PLAY BY PLAY
Piper Niven VS Jamie Hayter!
The Scottish Viper is back home in Glasgow! And she’s looking to build momentum towards not just the NXT UK Women’s Championship, but towards finally having it out with the bully, Rhea Ripley. But are #HaytersGonnaHate and ruin the homecoming?
The bell rings and Glasgow is of course behind Piper. Hayter isn’t surprised, and scowls as she circles with Piper. They tie up and Hayter wrenches and goes after the shoulder. Hayter chinbars but Piper pries free. Piper powers Hayter around to a cobra clutch! Hayter reaches back and grabs hair! The ref counts but Hayter SLAPS Piper. Piper headbutts Hayter! Piper runs and crossbodies Hayter down! Glasgow fires up with Piper as she goes corner to corner for the cannonball! Piper drags Hayter up, scoop to Michinoku Driver! Cover, Piper wins!
Winner: Piper Niven, by pinfall
And that’s all it takes for Piper to dominate! Will she give the Mosh Pit Kid much of the same when they finally meet in a match?
NXT UK Media catches up with Toni Storm.
The NXT UK Women’s Champion heard what Nina Samuels had to say about her last week, and it was all very personal. Her response? “I never had a problem with Nina Samuels, but you’re playing Russian Roulette if you think you can talk about my family and get away with it.” Toni tells Nina that if you mess with her head, she will become wild and dangerous. Nina shouldn’t think that’s a good thing. Toni wants this match more than Nina now, and it will be for the title. If Nina wants her 15 minutes of fame, she’s got it. Will Nina regret ever trying to take the spotlight?
NXT UK Assistant General Manager, Sid Scala, arrives.
Next week is one of the biggest matches in NXT UK history: Walter VS Dunne II, the rematch for the United Kingdom Championship. His thoughts? “Well without question, it’s one of the biggest matches in NXT UK history”, but Sid is even more excited for this week’s qualifiers. But Kassius Ohno interrupts “Savvy Sid”. How’s he doing? Ohno’s not great, by the way. Why does the audience love NXT UK so much? Because of the authentic British wrestling. That’s why Ohno is here. Yet he’s not scheduled for a qualifier? What can Sid do to fix that? Sid will speak with Johnny Saint and then they’ll have an answer next week. Ohno looks forward to it. Will the Wrestling Genius be in for the final qualifier next week? Or will Sid’s and Saint’s decision disappoint?
WWE United Kingdom Championship Contender’s Qualifier: Jordan Devlin VS El Ligero!
The Iron King of Gallus, Joe Coffey, awaits three other men in the coming Fatal 4 Way. The Ace feels he shouldn’t even need this, but he did lose his non-title match to Walter while in New York. As for the Luchador of Leeds, he wants to prove he’s just as worthy as anyone. Who proves themselves tonight to take the next step towards the title?
The bell rings, and Ligero circles with Devlin. They stare down as fans duel. They tie up and Devlin gets the wristlock. Devlin wrenches but Ligero works against the hold. Ligero rolls and handsprings to wrench and flip Devlin! Devlin backs off while fans cheer. Devlin uses the ropes as defense so Ligero stays back. Ligero lets Devlin come back and they tie up again. Devlin kicks and clubs Ligero down, then headlocks. He brings Ligero to the mat and covers. TWO as Ligero gets an arm up. Devlin tries again, TWO as Liger brings the other arm up. He tries a third time, TWO as Ligero bridges. Devlin grows frustrated and sweeps the legs, TWO as Ligero bridges again. Devlin goes to put his whole weight on Ligero, but Ligero pushes up to then climb and roll with a sunset flip bomb! Cover, TWO!
Devlin swings but Ligero blocks and whips. Devlin runs him over with a shoulder, then speeds things up. Ligero hurdles and rolls to flip Devlin again! Ligero dropkicks Devlin up and out, then slingshots! Direct hit wipes Devlin out! Glasgow fires up with Ligero as he drags Devlin up and in. Ligero covers, TWO! Ligero keeps his cool as he drags Devlin up. Snapmare and basement dropkick! Fans rally behind Ligero as he drags Devlin up for forearms. Ligero whips but Devlin reverses and trips Ligero to drag him outside. Devlin rams Ligero into barriers, then the apron, then puts him in the ring. Devlin gives Ligero the atomic backbreaker! Ligero writhes while Devlin stomps him out.
