Candice LeRae & Io Shirai VS Jessamyn Duke & Marina Shafir!
At TakeOver: XXV, Mrs. Wrestling helped the Genius of the Sky keep the Horsewomen at bay, though it didn’t stop Shayna Baszler still getting the drop on her challenger. Now Candice and Shirai take on Jessamyn and Marina in the ring to send a message to the Queen of Spades!
The teams sort out and Candice says she’ll start. Jessamyn rushes her with a boot but Candice gets under to roll her up! TWO, but Candice dropkicks Jessamyn down. Jessamyn scrambles and tags Marina. Marina swings but gets a dropkick from Candice, too! Candice elbows Marina in the corner then snapmares her out for a neck snap! Jackknife cover, TWO! Marina bails out and regroups with Jessamyn, but Candice slides to wreck them with a dropkick! But Marina throws Candice back in, only to get a swing kick this time! Candice puts Marina in now, then climbs up top. Jessamyn distracts and Marina kicks Candice down! Candice falls to the mat and Marina drags her up. Shayna stays on the stage to watch this as Marina tags Jessamyn. Jessamyn knees and clubs Candice to the mat as fans boo and jeer.
Jessamyn ax kicks Candice down! Cover, TWO! Jessamyn stays on Candice with a push and a kick to the back! Tag to Marina, and Marina drags Candice up for shoulders and a judo hip toss! Cover, TWO! Marina drags Candice up for a modified stretch! Candice endures and fans rally up. Candice fights out and swings to arm-drag Marina. Marina kicks Shirai to keep her from tagging in! Then Marina kicks Candice to the Horsewomen corner to tag Jessamyn. Jessamyn stomps a mudhole into Candice to Shayna’s liking. Jessamyn knees Candice hard then covers, TWO! Fans rally but Jessamyn gets Candice in an armlock. Candice slips out and reaches for Shirai, but Jessamyn whips her away. Candice fights out of the corner, and pushes towards her corner.

Shirai then runs in to Meteora Jessamyn in the corner! But she’s not done there, she hops up and up, only for Shayna to save her Horsewomen. So Shirai MOONSAULTS onto Shayna!! And stomps her out!
The Horsewomen go to save Shayna but Candice DIVES onto them both! Shirai will not stop beating down Shayna, she puts her into the steel steps! The ref has to call this off from the chaos at ringside!
No Contest

Shirai throws Shayna into railing while Candice is fighting two Horsewomen all the way to the stage! Security rushes out to end the scrapping on stage, but Shirai and Shayna are still fighting towards backstage! Will order be restored in Baltimore?!
NXT North American Champion, Velveteen Dream, shares a video.
“It’s beautiful. It’s solid. It can go forever. And it deserves the spotlight.” Dream isn’t talking about the title. But who is ready for the next experience? You’ll just have to #DreamOn.
NXT, Damian Priest is coming.
Do not let the glitz and glam of his daily life fool you, this Priest is no saint. Who will face punishment when Damian debuts?
Submission Match: KUSHIDA VS Drew Gulak!
The last time these two tied up in NXT, the Time Splitter proved he could out maneuver the Philly Stretcher, and won with a spectacular cradle cover. But Gulak being the (self-proclaimed) best submission specialist in the WWE today would call Kushida a coward for not trying to tap him out. Obviously Kushida took offense, and now we’re having a rematch where Gulak can put his money where his mouth is! Who will make the other simply tap out?
Fans cheer for Kushida already with the bell. Gulak and Kushida go around and Kushida tries a leg guard. Gulak gets a leg but Kushida slips around but then so does Gulak. They roll and Gulak has the waistlock but Kushida slips out. Fans cheer this already great technical exchange. Kushida and Gulak go again, and go shoulder to shoulder. Kushida hops on for a body scissors but Gulak keeps the guillotine away. Gulak tries a cover but Kushida rolls for an armbar attempt. Kushida then shifts to get a leg then floats to a facelock. Gulak keeps his cool as he rolls around. Kushida holds on then floats all over Gulak, and pats him on the back! Fans love this second exchange even more than the first!
