ROH Women’s World Championship Proving Grounds Match: Athena VS Lady Frost!
The Fallen Goddess keeps knocking down those put in front of her, and she doesn’t look to be stopping any time soon! Will the ten minute time limit be more than enough to eclipse another challenger? Or will her hot streak finally be cooled off by The Coolest Wrestler You’ll Ever Meet?
The Code of Honor is upheld but with tension as Athena is annoyed with the fans. The bell rings and we’re on the clock as the two circle. They approach, Frost gets around to a waistlock but Athena switches to headlock. Fans rally for Frost but Athena hits a headlock takeover. “Frost who?!” Frost still fights to a headscissor but Athena shrugs it off. They stand, Frost powers out, but Athena wrenches and whips. Frost ducks ‘n’ handsprings but Athena dodges. Athena runs but Frost dodges the shotgun! Athena swings, Frost dodges and handsprings again, to headscissor Athena to a corner!
Fans fire up with Frost and she RAMS into Athena! And RAMS in again! Frost whips corner to corner, Athena reverses but Frost goes up, only for Athena to KICK her out of the air! Athena throws Frost into ropes and Frost falls back, Athena SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Athena is annoyed and she kicks Frost in the side. Athena digs a knee into Frost’s back and bends her backwards with the chinlock, but Frost endures so Athena throws her down. Athena stomps Frost to the corner while fans boo. Frost pushes Athena but Athena CLUBS her down! Athena pie faces Frost, pushes her around, and laughs at her.
Frost throws body shots! Fans rally as Frost fires off, runs, but into a scoop and BACKBREAKER! Athena bends Frost with a backbreaker rack but Frost still endures. Frost throws hands but Athena scoops her for a GUTBUSTER! Fans rally for Frost as she crawls to a corner, but Athena storms up. Athena stands Frost up but Frost forearms! Athena forearms back, but Frost gets the edge! Frost kicks a leg out, Athena ducks the buzzsaw but the HEEL KICK gets her on the return! Athena goes to a corner, Frost runs in and GAMANGIRIS! Frost sits Athena down, goes corner to corner, handspring CANNONBALL!

Athena then BENDS Frost against ropes in a Tree of Woe Camel Clutch variant! The ref counts, Athena lets go to argue with the ref. Athena then goes back to Frost, drags her up, and she taunts her. Athena slaps Frost around, but Frost shoves back and SCREW HIGH KICKS! Frost puts Athena back in the drop zone, goes back up top, and fans fire up for the TWISTING MOONSAULT!

Winner: Athena, by pinfall (denies Frost a title match)
The Fallen Goddess rains down fists on Frost as payback for pushing her so far! Athena runs the ref off, gets the title belt, and SMASHES Frost on it! Athena grins then snarls, her mean streak growing along with her win streak. Will anyone ever stop her reign of terror?
The Kingdom speaks.
Mike Bennett says, “This… This is Ring of Honor. This was built on respect. On honor. Those three letters, they mean something to us.” Matt Taven says, “Final Battle was supposed to be our moment, it was supposed to be our rematch against The Briscoes for the titles that we lost against them in 2001. We finally came back to a new era of honor, and we’re not given what we deserve. Instead, we got Top Flight.” Mike says this is about family and the place THEY built. Mike is “sick and tired of watching these little kids like Top Flight and Action Andretti showing up and using OUR company as a step stool. At every chance they get, they steal OUR moment!”
Taven says instead, they got disrespected! And at Supercard, when it was their moment to show respect to their friend, Top Flight took that from them, too! It was their time to #ReachForTheSky and take back what is theirs, but EVERY team in that match stole that from them. As long as they live, they’ll never get that moment back. Maria says Jay Briscoe gave Maria respect! Jay gave Maria the revival of her career. So for someone to take moments away from The Kingdom, that is something she will NEVER forget. The trend of teaching Melvins lessons is going to continue until they get revenge on every team that was in that ladder match!
They are the Kingdom, and that means something to them. When they built this kingdom, no one respected them. There was no honor for the Kingdom, but they built up brick by brick what they are today. And all the teams they’ve faced along the way, from the Young Bucks to the Briscoes, they’re part of that kingdom. Of Maria’s Kingdom! When you talk about ROH, you’re really talking about something The Kingdom built. So whoever they face in the new era, they will be taught what ROH means. If you don’t give The Kingdom the honor they deserve, the Kingdom will take it! The Kingdom will show you what it means to be part of ROH!
This is the OGK, put respect on the names! Everyone else is a stepping stone in their kingdom! They are OGK, they are The Kingdom, but will they soon be tag team champions?
Rush & Preston Vance w/ Jose VS The Infantry!
El Toro Blanco y Perro Perigroso are representing for La Faccion Ingobernable, looking to make ROH tranquilo. Will they succeed in their mission? Or will Carlie Bravo & Captain Shawn Dean march up the ranks of the ROH Tag Division?

