PLAY BY PLAY
Tyler Breeze VS Jaxson Ryker w/ The Forgotten Sons!
Prince Pretty was called out for being the “old guard” of NXT, but he prefers OG to stand for “original gorgeous.” But either way, Breeze looks to show them that new doesn’t mean better. Will he succeed or fail to do so against the Gunner of the Forgotten?
The bell rings and Ryker glares a hole through Breeze while talking some trash. They tie up and Ryker shoves Breeze back. Fans troll Ryker with “Stay Forgotten!” Breeze comes back and ties up again but Ryker pushes him back, then tosses him across the way! Breeze gets to the corner and circles with Ryker again. Breeze gets the waistlock then shifts to a headlock, but Ryker powers out! Ryker kicks low then grabs Breeze by his hair. Breeze fires off with fast hands and a mudhole stomp! Breeze backs off to come back with forearms, but then runs into Ryker’s arms for an urenage! Ryker drops ax handles over and over, then drags Breeze up to put in the corner. Ryker stomps and punches Breeze down but the ref backs him off. Ryker just comes back to knee Breeze into buckles! He hauls Breeze up for a backbreaker! Cover, TWO!
Breeze crawls but Ryker is right on him with a rough chinlock. Ryker thrashes Breeze about but fans rally up. Breeze fights up and out, but Ryker clubs him down. Ryker gives Breeze another backbreaker! Ryker toys with Breeze, but Breeze knees back! Breeze enziguris Ryker, then mule kicks. But Ryker clamps on with a choke grip! Ryker lifts but Breeze wheelbarrows through to a victory roll! Breeze wins!!
Winner: Tyler Breeze, by pinfall
But Breeze doesn’t get to celebrate as Ryker clobbers him! The Forgotten Sons jump in to talk trash Breeze. Breeze fights back but that’s 3v1! The Forgotten Sons stomp a mudhole into Breeze in the corner, then feed him to Ryker. But to the rescue, it’s FANDANGO!! Fandango dumps Ryker out then drops a leg on Wesley Blake! He brawls with Cutler and tosses him out onto Ryker! Fandango stands tall with his best bud, and together they SUPERKICK Blake right out of the ring! Full Sail fires up as #Breezango hugs it out! Are they going to bring some fashionable justice to NXT?
Candice LeRae waits outside the arena.
The Evil Genius got away before Mrs. Wrestling could exact her full revenge, but she won’t let that chance slip past her this time. Will Candice be there to “greet” Io Shirai when she arrives?
NXT Breakout Tournament Semifinals: Cameron Grimes VS Bronson Reed!
Jordan Myles is all smiles as he waits for an opponent in Toronto. But will it be #CountryConfidence or #AussieStrongStyle that meets the real-life anime hero in the finals?
Both men want at each other already but the ref keeps the peace. The bell rings and “Aussie Aussie Aussie! OI OI OI!” begins. Reed and Grimes tie up and Reed powers Grimes to a corner. Reed lets up and Grimes comes back to tie up again. Reed gets Grimes in a waistlock and tosses him! #Auszilla dares “Grimey” to get up, and Grimes goes at him with clubbing forearms! Grimes headlocks but Reed powers out to run Grimes over with a shoulder! Cover, ONE, but Reed is on Grimes with a chinlock. Reed thrashes Grimes around but Grimes works his way up to his feet. Grimes stomps Reed’s feet then clubs away on his back. Grimes has the headlock and grinds, but Reed powers out with a back suplex. Grimes lands on his feet, and clubs Reed back. He then runs, only for Reed to run him over with an elbow!
Reed drags Grimes up to headbutt and CHOP him in the corner. Reed puts Grimes in another corner and CHOPS more. He rams his shoulder in and then throws big clubbing hands from all sides! The ref backs Reed off and reprimands him, but Grimes gets to the apron. Grimes pie-faces Reed, but Reed just glares back. Reed chases Grimes but Grimes baits him into a basement dropkick! Grimes stomps but Reed gets up. Reed blocks the whip with size and strength to reverse it. But Reed misses in the corner, and Grimes runs to LARIAT Reed down! Cover, TWO! Grimes keeps on Reed with raking fingers in the face. Grimes digs an elbow into Reed’s shoulder while holding an arm. Fans rally up and Reed powers up to throw forearms back. But Grimes dropkicks Reed back! Reed only staggers, but Grimes drags him down into an armlock and chinbar.
