PLAY BY PLAY
Sid Scala is in the ring!
“NXT UK Universe, tonight, we were scheduled to present to you, Walter VS Dragunov II. However, due to an altercation backstage last week, Walter has sustained an injury and is currently unable to defend the NXT UK Championship.” Sid and Johnny Saint have been discussing this issue with NXT management, and at this time, he sends things over to them.
William Regal, Triple H and Shawn Michaels speak via satellite video.
Regal thanks Sid, and says these three have “taken a keen interest in the happenings between Ilja Dragunov and Walter from last week.” HBK says that like all of us, they find this is a bit disappointing that the NXT UK Championship match isn’t happening tonight and is postponed. HHH adds that after many discussions with Johnny Saint, they have the best possible solution. Regal says the Walter VS Dragunov rivalry has been among the fiercest not only in NXT history but in pro-wrestling for the last decade. With that in mind, they felt that this match for the NXT UK Championship should be seen by the entire world.
Therefore, Walter will defend his UK Championship against Dragunov in the United States, on August 22, at TakeOver 36! What a HUGE announcement! With exactly one month to heal and prepare, will Walter be ready to defend against and defeat Ilja Dragunov a second time? Or will the Moscow Madman use TakeOver to take over NXT UK?
Symbiosis speaks.
Primate calls out Tyler Bate for using nunchucks! But his wounds of war heal. Bate’s won’t! Tyson T-Bate says that Tyler might be a Big Strong Boy, but we’ll see how he fares against two big strong MEN! Eddie Dennis tells Trent Seven, “Don’t think that we’ve forgotten about you! Every time we’ve shared a ring, you try to end my career! How are you gonna feel when we return the favor?” Dennis’ mind is a machine, and it is locked, loaded and aimed at the precipice of Moustache Mountain. The ammunition is ready to fire, but can they knock down Seven & Bate?
Nina Samuels VS Laura Di Matteo!
The Leading Lady loves the spotlight, but she wants her chance at the title. Will her performance here get her cast in Meiko Satomura’s next defense? Or will LDM steal the show and the opportunity?
The bell rings, Nina and LDM tie up, Nina gets an arm and wrenches to a wristlock. LDM rolls, slides under, trips Nina and ties up the legs to an inverted Bow ‘n’ Arrow! Then a float over to a facelock. Nina slips out to hammerlock LDM. LDM reaches up, fights up, wedges an elbow in to get free and she wrenches Nina back. LDM has the wristlock now, but Nina spins, only for LDM to spin with her! Nina cartwheels, switches the wristlock and wrangles LDM down. Nina drops knees on the arm, then digs them in. Nina rolls, hooks the arm, but LDM blocks La Magistrol to a cover of her own! TWO, and Nina is furious! She kicks low then throws LDM down!
Nina fires off kicks, grabs LDM by her hair and sits her up just to throw her down again! Nina digs a knee into LDM’s back, ties up LDM’s legs in a figure four knot, and pulls hair! The ref reprimands, Nina lets off and has the modified Bow ‘n’ Arrow! Nina pulls hair again, LDM endures, so Nina FLINGS her away! The ref reprimands about the hair pulling but Nina kicks LDM around. Nina bumps LDM off buckles, then runs to throw in a back elbow! Nina snapmares LDM down to then hit a NECK SNAPPER! Nina clamps on with a chinlock, knee in LDM’s back. LDM endures, grabs at Nina but Nina thrashes her around. Nina wants LDM to give up but LDM refuses.
Nina JAMS her knee in, but LDM fights up. BT Sports Studio rallies as LDM gets to her feet, and she throws body shots! Nina pulls on the chinlock but LDM throws more hands! Nina scoops to SLAM LDM down! Nina then sits LDM up but LDM turns things into a victory roll! TWO, and Nina runs into LDM’s dropkick! LDM whips Nina to a corner, Nina reverses and run sin but LDM slips to the ropes! LDM rolls Nina up, TWO! Nina gets up, kicks low, CLUBS LDM, then whips. LDM rolls, comes back, but into a fireman’s carry! LDM sunset flips, TWO! Nina escapes again but LDM CLUBS her down! And again! LDM gets Nina up but Nina hauls LDM into a corner!
