lighters to a 30 year old song. THANKFULLY Kaz breaks up the hug fest. Now he gets the “Culero” chant. 

Kaz pulls out a Bass…what the hell is this Jam Session. Kaz has to warm up so he plays “La Cucaracha” on the bass. Kaz…is a national treasure. Hendry kicks Kaz out of the ring after his Heelish and playfully racially charged song choices. Kaz tries to sow dissension, but Joe and Elijah pinball Kaz between them. Kaz slips a power move and tries to shove Elijah into Joe but Elijah puts the brakes on, a small tense moment. But then Joe and Elijah play “Nah Nah Nah Nah, Hey Hey, Goodbye”…and that goes right into a commercial. Oddly…perfect.

Nic Nemeth w/Ryan Nemeth vs Leon Slater

Nic shoots the half immediately for a flash pinfall but Leon kicks out at one. Nic continues to keep things grounded with his amateur wrestling skills, and then does a little Dolph Ziggler show off. So Nic isn’t really taking this seriously, and Leon starts getting the best of things with an Arm Wringer, into drag, Shoulder Tackle and rope run as Nic tries to Leap Frog and Leon puts on the brakes and just shoves Nic on his ass. Nic gets annoyed, a few strikes, grinds his face along the ropes, but Leon keeps stringing some offense together, Back Handspring Elbow into his Corner con Hilo.

Ahh the classic formula of the commercial gives the heel the advantage, Twisting Suplex from Leon stops Nic’s offense momentum, right hand, Leon lifts Nic up for something, Nic slips it, kicks him in the gut, looks for the FameAsser, but Leon catches him into a Blue Thunder Bomb variation. Slater wants the Swanton 450, but Nic powders. Leon tries to adjust into a Dive, but Nic cuts him off, counter for counter and a FameAsser out of the counters for a two count. Nic starts the big brother tactics, bootwashes and arrogance, Slater fires, punches into a Yakuza Kick. Leon wants another Lethal Injection variant, but Nic catches him into a Rear Naked Choke. Slater tries to turn it into a pin so Nic breaks it. Leon wants a Leg Lariat but misses and gets unceremoniously dropped by Nic. Nic puts Leon up on the buckles, Superplex possibly but Slater counters, tries to collect himself for a move, but Nic falls into the ropes to crotch Leon, and finally hits the Superplex.

Twist of Slate from Leon, Swanton 450 but knees get up. Locomotion Cradles from both but they kick out, Ryan picks the ankle to trip up Leon just a touch and then Danger Zone ends the match.

Ryan starts the post match beatdown, but the Hardy’s music hits and they come down to the ring for the save. Matt challenges the Nemeths for Rebellion because they’re not medically cleared yet.

 

Overall Score: 6.5/10

Decent story motion, no match was offensive, and there was actually some solid match action for television standards. I don’t have a ton to complain about aside from the Knockouts Division is in a weird spot, and giving Hendry a lot of just talking and hollow payoff segments feels stupid. If we need to hear from him every week, give him a talk segment like Highlight Reel or something. Yes I know First Class just got The Penthouse, but if Hendry is going to talk more than wrestle, give him a talk segment for us to sink our teeth into.

There was the announcement that Xia, Lei Ying and Masha will face Tessa, Jacy and a mystery partner. So you gotta wonder if there’s going to be another NXT mercenary, a surprise return or if it’ll just be Rosemary since she’s got her issues with Xia. Also I just realized that Unbreakable is going to be on a Thursday, seemingly after iMPACT? I’m gonna have to see how they do it, because if there’s an Impact episode and 2-3 hour PLE…I do not want to be awake until 1am. People need to work, and I will be Unwakeable if things go that long.

Diamante wants to work with Athena?

The ROH Women’s World Champion has Billie Starkz, but it seems Diamante wants to change that. Will she make herself Minion Numero Uno?

OFFICIAL RESULTS

  • Dark Panther VS Okumura; Panther wins.

PLAY BY PLAY

Athena talks with Diamante.

