PLAY BY PLAY

The second WWE Mae Young Classic is down to the Elite Eight!

But that also means 24 hopefuls from around the world were denied a dream. Underdogs like Kacy Catanzaro and Jessie Elaban, NXT prospects like Taynara Conti and Xia Li, and even veterans like Ashley Rayne and Mercedes Martinez, were all stopped short. Now eight must become four, who makes it to the second ever Mae Young Classic semifinals?

 

Lacey Lane VS Meiko Satomura!

Florida’s own has fought hard to climb The Mountain and outdo the prodigy judoka, but now she faces The Final Boss in only the quarterfinals! Satomura eliminated Killer Kelly and Mean Ms. Martinez, so she’s no stranger to opponents with skill, and matching initials. Can Lane shock the world and establish herself in the Women’s (R)Evolution? Or is it 1000 years too soon for her to ever think she could defeat this living legend?

Lacey and Meiko shake hands and bow out of respect. They circle with the bell and fans rally up already. They tie up and Meiko powers Lacey to ropes. Fans duel as Meiko backs off, but then kicks. Lacey blocks just in time, then pushes Meiko back. They circle again, Lacey keeping some distance. They tie up again and Meiko gets a headlock. She pulls on Lacey hard but Lacey powers out. Meiko runs Lacey over, then things speed up. They each trade cartwheels, and Lacey chops! Meiko kicks, Lacey kicks, then they edge dodge. Meiko blocks a kick, but holds back from punching her. She puts the foot down and offers another handshake. Lacey doesn’t want it, she wants Meiko to take her serious. So Meiko kicks her in the chest! Lacey narrowly avoids the buzzsaw but then it comes back around and gets her the second time!

Fans are fired up as Meiko drags Lacey up. She fireman’s carry but Lacey sunset flips. Meiko blocks but Lacey avoids the stomp. Lacey kicks back then kicks Meiko down! Cover, TWO! Lacey keeps on Meiko with a waistlock but Meiko blocks the lift. Meiko standing switches and lifts Lacey but Lacey slips out and under. She trips Meiko and cartwheels over her to swing a kick. Meiko ducks but then gets the mule kick! Cover, TWO! Lacey keeps her cool and gets moving, but runs into a roundhouse! Meiko drags Lacey back up to kick again. Lacey ducks it but ends up in an cross armbreaker! Lacey clasps hands together but Meiko pries at the hands. Meiko makes it a short arm scissor but Lacey shifts around. It’s a cover, ONE and Meiko wants the armbar again.

Lacey rolls and reaches, to get the ropebreak! Meiko lets go quick, but is back on Lacey with stiff kicks. She drags Lacey up for a snap suplex! She keeps on Lacey but Lacey breaks free to bob ‘n’ weave and even back elbow Meiko. Lacey keeps on Meiko with a knee and forearms! She runs out to run in for more forearms! Then she goes corner to corner, for a shining wizard! Lacey keeps moving, but Meiko follows, only to get a springboard crossbody! Cover, TWO! Lacey can’t believe it, but she’s not going to slow down. Fans duel as Meiko dodges to roundhouse Lacey again. Meiko fireman’s carry, Death Valley Driver! Cover, Meiko wins!

Winner: Meiko Satomura, by pinfall; advances to the semifinals

The Final Boss will not be stopped! Will anything be able to stop her? Who will advance to face her in the next round?

 

Io Shirai VS Deonna Purrazzo!

The quarterfinals end with what could’ve easily been the finals, as the Genius of the Sky and the Virtuosa meet again from Stardom here in the WWE. Shirai flew high over Xia Brookside in the young second generation star’s first ever match, then did it again over Zeuxis in their first ever encounter. Meanwhile, Deonna used her Fujiwara specialty to make gypsy princess Priscilla Kelly and “spicy” Chinese recruit Xia Li tap out. Which star will become a superstar and shoot up into the semifinals?

Genius and Virtuosa shake hands out of respect, and the bell rings. They circle and feel it out. Fans rally up as they tie up. Deonna gets the wristlock but Shirai goes to the headlock. Deonna pries her way out back to a wristlock and shifts to her own headock. Shirai powers out but Deonna runs her over. Deonna runs but cartwheels over Shirai, then dares her to come at her. Shirai runs but Deonna follows. Deonna tilt-o-whirl headscissors but Shirai handsprings through! Things speed up and Deonna dodges the handspring but not the dropkick! Deonna bails out while fans fire up with Shirai. Shirai builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit onto the steel ramp! Both women are down but fans rally up with Shirai.