Vance mocks the salute, takes a bow, but turns around into CHOP after CHOP from Carlie! ROLLING ELBOW! Carlie runs, but Vance BOOTS him down! Vance again raises the fist for LFI, and fans rally up.

Brian Cage w/ Prince Nana VS Leon Ruffin!
The Machine has been on a run, especially as part of the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions. But will he continue to win for the Mogul Embassy? Or can the undeterred underdog find a way to stop the Path of Cage?

Ruffin aims at Cage from the corner, runs in, into a LARIAT!! Cage drags Ruffin back up, to POWERBOMB! Deadlift POWER BREAKER!! And then the TEXAS CLOVERLEAF!! Ruffin taps, Cage wins!
Winner: Brian Cage, by submission
The Machine made the underdog pay for fighting so hard, and Nana mockingly shakes Ruffin’s hand. Will anything stop Cage and the entire Mogul Embassy from ruling ROH?
The Dark Order VS The Trustbusters w/ Slim J!
Evil Uno & Stu Grayson aren’t sweating The Righteous always creeping around, they just want to go for tag title gold. Will they start on that journey in the Steel City? Or will Sonny Kiss & Jeeves Kay make that money for Daivari Dinero?
But wait, speaking of The Righteous, they make their way out now! They have chairs, but just to sit on stage and watch this. Jeeves takes advantage of this distraction and blindsides Uno! The bell rings as Jeeves kicks Uno and stomps away! Stu protests but there’s nothing he can do as Jeeves stands Uno up to UPPERCUT! Jeeves whips, Uno reverses but Jeeves slides to DROPKICK!

