PLAY BY PLAY
Lucha thrives on 205 Live!
Humberto Carrillo had an incredibly tough match against Oney Lorcan to name a new contender to the Cruiserweight Championship, and he won! But things would not be that easy for Carrillo nor the Cruiserweight Champion, Drew Gulak. Lince Dorado told Carrillo that if they were in each other’s shoes, Lince would be the one getting a shot at Gulak. So Carrillo and the Golden Lynx went 1v1 in another instant classic, and despite everything Carrillo threw at him, Lince would survive and WIN! Now there are TWO contenders for Gulak to face. And as such, Gulak would strike back! But so would Tony Nese! The Premier Athlete and Philly Stretcher would work together again as they dismantled and devastated Dorado and Carrillo. Tonight, these four men face off 2v2! Will lucha libre overcome and give both men major momentum going into Clash of Champions? Or will Nese help Gulak bring the high-flyers down to the ground?
There’s a new face on 205 Live commentary!
Nigel McGuinness is sticking to the UK as NXT UK is gaining momentum, so welcome the former NFL Offensive Tackle, trainee of the one and only Booker T, and NXT superstar, Dio Maddin! Dio cut weight and trained hard these last few years to make it to 205 Live! He didn’t cut weight, but he’s still here! But that aside, he’s excited to call the fastest moving action in the WWE!
THE Brian Kendrick & Akira Tozawa VS Jack Gallagher & ???
Knowing the Extraordinary Gentleman could not compete last week to settle things, the Man with a Plan put forth a challenge: find a partner and meet both Kendrick and the Stamina Monster in the ring! The time has come, who has Gallagher recruited to this unconventional grudge match?
Gallagher has a mic as he addresses “Mr. Kendrick.” ‘Twas all a dream, used to read Word Up Magazine, but that’s not what they’re here for. Gallagher must first apologize for being away due to injury, he was not ducking Kendrick. But he also thanks Kendrick for the time to find a tag partner. This decision will be one Kendrick lives to regret. Because Gallagher got KUSHIDA! The Super Junior joins Gallagher! Will this combination of great grapplers be aces in the Garden?
The teams sort out and fans are fired up for Kushida as he starts against Kendrick. They circle and Kendrick keeps out of Kushida’s reach. Then they tie up, and Kendrick wrenches Kushida to a wristlock. Kushida endures and rolls through to spin and reverse the wristlock onto Kendrick. Kendrick endures and gets to his feet. Kendrick gets Kushida in a facelock and brings him down. But Kushida spins right out to his own facelock. Kendrick rolls but Kushida keeps on him. Kushida floats all over Kendrick and fans cheer as he lets Kendrick up. Kendrick keeps his cool but runs into a drop toehold! He stays up but Kushida has the wrist again. Kendrick reverses the wristlock to power Kushida to a corner. Kendrick whips but Kushida reverses. Kendrick goes up and over and things speed up, Kendrick hurdles only for Kushida to arm-drag him into an armbar!
Kendrick scrambles as Kushida pulls, and gets the ropebreak! Kushida lets up but goes after Kendrick again. Tag to Gallagher, and Gallagher wrenches the wristlock onto Kendrick. Kendrick endures as Gallagher goes after the free arm and pulls! Gallagher makes Kendrick into a recliner for the cover, ONE! Tag to Tozawa, and Tozawa circles with Gallagher now. Fans echo “AH! AH!” as Tozawa and Gallagher tie up. Gallagher headlocks but Tozawa drops down to get a headlock of his own. Gallagher handstands and cartwheels to reverse to a facelock. Tozawa powers out but Gallagher runs him over. Things speed up, Gallagher sunset flips but Tozawa rolls through, only for Gallagher to counter the Penalty Kick to a schoolboy! ONE and Tozawa inside cradles, TWO! Gallagher misses the sweep and Tozawa headlocks. Gallagher rolls Tozawa off and things speed up again, Kendrick tags in!
Tozawa dodges and slides, Gallagher gets caught by Kendrick and sent into a post! Tozawa pats Gallagher on the head as he comes around the corner. Kendrick grins as he goes out to fetch Gallagher. Kendrick puts Gallagher in and covers, TWO! Kendrick keeps on Gallagher and tags in Tozawa. They whip Gallagher and double hip toss for elbow drop to senton! Cover, TWO!