Gulak grimaces as he and Kushida tie up. They end up on the ropes but Gulak keeps hold as the ref counts. Kushida escapes and they tie up again. Kushida avoids a leg takedown to get a leg, but Gulak blocks that. Gulak wants the ropebreak but Kushida rolls him away to gator roll to an armbar! Gulak blocks with a strong grip and they roll around. Kushida has the hammerlock, and then pulls on the far arm. Kushida steps over and around to torque the arm, to then fall back and tweak the arms! Gulak winces but punches back. Gulak puts Kushida in a corner to CHOP! He whips Kushida corner to corner but Kushdia slides out. Kushida gets in and Gulak gives chase, only to get the handspring heel kick!
Fans are fired up behind Kushida as he fetches Gulak. Kushida puts Gulak in and is right on him for another armlock. Gulak stands but Kushida wrenches. Kushida wrenches agani but Gulak scoop slams hard! It was an inverted slam so Kushida lands on his face! Gulak does it again! Gulak drags Kushida up for a gut wrench into a Gory Especial! Kushida endures as Gulak pulls the arms way back! And the legs, too! Gulak makes it a back slide, but that’s only for a DEEP Boston Crab! Kushida rolls to throw Gulak away, but the damage has been done. Gulak goes right at Kushida grabs an arm for a hammerlock, but Kushida rolls around. Gulak gets Kushida down for a headlock and armlock, and also blocks headscissors.
Fans rally and Kushida sits up, but Gulak throws him down! Gulak grinds a forearm into Kushida’s face. Fans rally up and Kushida fights again. Gulak knees low then wrenches to go after the shoulder. Kushida endures as Gulak leans on him with all his weight. Kushida still fights up and throws forearms. Gulak wrenches again but Kushida starts kicking! Kushida breaks free and starts rallying with forearms! He whips and hip tosses Gulak down! Gulak gets to a corner and Kushida runs in, but Gulak dodges. Gulak runs into another hip toss, and Kushida handspring dropkicks Gulak down! Kushida fires himself up as Gulak goes to the corner. Kushida goes to the apron, and runs to enziguri Gulak down! And then steps in for a tornado DDT! Into an armbar!
Gulak flails and reaches, but Kushida pulls back! Gulak gets a ropebreak with his feet! Kushida lets Gulak go, but vows to get him next time. He wrenches the arm to shoulder breakers, then kicks! But Gulak avoids it, and runs and rolls to sunset flip Kushida! Kushida rolls through to jackknife, but Gulak rolls through to do the same. These pins aren’t going to matter, but Kushida uses it all to get an ANKLE LOCK! Gulak rolls to get one of his own! Kushida reaches but Gulak pulls him away. Gulak stomps Kushida down to then sink that lock in DEEP! This is some Pancrase stuff right here! Kushida crawls as fans rally behind him, and he gets a ropebreak! Gulak holds until 4 to do more damage. Kushida takes shelter under the bottom rope, but both he and Gulak go to the apron.
Fans rally again as Gulak kicks at Kushida. Kushida kicks back, but into Gulak’s Electric Chair! But Kushida huricanranas Gulak into the ring! Both men land a bit badly, but are able to continue. Kushida sits up first and gets some space. Fans build to another rally as both he and Gulak head for each other. They throw forearms from the mat and then to their feet. Gulak throws more, but gets the FAST BALL! Kushida runs into a dropkick! Gulak whips but Kushida handsprings to back elbow! Kushida takes aim, and Penalty Kicks the arm out! And then runs again, to tilt-o-whirl takedown to the Hoverboard!! Gulak taps, Kushida wins!!
Winner: Kushida
That’s 2-0 between Kushida and Gulak, and even at Gulak’s own game! Kushdia is respectful, applauding Gulak’s effort. But Gulak doesn’t seem to accept Kushida’s handshake, because he wants to offer it himself. Kushida takes it, and Gulak leaves, both men having won each other’s respect. Will Kushida use this momentum to head for a title opportunity?
NXT Media catches up with #BorneBougie.
“It is our favorite time of day, guys.” After all their hard work, both Aliyah and Vanessa get to go home. But guess who thinks they’re next in line for an NXT Women’s title shot? Mia Yim. It hurts to say that. That is not right! Aliyah and Vanessa are more deserving! Head Baddie in Charge? In charge of just bringing down the division! That “lower” doesn’t look, act or talk like a champion. She’s probably illiterate.
