AEW International Championship: Orange Cassidy w/ Best Friends VS Dralistico w/ La Faccion Ingobernable!
Battle of the Belts Six is Freshly Squeezed! But after falling short to take the AEW World Trios Championships from the House of Black, will Cassidy be able to keep this title from the Prince of Silver & Gold? Or will this title be tranquilo?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and the first title battle begins!
Fans rally for “Freshly Squeezed!” but Dralistico bails out. Fans boo, Dralistico taunts them. Dralistico then slides into the ring, and throws his cloak at Cassidy! Fans boo but Cassidy doesn’t even react. Cassidy puts his hands up, but Dralistico puts them back down. Cassidy raises his hands again, but Dralistico puts them back down again. Cassidy tries a third time, Dralistico pushes them down and CHOPS! Dralistico ROCKS Cassidy, arm-drags, but Cassidy comes back to waistlock. Dralistico switches, Cassidy spins through, spins and arm-drags! Then he springboards to arm-drag, but Dralistico handsprings through!
Fans fire up for the quick exchange, and Cassidy just shakes his head. Dralistico eggs Cassidy on, and mocks his hand raising. Cassidy runs in but into a SOBAT! And knee lift! Dralistico whips, Cassidy reverses but Dralistico goes up and over! Things speed up, Dralistico RANAS and Cassidy bails out! Fans rally, Dralistico builds speed but then rolls back to tranquilo! Cassidy doesn’t really care but fans boo. Vance steps up to get in Best Friends’ faces, but Cassidy still doesn’t care. Trent and Chuck talk a little smack while Cassidy gets back in the ring. Cassidy blocks Dralistico’s chop to a knuckle lock!
Cassidy “chops!” Dralistico shakes his head, so Cassidy “chops” again! And again! Dralistico “chops.” Cassidy fires off “chop” after “chop,” then winds up, to CHOP! Cassidy knuckle locks again, goes up and up and jumps around, tightrope walks, he must’ve been watching Rey Fenix or somebody! Hand in pocket, then Cassidy jumps down, just to put the other hand in his pocket! Dralistico is annoyed, things speed up, Cassidy leaps and keeps moving to NO-HANDS ARM-DRAG! And then SHOTGUN! And kip up! Fans fire up and Cassidy fires up! Cassidy builds speed, sorta, to give a thumbs up!
Fans lose their minds for that one, but Dralistico is losing his cool. Cassidy climbs up, Rush distracts, and Jose trips him up! Best Friends are pissed, they brawl with Vance and Rush! Dralistico sees that, he rallies the fans and builds speed. Dralistico FLIES to wipe out Best Friends and his brother, Rush! Rush still beats on Trent, they brawl up the ramp! Chuck and Vance, too! Dralistico gets back in the ring, he CHOKES Cassidy in the corner and rains down fists! Dralistico CHOKES Cassidy with his boot, and AEW goes picture in picture!
The ref counts, Dralistico lets off at 4, and he pretends he can’t hear because of the crowd noise. Dralistco drags Cassidy onto ropes, to CHOKE and fishhook him! The ref counts, Dralistico lets off at 4, and then he brings Cassidy around to snapmare. Dralistico stomps away on Cassidy, then “snatches” his head to “punt” it to the crowd.

