Top Flight w/ Leila Grey VS Tomohiro Ishii & Rocky Romero!

While Darius & Dante Martin are still stinging from Nick Wayne & Cru getting the better of them, they’ll brush that off and look to start again. Will they take off towards tag title opportunities? Or will the Stone Pitbull & Azucar represent for The Conglomeration?

The teams sort out and Dante starts against Rocky. The bell rings, the fans rally, and the Code of Honor is upheld. The two circle, feel things out, and knuckle lock. Dante kicks an arm, wrenches the other, then swings Rocky around to waistlock. Dante then half nelsons, spins Rocky to a cravat, but Rocky wrenches free to top wristlock. Rocky wrangles Dante, the fans rally up, and Dante kips up. Dante goes to the ropes, springboards to arm-drag, then things speed up. Rocky avoids the dropkick, but then Dante kips up, ducks ‘n’ dodges, and DROPKICKS after all! Dante whips Rocky to the corner, A-LIST LARIATS, then tags Darius!

Darius snap suplexes, tags back to Dante, and Dante slingshot SENTONS! Cover, ONE, but Dante brings Rocky up. Dante wrenches an arm, tags Darius, and Darius LEAP FROG HIP DROPS the arm! Darius whips Rocky, leaps, but Rocky FLAPJACKS him down! Tag to Ishii! The fans fire up and Ishii runs up, but Darius DROPKICKS! Ishii stays put, runs, but Darius arm-drags! And arm-drags! But Ishii stuffs the headlock takeover! Ishii whips Darius to ropes, Darius comes back to RAM Ishii! Ishii rebounds, runs through the lariat, and CLOBBERS Darius! The fans fire up as Ishii then fires forearms with Darius back and forth.

The fans rally as the forearms keep going and going, and going! Darius blocks, CHOPS, but Ishii ROCKS him! Darius DROPKICKS and Ishii falls! Darius drags Ishii up, but Ishii SAIDOS! Tag to Rocky and the Conglomeration double whip to DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! Rocky flexes, the fans cheer, and Rocky gives some Azucar Heat. Rocky drags Darius up to CHOP him! Then he snap suplexes Darius! Tag to Ishii and Ishii stomps Darius. Ishii CHOPS Darius to the ropes, then CHOPS him on the ropes! And CHOPS! CHOPS! Darius sputters, Ishii tags Rocky, and Rocky snapmares Darius to KNEE him in the back!

Rocky KNEES Darius again, then eggs him on. Darius fires body shots, UPPERCUTS, but Rocky kicks low! Rocky CHOPS Darius, the fans rally, and Rocky whips Darius away. Darius BLASTS Ishii, then goes up and over Rocky, hot tag to Dante! The fans fire up as Dante ELBOWS Rocky, LARIATS him, then whips.

Dante brings Rocky up, whips him to the corner, but Rocky stops to BLAST Darius! Rocky UPPERCUTS Dante, then runs corner to corner, LARIAT! That’s One-Ever!

Winner: Top Flight, by pinfall

Darius & Dante used their athleticism and teamwork to get that win, and now they’ve got momentum back on their side! Will nothing stop Top Flight from heading back to the title scene?

As for Rocky and Ishii, Rocky is on edge and Ishii tells him to calm down. Azucar is feeling spicy, but he still hugs it out with Ishii. Will Rocky’s frustration become motivation so that he can go for gold of his own?

Red Velvet speaks.

“Your longest-reigning ROH Women’s World Television Champion is back and cooking. And word around the kitchen is that Taya Valkyrie and La Catalina of CMLL are gonna duke it out for an opportunity at my baby.” Velvet laughs at that, and says, “Spoiler alert!” It doesn’t matter if it’s La Wera Loca or La Diva, because those two are just idiots! And Red Velvet always gets her lick back. She doesn’t back down from anyone, because it will be #AndStill.

ROH Women’s World Television Championship #1 Contender’s Match: La Catalina VS Taya Valkyrie!

Speaking of that match, La Diva and La Wera Loca are ready to serve it up! But who will be tasting sweet victory while the other is left with the bitter taste of defeat?

