Christopher Daniels speaks.
“This message is brought to you by the Fallen Angel, and it is for you, Katsuyori Shibata. At Supercard of Honor, you became the ROH Pure Champion. Congratulations. But I warn you that championships are on my agenda, sir. And with that in mind, I would like to propose a title match for this Thursday on ROH TV. Now, I know you are well aware of my prowess, Mr. Shibata, because in the past, I have been successful against you each and every time. But I also know that since the last time you and I met in a wrestling ring, you’ve gone through hell, and you’ve come out the other side one of the strongest and best pure wrestlers on this planet. One of the toughest men in the world. I’m well aware of that, but I’m not scared of a challenge.
“And I know that you are a man of honor, and a fighting champion, so I don’t even need to ask this question. Why don’t I just put this out there right now? The Fallen Angel, Christopher Daniels, Katsuyori Shibata, for the ROH Pure Championship.” That challenge has been accepted, and it will happen TONIGHT!

Backstage interview with Claudio Castagnoli.
Dasha Gonzalez congratulates him on retaining the ROH World Championship at Supercard of Honor, but is there anyone else he deems worthy of a title match? Claudio says first of all, he did exactly what he told the whole world he was gonna do, and that is beat Eddie Kingston and that Eddie would implode. And what did Eddie do after losing? He grabbed the mic, cussed and cursed, and still thinks he’s championship material. “You cannot air that anywhere, you cannot print that anywhere, that is not a real representative for what ROH stands for. I am.
“I am here today as the ROH Champion. I’m ready to fight and I’m ready to defend it against anybody that proves himself worthy. That’s the ROH way, that’s my way, that is who I am.” The Swiss Superman has spoken, but who will step up and challenge for his throne?
Brian Cage w/ Prince Nana VS Ortiz!
Another champion that retained their title was The Machine! Alongside The Gates of Agony, Brian Cage defeated the trio of Blake Christian, AR Fox & Metalik to hold onto the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships. But will the man who is Proud ‘n’ Powerful find a way to bring him down?

The Machine does not slow down after Supercard, he is still destructive! Nana mockingly shakes Ortiz’s hand, but will anything ever stop The Embassy from reigning over ROH?
Darius Martin VS Jay Lethal w/ Team Triple J!
Top Flight suffered heavy losses at Supercard of Honor. Not only did they fail to bring the tag titles home, but Dante Martin goes down with a horrific ankle injury. Even so, Darius looks to hold it down for his brother. Will he do that against the lethal former world champion? Or will Jay start to make his way up towards that very title?
The Kingdom joins commentary, they apparently aren’t letting things go from their feud with Top Flight. The Code of Honor is upheld, but Lethal gets in Darius’ face.

Sonjay celebrates with Lethal while The Kingdom acts like it was all him. Lethal says HE built ROH, this is HIS house, and he will do what he pleases! The Kingdom applauds Lethal, and they borrow Satnam’s jacket, since it’s big enough for both of them. Taven and Mike mockingly ask Darius what’s wrong, but will Darius be able to avenge himself and Dante against them both?
La Faccion Ingobernable w/ Preston Vance & Jose VS The Infantry!
Rush y Dralistico may not have brought home the ROH World Tag Team titles, but they’re not letting that get them down. There’s always the chase, but will El Toro Blanco y El Principe de Plata y Oro be golden soon enough? Or will Captain Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo snipe title opportunities from them?
The teams sort out and Dralistico starts against Dean. Dean offers the handshake, but Dralistico shoves him. Dean comes back, things speed up, Dralistico hurdles but Dean leaps over.

The Infantry falls to the power move, but the LFI isn’t done with them! They put them side by side to stand on them and raise their fists. Will Dralistico take the International Championship from Orange Cassidy on Friday? Will LFI take the tag and trios titles from ROH in the near future?
Daniel Garcia VS Tracy Williams!
At the Supercard of Honor, The Red Death took on The Ace, and the Hot Sauce took on the Imperial Unit. Neither man was successful, so this is all about rebounding. Will the greatest sports…Â enner-tay-ner be back on top? Or will the professional wrestler bring him back down?
The Code of Honor is not upheld as Garcia kicks Tracy’s hand. The two circle, feel things out, knuckle lock, then back away.