Nina RAMS into LDM, and again! The ref counts, Nina lets off to stomp, but LDM CHOPS! Nina SLAPS LDM, hoists her up top, and fixes her hair, only for LDM to BOOT her! FLYING RANA! LARIAT! LDM rallies and dodges, to ENZIGURI! Nina flounders, LDM fires up! LDM runs in, springboards, but no DDT! Nina shoves LDM, scoops her to a tilt-o-whirl BACKBREAKER! And then another scoop for another tilt-o-whirl BACKBREAKER! LDM staggers about, Nina gets her at the ropes and pulls her back for a motorcycle stretch! The ref counts, Nina stops to DROPKICK LDM in the back! Roll and Canadian rack, to a KNEE! Cover, Nina wins!
Winner: Nina Samuels, by pinfall
“I’m baaaack~!” The Leading Lady has a new move in her repertoire, will she use that to take the title from Satomura?
Teoman speaks.
“Months ago, when I came to NXT UK, I said nothing is more important than family. I will stop at nothing to protect and provide for my mother, and my brothers.” Rohan Raja sits with The Babo as he continues. “I was born hundreds of miles away from my brother, but through respect, we have a bond.” Raja says last week, Ashton & Oliver learned the strength of this bond. Teoman welcomed Raja into the family because he saw something powerful within him. All of NXT UK will see that. It is easy for everyone to choose: Respect, or fear. Just remember, the family is always growing. Does this mean there are more siblings waiting to join Teoman and Raja?
NXT Media catches up with Xia Brookside.
She introduces herself, but is immediately interrupted by Blair Davenport. Xia, good to see you again! Now, Xia’s been here what? Three years? Blair’s been here like five minutes and everyone’s talking about her now. The only reason they know who Xia is, is because of daddy’s last name. Wow… Xia walks off but Blair says for her to come back and talk to her when she’s got her own last name. Blair laughs now, but will Xia wipe the smirk off her face?
NXT UK presents an all new Supernova Sessions!
“Hello, hello, hello! Hear me now. Live from the moon, welcome to another edition of Supernova Sessions.” Noam Dar apologizes for the “short break” they were on. He’s been on a Hot Boi Summer, simply living his best life. But he’s back now and has tunnel vision on 100, because money never sleeps, and he’s here to get all that bank~! Check, please. But making their SNS debut, an absolute 10 outta 10, Jinny and Joseph Conners! Dar almost forgot about him. But Jinny does not like the folding chairs. Is Dar kidding her? Oh right a queen doesn’t sit in something like that. Where are his manners?
Dar moves aside his framed copy of his own merch shirt, as well as the bright yellow throw pillow on his blue couch, and gives her the pillow. Now she can sit on the folding chair all nice and comfy. He doesn’t do this just for anyone. Jinny dusts the pillow off, sets it down on the chair, and she takes her seat. Dar is glad to finally have another 10 outta 10 on his show, like himself. A pioneer of the NXT UK Women’s Division. But what Dar really wants to know is: what’s her phone number? Jinny scoffs and Dar says he’s just kidding. But she is a bit of a fashionista, right? Conners asks where this is going. Dar sees himself as a trendsetter. He can “put it together.”
In fact, she’ll appreciate this. Feel the shirt. Just a little feel. Boop. Y’know what that is? Boyfriend material. Swish! Jinny says, “Sweetheart, I think it felt cheap.” Oof… Well now that she mentions it, one thing that Jinny ‘n’ Joseph are no longer is cheap. As a matter of fact, it has to do with this relationship here. What Dar, and the fans, want to know: Is this business? Or personal? Jinny can’t believe how pathetic Dar is being. First off, don’t start with how she’s been cheap. She lived a life of luxury since birth. Second, this line of questioning, Jinny passes off on Joseph.
