Mark Coffey VS Sha Samuels!

But now, before Joe Coffey takes on Noam Dar for the NXT UK Heritage Cup, Markus will take on Sha in a match where everyone else is barred from ringside! Will Gallus Boys be back on top? Or will Sha win this one for EEEEAST?

Markus shut Sha up the hard way, proving he can get it done all by himself! Will Joe Coffey do the same when he takes on Noam Dar for the Heritage Cup?
NXT UK Media catches up with A-Kid.
The Spanish Sensation is training and sparring, and he gets a nice heel hook takedown. But then Charlie Dempsey walks over and says he wants to talk with AK. AK tags out and rolls out. Dempsey says he was working out, saw AK over here doing that technique, and Dempsey was hoping AK would show it to him. Well, no, because then Dempsey would use it to take advantage of opponents. Dempsey knows AK saw him in there with Die Familie, but he’s not like that. Oh? Well- Rohan Raja attacks from behind?! Was this a set-up!? Dempsey has Raja and Teoman back off. What’re they doing? Dempsey stares down his brothers in arms, but then joins in!
Die Familie stomps away on AK until security gets in. Sid Scala is there, too, and he warns Die Familie. The damage has been done, did El Nino Anonimo just see the real Dempsey after all?
Isla Dawn speaks.
Or rather, sings as she clutches the flowers she stole from Meiko Satomura. “Go, go, watch my powers grow. Every prize I collect makes me grow~. Stronger, stronger than they know. The final prize, just within my reach~. Soon, soon, the Final Boss will fall and Isla Dawn will stand tall. Isla Dawn will stand tall~! I! I! Will stand tall~!” The Wicked Witch of NXT UK is coming for the title, but will the Best in the World defy this musical little prophecy?
NXT UK shares Moustache Mountain’s post match interview from last week.
First, congratulations to Trent Seven & Tyler Bate on the win. How are they feeling? Two words: “Cool jinkies.” And they are still NXT UK Tag Team Champions. Their first match, defense, and success. But Oliver Carter & Ashton Smith barge in. What was all that about? Uh, it was all about winning, that’s what. Swatting the ropebreak away is a win, huh? Seven has Carter calm down. Seven knows how hard he had to work to get the tag titles, and how hard he’ll work to keep the tag titles. So he’ll do anything he has to. That wasn’t cheating, that wasn’t a trick, it was just being better. That’s enough, man. Two in a row against you guys, that’s it.
Carter says it’s not over yet, but Smith has him stop. Whatever that was, Moustache Mountain has been in the exact same spot as them. Seven & Bate didn’t get it right the first time, either, so that means Smith & Carter deserve one more try. Bate does agree with that. He’s a sucker for second chances. What’d they be without second chances? So Smith & Carter getting a rematch, no problem. They’ll run it back. And if Moustache Mountain wins that time, then so be it. They moustache fist bump and Carter says no more politeness. Will the hottest tag team in NXT UK look to make good on their mulligan?
Jack Starz & Dave Mastiff VS Pretty Deadly!
After taking on the Bomber Challenges to get his “cut,” it seems Starz has proven himself worthy! Mastiff presents Starz with his very own vest, and now this duo is starting to look more like a team! Will they use all their Bomber strength, stamina and guts to get one over on Sam Stoker & Lewis Howley? Or will the former NXT UK Tag Team Champions prove it takes more than just coordinated outfits to win?
The teams sort out and Mastiff starts against Howley. Howley and Stoker talk strategy and then Howley circles with Mastiff. They tie up, and Mastiff powers Howley around. Mastiff shoves Howley away, then eggs him on. They tie up again, Howley tries but Mastiff stays put. Mastiff then pushes Howley back to ropes, and the ref calls the break. Howley shoves Mastiff, then they tie up again. Howley headlocks, but Mastiff powers out. They ram shoulders and Mastiff doesn’t budge! Stoker distracts Mastiff, Howley gives him a knee to the thigh, aka dead leg! Howley runs, rams Mastiff, and Mastiff drops to a knee!
Tag to Stoker, Pretty Deadly both ram Mastiff! Mastiff stays up, and he RAMS them both back! Mastiff drags Stoker over, tags Starz in, and Starz wrenches Stoker to YANK the arm. Starz wants to tag back but Mastiff tells him just to stay on Stoker! Starz ducks Stoker’s haymaker to get around and headbutt low. Starz snapmares and runs to uppercut Stoker in the back! Cover, TWO! Starz drags Stoker back, now Mastiff tags in. Stoker RAMS into Stoker, Mastiff EuroUppers Stoker down. Mastiff CLUBS Starz, scoops him and SLAMS him! Mastiff sits Stoker up, Starz tags in. Mastiff SENTONS, Starz SPLASHES! Cover, TWO!
Starz drags Stoker up to CLUB him down, brings him around and EuroUppers. Tag to Mastiff, they mug Stoker again. Mastiff whips Stoker to the open corner but Stoker elbows back. Tag to Howley and Howley goes up, leaps into a BIG body shot! Starz wants in but Mastiff says he’s got this and he CLUBS Howley! Then BOOTS him down! Now Mastiff tags Starz, they mug Howley, and Starz wrenches. Starz YANKS the arm, whips Howley, but Howley reverses. Starz goes up and over and fires off dropkick after dropkick! Starz arm-drags and has the cording hold! Howley flails, Starz covers, TWO!
