PLAY BY PLAY
The landscape of NXT UK is in flux!
“This is OUR N X T U K!” But slowly, the Bruiserweight and Moustache Mountain were undermined by a new union. A Ring General found his soldiers, and they took over! Imperium claims supremacy, but British Strong Style reunites to defend their territory. A brawl was not enough to settle this, so now a war must be waged! Will Big Strong Boys or big strong men be the ones who stand tall at the end of tonight?
Jazzy Gabert & Jinny VS Xia Brookside & Isla Dawn!
When the Fierce Fashionista saw the Alpha Female in the NXT UK crowd at TakeOver: Blackpool, she knew then and there she could get a powerful ally in the Women’s Division. And their first action was for Jazzy to destroy the young second-generation superstar. But the White Witch of Scotland is ready to #FlyWithBrookside to show the snob and the bully this is not their NXT UK Women’s Division! Will Xia and Isla be able to cast a spell on Jinny & Jazzy? Or will they simply be cast aside on Jinny’s journey to the top?
The teams sort out and Jinny starts with Isla. Glasgow cheers their own as she ties up with Jinny. Jinny gets a wristlock and shifts to a hammerlock, but Isla slips out to a fireman’s takedown. Isla has the arm and wrenches Jinny to a hammerlock of her own. Isla wrangles Jinny to the mat and pulls on the other arm. Fans cheer as Isla tortures the arm with twisting and pulling. Isla yanks the arm and Jinny flails and writhes. Isla has her again and brings Jinny over to tag in Xia. Xia hops up and drops ax handles on Jinny’s arm. Xia wrenches and reels Jinny in for a thrashing headlock! Jinny slips out to wrench Xia but Xia spins through using the ropes. Xia wrenches and whips Jinny to ropes. Xia follows to dropkick Jinny down!
But before Xia can get back on her, Jinny gets to her corner and tags in Jazzy. Jazzy grimaces at Xia, but Xia still goes for a leg. Jazzy blocks the takedown into a vicious standing armbar! She wrenches Xia but Xia again flips through. Xia knees low then hops up, but the huricanrana is blocked! Jazzy pops Xia up but Xia sunset flips, only for Jazzy to block! Jazzy yanks Xia up and roars as she tosses Xia into a corner! And then across the ring! Jazzy looms over Xia before bringing her back up. Fans rally but Jinny tags in. Jazzy holds Xia for Jinny to kick and stomp into the corner. The ref counts and Jinny backs off at 4, to come back for more. Jinny grinds Xia down while she tags Jazzy in.
Jazzy drags Xia up and scoops her. But Xia slips out and ducks, to tag in Isla! Isla throws forearms on Jazzy, but Jazzy shoves her away. Isla comes back with a knee trigger! Fans cheer but Jazzy blocks the buzzsaw! Jazzy grabs Isla for a knee, and then a roaring powerbomb lift. Canadian rack to Dominator Slam! Jinny demands to tag in, and Jazzy obeys. Jinny gets to cover Isla, for the win!
Winners: Jinny & Jazzy Gabert, Jinny pinning
The Spoiled Princess gets the pinfall, but we all know Jazzy did the heavy lifting, literally. With this combination of brains, brawn and bratty, will Jinny and Jazzy take over NXT UK together?
NXT UK hears from Ligero.
“When I was born, I was born with my right eye closed. And it wasn’t until I was 8 years old, when I had an operation to correct that.” Kids made fun of him, and that stuck with him. He felt shy and insecure, but he always wanted to be a pro-wrestler. So he found something to help him be more confident: the mask. From there, the Luchador of Leeds became a workhorse. He embraced his mask and the action. It is what makes him memorable to the fans. They will remember the guy with the mask and horns. “This will be the identity that I always have. I am Ligero.” When and where will The Light return to NXT UK?
NXT UK Media interviews Kenny Williams.
As someone who knows Noam Dar well, what does the Lucky Yan think of the Scottish Supernova’s recent behavior, such as in his rematch with Mark Andrews not too long ago? Kenny feels sorry for Andrews, but isn’t surprised by Dar. They’re close mates but Dar has also been a “chancer,” that is to say, an opportunist. There’s always that one friend who is “a bit of a pellet,” but you still like him. That’s Dar! At the end of the day, what Dar does is not affecting Kenny’s conduct. Especially when Kenny takes on Kassius Ohno next week. Kenny doesn’t have to be a chancer, he just has to #StayLucky. But will luck help Kenny defeat the Wrestling Genius?
Ilja Dragunov VS Joseph Conners!
The Moscow Madman is the newest member of the NXT UK roster, which just makes him another “shiny new toy” for the Righteous Killer to break. But will it really be that easy? Or will #UNBESIEGBAR be what breaks Conners instead?
