PLAY BY PLAY
Wolfgang VS Sam Gradwell!
Gallus wants to get back to the NXT UK Tag Team Championships, but they also have a friendly rivalry going on. The Last King of Scotland says he can handle the Thunderstorm easily, but Markus thinks otherwise. Gradwell has a mic as he makes his entrance and asks, “Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? Not this little piggy! Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin!” So Wolfgang can huff, puff, howl and growl, but Gradwell’s made of bricks. Wolfie is desperate to impress Mark Cough Drop, but Gradwell vows to rattle the jowls and wobble the kidneys of the Big Bad Yogurt! Will Gradwell actually back up his words this time?
The bell rings and the two tie right up. They go around, Wolfgang headlocks but Gradwell powers out, only for Wolfgang to run him over! BT Sports Studio cheers as Wolfgang mocks Gradwell flapping his gums. They tie up with a knuckle lock this time, have a test of strength, but Wolfgang kicks one arm and wrenches the other. Gradwell reverses the wristlock to get a headlock, but Wolfgang powers up. Wolfgang can’t power out, though, and Gradwell grinds him down. Wolfgang wrenches out this time, but Gradwell resists the top wristlock. Gradwell pulls hair but Wolfgang wrangles him down! Gradwell endures the top wristlock grind to kip up and wrench through to ROCK Wolfgang!
But Wolfgang just smiles! Wolfgang blocks the whip, whips Gradwell, but Gradwell elbows from the corner. Gradwell runs but into Wolfgang’s clothesline! Wolfgang rallies, has Gradwell in a corner and goes after the arm. The ref counts, Wolfgang whips Gradwell corner to corner and CROSSBODIES! Gradwell staggers as Wolfgang climbs, but Gradwell SHOVES Wolfgang off! Wolfgang hits the floor and Gradwell mockingly says, “How inconvenient.” Gradwell goes out and dares Wolfgang to get up. Gradwell leaps in from the apron for a FLYING FOREARM! The ref starts a ring count and Gradwell puts Wolfgang in to cover, TWO!
Gradwell stomps Wolfgang in frustration then CLUBS him down! Gradwell clamps on claws into Wolfgang’s shoulders, then shifts to a cobra twist. Wolfgang endures, fights up, but Gradwell RAMS shoulder to shoulder! Gradwell puts the cobra clutch back on and mocks the big bad Wolfie. Wolfgang grabs at the beard but Gradwell grinds the arm. BT Sports Studio rallies, Wolfgang fights up, but Gradwell ripcords Wolfgang out. Wolfgang counters with a BIG back drop! Gradwell staggers, comes back swinging, but Wolfgang dodges to fire off haymakers! Wolfgang DECKS Gradwell then CROSSBODIES in the corner again!
Wolfgang climbs and leaps for a double ax handle! BASEMENT SPLASH! Gradwell flounders to ropes, Wolfgang shouts, “GALLUS BOYS ON TOP!” Wolfgang gets Gradwell up for a SWINGING SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Gradwell sits up but Wolfgang clamps onto him with a chinlock. Wolfgang gets Gradwell to a fireman’s carry but Gradwell elbows his way free! Gradwell grits his teeth and he LARIATS Wolfgang down! But the rib damage holds him back from making a cover! BT Sports Studio rallies up as both men stir. Wolfgang sits up but Gradwell grabs his ear. Gradwell SLAPS Wolfgang, and that only makes him mad!
Wolfgang gets up, swings but misses. Gradwell waistlocks but Wolfgang elbows out. Gradwell bails out, Wolfgang pursues by going out the side. The ref wants them to get in the ring and Gradwell does, with Wolfgang in pursuit. ROLLING ELBOW! Gradwell snarls as he stands Wolfgang up on the apron. Wolfgang grabs Gradwell’s arms and HOTSHOTS him back! Gradwell comes back but into a HEADBUTT! Wolfgang slingshots in and SPEARS Gradwell down! Cover, Wolfgang wins!
Winner: Wolfgang, by pinfall
The Howler has a bloody eyebrow but he doesn’t care! Battle scars are badges of honor, especially for Gallus. Will Markus have a way to respond to Wolfgang’s friendly challenge? Will Gradwell ever learn to shut his gob?
Kenny Williams speaks.
“The NXT UK Universe has already seen what I will do to someone that I used to like. So can you imagine what I’ll do to someone that I don’t like? The best thing about everyone thinking you’re a scumbag is you can stop acting like you aren’t one.” Will the Scum of the Earth take every opening and opportunity he finds to shut Danny Jones down? We’ll see, after the break.
Superstars react to KLR VS Satomura II.
Xia Brookside says it was absolutely incredible. “We are extremely fortunate to have the best female wrestler in the world, Meiko Satomura, as our new NXT UK Women’s Champion.” It is well-deserved to Dakota Kai, she says Meiko is wrestling just as well now as she was 20 years ago. Ember Moon says Meiko is a legend and why so many women wrestlers around the world want to wrestle her as a dream match. Amale congratulates Meiko on defeating the “Forever Champion,” Kay Lee Ray, but reminds Meiko she did it at Amale’s expense. Amale still affirms she should’ve been in the Women’s Gauntlet, not Meiko. Meiko broke Amale’s hopes, so Amale will break Meiko!
Raquel Gonzalez hopes and prays that Survivor Series 2021 has some NXT USA VS NXT UK, so that she as NXT Women’s Champion can face someone as amazing and iconic and fierce as Meiko. Beth Phoenix knows Meiko has done so much around the world, this was just one of those things that had eluded her, and now she’s representing NXT UK with pride. What is next for the Final Boss now that she’s got gold?
Subculture talks backstage.
Mark Andrews says tonight is the night. Flash Morgan Webster and Dani Luna are ready, but then Joseph Conners and Jinny walk in. Conners says it’s “quaint,” and Jinny mocks it as a “pep talk.” They are all pathetic and beneath her. But then NXT UK Tag Team Champions, Pretty Deadly, walk in and want them all to take it easy. Sam Stoker & Lewis Howley cannot wait to commentate on their Mixed Tag Match tonight. Good luck, everyone. Conners says he and Jinny don’t need it. Andrews says to ignore the trash talk and take it all out on them in the ring. Jinny says they should enjoy their 15 minutes of fame while it lasts. But will the Spoiled Princess’ time in the spotlight be what runs out tonight?
Kenny Williams VS Danny Jones!
As the Chancer said himself, he won’t hold back on someone he doesn’t care about. Will “Raving” Danny Jones make him care? Better yet, will Jones make Williams regret looking down on him?
The bell rings and Williams ties up with Jones. Williams waistlocks, headlocks and grinds, then wrenches an arm. Jones powers up to SLAM Williams off! Williams rushes back in, Jones powers him down to a cover, ONE! Williams fires off hands, wraps on another headlock but Jones powers out. They ram shoulders, neither man falls, so Williams gets mad and KICKS Jones’ leg out! Cover, ONE! Williams stays close, slaps Jones around and whips, but Jones blocks!