ROH Women’s World Championship: Athena VS Miyu Yamashita!
The Fallen Goddess got more than she expected out of Yuka Sakazaki at Supercard of Honor, but she is still the champion. Though, will she get even more than she expects out of the Peach Pink Striker? Or will Athena keep the Pro-Wrestling EVE Champion from adding to her collection?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is on top of the ROH Women’s Division!
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and fans rally. Athena tells the fans they don’t get tables so stop asking. Miyu and Athena tie up, go around, and Miyu waistlocks. Athena arm-drags to armlock, but Miyu gets up and wrenches back. Miyu wristlocks, Athena cartwheels to arm-drag then kip up. Fans cheer and Athena laughs, but she narrowly avoids the roundhouse! Athena bails out and says nope! She paces to cool off but Miyu eggs her on. Athena takes her time with the 20 count, and returns at 7. The two reset, each woman avoids a kick, then Athena blocks one. Athena spins and whips Miyu but Miyu triangle jump KICKS out of the corner!
Fans fire up and Miyu runs to PENALTY KICK! Athena sits up, into another KICK! And another KICK! Athena writhes but Miyu waits for her to sit up. KICK! And KICK! Athena snarls and growls, but Miya PUNTS her in the side! Fans rally up, Miyu KICKS away in the corner! The ref counts, Miyu lets off at 4, and she KNEES Athena down!

Athena trips Miyu, using the apron skirt! The ref reprimands but Athena drags Miyu to the corner. Athena spins Miyu into the post! Athena then CLUBS away on Miyu and YANKS her to the floor. Fans rally and duel but Athena stomps Miyu’s legs. “You wanna kick somebody, huh?!” Athena stomps the leg, then LEG DDTS to the floor! Athena drags Miyu up, Miyu throws body shots but Athena CLUBS her down. The ring count is 9 of 20 as Athena pushes Miyu in.
Athena stalks Miyu, tells the ref to calm down, then she drives knee after knee into the leg! Athena ties up the leg in a modified INDIAN DEATHLOCK! Miyu endures, fans rally, but Athena pulls harder. Miyu fires off forearm after forearm and Athena finally lets go. Miyu staggers to ropes, Athena runs in, but Miyu dumps her out hard! Fans rally up and Miyu goes to the apron. Miyu aims, and PENALTY KICKS! Athena flounders away around the corner, but Miyu just follows her. Another PENALTY KICK! Athena continues to flounder, and Miyu continues to pursue. PENALTY- NO, Athena blocks to fireman’s carry!
Athena brings Miyu around to POST her! And then WASTELAND SLAMÂ to the floor! Athena soaks up the cheers and jeers, then SENTONSÂ onto nothing! Miyu SHINING WIZARDS!! Fans fire up and Miyu is seething! Miyu drags Athena up as the ring count climbs again. Miyu gets Athena in the ring at 8 of 20 and fires up. Fans rally, Miyu climbs, but Athena storms over.