Double underhooks, Canadian Rack and a spin, but Cassidy turns it into a cradle! TWO!! Dralistico stands, into the ORANGE PUNCH!! Cover, Cassidy wins!!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall (still AEW International Champion)
Cassidy clutches his hand, hitting that punch that hard may have been double-edged. But Cassidy still won, and he still has the belt, but wait. The House of Black speaks! Malakai says, “Exceptional, Orange. See, I’ve always considered you to be quite… talented. So I’m glad to see that you got your win back, because I can tell that losing to the House was eating you alive. So good. Because we’re not done with you just yet.” Buddy Matthews steps up to say, “That being said, we were gracious enough to put our titles on the line. So how about you put up yours?” The challenge has been issued, will Freshly Squeezed still be a fighting champion?
Backstage interview with Mark Briscoe.
Lexi Nair is with the Sussex County Chicken and notes that his good friends, the Lucha Brothers, are defending their newly won ROH World Tag Team Championships. But let’s go back to Supercard of Honor, where Mark did suffer a heartbreaking loss to Samoa Joe. How is he holding up? “Well, Miss Lexi, let me ‘splain something to ya. Let me ‘splain what I’m not gonna do. I’m not gonna look back, I’m looking forward, baby! I’m moving forward, baby. I’m still here, there’s still a whole lotta fight in me, baby, and Dem Boys ain’t going nowhere!
“But tonight, my friends, my amigos, they gonna get it done in the ring.” But then Jay Lethal walks over and says, “Speaking of friends… Mark, how long have we known each other?” 20 years, at least. Yeah, just about. And Lethal knows exactly what losing to Joe feels like. But Lethal wants Mark to know that he didn’t let anyone down. And one reason only is the fact that we all love Mark. And every time Lethal thinks about their 20 year friendship, Lethal surely can’t be the only one who thinks, “How come we’re not working together?” Lethal says it’s a logical move. Why not work together?
Lethal offers a handshake, and Mark takes it! But then Team Triple J walks in! They’re welcoming him into the team?! Wait, what? Mark thought this was just about him and Lethal! Did Lethal sucker Mark into something he doesn’t wanna do?
AEW TBS Championship: Jade Cargill w/ Leila Grey & Mark Sterling VS Billie Starkz!
If you saw Rampage, you saw that mediation didn’t really go well between #ThatBitch and La Wera Loca. But Jade still says this is her show, so will she still be undefeated? Or will the 18 year old prodigy make a huge jump from ROH TV to AEW TBS Champion?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is really the star of the show!
The bell rings and Jade smirks at Billie. “This is who’s coming after my belt?” She doesn’t take Billie serious, but Billie gets in her face. Jade tells Billie this is not something she wants. But Billie SLAPS Jade!! So Jade DECKS Billie!! Jade bumps Billie off buckles, UPPERCUTS, then CLUBS her! Jade stomps Billie, brings her out of the corner, and she scoops Billie to BACKBREAKER!

Billie slumps down, but Jade drags her up to snap suplex to the floor! Jade kips up again and talks more smack. Jade refreshes the ring count, kicks Billie, then stalks her to railing. Jade CHOKES Billie on the railing, and makes sure the fans get a look at Billie’s face. Jade pushes Billie down, then brings her around. Billie throws body shots, but Jade CLUBS her down!

Jade avoids posting herself, to elbow Billie! But Billie shoves Jade into the POST! Jade hurries into the ring, Billie is after her, cover, TWO! Billie keeps her cool, and she goes after Jade.

Fans rally for Billie and she goes up top, to SWANTON BOMB onto knees!! Jade saves herself, chicken wings the arms, but Billie arm-drags free!! Billie runs, into a BOOT!

Alex Marvez is backstage.
He is outside The Elite’s private room while he notes how the Blackpool Combat Club has torn through them. Kenny Omega is not here, he is with Don Callis while Callis recovers. The Young Bucks are still out from the backstage blindside. So what is going on? Let’s find out. Only Brandon Cutler and Michael Nakazawa are here, what can they tell us about things? Well, as everyone can see, they’re the only ones here. Cutler’s road in too many ambulances and sat by way too many hospital beds lately. At this point, the BCC are just a bunch of bullies.
Cutler & Nakazawa are no strangers to that, but they have to ask, “What do you do when the people that stand up to bullies aren’t here anymore?” Cutler says you stand tall, don’t back down, and you be elite! As for Nakazawa, he says NO MORE! Will the Elite’s cameraman and production assistant fight the good fight? When and where will we see The Bucks again?
Mark Henry interviews tonight’s main eventers.
The World’s Strongest Man says Will Hobbs has been on a roll lately, even after aligning himself with the likes of QT Marshall. QT asks what Mark means by that. The likes of QT? And by the way, refer to him as “Powerhouse” Hobbs or “Champ.” And this match makes all the sense in the world. Hobbs beat Fenix, then he beat Penta. It only makes sense that Hobbs & QT will win the ROH Tag titles. “Right, Champ?” Hobbs tells Fenix & Penta, “What in the world makes you think you can defeat QT and myself? You couldn’t even get the job done singlehandedly for the TNT Championship. And like the saying goes, QT & Powerhouse Hobbs walk out tonight as the NEW ROH Tag Team Champions.”
Fenix says tonight, this is their first defense as ROH Tag Team Champions. And they are looking for revenge! Penta says in Spanish and Alex translates, “Tonight, we cancel QTV!” Because they are the best tag team in the universe, they have CERO! MIEDO! A-NI-MO! Well, it looks like there’s been enough talk. It’s TIME for the main event!
ROH World Tag Team Championships: The Lucha Brothers w/ Alex Abrahantes VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & QT Marshall!
Bobby Cruise is here to make the introductions, and the ROH titles are raised. Will the brothers succeed together where they failed alone? Or will the Book of Hobbs’ next chapter add even more gold to the collection?
The teams sort out, and Penta starts against QT. Fans rally for “CERO MIEDO!” and Penta nods. Penta and QT step up, and Penta has QT hold on. Penta swaggers up, “CERO! MIEDO!” and he pie faces QT.