Conners tells Andy Shepherd and whoever else NXT UK has, it’s obvious. Footage plays of Conners and Jinny living the high life. Ever since Conners started associating with The Queen of NXT UK, he has surrounded himself with true class and culture. Why wouldn’t he associate with Jinny? Jinny is so sick of people questioning this “relationship.” Smart people associate themselves with other smart people. Hmm, write that down, that’s good. But so this is professional, got it. Jinny’s single. Maybe some cocktails tonight? That’s a wrap, then. Play that funky m-
Actually, sweetheart, Jinny’s not done. She pushes Dar aside to call out Aoife Valkyrie. The only reason Jinny is on SNS is because she heard exactly what Aoife has been saying. But Aoife’s always watching from a safe distance because she IS a scared, fragile little girl. What Aoife says from afar would never be said to Jinny’s face. Aoife will never step toe-to-toe in the ring with The Queen of NXT UK. Why? Because Aoife knows Jinny will be the one who breaks Aoife. Conners applauds, and he stands as Jinny is ready to go. And FYI, Jinny doesn’t drink cocktails. Only champagne. Right, noted. Dar still wants her to call him.
And actually, the only “lady” he needs in his life is his own SPRNVA shirt, available now. Swipe up, use the discount code, ELEVEN, at checkout to save an extra 20%. Thank you, buh-bye! Play that funky music! Also, does anyone have Jinny’s number? Meanwhile, Conners has a match, will he prove just how beneficial Jinny’s help has been in his career?
Rampage Brown speaks.
“This is it. Rampage Brown VS Joey Coffey, round 3.” The training has intensified considerably, “This match is gonna separate the men from the boys. I’ll win by any means necessary to make sure I’m the one that comes out on top.” Will this third time be the last time between Rampage and the Iron King?
Joseph Conners w/ Jinny VS Tristan Archer!
The Spoiled Princess’ Righteous Knight is still proving he is worthy of golden opportunities. Will Jinny’s knight take down the debuting French Archer, then take aim at the next level?
The bell rings and Conners circles with Archer. They tie up, Conners waistlocks, spins him and wristlocks to wrangle Archer down. Conners gives toying kicks, but Archer gets up, spins through, only for Conners to wrangle him again. Conners gives more toying kicks but Archer is up again to spin and trip him up! They end up in ropes and Archer lets off, but he eggs Conners on. Conners gets up, circles and ties up, but Archer waistlocks! Archer headlocks, Conners powers up but can’t power out. Archer snapmares then runs Conners over! Things speed up, Archer catches Conners out of the air! But Conners slips out to a waistlock, only for Archer to elbow free.
Archer goes to run but Conners reels him in and passes him up. Archer follows, Conners stops but Archer LARIATS Conners down! Archer lets his hair down to stomp Conners and fire off hands in the corner! Jinny is upset, but Conners goes up and over. Conners runs, slides under, then gets a BACKBREAKER! Conners makes Archer look at Jinny, then runs for a SNAP CHANCERY! Archer staggers up, Conners CLUBS him on the back. Conners stomps Archer, throws hands, CLUBS him more, then throws back elbows and a clothesline! Conners reels Archer in for a LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Conners is frustrated but Jinny coaches him.
Conners CLUBS Archer on the back, snapmares him near ropes, then springboard knee drops! And then again! Cover, TWO! Archer gets up, Conners is after Archer but Archer hits back, Conners CLUBS Archer, ROCKS him, but Archer hits a JAWBREAKER! Archer back elbows Conners, but Conners body shots and BOOTS Archer down! Jackknife cover, Archer keeps his shoulder up, so Conners shifts to a ghost pin, TWO! Conners snarls as he gets Archer up. Jinny wants him to finish this, but Conners snapmares and JAMS his knee in. Conners throws down elbows, throws in another knee, and clamps on a chinlock.
BT Sports Studio rallies, Archer endures and fights up, but Conners CLUBS him! Archer throws haymakers, Conners throws body shots, it is a brawl! Archer headbutts, kicks, and throws more hands. Conners and Archer clinch, go around, Archer throws harder shots! Archer gets Conners up, reels him in, but Conners wrenches out to shove! Archer dodges to send Conners into a corner! ENZIGURI! Archer climbs but Conners rushes over. Archer avoids the trip up to bump Conners off buckles and KICK him back! Archer steps in, CODE BREAKER!! Covers, TWO!! Jinny is relieved but Archer is shocked!
