Backstage interview with Matt Sydal.
Earlier today, Dasha was with the Third Eye Sage and brings up Sydal getting on the mic to call out Samoa Joe. Tonight’s the night. Sydal says that’s right, he took things into his own hands because that’s how he does things. Every single break he’s had in this business has been because he grabbed a mic and asked for what’s his. He’s been on the heels of Samoa Joe since he first started in ROH. Sydal is not a kid anymore, and he’s not scared of Joe anymore. Sydal is the only man in this locker room willing to grab the mic and call Joe out and say Sydal will be the NEW TV Champion! Tonight IS his night!
Backstage interview with Samoa Joe.
Also earlier today, Dasha spoke with the ROH World TV Champion and brings up Sydal’s challenge. What’s going on in Joe’s head? Joe says of course he accepted Sydal’s challenge, why wouldn’t he? He needs to teach a lesson. Tonight we learn what happens when ambition outstrips common sense. Joe tells Sydal that he understands Sydal’s ambition is to be a champion here in ROH. But common sense dictates that such a path does not go through Joe! Joe tells Sydal that tonight, “you learn that lesson.” Will Sydal regret making Samoa Joe as his champion of choice?

Backstage interview with The Varsity Athletes.
Mark Sterling tells us that he “secured” time for the Premier Athlete in the ring to get something off his chest. Dasha goes to Nese and Nese says those fans out there are in for a real treat. Just what does that mean coming from the ripped wrestler from Ridge, New York?
The Iron Savages w/ Jacked Jameson VS Rhett Titus & Tracy Williams!
Beefcake Boulder & Dirty Bulk Bronson are back again, ready to rip into the ROH Tag Division. Will they be large and in charge against former ROH Tag Team Champions? Or will The Professional & The Hot Sauce show they’re stronger than that #SavageSauce?

Jameson celebrates with his beefy buddies as they get a truly big win, but will they be heading for the Lucha Brothers and those ROH World Tag Team Championships?
Backstage interview with The Workhorsemen.
Dasha is with JD Drake & Anthony Henry ahead of Henry’s match. Henry asked for this time, but JD says the last thing you want is to talk off to a pissed off Anthony Henry. He starts getting all over the place, doesn’t know what to say, but what JD wants to say is that FTR goes and sticks their nose in Workhorsemen business when they had no reason! Henry says the Shatter Machine, the Big Rig, whatever it’s called, they hit with it and now his face is messed up! JD knows FTR is not here tonight. They never show up when you want them to. But guess who is here? That “chicken,” Mark Briscoe!
Henry says that Mark and FTR are boys, so how about Mark atones for the sins of FTR? When Henry sees Mark, he will do everything he dreamed of doing to FTR all to Mark. That means it’s time to punch in, and knock out! Will the Saint of Augusta avenge himself and JD against the Sussex County Chicken?
Diamante VS Teal Piper w/ The House of Heathens!
The Cuban Diamond has been shining since showing up in ROH, but will she prove herself worthy of gold? Or will the other half of the House of Heathens make up for Deimos’ defeat?