The Fallen Goddess tells the Cuban Diamond, “Tonight is going to be very, very crucial to you joining MIT. I just don’t take people barging their way into my group, my prestigious academy.” Billie Starkz walks in and says hi to “Boss” Athena and “Di,” but Athena ignores her to continue explaining that this is Diamante’s initiation. This is a test to see if- Billie pokes Athena in the shoulder and Athena asks, “Yes?” Billie says hi, and Athena says cool. Anyway, this is going to test if Diamante has what it takes to be part of the Forever Champion’s MIT. Diamante says sure. Billie keeps wanting Athena’s attention and Athena asks what she wants.

Billie motions as if to say she’s expecting something, and Athena says, “What? You want me to say, ‘Hi, Billie. You’ve been doing so great. You’ve been busy, busy being a busy bee meddling in everyone’s business.’ Tonight, it’s not about you. We’ve been there, we’ve done that. And it’s time that we bring something… new to MIT.” Billie says that’s great. Athena says tonight, they don’t need Billie. She can go meddle in someone else’s business. Athena & Diamante leave and Billie is shocked that she’s being left out. Is Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths being further demoted?

Six Man Tag: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Willie Mack VS Johnny TV & MXM Collection!

The Sons of Texas are getting a bit tired of Mansoor & Mason Madden obsessing over the ROH World Tag Team Championships, but they have to go one more round with them and their new pal. But they’re not clowning around, because they’re bringing the Chocolate Juggalo along! Will Mack help The Natural & The Spanish God shine? Or will they not be #TVReady?

The trios sort out and Mack starts against Johnny. The fans rally, Johnny and Mack circle, and they keep the Code of Honor. They circle and tie up, and Mack powers Johnny back.

But Johnny blocks the chop to spin Sammy around and DECK him! The fans boo but Johnny points to Mansoor. Mason goes nuts rallying for Mansoor as Johnny tags him in. Johnny & Mansoor reel Sammy in for a DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX, but Sammy lands out! Sammy ducks the double lariat, ELBOWS Johnny away, then BOOTS Mansoor! QUEBRADA! Direct hit on both men, and Sammy brings Mansoor over to tag Dustin!

The fans fire up as the Sons of Texas whip the Iron Chic! Atomic drop! Then DOUBLE RHODES UPPERCUT! The fans cheer, Dustin brings Mansoor up to whip, but Mansoor reverses. Mansoor blocks the boot, but not the UPPERCUT! Mansoor distracts the ref and that lets Mason CLOBBER Dustin from the apron! The ref is busy with Sammy & Mack so he missed that, and fans boo as Mansoor stomps away. Tag to Mason, he CHOKES Dustin on the ropes, and the ref counts. Mason stops at 4 to talk trash on Mack. Then Mason UPPERCUTS Dustin, and drops an ELBOW! Mason drags Dustin up to whip him into the corner.

Tag to Mansoor and Mason sends him in for a LARIAT! Mason comes back to ELBOW! Feed to the atomic drop, then Mansoor dropkicks the legs out! Mason runs up, WRECKS IN EFFECT! The fans boo that booty but Mason sits Dustin up. MXM pinball Dustin between the hips! The fans boo, Dustin flops over, and Mansoor tags Johnny. Mansoor sits Dustin up for Johnny to ROCK with a right hand! Johnny KICKS Dustin, ROCKS him again, then tags Mason. The fans rally but MXM TV mugs Dustin with hands from all sides! Tag to Mansoor, he feeds Dustin to Mason’s scoop! CATWALK LEG DROP COMBO! Cover, TWO!

Dustin survives but Mansoor keeps him down with an armlock and chinbar. The fans rally, Dustin fights up, and Dustin reaches out, only for Dustin to CLUB him! Mansoor whips Dustin to the corner, but Dustin BLASTS Mason & Johnny! He dodges Mansoor, and he SNAP POWERSLAMS! The fans fire up while Dustin and Mansoor are down! Dustin crawls, so does Mansoor, and hot tags to Johnny and Sammy! The fans fire up as Sammy goes up, CROSSBODY for Mansoor & Johnny! The fans fire up again and Sammy TOSSES Mansoor out. Sammy then PLANCHAS onto Johnny! Sammy is feeling it as he goes back into the ring.