The bell rings and the two circle. Fans cheer for Ilja as he and Conners tie up. They go around the ring, then break. Ilja smirks, and nods as Conners talks trash. Then Ilja rushes Conners into the corner! The ref keeps Ilja back and Conners knees low. Conners clubs Ilja, but Ilja dares him to bring more. Conners tries to chop but Ilja blocks, spins and CHOPS Conners! Ilja drops a BIG senton! Fans fire up with Ilja as he stalks Conners. Ilja clamps on with a neck wrench, and Conners endures the crank. Conners fights his way up but Ilja knees him hard. Ilja clubs even harder on Conners’ back. Conners gets out and eggs Ilja on. Ilja gives chase but Conners gets back in the ring. Ilja runs in and escapes the scoop to enziguri Conners down!
Fans cheer the athleticism, and fire up with Ilja as he runs. But Conners ducks and lets Ilja’s crossbody hit nothing but ropes! Ilja gasps for air but Conners is right on him. Conners puts him in a corner for a buckle bump, then corner to corner for another. Conners throws hands and stomps until the ref pulls him off. But Conners just comes back with a BIG clothesline! Cover, ONE! Fans cheer but Conners whips Ilja into a headbutt. Conners wraps Ilja up in a half straitjacket. Fans rally up and Ilja pries free, but not for long. Ilja keeps working on escaping, and fans give him the power to stand. Ilja powers out, slipping under the hold! Conners panics but Ilja gives him a big forearm. Conners gives a forearm, but Ilja just powers up!
Ilja swings, but Conners ducks, only for Ilja to spin through the takedown to give Conners a big knee! Fans fire up again as Ilja runs corner to corner for a big corner clothesline! Ilja keeps going, but runs into a boot! Conners runs out, and sunset flip powerbombs Ilja into buckles! Conners slingshots out then in, but into Ilja’s fireman’s carry! Ilja Death Valley drives Conners into buckles! Ilja fires up more, and Glasgow with him, as he drags Conners up. Pump handle, Fall Away Slam! Ilja takse aim from the corner and leads the fans in “UN! BE! SIEG! BAR!” The Moscow Torpedo! Cover, Ilja wins!
Winner: Ilja Dragunov, by pinfall
The Moscow Madman makes another dominant showing! Will he take over NXT UK on the road to TakeOver: Cardiff?
NXT UK Media interviews NXT UK Women’s Champion, Toni Storm.
The Lightning from Down Under retained against Nina Samuels to stay champion, but what is next for her? Toni knows that every woman on the roster wants the “shiny shiny.” And that’s a lot of pressure, but Toni loves it! Toni loves the wild side. She heard what Kay Lee Ray has said. If KLR wants some #ToniTime, she knows where to find her. But regardless of who, what, when and how, the “shiny shiny” stays home sweet home with Toni. Toni is all smiles, but there is a HUGE NXT UK Women’s Championship Contender’s Battle Royal next week! Who out of the entire roster rises up to have their shot at the “shiny shiny” around Toni’s waist?
NXT UK presents Travis Banks: Defined.
The difference between the Kiwi Buzzsaw and who Banks is out of the ring is rather striking. Banks is a very laid back person, because he has a very high work ethic. The new #1 Contender to the WWE United Kingdom Championship lets himself relax and soak in what he’s earned and achieved. He came in with high expectations, because he’s a very goal oriented person. His experience at Royal Albert Hall was incredible. Don’t quote him on this, but he might have been the first Kiwi wrestler there in 50 years. It was all historic for Banks and pro-wrestling in general.
Banks did have a hard loss in the finals, and he had serious injuries to overcome. The shoulder injury took him out for three months. He hates being inactive, so being told he had to avoid serious activity for those three months, it almost drove him crazy. But it was a good thing, because it put things in perspective. When Banks returned to NXT UK, he added a new chapter with his rivalry with Jordan Devlin. Being denied a part in NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool, it was frustrating. He thought his years of work were all going to culminate in that one night. But Banks also knew that if and when he got a second chance, he’d take it. And that led Banks to the Fatal 4 Way match.
“This is the moment I’ve been working towards.” This is the day he was waiting for to make his underdog story work out. Banks says it will take more than one chop, one bomb or whatever else Walter throws at him. Banks’ sacrifice and work was for this. And as great as being champion would be, it’ll be even greater off of Walter. Will the Kiwi Buzzsaw be ready when he finally collides with the Austrian Anomaly?
NXT UK catches up with The Hunt at the UK Performance Center.
Wild Boar and Primate come out of the trainer’s room, and tell Gallus that next week, #TheHuntisOn! Will Mark Coffey and Wolfgang regret riling up these two wild animals?