Winner: Diamante, by referee stoppage
That’s 3-0 in ROH and a few more wins beyond that overall, Diamante is thriving under pressure. She barely upholds the Code of Honor, and then tells Tony Khan through the camera, “I need better!” Will she be the one aiming for Athena’s title on the road to Death Before Dishonor?
Tony Nese w/ The Varsity Athletes VS Serpentico w/ Spanish Announce Project!
Smart Mark got Nese this singles match to show what he’s made of, but he’s currently 0-3. Will Nese turn that around to finally get going as a solo star? Or will #SNAKEMAN humble Nese and his eight pack?
But wait, Sterling gets the mic to speak. He wants everyone to quiet down, and then he says that his client, Tony Nese, has something to get off his chest. Nese takes the mic and tells everyone to relax. He says this is the time that he and Daivari want to open up and be honest with everyone. “Now, for many, many years now, we have been trying to win the respect of each and every one of you. We really have, and we don’t even know why we get the disrespect. Or we didn’t know why, but then I really started to think about it. And in all honesty, the reason why we don’t earn your respect… It’s because we’re not ‘relatable.’ Right? We’re not relatable!
“We’re never gonna be fat, disgusting pieces of trash like each and every one of you! Hey, the truth hurts.” But seeing as how they’ll never be like the fans, being personal trainers on the side, they are gonna turn everyone into athletes like them! Nese talked it out with the folks in the back, and for right now, the wrestling is going to be put on hold. “We are going to do a group exercise!” Nese knows this will be hard, but everyone needs to stand up, and we’ll start with stretches. Follow along with Daivari. Reach for the sky! And he says that better than anyone here. Now, touch your toes, if you can see them.
Now for the hard stuff. They’re gonna do squats! Anyone know what those are? It’s almost like what the fans do when they sit on the toilet after eating 20 hot dogs. So everyone, stand with a wide stance, and then squat nice and low. C’mon, you all can do better than this! There are guys who can’t even get up outta their seats! Those are they guys who should be doing squats! Nese says fine, these idiots aren’t capable of that, so let’s go to push-ups! Do they know what these are? Watch Daivari! Get low, go up, and repeat. But here comes Serpentico! Fans cheer as he ends this insulting farce and forces Nese to fight!
The fans rally for SAP, and the two keep the Code of Honor. The bell rings and Serpentico circles with Nese. They tie up, Nese gets around to waistlock and SLAM! Serpentico goes to a corner while Nese flexes on him. Serpentico admits, Nese is strong. But fans rally as Serpentico flexes his own muscle. The two reset, tie up, and Nese powers Serpentico into the corner. The ref counts, Nese lets off slowly, but he hits Serpentico low! Nese then brings Serpentico up to bump him off buckles. Nese soaks up the heat and goes back to Serpentico to throw hands. Serpentico falls over and Nese soaks up more heat.
Nese drags Serpentico up but Serpentico SLAPS him! Fans fire up, Nese runs in but Serpentico BOOTS him away! Serpentico then goes up to RANA Nese! Fans fire up and Serpentico flexes! Nese is annoyed, he kicks Serpentico and stomps him down! Nese drags Serpentico up, whips him to ropes, and then CLOBBERS him! Serpentico flounders, Nese is after him, and stomps him against the ropes. The ref reprimands, Nese lets off and argues with him, and Daivari gets a cheap shot on Serpentico! Fans boo but Daivari just does jumping jacks. Nese stalks Serpentico to a corner, but Serpentico kicks him!
Serpentico kicks more, stands up and he fires off body shots! Serpentico whips, Nese reverses but Serpentico sunset flips! Nese rolls through to SOBAT! Cover, TWO! Nese argues with the ref but the count was fair. Nese stalks Serpentico while fans chant “WE EAT HOT DOGS!” Nese puts Serpentico in the Tree of Woe, then goes corner to corner, but stops to sit down, and do ab crunch kicks! The ref reprimands, Nese lets off, and Nese soaks up the heat. Nese counts his abs, then pushes Serpentico around. Cover, TWO! Nese wraps on body scissors and he squeezes Serpentico! Fans rally up as Serpentico endures!
Serpentico powers up to throw hands on Nese! Daivari says those are closed fists but the ref says they’re not. Nese CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS and then punches away on Serpentico! Nese looms over Serpentico, then taunts him as Serpentico sits up. Serpentico flips Nese off! And throws body shots! Serpentico throws hands, then JAWBREAKERS! Fans fire up and Serpentico runs in, but Nese UPPERCUTS back! Nese then runs Serpentico for the BULLDOG HOTSHOT! Serpentico is down, Nese goes to the apron, PREMIER TRIANGLE FLOPS as Serpentico moves! Fans rally as Nese staggers up.
Serpentico rallies with forearms and clotheslines! Serpentico whips, Nese reverses but Serpentico tilt-o-whirls to headscissor! And then COMPLETE SHOT! Nese goes to a corner, Serpentico runs in as the fans fire up, GAMANGIRI! Fans chant for “S A P!” but Nese reels Serpentico in! CORNER GERMAN!! Nese then sits Serpentico up, for the PREMIER KNEE!! Cover, Nese wins!
Winner: Tony Nese, by pinfall
His opinions on people’s lifestyles, physiques and whatever else aside, Nese proves he can get it done. Will this be the start of Nese become a premier champion in ROH?
Backstage interview with Kiera Hogan.
Dasha is with the fired up- Wait, that’s not Kiera. That’s Athena cosplaying as Kiera to mock her! “That’s all, period, Lexi! That’s all, period! Period period period, Lexi! I’m Kiera Hogan, I am the hottest flame, let it be known I created the hair color blue. But guess what? I fake injuries for attention! Uh-huh, period! And y’know what else I do? I twerk for attention, baby!” But then the REAL Kiera CLOBBERS Athena! The wig goes flying off, and Kiera tells Athena to keep her name out her damn mouth! And THAT is all, PERIOD. Kiera leaves and Athena is snarling. Will the Fallen Goddess only double down and snuff out Kiera’s fire?

The chase after Athena’s gold is never ending, and so the Lucha Baddie and the Wrestling Angel are fighting for position in the division. Who gains crucial momentum as the Summer heats up?

Cover, TWO!
Mimi is hanging tough but Alize smothers her to another cover. ONE, and Alize is annoyed.

Mimi fights up, elbows Alize, but Alize throws Mimi by her hair! Alize pie faces Mimi, talks trash, and says she is the ROH veteran. There’s nothing Mimi can do!

A man born and bred for combat has left his former friends behind. Will Dutch & Vincent help Stu unleash his full potential? Or will The Peacock’s team, now back to 100%, fight their way back to the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships?
The fans are already rallying for Castle and his Boys, and they offer the Code of Honor. Stu & The Righteous uphold it, but Dutch & Stu squeeze The Boys’ hands tight! Brent & Brandon get free, and Vincent just smiles at Castle. The ref calls for things to sort out, and Castle starts against Vinnie. But then Castle tags in the returning Brent and fans rally up! Brent and Castle fire each other up, and Castle says Vinnie is in HIS world! He’s in trouble now! Brent fires off on Vinnie but Vinnie CHOPS back! And CHOPS again! Vinnie whips, Brent reverses but Vinnie then whips Brent to CLOBBER him! And then Vinnie does his snap and swagger.
Fans rally while Vinnie has a wild look in his eyes. Vinnie stalks Brent, drags him up, and whips him to a corner. Brent goes up and over, arm-drags Vinnie then slides under him to arm-drag again!