Shirai is up and puts Deonna in the ring. Shirai covers, TWO, but she keeps on Deonna with a scoop and slam. She handstands to drop knees then covers again, TWO! Deonna gasps for air but Shirai stomps on her. Deonna gets to a corner but Shirai is on her with both boots. Shirai counts along, and lifts off at 3. Deonna dodges the swinging boots to roll Shirai up, TWO! Shirai small packages, TWO, Deonna jackknifes, TWO! Shirai runs but into a waistlock. Deonna lifts but Shirai wheelbarrows and victory rolls, to double stomp Deonna! Shirai says she’s too smart, since she is a genius. She taunts Deonna over her pain, then stomps her more. Shirai drags Deonna up and throws a swift right hand. She throws another and Deonna crawls to a corner.

Shirai keeps on Deonna with forearms, then brings her back out. Deonna breaks free to chop Shirai loudly. She throws forearms but so does Shirai. Shirai whips but Deonna reverses, to hip toss, handspring and dropkick! Both women are down but fans build to a rally. Shirai and Deonna slowly stand, and Deonna mule kicks. Deonna runs to knee lift and Russian leg sweep, into the Fujiwara! Shirai endures Deonna’s favorite hold, and claws her way around to a roll up. TWO, but Shirai gets Deonna into a crossface! Deonna endures a submission move but rolls it to a cover, TWO! Deonna brings Shirai up but gets an uppercut! Shirai runs at Deonna on the ropes, 6-1-9! Then a springboard missile dropkick! Cover, TWO!

Shirai grows frustrated but she drags Deonna up. She wants a hold but Deonna resists so Shirai just dumps her down. Shirai goes to a corner but Deonna knows it’s coming and trips her up! Deonna has teh waistlock but Shirai grabs ropes. Deonna kicks an arm out, and gets the German SUpelx! She holds on for another! And then another! Deonna gets the hat trick then covers, TWO, FUJIWARA! Shirai endures the hold all over again but Deonna reaches back, and manages to hook Shirai’s other arm with her chin! The Virtuosa shows great creativity but fans rally up for Shirai. Shirai gets one arm free but looks close…! Deonna wrenches back more but Shirai rolls it over, TWO, back into Shirai’s crossface!

Shirai pulls back as hard as she can but Deonna endures. Deonna gets up and pops out with a roll, but into a knee! Shirai runs in for meteora! Then she puts Deonna in the drop zone, for the Genius Asai! Cover, Shirai wins!

Winner: Io Shirai, by pinfall; advances to the semifinal

The Genius overcomes the Virtuosa, but Deonna did win Shirai’s respect. Stardom is represented either way, but will Shirai soar all the way to WWE Evolution?

 

Tegan Nox VS Rhea Ripley!

The Shiniest Wizard has helped Tegan make it through Chilean Strong Style and the mighty Nicole Matthews, while the Aussie’s new attitude helped her rip up the aspirations of American Ninja KC and the Afrolicious MJ. Tegan finds herself as the underdog once again, can she make it three for three? Or will she be dragged under by the Riptide?

Tegan wants a handshake but Rhea slaps it away, so it’s business as usual. The bell rings and Rhea whips her hair right at Tegan. Tegan hits back with a dropkick! Rhea rolls out and Tegan builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit to the ramp! Tegan hobbles on that bad leg, she may have hurt it here. The referee checks on Tegan, who is furious with herself. Tegan powers through it, but it doesn’t look good. Rhea dodges Tegan, then tosses her for a flapjack! Cover, TWO! Tegan won’t let her leg stop her, but the referee calls for medics. Rhea clubs Tegan more but the match takes a timeout as the referee brings in medics.

The medic talks with Tegan about her leg while the referee keeps Rhea back. Tegan says it’s actually her good leg that’s bothering her now. Fans rally up for Tegan and Tegan insists she can fight. Tegan walks around but Rhea goes right after her with heavy hands and kicks. Rhea chokes Tegan on the ropes, but stops at 4. She brings Tegan for a bump off buckles, then chops her sharp on the chest. Rhea chops Tegan again and Tegan hobbles. Rhea chops again, but Tegan grits her teeth to chop back! Tegan fires chop after chop after chop, then runs, but into a BIG dropkick! Tegan’s legs give out and this time, the referee calls it off.

Winner: Rhea Ripley, by referee’s decision; advances to the semifinals

Tears stream down Tegan’s face, but it’s more from the pain in her leg than the pain of losing. Full Sail falls silent as this comeback Cinderella story ends tragically. Full Sail encouragingly chants “Thank You, Tegan!” in hopes she understands how much they appreciate her fighting spirit and in hopes that she makes a speedy recovery. Rhea still takes her victory, and now moves on to prepare for Io Shirai. Can the young and cocky Aussie overcome a Japanese mega star?

 

Toni Storm VS Mia Yim!

The Lightning from Down Under and the Blasian Baddie both want to make the best of their second WWE MYC, but now their passions collide! Toni stormed through Lady Godzilla and the fashionable Jinny, while Mia toughed it out against frenemy Allysin Kay and returning Kaitlyn. Who will grit it out and move on to face The Final Boss in the semifinals?