Starz keeps on the arm but Howley fights up. Howley throws body shots, he scoops but Starz slips out. Stoker tags in off the O’Conner Roll and he POSTS Starz! Starz falls to the floor, Stoker goes out to fetch him, and RAM him into the apron! Stoker puts Starz in, stays between Starz and Mastiff, and he stomps away on Starz. Stoker CLUBS Starz to the ropes, tags Howley in, and Pretty Deadly double whip to shoulder Starz down! “Yes Boy~!” They both run, LEG DROP SPLASH COMBO! Cover, TWO! Howley stomps Starz, sits him up and CLUBS him in the head. And again! Howley brings Starz up but Starz throws body shots.
Howley knees low, tag to Stoker, chicken wing lift and BULLDOG! Howley sucker punches Mastiff while Stoker covers, TWO! Mastiff is angry but the ref keeps him back. Stoker drags Starz over, tag to Howley. Pretty Deadly mug Starz, and Howley puts Starz in a corner for knee after knee. Howley whips Starz corner to corner hard, and Starz bounces off the buckles! “Yes Boy~!” Tag to Stoker, and Pretty Deadly stands Starz up for more mugging. Stoker stands on Starz’s head, then stomps him to a corner. Stoker scoops and SLAMS Starz hard! Cover, TWO! Stoker clamps on with a chinlock and Howley talks trash.
Starz fights his way up and fans rally. Starz throws body shots, then he elbows Howley! Stoker ROCKS Starz, whips him to a corner, and hits a big uppercut! Tag to Howley, Pretty Deadly coordinate. Mastiff shoulders Howley as he tries to sucker punch again! Stoker doesn’t see that, so he catapults Starz at Howley, and Starz uses that to sunset flip! TWO!! Starz almost had it, but he dodges Howley to hot tag Mastiff! Mastiff rallies on Howley, back drops him, then waistlocks. The ref keeps Stoker out while Howley fights free. Howley runs, but into another back drop! Mastiff roars and glares at Stoker before bringing Howley up.
Howley powers Mastiff to ropes, Stoker tags in! Pretty Deadly play leap frog with Mastiff, then Stoker gets Mastiff for a DDT! Stoker shouts, “We’re the team!” Howley throws Starz’ vest to Stoker! Stoker says Starz hasn’t earned this! But Mastiff CLOBBERS Stoker then DECKS Howley! Mastiff GERMAN SUPLEXES Stoker! Starz shouts to Mastiff, and Mastiff gives him the hot tag! Starz fires off EuroUppers on Stoker! Starz pulls the vest off Stoker, puts it on himself, and throws big shoulder tackles! He DECKS Howley, CLOBBERS Stoker, and fires off in the corner! The ref counts, Starz lets off at 4, and he sees Howley coming!
Starz throws Howley out, but Stoker kicks low. Stoker reels Starz in, but Starz slips free of the bomb to get Stoker up! POWERBOMB! High stack, Starz & Mastiff win!
Winners: Dave Mastiff & Jack Starz, by pinfall
Even Mastiff is shocked! Starz showed even more Bomber power than we knew he had! Is this just the beginning of these two going for those NXT UK Tag Team titles?
NXT UK Media catches up with Xia Brookside.
She huffs and puffs and tells them she doesn’t have time for this right now. Get out! She’s busy! She sits down on the steps and calls her dad. “Daddy! I lost another match last week, and I just came out of Sid Scala’s office, and he’s saying that it’s my fault! But it’s not my fault, is it, Daddy? Well, anyway… I was kind of wondering if maybe you could help me. I know you know someone, and I was just wondering if you could find out of they could help me? Okay, thank you, Daddy! You’re the best daddy in the world.”
Xia’s mood is better, until she sees the camera was spying on her. Were they filming this?! That was private! Xia’s back to being pouty, but just who is this person Xia’s having her father call in a favor from?
“I trusted you.”
“We were part of a pack. You left me to rot. But I survived. I skulked away, hid myself away, and survived. There was a time where I thought I would rot away, fade away. I did anything it took to survive. For you, the hunt is over. For me, the hunt has just begun.” Is WILD BOAR back?!
NXT UK looks at next week’s Heritage Cup match.
Joe Coffey knows it’s him and Noam Dar. Noam says Joe has made the mistake of sliding into Noam’s lane. Joe says there is nothing more the Gallus boys love than a cup. It’ll be Joe’s first British Round Rules match, and if he knows Noam, Noam will be very confident. Noam says Joe should’ve stuck to “playing beep beep in mommy ‘n’ daddy’s car with those paper gangsters” he calls family. Joe talks about the big fight feel, and of course it is, because he has the champ’s attention. Joe says he’ll look Noam eye to eye and see who really wants this. No one has put more time into the Heritage Cup than Supernova 11. But will this be another big fight failure for Joe Coffey?
Noam says Joe is as dumb as he looks, and is going to walk him in two rounds. Coffey says to slash the odds. There will only be one outcome: GBOT. Will this clash of Scots be one for the record books?
NXT UK Championship: Ilja Dragunov VS Nathan Frazer!
The Czar and British Prodigy grew up in very different places, but their journeys do have parallels. They both know what it is like to battle Der Ring General with everything they have and still lose. However, only Dragunov knows what it is to have battled that behemoth and win. Will Frazer find himself walking the same path as Dragunov? Or will he shock the world and overcome UNBESIEGBAR?
The introductions are made, the title is raised, and we see which path the prodigy will walk!