Williams smirks and SLAPS Jones on the back! Williams stomps Jones, brings him around and uses an armlock and chinbar to grind Jones down. Jones endures so Williams sits him up to CLUB him across the face! Williams pulls on an arm while standing on Jones’ face, but still Jones endures. Williams gets both arms and digs his forehead into Jones’ back for a modified motorcycle stretch. Williams modifies it even more by sitting on Jones’ shoulders and neck! Jones grits his teeth and fights up as BT Sports Studio rallies, and he turns the motorcycle onto Williams! Williams drops to kick Jones away! Jones staggers but comes back to spin and ENZIGURI Williams!
Williams staggers, Jones TOSSES him to a corner! And then TOSSES him the other way! Jones is showing his strength as he BOOTS Williams down!

Winner: Kenny Williams, by pinfall
That driver is #BadLuck for Jones, the Scum of the Earth gets another victory! Will this translate into something good for Williams as the summer heats up?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
The stare down from a few weeks ago has now become a showdown! Ilja Dragunov, Joe Coffey and Rampage Brown will compete in a TRIPLE THREAT! And speaking of those three…
Dragunov, Coffey and Rampage sit down to talk.
Coffey welcomes Rampage and Ilja and says it’s good to have this discussion here to get the niceties out of the way. “Because let’s face it, when the three of us step in the ring, there’s not really gonna be anything nice about it.” Coffey likes that the others are chuckling and smiling now, because he’ll say this: “It’s great to be the toughest guy here at the table.” Rampage says he doesn’t need to tell these guys what they’re in for. Coffey already knows, they’ve gone 1v1 and are 1-1 already. Dragunov knows these two have a rivalry and they don’t really like each other that much, but then they both ask him why he’s jumping into the middle of it. Why is he getting involved in their business?
Dragunov says it is for a simple and specific reason, and they need to know it. “Because I get the feeling that you guys think, and I say it with all respect, that this is your playground.” It isn’t. There are others here, and most of all, Dragunov himself. Well that’s interesting. Glasgow is one of the hardest- No, no, Coffey says it is the hardest working place in the UK. Right, right. And then for Dragunov, Russia. Then Rampage himself, Leeds, England. All hard upbringings for all of them. Of course, but that’s why they are who they are: the three toughest competitors on the brand.
Coffey acknowledges he has history with Rampage, and there’s no one he’d rather test himself against. Same for Dragunov. But he asks them this: “In that match against Walter, do you think you left a piece of yourself behind? Has it changed you? Do you think you have what it takes?” The level of noise and violence in that match, just imagine how much more there’ll be in this one. Coffey vows to beat them both and leave them in a puddle. That’s what he’s willing to do. Dragunov says Coffey’s talking about violence, but Dragunov IS violence. “Anything can happen. I hope you’re prepared for this, because I am.”
Rampage says they don’t need to do him any favors. Coffey asks why he’s saying that like he knows something they don’t. Dragunov says they should learn from him on violence in the ring. Coffey says this is the kind of fight he needs and wants. Rampage says this is what he’s all about. All three men take a moment, and Coffey says, “So let’s bring it.” All three men are battle hardened, battle tested and battle ready. But who survives this battle to back up their words? And will the NXT UK Champion be watching?
NXT UK Media catches up with Mark Coffey.
They want his thoughts on the friendly competition they’re having, and he already knows what they’re getting at. Wolfie’s one up on him, but he’s got someone to pick a fight with. Mark walks up to Sha Samuels and asks if he’s reading the newspaper. Sha says he’s trying to. Mark shouts, “EAST~!” in a way to mock Sha, and Sha tells him, “Oh shut up, ya tart!” Mark plays the parrot game and says that back to Sha. Sha says Mark can try to copy him, but he can’t beat him. Is Mark trying to get in his business? Then how about they do some business, ya mug? Sha storms off, demanding to talk to Sid Scala and Johnny Saint.
Mark says that was easy. So Wolfgang might be one-up for now, but Mark’s ready to match him. But will picking a fight with the East End Butcher only end with Markus feeling down?
NXT UK presents an all new Supernova Sessions!
“Hello, hello, hello! Hear me now, live from the moon,” Noam Dar welcomes us back to his talk show. And please allow him to announce the official drop of the brand new SPRNVA 11 shirt! “Five years in the making, and she is absolutely beautiful!” Dar has his copy framed. If you deserve it, then the Universe will serve it. And Dar deserves everything. So get yours now, and get Dar pa-pa-pa-pa-paaaid~! Speaking of big money, welcome the Irish Ace, Jordan Devlin! Devlin walks out on stage, Dar shouts at his lackey to move the props aside, and then Dar and Devlin hug. It’s great to finally have an actual superstar on this show.
Dar sits on the couch, Devlin sits in the guest chair and Dar notes Devlin is looking sharp. Most wrestlers don’t have a good fashion sense, dressing like coalminers and railroad workers. But Devlin? He’s got a way of putting something together. Are those Sergio Giorginis? Yes, they are. Dar asks what he thinks about his Gucci sneakers? #GucciGang, all the way from China. But wait, before Dar forgets, he has a present! His own copy of the SPRNVA tee! Photo op! Dar and Devlin smile for the cameras, and Dar says it’s an “extra medium” so it’ll fit Devlin.
Devlin thanks Dar but Dar apologizes. Since this talks how started, Dar’s been trying to get him a spot, but Devlin’s schedule is packed! Devlin jet sets all over the place and was tearing it up in the US of A. Tell us, how has it been? Devlin knows Dar doesn’t need to be told, they’re both high achieving individuals. Dar’s been there, done that, been to the Land of Opportunity, and now they’re both back in NXT UK cuz America sucks! They high-five over that, then fist bump, too. Dar agrees, they’re classy guys.
But to bring things back to reality, Dar was expecting Devlin to return with the NXT Cruiserweight Championship so they could have some “hardware” on the show. But Dar keeps hearing how Devlin lost their NXT Cruiserweight Championship. But Devlin didn’t lose anything. Dar knows the truth: Devlin was ROBBED of that title. “They took our precious from us. Fr-from you, your championship.” Devlin says it is so nice to hear that from someone else. And Dar is right. Just because someone runs up a ladder quicker than you, doesn’t make them the better man. Dar says Santa Claus Escobum has how many fools on his team? At least three?
And Devlin says when he returns to the states, Escobar better keep his head on a swivel, because he’s coming for him and that title. If he ever needs any help, Dar is there. But unfortunately, or maybe actually, generously, Dar says he’d make some exclusive about himself, but sometimes he pays things forward. So right here, to Devlin, Dar gives the gift of time. Devlin can make his OWN exclusive right here! Devlin is honored. Dar gives Devlin the “moon,” and Devlin steps up. “This is an exclusive for every single member of the NXT UK roster. I felt that sigh of relief from all of you when you thought the Irish Ace was gone stateside.
“But I’ve got some bad news. Because THE franchise player on this brand is back! If you want to take a shot at the Irish Ace, I’m not hard to find. You just walk backstage, find the biggest dressing room, with the gold star on the door, ‘Irish Ace’ written on it, and if you’ve got the guts, test yourself against the Ace.” Devlin and Dar fist bump and Dar says that was one hell of an exclusive. But one more bonus exclusive, go get your SPRNVA shirt on WWE Shop! Dar poses with his framed merchandise, but who will line up to face the Irish Ace in the ring?
Another big match is set for next week!
After The Boba tried to break Ashton Smith, Oliver Carter made the save. Now Carter will have to fight for his own survival as he faces Teoman 1v1! Will the Evil Eye stare through the Predator Killer and send him home to his family?
NXT UK Media catches up with Dave Mastiff.
How is training going? Pretty good, really. He feels strong, feels good. Tyler Bate and Jack Starz in the ring just behind him, and Mastiff admits they’re very good. But his own training makes him feel fit and good. He can’t argue with what’s going on. But then Mastiff checks in with Bate and Starz. They were doing good. Yeah, just some sparring. Bate says Starz is impressing him. Bate offers Starz a Heritage Cup Championship match. Starz appreciates the offer, but he wants to earn it. Bate would definitely say Starz has but if that’s how he feels. Whenever Starz is ready, the offer stands.
Mastiff also tells Starz that he’s earned his shot. Don’t turn it down, what’s the matter? Starz seems conflicted. What must Starz do to prove it to himself that he’s ready?
Nathan Frazer VS Rohan Raja!
The British Prodigy has been on a roller coaster ride, but he’s ready to fly back up. Meanwhile, the British born, Australian raised and Canadian trained Young King is back after that scary arm injury at the hands of Teoman. Which rising star shines brightest inside BT Sports Studio tonight?
The bell rings and the two tie up. Raja SLAMS Frazer down, goes to facelock, but Frazer slips out and schoolboys to a cover, ONE! Frazer shoots for a leg but Raja blocks with a facelock.