Sammy builds speed and he FOSBURY FLOPS onto Mansoor! Sammy high-fives the front row, then he slides back inside. Sammy dodges Johnny to CUTTER! Cover, Mason breaks it! Mason TOSSES Sammy out, then he fires up! Mack steps in and fires body shots! Mack LARIATS Mason up and out! Mansoor is back, but Mack stops the superkick to FLIP him, and STUNN ER! The fans fire up but Johnny gives Mack a FLYING CHUCK! Dustin runs in and hits a DESTROYER! Mansoor returns, but Dustin Manhattan drops him! And then atomic drops! And now Mansoor is in the corner! The fans fire up as Dustin opens Mansoor up!

The ref reprimands, but Sammy distracts Dustin for the SHATTERED DREAMS! But a LEG LARIAT from Mason takes Dustin out! Sammy springboards in, but into Mason’s hand! Mack saves Sammy from the choke slam and ROUNDHOUSES Mason! Sammy goes up for a FLYING CUTTER!! Mack puts Mason in place for the “WOOP WOOP!” STANDING MOONSAULT! But a SHINING WIZARD from Johnny takes out Mack! Sammy JUMP KNEES Johnny! Then the torture rack for GO TO HOSPITAL! Cover, Mack & Sons of Texas win!

Winners: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Willie Mack, by pinfall

A great win for this trio, but MXM attacks! The fans boo as Mansoor & Mason are sore losers as they beat down Sammy and Mack! They get Mack up to give him a DOUBLE SUPLEX, then put him in the drop zone! STARSHIP PAIN! Johnny covers, MXM count, and MXM TV “wins!” They once again STEAL a belt! It’s one of the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championship belts! The delusion returns, does MXM TV really think of themselves as the champions? Will Dustin have to call in The Von Erichs to settle this?

 

Taya Valkyrie & Lady Frost went to CMLL!

The CMLL Women’s Tag Team Championships have laid vacant, but Mrs. TV and the Coolest Wrestler You Know made it through the tournament of six matches in just a week! Taya finally made her CMLL debut despite wrestling in and out of Mexico for 13 YEARS. This is where La Wera Loca was born! Frost herself has a second home in Mexico after her three years wrestling here, and they gelled well. They did not win the titles, but are more than ready to try again. Will Taya & Frost prove themselves worthy of gold in the near future?

 

Athena & Diamante VS Jordan Blu & Mazzerati!

As the Minion Overlord said earlier tonight, this is the audition for the Cuban Diamond into Minions In Training. Will Diamante pass with flying colors? Or will the #BlueMazzerati run them off the road?

The teams sort out and Diamante starts against Mazzerati. The bell rings, the two tie up, and Diamante waistlocks to then shove, dodge, and run Mazzerati over. Things keep moving, Diamante jumps over the dropdown to then tilt-o-whirl and RANA! Mazzerati tumbles to a corner, Diamante runs to HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! The fans cheer, Athena likes what she sees, and Diamante TOSSES Mazzerati away. Diamante eggs Blu on so Blu tags in. Diamante swats Blu’s lariat to then UPPERCUT and LARIAT! Diamante flexes while she looms over Blu. Blu reaches out, but Diamante drags her away from Mazzerati.

Diamante CLUBS Blu, teases Mazzerati by holding Blu out to her, but then she drags Blu away to rain down forearms! Diamante checks with Athena, Athena likes what she sees, but she also wants Diamante to keep on Blu. Diamante drags Blu from Mazzerati again to rain down more forearms! Diamante again wants validation, but Blu scrambles away! Hot tag to Mazzerati! Fans fire up as Mazzerati fires off forearms! Boxing elbows and a cravat, but Diamante blocks the knee to GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans chant for Athena but Diamante gives Mazzerati a CUBAN TWIST first! Cover, but Blu steps in!

Diamante storms up on Blu ROCK her! And then HOTSHOT NECKBREAKER int he ropes! Diamante runs side to side to WRECK Blu with a dropkick! Diamante tags Athena in and the fans cheer. Diamante brings Mazzerati around for the champ, and feeds Mazzerati to the KNOCKOUT SHOT! Cover, Athena & Diamante win!

Winners: Athena & Diamante, by pinfall

Dominant indeed as Diamante does 99% of the work yet lets Athena take all the credit! Does this make Diamante the perfect Minion?

 

AEW shares The Learning Tree’s message from Dynamite.