Grimes fish hooks a bit, but Reed fights his way up. He throws Grimes off and scoops but Grimes slips out to throw more forearms. Grimes runs but into a powerslam! Both men are down but slowly standing. Reed DECKS Grimes and whips him to a corner. Reed runs in for a big splash! Then Samoan Drop! And a big Samoan senton! Cover, ROPEBREAK! Grimes survives and Reed is shocked. Reeds drags Grimes but Grimes holds the ropes. The ref counts and Reed lets go, only for Grimes to get him with a rope slingshot! Then a Superman forearm! Reed gives a forearm back. Grimes ROUNDHOUSES Reed! But Reed still forearms through! Straps down, Reed rebounds Grimes off the ropes, but Grimes leaps for double stomps!! Cover, Grimes wins!!
Winner: Cameron Grimes, by pinfall; advances to the finals
If Bronson Reed was #Auszilla, then Cameron Grimes just became #CountryKingKong! Will Grimes be able to take this momentum all the way to a tournament win? Or will Jordan Myles use his incredible speed and agility to take that golden opportunity for himself?
NXT Media catches up to Matt Riddle.
The Original Bro’s response to Killian Dain returning to NXT by brutalizing him is that Dain should fight Riddle face to face so he can return the favor. This showdown of Bro and Beast will happen next week!!
Shayna Baszler is here!
The NXT Women’s Champion returns, but is clearly without her Horsewomen. She grabs a mic right away to address what’s been happening. “Mia Yim. You went over there [to commentary] and delivered a message.” Message received. Mia attacks Marina and Jessamyn from behind in turn. This is not the street, they are professional fighters! But that’s exactly why Mia won’t even need to board the plane to Toronto to lose to Shayna. Because NXT is NOT the streets, it is NOT the back alley, this is THE biggest stage of Mia’s career. “And under those lights in front of tens of thousands of fans,” Shayna will put Mia to sleep. “Because street rats don’t survive very long in my world.” The HBIC has had enough of Shayna’s trash talk, and she appears on stage!
Mia asks Shayna if she’s scared. Where are her friends at? What happened to them? Mia ain’t seen nothin’. But as Mia hops in the ring, she tells Shayna has been playing a game. Game recognizes game, but Shayna looks real unfamiliar right now. Mia ain’t got nothing to lose and everything to gain! So this street rat is bringing a fight Shayna can’t train for! Full Sail is behind Mia as she dares Shayna to do something. Shayna says Mia isn’t special. She’s under the lights, and everyone will see that Mia is nothing but trash. Shayna holds the belt up high, but Mia ain’t scared. Will Shayna still make Mia #TapNapOrSnap? Or is Mia going to finally be the one to dethrone the Queen of Spades?
William Regal talks to Candice LeRae.
He can see what she’s up to, but she isn’t going to find what she wants. Regal told Shirai to stay home tonight. Well then if Candice can’t get Shirai tonight, she wants her at TakeOver. Regal doesn’t blame Candice. Then it will be Candice VS Shirai. Now please, Candice, go home, too. Candice accepts, only having to wait a month for what she wants. But will something go down between her and the Evil Genius somewhere along the way?
Next week, NXT will have a TakeOver: Toronto contract signing!
The Street Profits want to continually prove they’re worthy of the NXT Tag Team Championships, and have already taken care of The Forgotten Sons and the One Two Combo of Lorcan & Burch. But now, as the Undisputed Era looks to fulfill their own prophecy, Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish get their turn! Will Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins get out of this contract signing in one piece? Or will reDRagon lay a trap for the champs?
Pete Dunne VS Roderick Strong!
Speaking of the Undisputed Era, this animosity dates back to over a year ago, in the 2018 Dusty Rhodes Classic that led to TakeOver: New Orleans! Just as the Bruiserweight and Savior of the Backbreaker were poised to be NXT Tag Team Champions together, Roderick Strong would betray Pete Dunne to join the Undisputed Era! And now, this rivalry comes back around just as the Undisputed Era is poised to be #DrapedInGold! Will the former WWE United Kingdom Champion play a part in denying Strong the NXT North American Championship? Or will Strong only grow stronger on the way to Toronto?