Devlin drags Ligero up to drive elbows into his head. Devlin drags Ligero up to whip and elbow him down! Glasgow boos and jeers the Irish Ace as he springboard stomps Ligero. Devlin digs his heel in but the ref counts, so Devlin backs off at 4. Devlin drags Ligero up to club him more. Ligero hits back and CHOPS and kicks! Ligero runs but Devlin dodges to get him with the urenage to standing moonsault! Cover, TWO! Ligero lives but Devlin grits his teeth. Devlin drags Ligero up to drive his elbow in. Then he drives his knee into Ligero’s back before dropping the knee onto Ligero’s chest. Devlin toys with Ligero then sits him up for a stretch. Fans rally as Ligero endures. Devlin clubs away on the ribs while wrenching back at the shoulder.
Ligero refuses to quit but Devlin digs his knuckles and elbow in. Fans still rally and Ligero feeds off the energy. Ligero gets up and elbows Devlin. Devlin reels Ligero in for a back suplex but Ligero crossbody counters! Both men are slow to standing, but Ligero rallies with lariats! Ligero runs into the corner for forearms! He hops up and leaps at Devlin for a missile dropkick! Cover, TWO! Fans duel as Devlin survives and Ligero struggles to stand. Ligero still gets himself to a corner and climbs up top. Ligero aims but Devlin runs in! Devlin misses as Ligero cartwheels away, then Ligero cradles Devlin to the dragon’s lair, to a ghost pin! TWO as Devlin just barely escapes! Ligero SUPERKICKS Devlin down! Ligero climbs again, and leaps for a splash, onto knees! Cover, TWO!! Devlin is furious that Ligero lives!
Devlin drags Ligero up and scoop slams him hard. He heads for a corner and climbs, to moonsault, onto boots! Ligero gets Devlin back but Devlin flops all the way out of the ring. Ligero hurries to fetch Devlin and put him in. He climbs up slowly and steps up on the ropes, but Devlin trips him up! Devlin then steps up and drags Ligero up, deadlift suplex blocked. Ligero slips inside and powerbombs Devlin! Cover, TWO!! Devlin lives again but Ligero won’t let up! Ligero steps up, springboards, splash! Cover, TWO!! Devlin again survives and fans are fired up! Ligero gets up again and drags Devlin up. Ligero runs but Devlin enziguris his springboard! Devlin then yanks Ligero off, Devlin Saido! Cover, Devlin wins!
Winner: Jordan Devlin, by pinfall; advances to the WWE UK Championship Fatal 4 Way Contenders match
The Ace trumps Ligero and is now the second of four in that Fatal 4!
In-ring interview with Devlin.
He is just the second man to qualify for that #1 contenders match. He cuts Radzy off right there to tell the fans something. “This match shouldn’t have happened tonight.” Devlin doesn’t need a qualifier, he doesn’t need a contender’s match, he IS the #1 Contender! Glasgow disagrees. But Devlin doesn’t care about Coffey, he doesn’t care about who else joins in, it doesn’t matter. Jokers and Kings still fall to the Ace!
NXT UK takes a look at Walter and his training.
“Might be the case that there’s more pressure on the champion than the challenger,” but the Ring General is not the usual case. He is in charge, he doesn’t feel pressure. It felt great to win the WWE UK Championship at NXT TakeOver: New York. Anything else would’ve been disappointing. Walter enjoyed the challenge Dunne posed in their match. Dunne is one of the most versatile opponents he’s ever faced, and Walter gave Dunne this rematch because he came up and asked him for it. Walter appreciates guts like that. He knows Dunne is training harder than ever, and that’s good. Walter wants to face the best Dunne possible, and is honored to be the man that brings it out of him. Both men will be prepared, but who will be the winner of this epic rematch?
NXT UK Media talks with Moustache Mountain.
What are Trent Seven’s and Tyler Bate’s thoughts on the rematch, Dunne VS Walter. “Next week on NXT UK,” the “Bruisermate” will surely win back that WWE UK Championship in perhaps the biggest rematch ever. Up to this point, that is. There will be an even bigger rematch that hasn’t happened but must happen. Grizzled Young Veterans should do the right thing and put those NXT UK Tag Team Championships against them, Moustache Mountain. Rematches are where it’s at. It’s just a matter of time. When and where, if at all, will we see GYV VS Moustache Mountain Volume 2?
Ilja Dragunov VS Jack Starz!
NXT UK finally sees #UNBESIEGBAR in person! Will this Moscow madman make mincemeat of poor ol’ Jack Starz?