Fans fire up as Uno crawls away from the Trustbusters, hot tag to Stu! Stu rallies on the Trustbusters, spins Kiss to an OVERHEAD Belly2Belly then kips up! Fans fire up, Jeeves CHOPS, but Stu doesn’t flinch. Jeeves CHOPS again, but still nothing!
Stu eggs Jeeves on, and Jeeves throws a forearm! Stu nods and eggs Jeeves on again. Jeeves swings, into the URENAGE! Stu then LION SENTONS! Kiss gets on the apron but backs off as Stu storms up. Stu fireman’s carries Jeeves, but Jeeves slips free to shove Stu! Uno tags in, Stu whips Jeeves then hurdles. Uno reels Jeeves into a suplex, Stu ROUNDHOUSES before the BRAINBUSTER! Kiss returns to ENZIGURI Stu! Uno avoids the heel kick to ROCK Kiss, and then The Dark Order pops Kiss up into the Electric Chair, toss into the POWERBOMB! Fans fire up as Stu goes to the corner and tags back in.
Uno gets Jeeves up, Stu runs in, PENALTY KICK PILEDRIVER!! Cover, the Dark Order wins!
Winners: The Dark Order, by pinfall
The Righteous applaud, perhaps more for Stu than for The Dark Order. Stu & Uno storm up to the stage to stare down Dutch & Vincent. Will the Dark Order get the Righteous to back off? Or will Stu end up joining them?
Backstage interview with Christopher Daniels.
Dasha is with the Fallen Angel and says the last few times we’ve heard from him, he’s been on this quest for victories and for championships. What is next for him on said journey? Daniels says he has to be honest, after 30 years in professional wrestling, Daniels knows what it is like to be at the top of the mountain, and at the bottom of the valley. Right now, Daniels is at one of his all-time lows. He hasn’t had his hand raised in victory as often as he’d like. But because this is ROH, he understands that nothing is just handed to him! Nothing comes easy in an ROH ring!
It doesn’t matter that Daniels is the first-ever ROH Grand Slam Champion! It doesn’t matter that he’s been a tag team champion, it doesn’t matter that he’s been a world champion. Daniels has to earn everything that he wants, everything that he desires, in ROH. He understands that. And he’s not starting at the bottom, doing the baby steps. If he’s gonna swing, he swings for the fences. And so he calls out the ROH World Television Champion, Samoa Joe! Joe and Daniels have “a history that is long and drenched in blood,” mostly Daniels’. They’ve been teammates, opponents, and have fought tooth ‘n’ nail for what they’ve wanted.
Right now, what Daniels wants is on Joe’s waist, is on Joe’s shoulder. Daniels has held the TV title before, but if he wants it again, he has to go through one of the toughest SOBs he’s ever stood across the ring from. Look in Daniels’ eyes. Does he look afraid to do that again? Does he look intimidated to put his name in the hat against Joe? NO! Daniels is ready to go. “Beat me if you can. Make me bleed if you can, Joe. Because I want that World Television Championship, Joe. And I know you’re a fighting champion, Joe, so how about you and I, one-on-one, in a ROH ring, for that TV title, next week?” The Fallen Angel wants after the King, but will he take Joe’s throne?
Diamante VS Skye Blue!
The Cuban Diamond has been sharpening her edge in the Dark of AEW, but she’s ready to shine in the light! Will she crush her opponent under the pressure? Or will Skye continue to reach for the sky in her own journey to the top?

Skye goes corner to corner and runs in, but Diamante puts her on the apron. Skye ROUNDHOUSES Diamante away, goes up top, CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Skye grows a bit frustrated, but she runs at the ropes. Diamante dodges, waistlcoks, but Skye elbows free.
Skye switches with Diamante, SHINING WIZARDS and snapmares, but Diamante blocks the superkick. Diamante spins Skye but Skye BASEMENT ENZIGURIS! Fans fire up and Skye sees Diamante go to the apron. Skye joins her out there, drags her up, and reels her in, but Diamante throws elbows! Skye throws forearms but Diamante throws them back! The fans fire up as they brawl on the edge, and Skye gets the edge! Diamante ROCKS Skye, blocks a superkick and ROCKS her again, to APRON GERMAN SUPLEX! Skye flops into the corner, Diamante runs corner to corner to HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Cover, ROPEBREAK!!
Diamante can’t believe Skye survives, but she says this will end it. Diamante suplexes, Skye slips free to full nelson! Diamante drops, but Skye sits on her, SKYE WINS!
Winner: Skye Blue, by pinfall
The ROH win streak continues for Skye! But out walks Athena, mocking Skye by wearing a baseball cap. Athena takes it off to then STOMP the hat! Skye dares Athena to step to her if she thinks she’s so tough! Will the Fallen Goddess soon put up her gold against the Blue?

Rocky Romero speaks backstage.
“Lee Moriarty, you’re the type of talent that ROH, this company, was built on. You’re the type of talent that could be ROH World Champion. And tonight, you out-sneaked the King of Sneaky Style with your seven-foot insurance policy. But I’m not happy with that. No. Next week: Pure Rules match, Rocky ‘Azucar’ Romero against Lee Moriarty. And you can get a pure ass whooping next week!” Rocky is ready to teach Lee a lesson, will there be no helping #TAIGASTYLE get out of this?