Frazer hurdles and redirects to hurdle again, then comes back to SLINGBLADE! Raja gets to a corner, Frazer runs in but Raja puts him on the apron. Raja swings but Frazer counter punches. Raja gets under the springboard, Frazer comes back, but Raja gets Frazer for a SCRAPBUSTER! Cover, TWO!
Raja keeps on Frazer with stomps, and has him in a corner. Raja stomps more, lets off as the ref counts, and gets Frazer up. Raja wrenches whips and WRINGS Frazer into the corner! Frazer tumbles up, tumbles back, Raja covers, TWO! Raja wraps onto Frazer with a rear bearhug. Frazer endures the squeeze, fights his way up, but Raja SLAMS him down! Raja keeps on the squeeze but Frazer still endures. Frazer fights up, elbows free, and runs in, but Raja blocks the boot! Raja flips Frazer but Frazer lands on his feet to wheelbarrow and victory roll! TWO, Raja dropkicks Frazer down! Cover, TWO!

Just like his teacher, Seth Rollins! Raja staggers, Frazer grits his teeth and storms over. Raja throws a HARD body shot!

Raja is back in a drop zone, but he springs up as Frazer climbs! Frazer HEADBUTTS Raja down, and hits a FROG SPLASH!! Cover, Frazer wins!
Winner: Nathan Frazer, by pinfall
The Prodigy ruins the return of the Young King and looks to be building up his own legacy! But just as Frazer shows Raja respect, an Evil Eye is watching from the titantron! Is Teoman keep tabs on Raja? Or has something about Frazer caught his eye?
Jordan Devlin heads back to his private locker room.
NXT UK Media is there, hoping to talk to him, but he says, “You people are exhausting.” He said he had to say during Supernova Sessions. But then when Devlin walks inside, A-Kid is there! Did he not see the sign on the door? A-Kid apologizes, he just wanted some coffee. Well he can’t, because that’s Devlin’s coffee and this is Devlin’s room! Is it? Yes, so get your bag and your cup and get out. Oh, sorry, AK lost the Heritage Cup. Yes, he did. But Devlin lost something, too. So if Devlin wants AK to leave, make him. Make him? Do you know what Devlin will make A-Kid do? Devlin is going to talk with Sid and Saint about this. AK laughs him off, but will Devlin use his VIP status to teach AK a lesson?
Mixed Tag Match: Joseph Conners & Jinny VS Subculture!
After all the talking down and pushing around, the (Self)Righteous and the Spoiled will have to put up or shut up against those they look down on! Flash Morgan Webster represents the Mod Life while Dani Luna is punk rock strong, but will they deflate the egos of their opponents? And with Pretty Deadly on commentary, will anyone make an impression on them in terms of the NXT UK Tag Team Championship chase?
The teams sort out and Conners starts with FMW in a partial rematch from a couple weeks ago. They circle, tie up, and Conners pushes FMW to a corner but FMW turns it around. FMW lets off with a backwards roll and calls Conners out. They reset and tie up again, Conners snapmares but FMW rolls through. Conners rams FMW with a shoulder, then runs, but FMW drops down to hurdle over. FMW runs and arm-drags Conners around! FMW wrenches the arm, Conners rolls and knees low!

Jinny lets off to argue with the ref and Pretty Deadly rubs in that the shortest title reign of any kind in NXT UK belongs to South Wales Subculture, aka FMW and Mark Andrews, as NXT UK Tag Team Champions. Pretty Deadly has already surpassed those two. Jinny drags Luna up and wrenches to then wrap her up in an IRON OCTOPUS! Luna endures as Jinny pulls hair and stretches the arm.
BT Sports Studio rallies, FMW coaches Luna, and she powers out, only for Jinny to let off and throw forearms. Luna scoops Jinny and FALL AWAY SLAMS her! Jinny comes back and leaps on, GUILLOTINE!

Jinny survives, and FMW intercepts Conners with a KNEE TRIGGER! Jinny ROCKS FMW, that’s not allowed! But Luna SHOTEIS Jinny in return!
Conners staggers up, Luna goes after him now! Deja vu from when he faced Piper Niven and he scrambles off the fireman’s carry! Luna BOOTS Conners, and whips him out of the ring!