The two circle and go around. They tie up, Dragunov wrenches, wrings the arm out but Frazer rolls through. They circle again, tie up, and Dragunov is again after the arm. Frazer resists the takedown so Dragunov hooks a leg, and hits a sambo throw! Cover, TWO, but Dragunov has a headlock. Frazer endures, fights up, and powers Dragunov to a corner. The ref counts, Frazer lets off cleanly, but then he gets the headlock! Dragunov throws Frazer again! Dragunov has the headlock back, but Frazer keeps his shoulders up. Frazer fights up, powers up but can’t power out as Dragunov holds tight.
Frazer throws body shots, then powers out, only for Dragunov to run him over! But Frazer kips right up! So Dragunov scoops and SLAMS him! Dragunov takes a moment to catch his breath, but Frazer KANGAROO KICKS him away! The two go to opposite ends, Dragunov runs in but Frazer dodges, hurdles, redirects and goes up and over in the corner! Frazer just keeps going, BIG flying forearm! And a dropkick! Dragunov gets to a corner and Frazer runs in, but is put on the apron. Frazer ROCKS Dragunov, climbs up top, and he leaps over Dragunov. Frazer comes back to ROCK Dragunov again with more forearms!
Dragunov DECKS Frazer with one! Dragunov snarls and checks his chin. The ref checks Frazer but he’s okay to continue. Dragunov drops knees on him from all sides, then drags him back up. Dragunov CLUBS Frazer on the back, and he even has to shake out his arm after that one. Dragunov sits Frazer up for a cobra clutch but Frazer endures. Frazer reaches out, Dragunov drags him up and ripcords for a BIG forearm! Frazer is down again and Dragunov brings him up. Dragunov RAMS Frazer into the corner, CHOPS him, then bumps him off buckles. Dragunov CHOPS him again!
Dragunov whips corner to corner, runs in, but Frazer BOOTS him away! Frazer goes out, springboard feints, but Dragunov comes back to BOOT him down! Dragunov drags Frazer up, Frazer resists but Dragunov still hip tosses him into the ring! Frazer flounders, Dragunov runs and SPINNING CHOPS Frazer down! Cover, TWO!! Dragunov sits Frazer up again for the cobra clutch. Frazer endures, but Dragunov grinds him down into the mat. Frazer fights up but Dragunov slams him back down. Frazer still fights up, but Dragunov ripcords again. Frazer dodges one lariat but not the LEFT!
Dragunov watches Frazer get to the ropes, and he gets the legs. Dragunov YANKS Frazer up, but Frazer lands on his feet to PELE! Just like mentor, Seth Rollins! Dragunov sits down, Frazer hurries to get to a corner! Frazer goes up, but Dragunov SLAPS him down! Dragunov ROCKET LAUNCHES Frazer off the top! Dragunov aims from the corner, Frazer slowly rises, but Dragunov rushes in. Waistlock and GERMAN SUPLEX! Dragunov holds on, and he GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Dragunov is looking like Brock Lesnar with a third GERMAN SUPLEX! But Frazer lands on his feet!!
Frazer flounders against ropes, Dragunov runs in but Frazer dodges. QUEBRADA misses as Dragunov steps back! Dragunov gets Frazer with a Gotch hold, ELEVATED Single Leg Suplex! Bridging cover, TWO!! Frazer survives but Dragunov just SENTONS down onto him! And back to the cobra clutch! Frazer endures as Dragunov makes it part stretch. Frazer fights up, Dragunov ripcords again but Frazer SUPERKICKS! Dragunov rebounds, into a RANA! Cover, TWO!! Dragunov escapes and Frazer can’t believe it! Frazer gets up, Dragunov shoots in to waistlock. Frazer blocks, switches and shoves, then follows!
Dragunov tiger feints through ropes, but Frazer QUEBRADAS, to dragon sleeper, ELBOW DROP DDT! Both men are down and a standing count begins. Frazer is up at 6 of 10 and he brings Dragunov up. Dragunov breaks free to spin and CHOP the leg! Frazer falls over and Dragunov rains down forearms! Dragunov drags Frazer up but Frazer ROCKS him back! PELE from Dragunov! Dragunov shakes out the cobwebs, he storms up behind but Frazer slips out the back! SLEEPER HOLD! Dragunov RAMS Frazer into buckles, then throws him off! But Frazer avoids the ax handle drop! Dragunov clutches his elbow, Frazer runs in to SLINGBLADE!
Both men are down again, but they’re rising. Frazer brings Dragunov up to ROCK him again! Dragunov ROCKS Frazer back! Frazer falls over but Dragunov clutches the elbow. Dragunov brings Frazer up, Frazer ROCKS him again! Dragunov hits back but that’s his bad arm! Frazer fires off forearm sin return, but Dragunov CHOPS! The bad arm still takes damage! Frazer takes aim, Dragunov blocks the superkick, but with the bad arm! SUPERKICK returns! And then BASEMENT SUPERKICK! High stack, TWO!! Dragunov survives again and Frazer is beside himself! Another standing count begins, but Frazer’s up fast.