Winners: The Lucha Brothers, by pinfall (still ROH World Tag Team Champions)
Team QTV tried every trick they could, but it wasn’t enough! QT got caught and lost, how will he make this up to Hobbs? As for Penta & Fenix, if this was their first defense, how much more intense will their title reign get?
My Thoughts:
A great Battle of the Belts event, and they also managed to slip in great story progression here like they did on Rampage. The International Championship was a great opener, but I figured Cassidy would win. Buddy Matthews stepping up to challenge Cassidy for that title is good stuff to continue the feud, and that match could go either way with the overbooking of House of Black and Best Friends getting involved. Great promo from Mark Briscoe and Jay Lethal, with Lethal pulling a really weird recruitment swerve. Mark will definitely not wanna hang out with Team Triple J for very long, but this is an intriguing story either way.
Absolutely great showing from Billie Starkz, I did not think they’d let her look that good against Jade. But at the same time, this shows AEW sees promise in Billie’s future, she could very well be a big name in the next couple of years. But Jade wins, of course, so that she and Taya can have it out. Taya showing Jade up here was good stuff, but Taya sure has stood tall in all the different segments against Jade and her team. No offense to Jade, but there has to come a time where she finally loses the belt, so maybe before she gets to 60-0 is the window. And good promo from Culter and Nakazawa, but they’re definitely getting mauled by the BCC next.
Great to see Mark Henry have his interview promo here like he used to have during Rampage, and then just an amazing main event for the ROH Tag titles. That was bordering on PPV levels, but as I said for Dynamite, ROH and Rampage, QT was definitely taking the loss in this, and that is what happened. Hobbs is great, but he won’t be a double champion so easily, and the Lucha Brothers weren’t going to lose their newly won titles so soon. Mostly because it also has to be to an ROH team that wins the ROH titles.
My Score: 8.8/10

Backstage interview with Billie Starkz.
Lexy Nair is with her ROH Minion buddy, and notes that Billie is the first ROH woman entered in the first ever WrestleDynasty International Women’s Cup! Billie, what an opportunity, how are you feeling? She is excited! This is the second chance she’s been waiting for, and- Red Velvet steps in to say more like NO chance. Because see, Velvet is also in that match, and well, she already beat Billie. So her odds are looking really good. But then in steps Leyla Hirsch. And she says lucky for them both, because Leyla’s in this! Leyla beat Velvet once, and just looking at Billie, Leyla knows she can beat her.
Oh but then in steps the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena! The Minion Overlord defends her bestie and Billie, and says it is finally time for the Athena World Tour! She is the fourth participant, even though, why does she have to qualify for HER show? Athena has beaten Velvet, she’s beaten “Small fry” Leyla, and well… Billie Goat, we all know Athena dog walked her! Velvet says Athena shouldn’t talk to Billie like that. Billie says “Cupcake” doesn’t need to defend her. Things are getting tense already, who wins their way into WrestleDynasty’s massive crossover match?
Backstage interview with QT Marshall.
Lexy is now with QT and says later int he Zero Hour, it is QT VS Big Boom AJ. QT took AJ out last night after the weigh-in, will it be the same here tonight? QT wants Lexy to remember, pronounce it “Mar-shall.” And yes, in QT’s home state of New Jersey, the best part will be QT remembering why he left. It’s a dump! Especially Newark! But AJ is also from New Jersey, and he properly represents this dump. Whether AJ is on the Tonight Show, on TikTok, or here in AEW, he is the epitome of someone from The Garden State: an embarrassment! He’s worse than Bruce Springsteen himself!
And tonight, in a sold out crowd that QT drew all himself, it will be like going to his high school reunion and showing how he is more successful than everyone else. And he’ll do that by walking to the ring, staring down AJ, and bringing the doom! Will QT Marshall make himself the boss of the Zero Hour? Or will it be a BOOM for all of New Jersey when QT loses?
New Year’s Day is a NEW ERA for AEW!
Starting Wednesday, January 1st, 2025, AEW Dynamite will be SIMULCAST on Max! And even bigger, it is the return of Fight for the Fallen! All proceeds go to helping victims of Hurricane Helene in Ashville, North Carolina.
Zero Hour – Fatal 4 Way: Dante Martin VS The Beast Mortos VS Komander VS Buddy Matthews!
Now this is going to be a fast ‘n’ furious match! Angel Dorado, the menacing minotaur, the Commander of Space and the Aussie Juggernaut are all fighting for opportunity, who makes that greater impact?