The bell rings and NXT is on the Bruiserweight’s side. Dunne and Strong circle and tie up. They go around the ring and Strong puts Dunne in a corner. Dunne turns it around but Strong fights out to a waistlock. Strong rolls Dunne but Dunne sprawls, only for Strong to get away. Fans cheer as the two stare down. Strong then grabs a leg and goes for a cover but Dunne blocks. Strong headlocks instead while trapping an arm. Dunne works on his escape and rolls Strong over! ONE, and Strong still has the headlock. Dunne pops out and has a leg but Strong kicks free with the other. Fans duel now as Strong and Dunne stare down again. Dunne and Strong approach but Strong is wary of the fingers Dunne once snapped. Strong gets a facelock but Dunne pries free and gets those fingers!
Dunne pulls the arm around, tucks it in, and hops on for an Octopus! Strong hobbles over and gets the ropebreak. Dunne lets off, but Strong boots and enziguris back! Strong rains down rights to beat Dunne down! Strong drags Dunne up and into a corner for a CHOP! Dunne CHOPS back and we have a CHOP fight! Strong knocks Dunne down again and stomps away! The ref backs Strong off and Strong shakes out the bad hand. Strong drags Dunne back up but Dunne grabs at a leg. Strong clubs and knees Dunne back, then drags him up. Fans rally and Dunne throws hands. Strong headlocks but Dunne powers out. Things speed up and Dunne hurdles then ducks to LARIAT Strong down! Strong staggers to a corner but Dunne is on him and that bad hand!
Dunne hammerlocks and puts Strong on the mat, to STOMP the arm! Strong reels back in pain but Dunne is on his bad arm again. Dunne bends and twists the fingers all around and Strong screams in pain. Dunne wants to do it again! But Strong resists, so Dunne Penalty Kicks the arm instead! Dunne whips Strong corner to corner but Strong manages a reversal. Dunne goes up but Strong clubs him before he can go over! Strong then drags Dunne off the top in a torture rack, for the backbreaker drop! Strong doesn’t cover from pain in his arm, but fans rally up as he stomps Dunne more. Dunne crawls but Strong stays on him by grabbing his hair. Strong scoops Dunne for a backbreaker! Strong covers, a leg in Dunne’s face, TWO!
Strong grinds Dunne into the mat, then pulls him against the bottom rope by his hair! The ref counts and Strong lets up at 4. Strong stomps Dunne more then kicks him while he’s down. Strong stomps more, then eggs Dunne on! “Who do you think you are?!” Strong stomps more but the fans rally up for Dunne. Dunne stands to kick away on the leg! Dunne runs but into a dropkick! But Strong clutches that beat-up leg now. Strong still covers, TWO! Strong drags Dunne back up as fans rally up. He CHOPS Dunne in the corner, then throws a forearm. Dunne fires back but Strong ROCKS Dunne with a right! Strong backs off to catch his breath, then brings Dunne up to the top rope. Strong CHOPS Dunne again and again, then climbs up to join Dunne. He brings Dunne up but Dunne gets the bad hand!
Dunne gourd busters Strong down! Then adjusts, the missile dropkick the bad leg! Fans fire up while both men are down. Fans rally up as Strong goes to the far corner. Strong comes back but gets decked by the forearm! And tripped up by that kick! Dunne whips but Strong reverses, but this time Dunne goes up and over! To hit an enziguri! Dunne has Strong for the X-PLEX! And Penalty Kick! Cover, TWO!! Strong gets out of that matchbook stack, and Dunne is shocked. Fans rally again as both men stir. Dunne stands in the corner and runs out at Strong to stomp and buzzsaw! Dunne waistlocks but Strong standing switches. Strong has the half nelson but Dunne grabs that arm, only for Strong to make it a German Suplex! But Dunne lands on his feet, to buzzsaw Strong even harder!
Dunne hauls Strong up, sit-out powerbomb! Cover, TWO!! Strong survives again and Dunne is too tired to be frustrated. Fans still cheer and rally as Dunne and Strong crawl. Strong goes out of the ring to recover, but Dunne runs to the corner. Dunne hops up but Strong anchors his feet! Dunne grabs Strong’s nose, but Strong yanks Dunne off for an apron backbreaker! The referee checks on Dunne, and somehow Dunne is okay to continue, despite gasping for air. Strong puts Dunne in to cover, TWO!! Strong grows frustrated but this is why Dunne had that WWE UK Championship for so long. Strong drags Dunne back up, and knees low. He fires off forearms from all sides, then runs into the corner for a big knee! And another backbreaker, to the side slam! Cover, TWO!