The bell rings and Starz circles and ties up with Dragunov. Dragunov wrenches and whips Starz to a corner for a clothesline. Then he brings Starz over to another corner for buckle bumps and back elbows. Dragunov stomps and punches and bumps Starz off more buckles. He clubs away on Starz back, then stands him up to whip corner to corner. Dragunov runs in but Starz boots him back! Starz throws European Uppercuts but Dragunov just smiles! Dragunov kicks and clubs Starz hard again! Fans fire with Dragunov as he aims corner to corner. Dragunov runs in for one clothesline, then another, then runs. Starz dodges the third but gets the fourth from the left!
Dragunov grins again as he stalks Starz. Dragunov runs, Starz dodges but Dragunov hits back from the apron. He skins the cat to clobber Starz! But Dragunov still isn’t done. He waits for Starz to stand, but Starz dropkicks back! Starz puts on a half nelson chinbar, aka the Gator Hold, but Dragunova pries free. Dragunov reels Starz in for a CHOP! Then a big back senton! Dragunov is all fired up and so is Glasgow. Starz flounders around but Dragunov hits shouts, “UN! BE! SIEG! BAR!” He runs out and hits the Torpedo Moskau, the running headbutt! Cover, Dragunov wins!
Winner: Ilja Dragunov, by pinfall
Dragunov wins his debut, but surely this is just the beginning! Will he have a Torpedo Moskau with the WWE UK Champion’s name on it?
Backstage interview with Mark Andrews and Noam Dar.
The last time these two were in a match together, they both got stretchered out because of dual leg injuries. But it has been decided that next week, they’ll do it all over again. What’s the mindset going in? Dar says that “it’s very fitting that we are doing this rematch in Glasgow”, because that last match ended like a bad night in town. Dar knows, he’s seen things. But he’s been running around not being the nicest guy. Dar is solid, but his time away made him realize he really does want to be in NXT UK and facing the best. He looks forward to this rematch. Andrews says neither of them was happy with that finish, so now they can have a true conclusion to Dar VS Andrews. May the best man win!
Killer Kelly VS Xia Brookside!
With all the talk of titles and contenders, the Portuguese spitfire and the second generation superstar don’t want to be left out. Is Glasgow gonna #FlyWithBrookside? Or will Double K bring Xia crashing down?
The bell rings and Kelly circles with Xia. They tie up and Kelly wrenches to a wristlock. Xia rolls but Kelly blocks the reversal. Kelly bends Xia back and brings her to the mat. Xia knips up and hooks Kelly with a leg and a chinbar. Kelly still gets Xia down again. Xia knips up again and wrenches, and fans rally as the two keep battling over the wrist. Xia uses the ropes to flip through and reel Kelly in for a headlock takeover. Kelly headscissors back but Xia endures the squeeze. Xia moves around and pops out. Fans cheer as the two go again. Kelly headlocks and gets the takeover but now Xia headscissors. Kelly bridges back and rolls to pop out. Fans cheer as the two shake hands.
But wait, is that Jinny? What is the Spoiled Princess doing coming out now? Jinny struts down the ramp, but then she presents… Jazzy Gabert!? And she’s on Jinny’s side? Kelly and Xia are ready for a fight as Jazzy gets to the ring. But then Kelly leaves Xia high and dry!? Xia’s all alone as the German Juggernaut stares her down! Jazzy grabs Xia and brings her in, Canadian rack to Dominator Slam! Fans boo as Jinny and Jazzy stand tall. What does this alliance of fashion and ferocity mean for the rest of the NXT UK Women’s Division?
No Contest
NXT UK General Manager, Johnny Saint, tweets a huge announcement!
After talking with Toni Storm, the match both she and Nina Samuels want is coming! The NXT UK Women’s Championship will be on the line in two weeks! Will the Rose Devil take over as the leading lady of NXT UK? Or will the Lightning From Down Under strike her down?
WWE United Kingdom Championship Contender’s Qualifier: Dave Mastiff VS Wolfgang!
The Bomber and the Last King of Scotland wanted to have a go since a confrontation backstage in New York! This isn’t just to settle who is the biggest and baddest, but to see who is the third man in that Fatal 4!
The bell rings and Glasgow is naturally on Gallus’ side as Wolfgang ties up with Mastiff. Mastiff headlocks but Wolfgang powers out. Mastiff and Wolfgang collide, but Wolfgang manages to stay on his feet. So Mastiff just keeps moving and he runs Wolfgang over. Things speed up but Mastiff catches Wolfgang’s leap to a powerslam! Cover, TWO! Mastiff keeps on Wolfgang with EuroUppers. He waistlocks but Wolfgang blocks and powers Mastiff to a corner. Wolfgang throws elbows and clubbing forearms. Wolfgang whips corner to corner but Mastiff reverses. Mastiff runs into Wolfgang’s elbow, then Wolfgang hops up to hit a leaping shoulder! Glasgow cheers as Wolfgang covers, TWO!