Speaking of, “The Highers” got her some books. The Fashion Bible, English for Everyone, Grammar for Dummies. She needs those for both her looks and her social media. Maybe then Mia can level up to a caliber closer to Vanessa and Aliyah. Because only then will they have a match with Mia, because they do not have matches with trash. Will Mia make Vanessa and Aliyah eat those words when she makes them Eat DaFeet?
NXT GM William Regal decides on a HUGE match for Shayna and Shirai!
Since brawls keep breaking out between these two and their friends, the Queen of Spades and Genius of the Sky will be in a match to keep them in and everyone else out. Yes, in two weeks, it will be a steel cage match, for the NXT Women’s Championship! Will Shayna manage to escape the steel with title still around her waist? Or will Shirai walk out having finally dethroned the Queen?
Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch VS The Undisputed Era!
While neither team came away from that demolition derby of a ladder match the NXT Tag Team Champions, there is always a chance they can become #1 contenders. However, reDRagon is again separated as Bobby Fish goes down with a new injury. Will Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong then be back in line for a shot at the Street Profits? Or will the BritAm Brawlers punch their ticket to take on the #CurseofGreatness?
Both teams are fired up even before the bell but the ref keeps them back. The teams sort out and Kyle starts against Lorcan. The bell rings and they tie up immediately. Kyle waistlocks but Lorcan standnig switches. Kyle switches but Lorcan switches, but Kyle switches back to bring Lorcan down for a leg lock. Lorcan kicks Kyle off but then Kyle kicks him. Kyle throws forearms to back Lorcan down. He starts kicking and throws more forearms, but Lorcan CHOPS back! Kyle turns things back around, but so does Lorcan, for another CHOP! Lorcan lights Kyle up with chops, but Kyle headlocks. Lorcan powers out, but Kyle runs Lorcan over. Kyle runs but Lorcan stays low. Kyle rolls to boot Lorcan, but Lorcan European Uppercuts back! Lorcan takes Kyle’s boot to CHOP him again!
Kyle and Lorcan grit their teeth as they start throwing forearms back and forth. Lorcan gets the edge, but Strong runs in, only for Burch to be right on him! We have big brawls going, but the Undisputed Era ends up outside the ring. Lorcan FLIES to take them both out! He puts Kyle back in to tag Burch. Burch runs in to give a corner clothesline and enziguri, then feeds Kyle to the Half ‘n’ Half! Knee trigger from Burch, cover, but Strong breaks it! Burch rocks Strong with a right hand, and Lorcan tags back in. Burch stomps Strong and Lorcan has Kyle. They use each other to make the run in and out to clothesline the Undisputed Era. And then again! Burch and Lorcan go for a third, but Strong boots Burch to throw him into Lorcan! Kyle staggers out and starts kicking Lorcan.
Tag to Strong and Strong puts Lorcan in the corner for CHOPS of his own! Strong stomps a mudhole, then scoops Lorcan for a backbreaker! Strong drags Lorcan to the corner and tags in Kyle. The Undisputed Era CHOP and kick Lorcan over and over! Kyle waistlocks and wrangles Lorcan down to elbow and knee the ribs! Kyle runs and slides to ram Lorcan’s ribs even harder! Fans fire up for both sides as Kyle tags Strong. Strong stomps Lorcan more, then catapults him into the bottom rope! Lorcan gasps while Strong swipes at Burch. Strong goes after Lorcan but Lorcan throws hands, only for Strong to dropkick him down! Cover, TWO! Strong smothers Lorcan with a facelock and gator roll. Fans rally up both ways and Strong pulls Lorcan back in a camel clutch.
Lorcan endures as Kyle talks trash and Burch coaches him up. Fans rally and Lorcan fights his way up. Lorcan reaches for Burch but Strong clobbers Burch first! Strong stomps Lorcan then tags Kyle. The Undisputed Era work together, gutbuster and knee drop! Kyle grinds Lorcan down while also throwing hands. Kyle chinlocks but Lorcan fights back, only to get a knee. Then Kyle ties up the legs and clubs the back to then go for an abdominal stretch. Lorcan endures as Strong taunts him now. Fans rally again and Lorcan fights his way up. Kyle makes it a cover, TWO! Lorcan blasts him with a EuroUpper!