Dunne still lives and Strong is at wit’s end. But Full Sail still cheers as Strong clutches his bad arm. Strong hobbles up and goes to Dunne at the ropes. Strong runs to smash, smash and- Dunne ducks to forearm back! Strong enziguris, but Dnnne gives it back! Pump handle but Strong slips out to hit an Olympic Slam! He holds on, for another lift, but Dunne reverses to a DDT! Both men are down again and fans are loving “NXT! NXT!” for this main event! Strong crawls over to Dunne and drags him up again. Strong forearms and CHOPS, and repeat! He fires off in the corner but Dunne gives it all back! Dunne decks Strong then stomps away! The Bruiserweight fires up and the fans fire up with him as he climbs. But Strong stops Dunne with a forearm and CHOP!
Dunne kicks Strong right in the face over and over! Strong sits down and Dunne stands up, only for Strong to kick his legs out. Strong positions Dunne and climbs up to join him. Strong rains down rights then wants the Olympic again, but Dunne changes that to a sunset flip, but the bomb falls out the bottom! Dunne keeps going, pump handle but Strong slips out, STRONG knee! Strong has Dunne in underhooks, Tiger Driver! Cover, TWO!! Into the STRONG HOLD! Dunne endures his back being twisted and bent! But he slips out to get the bad hand again! Dunne kicks away on Strong’s face to then drag him into a Triangle Hold! Dunne even tortures the good hand! Dunne sits up, SNAP the fingers!! Strong taps out, Dunne wins!!
Winner: Pete Dunne, by submission
An incredible match, and this is just a sampler for Toronto! But while the Bruiserweight celebrates, Dream sneaks up behind Dunne! Dunne turns around just in time to see Dream try a belt shot. Strong shouts at Dream that the belt will be his after Toronto! Dream doesn’t care, he just poses. But Dunne grabs a hand to SNAP the fingers! BITTER END for Dream! Will the Bruiserweight break both Strong and Velveteen Dream to become the first man to have had the WWE UK and NXT North American Championship in his career?
My Thoughts:
What an incredible episode of NXT! Breeze VS Ryker was good, and it totally works that Breeze wins with the victory roll so that this rivalry will continue. Especially with the amazing surprise of FANDANGO! Breezango is back and this is going to be a lot of fun! I wonder if anyone joins them so that they can have a Six Man Tag blow-off with Forgotten Sons. The Breakout Tournament semifinals have been odd, with how quickly the matches end. I didn’t expect Myles to beat Garza with just a German Suplex bridge, and it was quite the surprise for the double stomp counter to Reed’s finisher to win. But at the same time, I felt Myles VS Grimes was going to be the finals, and now it is! Their TakeOver match is going to be great, and could go either way.
Candice VS Shirai for TakeOver is also going to be great, and could go either way. With a month left, there has to be at least one more brawl between them to build this. Riddle VS Dain next week is going to be great, and it might lead to another match later, at or after TakeOver. Shayna and Mia had a great segment, and it even works for Shayna’s Heel character to not see the hypocrisy. I can’t be sure who wins this, but it would be big for Mia to be the one to stop Shayna. And then maybe Shayna and the Horsewomen move on to main roster to freshen things up for at least Becky Lynch on Raw, as I’m confident Becky will still be champion even after SummerSlam. And it is rare we get a tag team contract signing, so getting one between the charismatic Street Profits and reDRagon will be great, especially if a brawl breaks out.
Tonight’s main event was title worthy in itself! Dunne and Strong really are strong superstars, and adding Dream to the mix for their Triple Threat will only make for an instant classic. Again, Toronto will be a make-or-break for the Undisputed Era’s prophecy, but with the hype and the Three Stages of Hell for THE NXT Championship match, I wonder if Strong takes advantage to take that title for Cole to be the one to fail. No offense to Street Profits, but I feel like they will lose for the sake of keeping the #DrapedInGold prophecy on everyone’s minds. Then things could go either way. Strong could fail and Cole gets an ego only to lose, or Strong wins and for just that moment, the Undisputed Era is golden, for Cole to still lose. At the same time, I really want WarGames III to be #WinnersTakeAll so maybe it’s a sweep in Toronto.
My Score: 8.7/10

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:

The teams sort out and Lee starts against Gangone. The bell rings and Lee LEG LARIATS Gangone!

Pure Rules Match: Deonna Purrazzo VS Marti Belle!
While the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament still needs a full bracket, the Virtuosa is going to keep herself sharp for when she needs to strike. But will there be another masterpiece put together here tonight? Or will Marti prove she herself deserves a chance at making history?