Miyu crawls, claws, reaches out, but Athena drags her away! ANKLE LOCK!! Athena leans on the hold, but Miyu rolls to put Athena on ropes! Miyu runs, BLINDSIDE BOOT!! And then GERMAN SUPLEX!! Athena grabs at the ref but Miyu takes aim! SKULL- NO, Athena ducks and the ref avoids disaster! Athena bails out while Miyu apologizes for the near call. But Miyu then hurries to pursue Athena at the ramp! Miyu CLOBBERS Athena from behind!
Miyu won’t let Athena use Champion’s Advantage! Miyu stomps Athena, brings her up, but Athena DECKS Miyu! Athena says bye, but Miyu comes back to CLOBBER Athena again! Athena kicks Miyu, CLUBS her on the back, but Miyu hits back! They brawl, the count is climbing, ROUNDHOUSE! The count is 10 of 20, Miyu runs in, but Athena fireman’s carries! But Miyu slips free to fireman’s carry in return! DEATH VALLEY on the stage! Miyu brings Athena up, the count has stopped so we get a proper winner. But then Athena SHOVES Miyu off the stage! Miyu gets back up, but Athena snarls.
Athena roars, aims, leaps, CANNONBALLÂ to the floor! The ref hurries over to check both women. Fans rally for “ROH! ROH!” as both women stir. The count begins again as Athena drags Miyu up. Athena brings Miyu to ringside, determined to finish this now. “You think you’re special? You’re NOTHING!” Athena whips Miyu into the ring, then stalks her. Miyu staggers up, Athena swings, but misses! Roll-up, TWO!! Athena hurries up to her feet, Miyu dodges the dropkick to LION’S BARRAGE!! Cover, TWO!! Miyu roars and fans fire up! Athena sits up, but ducks the Skull Kick! Takedown, into CROSSFACE!!
Miyu endures, reaches out, moves around, and fans are thunderous! But Athena rolls Miyu away!! Miyu endures, but she’s being bent back so far! Miyu flails, reaches out, but Athena puts on more pressure! Miyu is fading, Miyu is OUT! Athena wins!!
Winner: Athena, by stoppage (still ROH Women’s World Champion)Â
The Fallen Goddess grins, and lets off when she is satisfied! She clutches to her precious, and mockingly shakes Miyu’s hand. Athena fakes us out on stomping Miyu, and says, “Not worth it.” Athena’s reign continues, will it ever end?
My Thoughts:
A great ROH to follow Supercard of Honor, with quite a bit more than I expected. ROH has shifted to doing very few promos, which helps things go a bit faster for me. Claudio continues to run Eddie Kingston down in his promo, so I think we’re still getting a rematch there at some point. Daniels had a good promo to set up tonight’s Pure title match, and we got a great Pure title match out of Shibata VS Daniels. The match being only 10 minutes is still great stuff because it was constant action. Shibata can take on just about anyone, and I hope we get him facing more and more opponents on the way to the next ROH event.
Great Six Man Tag as the first match. Again, I’m a little confused as to why Mark Briscoe isn’t ROH World TV Champion right now, because then this would’ve been three champions facing off, and being against Shane Taylor would make sense. Shane beat Silas in a battle of former TV Champions, and Shane would make a great challenger to that title. Instead, it’s just a really good Face win that technically puts Mark & Lucha Bros on the Trios Division radar, but mostly just gives momentum to Penta & Fenix before they hopefully defeat QT & Hobbs tomorrow for Battle of the Belts.
Really good match for Ortiz’s return to action, though Cage winning is fine. The ROH Six Man Tag Team Champions are still going strong, they’re gonna have to build up a strong trio to take those titles from the Embassy. Good stuff out of Darius VS Lethal but I’m a bit surprised The Kingdom got involved. I guess their feud with Top Flight will continue, even with Dante out of action. Maybe Darius gets a temporary partner to help him, in the same way Dante had Matt Sydal while Darius was hurt. In fact, maybe Matt Sydal can be that substitute. As for Lethal, I would love if he got in on some title stories, like with Samoa Joe or Claudio.
Good stuff, though rather quick stuff, out of LFI VS Infantry. Of course LFI wins, to build them in the ROH Tag Division but also so that Dralistico has momentum going into BOTB. Pretty sure Cassidy wins that match, though, as he’s been running so strong with the International/All-Atlantic title. Also good stuff out of Garcia VS Tracy. Good win for Garcia, but I really liked the banter between Garcia, Tracy and the fans about sports entertainer VS pro-wrestler. And Willow more or less squashes Mimi, keeping Willow going strong in the Women’s Division. Willow already lost to Athena once, but maybe ROH can build a feud here.
Great stuff out of Konosuke VS Nese, as Nese has always been a really good wrestler, he just doesn’t have “it” to help him get up and over to a major title scene. We saw him get the Cruiserweight title in WWE during the 205 Live era, but it felt a bit forced for the moment in New York, and then nothing else happened for Nese after that. So here in AEW and ROH where you need to have even more of “it” to get anywhere, Nese and the Varsity Athletes will be lucky to be trios champions. And then a great main event out of Athena and Miyu. Athena was certainly going to retain, I’m just not sure who ROH has outside of Willow to be her next challenger. Chances are, it’ll be another crossover match with a joshi wrestler.
My Score: 8.5/10