Chris Jericho says, “Last Sunday on Collision, I had Gravity’s mask taken from me. Or should I say, taken from us. But that’s okay, because I think it’s time for all the masks to be removed. It’s time to discuss some ugly truths that need to be addressed. Like the fact that you two (Big Bill & Bryan Keith) have been under the branches of The Learning Tree for far too long without using the wisdom that I’ve bestowed upon you. I need to ask you why I have to keep telling you time and time again to prove yourselves, I’m sick of asking! You need to think if it’s worthy for you to still be with Chris Jericho.

“If you think that, then it’s time for you to make some drastic changes, and go prove yourselves to me! Once again, for the last time, PROVE IT!” Bill & Keith quietly walk off, and Jericho turns his attention back to the camera. Bandido got his brother’s mask back, congrats. But it isn’t Gravity’s mask that Jericho wants, it’s Bandido’s! Jericho wants Bandido to feel the disgrace and humiliation that his brother did when Jericho tore that mask off in front of their family! And why would Bandido put up the mask? Jericho knows Bandido wants to be ROH World Champion again, so how about this? Title VS Mask for Dynasty!

Bandido, is it worth risking the humiliation? Is it risking the disgrace? Is it worth making your mother cry again when you lose the mask? Is it worth it? Jericho thinks so. See you at Dynasty. The Nueve is ready to risk it all, but will he be the one to lose it all in just 10 days?

 

The Dark Order VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!

While Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds could not get Preston Vance to see what he’s become, the former Number 10 did have a painfully true observation about how the Numbers have dwindled. But can Uno & Reynolds prove there is still strength in the Numbers? Or is the Dark Order all but done?

And of course “Smart” Mark has to cut Bobby Cruise off. “Everybody knows that this is Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese! The Premier Athletes are very excited to be at The Theater in the Virgin Hotel. Which is ironic, because we’re also in a theater full of virgins! But that’s okay, because some day, you will get your chance. We believe in you!” Wait a minute, Preston & The Frat House are watching from the crowd. If they’re to be believed, none of them fit that description. But Sterling says tonight is everyone’s chance to be part of this winning team! (They have almost no wins, though…) When Sterling says, “Athletes!” you say “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE!

“Hands in, boys. Ohh… Athletes!” “SUCK!” The Frat House also joined in on that, and Jacked Jameson can’t believe The Premier Athletes are that stupid to fall for that again. Finally, Uno & Reynolds make their entrance, and the Frat House talk trash on them, too. The Code of Honor is kept, but then The Athletes kick low! The bell rings, Daivari bumps Uno off buckles while Nese does the same with Reynolds. The Athletes rain down fists, then climb up to shout, “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Vegas has spoken, and then The Dark Order YANK The Athletes down! Daivari & Nese hit buckles on the way down, and Dark Order coordinates.

Uno & Reynolds run corner to corner, Uno ELBOWS Nese while Reynolds LARIATS Daivari! The Dark Order goes again, ELBOW for Daivari and LARIAT for Nese! They want a third time, but the Athletes dodge! Nese & Daivari run in, but now Dark Order dodges, and they get that third round of ELBOW and LARIAT in! The fans fire up for the JAWBREAKER into the BACKBREAKER into the DDT! Cover, TWO! Nese is tougher than that and The Frat House talk all kinds of trash. Nese ROCKS Reynolds from the apron, but Reynolds BOOTS him down! The fans rally and Reynolds builds speed, only for Daivari to trip him up!

Reynolds BOOTS Daivari, but Nese LARIATS Reynolds out! Sterling cheers, the ref is busy keeping Uno back, so Sterling & The Athletes all stomp away on Reynolds! The Athletes get away with all that, then Nese puts Reynolds in. Cover, TWO! Reynolds stays in this but Nese stands Reynolds up to bump him off buckles. Tag to Daivari, but Reynolds fires back! The Athletes mug Reynolds, the ref counts, and “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!” Still not learning their lesson… Daivari drags Reynolds up and bumps him off buckles. Daivari CHOPS, then whips corner to corner hard! Tag to Nese, and the mugging continues.

The ref counts, Daivari pushes Reynolds down at 4, then Nese scuffs Reynolds. Nese eggs Reynolds on, the fans rally up, and Nese mocks them. But Reynolds CHOPS! Nese keeps Reynolds from Uno, but Reynold ROCKS Nese! Nese keeps Reynolds back, then slips around to BLAST Uno! The fans boo, but Reynolds BACKDROPS Nese! Nese tags Daivari, he runs in but into a BOOT! Reynolds goes up, but Daivari SHOVES him down hard! Reynolds clutches his leg, Daivari distracts the ref, and that lets Nese attack Uno and Sterling stomp Reynolds! The fans boo, The Frat House is having fun either way, and the Athletes get away again.