Cover, Subculture wins!!
Winners: Subculture, by pinfall
Mark Andrews joins his team to celebrate, but Pretty Deadly will only say they did good. Subculture means little to the champs now, but will they have to watch those side plates carefully?
My Thoughts:
Another great NXT UK! Though, the one flaw and it isn’t even a big one, is that I feel like there were some gaps in continuity when it came to Devlin’s Supernova Sessions promo. Yes, he should want payback on Santos Escobar for beating him and taking the Cruiserweight Championship away, but Kushida has the belt now, and Devlin didn’t make note of that, even though he told Kushida to be ready for when Devlin returns. Ironically, Escobar’s moved on to a different title to chase, but if Devlin ever does return to NXT USA, he really should go after Escobar for like a night and then go right after Kushida.
A-Kid defying Devlin’s private locker room restrictions was an interesting way of bringing him back, but a rematch of those two will be good either way. Jack Starz getting the Heritage Cup nod from Tyler Bate and Dave Mastiff is pretty big. Starz has definitely earned his way from a jobber to an underdog contender, but that promo in the UK Performance Center makes me think Starz will want to face Mastiff first. Whether or not Starz wins, if he has a strong showing, that might convince him to take on Bate. Either that, or someone tells Starz he’s right to not think he’s ready, that guy and Starz have a match, and then pretty much the same thing of Starz gaining confidence.
Gradwell seems like the guy for that job with Starz, but he just lost to Wolfgang. It was a very good opening match, and it was a bit lost in the shuffle that this was another battle of NXT UK Founding Fathers. Wolfgang was in the original tournament, just like Gradwell and Seven, but perhaps being the third guy in Gallus overshadowed that. Mark Coffey trolling Sha Samuels into a match was clever stuff, and that is going to be a lot of fun, too. And the Triple Threat we all felt coming has come! Joe Coffey VS Rampage Brown VS Ilja Dragunov could easily be made into an NXT UK Championship #1 contender’s match, but letting it be a battle of pride and dominance is more than enough. Their sit-down discussion was a great segment, really adding to the fire we knew there’d be in the match.
Williams and Jones had a very good match, even with nothing on the line, but we’re getting a better sense of who Williams is as “The Scumbag.” Kinda hoping Williams goes for the Heritage Cup at some point. Maybe he could be the detractor to Starz’s opportunity. Teoman VS Carter next week is going to be really good, and I like that Teoman sent an indirect message to Raja and Frazer. Frazer VS Raja was a very good match, too, and it was a bit of a surprise that Raja lost. Perhaps Raja’s two major losses are a sign that he will end up Teoman’s sidekick so that they can take on Smith & Carter in a tag match at some point.
We got a great video package to show other female superstars reacting to Meiko Satomura’s win. I was hoping for more NXT UK specific stars, but Xia Brookside as the purest Face, and then Amale as having the Heel motivations against Meiko were both the right choices. The Mixed Tag Match main event was great, and it was curious to have Pretty Deadly interacting with the two teams. This isn’t a co-ed tag division, but I suppose they were mostly scouting Flash Morgan Webster and his abilities to team with someone. Subculture winning makes sense both in the story with Jinny & Joseph but also the overall tag division. FMW’s 630 is awesome, it looks so fast.
I still wonder if Jinny will add another man to her faction, but also if Andrews is still recovering, because there aren’t going to be tag matches with Pretty Deadly that way if there isn’t a second male tag partner. And I don’t see “enemy of my enemy is my friend” happening here, I don’t think Jinny would let Conners team with FMW to try and get the titles.
My Score: 8.3/10

Andrew’s TNA LIVE! iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.20.2025
So the first live episode got fairly positive praise from everyone; will this continue the trend?
Filming at Full Sail seems to have set the stage nicely this week! Going into a Live episode we got Moose and The Hardy Boyz on NXT, as well as Jordynne Grace’s involvement with Steph and Giulia giving a little shine to TNA happenings since she’s newly WWE.
This episode should be interesting, we finally see Lei Ying Lee (fka Xia Li) back in action, Rascalz take on Tyson and Tyriek, Tessa should be seeing some action as well…so generally interesting happenings for the second Live iMPACT! of 2025. Let’s see how this one goes down!
No matter where @ManceWarner and @stephdelander go, @TheSamiCallihan WILL FIND THEM!

Results:
Oh yeah, and another Hendry concert is…cut off by a commercial, LOLTNA. First Hendry is cut off by AXSTV’s new Anime Hour bumper, and now Primo and Epico are showing up in TNA. I definitely didn’t have this on my BINGO card. The crowd starts chanting “Where’s Carlito”, which they do acknowledge and play off of well. Oh they’re using their shoot names of Orlando and Eddie now…but before they attack the lights go out and we get another guitar strum! ELIAH/ELIAS/EZEKIEL/EBENERZER/EMERY/EL VAGABUNDO – shows up to back up Hendry. Okay I can apologize away the redundant concert since it played into an Elijah debut. The crowd is immediately popping and chanting “This is Awesome” 10 minutes into the show.
Tyson & Tyriek w/Wes Lee vs The Rascalz w/Ace Austin
Treehouse bros take it to the bigger men quickly, a few fast dives, a little MCMG style tandem strikes, Tyson fires and tries to take them out but they Low Bridge him. Tyriek comes in and they try similar things but Tyriek manhandles them both and throws them out of the ring, Trey is the first one back up and Tyriek and Tyson take his damn head off with his Corkscrew Running Euro Upper. Trey finally manages to flip out of the manhandle, tags in Wentz and Wentz goes for the hot and spicy cleaning house spot. Corner to Corner Knee Lifts for both big men, a Rolling Snapmare, into a Superkick for Tyson and Standing Shoot Star on Tyriek but only for two because Wes feints like he’s going to interfere.
Tyson and Tyriek pull off a tandem Assisted Backdrop Driver, but Wentz breaks it up, Tyson gets knocked out, Wentz hits the Tornillo, Wes tries to interfere again after Trey gets perched on the corner buckle but Ace runs around and trips Wes at the last second causing him to faceplant on the apron, Trey hits the Meteora, Wentz hits a Swanton from the other side of the ring and Trey gets the pinfall victory.
It was fast paced, all gas no brakes, but it didn’t overstay its welcome, so it was pretty fun all things considered.
After the match Wes grabs a mic, complains a little but challenges them to a 6 man match as Sacrifice. So we’re THAT’S where we’re getting the expected 3v3.
Fir$t Cla$$ comes out with an entourage of hot chicks and probably influencers or something. The “First Class Penthouse” , Gabby AF, Mafiosa Valentina, and Carolina are apparently known in their own way. Gabby I know was the awful one who did something for Impact a last year and sucked, but she’s part of the Busted Open Network I believe so that’s why she’s around. Two of them look like Noelle Foley and Frank the Clown…oh they actually are. Look at that. I do love KC Navarro as the Hype Man, they have this whole set up of AJ being mad that they haven’t gotten more Tag Title shots, so TNA placated him with his own Piper’s Pit and he’s *pregnant pause* totally happy with that. He says he loved Piper and hated Hogan before it was cool.
This is actually quality content and AJ is cutting a nice promo in this segment. They introduce their first guest, the greatest performer in TNA history, many whole say he’s Phenomenal with a whole lot of style….it’s A-J-Francis.
.@AJFrancis410 is GOING OFF!