Six Man Tag: British Strong Style VS Imperium!
Tyler Bate and Trent Seven are Moustache Mountain, but when you add the Bruiserweight, Pete Dunne, you get the pillars of this NXT UK Division! They’ve been champions and they’ve been challengers, but now they’re being challenged for supremacy by the Ring General and his allies! Which trio stands tall atop their NXT UK?
The teams sort out fans cheer for British Strong Style as Pete Dunne starts against Fabian Aichner. The bell rings and Dunne goes right at Aichner with forearms! Dunne stomps Aichner in a corner but the ref backs him off. Aichner blasts Dunne with a clothesline! Aichner stomps away then rains down right hands. He lets up at the ref’s reprimand, but then comes back for more haymakers. Dunne gets up and kicks Aichner. Aichner headlocks but Dunne powers out.

Bate keeps on Aichner but Aichner knees and clubs back.
Aichner tags Marcel Barthel in before whipping Bate. Bate dodges both of them to dropkick Barthel and Aichner down in turn. Bate kips up and checks his moustache, but Barthel throat chops Bate to a corner! Barthel stomps Bate in the corner but the ref reprimands him. Barthel backs off at 4, but comes back to cravat Bate to a snapmare. He scrapes Bate’s face then grinds his forearm in. The ref counts again but Barthel lets up at 4. Barthel drives elbows into Bate’s head, then drags him up for a whip. Bate reverses and arm-drags Barthel! Bate wrenches then tags in Seven! Seven fireman’s carries Barthel for the Wasteland Slam, then Bate uses Seven for the knee-board senton! Seven covers, TWO! Fans sing for Seven as he facelocks Barthel.
Barthel slips out to kick Seven down! Barthel brings Seven up for European Uppercuts! He has Seven in the corner and tags Walter in. Fans boo as Walter kicks Seven. Seven gets free of the Imperium corner and he circles with Walter. They tie up and Walter powers Seven to a corner. Walter lets go at 4, but Seven dodges the chop. Seven CHOPS Walter, but Walter doesn’t flinch! Walter shoves Seven to a corner, but he misses his chop again. Seven CHOPS away, then CHOPS Barthel away ash e runs over. Seven goes back to CHOP Walter, but sees Aichner coming. Aichner falls for the feint to get the DDT! Fans fire up with Seven, but Walter CHOPS Seven off his feet!

Barthel covers while Walter gets the ref in. Imperium wins!!
Winners: Imperium, Marcel Barthel pinning
Imperium is victorious, but is it also now four man strong? Wolfe lost his SAnitY, but has he gained absolute power alongside Walter, Barthel and Aichner? Judging by how he stands side-by-side with them, he has! What does this mean for all of NXT UK?!
My Thoughts:
What a great episode for NXT UK! There’s a lot of time still before TakeOver: Cardiff, but this episode had plenty of stuff to make progress towards that. We just right to action with the women’s tag match. Obviously Jinny & Jazzy were going to win, but it should’ve been obvious that Jinny would want to take credit. This dynamic will probably be how it is until someone catches Jinny by surprise to beat them. For that matter, with that Women’s Battle Royal next week, it will surely go that way, too. Jinny will have Jazzy do the work and protect her, but something will happen where Jazzy gets eliminated and Jinny is completely vulnerable. Given the frequent mentioning of Kay Lee Ray and the title, KLR is winning the battle royal to challenge Toni, but it might be a match to carry over and then it’s Jazzy at TakeOver.
We got a great video package for Ligero, he is obviously still going to be big for NXT UK. It seems like NXT UK is trying to set up Kenny Williams VS Noam Dar with that promo there, which would be a good feud for both guys. Dragunov VS Conners was good but of course Dragunov won. He got to give us more of his personality and style, but I feel like Dragunov’s first serious feud should be with Kassius Ohno or someone of that toughness, so that Dragunov can really give us his full arsenal. We also got a great video for Travis Banks that felt like a sample of a future WWE Network special. But I still feel like Banks might be on the same track as KLR, where this match will be a hold-over until another contender moves up for TakeOver.
The Six Man Tag was incredible! All the story was present, and all six men got to show their signatures, it was really good. I was definitely surprised to see Imperium get a new member already, but it’s great to see there is still somewhere for Alexander Wolfe to be when Vince goes and breaks up SAnitY before even really giving them a chance. Imperium being the first four-man unit in NXT UK, I really want there to be a midcard title already. Barthel and Aichner are the tag team, Walter is already the top champion, so Wolfe needs something to do if he’s in another faction. I do feel that Banks will team with British Strong Style for a massive Eight Man before his title match with Walter, and that will be even greater than this!