Gallagher holds Tozawa for Kushida to kick out the arm! Kendrick rocks Gallagher then backslides Kushida, TWO! CAPTAIN’S HOOK!
Kushida endures Kendrick’s modified chinlock, and fans rally up as he powers his way to the corner. They roll around, to a roll up, TWO! Kushida gets to his feet and dumps Kendrick out! Kushida heads for Gallagher but Kendrick trips Gallagher off the apron! Kendrick then whips Gallagher into barriers! Tozawa CANNONBALLS outta nowhere! Tozawa goes back in as Kendrick forearms Kushida. Tozawa adds his own, then feeds Kushida to Kendrick. Tozawa runs out of the corner but Kushida turns Kendrick into the path of the enziguri! Kushida gives Tozawa a FAST BALL! Then Kushida kicks out Kendrick’s arm, tornado takedown to the Sakuraba Lock! Kendrick taps, Kushida and Gallagher win!
Winners: Kushida & Jack Gallagher, Kushida by submission
A massive debut in Madison Square Garden makes for a major victory! Will the Time Splitter continue to team with the Gentleman? Will he head for the top of the Cruiserweight Division while still being in NXT? Only time will tell.
The Singh Brothers speak.
“Our time inside the Bollywood Actor studio has been short, but it has been so important for our spiritual healing.” The Singh Study Sessions have helped correct the dire straits their careers were in. But the billions and billions of Singh Brother Supporters in India expect more from them. The Bollywood Boys feel they’ve let their fans down. The fans deserve more. Which is why seeing Kendrick and Tozawa get what they deserve makes them ask, “What about us?” They deserve worldwide adoration, a star on the Bollywood Walk of Fame and more Boscars. The sessions have proven it can be done. So when 205 Live returns to Madison Square Garden, it will star the Singh Brothers.
Backstage interview with Mike Kanellis.
Last week, Mike beat former Cruiserweight Champion, Tony Nese. But that seemed to set something off inside the Premier Athlete. But Nese’s issues don’t matter to Mike, but if everyone wants to blame Mike for Nese hurting Oney Lorcan, that’s fine. Nese is in the main event but Mike isn’t. Mike beat former Cruiserweight Champions like Nese and Kendrick, but he’s gotten nothing. Mike is sick of getting nothing for his hard work! Mike will light himself on fire to prove himself to his wife, Maria. But Maria walks in and says she is “impressed” with the father of her children for taking advantage of Nese. It was pathetic. But Mike won! That was not a win. Mike did everything for everyone else but nothing for himself or the Kanellis family. Once Mike realizes his moral victories mean nothing, then maybe Maria doesn’t need to be here to hold his hand. Maria storms off and Mike is beside himself with frustration. What will it take for Mike to be the man his wife wants him to be?
Humberto Carrillo & Lince Dorado VS Drew Gulak & Tony Nese!
With both Ultimo Ninja and the Golden Lynx fighting for the Cruiserweight Championship, will they be able to stick together long enough to defeat the reunited and devious duo?
Well it’ll be hard to tell when Nese and Gulak attack them on the way out! Nese stomps Lince while Gulak mugs Carrillo inside his own cape! But Carrillo and Lince fight back, and the brawl goes around ringside. But Daivari appears?! He goes after Lince for being snubbed as a teammate! Nese and Daivari beat down Dorado while Gulak has Carrillo in the ring. Everyone ends up in the ring and it’s 3v2. But then Lucha House Party’s Gran Metalik appears! The King of the Rope springboards to dropkick Daivari and Nese out! Then he springboard back elbows to hit Gulak! The luchadors stand together, and Carrillo says they want a SIX MAN TAG now! Gulak accepts the challenge! The Persian Lion and Metalik join the fight!

Winners: Carrillo & Lucha House Party, Lince Dorado pinning
The Golden Lynx is the one to pin the Cruiserweight Champion! Will it be just like that when it’s just a Triple Threat? Will Carrillo find a way to change things? Or will Gulak remain the Law of 205 Live?
My Thoughts:
A pretty great go-home from 205 Live, even with some random fan showing off their baby and getting more attention than anything else tonight. That type of fan, much like the “beach ball mania” fans are the kind I can’t stand. So what if the main event wasn’t as end-to-end exciting as you wanted it to be? Don’t be an idiot that hijacks the spotlight. But that is a subject for an entirely different article.
What a great move for it to be KUSHIDA as Gallagher’s surprise partner! Well, also a worrying one. It was great for Kushida to have his moment in Madison Square Garden winning alongside Gallagher against an established duo like Tozawa and Kendrick. However, does this mean he doesn’t get to be on NXT and competing for titles? Or is he going to be the Time Splitter in that he’ll be on both shows? The Singh Brothers keep things going with Kendrick and Tozawa through their promo, so there’s no Heel/Face turn for anyone in this situation. And speaking of debuts on 205 Live, I’m surprised we’re getting Dio Maddin, formerly known as Brennan Williams, is going right to commentary. We haven’t even seen him on NXT yet! Is there something WWE hasn’t publicly announced that is keeping Dio from competing in the ring? Or is this a segue into getting him in the ring by at least letting us see his personality and hear his mic skills?
Mike and Maria had a good backstage promo. Clearly Maria isn’t going to give Mike a break until he’s a contender. Then the main event was pretty great, but again an admitted grind in the middle as the Heels are just dominating. The baby getting attention aside, the fans did at least notice the good moments, especially the ending. It would be pretty hard to miss the attempted triple moonsault and then triple superkicks. It makes a lot of sense for the Faces to win after that attack that escalated this into a Six Man Tag, and Lince being the one to get the pin on Gulak, it feels like he’s crossed himself off in the math. With the Cruiserweight title more than likely still part of the kickoff show, Gulak is likely to retain. But it would be a great move if Carrillo won to start us in a new phase towards Hell in a Cell and Survivor Series. Because in a Triple Threat, Lince could end up the one taking the pin so that Carrillo and Gulak stay strong, regardless of who wins.
My Score: 8.5/10

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!

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