A split second after that three count, Loco kicks out! Loco was so close, but Blake snatches that one away! These two shake hands to uphold the Code of Honor, will we see this one again down the line?
My Thoughts:
A great ROH, but only just over an hour? That’s rather surprising. Though with AEW wanting to bring out another two hour show in Collision, maybe wrestlers who crossover between AEW and ROH are going to be needed to fill out that programming, leaving less available for ROH tapings, and therefore, ROH has to downsize already. And even then, it felt like they stretched things out to fill the hour. The Kingdom’s promo felt like it was a couple lines too long. They could’ve trimmed it down by what ended up a paragraph in this write-up, and it would’ve flowed better. But at least it was them issuing a warning to all the tag teams from the Supercard of Honor ladder match, helping them move on from Top Flight and closer to the tag titles.
Christopher Daniels also had a good promo but it also felt like he was stretching for time. I thought he was going to call out Claudio, which would’ve made sense after what the BCC did to him on Rampage. But at the same time, Samoa Joe really does need more for his TV title reign, and Joe VS Daniels is going to be great stuff. Still kinda wish Mark Briscoe won that title at Supercard. Anyway, really good Proving Grounds match and good win for Athena. Good match between Diamante and Skye, and Skye’s been going strong so her winning made sense. Athena showing up to warn Skye was a bit of a surprise, as I don’t see Skye ready for the title. Athena will surely win, but I guess Skye will get a great showing even in defeat.
Really good tag match for LFI VS Infantry, but wow, I didn’t think Vance was going to basically solo Dean & Carlie. LFI in whatever combination is a good choice for facing the Lucha Brothers, but I feel like this should build to a contender’s match between LFI, The Kingdom, and at least one other team. The Dark Order has a good match with the Trustbusters, with The Righteous’ presence only a moderate distraction. Dark Order VS The Righteous will be more about where Stu goes than the titles, but Dark Order can definitely win to keep Stu and then go for the titles. But even then, I feel like Lucha Brothers beat whoever because it’ll be their first defense that they should definitely win.
Best Friends squash Joe & Mookie, keeping them going in the ROH Tag Division, and maybe they get in on the title conversation. It feels like they’ll be on that list of crossover wrestlers that will go back to AEW full time once Collision starts up. Brian Cage and Leon Ruffin have a really good match, though still pretty quick because Cage is like three Ruffins put together. Not sure why we’re not seeing the Gates of Agony in action after the Embassy retained the Six Man titles. And if they’re backing up Swerve, can we see them brawl with Keith Lee & Dustin Rhodes already? That’s a feud that’s been building far too slowly, but probably because they started with Parker Boudreaux & “Trench,” who were more meat than henchmen.
Good stuff out of Rocky VS Moriarty, but of course Morrissey makes the difference. Rocky had a good promo to call Moriarty out and challenge him for a Pure Rules match. That’ll be really good stuff, and at this point, I feel like the winner of that can face Shibata for the Pure Championship, after we see Shibata VS Coughlin, of course. And really good main event from Blake Christian VS Gringo Loco. It was a lot like looking at a before and after of high-flying wrestler, and I did not expect Blake to win that. Was it a count botch from the ref? Did Loco just lose count himself? Who knows, but I suppose this could make for good “crisis of confidence” story as Loco struggles to get a win now that he’s reached this level of competition.
My Score: 8.6/10