The Code of Honor is upheld, but Taya makes sure Catalina knows this is serious business. The bell rings, the fans rally up, and the two tie up. Taya waistlocks, then spins Catalina to wrench an arm. Catalina rolls, arm-drags, and the fans cheer as Catalina tosses her hair. Taya stays cool, circles with Catalina, and gets around for another waistlock. Taya SLAMS Catalina down, flips her over, but Catalina kips up, only for Taya to throw her down! Catalina kips up again, but Taya throws her back down! Catalina kips up a third time, breaks free, and fires a flurry! Catalina hits an arm-drag, then kips up again! But Taya BOOTS her down!

Taya messes with Catalina’s hair, the ref reprimands and the fans boo, but Taya shrugs. Taya whips Catalina, but Catalina redirects to then SHOTGUN! The fans fire up with Catalina while Taya bails out. Catalina builds speed, but Taya hurries away. The fans are torn but Catalina storms out after Taya. Catalina wheelbarrows, but Taya SLAMS her on the railing! Taya gives some of her own cha-cha skills, then brings Catalina around to SMACK her off the apron. Taya pushes Catalina into the ring, stomps her down, then sits her up for a SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Catalina stays in this but Taya grabs the legs.

Taya smiles as she steps through, spinning toehold! Then a roll into the KNEEBAR ANKLE LOCK COMBO! Catalina endures, crawls forward, and drags Taya along as she manages the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Taya holds until 4, and then Taya talks trash. Catalina ELBOWS her back! And BOOTS her, too! Catalina runs to SHOTGUN KNEE! Taya stumbles onto the ropes, Catalina fires up, HIP ATTACK! The fans fire up with Catalina as she runs, dodges, and fires boxing elbows! Catalina runs again, SLAM DUNK! Cover, TWO! Taya stays in this but Catalina stays focused. Catalina whips Taya to a corner, sits her down, and fires up again!

Catalina survives, but Taya is actually amused. Taya fireman’s carries, but Catalina fights free! Catalina shoves, follows, and then FACEBUSTERS on the run! Cover, TWO! Taya is still in this, but Catalina is getting frustrated. Catalina whips Taya, Taya reverses, but Catalina dodges! Taya dodges, redirects, and SPEARS!

Winner: La Catalina, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the ROH Women’s World Television Championship)

Catalina is herself a little surprised, but then she celebrates and does her dance! Will La Diva soon eat up everything Red Velvet sends her way?

Nick Wayne w/ Shayna Wayne VS Michael Oku w/ Amira!

The Prodigy has a spot in this year’s NJPW Best of the Super Juniors, and he even has an ROH World Television Championship match waiting for him on Collision, but this is a bit more than a tune-up here. Will The Master of The Half-Crab show why he’s the TWO-TIME RevPro Undisputed British Heavyweight Champion? Or will that not matter now that he’s in Wayne’s World?

The fans already rally with, “Let’s Go, Oku!” The Code of Honor is not upheld as Nick kicks the hand away. The bell rings, Nick and Oku circle, and they tie up. The two are in a deadlock, until Nick finds a point of leverage. Nick puts Oku in a corner, smothers him, but then mockingly pats him on the shoulder before giving him a little slap on the cheek. Oku stays cool and the two reset. They tie up, Nick headlocks, but Oku fires body shots. Oku powers up and out, Nick runs him over and flexes, but the fans still boo. Nick runs, Oku stays low, hurdles over, but then dodges and RANAS! The fans fire up, and Oku DROPKICKS!

Nick flounders away, Mama checks on her boy, but Amira rallies the fans for her guy. Oku grabs Nick’s legs, drags him but Nick holds onto ropes. The ref counts, Nick UP KICKS at 4! Nick then goes to the apron, climbs up, but Oku grabs him first! Oku bumps Nick off buckles, then triangle jump DROPKICKS! Nick falls, Mama is there for him, but the fans fire up for Oku as he runs corner to corner! Oku jumps the ropes, Nick runs away, but then Nick blocks the Penalty Kick to FLIP Oku! Oku lands hard on the apron, Amira is upset, but Mama has her back off. Nick drags Oku to THROW into railing! Nick climbs up the barriers just to taunt the fans!

The fans boo, Nick says “SUCK IT!” and then goes back for Oku. The fans taunt Nick as a “Mama’s Boy! Mama’s Boy!” Nick puts Oku in the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO! Oku stays in this but Nick is annoyed. Amira rallies behind her man but Nick goes for a full nelson. Oku fights it, gets to his feet, and he arm-drags Nick away! Nick runs in, Oku ELBOWS, but Nick RAMS Oku into the corner! Oku BOOTS Nick, goes up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! The fans fire up while Oku and Nick are both down. Oku and Nick crawl to ropes, stand up, and Oku blocks a shot to ROCK Nick! And ROCK him again! And again!