Stu kips up and fans fire up. Stu drags Brandon up, trophy lifts him, but Brandon slips free! Brandon shoves to RANA Stu out of the ring! Fans fire up and Stu glares at Castle. Stu talks some trash, Castle says he doesn’t understand what he said, and Vinnie rushes up on Castle. Castle shoves Vinnie down, but Stu POSTS Castle! Fans boo but Dutch stalks Brandon!

Vinnie is loving it, “Are you digging what I’m saying, man?”
Stu rains down fists on Brent but Castle gets in to shove him away. The ref reprimands Castle but he says those are his boys! Stu drags Brent up and brings him over, tag to Dutch. They mug Brent, and Dutch UPPERCUTS Brent down! Vinnie grins as Dutch drags Brent up to short arm LARIAT! Dutch flicks that tongue of his like the snake in the grass, and he brings Brent up. Dutch reels Brent in but Brent dodges to shove Dutch and ENZIGURI! Fans fire up, Stu tags in! Brent crawls, but Stu drags him away! Brent kicks Stu back! Hot tag to Castle!

Winners: Stu Grayson & The Righteous, by pinfall
Undefeated as a trio, these three could be a new force of nature in ROH. Will nothing stop them now that Stu has left The Dark Order? Speaking of…
Backstage interview with The Dark Order.
Dasha is with Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds & John Silver and notes what we just saw with Stu & The Righteous winning. Silver says, “You boys wanna get nuts? Let’s get nuts! We watched your match. You guys talk about being violent, and to be honest, we’re not impressed! We can get a hell of a lot more violent than that!” Reynolds says Stu left them, that’s fine. A lot of people have left The Dark Order, and they did nothing about it. But you wanna talk about how The Dark Order used to be the lions of AEW? Boys, you just woke these lions up! Uno asks Stu, “Are these men your brothers? Are The Righteous your family?
“Will they see you at your lowest? Will they help you when you’re down? I don’t think so. In fact, will these men bleed for you? Guess we’ll just have to wait and see, Stu.” What are they implying with all this? How violent are things about to get between these trios?
ROH Women’s World Championship Proving Ground Match: Athena VS Trish Adora!
The Fallen Goddess is always aggressive, but will she be downright vicious after what happened with Kiera Hogan? Or will the AfroPunk be able to take advantage of an angry Athena?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and fans rally up as Adora has her dukes up. Athena is annoyed already and she steps to Adora. But then Athena backs off to go to the apron. She gets fans cheering her on now and is happier. Athena steps back in, but she has to remember there’s a ten minute time limit. Athena and Adora approach, Athena shoots around to waistlock, but Adora wrenches out to an ELBOW BREAKER! Adora keeps on that arm, she wrangles Athena, and fans rally up. Athena headscissors to bring Adora down, but Adora kips free. The two reset and fans rally up. Adora eggs Athena on and the two tie up again.
Athena puts Adora in a corner, the ref counts, and Athena lets off slowly. But then Athena headlocks! Athena laughs, grinds the hold, but Adora powers up and out. They RAM shoulders and both women stay up! Fans fire up and Adora eggs Athena on again. Athena says okay, test of strength! She’s the champ, let’s go! Adora holds her hand up but she’s taller than Athena so Athena can’t reach. Athena complains, so Adora brings the hand down. They knuckle lock, then Adora kicks the legs, steps over and JAMS an arm, to then top wristlock! Fans rally as Adora YANKS the arm, wrenches and YANKS it again!
Adora has a double wristlock but Athena fights. Adora WRINGS Athena into buckles! Fans fire up but Athena bails out. Adora waits on Athena but Athena says the ref doesn’t tell her what to do. Adora rushes out, Athena rushes in! Athena then gets Adora’s leg, DRAGON SCREW! Adora hobbles to the floor but Athena goes out to DROPKICK her into the steel steps! Fans rally while Adora flounders around the way. Athena kicks Adora, KICKS her again, then puts her back in the ring. Athena hurries in after Adora to FOREARM her in the back! Athena gets the bad leg, stomps away on it, and then drops knees on the knee!