Rampage returns and…
Lexy Nair welcomes us back, while also welcoming us to the official Full Gear Zero Hour weigh-in. Please welcome first, QT Marshall! The fans boo as QT makes his return to AEW TV, and he shows off the “DOOM” logo on his track jacket. QT steps into the ring and now Lexy welcomes out Big Justice and Big Boom AJ! The fans cheer as the Costco Guys are here, giving out high-fives and fist bumps! QT is already annoyed but Lexy says before we get started, do either of them have something to say? QT steps up to say yes, he does! Enough with the “Boom,” first off! Tomorrow night, QT brings the doom!
QT told AJ 20 years ago that he didn’t have it. 20 years later, AJ still doesn’t have it! The fans boo but AJ just shrugs that off. AJ tells QT that QT’s been waiting those 20 years to get AJ in the ring. But AJ’s been waiting ever since QT tossed those double chunk chocolate cookies! The fans cheer that! But AJ says hold on, hold on. He’s got a special surprise for us. He wants someone real special to be at Full Gear to ring the bell when AJ rings QT’s bell and he Power-Booms QT through this ring. QT asks who. AJ says there’s only one guy that can be. They scratch their chins, and yes, it’ll be THE RIZZLER!!
QT is seething but the fans love it! QT gets to business by taking off the jacket and the sweatpants. QT steps on the scale, flexes, and we get the numbers on the tron: 229 pounds flat for QT! QT is all fired up, he’s bringing that heavyweight build. The fans fire up for AJ, “Bring the Boom! Bring the Boom!” Wait, what? 550?! AJ’s big but not THAT big. QT says this must be why he’s Big Boom AJ. Maybe he should laugh off the double chunk chocolate cookies. Big Justice steps up! And he says we all know QT rigged the scale! Right? Right? But see, that won’t matter when his dad brings that BOOM on Saturday night! Is QT ready?
QT steps up but AJ gets in QT’s way. QT takes a swing! AJ ROCKS QT first! AJ makes sure Big Justice is okay, but then QT hits the DIAMOND CUTTER! The fans boo but QT says that’s gonna be the DOOM! Will QT not care who or what Big Boom AJ brings to Full Gear? Or will he slammed on the mat for The Rizzler?
AEW takes a closer look at the AEW World Tag Team Championship Fatal 4 Way.
Malakai Black says, “Eight men, four destinies intertwined.” Anthony Bowens recaps: The Acclaimed, Kings of the Black Throne, Outrunners, and Private Party, fighting for the titles. Marq Quen says he and Zay worked SO damn hard for these titles. But The Outrunners are hard as a rock! Malakai says The House has a “trigger full of promises to deliver.” Bowens says they have everyone’s number, but The Outrunners feel they have nothing to lose! Malakai & Brody say come one, come all, for all shall perish! Zay promises he & Quen will do whatever it takes to leave Full Gear still your AEW World Tag Team Champions, and that’s a flex.
Juice Robinson VS The Butcher!
While everyone else, such as the Bang Bang Gang’s fearless leader, Jay White, gears up for Full Gear, Rock Hard Robinson is just looking to get a win. Butcher almost shoves him off the apron, will Butcher cause this Collision Cowboy to go off the rails? Or will it be Guns Up for the Reading, Pennsylvania Gold Members?
The bell rings and Juice ties up with Butcher. They’re in a deadlock and quickly go to the mat. They also quickly get back up, and Juice powers Butcher to a corner. The ref counts, they go along ropes, in a corner, then along more ropes. Butcher has Juice on the ropes but he lets off with a scuffing forearm. Juice has wild eyes to go with his wild hair, and he shoots in to headlock. Butcher powers up and out, they RAM shoulders, and Butcher doesn’t budge. Butcher eggs Juice on, but Juice grins. Juice stomps Butcher’s foot! Juice headlocks but Butcher fires body shots. Butcher powers up and out but Juice RAMS him!