Oku fires a flurry, then whips, but Nick reverses. Oku reverses to kick, wrench and TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! Nick survives and Oku is a bit surprised, but the fans rally up. Oku drags Nick by a leg, and shouts, “NOW, WE PLAY!” Nick fights off the Half Crab by pulling hair and throwing hands! Nick is up, but Oku gets around to shove, redirect, only for Nick to dodge! Nick wants the nelson but Oku fights that and trips Nick! Nick kicks Oku but Oku PENALTY KICKS! Then TOP ROPE LIONSAULT, but onto knees! DRAGON SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Oku survives but Mama Shayna argues the count.

Amira coaches up Oku and the fans rally again. Oku and Nick rise, and Nick goes up, up, but Oku stops the cutter! Oku then redirects and BUSAIKU KNEES! Nick tumbles out of the ring but Oku rallies the fans. The fans clap along, speed up, and Oku builds speed! HIGH JUMP FOSBURY!! The fans are thunderous but Mama Wayne is upset! Amira tells her to be mad, and Oku puts Nick in. The fans fire up as Oku goes up, up, and FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!!! Nick survives, but Oku has the leg! HALF CRAB!! Nick endures Oku’s favorite hold and the fans go wild! Nick scrambles reaches out, and Mama even pushes the rope closer for the ROPEBREAK!

The fans boo, the ref reprimands, and Amira gets in Shayna’s face! Nick tells Mama to stand down, Amira’s not just a manager! Nick hobbles, Oku DROPKICKS him! Oku fires up, the fans are with him, and Oku goes up, up and- NO, Shayna is distracting the ref! Amira argues with Shayna, but KIP SABIAN shoves Oku down! BOOTS from Nick, into WAYNE’S WORLD!!! Cover, Nick wins!!

Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall

Kip gets revenge on a UK rival while helping out his Patriarchy “brother,” talk about a Superbad night. But while the “family” helped Nick here, Christian Cage said that Nick must win the ROH World TV title on his own. Can Nick make “Father Christian” proud? Or will he be stumbling along towards the Best of the Super Juniors?

My Thoughts:

Tony Khan has ROH doing too much. I get that because of scheduling reasons (WrestleMania being this weekend), Collision was going to be on tonight instead of Saturday, which complicates how ROH airs. But why you gotta do this “prelude” when you can just have it all on Friday? For that matter, why have anything on Friday? This half of ROH was fine, clocking in at 37 minutes. Even then, I didn’t have time for all of it because I didn’t realize they did this until I checked on ROH’s official site. Guess that’s my mistake for not following ROH related social media like YouTube.

Good stuff from Top Flight VS Ishii & Rocky, and a good win for Top Flight. It was also serving a story point with Rocky where he is frustrated over being kinda last place in The Conglomeration. Orange Cassidy has been International Champion, Mark Briscoe has been ROH World Champion, Ishii just got the NJPW Strong Openweight Championship, and Rocky hasn’t had much of anything in a long time. I don’t see Rocky ditching Conglomeration since that’d also be tantamount to him ditching Chaos/Hontai in NJPW.

Shane Taylor VS KM went about how I expected, but I do believe Shane was saying after that he’s tired of waiting. Honestly, I agree, TK needs to do something more with Shane Taylor Promotions than just having them lose to “bigger stars.” They should at least be running ROH, taking on The Sons of Texas for their various gold and then aiming for the TV and world titles while they’re still on Face wrestlers like Komander and Bandido. In fact, I think Komander y Bandido are a duo going up against The Infantry for Friday’s episode, maybe we get started on some good story for Supercard of Honor.

Very good promo from Red Velvet, and a very good match from Taya VS Catalina. Taya and Velvet both being Heels, it makes sense Catalina would win. Plus that’s a good crossover match of ROH VS CMLL. No idea if Catalina wins or not, but she’ll give Velvet a very good match. And we also got a very good match from Nick Wayne and Michael Oku. Oku is definitely a top talent, and at least his loss is protected from the interference run by Shayna Wayne & Kip Sabian. I wonder if Oku tries to get payback on Collision during Nick’s match with Komander… After all, I’m not quite sure if Nick takes the ROH TV Championship given he’s also going to be part of NJPW’s Best of the Super Juniors.

My Score: 8.7/10