Hangman Page is here!
Mexico City fires up for the Blackhat Cowboy as he makes his way into Arena Mexico for the first time! Hangman has a mic to say, “Hola! Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL. This is the best pro-wrestling in the world!
Hangman continues by saying that he also wants to make it known about AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, that while Hangman is not wrestling tonight, and that he is not allowed ringside later tonight for the main event… He will find Moxley after! And Excalibur apologizes, the last part definitely can’t be translated for the sake of the broadcast. The fans still cheer Hangman on, they wanna see that #CowboyS*it. Hangman adds that once again, he is thankful for letting them be here in Arena Mexico. Now, let the action begin! The fans cheer as Hangman heads out, will The Cowboy get his hands on The Maniac before the night is over?
14 Man Tag: Hechicero, Volador Jr, Dax Harwood & The Don Callis Family VS Adam Cole, Brody King, Daniel Garcia, Bandido, Templario, Atlantis Sr. & Atlantis Jr!
Well, they always say, “Card subject to change.” Cash Wheeler is not able to make it, but Lance Archer and “The Predator,” Volador Jr, take his place! Then on the other side, the OG Atlantis jumps in! Will things only end up crazier to start off Grand Slam?
As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.
On the other side, ROH World Champion Bandido leads the way for his team, followed by Templario and the Atlantis father and son. Then Brody King and Daniel Garcia follow, saving TNT Champion, Adam Cole, for last! The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” These massive teams sort out, and Bandido steps up against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita.

MJF w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Mistico!
The Scumbag only ever does or uses something when it benefits him, and being extremely patriotic for the United States only seems to happen when he wants to stick it to someone not from the United States. MJF waves Ol’ Glory while he, MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin walk down to the ring, but will he have to wave the white flag of surrender here tonight? Or will MJF somehow screw over the arguably greatest and most beloved man in CMLL?
In fact, to counter MJF being an American idiot, Mistico takes off his Sin Cara mask to reveal the colors of Mexico’s flag and therefore the colors of his people. He also has Me Muero as his theme, and the fans all know that one! The bell rings and the two circle while the fans rally behind Mistico. The two tie up, MJF SHOVES Mistico away, and then MJF soaks up the heat. MJF mockingly claps and then says up theirs! MVP tells MJF to worry about Mistico, not the fans. The fans tell MJF off and MJF tells them to shut up. MJF and Mistico tie up, Mistico SHOVES MJF, and Mistico eggs MJF on! MJF gets up, he and Mistico circle again, and they tie up.

Mistico handsprings to fake MJF out! MJF thinks he’s smooth for running away, but then MVP tells him to focus on Mistico, not on the fans. MJF says he knows, and he eggs on Mistico. Mistico runs out there to chase MJF, but then the Hurt Syndicate stands in the way!
The fans boo, Mistico wags his finger, and he tells them to part. MJF runs up to ROCK Mistico first! The fans boo but MJF high-fives his guys. MJF says, “Easy! Too easy!” MJF puts Mistico in the ring, smirks while the fans call him more names. MJF swivels his hips, then runs up, but Mistico dodges the knee drop! Mistico runs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Mistico has MJF in a corner. MJF wants mercy, but Mistico says nope! Mistico runs up, but MJF YANKS him into buckles! MJF stomps away on Mistico, then goes to the other end to stand on the corner. MJF soaks up heat as he does the Pledge of Allegiance!

Mistico runs, hops on, but MJF stops Code Red to reel Mistico in! POWER BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Mistico survives, MVP says this is still fine, and Grand Slam goes picture in picture. MJF sits Mistico up, and he pulls at the mask! MJF’s lucky this is an AEW based event, CMLL rules say this is tantamount to a disqualification! MJF rips at the eyehole, then clamps on a chinlock. MJF grinds Mistico down but Mistico endures.

MJF TOSSES Mistico out, distracts the ref, and the Hurt Syndicate attacks! BARRIER BACKBREAKER from Shelton! Shelton shoves Mistico back into the ring, MJF covers, TWO! Mistico is still in this but the ref is a bit suspicious of the Hurt Syndicate. MVP defends their innocence, and MJF puts Mistico on ropes. MJF CHOKES Mistico, the ref counts, and MJF stops at 4. This lets Lashley CHOKE Mistico and throw hands! The Hurt syndicate gets away with more, and MJF covers, TWO!
MVP tells fans to callete, they saw nothing! MJF stalks Mistico, stomps him on the foot, then has him on the ropes. MJF stomps him more, then soaks up heat. MJF drags Mistico up, scoops and carries him, then SLAMS him down! MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs while Grand Slam returns to single picture. MJF sits Mistico back up, runs the ropes, and then just steps up to pelvic thrust! The fans boo and Mistico is pissed now! MVP says no more trolling, MJF, he’s already told him that! MJF ROCKS Mistico, but Mistico eggs him on! MJF ROCKS Mistico, CLUBS him again and again, but then Mistico blocks to fire off forearms! And KICKS, SOBATS and KICKS!