Mia and Toni shake hands, but Mia’s hand still bugs her a little. The bell rings and they circle. They tie up as fans duel. Mia knees low then clubs Toni down. She kicks Toni in the side, then brings her up for a kick to the chest. Toni gets to a corner but Mia presses a foot into her face. Mia chops Toni on the ropes then whips, but Toni ducks and boots Mia down! Toni fires up already and runs in for the double knees. She drags Mia out for a cover, TWO! Toni kicks Mia around now then brings her up for fast palm strikes and a back kick. Toni snap suplexes, covers, TWO! Fans duel more as Toni grabs Mia’s bad hand, throws it down, and stomps on it!

Toni stalks Mia to ropes and stomps her more. She stands Mia up for European Uppercuts, then double underhooks. Mia slips out and kicks Toni in the ribs. Mia stalks Toni to a corner and stomps a mudhole into her. She backs off at 4, then drags Toni out for a high stack cover. TWO, but Mia puts a sleeper hold on Toni. Toni endures as fans rally up. Toni powers her way up and fights back, but Mia throws her down by her hair. Mia kicks Toni while she’s down, covers, TWO! Mia is on Toni fast with a deathlock, into a bow ‘n’ arrow! Toni endures being bent back, and pops out to cover! TWO, and Mia dropkicks Toni down! Cover, TWO, but Mia is on Toni with a facelock. Fans rally up but Mia drags Toni into a deeper guillotine, with the body scissors.

Toni moves around as fans duel. Toni deadlifts Mia, to give Mia a spinebuster! Mia lets Toni go and Toni staggers to ropes. Toni comes back, but into a drop toehold, Mia puts the sleeper back on! Toni resists so Mia lets her go to kick her in the chest. Mia kicks her again, then turns her over to ax kick her in the shoulders! Cover, TWO! Mia grows frustrated with Toni’s toughness. She brings Toni up and fires palm strikes and kicks, then a Pele! Cover, TWO! Mia grits her teeth as she brings Toni up to kick her more. She goes after the legs, but then Toni boots the bad hand! Double headbutt takes both women down! Fans fire up as both women catch their breath.

The ref starts a 10 count, Mia sits up at 4. Toni follows at about 6, and they stagger towards each other. Toni throws a forearm, Mia throws one back. They go back and forth with forearms, then back and forth with slaps! And chops! And slaps! Slap, slap, slap and Toni gets an edge, until Mia knees her. Mia kicks but Toni blocks it, into a trapped-leg German Suplex! Toni fires up and runs in for the hip attack! She drags Mia up, double underhook but Mia slips out, saido suplex with bridge! TWO!! Mia can’t believe it, but Toni survives! Fans rally up as Mia runs in, but Toni goes up and over to come back. Mia blocks to a powerbomb! High stack cover, TWO!! Mia is at a loss for words, but fans say “This is Awesome!”

Mia brings Toni up and wants to feed her Sole Food, but Toni pushes her back and goes after the bad hand! Then she spins Mia around for another German! Then double underhook, Storm Zero!! Cover, Toni wins!!

Winner: Toni Storm, by pinfall; advances to the semifinals

Toni has one of the biggest matches of this entire tournament, only to roll right into another! She may have toughed it out against the Blasian Baddie, but will she be able to best one of the best in Meiko Satomura?

 


 

My Thoughts:

A pretty strong episode here for the WWE MYC 2. I was a bit surprised by match order, but it worked out well enough. Satomura VS Lane was great for being so fast and furious, and Lacey looked great on just her speed alone. Naturally the legendary veteran goes over, it’s too soon for Lacey to be going over someone that established, and it’s too soon for a shock like that to happen. Storm VS Yim was a great main event, and Storm repeats to the semifinals. Between MYC and NXT UK, Toni clearly has the backing of WWE via Triple H, so bet on her to get that upset moment we’ve been waiting for.

It was a real shame Tegan Nox goes down like that. She and Rhea were bound to have a really great match, but injuries always come at the worst possible times. Rhea was likely going to win in the end, and she kept in character the entire time, but I’m sure in reality, she felt bad that it went down like this. Shirai VS Deonna was a really great match, though there seemed like a part in the middle where fans were probably not paying attention. I think Full Sail knew she was going over so they just kinda took some of that match for granted. But things got them back into it by the end, and they were right to think Shirai would win. Shirai VS Rhea will be great, Rhea can really show her stuff in a match with someone so skilled and in the longer semifinal formats.

Also I just realized it’s Japan VS Australia in both matches, for potentially a third Japan VS Australia in the finals at WWE Evolution. However, given that Toni Storm is currently injured [Highlight for spoilers] there might be a change. We won’t really know until after next week’s semifinals episode that acts as a go-home.

My Score: 8.6/10

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

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

Published

on

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:

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?

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!

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!

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!

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