Frazer goes to the corner, climbs up top again, but Dragunov CHOPS him again! Dragunov fights through the pain, ROCKET LAUNCHER, but Frazer lands on his feet and rolls through! Frazer fires up, he and Dragunov DOUBLE LARIAT! They stay up so the DOUBLE LARIAT! And DOUBLE LARIAT! CONSTANTINE SPECIAL!! But that’s still Dragunov’s beat up right arm! Dragunov can’t make the cover, but he goes to a corner. Dragunov climbs now, but Frazer dropkicks him first! Frazer hurries up to join Dragunov, but Dragunov blocks the Super Steiner! Dragunov gets Frazer up, SUPER- STEINER!! Frazer turns bomb into rana!
Frazer hurries to get to the other corner! PHOENIX SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!!! Dragunov survives and Frazer is in disbelief! BT Sports Studio says “This is Awesome!” while both men grit their teeth and go towards the other. Frazer ROCKS Dragunov with a forearm, then again! Dragunov comes back, Frazer ROCKS him a third time! But Dragunov still blocks! Frazer jumps up, into a POWERBOMB! High stack, TWO!! FALLING FOREARM!! Cover, TWO!?!? How did Frazer survive either of those?! Dragunov doesn’t let that stop him, he goes back to a corner. Dragunov says he is champion, but Frazer KICKS the bad arm from below!
Frazer KICKS the arm again, but Dragunov uses the good one. Frazer ROCKS Dragunov with haymaker after haymaker, but Dragunov returns fire! Dragunov waistlocks but Frazer elbows free! Frazer switches, to GERMAN SUPLEX Dragunov back! Frazer runs, into a LARIAT from Dragunov! Pain means nothing to Dragunov as he drags Frazer up for palm strike after palm strike! DISCUS PALM STRIKE! Frazer flounders but Dragunov brings him back up! Dragunov runs, TORPEDO MOSCOW!! Cover, Dragunov wins!
Winner: Ilja Dragunov, by pinfall (still NXT UK Champion)
The Czar proves he was right! As much as Frazer gave, Dragunov had more to give! But Dragunov shows his respect by helping Frazer up, and shaking his hand. Is this a sign that Frazer is on the right path to becoming a champion one day? As for Dragunov, will nothing stop his violent reign atop NXT UK?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for NXT UK, and with only three matches this time. Mark VS Sha was a very good opener, a very good win for Mark, but it doesn’t really affect the math on Joe Coffey VS Noam Dar for the Heritage Cup. Joe and Noam had a good promo vignette, and they’re going to have a great match for the Cup, but I honestly can’t be sure Joe wins. I honestly don’t know if anyone in NXT UK is going to take that cup off Dar. Isla Dawn has a good vignette, she’s a pretty good singer. But while her match with Meiko Satomura will be great, I don’t see the Final Boss losing. If not for the freak accident injury, I wonder if Blair Davenport was going to win.
We got a decent segment out of A-Kid and Die Familie, but it does set up AK VS Dempsey. Maybe through that match, AK breaks through to Dempsey and gets him to leave Die Familie. Then AK and Dempsey can be an incredibly technical and exciting team in the tag division. Moustache Mountain and Smith-Carter had a good interaction backstage to set up one more match between them, and that rematch could be Match of the Year level. I did like Seven planting that seed of wanting to do whatever it takes to retain, that could really add dimension to the character elements of the match.
Starz & Mastiff VS Pretty Deadly was great stuff, too. I liked that there was a breakthrough on the dysfunction between Starz and Mastiff, where they had to call out whether they’d tag each other, and then Mastiff gives Starz that last tag and Starz just goes off. Commentary was saying it and I agree, these guys can be seen as the next challengers after the Moustache Mountain VS Smith-Carter rematch happens. Xia Brookside calling Daddy Robbie Brookside makes sense, Xia continues to do a great job with this spoiled daughter persona, and I am very curious to see who is going to help Xia in the next part of her career.
WILD BOAR IS COMING BACK! That’s awesome to hear since he’s been out with injury for roughly a year now. That vignette dropped all the hints, he is totally going after Symbiosis. And then we got an awesome main event, Frazer had his best match yet against Dragunov, and I love that we see more innovation out of both of these guys. I said it before when he was Ben Carter, I’ll say it here again, Frazer is definitely the future of pro-wrestling. Dragunov is still champion because he is just getting his own awesome reign going, but you can bet Frazer will come back around at some point.
My Score: 8.7/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 6.19.25
Are we going to start trending upwards with Slammiversary to build toward?

Last week’s episode was lacking in ring work but had decent story moments and segments. Starting the build to Slammiversary we can either launch nicely or things can always get worse. Jason Hotch and KC Navarro are the real shining stars of the last few months, so lets hope once they get over this Leon Slater idiot ship, they can push X Division wrestlers with actual talent for pro wrestling and not just flippy charisma vacuums.
Oh and let’s not forget, it is the episode they celebrate the 23rd anniversary of TNA! TWENTY – THREE!! Somewhere PCO hates this.
.@Kelly_WP is back in TNA Wrestling and has a message for TNA Knockouts World Champion @mashaslamovich!

Results:
Sami Callihan vs Eric Young w/Losers
Sami knocks them all off the apron before the bell rings, he levels the loser children, finds a chair, attacks EY but EY counters and this is the excuse to use weapons since the bell didn’t ring yet. EY tries to break Sami’s hand on the steps with the chair, but Sami moves, throws EY back in the ring, bell rings and EY hits a Belly to Belly suplex for two. They slug it out, Sami goes for Headbutts, then Sami wants to run the ropes but a loser trips him, distracts long enough for EY to knock him out of the ring and loser children swarm as loser children do. EY does the classic, throw back out for losers to attack while EY grabs and distracts the ref. Sami is selling a few lame attacks from the losers like he got shot. It’s an excessive sell, so it’s honestly a dumb transitional moment.