My Score: 8.4/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 6.19.25
Are we going to start trending upwards with Slammiversary to build toward?

Last week’s episode was lacking in ring work but had decent story moments and segments. Starting the build to Slammiversary we can either launch nicely or things can always get worse. Jason Hotch and KC Navarro are the real shining stars of the last few months, so lets hope once they get over this Leon Slater idiot ship, they can push X Division wrestlers with actual talent for pro wrestling and not just flippy charisma vacuums.
Oh and let’s not forget, it is the episode they celebrate the 23rd anniversary of TNA! TWENTY – THREE!! Somewhere PCO hates this.
.@Kelly_WP is back in TNA Wrestling and has a message for TNA Knockouts World Champion @mashaslamovich!

Results:
Sami Callihan vs Eric Young w/Losers
Sami knocks them all off the apron before the bell rings, he levels the loser children, finds a chair, attacks EY but EY counters and this is the excuse to use weapons since the bell didn’t ring yet. EY tries to break Sami’s hand on the steps with the chair, but Sami moves, throws EY back in the ring, bell rings and EY hits a Belly to Belly suplex for two. They slug it out, Sami goes for Headbutts, then Sami wants to run the ropes but a loser trips him, distracts long enough for EY to knock him out of the ring and loser children swarm as loser children do. EY does the classic, throw back out for losers to attack while EY grabs and distracts the ref. Sami is selling a few lame attacks from the losers like he got shot. It’s an excessive sell, so it’s honestly a dumb transitional moment.
EY levels Sami, Lariat into Scoop Slam, looks for the Macho Elbow but Sami hits the ropes to crotch EY. Sami Superplex time, but EY bites the face to make Sami drop, EY jumps at him but eats a straight right hand. Cactus Driver, but no, EY tries his Piledriver…they both gouge eyes at the same time, Sami catches an EY charge into a Flatliner as they’re both down…for…reasons? The selling in this match seems…poorly timed and kinda stupid. Hard Irish Whip, EY Flair Flips the corner, levels Sami, Macho Elbow for 2.9! EY threatens to hit the ref, but then goes to mad dog commentary. EY then wants to attack fans…he’s more unhinged than World Elite EY. Sami gives him the old Dick Twist into a Stunner but only for two! Losers try to distract, first one gets taken out, second one uses a chair, EY hits the Piledriver on Sami, EY wins.
I feel like this is gonna continue for a few weeks since it wasn’t a clean win.Â
Mustafa Ali’s group comes out, and I refuse to say the name because it’s dumb and they’re already fraying at the seams. Ali wants an apology session, Tasha and Hotch apologize to him but Skyler bites back and refuses, even shoved Ali. So Ali challenges him to a “Call to Arms” match. What in the hell is a Call to Arms match?Â
Lei Ying Lee & Masha Slamovich vs The Elegance Clique w/M & Personal Concierge
ASH does her borderline racist fake karate before Lei stares her down and tags in Heather. Heather avoids Lei, Lei throws a few Tornado Kicks to make a point and Heather tags out. Heather being 4’8″ helps her here. Concierge says “There’s no Karate in wrestling”. ASH, Lei and Masha are in the ring, ASH is trying to decide who she wants to face, but the Concierge google translated it and hands it to ASH, before the face team rocks ASH. Masha lifts up Lei and Lei does the Liu Kang Bicycle Kick, steering more into her Mortal Kombat aesthetic. Senton off the apron from Lei and Masha dives into the pile, the comedy heels are getting leveled. We go to commercial and come back with Lei getting Double Teamed but she spins it into a weird Neckbreaker..but can’t tag out just yet. Lei blocks Heather, Enzuigiri, simultaneous tag, Masha is Yakuza kicks for all and the 2 for 1 Lariat/DDT special. Near fall, but Masha goes for murder, but Heather breaks it, Rocket Launcher/Code Breaker from Elegance but Lei breaks up the pin. ASH tries to intimidate Lei with her fake Karate before throwing her out of the ring. Heather hits Lei with a handful of Glitter and then bounces her face off the post. Masha tries to stop ASH, Kelly’s music distracts Masha, Rarefied Air gives ASH the win.
Santino comes out and GOD DAMMIT no one wants to see Tommy Dreamer fight Mance Warner…that’s a useless thing. Pivot away…no one wants this. Oh no, now we have to listen to Steph talk too. Okay it seems to be a pivot, thankfully. Steph and Mance talk shit, Dreamer says something about Something is gonna happen…and Jake Something comes out. So…I guess we’re gonna build him up for 2 months and then job him out for 6 before he fucks off to his home galaxy or whatever?Â

Really wish Indi just opened with the Billy Butcher classic of, “Oi Cunt!” – but this wasn’t bad.Â
Eddie Edwards & JDC w/Alisha & Brian Myers vs Matt Cardona & Home Town Man
I hate… Cardona so much more now. Heel reasons for Cardona…go away heat for Deaner.