Daivari stands Reynolds up to CHOP! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!” Wait, did Frat House say “RULE” this time? Where do their allegiances lie? Or are they just drunk? Daivari drags Reynolds over, tags Nese, and Nese stomps away on Reynolds. Tag to Daivari, the Athletes stomp Reynolds more, but Reynolds CHOPS back! Daivari KNEES and CLUBS low, then holds Reynolds up. Nese runs up but Reynolds BOOTS him! Reynolds fights back but gets mugged all over again! The Athletes DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX, but Reynolds lands out! Hot tag to Uno! Uno dodges Daivari, BOOTS Nese, then he fires off CHOPS on them both!

The Athletes mug Uno, double whip, but Uno ducks to feint the lariats, and he DOUBLE DDTS! The fans fire up and Uno feeds off that energy! Uno tags in Reynolds, and The Dark Order has Daivari up! Spin and SUPERKICK, into a Gory Especial and GORY BOMB CODE BREAKER! Cover, Nese breaks it! Uno runs up to swing on Nese, but Nese dodges to mule kick, knee lift, and SUPERKICK! Reynolds runs up, Nese throat chops him! Nese has Reynolds for forearms, then the BULLDOG HOTSHOT PLANCHA! Down goes Uno! Nese drags Uno up to whip him into steel steps! The fans rally as Daivari storms up on Reynolds.

Daivari fires a forearm, but Reynolds fires back! They go back and forth, faster and faster, but then Daivari knees low! Daivari whips, Reynolds reverses and sends Daivari to the apron! Reynolds avoids the shoulder to GUILLOTINE KNEE DROP! Daivari falls, Nese hurries to his side, but Reynolds DIVES onto them both! The fans fire up, but then The Frat House throw their drinks at Reynolds! Reynolds is furious but Vance mockingly says, “My bad.” Nese runs up, but Reynolds THROWS him at the Frat House! The fans fire up as Reynolds hits a strike! Sterling complains, but Reynolds chases him off! Reynolds goes to the ring and brings Daivari up.

Daivari throat chops! Daivari wrenches, hammerlocks, but Reynolds ducks the lariat to kick low! Sterling gets on the apron, the ref stops him, but Daivari takes a swing on Reynolds! Reynolds ducks again, and he rolls Daivari up! But the ref isn’t there to count! Reynolds would’ve won this twice over by now! And now The Frat House sneaks up to ringside! Vance slides in and SPINEBUSTERS Reynolds! Daivari goes up, CARPET RIDE SPLASH! Cover, Premier Athletes win!!

Winners: The Premier Athletes, by pinfall

It took a huge assist from Vance, but the Athletes finally won! They still suck, but will The Dark Order change targets and tear down The Frat House?

 

ROH hears from Paul Walter Hauser.

In an interview with TMZ, PWH spoke on the highly inappropriate behavior of QT Marshall during the Revolution Zero Hour. QT didn’t just throw his drink on PWH, he threw an alcoholic drink on PWH, who is in a sobriety program and has been sober for three years. And from what PWH understands, QT doesn’t even drink alcohol himself, so QT went the extra mile just to insult PWH! PWH says that is messed up. But if QT wants a fight, well, who cares if he’s a trained wrestler and PWH isn’t? PWH will still kick QT’s ass!

Backstage interview with QT Marshall.

Renee Paquette talks with the man in question and brings up the issue QT has with PWH. She was there when QT threw that drink on PWH, and QT claims that’s not what happened. She explains about how PWH has been three years sober and QT threw alcohol on him. Now PWH wants to fight QT! QT says none of that happened. Paul Walter Hauser is a fan, QT was being nice to a fan. QT gave PWH a chance to lock up, they did, and what does PWH do? He puts QT in a headlock! QT has six screws in his neck. Worse than that, PWH was trying to embarrass QT. But this is Hollywood, and when you try to embarrass someone, you get something thrown at you.