Adora kicks more but Athena turns her over and ties up the legs! BOW ‘N’ ARROW CROSSFACE! Adora endures, crawls forward, but Athena fishhooks her! The ref reprimands, Athena pulls hair, but Adora gets the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts as Athena pulls on the legs, and Athena lets off at 4. Adora clutches her leg but the fans duel. Athena yanks the dollar outta Adora’s garter belt! That dollar isn’t just a dollar to Adora and Athena knows it.
Athena pie faces Adora, eggs her on, and SLAPS her! “You ain’t got nothing! Porcelain broad!” But Adora gest around to BASEMENT GERMAN SUPLEX! Athena gets back up, but runs into a tilt-o-whirl BACKBREAKER! Athena staggers, Adora BOOTS her down! Fans fire up and Adora aims at Athena in the corner. Adora runs in to UPPERCUT! And then yanks Athena into a POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Athena is still in this but Adora shakes out the bad leg. Adora stalks Athena to ropes, stomps her, then stomps her some more. Fans rally, Adora drags Athena but Athena kicks her away.
Athena goes to a corner, Adora runs in but Athena blocks the kick! Athena puts that leg on the ropes, to KICK it! Wheelbarrow victory roll sends Adora into buckles! Athena SUPERKICKS! Adora wobbles, Athena climbs the corner, THE O FACE!! Cover, Athena wins!
Winner: Athena, by pinfall (denies Trish Adora a title match)
The Fallen Goddess got a fight outta Adora, but still comes out on top. Athena offers a handshake to keep the Code of Honor, and Adora reaches out, but Athena DECKS her!! Athena cheers herself on, then brings Adora around. But wait! Here comes Kiera! Kiera already got Athena once, and she has a trash can lid this time! Kiera rushes in but Athena CLOBBERS her first! Athena rains down fists but Kiera turns it around! Refs rush out but fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” Athena gets the trash can lid to SMACK Kiera! Athena scares off the refs, but then security rushes out. Athena glares at them, and then says fine, she’s done.
But she DECKS a guard! Kiera SMACKS Athena with the lid!! Kiera isn’t done there, she goes looking for something under the ring. She brings out a TABLE! The fans love it as Kiera puts the table in the ring. Then she DECKS the other security guard as she gets in. Kiera sets that table up in a corner, but Athena SPEARS her through it!! Fans fire up again while the refs check Athena and Kiera. They’re BOTH out cold, so refs call over medics. They help Kiera out of the wreckage, and then Athena. Are these two going to tear it all down just to prove who is the alpha female in ROH?
Mark Briscoe VS Anthony Henry w/ JD Drake!
Surely the Sussex County Chicken heard what the Saint of Augusta said earlier, and is ready for a serious fight. Will Mark make Henry #ManUp? Or will this Workhorsemen fulfill his promise to visit the sins of FTR upon their friend?
The Code of Honor is upheld, but with some sarcasm from Henry. Then Henry headlocks Mark as the bell rings! Mark powers out and RAMS shoulders with Henry! Mark fires up but Henry SOBATS!

Mark endures and fans rally, and he reaches out with a foot for the ROPEBREAK! Henry lets go in frustration, and he dares Mark to hit him. Mark swings but Henry bobs ‘n’ weaves! Henry fires off fast strikes, a BOOT, then runs in at the corner. Mark ELBOWS Henry, and BOOTS him back! Fans fire up with Mark, brings Henry up and CHOPS! Mark ROCKS Henry, again, and reels him in to suplex. Henry slips free, shoves, and SNAP GERMANS! BUZZSAW! Cover, TWO!! Mark survives and Henry argues the count.