Lei Ying Lee vs Rosemary
Things were slow until Rosemary took her into a corner quickly, hit the Upside Down, and we get a lot of Lei trying to avoid Rosemary’s offense. Rosemary goes for a Spear in the corner and Lei forward rolls, starts connecting with a bunch of right hands, backs Rosemary into the corner, goes for 10 Count Punches, pulls her out, Airplane Spin TKO for only a two count. Rosemary tries As Above So Below, Lei shrugs it off, Rosemary tries to go after Lei anyway and eats Thunderstruck! Lei Ying Lee wins!
After the match Rosemary catches Lei on the ramp and hits the Green mist in the eyes. Match was far too short and so many of Lei’s set up moves look better than her finish. We’ve seen Kofi Kingston do it for years so it’s not bad, just the current Knockouts Division are awful and don’t take the move well.
Eric Young and the jabronis come out, EY cuts a very basic power crazed psycho kind of promo, gets the “What” chants from the crowds. EY is trying to recruit Maclin even though Maclin made his line in the sand last week. EY tries to spin it as maybe he took out Josh FOR Maclin instead of in spite of his trust. This really doesn’t seem interesting at all, but that’s probably because I hate the two Jabronis EY is with.
NoDQ Match: Leon Slater vs JDC
I really don’t have any interest in Slater. He’s got no personality beyond “flippy guy with a British accent”.
Dango immediately powders, grabs a chair and goes to swing on him but misses. So Leon is making JDC look dumb by dodging the post chop, using the chair to shield himself from a punch by JDC, and then clapping Dango’s fingers between the chair. So typical System match, look inept for the first few minutes, then take advantage of something to take over. Oh look, Leon takes too long setting up the table, Dango gets in a few pot shots, tries to whip him into the table but Leon leaps over it, and then leaps back over to clobber Dango. Dango is still trying to recover so Leon hits his over the corner post con hilo, and the crowd appreciates it but I’m not interested. Leon panders to the crowd after the big spot and then eats an X-Plex into the chair from Dango.
JDC throws Leon back in, goes for a pinfall that’s only a two and we cut to a commercial. Coming out of the commercial JDC is in control with a Kendo Stick until he isn’t, Leon counters and takes the keno stick, brutalizes Dango a few times then comes off the ropes with the kendo shot for 2. Leon goes for another table, and again, at least the crowd is receptive to this match. Leon sets it up, looks for something off the apron but Dango stops him first until he eats a dropkick to fall onto the table, Leon hits the Swanton 450 through the table on the outside. Does it look cool? Sure. Do I care about dumbass moves? Nope.
Oh thankfully the rest of The System comes out to stop the pinfall, Shield Bomb Leon through the first table, and roll him back in for Dango to win.
The Hardy Boyz come out to try and make the save, but the numbers are against them, so Oba Femi’s music hits! Oba cleans house but doesn’t get his hands on Moose, so they’re at least building the eventual clash between Moose and Oba.
The crowd starts a “Tessa, we comin for you” chant before she even starts talking. Tessa is actually playing off the crowd well, Santino’s music hits and Tessa thinks he’ll help her out with the crowd and Santino calls bullshit basically. Santino says if Tessa doesn’t wrestle next week, she’s fired and Masha’s music hits. Masha decides to step in for Tessa’s enhancement talent match.
Masha Slamovich vs Mila Moore
Jobber tries to attack Masha early but Masha stops her, rocks her and Requiem ends the match.
Masha stares down Tessa, and then Cora Jade attacks from behind and hits Jaded.
Ryan Nemeth comes out to his Abyss music remix. What will Mokuba say today? “MYYYY BIIIGG BBRROOOOTTHHHEEEEER” he repeats at least 4 times and it’s hilariously cringe. He announces that Nic will return at Sacrifice, he literally just came out to give a PSA.
Elijah & Joe Hendry vs The Colons
Hendry starts with Eddie, after a brief tie up it seems like Hendry reads the room and points at Elijah and the crowd wants him in. So Joe tags in Elijah, a little back and forth, Shoulder Tackle from Elijah, Rope Walk with Elijah lays out Eddie and a tag to Joe allows for a quick tandem knockdown, but Eddie powders as the Walking and Talking Duo hold the ring going into the final commercial break.
We come back and Hendry is bouncing Orlando off the ropes as he return a strike, but Orlando is obviously losing, eats a Euro Upper, and then gets walked around in the Stalling Suplex for posterity. Eddie tries a sneak attack but gets caught and Sack of Shit, into Kip Up, turn and then Orlando with the ambush! A few quick short cuts and an Irish Whip/Dropkick combo gives the Colons a near fall. Hendry does get locomotion variation cradles, but eats a Dropkick to stop the attempt at momentum. Orlando stays on Joe, but Joe finally starts to fire up as the crowd starts to get behind him. Euro Uppers make some space, but a Snapmare says no.
Eddie gets tagged in and a quick Leg Sweep into a Front Chancery keeps Eddie in control. As Joe tries to get back up, Eddie turns it into a Guillotine, but finally the Suplex counter connects for Hendry! Simultaneous tags! Elijah bulls over Orlando, catches a Leap Frogging Orlando with the Manhattan Drop as Orlando retreats to a corner, Stinger Splash into Spinebuster for two. Elijah tries to keep up the attacks but Orlando finds a few ways to make space, launches himself from the middle rope and eats the Jumping Knee! Eddie breaks up the pinfall, Hendry takes Eddie out and Elijah hits the Tombstone Piledriver for the win!
Overall Score: 6/10
Well there were more live hiccups than the first episode, and this felt both more epic and less epic at the same time. Elijah and the Colons debuting was a nice way to kick things off, Oba Femi showing up for the save was fantastic. There were a few decent matches, but also a lot of really short and rushed matches. Tessa played off the crowd well, but Masha really is useless on the mic. Lei Ying Lee needs to framed stronger, her matches have done nothing to show off her ability. It just proves that the Knockouts don’t know how to sell a kick to the head because they all take it in the shoulder and fall in corny ways.
Viva La Sam could be something fun if the next 3 weeks are just hand cam footage of him being like “I’m Sami Callihan and I’m gonna kick Mance Warner’s ass”, Elegance Clique getting the rematch with a stipulation is nice to see and while I like Fir$t Cla$$, that segment went a little long for a cornball swerve payoff. It’s one thing to placate the Influencer squad especially when we’ve seen Logan Paul and Ishowspeed do so well in WWE…but these are like Z Tier Influencers that no one cares about. These kind of dorks stream on Kick because they aren’t relevant enough for Twitch, not because they chose Kick over it.
So yeah, the low lights were pretty low, and the highs were a little fleeting, but at least they were pretty fun. Not a bad show, just clunky with noticeable issues and Masha shouldn’t be allowed to speak English anymore. She’s such a charisma vacuum when she’s not rambling in Russian.