The fact the cup had alcohol in it is not QT’s problem, he was taking that drink to throw it out. But if you ask QT, PWH owes him the apology. He wants a match? PWH wants to step into the ring with QT Marshall? Stop whining to TMZ and the Hollywood Reporter. Just come here to QT’s world, look him in the eye, and ask him! If PWH shows QT the respect he deserves, there’s a chance PWH gets what he’s looking for. QT thanks Renee and heads out, but will QT’s massive ego be his DOOM?

 

The Premier Athletes regroup backstage.

They’re all pumped from finally winning, and put hands in! “ATHLETES! RULE!” Sterling tells them that was a huge win over Dark Order, just like he said they’d get! They’ve been one of, if not THE, best tag team in ROH all year! Daivari says, “All year? All year? Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese have been one of the best damn tag teams in this industry for EIGHT years! Every promoter knows it, all the boys in the back know it, every single fan knows it! That’s why WE are the most consistent guys in all of ROH!” Nese says it is inevitable! They will be the future ROH World Tag Team Champions, because Athletes Rule!

 

Los Titanes del Aire also visited Mexico!

Komander thanks CMLL and Arena Mexico for the warm welcome as they made their desire, long-awaited debut against international superstars like Mistico & Mascara Dorada. The Titans stood tall, going back and forth with those icons, and the people received them in a great way. The fans chanted for them, there were even AEW fans there, and it doesn’t matter if they win or lose. They’re two young men who are living the childhood dream! They’re so happy that their families were there to witness this journey. The world will soon know the names of Los Titanes del Aire!

 

Six Man Tag: Atlantis Jr, Fuego & Titan VS Barbaro Cavernario, Rugido & Volador Jr!

The Lucha de Honor crossover continues as we get another instant classic trios match! But will the second generation star, The Fire, and El Inmortal be a force to be reckoned with? Or will the Caveman and Los Depredadores be their own winning combination?

The trios stare down and the fans cheer for “LUCHA LIBRE!” The bell rings, Rugido BOOTS Titan! Atlantis SUPERKICKS Rugido! Volador BOOTS Atlantis! Fuego runs to LEAPING ARM-DRAG Volador! Barbaro CLOBBERS Fuego! Fuego kips up, Barbaro runs, but Fuego goes Matrix! And then Fuego stands to do his dance! The fans cheer, Fuego RAMS Barbaro, then “OLE~!” Fuego runs, and he LEAPING ARM-DRAGS Barbaro! Volador returns to whip Fuego, but Titan is there to put Fuego on the apron. Lucha rules makes Titan legal now and things speed up between him and Volador. Titan ducks ‘n’ dodges then fakes Volador out!

Titan sweeps the leg and basement dropkicks! Rugido runs up but into a strike fest! Titan runs, but into a ROUNDHOUSE! Rugido runs, Titan sweeps the legs while he slides out! Atlantis slingshots in, wrenches Rugido, and whips him to a corner. Rugido goes up but Atlantis KICKS him out of the air! Atlantis then somersaults to CUTTER! Barbaro y Volador run in, Atlantis ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA Volador! Then he runs, tilt-o-whirls and RANAS Barbaro! The fans fire up for Atlantis, Fuego joins in, and they high-ten. Titan joins in and high-fives them, then  the team lets Fuego be legal as Rugido steps back in.

Fuego does his dance, trips Rugido, then runs. Rugido drops down, Volador trips Fuego, and Rugido basement DROPKICKS! Rugido CLOBBERS Titan, DECKS Atlantis, and Volador joins in as they stomp Titan. Barbaro gets Titan up to SMACK him to a corner! Barbaro LARIATS Titan, sits him down, and then he gets some stomps in. Titan fights back, but Volador grabs the arms. Rugido ROUNDHOUSES Titan down! Barbaro y Los Depredadores get Titan up, whip him to a corner, then Barbaro runs up to CHOP! Barbaro puts Titan up for Volador to GAMANGIRI, then Volador y Barbaro YANK Titan down!

Barbaro HEADBUTTS Atlantis, then he and Volador whip Atlantis to the corner. Barbaro runs up and LARIATS! Rugido LARIATS! Then they feed Atlantis to a SUPERKICK! Barbaro covers, TWO! Atlantis stays in this, the fans rally up, but Barbaro drags Atlantis up again. Barbaro whips, Los Depredadores DOUBLE BACK ELBOW! They sit Atlantis up, Barbaro runs, and he SHOTGUNS Atlantis down! Atlantis falls out, the fans boo, but Fuego hurries in!