Now that’s how you #ManUp! Samoa Joe is still ROH World Television Champion, will Mark get his shot next?
Tony Khan speaks.
“Hey everyone, it’s great to be here tonight for a very special ROH match in Colorado Springs. Last week, as the chairman of ROH, I appointed a new Board of Directors of myself and two other members. And I’m here tonight for a very special match. Before I say anything else, I’d like to introduce my fellow member of the board, I really like him a lot, ladies and gentlemen, a manager of great wrestlers and a great person himself, Stokely Hathaway.” Stokely walks over and says he appreciates the introduction. Tony appreciates Stokely saying that. And the third member of the board is Jerry Lynn, he is ringside for this next match contested under Pure Rules, Daniel Garcia VS NJPW’s DKC, a protégé to ROH Pure Champion, Katsuyori Shibata.
And while Tony has Stokely here, he just wants to say, he really appreciates Stokely and the job he’s doing already. Stokely thanks Tony for that and says he’s holding back tears. Stokely has already had great ideas, such as the handicap match of Action Andretti VS The Mogul Embassy. Stokely says he never finished what he said, but they’re obviously on the same page. Tony says yeah, that initial idea planted the seed for tonight’s main event, an ROH World Six Man title match of The Mogul Embassy VS Action Andretti, AR Fox & Darius Martin. An exciting show already, a lot has happened, and certainly an exciting situation between Athena and Kiera Hogan.
Stokely has an idea for that. They’ve been having a back and forth, so perhaps we settle this in Chicago. It’ll be a Chicago Street Fight for the ROH Women’s World Championship! Tony loves it! Great idea! It’s booked! ROH TV in Chicago, at the United Center, Athena VS Kiera for the title in a Chicago Street Fight!! Big thumbs up from the Board of Director, but who will leave the Second City as number one?
Pure Rules Match: Daniel Garcia VS The DKC!
The Dragonslayer has already called out Shibata, and he even added Orange Cassidy to the list just last night on Dynamite. Will Garcia take down THE Dylan Kyle Cox? Or will DKC make NJPW and his sensei proud?
As Tony Khan let us know, Jerry Lynn is ringside as one of the three judges for this match, alongside Christopher Daniels and Dean Malenko. The Code of Honor is NOT upheld as Garcia kicks DKC’s hand away. The bell rings, the two tie up, and Garcia gets around to waistlock and SLAM! Garcia floats around on DKC, then slaps him around. Garcia “kicks dirt” while soaking up heat from the fans. DKC gets up and cools off. They tie up, DKC wrenches and wristlocks but Garcia wrenches and wristlocks back. DKC wrenches, wristlocks, and the fans chant “YOU’RE A WRESTLER!” at Garcia.
Garcia powers DKC to a corner, the ref calls a neutral ropebreak, and Garcia lets off. Garcia swings, DKC dodges, and DKC CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Garcia turns things around, DKC dodges again to CHOP and CHOP! DKC fires off more CHOPS, then whips, but Garcia reverses to CLOBBER DKC! Garcia eggs DKC on, kicks him around, and fans boo. Garcia stands DKC up to CHOP! Garcia whips, DKC ducks ‘n’ dodges and RANAS! Fans fire up and DKC runs in, flying-mare! DKC keeps moving, basement dropkick! Fans fire up and DKC RIDGE HANDS! Fans fire up and Garcia goes to a corner.
DKC whips but Garcia reverses. Garcia runs in but into a BOOT! DKC goes up but Garcia SHOVES him to the floor! Fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Garcia soaks up the heat. Garcia then feels the stinging in his chest. The ring count starts, fans rally for DKC and he stands at 5 of 10. DKC gets in but Garcia stomps away! Garcia stands on DKC, flexes, but the ref counts. Garcia lets off, and he drags DKC up. Garcia talks trash, snap suplexes, then floats to a cover, TWO! Garcia is annoyed but he pulls DKC’s hair. The ref reprimands, Garcia lets off, then drags DKC up. Garcia whips, DKC sunset flips! But Garcia rolls through!
Garcia has a leg, turns DKC over, STF! DKC endures, fans rally, and he crawls his way forward! DKC keeps fighting, even as Garcia pulls back! DKC reaches out, ROPEBREAK! Garcia lets go, but that is DKC’s first of three. Garcia makes sure everyone knows it, too. Fans boo Garcia but he kicks DKC to a corner. Garcia stomps away, the ref counts, and Garcia runs corner to corner. Garcia is mocking Shibata, but then he stops to do his dance. Fans boo but Garcia just keeps it up. Garcia stands DKC up but DKC CHOPS and CHOPS! Garcia kicks low, scoops, but DKC slips free! DKC ducks ‘n’ dodges and CANNONBALL ATTACKS!
Fans fire up as Garcia goes to a corner. DKC goes to the opposite, he fires up but Garcia runs in first. DKC BOOTS Garcia, goes up and BOOTS him again! DKC RIDER KICKS from the corner! Fans fire up and DKC watches Garcia get up. “IKU ZO~!” DKC clinches, and RIDGE HAND CHOPS away on Garcia! Fans fire up and DKC CLOBBERS Garcia with one more! DKC jumps for a FALLING RIDGE HAND! Cover, TWO! But into a RINGS OF SATURN! Garcia endures, fights around, and he goes to the ROPEBREAK! DKC lets go and Garcia uses his first, almost unheard of for Garcia in these kinds of matches!
DKC rushes in but Garcia blocks the takedown by pulling hair! Garcia gets the legs and shouts “I’m a SPORTS ENTERTAINER!” WALLS OF JERICHO!! Shoutout to The Wizard Garcia follows, but fans still rally for DKC! DKC endures, fights up, turns things back over, and he drags Garcia to a cradle! TWO!! Garcia runs in, spins DKC around and CODE BREAKER! Cover, but Garcia lets of!? Garcia wants to make DKC pay, and he puts him in the DRAGONTAMER!! DKC taps, Garcia wins!
Winner: Daniel Garcia, by submission
At 7 minutes, 26 seconds, Red Death brings DKC down! And then he sits cross-legged, just like Shibata. Garcia then mockingly shakes DKC’s hand to keep the Code of Honor. But will The Wrestler humble Garcia when they finally meet in the ring?
Backstage interview with The Mogul Embassy.
Dasha is with Prince Nana and the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions. She says that for weeks, Nana has complained that Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona don’t have sufficient competition. Kaun asks how many days their reign is at now, because he is getting bored! Nana agrees, the entire Embassy is sick of the lollygagging! Week after week after week, they’ve faced losers after losers after losers! How many times are they gonna get the win? Brian Cage says week after week is what it has been. WEAK competition!
Look at tonight’s challengers! Action Andretti? His 15 minutes of fame are gonna be gone. See you in catering, buddy. Darius Martin? Yeah, his real partner, Dante, is hurt and on the shelf. This isn’t even Darius’ real team! And oh, AR Fox? Been there, done that. Line ’em up, they’ll keep knockin’ ’em down one after another. The Embassy goes out there, gets their ish in, owns the night and the spotlight, and they do what they do better than anyone else and own the show. Nana says you know the saying: The Mogul Embassy is forever, and in Swerve We Trust. Liona roars, but will they all have the last laugh here tonight?
Skye Blue VS Viva Van!
Just last night on Dynamite, Chicago Skye was so close to having gold! But of course, The Outcasts cheated another one and the AEW Women’s World Championship is still on #ToniTime. Willow Nightingale will help Skye seek vengeance on AEW Collision’s debut episode, so can Skye rebound here on ROH? Or will The Hellbent Vixen drag Skye further down?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the two circle. Fans rally as the two circle and tie up. They go around, Skye gets around to a waistlock, but Viva sits down. Viva rolls, wrenches, wristlocks, and keeps Skye from ropes. Skye rolls but Viva rolls with her! Viva keeps on the arm but Skye spins and whips then follows to run Viva over! Fans fire up as things speed up and Skye cartwheels over. Viva dodges, but Skye tilt-o-whirls! Viva sits up, blocks a kick but the BASEMENT ROUNDHOUSE hits! Fans fire up as Viva gets up in a corner. Skye ROCKS Viva, whips her corner to corner, but Viva goes up and out!
Viva blocks Skye’s punch, shoulders in, then slingshots up and over to keep moving, WHEEL KICK! Fans fire up with Viva and she covers, TWO! Skye survives but Viva keeps her cool. Viva digs her knees into Skye to pull her into the BOW ‘N’ ARROW STRETCH! Skye endures being bent back, and fans rally as she pops free. Cover, TWO!

ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships: The Mogul Embassy VS Action Andretti, AR Fox & Darius Martin!
Speaking of championships, Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona just said they’re getting bored at being this dominant. Will their “boredom” continue as they crush these three high-flyers? Or will the Sight to See, the Whole Fox’n Show & The Air Wolf catch the Embassy sleeping and take their titles?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see if there’s an answer to the question, “Who betta?”
The Code of Honor is reluctantly upheld and the trios sort out. Fox and Cage start and the two circle. The two tie up, and Cage shoves Fox away hard! Cage taunts Fox for thinking he’s the new champ. Fox runs in but Cage runs him over! Cage asks, “Who betta than Cage?” but Fox kips up! Fox kicks low, kicks again, but Cage ducks. Fox cravats, Cage powers out and Cage runs Fox over! Cage drags Fox up to ROCK him with a forearm, then whips him corner to corner. Fox goes up and over and handsprings away, to then slip out and trip Cage up! Fans fire up as Fox slingshots to SPLASH! But Cage sits right up and carries Fox!
Nana says that’s ingenuity right there! Cage swinging SLAMS Fox down! Fox flounders, and he gets to his corner to tag Darius. Cage runs in but into a GAMANGIRI! Darius then goes up, leaps, but Cage gets under. Liona swipes at Darius but misses, and Darius dodges Cage to DROPKICK! Kaun tags in, he rushes in but into fast hands! Darius CHOPS, whips, but Kaun blocks! Kaun whips but Darius goes up and over and headlocks Kaun. Kaun powers out, Darius RAMS Kaun, but Kaun comes back to CLOBBER Darius! Kaun drags Darius up to ROCK him, SPLASH him in the corner, and he tags Liona!
Liona and Kaun fire each other up, and Kaun whips Liona in to ELBOW Darius! Liona stands on Darius’ back, digs his heel in, and the ref counts. Tag to Kaun, Liona SPLASHES Darius’ back, and Kaun stands Darius up. Darius JAWBREAKERS Kaun, fires off on Liona & Cage, then ELBOWS Kaun. Darius fires off more hands on Cage & Liona, then leaps, but Kaun catches him! But Darius turns that into a SATELLITE DDT! Hot tags to Liona and Action! Action dodges to kick and kick, but Liona blocks! Liona spins Action but Action ENZIGURIS! Action whips but Liona blocks! Liona whips and runs in, but into BOOTS!
Action ELBOWS cage, goes up the corner, but Liona DOUBLE CHOPS him down! Kaun gets Action up to whip him into the apron! And again! And again! And then the POST! Nana applauds while Kaun puts Action in. Liona hits Action with an URENAGE! Liona BLASTS Fox & Darius off the corner, SENTONS Action, covers, TWO! Liona drags Action over, tags in Cage, and they mug Action. Cage HEADBUTTS Action down, drags him back up, and Cage puts Action in a corner. Cage RAMS into Action, stands him up, and CHOPS again! Nana taunts Fox and Cage flexes. Cage whips, Action ducks ‘n’ dodges and springboards, DESTROYER!!
Fans fire up while both men are down! They crawl for their corners, hot tag to Fox! Fox runs in but so does Liona! Fox LARIATS, but Liona stays up! Fox LARIATS again, and again, but Liona swings back! Fox goes Matrix then PELES! Liona runs in again but Fox dumps him out! Kaun gets in but Fox BOOTS him! Fox knuckle locks Kaun, BOOTS Cage, and then goes up and up and jumps around to FLYING ARM-DRAG RANA COMBO!! Fans fire up as Kaun gets back up but Fox throws him out. Fox kicks Cage into the ropes, BOOTS Liona off the apron, and then runs to SLIDE off Cage and WRECK Kaun at the same time!
Fox keeps moving, he goes to the apron and springboards in, MISSILE DROPKICK! Fans fire up while Cage bails out. Darius DIVES to take out Liona! Action ARABIAN PRESSES Kaun! Fox FLIES to take out Cage!! Fans are thunderous as Fox gets Cage in the ring. Fox goes up a corner, takes aim, SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Cage survives but the fans fire up for Fox.

