PLAY BY PLAY
205 Live comes to you from the Capitol Wrestling Center!!
That’s right! The brand that started with the Cruiserweight Classic CWC is now in this CWC! Nigel McGuiness and Vic Joseph are excited to start this new phase in the Cruiserweight Division with an homage to the foundation of WWE!
Ariya Daivari VS Jake Atlas!
Speaking of foundation, the Persian Lion, the 205 Live OG, wants to make sure we don’t forget he is a cornerstone of the purple and orange! But will Atlas look to begin the foundation of his own legacy at Daivari Dinero’s expense?
The bell rings and CWC crowd is fired up as these two circle. Daivari calls for a test of strength, but then he JABS Atlas! Atlas goes after him but is put in the corner for more JABS! Atlas fires up and dares Daivari to hit him again. Daivari swings, misses and Atlas DECKS Daivari! Atlas puts Daivari in a corner and fires off CHOP after CHOP! Atlas CLUBS Daivari, whips but Daivari reverses and sends Atlas out. But Atlas trips Daivari and drags him out for body shots! Atlas throws Daivari into barriers! And them more barriers! The crowd fires up as Atlas says, “Not anymore!” Atlas won’t be pushed around, he puts Daivari in the ring and gets a leg. He drags Daivari up, but Daivari throat chops! Daivari puts Atlas through ropes, turns him around, neckbreaker hotshot!
Atlas flounders and the ref reprimands but Daivari tells him he knows the rules. Daivari puts Atlas in a corner to return the CHOPS and clubbing forearms! Daivari tells the ref to back off as he whips Atlas corner to corner. Atlas goes up but Daivari catches him and kicks him out of the air! Cover, ONE, but Daivari clamps on with a chinlock. The crowd rallies as Atlas endures. Atlas fights up, fights back but Daivari throws him down by his hair! Daivari tells the crowd to shut up, then he drives elbows into a shoulder. Daivari clamps the chinlock back on and grinds Atlas down, but fans rally up again. Atlas fights up, fights back but Daivari throws haymakers. Atlas gives haymakers back and the two brawl!
Daivari hits, Atlas hits, but Atlas blocks the kick and ducks the enziguri. Daivari slides under and dropkicks through the legs! REVERSE DDT! Cover, TWO! Daivari grows frustrated but he glares at Atlas. Fans rally up, Daivari digs his knee into Atlas at the ropes! The ref counts, Daivari lets up at 4, but he comes back, only for Atlas to chop! But Daivari CHOPS Atlas down! Fans continue to rally as Daivari brings Atlas up, to CHOP him off his feet again! Atlas sits up, Daivari brings him around but Atlas throws body shots and clubbing forearms! Daivari knees low, bumps Atlas off buckles, then throws haymakers. Daivari whips corner to corner, runs in, but Atlas boots back! Atlas runs but Daivari ducks and reels Atlas in for a DDT! Cover, TWO! Atlas lives and Daivari grows frustrated again.