The fans fire up while Butcher stalks Juice to a corner. Butcher stands Juice up to CHOP! The fans “WOO~” and then Butcher climbs up. Butcher says count along, but then Juice sips out before he even starts! Juice trips Butcher up, then climbs, and now fans get to count! Juice rains down fists all the way to nine, then winds up, to BITE Butcher for ten! But then Butcher DUMPS Juice to the floor! Butcher storms out after Juice to RAILING BACK SUPLEX!
Juice writhes more but Butcher drags him back up. Butcher throws Juice into the apron while Rampage goes picture in picture.

Butcher ROCKS Juice in the back again, and Juice drops to his knees as Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns as Butcher runs up, only for Juice to BOOT him! Juice then dodges Butcher, atomic drops and roars! Juice HEADBUTTS Butcher to the corner, but Butcher snarls! Butcher runs up, into a LEG LARIAT! Juice grits his teeth and the fans fire up. Juice pumps up, takes aim, and he JABS! JABS! JABS! Juice roars, and Butcher falls for the left hand feint! DDT! Juice adds a SENTON, then covers, TWO! Butcher is tough but Juice grins. The fans rally up and Juice watches Butcher go to a corner. Juice runs up to LARIAT! Juice calls his shot, goes corner to corner, and back again, but Butcher throws him back! LARIAT!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans fire up but Butcher is furious! Butcher drags Juice up, reels him in, and hits a BIG back suplex, only for Juice to land out! Roll up, with a bridge! TWO, and Juice hurries away. Butcher rises, runs up, but Juice drop toeholds him into buckles! Juice gets moving, CANNONBALL! The fans fire up with Juice and Juice pumps up. Butcher rises, into the JAB! JAB! JAB!

Winner: Juice Robinson, by pinfall
And that’s one for Bullet Club Gold! Will Jay White look to do just as much damage to Hangman Page? Or will the Blackhat Cowboy still be number one with a bullet?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
There will be no Friday Night Rampage next week, because it will be a BACK-TO-BACK Rampage & Collision Saturday night! Make sure your DVR is ready for three hours of AEW action!
Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Lexy is with La Mera Mera and brings up how next week will be an ALL LUCHA Rampage. That must be exciting. Rosa is beyond excitement! It is about time they get some lucha libre to spice up Rampage. Atlantis Jr, Hechicero, and the return of Mystico! C’mon, now! Well what about Rosa? Yes, what about Rosa? Rosa hasn’t had a true lucha match in awhile, but why not? An open challenge for any luchadora or female wrestler that wants after La Mera Mera! In steps Harley Cameron, wearing a Hologram mask, and putting on a robot voice. “Greetings. I am famed luchadora, Harley-gram, the female counterpart to Hologram.”
Rosa is trying not to laugh as “Harley-gram” officially accepts the open challenge. Rosa tells Harley-gram that she looks familiar. Like a certain someone she beat two weeks ago. Does not compute with Harley-gram. Okay, fine. Compute this: Next week, Rosa will yank her cord and shut her down! OH SHUT UP! What? Uh… Danger! Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! “Harley-gram” runs off and Rosa asks if this is really happening. Rosa sighs, but will she just have to reboot Harley back to factory settings?
Ricochet speaks.
“I have had my eyes on the International title since I debuted in AEW. And Takeshita has cost me my chance at becoming International Champion on more than one occasion. I was the last person to pin the International Champion, and I plan on doing it one more time, at Full Gear. At Full Gear, Takeshita finds out what the world already knows: That Ricochet is not from here. Ricochet is outta this world!” The King of Flight is determined to dethrone The Alpha. Will Ricochet become The One & Only International Champion?
BREAKING NEWS for the Full Gear Zero Hour!
Anna Jay lost last week in her last chance championship match, but she also rejected the offer of The Vendetta. Now Deonna Purrazzo is looking to teach Anna why that was a mistake. Will The Virtuosa make sure Anna’s never The Star of the Show? Or will she learn why Anna’s still The Queenslayer? Then, we see Dante Martin, The Beast Mortos, Komander and Buddy Matthews compete in what will surely be a fast and furious Fatal 4 Way! Who wins some big momentum, and possibly a spot in the Continental Classic?
Six Man Tag: The Conglomeration VS The Dark Order!
While Tomohiro Ishii is aiming for the ROH World Championship next Wednesday on Thanksgiving Eve, he, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero don’t mind building up momentum in the Trios Division. Will the Stone Pitbull, Sussex County Chicken & Azucar be rolling towards titles? Or can Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds & John Silver remind everyone that The Dark Order is good enough?
The trios sort out and Mark starts against Silver. The two shake hands, and the fans cheer on “Johnny Hungy!” Silver and Mark tie up, go around, and Silver headlocks. Mark powers up and out, but Silver runs him over! Silver flexes, runs, but Mark drops down to then arm-drag! Silver arm-drags back! Mark sweeps to cover, ONE! Silver sweeps to cover, ONE!