Fuego Del Sol VS Wheeler Yuta!
Lucha night opens with a hot start as the Fire of the Sun returns to ROH, but so does The Decoder! Will Fuego Del Sol get one up on a former ROH Pure Champion turned current AEW World Trios Champion? Or will Yuta do the Death Riders proud in Houston?
Houston cheers on the Texas star, and Fuego offers the Code of Honor. Yuta reaches out, but then SLAPS Fuego! The fans boo and the bell rings, Yuta slips around to CLUB Fuego down! Yuta mocks the fans cheering on Fuego, then scoops him for a SLAM and SENTON! The fans boo but Yuta brings Fuego up. FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO, but Yuta holds onto the leg! Yuta taunts Fuego, but Fuego kicks at him! Yuta lets go and the fans rally up. Yuta runs up, Fuego ELBOWS him away, then goes up, up and FLYING RANAS! The fans fire up as Fuego then DROPKICKS Yuta down!
Yuta staggers up, Fuego SLAPS him! But Yuta LARIATS in return! The fans boo but Yuta rains down fists! And then stops, to rain down more fists! The fans boo but Yuta soaks that up while he “kicks dirt” on Fuego. Yuta stands Fuego up, CHOPS him, then has him in a corner. Yuta CHOPS Fuego again, the fans boo, but Yuta whips corner to corner hard! Fuego staggers forward, Yuta says they ain’t done yet. Yuta whips Fuego to the corner again, then FLAPJACKS on the rebound! Yuta adds a basement DROPKICK! The fans boo but Yuta soaks up heat. Yuta hits a spinning toehold, then has a DEATHLOCK!
Fuego endures and Yuta mockingly asks if he’ll give up. Fuego refuses to give in, and he SLAPS Yuta! So Yuta bridges and puts on more pressure! Yuta shows off by not even using his hands, but Fuego fights his way to the ROPEBREAK! Yuta lets go at 4, and he reminds the ref, “I have ’til five!” The fans boo Yuta parodying Bryan Danielson, then Yuta kicks Fuego around. Yuta eggs Fuego on, so Fuego ROCKS him! And ROCKS him! And again, and again, and again! But Yuta gets under the big haymaker! Yuta back suplexes, but Fuego lands out! Fuego dodges Yuta to then springboard QUEBRADA! Down goes Yuta!
The fans fire up as Fuego kips up and SUPERKICKS! Yuta sputters, Fuego runs and STEP-UP DOUBLE STOMPS! The fans fire up again as Fuego climbs a corner! Yuta stands, Fuego MISSILE- NO, Yuta gets under and comes back, BUSAIKU KNEE! Cover, Yuta wins!
Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall
Another thing he took from The American Dragon is that big knee, and Yuta takes the victory. Yuta sits Fuego up, and thinks about Hammer ‘n’ Anvil elbows, but he decides not to. Because he gets an even more sadistic idea! Yuta looks under the ring, and he brings out a steel chain! Yuta threatens the ref, then he goes to Fuego! The fans boo but Yuta hooks Fuego’s legs up, then uses the chain to go up, up and away, ROMERO SPECIAL!! Yuta taunts Fuego but Fuego is coughing up blood! Yuta lets Fuego go, the fans boo, but Yuta mockingly gives the Code of Honor handshake. Yuta no longer has honor, but will someone find a way to humble him?
Rachael Ellering VS Abadon!
The Queen of Strong Smile is feeling good being in Houston, ready to bring that Comet energy. However, she’s up against the Living Dead Girl, who brings a very different vibe. Will Rachael learn why everyone fears Abadon? Or will Rachael’s smile see her through?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, but uh, Abadon doesn’t let go. Rachael tries to get free, and now it is a tug-o-war. The fans rally, Rachael reels Abadon into a headlock, but Abadon BITES Rachael’s hand! The ref reprimands, Abadon lets go, and Abadon doesn’t get what’s wrong. Abadon runs up on Rachael but Rachael gets around to waistlock. Abadon switches, but Rachael goes to ropes to buck the O’Conner! Rachael CLOBBERS Abadon, but Abadon sits up! The fans rally, Rachael is frustrated, and then runs up. Abadon gets around, trips Rachael, then runs to basement dropkick! Rachael flounders to a corner and the fans rally again.
Abadon aims from a corner, runs in at Rachael, but Racahel ELBOWS Abadon away! Abadon says nuh-uh, comes back, but runs into a BOOT! Rachael runs and UPPERCUTS Abadon down! The fans fire up and Rachael aims from a corner. Rachael calls for the “SQUISH~!” and runs up, SENTON onto knees! Abadon avoids disaster and stalks Rachael to the apron. Abadon CLUBS Rachael, pushes her onto the apron, and springboards for a GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! The fans fire up and Abadon pushes Rachael into the ring. Abadon runs corner to corner for a METEORA! Abadon pushes Rachael to a cover, TWO!
Abadon is annoyed but brushes it off. Abadon drags Rachael up, but Rachael fights the suplex! Rachael wrenches out, trips Abadon, and high stacks, ONE!! Rachael ROCKS Abadon, then tries again. FISHERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up for the “MD Collapse” and Rachael aims again. SQUISH~ SENTON hits! Cover, TWO! Abadon survives and Rachael is a bit surprised. Rachael throws off the headband, double checks her teeth, and the fans duel. Rachael CHOPS Abadon at the ropes, then ROCKS Abadon with a forearm! Rachael whips but Abadon blocks! So Rachel CHOPS again! Rachael whips, Abadon grabs ropes, and laughs!
Rachael runs up, Abadon ELBOWS and CUTTERS! Then BLACK DAHLIA!! Cover, Abadon wins!
Winner: Abadon, by pinfall
Abadon continues to be terrifying, as well as victorious. Will the ROH Women’s Division, and especially the champions, have to watch their backs?
Backstage interview with Jacked Jameson.
Lexy Nair is with the former Iron Savage, and he’s counting his abs. She brings us back to a few weeks ago when he walked up to Griff Garrison, Preston Vance & Cole Karter in hopes of forming a group with them. Then in Jacksonville, Jameson actually interfered in their match on their behalf. The question is, what’s going on here? Jameson says those are his boys! His guys! His dudes! Jameson went out there, helped them, it was huge! It was awesome! Speaking of, the boys walk in! Vance tells Jameson that they’ve heard his offer, they loved what he did in Jacksonville, and tonight is a big match and… They’d love if he was a part of it.
So then, it’s official! They got him some Frat House gear! But first… he has to do something. Yeah, sure! Anything! Vance, Griff & Karter pour all of their drinks into one red Solo cup, and Jameson asks what’s in it. The boys say don’t worry about it. Jameson says don’t have to tell him twice. He chugs the concoction, and he is PUMPED! The Frat House is now four men strong, and Jameson says after tonight, party at the Frat House! Vance tells Jameson that one thing about them: win or lose, they booze! The Frat boys head out, Lexy can finally breathe from whatever was in that cup, and it’s time to see if Jameson passes the test!
12 Man Tag: The Premier Athletes & The Frat House VS Top Flight, The Outrunners & The Von Erichs!
Instead of “Smart” Mark Sterling, Tony Nese has the mic to tell Bobby Cruise to shut up, “no one wants to listen to your stupid voice.” Nese then tells the “fat boys and fat girls” of Houston, Nese & Daivari couldn’t think of a better partner for this match than an athlete that makes every single one of them put to shame! Yes, it’s SMART MARK himself! Wait, seriously? Sterling takes the mic to say that’s right, he is still here to make sure that the losers of Texas can take part in their winning cheer. So please, get this right. When he says, “Athletes,” you say, “Rule!” NOTHING ELSE! Hands in, boys. Ohhh…! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Gottee!
But with that, Dante & Darius Martin enter, accompanied by Leila Grey. Then Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd enter, and last but not least, Texas’ own, Marshall & Ross Von Erich! The massive teams sort out, and Darius starts against Nese. The fans rally up and Darius circles with Nese. Nese says wait, wait! He knows what the fans are here to see. Nese flexes, but the fans boo. Nese shouts, “ATHLETES!” The fans respond, “SUCK!” Nese and Darius circle, but then Nese kicks low! Nese bumps Darius off buckles, then tags in Daivari. “We’ll show you who sucks!” Nese & Daivari fire hands in the corner while the fans boo.
The ref counts, The Premier Athletes stop, and they both shout, “ATHLETES!” Again, the fans say, “SUCK!” Daivari tags Griff and they mug Darius. Griff ROCKS Darius, has him in a corner, then whips corner to corner. Darius goes up and over, rolls and arm-drags, then he DROPKICKS! The fans cheer, and Darius whips Griff into Dante’s BOOT! Tag to Dante, Darius CHOPS, Dante trips Griff, and Darius adds DOUBLE STMOPS! Griff scrambles, tag to Jameson, but Dante arm-drags Jameson! Dante keeps the armlock, he tags in Ross, and Ross wrenches to a wristlock. Ross YANKS the arm, then tags Marshall.