Fuego circles with Barbaro but Rugido CLUBS Fuego on the back! Rugido scoops and SLAMS Fuego, Barbaro soaks up the heat, and Los Depredadores stand Fuego up. Barbaro CHOPS Fuego against the ropes! The fans “WOO~!” but then they boo. Rugido CHOPS Fuego, his team talk on what to do next, but Atlantis tags in! Volador kicks low, Rugido kicks Atlantis down! They double whip, then they TRIPLE BOOT Altantis out! Titan returns, but he’s wary of who to go after. Rugido grabs Titan’s leg, Barbaro CLUBS him, and then Volador holds that leg out for Barbaro to KICK! Titan falls and flounders away, the ref reprimands Volador’s team.

Fuego storms in but Volador kicks him down. Los Depredadores double whip, then bypass and DOUBLE HIP TOSS Fuego to Barbaro for a POWERBOMB POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO!! Fuego survives, but Barbaro clamps on with a GROUND COBRA TWIST! Fuego endures as Barbaro thrashes him around. Barbaro CLUBS away on Fuego’s chest, then fires elbows in! Barbaro lets Fuego go to stand over him. Barbaro lets Fuego tag Atlantis? Atlantis and Barbaro circle, the fans rally up, but then Rugido KICKS Atlantis down from behind! The fans boo as Los Depredadores just keep bullying their opponents! Barbaro CHOPS Atlantis to the corner!

Barbaro soaks up the heat, Los Depredadores mug Atlantis, and Rugido BITES at Atlantis’ mask! Barbaro puts Atlantis in the corner and climbs up, to SPIT in his face! And then he BITES Atlantis’ chin! Barbaro CHOPS Atlantis, Los Depredadores stomp him down, and the fans boo as they dig their boots in!

Volador fires up to ROCK Titan! Titan ROCKS Volador! The fans fire up with both men, and the forearms keep going! It’s fast ‘n’ furious, then Titan fires a strike fest! SOBAT and Titan runs!

Winners: Atlantis Jr, Fuego & Titan, by pinfall

The former ROH World Television Champion takes down the Caveman in a fiery finish! Will these stars of CMLL continue to shine even as the crossover comes to a close?

My Thoughts:

A very good episode for ROH, but not as much happened as I’d hoped. Good promo from Athena, Diamante & Billie, but I feel like they didn’t do enough to really give us how Billie feels about all this. It is clear that Athena still belittles Billie, perhaps being passive aggressive about how Billie went for the TBS Championship before her. Athena & Diamante of course won their match, but it was a good touch that Diamante basically won a 2v1 handicap match and let Athena have the pin. This will surely head for Billie VS Diamante to see who is truly number one minion, but maybe also get us closer to Athena VS Billie 3, the final time. After all, Supercard of Honor isn’t until May now, so they have time to build that blowoff.

Good stuff from Dark Panther VS Okumura and Aminata VS Viva Van, but the results were somewhat given. Good promos from the AEW/ROH stars who visited CMLL, and Komander is certainly becoming a top name in ROH. Mack & Sons of Texas VS MXM TV was a very good match, but I should’ve known MXM would steal a belt again. I suppose it’s fine that they’re after the Six Man Tag titles now, as we’ll get a chance to see The Von Erichs on screen again. Unless The Von Erichs are gonna start touring with AEW/ROH now, MXM TV really should just win those titles and finally get the Six Man Tag Division going again. The Von Erich legacy is great, but this reign has only been because of that legacy, not because Marshall & Ross are top tier guys.

Good stuff in the Dark Order VS Premier Athletes match, even with The Frat House getting involved. It works for story as now Dark Order and Frat House can feud, and the Premier Athletes did have a good promo being way too confident after just one win. Pretty good stuff in this building of a Paul Walter-Hauser VS QT Marshall story, and I wonder if they get this built by Dynasty so that we aren’t waiting forever since that Revolution segment. And even then, I feel like PWH might only win because QT has so many enemies that they help PWH win. And then another great Six Man Tag featuring CMLL stars, but nothing much better than what we’ve got the last five episodes.

My Score: 8.7/10