Kyle is back with haymakers, but Lorcan forearms back. They hit back and forth, but then Kyle kicks low. Kyle goes for a guillotine but Lorcan slips out to CHOP back! Lorcan hits Strong down before giving Kyle a blockbuster! Hot tags to Burch and Strong! Burch rallies with big hands and a back drop! Burch keeps rocking Strong with haymakers, but Strong whips, only for Burch to shotgun dropkick him down! Then an exploder! Burch kips right up, and rocks Kyle as he comes in. Strong fireman’s carries, but Burch slips out, Kyle tags in as Strong bucks Burch off. Bruch throws Strong out but gets Kyle’s knee. He avoids ax ‘n’ smash to HEADBUTT! And then powerbomb! Cover, TWO!! To a Crossface!! Kyle flails but Strong saves him. Burch swipes at Strong but walks into Kyle’s big forearm. Burch hits Kyle back, Kyle lunatic- er, pendulum lariats!
Tag to Strong, and Undisputed Era coordinate on Burch. Strong CHOPS Burch for their version of Chase the Dragon! Cover, but Lorcan barrels through Kyle to break it! Fans are thunderous as all four men are down! The teams regroup as fans chant for “NXT! NXT!” Lorcan and Burch glare at the Undisputed Era and vice-versa. Burch even grins as another brawl starts! The fans duel as both teams hit back and forth. Kyle punches Burch but Lorcan CHOPS Kyle! Lorcan boots but Strong blocks, Kyle kicks and Strong KNEES Lorcan out! Burch comes back with haymakers, only to get a knee. Ax and DOUBLE SMASH! But everyone is down! Fans are on their feet, but then Jaxson Ryker shows up!?
The referees try to keep the Gunner away while Strong tags Kyle. Ryker wrecks security! But in the ring, Burch disrupts Strong Annihilation to roll Kyle up! Burch & Lorcan win!!
Winners: Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan, Burch pinning
Ryker meant to ruin the match, but he helped the One Two Combination come away with the win! Ryker stays back, but clearly he hasn’t forgotten what happened to him and the Forgotten Sons. Will the Undisputed Era have to deal with the relentless Ryker before going for gold?
My Thoughts:
What a great episode for NXT, especially with them on tour. The opening tag was really great, but obviously this didn’t lead to my predicted Six Woman Tag. Technically, this didn’t lead to a historic Extreme Rules type match, either. All that brawling and the hitting with the chairs and kendo sticks, and instead we get a Steel Cage match. It’s for the title, though, but the cage is really only for Shirai to do a SUPER moonsault off of. I can’t be sure Shirai wins now if it’s just a cage match, because I feel like the world of wrestling has done all it can with the cage. At least, one cage. I don’t see this story of Shirai, Shayna and the Horsewomen lasting all the way to WarGames 2019 in November, but a Women’s WarGames might not be so bad.
While Vanessa Borne & Aliyah delivered their promo well, the promo itself was obviously written to be all self-centered Heel stuff because no, they’re not more deserving than Mia Yim. I don’t know if Mia will face them both in turn or get a tag partner to take them together, but I’m thinking Mia comes out on top while she waits for her turn at the title. While I don’t want Kushida getting stuck on 205 Live, if he and Gulak keep having Submission matches, I’d be for it for just a bit. But Gulak is busy on 205 Live so he might not be on NXT again for some time. Kushida is going strong, so I wonder if he’ll be headed for the NXT North American Championship next. Maybe once TakeOver: Toronto draws near, we’ll see that build.
The NXT Tag Team Division has really sprung back faster than I expected. It is a shame Fish is out with a bad arm, because I would’ve loved for reDRagon to finally get to do things. But Kyle & Strong are teamed up again and they had a great match with Lorcan & Burch, as expected of these four. I did not think Ryker would show up to distract, but it obviously worked out for Lorcan & Burch. If the Undisputed Era really starts feuding with the Forgotten Sons, that has to turn the Undisputed Era Face, right? Or can the Era be a true Tweener group for NXT? Fans love them no matter what, so perhaps that’s where they can go in this pursuit of all the gold. And while fans may not like the Sons, I feel like Ryker could be over as an individual because he’s just a beast.
My Score: 8.7/10

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