Archer gets Conners up, Conners breaks free, Archer goes for a roll up but Conners sits on it! TWO, Archer sunsets, Cinners rolls through but comes back into a cradle! TWO, and Archer kicks low! Scoop, FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO!! Conners narrowly escapes and Jinny is upset! She wants Conners to show us why he’s worthy! Archer runs in, Conners BOOTS him, but Archer comes back with a DISCUS! Archer fireman’s carries for a GO- NO! Conners blocks the knee, runs, drags Archer down, rolls him, BASEMENT DDT!! Conners gets Archer up, crosses the arms, STRAITJACKET NECKBREAKER!! Cover, Conners wins!
Winner: Joseph Conners, by pinfall
Conners calls that one The Hierarchy, as proof that he is above his opponent. Will the Righteous Knight be seen as worthy of a golden opportunity in the near future? And as for Jinny, she spots Aoife Valkyrie watching right from the stage! The Queen of NXT UK watches her as she and Conners exit the ring. Aoife and Jinny get face to face, and Aoife plucks a feather from her shoulder pad. She presents it to Jinny, and Jinny takes it. The challenge has been extended and accepted, will the Valkyrie rise above the Spoiled Princess to show who is really the fragile little girl?
Jordan Devlin exits Sid Scala’s office.
The Irish Ace tells the Assistant GM that if he gets tricked, it’s on Sid’s head. NXT UK Media asks him about the Ironman Match being made between him and A-Kid. Yeah, it has been made. But we don’t need Devlin to list off AK’s accolades. Certified talent, inaugural Heritage Cup holder, but today A-Kid got another accolade: Dumbest man on the planet. To request an Ironman Match with a damaged ACL, and against Jordan Devlin, there is no way AK can be 100%. AK can lie to Sid, lie to the doctors, and lie to the fans, but Devlin doesn’t care because he knows that leg tore in his hands and AK was crying at Devlin’s feet.
Last time, Devlin tried to end AK’s career. Next time, he’ll finish the job. Is this going to be one high stakes game A-Kid wished he’d folded on?
NXT UK Media catches up with Dave Mastiff.
Mastiff is using a muscle massager and they ask if he’s alright. Yeah, he’s fine. Just looking after his muscles. But then someone else walks it. Jack Starz apologizes for interrupting, but he just wanted to say how much he appreciated Mastiff’s help the last few weeks. Without Mastiff saying what he’s said, Starz probably wouldn’t have accepted Tyler Bate’s offer. So Starz can’t thank Mastiff enough. Mastiff humbly thanks Starz for saying that, but one more thing: there’s more to come. Is the Bomber suggesting a team-up with Starz?
NXT UK Media interviews Moustache Mountain.
What is their response on Symbiosis calling them out? Seven says this is the issue: it is always words. Dennis just can’t let it go. It was done, 1-2-3, thank you very much, end of the feud. But then Dennis and his “monkeys” jumped Seven, Bate has to put this Heritage Cup stuff on the backburner so that they can have some business to handle. They’re back, good in for it. If there’s a target aimed at top of Moustache Mountain? Sat atop that mountain is a log cabin guarded by two of the biggest and strongest boys ever. They’ll see Symbiosis in the ring to settle this once and for all!

Did they get away with a lot on the outside? #YESBOY! Did they take advantage of the chaos they created? #YESBOY! Did they deny history being made in BT Sports Studio? #YESBOY! The #SidePlateCheck will continue to show that Pretty Deadly has these belts, but when will their luck run out?
My Thoughts:
What a great episode, even with it having to cover for Walter’s apparently legit hand injury. It is big for the NXT UK Championship to return to an American NXT TakeOver, and I feel like that’ll mean anything could happen. Imperium could interfere, be thwarted, and Walter wins from the distraction, but I would hope they don’t do that and let this be settled cleanly because that’s the only way to give Dragunov his moment. Devlin has a good promo to establish the Ironman match, that is going to be a very good match whenever it happens. Mastiff and Starz interacting again, it seems like maybe they’re going to add a new team to the NXT UK Tag Division, and that seems like a fun combination there.