The Von Erichs double whip Jameson, then Marshall sends Ross in, FLYING BOOT! FLYING LARIAT and then Marshall snapmares Jameson for Ross’s PENALTY KICK! STANDING MOONSAULT and Marshall covers, TWO! Marshall fires the fans up, then hauls Jameson up to headlock. Tag to Truth and he wrenches Jameson. The fans rally but Jameson fires hands! Jameson whips, Daivari gets a cheap shot in, but Truth DECKS Daivari! Only for Vance to CLOBBER Truth! The ref has to keep Truth’s team back, so he missed all that! Jameson stomps Truth, tags Vance, and Vance covers, TWO!
Vance ROCKS Truth, has him in the corner, then CHOPS! Tag to Daivari, he CHOPS Truth, then he tags Nese. The Premier Athletes mug Truth with haymaker after haymaker, but the ref is still too busy keeping Top Flight, Turbo & The Von Erichs back! Nese drags Truth up, and he tags in Sterling!? The fans boo but Sterling gets to throw hands on Truth! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Sterling drags Truth back, anchors a leg, and tags in Vance. Vance stomps Truth, tags Jameson, and Jameson tags Griff. Vance puts Truth in a corner, Griff sends Jameson in to LARIAT! Vance adds a BOOT, and then Griff BOOTS Truth down! Cover, TWO!
Griff tags Vance back in, they mug Truth, and Vance keeps Truth from the corner. Vance suplexes, covers, TWO! Truth stays in this but Vance stays on him with a chinlock. Truth endures, the fans rally up, and Truth stands. Truth fires body shots, but Vance CLUBS him! Vance whips, Truth ducks ‘n’ dodges, DOUBLE LARIATS take them both down! The fans fire up again as Truth and Vance crawl. Truth pushes past Vance, but Leila has to get out of the way as The Premier Athletes & Frat House all run up! They all YANK Top Flight, Turbo & The Von Erichs off the apron, leaving Truth stranded! But at least Truth’s team fights back!
The fans fire up, but Truth turns around into a BOOT! Truth ends up on the apron, Vance runs up, and Vance SPEARS Truth onto the entire cluster! The fans fire up as Vance drags Truth into the ring. Cover, TWO! The fans rally up as Truth stays in this. The teams regroup, Vance whips Truth to the corner, but Truth BOOTS back! Truth fires hands on everyone else, and then storms up, but Vance keeps him from his corner! Vance whips and catches Truth to a SLEEPER, but Truth hits a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as Truth crawls! Leila coaches Truth, hot tag to Turbo! And to Sterling!? Sterling panics, he wants nothing to do with Turbo!
Jameson runs in, Turbo DECKS him! Griff runs in, Turbo DECKS him! Nese runs in, Turbo DECKS him! Daivari runs in, Turbo DECKS him! Turbo then scoops and SLAMS Nese! And he scoops and SLAMS Daivari! The fans fire up as Turbo ELBOWS Daivari in a corner, headlocks, BULLDOG LARIAT COMBO on The Premier Athletes! The fans are thunderous as Turbo flexes, but Sterling slithers in! Sterling CLUBS Turbo on the back, the fans boo, but Turbo just frowns and turns around. Sterling apologizes but Turbo grabs him by his shirt. Only for Jameson to get in and scoop SLAM Turbo! Jameson shouts, “Mark Sterling! You sonova b*tch!”
Jameson and Sterling look to parody the handshake, but Truth CLOBBERS Jameson! Sterling again apologizes, but Turbo stands back up! Sterling backs up into Turbo, panics, but Truth scoops Sterling! SLAM! The fans fire up as we get the real deal! Except Nese & Daivari get in! Wait, Marshall & Ross get them first, with DOUBLE IRON CLAWS! “Turbo Floyd! You sonova b*tch!” DOUBLE ELBOW DROP on Sterling! And then Sterling flounders up, into a scoop, but Griff & Vance get in! Top Flight DOUBLE SUPERKICK them back out! Truth runs, TOTAL RECALL!! Dante runs, Darius sets up, FLIGHT IN MOTION for Griff! Turbo covers Sterling, #TopVonRunners win!
Winners: Top Flight, The Outrunners & The Von Erichs, by pinfall
Everything’s bigger in Texas, and that includes this win as the super team everybody loves stands tall! But with The Von Erichs holding gold with Dustin Rhodes, will The Sons of Texas soon be everyone’s top priority?
MXM Collection speaks.
ROH Media found Mansoor & Mason Madden after their loss at ROH Global Wars: Australia, but they still had their remodeled ROH World Tag title belt. As such, they act triumphant and victorious because they “successfully defended” their ROH World Tag Team Championship. Because as you can see, they still have the belt! Shoutout to Dustin Rhodes, he is a great fellow tag team champion, he really tested MXM. But then they ran away with this here title, and there is nothing anyone can say about it! Fingertip touch and MXM heads out, but they do know possession is NOT nine-tenths of the law in ROH, right?
Billie Starkz VS Hyan!
As if tensions weren’t already high between these two, Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths is being belittled because she lost to Harley Cameron on the Jericho Cruise while The Fallen Goddess is still ROH Women’s World Champion after beating Alex Windsor in Australia. The Athena World Tour returns home to Texas, but will Billie make “Boss” proud? Or will even disappointment be bigger in Texas?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the fans rally up for Hyan. Billie is annoyed, the two tie up, and Billie wrenches to a wristlock. Hyan cartwheels, wrenches to a wristlock, but Billie rolls, rolls back, then trips Hyan. Billie flexes, the fans are torn, but then Billie throws Hyan down by her hair! Billie talks smack on Hyan, Hyan runs up, but Billie dodges to waistlock and shove. Billie then bypasses Hyan to sunset flip. Hyan rolls through, but Billie basement ENZIGIRIS! Billie then drags Hyan up to waistlock. Hyan fires elbows, runs to ropes, but Billie holds on! Billie CLUBS Hyan’s arms from the ropes, to STRAITJACKET GERMAN!
Billie scowls, then she stalks Hyan to the corner. Billie stomps a mudhole in, but the ref counts. Billie tells him to back off! The fans boo, but Billie asks, “What do you want from me!?” Billie runs in, but Hyan dodges and Billie POSTS herself! The fans fire up, Hyan storms over, and Hyan brings Billie up to suplex high and hard! The fans fire up and Hyan feels that energy! Hyan runs to SPLASH in the corner! Hyan keeps moving, but Billie ELBOWS her away. And BOOTS her! Billie goes up, Hyan stops the boot, but not the rebound ENZIGIRI! Billie goes up top, leaps, but Hyan gets under! Hyan ELBOWS Billie, cravats to KNEE and KNEE SMASH!
Hyan hits a BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Billie stays in this, it’s why she’s the inaugural ROH Women’s TV Champion. But she sits up into a CHOP! Hyan CHOPS again, and again, but Billie blocks! Billie scowls, and then she ROCKS Hyan again and again! Billie has Hyan in the corner, fires more shots, but the ref counts. Billie stops at 4, then backs up just to run up, HEEL KICK! Billie then puts Hyan up top, Electric Chair Lifts, and she tucks Hyan in for a DRIVER!! Cover, Billie wins!
Winner: Billie Starkz, by pinfall
Well, if Kenny Omega uses a One Winged Angel, was that a Two Winged Angel? The bottom line is Billie is back in the win column, but will she ever fight her way out from under Athena’s tyranny?
ROH World Television Championship: Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Lee Johnson w/ EJ Nduka!
After failing to finish the Proving Ground match in under ten minutes, the Commander of the Skies has owed Big Shotty this title shot. Will Komander get the job done now that there’s a thirty minute time limit? Or will Lee prove this is all too easy?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is really the star of ROH TV!
The Code of Honor is not upheld as Lee leaves Komander hanging. The bell rings, the fans rally for Komander, and the two circle. Lee chuckles, tells Houston to calm down and shut up, then he ties up with Komander. Lee arm-drags, but Komander holds on. They stand, Lee waistlocks, Komander switches, but Lee switches. They switch again and again, but then Lee headlocks. Komander headlocks, Lee slips out and hits a takeover. Komander headscissors, Lee kips free, and things speed up. Komander QUEBRADA but Lee dodges! Komander still headlocks for a takeover, Lee headscissors, and Komander kips free. The two stand off and the fans cheer.