And then Cage carries Action out, but pops him from bomb position to Gory Especial! WEAPON X!!! Cover, The Embassy wins!!
Winners: The Mogul Embassy, by pinfall (still ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions)
Nana celebrates by adding his own stomps to Action before mockingly shaking his hand. Cage, Kaun & Liona are seemingly unstoppable, how long will they reign over ROH?
My Thoughts:
A great ROH here, and just only a little over two hours. A little disappointed that the ROH World TV Championship was the opener, not the main event, but I suppose it was still clear that Samoa Joe was retaining the title. For one, his feud with Zack Sabre Jr. is about both men being TV Champions. Second, Mark Briscoe wants after Joe for a rematch. Mark wins in a really good match against Anthony Henry, and I sure hope that all this is figured with Death Before Dishonor coming up in July. But we got an awesome main event out of the Six Man titles. They made Action, Fox & Darius look great, but I should’ve figured The Embassy would retain.
But of course, that really does bring up the question of who will take those titles off The Embassy. Really good Six Man match from Stu & The Righteous VS Castle & The Boys, and I figured Stu & The Righteous would win. Really good promo from The Dark Order to respond to Stu & The Righteous from last week, and great reference to Michael Keaton’s original Batman movie from Silver ahead of The Flash movie coming out. I hope we’re getting some kind of No Disqualification Six Man Tag out of these teams, winner moving on to face The Embassy and possibly take those titles.
I really hope Tony Nese & Ari Daivari aren’t going to make that group exercise thing a regular gag. But Nese had a good match and good win against Serpentico, and looks to be the Varsity Athletes choice for singles guy. Though much like in his later days in NXT, I don’t see Nese getting a title when we’ve got great wrestlers like Orange Cassidy, Shibata, Samoa Joe, Claudio Castagnoli, etc. holding the belts. Speaking of Shibata, Garcia got a solid win over DKC to build momentum towards their Pure Championship match, which will surely happen at Death Before Dishonor. No idea how that goes, it all depends on Shibata’s NJPW plans.
Really good, really fun tag match from Iron Savages VS Titus & Tracy. Jacked Jameson is very over the top with his catchphrases and his coaching of Bronson & Boulder, but Bronson & Boulder have always been impressive, even when they were Bear Country. The ROH Tag Division has a lot of great teams in it, maybe they’ll get to figuring out #1 contenders with only a month left before Death By Dishonor. The Iron Savages weren’t really Heels in the match tonight, so I don’t think they’ll be the ones challenging The Lucha Brothers. Maybe it’s The Kingdom, who are still Heels even after that great Fight Without Honor.
The House of Heathens showing up was an interesting part of the night. Deimos looked great against Comoroto but I should’ve figured he’d lose. And great to see Teal Piper, daughter of Rowdy Roddy Piper, though I feel like she still needs some polish. But Diamante winning makes sense, she’s the one who has been building momentum. Likewise, that’s why Skye won against Viva Van. AEW/ROH has been pushing Skye, she’s been improving greatly, and she gets this win here to keep her momentum going. She went after the ROH title a little too soon, and maybe a touch too soon for the AEW title, but she’s young and can always circle back again.
Speaking of, Athena mocking Kiera was a clever promo, as was Kiera pulling a Will Smith. Athena VS Adora was really good for just a Proving Ground, but of course Athena wins. Kiera going after Athena and then the Chicago Street Fight Tony & Stokely brainstormed in their promo is great stuff. I don’t know if this is when Athena loses the title, but a Street Fight would protect her in the end. Maybe Athena makes a return to AEW to get at those titles, as she is worthy of them and actually has a chance since Jade Cargill is on hiatus right now.
My Score: 8.7/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Cody Rhodes is here!
We follow The American Nightmare as walks to gorilla, then through the curtain, and London sings along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” Cody gets his pyro, says hello to fans along the ramp, and then we get the second “WHOA~ OH~!” and pyro. Cody goes to the ring, grabs a mic, then kneels down to kiss the WWE logo on the mat. The fans continue to sing along all the way to the end, “I AM MY KINGDOM!” The fans then cheer, and Cody holds up the belt to fire them up even more! The fans now sing for “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” and he soaks it in. The fans cheer again as Cody smiles, and he finally says, “So, London~! Whaddya wanna talk about?”
The fans chant “Let’s Go, Cena!” “CENA SUCKS!” Cody hears that dueling, and he smiles again. The song of “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” returns, then they cheer. Cody says, “At WrestleMania 41, I will be facing John Cena…” The fans boo, but Cody says, “I will be facing John Cena as he goes to break the record and win 17. But that is WrestleMania 41. In just a few nights, I will be standing face to face with John Cena in this very same city, in this very same arena.” The fans cheer that, but then here comes Randy Orton! Now the fans sing along with Voices as The Viper heads to the ring. Orton also high-fives fans before he joins Cody.
Orton grabs a mic, paces while the fans keep singing on their own, and then the fans cheer. Orton says he’s not really the sentimental type, but for Cody and for London, screw it. The fans chant “R K O! R K O!” and Orton tells Cody, “Look at you. Look at who you are now, the man you are now. Look at where he came from.” The fans cheer and sing “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” and Orton says he remembers a Cody in his early 20s, just breaking into the business. Cody was busting his ass harder than anyone else. He wasn’t exactly happy, and in fact, he was frustrated. But Cody was man enough, smart enough, to know he needed to grow, and that he couldn’t grow in the WWE.
Cody wasn’t exactly treated fairly in the WWE, so Cody left the WWE! That took some big ass balls to do what he did! Cody changed the business singlehandedly, and everyone in the back knows it. And Orton appreciates Cody for it. But then Cody came back, as they all knew one day he would. And the industry has been changed forever since the day Cody came back to the WWE. Cody is a bit teary eyed as Orton says Cody’s still the same guy, he just did what he set out to do, and he grew. Orton teases he would sing along with the fans, but the fans might leave. The fans again sing “CODY! CODY RHODES~!”
Orton asks if they remember when Cody Rhodes faced Seth Rollins in Hell in a Cell. The fans cheer because they do. Orton says that was impressive, and even impossible, as he started with a partially torn pec and then ended with a fully torn pec! His body changed all kinds of shades of purple that Orton’s never seen on a human body. The pain he must have been in. Cody persevered not just for himself. Maybe not even at all for Cody. It was not even for his family legacy; it was for each and every single fan out there! Then Cody went on to WrestleMania, beat Roman Reigns and finished the story!
But there’s always another story, isn’t there? And Cody’s right in the middle of one. Cody is in charge of his legacy, and it is a privilege for Orton to watch Cody take control of it. Ticket sales have been up, there’s more intrigue around the world, and listen to the people! It is 99.9% all because of Cody! The fans cheer that, and of course they sing. Orton says what he’s trying to say is a long-winded version of he respects Cody, loves him, and is very, very proud of him. The fans cheer that! Orton then says, “But… But now it is time for WrestleMania.” They both look to the sign, and Orton says he can guarantee Cody that Orton will kick Kevin Owens so hard in the head…!
Orton can just feel it already! He forgets how many days are left, but he can’t wait to remove Kevin’s head from his shoulders. And Orton knows Cody will enter champion, exit champion, but not before he beats the holy hell outta Cena all up and down the Vegas strip! But after all the smoke clears and the dust settles, just like Orton wants Number 17, there will come a time when Orton will want Number 15. But Orton won’t kick Cody in the balls like a coward. Orton will look Cody in the eye because he respects Cody, is proud of Cody, and sees him as an equal. Orton will look Cody in the eye and tell him that he’s coming for the title.
The fans cheer but wait! Drew McIntyre is here! The fans cheer the Scottish Terminator as he steps out on stage, mic in hand, and has a wry smile on his face as he looks at the ring. Drew waves as the fans now sing, “OH~ Drew McIntyre~!” Drew says, “Isn’t this wonderful? A couple of nepo babies having a love fest in the middle of the ring> It makes me absolutely sick. What’d you just say, Randy? if Cody gets through Cena at WrestleMania, you’re coming for that title? What exactly have you done since that big comeback to justify that title match? Aside be Randy Orton. The only big moment I can remember is you being on the shelf for months and months and months.
“People like to make jokes about it, but more people talk about my five-minute-45-second title reign than your entire comeback so far! So get to the back of the line, sunshine! As for you, Cody, you should’ve listened to me. But you shunned me. You attacked me. Everybody should’ve listened to me about John Cena, but they didn’t. And the next night, he kicked you right in the twig ‘n’ berries, proving me right as usual. And the main event of WrestleMania should be Cody Rhodes VS The UK’s only ever world champion, Drew McIntyre!” Fans do like that idea. But sadly, it’s not, because of that guyliner wearing Temu Undertaker, Damian Priest!
Drew wants to talk about what is happening. And what’s gonna happen! Drew steps up to the ring while fans sing for him again. Drew says it will not be Randy that takes the title from Cody, should he get through Cena; it’ll be McIntyre. The fans cheer, but Orton says they were trying to have a moment. Can Drew just cut the crap already? Drew says okay, sure. He’ll tell the truth, because that’s all he ever does. The truth is, Kevin might have a point! If those Voices are talking to Orton again, then they know Drew very, very well. And he’s thinking, “My God, Randy looks great! Absolutely jacked! On the outside.”
On the inside, that back is hanging by a thread. And if Orton provokes McIntyre, McIntyre will break him. And as for Cody- Cody kicks Drew and UPPERCUTS him! The fans fire up, and Orton R- NO, Drew gets away! The fans boo, but the battlelines are drawn! Even if Cody makes it out of the frying pan that is Las Vegas, it’ll be into the fire that is these contenders waiting in line! Will the American Nightmare be ready for whoever comes for the crown?