JDC wants the Home Town Man to start…and Deaner does his stupid Flip Flop and Fly, Cardona tags in, JDC is eating some offense, Cardona wants the Reboot, JDC powders, Cardona Dives but then Lish and the general numbers catch up to Cardona. Eddie is legal, and now they isolate Cardona with some decent tandem work and isolation. This turns into kind of a schmoz, lots of silly spots, near falls and then Home Town doofus gets the cradle pinfall on Eddie.
Whenever Deaner is involved I can’t be asked to care. The System beats Cardona and Deaner down, but Eddie did eat a pin. Which is embarrassing not even for work reasons, like it’s just sad.
Champion’s Challenge: The Rascalz, Joe Hendry, Leon Slater & Elijah vs The Kaiba Boys, Moose, Steve Maclin & Trick Williams
Elijah and Nic start things off, slow push off, arm wring, top wristlock, simple chain wrestling start. Nic breaks the chain and hits a Dropkick, Elijah runs the ropes and hits a Diving Lariat and starts the Rope Walk. Nic seems far to awake and alert for that move then, I hate how people pull that off too early. Wentz gets tagged in, Nic tags in Maclin who wasn’t looking for a tag, but him and Wentz have a nice clash, Trey tags in, they try to double him, but they pause and look at each other. Maclin asks for a tag, no one tags him so he Chops Ryan to tag him in and throws him in.
The little nod to Maclin and Rascalz history and the fact the faces realize Maclin isn’t a piece of shit. A little MCMG homage tandem attacks on Ryan, Wentz punctuates with the Handspring Knee Lift, Ryan tags out to Trick. Trick and Wentz go back and forth, Rascalz have Trick eating offense, Moose tries to slow things down, both Trick and Moose powder, Rascalz Double Golden Triangle Moonsaults. Trey gets tripped by Nic, Moose hits Lights Out, but there’s no referee so it’s a little chaotic.
Out of the commercial things are controlled kinda and we see a simultaneous tag to Moose and Leon. Leon comes out hot, level Moose with a Leg Lariat, attacks Nic Nemeth, attacks Ryan, and then Moose hits Leon with the Stun Gun. Moose looks to tag in Maclin but Maclin jumps off the apron. Trick takes the tag, keeps control, Trick forcibly tags in Maclin but Ryan tags himself in and pulls Leon to the Champions’ corner, Nic tags in and isolates Leon, with the Kaibas quick tagging and keeping Leon down.
Moose tags in, tries to Suplex Leon about four times but Leon stops it then counters the Suplex. Moose tries to cut him off, but the Champions distract the ref so the ref can’t see Leon tag out. Nic and Moose doubling up and Leon is the bump guy of this last portion of the match. Big Uranage from Moose…Moose looks for Lights Out but Small Package almost ruined things, Body Scissors Cradle, GAME CHANGER! Moose looks to hit a Jacknife Powerbomb but Leon turns it into a DDT. Maclin and Ryan start fighting, Nic Superkicks Maclin, Hendry and Nic tag in, Hendry is a house of fire. Sack of Shits for everyone! Nic, Ryan, there’s a pause when Hendry is face to face with Trick and Trick gets Uppercuts first then Sack of Shit! Standing Ovation on Nic, but Ryan blocks, Kaibas try a tandem attack but Hendry Lariats them both. Elijah tags in and is the maestro of the crowd and chopping Ryan to some fun. Ryan goes for a Polish Hammer but eats the Knee Lift. Signature spam time…
Ryan tries to use the International title but Maclin grabs the title away from Ryan, clocks Nic, Standing Ovation into the Highwayman’s Farewell. Champions lose!
Overall Score: 4/10
Well this was a rough one boys and girls. Sami and EY was just an overbooked shitshow, Lei Ying Lee is unfortunately in a spot where it’s obvious TNA has no clue how to use her, the Elegantos are the New Beautiful People, and I’m not mad at that. But you need to space out your goofball crap. You can’t have Elegance Clique, Home Town Moron and Santino in 3 consecutive segments. And if anyone goes “it was 3 out of 4” that’s doesn’t lessen my point, the beauty of Pro Wrestling being a variety show is…FOR VARIETY! When the lead match feels stupid because of bad pacing, poor selling and overbooking with two losers, it feels like a useless match with idiots, then comedy, followed by more comedy…you see how that’s literally NOT VARIETY.