EY levels Sami, Lariat into Scoop Slam, looks for the Macho Elbow but Sami hits the ropes to crotch EY. Sami Superplex time, but EY bites the face to make Sami drop, EY jumps at him but eats a straight right hand. Cactus Driver, but no, EY tries his Piledriver…they both gouge eyes at the same time, Sami catches an EY charge into a Flatliner as they’re both down…for…reasons? The selling in this match seems…poorly timed and kinda stupid. Hard Irish Whip, EY Flair Flips the corner, levels Sami, Macho Elbow for 2.9! EY threatens to hit the ref, but then goes to mad dog commentary. EY then wants to attack fans…he’s more unhinged than World Elite EY. Sami gives him the old Dick Twist into a Stunner but only for two! Losers try to distract, first one gets taken out, second one uses a chair, EY hits the Piledriver on Sami, EY wins.
I feel like this is gonna continue for a few weeks since it wasn’t a clean win.Â
Mustafa Ali’s group comes out, and I refuse to say the name because it’s dumb and they’re already fraying at the seams. Ali wants an apology session, Tasha and Hotch apologize to him but Skyler bites back and refuses, even shoved Ali. So Ali challenges him to a “Call to Arms” match. What in the hell is a Call to Arms match?Â
Lei Ying Lee & Masha Slamovich vs The Elegance Clique w/M & Personal Concierge
ASH does her borderline racist fake karate before Lei stares her down and tags in Heather. Heather avoids Lei, Lei throws a few Tornado Kicks to make a point and Heather tags out. Heather being 4’8″ helps her here. Concierge says “There’s no Karate in wrestling”. ASH, Lei and Masha are in the ring, ASH is trying to decide who she wants to face, but the Concierge google translated it and hands it to ASH, before the face team rocks ASH. Masha lifts up Lei and Lei does the Liu Kang Bicycle Kick, steering more into her Mortal Kombat aesthetic. Senton off the apron from Lei and Masha dives into the pile, the comedy heels are getting leveled. We go to commercial and come back with Lei getting Double Teamed but she spins it into a weird Neckbreaker..but can’t tag out just yet. Lei blocks Heather, Enzuigiri, simultaneous tag, Masha is Yakuza kicks for all and the 2 for 1 Lariat/DDT special. Near fall, but Masha goes for murder, but Heather breaks it, Rocket Launcher/Code Breaker from Elegance but Lei breaks up the pin. ASH tries to intimidate Lei with her fake Karate before throwing her out of the ring. Heather hits Lei with a handful of Glitter and then bounces her face off the post. Masha tries to stop ASH, Kelly’s music distracts Masha, Rarefied Air gives ASH the win.
Santino comes out and GOD DAMMIT no one wants to see Tommy Dreamer fight Mance Warner…that’s a useless thing. Pivot away…no one wants this. Oh no, now we have to listen to Steph talk too. Okay it seems to be a pivot, thankfully. Steph and Mance talk shit, Dreamer says something about Something is gonna happen…and Jake Something comes out. So…I guess we’re gonna build him up for 2 months and then job him out for 6 before he fucks off to his home galaxy or whatever?Â

Really wish Indi just opened with the Billy Butcher classic of, “Oi Cunt!” – but this wasn’t bad.Â
Eddie Edwards & JDC w/Alisha & Brian Myers vs Matt Cardona & Home Town Man
I hate… Cardona so much more now. Heel reasons for Cardona…go away heat for Deaner.
JDC wants the Home Town Man to start…and Deaner does his stupid Flip Flop and Fly, Cardona tags in, JDC is eating some offense, Cardona wants the Reboot, JDC powders, Cardona Dives but then Lish and the general numbers catch up to Cardona. Eddie is legal, and now they isolate Cardona with some decent tandem work and isolation. This turns into kind of a schmoz, lots of silly spots, near falls and then Home Town doofus gets the cradle pinfall on Eddie.
Whenever Deaner is involved I can’t be asked to care. The System beats Cardona and Deaner down, but Eddie did eat a pin. Which is embarrassing not even for work reasons, like it’s just sad.
Champion’s Challenge: The Rascalz, Joe Hendry, Leon Slater & Elijah vs The Kaiba Boys, Moose, Steve Maclin & Trick Williams
Elijah and Nic start things off, slow push off, arm wring, top wristlock, simple chain wrestling start. Nic breaks the chain and hits a Dropkick, Elijah runs the ropes and hits a Diving Lariat and starts the Rope Walk. Nic seems far to awake and alert for that move then, I hate how people pull that off too early. Wentz gets tagged in, Nic tags in Maclin who wasn’t looking for a tag, but him and Wentz have a nice clash, Trey tags in, they try to double him, but they pause and look at each other. Maclin asks for a tag, no one tags him so he Chops Ryan to tag him in and throws him in.
The little nod to Maclin and Rascalz history and the fact the faces realize Maclin isn’t a piece of shit. A little MCMG homage tandem attacks on Ryan, Wentz punctuates with the Handspring Knee Lift, Ryan tags out to Trick. Trick and Wentz go back and forth, Rascalz have Trick eating offense, Moose tries to slow things down, both Trick and Moose powder, Rascalz Double Golden Triangle Moonsaults. Trey gets tripped by Nic, Moose hits Lights Out, but there’s no referee so it’s a little chaotic.