Silver stays back, and then shows off his Dark Order Karate! The fans fire up and the two circle again.

Mark powers Uno to the Conglomeration corner then tags in Ishii.

Rocky winds up as Uno goes to a corner, and he runs in to LARIAT! That’s one-ever! Then two-ever! Then three-ever! Rocky gives some Latino Heat, but Reynolds runs up! Rocky gives Reynolds four-ever! More Latino Heat and the fans fire up! Uno runs up, to catch Rocky for SOMETHING EVIL! Rocky flops out of the ring and Uno flexes, but Rampage goes picture in picture.
The ring count starts but Reynolds throws Rocky in. Reynolds drops an elbow, then stands on Rocky’s face. Reynolds scuffs Rocky with his sole, then bumps Rocky off buckles. Uno traps Rocky while Silver tags in. The Dark Order mugs Rocky, then Silver scoops and SLASMS! “I’m freakin’ jacked, baby!” Silver drags Rocky up, ROCKS him with forearms, then puts him in a corner. Silver ROCKS Rocky again, then puts him in the Dark Order corner for a LARIAT! Silver tags Uno then flexes on The Conglomeration. Uno taunts Ishii, then brings Rocky up. Rocky fires forearms!

Winners: The Conglomeration, by pinfall
A great battle from these factions, but it is Strong Style that wins out! Will this happen again when Ishii goes 1v1 with The Learning Tree? Or will Chris Jericho make sure the Age of Nueve lasts forever and ever?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for the go-home to Full Gear, but it was definitely just a go-home. They’re even ending with the November Rain music video from last Saturday as I type this. Good promo from Ricochet to hype up his match with Takeshita, but that’s still a toss-up to me. A part of me does want Ricochet to have the International Champion so Takeshita can enter the Continental Classic and go after Okada like he was supposed to do just a month ago. It really depends on what the Don Callis Family story is going to be with Ospreay and Fletcher, as The Don Callis Family isn’t losing everything at Full Gear.
Great opening tag of Mariah & Mina VS Nyla & Harley, though I really thought that was going to be the main event. But at the same time, of course Mariah & Mina won. No tease for anything at Full Gear so maybe they’ll wait to surprise us with Toni Storm or something tomorrow. Harley becoming “Harley-gram” just to get a rematch with Rosa was hilarious stuff, as does that “All Lucha Rampage” episode they’re hyping up. But oh look, next week is back-to-back Rampage and Collision on a Saturday just to try and undercut Survivor Series. It won’t matter, I’m still watching WarGames and leaving AEW for after, but it’s nice of them to do everything on one night.
Very good filler match of Juice VS Butcher, that was a strong return to singles action for Juice. Very nice Zero Hour matches but I kinda wish they’d given us a segment on TV to set up Deonna VS Anna rather than just announcing it. Maybe there was something social media had but I’m still not someone who follows all the socials. And that Fatal 4 Way is awesome, can’t wait to see who comes out of that a winner. Good promo overall from Big Boom AJ and QT Marshall, but I’m not sure it needed to be a weigh-in. A press conference style segment would’ve been fine, or even a contract signing, but I guess they just wanted to set up QT’s “lay off the cookies” joke. QT stands tall with his cutter taking down AJ, so you can bet AJ dooms QT in the Zero Hour.
Also great Six Man Tag main event, though I don’t think I’ve ever seen a main event without entrances. Great win for Conglomeration, though, but yeah, Ishii sure ain’t winning the ROH World Championship.
My Score: 8.8/10