Figure it out seriously. This was a disappointing episode. If you’re a casual viewer than it’s just chalk for TNA doing cringe and borderline goof crap since they’ve always steered a little more into the carny than other companies. But this show was…where’s Jisoo and Jenny? I feel like I need that gif:

Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty w/ Trish Adora VS Anthony Gangone & Sal Mistretta!
The full force of Shane Taylor Promotions will be felt tonight! Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are in tonight’s main event, but that leaves Big Bad Shaney T Boy and #TAIGASTYLE to open the night. Will they prove that ROH now belongs to STP? Or will Mr. Sleep & #SturdySal show they can rumble, bad man, rumble?
The teams sort out and Lee starts against Gangone. The bell rings and Lee LEG LARIATS Gangone! The fans fire up and Lee says, “Get over here!” Lee puts Gangone in a corner, fires hands, then JUMP KNEES! Lee drags Gangone up and the fans rally behind him. Lee wrenches, and wrenches, then hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Tag to Shane but Gangone ROCKS Lee! Gangone gets away to tag in Sal. Shane and Sal step up as fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Sal ROCKS Shane, but then Shane brushes that off. Shane grins, the fans tell Sal he messed up, and Shane HEADBUTTS Sal! Sal wobbles while Shane shouts, “The hell is wrong with you, chump?”
Shane then YANKS Sal in for the URENAGE! The fans fire up and want that again, but Shane drags Sal around by a leg. Shane says why not. Ripcord and URENAGE! The fans fire up behind Shane and he rolls Sal so he can KNEE him back down! The fans chant for “S T P! S T P!” Shane winds up but Gangone runs in! Lee intercepts for the BORDER CITY STRETCH! Shane says STP reigns supreme! HAYMAKER!! Cover, STP wins!
Winners: Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty, by pinfall
Shane reminds us that he is coming for everything! Everything! Will it be just this easy for STP to own ROH?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
ROH joins in on the crossover with CMLL as next week is Global Wars: Mexico! Lee Moriarty will be in action against none other than THE Blue Panther! Then, Athena & Red Velvet take on Thunder Rosa y Persephone in a dream tag team match! Will the champions of ROH stand tall in Arena Mexico? Or will there be golden tickets handed out left and right?
Pure Rules Match: Deonna Purrazzo VS Marti Belle!
While the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament still needs a full bracket, the Virtuosa is going to keep herself sharp for when she needs to strike. But will there be another masterpiece put together here tonight? Or will Marti prove she herself deserves a chance at making history?
The Code of Honor is upheld and the bell rings. We have 15 minutes as the two circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and then Deonna kicks an arm to wrangle Marti with the top wristlock. Marti rises up, rolls, and wrenches to wristlock. Deonna wrenches and headlocks to hit the takeover. Marti endures, fights up, powers out, but Deonna RUNS her over! Deonna soaks up the cheers and jeers, runs, then steps over Marti’s dropdown to “kick dirt” at her. Deonna eggs Marti on and the two reset. They tie up, Marti waistlocks but Deonna switches. Marti switches, lifts, but Deonna fights. Deonna ELBOWS free, then goes after Marti in the corner.
Deonna whips corner to corner, runs up, but Marti slips outside. Deonna ROCKS Marti first, soaks up more cheers and jeers, then runs, only for Marti to dodge the dropkick! Marti fires forearms, whips, but Deonna reverses and throat chops! Deonna sends Marti into steel steps! The fans are torn but Deonna wants the ring count. Deonna says it is just too easy, and Marti is rising up as the count starts. Deonna eggs Marti on, the fans rally, and Marti huffs ‘n’ puffs. Marti rolls in at 5 of 20 but Deonna stomps away! The ref counts, Deonna stops at 4, and Deonna wrenches. Deonna YANKS Marti’s arm, then wrenches again to YANK it!
Marti clutches the arm but Deonna reels her into a facelock. Marti fights the suplex, makes it a cradle, ONE!! Deonna runs up, Marti rolls her up, TWO! Marti spins and ROLLING ELBOWS! Deonna falls and the fans fire up! Deonna goes to a corner, Marti runs in, but Deonna dodges! Marti hits buckles, then Deonna blocks a boot to THROW Marti down! Deonna has the arm and the leg, then focuses on the arm to make a SACRIFICE! The fans are torn but Deonna feeds off it all. Deonna demands Marti to rise up, and as we hit four minutes, Deonna SOBATS, runs, and KNEE LIFTS into the RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!
Deonna rolls through, FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! Marti endures, reaches out, but Deonna grabs that arm, too! VENIS DE MILO!! Marti verbally quits and Deonna wins!
Winner: Deonna Purrazzo, by submission
Neither woman used a ropebreak in this match, and Deonna didn’t need to! At just four minutes and 24 seconds, Deonna finishes this. Will she not only become ROH Women’s Pure Champion, but do it in record time?