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.

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.

Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Mark Briscoe!
The Rainmaker has a Winner Takes All match with long-time rival, Kenny Omega, but he crossed a line! Not only has Okada joined Don Callis just to stick it to The Cleaner, but Okada hospitalized Omega with a brutal attack to the stomach! Will the Sussex County Chicken get a semblance of revenge on Omega’s behalf? Or will Okada make it rain in Arena Mexico?
The fans are fired up for Okada while he and Briscoe get face to face. The ref has them back away to their corners, then the bell rings. Okada and Briscoe step up again, then Briscoe shoves Okada! Okada bails out and the fans boo. Briscoe waits on Okada while commentary tells Callis he and Okada committed the most despicable thing in all of wrestling. Callis of course says it was the most shrewd tactical move in the history of wrestling. Okada takes his time returning into the ring, and then he circles with Briscoe. They tie up and are in a deadlock. They go around, Okada puts Briscoe on the ropes, but he lets off slowly.
Okada fakes the chop, and pats Briscoe on the shoulders. The fans are torn, but Briscoe kicks Okada and TOSSES him! The fans cheer as Briscoe builds speed, but Okada steps aside so Briscoe can’t dive. Briscoe gives chase, though, and they go around the outside. They slide back in, and Okada CLOBBERS Briscoe! The fans are torn as Okada CLUBS away. Okada fires forearms, storms up to stomp Briscoe in the corner, and then ELBOWS him! The fans are torn but Okada brings Briscoe around for a BIG back suplex. But Briscoe lands out, and hits the Crane Stance! Okada takes a swing, Briscoe ducks, and Briscoe CHOPS!

Briscoe stands Okada up to ROCK with a haymaker, then ROCKS him again. Okada staggers, Briscoe is on him with a CHOP! The fans “WOO~” and Callis acknowledges those heavy hands of Briscoe’s. Briscoe bumps Okada off buckles, stomps a mudhole, then stops as the ref counts 4. Briscoe then grinds his forearm into Okada’s face! The ref counts again, Briscoe stops at 4, and he whips corner to corner. Okada reverses but Briscoe goes up and out.
Okada runs up but Briscoe blocks a shot to ROCK Okada! Briscoe then RAMS into Okada, throws him out of the ring, and then DIVES! Direct hit and the fans fire up! Briscoe high-fives the front row before he puts Okada in the ring. Okada goes to a corner, Briscoe runs up and LARIATS! Briscoe goes corner to corner again, but Okada BOOTS him! Briscoe just fires up! Okada dodges this time, and he hoists Briscoe up to DROPKICK him down to the floor! The fans fire up while Grand Slam goes picture in picture.

The Problem is always a factor, but this isn’t done as Yuta & The Bucks beat up on Joe! Then the Bucks SUPERKICK Swerve! Moxley has a SLEEPER on Swerve, then feeds him to the SUPERKICKS! Moxley puts the SLEEPER back on, but HERE COMES HANGMAN!! The Cowboy told us about the ringside ban, but also mentioned that once the match was over, it was fair game!

Hangman says he told them, they stay out of his business or else! But now Moxley has the briefcase! Only for Hangman to spot him first. Moxley is frozen in place, and now The Opps & Ospreay get in the ring! The Maniac decides discretion is the better part of valor, and The Death Riders are in retreat. 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