Out of the commercial things are controlled kinda and we see a simultaneous tag to Moose and Leon. Leon comes out hot, level Moose with a Leg Lariat, attacks Nic Nemeth, attacks Ryan, and then Moose hits Leon with the Stun Gun. Moose looks to tag in Maclin but Maclin jumps off the apron. Trick takes the tag, keeps control, Trick forcibly tags in Maclin but Ryan tags himself in and pulls Leon to the Champions’ corner, Nic tags in and isolates Leon, with the Kaibas quick tagging and keeping Leon down.
Moose tags in, tries to Suplex Leon about four times but Leon stops it then counters the Suplex. Moose tries to cut him off, but the Champions distract the ref so the ref can’t see Leon tag out. Nic and Moose doubling up and Leon is the bump guy of this last portion of the match. Big Uranage from Moose…Moose looks for Lights Out but Small Package almost ruined things, Body Scissors Cradle, GAME CHANGER! Moose looks to hit a Jacknife Powerbomb but Leon turns it into a DDT. Maclin and Ryan start fighting, Nic Superkicks Maclin, Hendry and Nic tag in, Hendry is a house of fire. Sack of Shits for everyone! Nic, Ryan, there’s a pause when Hendry is face to face with Trick and Trick gets Uppercuts first then Sack of Shit! Standing Ovation on Nic, but Ryan blocks, Kaibas try a tandem attack but Hendry Lariats them both. Elijah tags in and is the maestro of the crowd and chopping Ryan to some fun. Ryan goes for a Polish Hammer but eats the Knee Lift. Signature spam time…
Ryan tries to use the International title but Maclin grabs the title away from Ryan, clocks Nic, Standing Ovation into the Highwayman’s Farewell. Champions lose!
Overall Score: 4/10
Well this was a rough one boys and girls. Sami and EY was just an overbooked shitshow, Lei Ying Lee is unfortunately in a spot where it’s obvious TNA has no clue how to use her, the Elegantos are the New Beautiful People, and I’m not mad at that. But you need to space out your goofball crap. You can’t have Elegance Clique, Home Town Moron and Santino in 3 consecutive segments. And if anyone goes “it was 3 out of 4” that’s doesn’t lessen my point, the beauty of Pro Wrestling being a variety show is…FOR VARIETY! When the lead match feels stupid because of bad pacing, poor selling and overbooking with two losers, it feels like a useless match with idiots, then comedy, followed by more comedy…you see how that’s literally NOT VARIETY.
Figure it out seriously. This was a disappointing episode. If you’re a casual viewer than it’s just chalk for TNA doing cringe and borderline goof crap since they’ve always steered a little more into the carny than other companies. But this show was…where’s Jisoo and Jenny? I feel like I need that gif:

Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty w/ Trish Adora VS Anthony Gangone & Sal Mistretta!
The full force of Shane Taylor Promotions will be felt tonight! Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are in tonight’s main event, but that leaves Big Bad Shaney T Boy and #TAIGASTYLE to open the night. Will they prove that ROH now belongs to STP? Or will Mr. Sleep & #SturdySal show they can rumble, bad man, rumble?
The teams sort out and Lee starts against Gangone. The bell rings and Lee LEG LARIATS Gangone! The fans fire up and Lee says, “Get over here!” Lee puts Gangone in a corner, fires hands, then JUMP KNEES! Lee drags Gangone up and the fans rally behind him. Lee wrenches, and wrenches, then hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Tag to Shane but Gangone ROCKS Lee! Gangone gets away to tag in Sal. Shane and Sal step up as fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Sal ROCKS Shane, but then Shane brushes that off. Shane grins, the fans tell Sal he messed up, and Shane HEADBUTTS Sal! Sal wobbles while Shane shouts, “The hell is wrong with you, chump?”
Shane then YANKS Sal in for the URENAGE! The fans fire up and want that again, but Shane drags Sal around by a leg. Shane says why not. Ripcord and URENAGE! The fans fire up behind Shane and he rolls Sal so he can KNEE him back down! The fans chant for “S T P! S T P!” Shane winds up but Gangone runs in! Lee intercepts for the BORDER CITY STRETCH! Shane says STP reigns supreme! HAYMAKER!! Cover, STP wins!
Winners: Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty, by pinfall
Shane reminds us that he is coming for everything! Everything! Will it be just this easy for STP to own ROH?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
ROH joins in on the crossover with CMLL as next week is Global Wars: Mexico! Lee Moriarty will be in action against none other than THE Blue Panther! Then, Athena & Red Velvet take on Thunder Rosa y Persephone in a dream tag team match! Will the champions of ROH stand tall in Arena Mexico? Or will there be golden tickets handed out left and right?
Pure Rules Match: Deonna Purrazzo VS Marti Belle!
While the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament still needs a full bracket, the Virtuosa is going to keep herself sharp for when she needs to strike. But will there be another masterpiece put together here tonight? Or will Marti prove she herself deserves a chance at making history?
The Code of Honor is upheld and the bell rings. We have 15 minutes as the two circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and then Deonna kicks an arm to wrangle Marti with the top wristlock. Marti rises up, rolls, and wrenches to wristlock. Deonna wrenches and headlocks to hit the takeover. Marti endures, fights up, powers out, but Deonna RUNS her over! Deonna soaks up the cheers and jeers, runs, then steps over Marti’s dropdown to “kick dirt” at her. Deonna eggs Marti on and the two reset. They tie up, Marti waistlocks but Deonna switches. Marti switches, lifts, but Deonna fights. Deonna ELBOWS free, then goes after Marti in the corner.