The fans fire up as Mistico puts MJF back in the ring. Mistico then springboards again, SWANTON BOMB! MJF sputters into the drop zone and Mistico goes up the corner! MOONSAULT, but MJF moves! Mistico rolls through as best he can, and he SNAP POWERSLAMS! Cover, TWO!! MJF survives, MVP is frustrated on his behalf, but Mistico covers again, TWO! MJF is still in this but the fans are still behind Mistico. Mistico stands MJF up and CHOPS! The fans rally, Mistico runs, but MJF SPITS in Mistico’s face! Mistico is pissed, but MJF dodges the haymaker! Mistico blocks MJF’s kick, but MJF POKES Mistico in the eyes!
MJF runs, but Mistico SUPERKICKS! MJF rebounds to FOREARM! Mistico rebounds to hop on, DESTROYER!! MJF staggers but he SUPERKICKS back! Cover, TWO!! Mistico survives, and both men are showing us why they were each record-setting champions in their companies! The fans rally up more and more, “ESTA LUCHA!” MVP talks with Lashley & Shelton, and MJF rises up. MJF goes to the apron, and then up the ramp? Is MJF quitting? Mistico rushes up after MJF, tilt-o-whirl and- NO, MJF stops La Mystica to hit a TOMBSTONEÂ on the stage!! The ref hurries to check Mistico while the fans go nuts!
MVP hurries to check on MJF and tells him to get up. MJF grabs the ref and drags him away to the ring. MJF now wants the win by count out!

4 Million Pesos Fatal 4 Way: Ricochet VS Mascara Dorada VS Holo.grm VS Lio Rush!
The One & Only is still looking for someone, anyone, to be worthy of following him on his journey to gold. Maybe having an extra $210K will help that? Or will someone else cash in big with a Grand Slam?
The bell rings and the four watch each other. Ricochet tries to bond with Bryce Remsburg over being bald but Bryce isn’t having it. Ricochet and the others all approach center, but then Lio says forget this. Lio goes to a corner to soak up heat, and Ricochet talks it over with the luchadores.

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion)
Even Mone is a bit surprised, but she flipped things around on Zeuxis and has taken yet another title! Mone holds up the FIVE championships in her collection and the streams fly! Will The CEO only add to her treasury when she and- Wait, speaking of Toni Storm, she’s on the tron! “She’s the kind of woman who always has money on her mind and someone else on her lips. She’s the kind of woman mother takes home to you. With thighs as big as the world and long as a wet dream. One thing she did know how to hold the gold, and not the Acapulco kind, either. She had a date with a Chief Executive Officer who wanted a kiss, but one belt too many.
“Deepthroat some tabasco, baby, it’s time to turn up the heat. There was one chance in a million she would bump into her past, but like everything out of the past, it was all behind her now.” The fans cheer as the noir narration ends, because surprise! That’s… Mina Shirakawa? Because Toni Storm sneaks into the ring from the crowd! The fans fire up as the lady in red takes a sniff of the gold.

The fans cheer as Mone runs away and Toni gives her chase! She gets Mone at the ramp but the refs stop her!
The fans boo and Mone scrambles away through the streamers! One lucky fan gets Mone to hug her as she cowers in fear. Toni grabs a mic to shout, “Let the games begin~!” Toni revels in the streamers while Mone pulls at her hair in frustration! Will the AEW Women’s World Championship be the one belt Mone doesn’t take?

But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?
My Thoughts:
Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.
Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.
Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.
Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.
Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.
My Score: 9/10