Winner: Komander, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)
Even with all that damage done by Big Shotty, Komander shows the grit of a champion and pulls out the victory! Will he still find ways to win, no matter the odds?
Red Velvet speaks.
When it comes to her by-any-means-necessary way of winning, The Chef knows we all want to know “Why? Why? I have been on a roll lately. The hottest of my career. Why? Why? I’m starting to get real tired of the same questions. Why? I’m just getting started.” When and where will Red Velvet serve up another L fresh from the kitchen?
Six Man Tag: Sammy Guevara, Fuego & Dark Panther VS Hechicero, Barbaro Cavernario & Soberano Jr!
Lucha night comes to an end with a huge crossover between ROH and CMLL! And it will be lucha rules! That means if the legal man falls out of the ring, someone can jump in and take their place! Will the Spanish God be able to help The Flame of Mexico and El Latigo Lagunero win big in Texas? Or will the Alchemist, El Australopithecus Apestosus y The Luxury of Lucha prove they are primero del mundo?
Wait, MXM appears on stage to taunt Sammy with his ROH World Tag Team title belt. Sammy ignores them while the trios sort out. But then Hechicero DROPKICKS Sammy out!

The trio builds speed, but Hechi’s team CLOBBERS them all! Hechi stomps Sammy, Soberano stomps Panther and Barbaro stomps Fuego. Fuego and Panther fall out so Soberano is the legal man.

The fans boo, Sammy flops out of the ring, but Fuego steps up! Fuego runs, slips through a tilt-o-whirl, but Hechi victory rolls, only to stand up and INVERTED MONKEY FLIP Fuego into a LEG SCISSOR NELSON! But that’s not all, Hechi makes it a ROLLING CRADLE! They go around and around and around, into the cover! Team Hechi wins!!
Winners: Hechicero, Barbaro Cavernario & Soberano Jr, by pinfall
Give an assist to MXM as they celebrate their part to play in this victory. They even get Hechicero to touch fingertips with him! But then they aim at Sammy! Only for Fuego y Panther to get back in! MXM flips the belt around to swing on them! Fuego y Panther dodge, and they DOUBLE DROPKICK MXM out! The fans cheer, but Sammy, Fuego & Panther grab Mansoor! Mansoor says save yourself! He lets the belt go, Sammy has Mansoor in the torture rack! GO TO HOSPITAL!! Mason shouts, “NOOO~!” but he keeps the title belt away from Sammy. Will Sammy & Dustin just have to take the fight to MXM to get their stolen property back?
My Thoughts:
A very good ROH clocking in at an hour and 21 minutes, it feels like they’ve almost got this mastered for a good cable TV runtime. Though at the same time, we still had filler in Gates of Agony squashing Exodus & Josiah, and then both women’s matches were fairly quick. Billie squashing Hyan was in part to serve story as we did see Athena tell Billie to take things seriously, and then Billie takes her frustrations out on Hyan. Rachael VS Abadon could’ve been a little longer to build them both up in the standings, but Abadon winning makes sense as Abadon’s gotten closer to titles than Rachael has. And good promo from Velvet, but I’m not sure why we’re waiting so long to get to her and Leyla’s rematch.
Additionally, while that 12 Man Tag was some fun, just smashing together multiple teams for that was bordering on filler. Good to see The Von Erichs back given ROH was in Texas. And between The Von Erichs being in Texas and Sterling being introduced as one of the competitors, it was a given The Von Erichs and their team would win. Though it did work that The Outrunners got the finish, they’re the team riding high right now. I will say it’s good that “The Frat House” is a faction, but like, can’t the name have just be The Fraternity? Or like, Greek letters that make a fraternity name, but also is a funny pun when you boil it down to letters.
But of course, great stuff throughout the night involving luchadores. Fuego Del Sol VS Yuta was a very good opening match, but I figured Yuta would win that. Him going the extra mile with that steel chain was rather vicious, I feel like Fuego should want payback, teaming with some other AEW wrestlers who have beef with the Death Riders. Komander VS Lee was a very good ROH TV Championship match, but given this wasn’t the main event, I figured Komander would retain. Maybe EJ gets his shot next?
And then a very good Six Man main event. The lucha rules made it constant motion because there was no need for tags, and apparently the ref didn’t need to count when Hechi’s team was in there together. MXM getting involved makes sense, as they’re still not happy just possessing the tag title. They screwed Sammy over, Hechi’s team wins, but then Sammy’s side stands tall over MXM. I would think we do get Sons of Texas VS MXM one more time, who knows how that goes, but it’ll be a lot of fun either way.
My Score: 8.6/10