Daivari clubs, Atlas body shots, repeat! Atlas rises but Daivari kicks him down! Daivari whips Atlas to a corner, Atlas comes back to DECK Daivari! Both men are down but the crowd fires up again! Atlas rises but Daivari follows. Atlas throws haymaker after haymaker then whips, but Daivari reverses. Atlas cartwheels away from the back drop to whip Daivari for a back drop! Dropkick and uppercuts! GERMAN SUPLEX! Daivari flounders to a corner, Atlas runs in to BOOT! Atlas pushes Daivari down, covers, TWO! Daivari still lives and manages to get to an apron.
Atlas grits his teeth as he drags Daivari up. Daivari shoulders in but into a knee from Atlas! Atlas rolls Daivari up, TWO! Daivari survives and Atlas is growing frustrated, but the fans rally more. Atlas throws uppercuts then whips but Daivari reverses and ducks to JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Daivari heads to a corner while Atlas is down. Daivari climbs, LION SPLASH! Cover, TWO!?! Atlas survives and Daivari is beside himself! Daivari fires himself up and slashes the throat. Daivari drags Atlas up, hammerlocks but Atlas elbows free! Daivari SUPERKICKS! Daivari runs, Atlas dodges and BOOTS him back!
Daivari flops out of the ring, Atlas runs but sees Daivari move. Atlas somersaults and redirects to DIVE! Direct hit and Daivari hits barriers! Atlas puts Daivari in, but TONY NESE comes in, PREMIER KNEE outta nowhere!!
Winner: Jake Atlas, by disqualification
The Premier Athlete just screwed Atlas over to keep Atlas from actually beating Daivari. And Daivari is a vulture as he hammerlocks Atlas for the LION LARIAT! The 205 Live OG watch out for each other, but will they both have to watch out for payback?
The Singh Brothers are on their way back!
“Your favorite boys from BOLLY BOLLY BOLLY Bollywood” are the best actors and the best tag team in the Cruiserweight Division! And they’re going to bring back the lights, camera and Bollywood action soon enough!
THE Brian Kendrick VS Ashante “Thee” Adonis!
The Man with a Plan has been willing to teach the superstar formerly known as Tehuti Miles, and has already “taught” him twice. But will the third time be the charm for Adonis? Or does he still have much to learn?
The bell rings and Adonis circles with Kendrick. They tie up, go around, and Kendrick puts Adonis in the corner. The ref counts, Kendrick lets off but steps to keep Adonis on his guard. The two go again, tie up again, and fans rally as they go around. Adonis puts Kendrick in a corner now, lets up at the ref’s count, but keeps his dukes up. Adonis blocks the punch to give an uppercut! And then a forearm, and another uppercut! Adonis brings Kendrick out, headlocks and grinds, but Kendrick tries to get a leg. Adonis shakes that off, Kendrick lifts but Adonis cranks on the headlock. Kendrick tries again but Adonis uses elbows to keep him down. Adonis runs and deflects a boot to dropkick! Kendrick gets up and Adonis smooths his hair to style on him. Kendrick rushes in but into a back drop!
Adonis fires up as he clotheslines Kendrick and himself out of the ring! Fans fire up with Adonis as he stays on his feet and gets back in the ring. Adonis brags and poses a bit, but Kendrick gets his foot! Adonis kicks at Kendrick, goes out after but gets stuck in the apron skirt! Kendrick uses that to get Adonis and throw him into barriers! And then Russian leg sweep him into barriers! Kendrick leaves Adonis behind as the ring count climbs. Kendrick wants Adonis to show him he’s got fight, and Adonis gets in at 8! Kendrick goes after Adonis but Adonis blocks the kick! Adonis shoves Kendrick down then CLOBBERS him with a clothesline! Cover, TWO! Kendrick wants the Captain’s Hook but Adonis slips away, only for Kendrick to calf kick him down! Cover, TWO!
Kendrick keeps his cool as he goes after Adonis again. Kendrick underhooks Adonis for a butterfly suplex! Cover, TWO! Kendrick keeps on Adonis with an armlock and chinbar. Kendrick eggs Adonis on as fans rally up. Adonis endures, fights up, pries at the hold and gets to his feet. Adonis throws body shots but so does Kendrick. They brawl, Adonis gets the edge with big forearms! The ref counts, Adonis lets off to whip Kendrick corner to corner, but Kendrick reverses! Kendrick runs in, Adonis goes up and out and Kendrick hits buckles! Adonis goes up top, leaps, CROSSBODY! But he bounces off the cover! Adonis drags Kendrick up, wrenches and kicks to DDT! Cover, TWO!! Kendrick survives but Adonis keeps his focus.
Adonis brings Kendrick up again, Kendrick breaks free and swings on Adonis but Adonis gets a leg. Kendrick clubs away on Adonis, runs, but into a SPINE BUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Kendrick survives again and Adonis is beside himself! Adonis gets up and the fans rally. Adonis drags Kendrick up, says “This is my time!” and gut wrenches to a Canadian rack! Kendrick slips out and BOOTS! And BOOTS! And again BOOTS! Adonis drops to a knee, Kendrick gets the head and the throw but Adonis slips out of the Captain’s Hook! Kendrick BOOTS him again! Cover, TWO!! Adonis still lives, but Kendrick gets on him with the CAPTAIN’S HOOK!
Adonis flails, pushes up, shifts around to relieve pressure, but Kendrick keeps him from ropes! Kendrick rolls Adonis, loses his grip but gets it back! Adonis is gasping as he crawls and reaches! Kendrick cranks back as hard as he can but Adonis moves around! Fans rally up and Adonis makes the hold a cover, TWO!! Kendrick leaps but Adonis moves, and then SUPERKICKS Kendrick down! Adoins gasps and breathes, but he’s got some blood in his mouth. We saw that a lot at TakeOver… Adonis fires up, dares Kendrick to stand, and he SUPERKICKS again!! Cover, Adonis wins!!
Winner: Ashante “Thee” Adonis, by pinfall
In a shoutout to the Heartbreak Kid, Adonis likes to call that the Long Kiss Goodnight! And it was definitely a good night for Adonis as he finally wins! He finally gets a win over a former Cruiserweight Champion, and perhaps he has learned from Kendrick. Kendrick offers a handshake, and Adonis takes it. The fans cheer the respect between the two, will Adonis continue to win respect and matches as 205 Live rolls on towards the next 200 episodes?
My Thoughts:
This was a really good episode, but for being episode 200, that’s not good enough. There should have been video packages looking back on the past, with promos from 205 Live alumni like Akira Tozawa, Cedric Alexander and Buddy Murphy. Maybe not Mustafa Ali and Lucha House Party, given current story developments, but also why not? Of course, I feel like that would only then make us all realize how great 205 Live was, and feel bad for what it’s become. I will say, putting 205 Live in the Capitol Wrestling Center is a great idea. It will be even more integrated with NXT because of that, though very little of that has happened yet.
Atlas VS Daivari was a good match but it seems Nese and Daivari are sticking together as a duo. Maybe someone helps Atlas out and we get a real fun tag team match, as is 205 Live tradition. And it’s great to hear the Singh Brothers are going back to calling themselves the Bollywood Boys, per that little video plug. And back to the idea of integration with NXT, there should have been response from El Legado del Fantasma tonight against Adonis. I suppose that would’ve ruined his first big win, but why would they want to wait? Maybe it’ll happen next NXT, since that was something we didn’t get last Wednesday. I would love if Kendrick helps Adonis and Swerve against El Legado, that would make for a great Six Man Tag. And not that Kendrick would get a title shot, but him both understanding Santos Escobar using all those tricks and countering with his own tricks would be great stuff.
My Score: 8.1/10

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:

PLAY BY PLAY
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!

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