The Frat House speaks.
Jacked Jameson says, “Yeah, Johnny Hungy? Johnny Starving For Attention! You wanna come back and try and get one up on The Frat House? I don’t think so, pal! And Reynolds, you talking about I got a tiny package? I got a small package, in the ring, yeah! If you’re talking about this package, ask your girl!” Preston Vance says yes, good package. But Dark Order, Vance has hated them from the beginning. They call him a traitor when he just did something for himself for once. He hates Uno, he hates Reynolds, but the one he hates the most is Silver. Starving for attention, always has been, same guy since day one!
Dark Order wants a trios match? They’ll take you up on that. But remember the one rule: Win or lose, they BOOZE~! The Frat House marches off, cheering themselves on. But will they be humbled when Uno, Silver & Reynolds finally get a back on track?
Mark Sterling reviews footage with The Premier Athletes.
Smart Mark looks back at a loss The Premier Athletes suffered against the Sons of Texas, and he points out specifically when Dustin Rhodes grabbed him, TOSSED him, and that is assault on a ringside consultant. That is why Sterling has the cameras here. He wants to inform Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari that the State of Michigan sports authority agreed with him, that match was tainted and therefore expunged from their records, along with a few others. But then, that means they’re undefeated? Yes! Their record is spotless now! Daivari says he isn’t sure about them, but he was pretty confident he heard way less “Athletes Suck” chants than usual. Almost 50-50 out there.
Nese says Shop AEW has not seen a single soul buying the Athletes Suck shirt. Great news! And bad news for the rest of ROH. There is nothing scarier than a couple of athletes with momentum. They will take this momentum and go straight to the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Y’know why? Because Athletes RULE! Well, one thing these three haven’t lost is their confidence. But will legal loopholes and changing grades really turn them into champions?
8 Man Tag: The Infantry & Grizzled Young Veterans VS The Kingdom & Top Flight!
What interesting combinations on both sides. Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are just as tough as Zack Gibson & James Drake but with far more energy and bravado, but then Matt Taven & Mike Bennett used to make Darius & Dante Martin go through hell! Which side can put aside their differences better and come out the victors?
Well it would seem STP & GYV can as they all attack The Kingdom & Top Flight! The fans boo and the bell rings, but GYV beat down Top Flight while Infantry beat down Kingdom, another grudge coming back to haunt Taven & Bennett! The ref reprimands but the tides turn a bit. Taven brawls with Bravo on the outside, Bennett fires hands on Dean, and the Martin brothers throw hands back on GYV! Taven SMACKS Bravo off the apron, Darius UPPERCUTS James Drake, and the teams finally sort out a bit. Bravo runs back in but Taven LARIATS Bravo and himself up and out! Darius whips Drake to a corner, then runs up, but into an ELBOW!
Drake runs up, Darius arm-drags and DROPKICKS! Darius brings Drake around, Dante tags in, and Top Flight coordinates. Darius takes a swing but Drake dodges, only for Dante to send him into Darius’ UPPERCUT! Dante adds a JUMP KNEE and Darius LARIATS! Cover, ONE, but Dante basement DROPKICKS! Dante keeps Drake from the corner to tag Taven. They mug Drake, then Taven ROCKS him. Taven whips, Drake reverses but Taven cartwheels! Taven dodges, springboard and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Taven then bypasses and DROPKICKS! The fans fire up because “IIII’M Matt Taven!” Bennett says the fans actually like Taven now.
Taven brings Drake up and into a headlock, but Drake pulls hair! Drake tags Gibson while he powers out, then he drops down for Gibson to trip Taven! Gibson drags Taven out, but Taven DECKS him! But then Drake DIVES onto Taven! The fans fire up and Infantry talks some trash. Gibson lifts Taven to SNAKE EYES off railing! Gibson puts Taven on the apron, and cravats for the neck wrench, and then a SLAM ono the apron! Taven sputters, Gibson stays between him and the corner, but the fans rally up. Taven fights the underhooks to fire body shots. Gibson keeps Taven back with a wristlock, and he tags in Drake!
Drake runs up, GYV double whip, and then they trap Taven in the corner. Drake ELBOWS Taven, Gibson UPPERCUTS, and then feed to the WHEEL KICK! Cover, TWO! Drake argues, but then he ROCKS Taven! Tag to Bravo and he RAMS into Taven! The Infantry mugs Taven, the ref counts and Bravo stops. Tag to Dean, and the Infantry double wrench to DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Dean throws off his shirt and drags Taven up. Dean scoops to put Taven in the Tree of Woe. Tag to Bravo and the Infantry stomp mudholes in! The fans boo, the ref counts, Gibson talks trash, but Infantry stops at 4.