The Code of Honor is upheld and the bell rings. We have 15 minutes as the two circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and then Deonna kicks an arm to wrangle Marti with the top wristlock. Marti rises up, rolls, and wrenches to wristlock. Deonna wrenches and headlocks to hit the takeover. Marti endures, fights up, powers out, but Deonna RUNS her over! Deonna soaks up the cheers and jeers, runs, then steps over Marti’s dropdown to “kick dirt” at her. Deonna eggs Marti on and the two reset. They tie up, Marti waistlocks but Deonna switches. Marti switches, lifts, but Deonna fights. Deonna ELBOWS free, then goes after Marti in the corner.
Deonna whips corner to corner, runs up, but Marti slips outside. Deonna ROCKS Marti first, soaks up more cheers and jeers, then runs, only for Marti to dodge the dropkick! Marti fires forearms, whips, but Deonna reverses and throat chops! Deonna sends Marti into steel steps! The fans are torn but Deonna wants the ring count. Deonna says it is just too easy, and Marti is rising up as the count starts. Deonna eggs Marti on, the fans rally, and Marti huffs ‘n’ puffs. Marti rolls in at 5 of 20 but Deonna stomps away! The ref counts, Deonna stops at 4, and Deonna wrenches. Deonna YANKS Marti’s arm, then wrenches again to YANK it!
Marti clutches the arm but Deonna reels her into a facelock. Marti fights the suplex, makes it a cradle, ONE!! Deonna runs up, Marti rolls her up, TWO! Marti spins and ROLLING ELBOWS! Deonna falls and the fans fire up! Deonna goes to a corner, Marti runs in, but Deonna dodges! Marti hits buckles, then Deonna blocks a boot to THROW Marti down! Deonna has the arm and the leg, then focuses on the arm to make a SACRIFICE! The fans are torn but Deonna feeds off it all. Deonna demands Marti to rise up, and as we hit four minutes, Deonna SOBATS, runs, and KNEE LIFTS into the RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!
Deonna rolls through, FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! Marti endures, reaches out, but Deonna grabs that arm, too! VENIS DE MILO!! Marti verbally quits and Deonna wins!
Winner: Deonna Purrazzo, by submission
Neither woman used a ropebreak in this match, and Deonna didn’t need to! At just four minutes and 24 seconds, Deonna finishes this. Will she not only become ROH Women’s Pure Champion, but do it in record time?
The Frat House speaks.
Jacked Jameson says, “Yeah, Johnny Hungy? Johnny Starving For Attention! You wanna come back and try and get one up on The Frat House? I don’t think so, pal! And Reynolds, you talking about I got a tiny package? I got a small package, in the ring, yeah! If you’re talking about this package, ask your girl!” Preston Vance says yes, good package. But Dark Order, Vance has hated them from the beginning. They call him a traitor when he just did something for himself for once. He hates Uno, he hates Reynolds, but the one he hates the most is Silver. Starving for attention, always has been, same guy since day one!
Dark Order wants a trios match? They’ll take you up on that. But remember the one rule: Win or lose, they BOOZE~! The Frat House marches off, cheering themselves on. But will they be humbled when Uno, Silver & Reynolds finally get a back on track?
Mark Sterling reviews footage with The Premier Athletes.
Smart Mark looks back at a loss The Premier Athletes suffered against the Sons of Texas, and he points out specifically when Dustin Rhodes grabbed him, TOSSED him, and that is assault on a ringside consultant. That is why Sterling has the cameras here. He wants to inform Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari that the State of Michigan sports authority agreed with him, that match was tainted and therefore expunged from their records, along with a few others. But then, that means they’re undefeated? Yes! Their record is spotless now! Daivari says he isn’t sure about them, but he was pretty confident he heard way less “Athletes Suck” chants than usual. Almost 50-50 out there.
Nese says Shop AEW has not seen a single soul buying the Athletes Suck shirt. Great news! And bad news for the rest of ROH. There is nothing scarier than a couple of athletes with momentum. They will take this momentum and go straight to the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Y’know why? Because Athletes RULE! Well, one thing these three haven’t lost is their confidence. But will legal loopholes and changing grades really turn them into champions?

What interesting combinations on both sides. Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are just as tough as Zack Gibson & James Drake but with far more energy and bravado, but then Matt Taven & Mike Bennett used to make Darius & Dante Martin go through hell!

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!

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!

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!

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