Wolfgang keeps on Mastiff and pulls on the arm. Mastiff resists but Wolfgang still gets the full nelson! Wolfgang thrashes Mastiff around, but Mastiff endures. Mastiff breaks free but Wolfgang clubs him in the back. Wolfgang gets the full nelson back on, but Mastiff endures again. Mastiff manages to lift Wolfgang but Wolfgang holds onto the hold. Mastiff flips Wolfgang off his back and then drops a senton! Wolfgang writhes from being squashed, but Mastiff keeps on him. Wolfgang powers Mastiff to a corner and rams shoulders in over and over! Glasgow fires up as Wolfgang crossbodies Mastiff in the corner! Wolfgang climbs up and leaps for double ax handles! Mastiff staggers but Wolfgang manages a fireman’s carry! Wasteland slam, and Wolfgang fires up!
Glasgow fires up with him as he climbs up again. Wolfgang leaps, but the Howling flops! Mastiff runs and crossbodies Wolfgang! Then he waistlocks to German Suplex Wolfgang into the corner! Wolfgang is down and Mastiff runs corner to corner, Into the Void! Cover, Mastiff wins!
Winner: Dave Mastiff, by pinfall
Glasgow isn’t happy that the Fatal 4 Way is only one-fourth Gallus. But Mastiff isn’t upset that they’re upset, because now he’s literally the biggest man in that match. Will Mastiff throw someone else Into the Void to become the next #1 contender?
But before Radzy can interview him in the ring, the rest of Gallus attacks! Glasgow cheers the Coffey Brothers as they go after Mastiff! Mastiff fights back but gets a boot from Wolfgang! And a forearm from Mark! And All the Best from Joe! Gallus stands tall but they’re not done. Wolfgang climbs up as Glasgow chants “We Are Gallus!” HOWLING SWANTON! The Bomber is down, but he’s not the only one who should worry. Will Gallus use any means necessary to make NXT UK their Kingdom?
NXT UK relives NXT TakeOver: New York and the WWE UK Championship.
The Bruiserweight and the Ring General went back and forth, chop for CHOP and move for move. But in the end, it would all come crashing down for Pete Dunne as Walter came crashing down with a huge splash. Walter is only the third-ever WWE UK Champion, but will Dunne become the first-ever two-time UK Champion? These two make history all over again next week!
My Thoughts:
A great episode for NXT UK’s second night in Glasgow. We got some great women’s division action, though mostly filler on the road to Toni Storm’s next title match. Piper squashes Hayter to keep strong towards the inevitable grudge match with Rhea Ripley, and Jazzy Gabert gets quite the debut in attacking Xia Brookside. It is an interesting move to have Jinny be Jazzy’s manager, but maybe this leads to Jinny using Jazzy as a proxy to take the title off Toni. Toni VS Nina is coming, and looks to be good, but I’d expect Toni to win when Nina’s barely done anything but talk trash. Toni VS Jazzy will be great, hopefully part of a UK TakeOver, as well.
Jack Starz made for the perfect jobber to Ilja Dragunov. He’s just the right size and is already the jobber of all NXT UK. Ilja will surely climb the ranks quickly given his resume from the European indies, and is just another reason I wish NXT UK could have a midcard title. Both qualifiers were great, and the right choices won. Devlin has been red hot even in losing, and he’ll make a great addition to the Fatal 4. Mastiff wins to give us the first Face in the match, and Glasgow already got their win when Joe Coffey qualified last week. But of course, Glasgow still gets to cheer as Gallus stands tall to end the night. Obviously this is also a tease that in the Fatal 4 Way, where there are no disqualifications, nothing can stop Gallus from making it feel more like 3v1v1v1.
The question is, who is the fourth man? Ohno makes a play to Sid, so he should at least be one option, but it might be whoever he faces in a match. But I also wouldn’t be surprised if the rematch of Dar VS Andrews is suddenly made into that qualifier, they’re both great Faces and it’d prompt Ohno to be upset and move into a program with whoever doesn’t qualify for the Fatal 4. I’m not even sure it matters about dynamics of Face and Heel, because I’m pretty sure Walter retains. Walter can be seen as a Tweener, so going against a Heel like Devlin or Coffey or a Face like Mastiff doesn’t change that he and his future opponent can have a great match.
My Score: 8.4/10

Coverage
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!

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 – *

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.

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!

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 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