Deonna whips corner to corner, runs up, but Marti slips outside. Deonna ROCKS Marti first, soaks up more cheers and jeers, then runs, only for Marti to dodge the dropkick! Marti fires forearms, whips, but Deonna reverses and throat chops! Deonna sends Marti into steel steps! The fans are torn but Deonna wants the ring count. Deonna says it is just too easy, and Marti is rising up as the count starts. Deonna eggs Marti on, the fans rally, and Marti huffs ‘n’ puffs. Marti rolls in at 5 of 20 but Deonna stomps away! The ref counts, Deonna stops at 4, and Deonna wrenches. Deonna YANKS Marti’s arm, then wrenches again to YANK it!
Marti clutches the arm but Deonna reels her into a facelock. Marti fights the suplex, makes it a cradle, ONE!! Deonna runs up, Marti rolls her up, TWO! Marti spins and ROLLING ELBOWS! Deonna falls and the fans fire up! Deonna goes to a corner, Marti runs in, but Deonna dodges! Marti hits buckles, then Deonna blocks a boot to THROW Marti down! Deonna has the arm and the leg, then focuses on the arm to make a SACRIFICE! The fans are torn but Deonna feeds off it all. Deonna demands Marti to rise up, and as we hit four minutes, Deonna SOBATS, runs, and KNEE LIFTS into the RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!
Deonna rolls through, FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! Marti endures, reaches out, but Deonna grabs that arm, too! VENIS DE MILO!! Marti verbally quits and Deonna wins!
Winner: Deonna Purrazzo, by submission
Neither woman used a ropebreak in this match, and Deonna didn’t need to! At just four minutes and 24 seconds, Deonna finishes this. Will she not only become ROH Women’s Pure Champion, but do it in record time?
The Frat House speaks.
Jacked Jameson says, “Yeah, Johnny Hungy? Johnny Starving For Attention! You wanna come back and try and get one up on The Frat House? I don’t think so, pal! And Reynolds, you talking about I got a tiny package? I got a small package, in the ring, yeah! If you’re talking about this package, ask your girl!” Preston Vance says yes, good package. But Dark Order, Vance has hated them from the beginning. They call him a traitor when he just did something for himself for once. He hates Uno, he hates Reynolds, but the one he hates the most is Silver. Starving for attention, always has been, same guy since day one!
Dark Order wants a trios match? They’ll take you up on that. But remember the one rule: Win or lose, they BOOZE~! The Frat House marches off, cheering themselves on. But will they be humbled when Uno, Silver & Reynolds finally get a back on track?
Mark Sterling reviews footage with The Premier Athletes.
Smart Mark looks back at a loss The Premier Athletes suffered against the Sons of Texas, and he points out specifically when Dustin Rhodes grabbed him, TOSSED him, and that is assault on a ringside consultant. That is why Sterling has the cameras here. He wants to inform Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari that the State of Michigan sports authority agreed with him, that match was tainted and therefore expunged from their records, along with a few others. But then, that means they’re undefeated? Yes! Their record is spotless now! Daivari says he isn’t sure about them, but he was pretty confident he heard way less “Athletes Suck” chants than usual. Almost 50-50 out there.
Nese says Shop AEW has not seen a single soul buying the Athletes Suck shirt. Great news! And bad news for the rest of ROH. There is nothing scarier than a couple of athletes with momentum. They will take this momentum and go straight to the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Y’know why? Because Athletes RULE! Well, one thing these three haven’t lost is their confidence. But will legal loopholes and changing grades really turn them into champions?
8 Man Tag: The Infantry & Grizzled Young Veterans VS The Kingdom & Top Flight!
What interesting combinations on both sides. Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo are just as tough as Zack Gibson & James Drake but with far more energy and bravado, but then Matt Taven & Mike Bennett used to make Darius & Dante Martin go through hell! Which side can put aside their differences better and come out the victors?
Well it would seem STP & GYV can as they all attack The Kingdom & Top Flight! The fans boo and the bell rings, but GYV beat down Top Flight while Infantry beat down Kingdom, another grudge coming back to haunt Taven & Bennett! The ref reprimands but the tides turn a bit. Taven brawls with Bravo on the outside, Bennett fires hands on Dean, and the Martin brothers throw hands back on GYV! Taven SMACKS Bravo off the apron, Darius UPPERCUTS James Drake, and the teams finally sort out a bit. Bravo runs back in but Taven LARIATS Bravo and himself up and out! Darius whips Drake to a corner, then runs up, but into an ELBOW!
Drake runs up, Darius arm-drags and DROPKICKS! Darius brings Drake around, Dante tags in, and Top Flight coordinates. Darius takes a swing but Drake dodges, only for Dante to send him into Darius’ UPPERCUT! Dante adds a JUMP KNEE and Darius LARIATS! Cover, ONE, but Dante basement DROPKICKS! Dante keeps Drake from the corner to tag Taven. They mug Drake, then Taven ROCKS him. Taven whips, Drake reverses but Taven cartwheels! Taven dodges, springboard and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Taven then bypasses and DROPKICKS! The fans fire up because “IIII’M Matt Taven!” Bennett says the fans actually like Taven now.