Symbiosis calling out Moustache Mountain and them responding to set up a match is great, and I can’t really be sure which side wins that. I wouldn’t mind seeing Seven & Bate win so that Moustache Mountain can go after the UK Tag Team Championships, so they can be the first team to hold both NXT and NXT UK belts in their careers. Then Bate would be a true UK Triple Crown, and maybe even join Johnny Gargano and Adam Cole as a form of NXT Grand Slam Champion. Rampage Brown had a decent promo to hype up his true tiebreaker with Joe Coffey, that match is going to be awesome. Maybe winner gets to face the winner of Walter VS Dragunov II.
Teoman’s promo with Raja teasing that they could go from a tag team to a faction is a great move. I can’t to see who in both the men’s and women’s divisions they consider recruiting into The Babo’s family. Blair getting in Xia’s face gives us a clear feud between these two, which will be a lot of fun and help Blair establish herself a bit more in NXT UK. Nina Samuels VS LDM was a good opener, and Nina’s new finisher is great. One half dominator, one half GTS, I hope they give it a good name or else it’ll be rather disappointing. Supernova Sessions was really good this week, even with Dar in denial about Jinny shutting him down.
Conners VS Archer was a good match, and I like that NXT UK doesn’t just serve us up squashes. The brand isn’t recruiting and signing people who could be beaten so easily, and it makes Conners look good to give us the name of his finisher. Bate says Heritage Cup is on pause while dealing with Symbiosis, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Conners get a turn at challenging for it. Jinny and Aoife are set for their own match, that should be really good, and I’m sure Aoife wins to help build her up towards the title. If the NXT UK Championship is going to the US for a big title match, then I want NXT UK to focus on building up a big Women’s Championship match for around SummerSlam time.
And then, an awesome NXT UK Tag Team title main event! Probably the best match Pretty Deadly has put on, and definitely up there for Subculture. Just under 20 minutes, great stuff from character work to in-ring moves, such as the innovation. I don’t know how no one anywhere ever thought of a leap frog Canadian Destroyer or an assisted Code Breaker, but these two teams are really great at thinking outside the box in quite a few ways. Especially in what Pretty Deadly wears. I remember Shawn Michaels once wearing a leather version of those just-sleeves-and-shoulders things, Pretty Deadly shouts him out with their sheer mesh versions.
For just a moment, I thought Subculture was getting this, but then Pretty Deadly used great Heel misdirect work and won. This is part of why I’m hoping a Face team like Moustache Mountain to meet them at some point. Pretty Deadly is doing great work, Moustache Mountain always does great work, those two teams can only give us greatness.
My Score: 8.4/10

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.

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.
Lee and Komander reset, circle again, and Lee mockingly applauds. Lee pie faces Komander and talks trash. Komander storms up but Lee pie faces him again! Lee goes for another, Komander blocks to CHOP, go up and up, but Lee yanks him down! Lee says Komander’s not gonna do lucha on him! But Komander CHOPS! And CHOPS! Komander goes up and up and jumps around, to FLYING ARM-DRAG! Lee tumbles out, EJ is there, but Komander builds speed! Komander rolls, slow-mo up and over to then RANA! EJ can’t believe it but the fans fire up! Komander puts Lee back in the ring, then he springboards, flying sunset flip! TWO!!
Lee escapes then bails out, and Komander keeps an eye on him. #LEE-J regroup and EJ coaches Lee up. Lee storms up to the apron, but Komander DROPKICKS him down! The fans fire up, Komander builds speed, but EJ stands in the way! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Lee slides in and CLOBBERS Komander! The ref says this is EJ’s last warning, but Lee says Komander is nothing! Cover, TWO! Lee is frustrated and he drags Komander up. Lee bumps Komander off buckles, then brings him around to fire body shots. The fans rally, the ref counts, but Lee stomps away on Komander. Lee digs his boots in, but steps off at 4.