The Infantry taunt Bennett & Top Flight before they DOBULE DROPKICK Taven outta the Tree! Cover, TWO! Bravo JABS, JABS, and then he BLASTS Top Flight! Bravo says they got nothing! But Taven scoops! Bravo slips free, but Taven HEEL KICKS! Both men crawl, hot tags to Darius and Dean! Darius rallies on Dean and GYV! Uppercut after uppercut then a whip! Dean reverses, but jumps into an atomic drop! Then the BULLDOG HOTSHOT! SUPERKICK for Gibson! GAMANGIRI for Dean! Then a step-in COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, Gibson breaks it! Dante whips Gibson but Gibson reverses. Dante goes out, up, around, and Gibson just keeps missing!
Dante GAMANGIRIS, then springboards to CROSSBODY! Bravo KNEES Dante, whips, but Darius is there to boost Dante up and over! Then Dante helps Darius hit the TORNADO DDT on Bravo! The fans fire up and Mike asks to be tagged in. Darius tags Mike and the fans fire up! Bennett CHOPS away on Dean! Gibson runs up, Bennett puts him in the corner and CHOPS away on them both Bravo runs up, Bennett puts him in the corner and CHOPS away on all three! The fans fire up as Drake runs up, but then Bennett spots him first! “You want some?!” Drake reconsiders but Bennett puts him in the corner, to CHOP away on all four!
The fans are fired up and Bennett brings Drake out to tag Taven. Gibson saves Drake, throat chops Mike, then clinches Taven. Drake ENZIGIRIS Taven! Dante DOUBLE CANNONBALLS GYV! Dean kicks Dante low, reels him in, and crosses the arms, DEPTH CHARGE! But Darius BOOTS Dean, then WALL WALK KICKS! Bravo runs up, kicks low, and runs to SCISSOR KICK! Bennett is back, fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Taven adds JUST THE TIP of the knee! Bennett says time to kill ’em! But Gibson Y ANKS Bennett out! Taven gives Drake a KICK O’ THE KING! Bennett and Gibson brawl that way, Taven hits FLIGHT OF THE CONQUEROR on GYV!
Dante SPLASHES Dean, whips, but Dean reverses. Bravo runs to CARLIE CROSSOVER! Feed to Dean’s FLYING LARIAT! Infantry gets Dante up and sends him to BOOT CAMP!! Cover, DARIUS BREAKS IT! The fans fire up as this keeps going! GYV and Kingdom brawl, Bravo storms up but Darius TOSSES him out onto GYV and Kingdom! Darius reels Dean in and suplexes, but Dean slips free! Dean shoves Darius, Darius slides but Dean hurdles over. Dean ROCKS Darius, Darius CHOPS Dean, Dean JUMP KNEES back! Dean fires up, but Darius blocks a kick and makes it a FISHERMAN BUSTER!
The fans fire up and Dante is up top! MAMBA SPLASH!! Cover, Top Flight & Kingdom win!
Winners: The Kingdom & Top Flight, by pinfall
Former rivals made great allies here and they came out on top! But with everyone wanting the ROH World Tag Team Championships, will The Kingdom and Top Flight have to battle it out like the old days? Or can they stay friendly in the race to the top?
My Thoughts:
A very good episode but I’m surprised this was only 37 minutes long. Even then, there were pretty obvious squash matches, like Archer beating Solo and Miyu beating Havok. Well, so was Shane & Lee winning, but opening matches aren’t skippable. Ok and Deonna was of course winning her Pure Rules match. Why didn’t TK just get the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament going by now so that the title match could be at Supercard? Good to hear about Global Wars: Mexico, though.
The Premier Athletes have a good promo, but they’re just getting sadder as a team if they have to keep “expunging” losses from their record as if that makes them winners. Frat House has a good promo to set up the Six Man Tag, and if ROH wasn’t such an afterthought, I’d love if they explored what Preston Vance said. He claims he never liked Dark Order, hates them all now, but what if leaving Dark Order, joining LFI, leaving LFI, and now forming the Frat House is all Vance grieving Mr. Brodie? He doesn’t have to rejoin Dark Order, he just has to come to terms with why he’s actually being so awful to his old friends and maybe turn Frat House around into Faces.
And very good 8 Man Tag main event, everybody looking good even though it was a rather short match. Good win for the Faces to keep Top Flight afloat and to get The Kingdom, or in this case #OGK, back on track. I would think Dustin & Sammy make quick work of the Premier Athletes, but maybe if we can get three or four teams in one match, that’d be a way to protect Dustin & Sammy while crowning new champions.
My Score: 8.7/10