Taven brings Drake up and into a headlock, but Drake pulls hair! Drake tags Gibson while he powers out, then he drops down for Gibson to trip Taven! Gibson drags Taven out, but Taven DECKS him! But then Drake DIVES onto Taven! The fans fire up and Infantry talks some trash. Gibson lifts Taven to SNAKE EYES off railing! Gibson puts Taven on the apron, and cravats for the neck wrench, and then a SLAM ono the apron! Taven sputters, Gibson stays between him and the corner, but the fans rally up. Taven fights the underhooks to fire body shots. Gibson keeps Taven back with a wristlock, and he tags in Drake!
Drake runs up, GYV double whip, and then they trap Taven in the corner. Drake ELBOWS Taven, Gibson UPPERCUTS, and then feed to the WHEEL KICK! Cover, TWO! Drake argues, but then he ROCKS Taven! Tag to Bravo and he RAMS into Taven! The Infantry mugs Taven, the ref counts and Bravo stops. Tag to Dean, and the Infantry double wrench to DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Dean throws off his shirt and drags Taven up. Dean scoops to put Taven in the Tree of Woe. Tag to Bravo and the Infantry stomp mudholes in! The fans boo, the ref counts, Gibson talks trash, but Infantry stops at 4.
The Infantry taunt Bennett & Top Flight before they DOBULE DROPKICK Taven outta the Tree! Cover, TWO! Bravo JABS, JABS, and then he BLASTS Top Flight! Bravo says they got nothing! But Taven scoops! Bravo slips free, but Taven HEEL KICKS! Both men crawl, hot tags to Darius and Dean! Darius rallies on Dean and GYV! Uppercut after uppercut then a whip! Dean reverses, but jumps into an atomic drop! Then the BULLDOG HOTSHOT! SUPERKICK for Gibson! GAMANGIRI for Dean! Then a step-in COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, Gibson breaks it! Dante whips Gibson but Gibson reverses. Dante goes out, up, around, and Gibson just keeps missing!
Dante GAMANGIRIS, then springboards to CROSSBODY! Bravo KNEES Dante, whips, but Darius is there to boost Dante up and over! Then Dante helps Darius hit the TORNADO DDT on Bravo! The fans fire up and Mike asks to be tagged in. Darius tags Mike and the fans fire up! Bennett CHOPS away on Dean! Gibson runs up, Bennett puts him in the corner and CHOPS away on them both Bravo runs up, Bennett puts him in the corner and CHOPS away on all three! The fans fire up as Drake runs up, but then Bennett spots him first! “You want some?!” Drake reconsiders but Bennett puts him in the corner, to CHOP away on all four!
The fans are fired up and Bennett brings Drake out to tag Taven. Gibson saves Drake, throat chops Mike, then clinches Taven. Drake ENZIGIRIS Taven! Dante DOUBLE CANNONBALLS GYV! Dean kicks Dante low, reels him in, and crosses the arms, DEPTH CHARGE! But Darius BOOTS Dean, then WALL WALK KICKS! Bravo runs up, kicks low, and runs to SCISSOR KICK! Bennett is back, fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Taven adds JUST THE TIP of the knee! Bennett says time to kill ’em! But Gibson Y ANKS Bennett out! Taven gives Drake a KICK O’ THE KING! Bennett and Gibson brawl that way, Taven hits FLIGHT OF THE CONQUEROR on GYV!

Dean shoves Darius, Darius slides but Dean hurdles over. Dean ROCKS Darius, Darius CHOPS Dean, Dean JUMP KNEES back! Dean fires up, but Darius blocks a kick and makes it a FISHERMAN BUSTER!
The fans fire up and Dante is up top! MAMBA SPLASH!! Cover, Top Flight & Kingdom win!
Winners: The Kingdom & Top Flight, by pinfall
Former rivals made great allies here and they came out on top! But with everyone wanting the ROH World Tag Team Championships, will The Kingdom and Top Flight have to battle it out like the old days? Or can they stay friendly in the race to the top?
My Thoughts:
A very good episode but I’m surprised this was only 37 minutes long. Even then, there were pretty obvious squash matches, like Archer beating Solo and Miyu beating Havok. Well, so was Shane & Lee winning, but opening matches aren’t skippable. Ok and Deonna was of course winning her Pure Rules match. Why didn’t TK just get the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament going by now so that the title match could be at Supercard? Good to hear about Global Wars: Mexico, though.
The Premier Athletes have a good promo, but they’re just getting sadder as a team if they have to keep “expunging” losses from their record as if that makes them winners. Frat House has a good promo to set up the Six Man Tag, and if ROH wasn’t such an afterthought, I’d love if they explored what Preston Vance said. He claims he never liked Dark Order, hates them all now, but what if leaving Dark Order, joining LFI, leaving LFI, and now forming the Frat House is all Vance grieving Mr. Brodie? He doesn’t have to rejoin Dark Order, he just has to come to terms with why he’s actually being so awful to his old friends and maybe turn Frat House around into Faces.
And very good 8 Man Tag main event, everybody looking good even though it was a rather short match. Good win for the Faces to keep Top Flight afloat and to get The Kingdom, or in this case #OGK, back on track. I would think Dustin & Sammy make quick work of the Premier Athletes, but maybe if we can get three or four teams in one match, that’d be a way to protect Dustin & Sammy while crowning new champions.
My Score: 8.7/10