Lee is frustrated, but he rains down fists! The fans rally with “SI SE PUEDES!” Lee hammers away, then lets off to talk trash. Lee drags Komander up, TOSSES him to the outside, and EJ stays back. Lee taunts Houston, the ref watches EJ closely, but The Judge defends his own innocence. Lee goes out the side to fetch Komander, and he CLUBS Komander down! Lee puts Komander in the ring, drags him up, and snapmares for a chinlock.
The fans boo Lee while Komander endures, but Lee says Komander is still nothing! Abrahantes rallies the fans for Komander, and Komander fights up to his feet! Komander throws body shots, but Lee wrangles Komander back down! “This is your guy? This is too easy!” The fans boo, then they rally back up.

Komander catches Lee in the ropes and fires KNEE after KNEE! Komander UPPERCUTS, then ROCKS Lee, and he runs side to side! RANA-DRIVER!!

Lee ducks the chop, back suplexes, but Komander lands out! KICK! KICK! BLINDSIDE SOBAT!
Komander runs, QUEBRADA! Cover, TWO! Lee survives, the fans rally up, and Komander rises again. Komander has Lee in a drop zone and hurries to the corner!

Lee rises up, he fires hands on Komander, but Komander fires body shots! Komander SHOVES Lee, Lee backflips through! Lee comes right back! SUPER DUPER PLEX!! And he rolls through, to the outside? BRAINBUSTER to the floor!! EJ is fired up and the fans lose their minds! The ref checks both men, and somehow they’re both okay to continue. Lee and Komander stir while the ring count begins.
Both men are down at 5 of 20, then 8. Lee staggers up at 9, and he grabs Komander’s leg to SLAM it against the LED barrier again and again! Then he KICKS the leg! The ref reprimands, finish this in the ring! Wait, EJ has the title belt! The ref spots that, tells EJ to back off, but then Abrahantes snatches the belt from EJ! The fans cheer, EJ storms upon Abrahantes, but Lee puts Komander in the ring. Lee snarls while Komander unties his boot. Komander is getting pressure off the bad ankle, but Lee has him by the other leg. Komander ENZIGIRIS, but that was the bad foot! Komander writhes, but Abrahantes helps with the boot.

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! Panther CLOBBERS Hechi, Barbaro BOOTS Hechi, but Fuego DROPKICKS Barbaro! Soberano runs up but Fuego goes Matrix! Fuego bridges, then stands back up to dance!

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. Hechi CHOKES Sammy, Soberano BITES Sammy’s foot! The fans rally and duel, and Hechi drags Sammy around. Hechi puts Sammy’s leg through the ropes, Soberano CHOKES Sammy while Hechi pulls on the leg, and Barbaro stands on the other leg! The ref reprimands and counts, Hechi YANKS the leg as he lets off, and Soberano looms over Sammy. Soberano y Barbaro taunt Sammy’s team by holding Sammy’s arms out to them.
Soberano y Barbaro double wrench then DOUBLE KICK! Hechi drags Sammy up to rain fists! The ref counts, Hechi lets off, and Soberano stomps Sammy in the corner. The fans boo but Soberano drags Sammy up to GAMANGIRI! Sammy drops down, Soberano hooks his arms and digs a knee into Sammy’s back. Sammy endures, even as Hechi taunts him. The fans rally, Sammy fights up, but Hechi blocks the kick so he and Soberano can mug Sammy! They have Sammy on the ropes and hold his legs open! Barbaro runs up and KICKS the hamstring! MXM laugh while the fans are torn. Barbaro taunts Fuego, then BLASTS him and Panther!
Hechi twists Sammy’s arm, stands him up to wrench, and Soberano wrenches the other arm. They lift Sammy up, Barbaro runs, PENDULUM BOMB! Then TRIPLE BASEMENT DROPKICK! Sammy bails out, Panther is there to help him, and Fuego slides in. But Barbaro BOOTS him down! Barbaro y Soberano mug Fuego, whip him to the corner, then Soberano LARIATS! Barbaro LARIATS, then Hechi STEP-UP KNEES Fuego! Fuego falls, MXM is amused, and Hechi hooks Fuego up! Soberano y Babaro grab the arms, and they help Hechi get Fuego up!

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