Kayden & Katana talk with Zelina Vega.
Carter & Chance know La Muneca got screwed over by The Green Administration. Chelsea thinks she’s untouchable, but someone’s gonna stop them eventually. Well, speaking of, Alba Fyre leads the way in as she & Piper Niven “scope the perimeter.” There’s one small threat. They frisk the “miniscule” threat, but nothing they haven’t dealt with before. Chelsea struts in and says, “The Eagle has landed~!” Zelina says she is so glad the “Bootleg Men in Black” have crashed the party. Now, yeah, they all know she’s small. But clearly this small “threat” is a big threat to Chelsea’s title reign. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken all three of them to beat her.
KC Squared agree with that. How about tonight, we see what happens when the odds are even? Chelsea says that’s fine, because Agents P & A are ready. The Secret Her-vice has been given their next mission, but will they be able to crash the party? Or will the party crash them?

Backstage interview with Jimmy Uso.
Jackie Redmond is with #BigJim, and she says that while she knew WWE was going global this month, she did not know they’d get the slap heard ’round the world! Jimmy says he’d do it again, and he’ll slap Gunther as many times as he needs! Jimmy knows Jey is up in his own head, doubt is creeping on him. But just because Jey’s 0-3 against Gunther doesn’t mean Gunther’s unbeatable! The Ring General CAN be got! Jimmy’s going to Raw this Monday, he will bust Gunther’s ass, Jey will go to Mania and bust Gunther’s ass to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. And then they leave Las Vegas just like this: YEET!
Jimmy heads out, but then The Miz & Carmelo Hayes walk by. Miz is mocking Jimmy’s words, and he asks excuse me. Miz says it’s just funny that suddenly, Jimmy is a tough guy, even though for most of his career, he’s been “The Other Uso.” Doesn’t Jimmy get it? Jimmy and Jey are career sidekicks while Gunther is a main character. Gunther is the lead, neither Jimmy nor Jey can beat him. And here’s another thing: The Usos are just blips on the trailer that was Roman Reigns’ Bloodline. Melo says Jimmy & Jey are stuck outside the club, they can’t even get in.
Miz says as a former WWE Champion, a former WrestleMania main eventer, Jimmy will never know what it is to carry this industry. And after this year’s WrestleMania, neither will Jey. Oh, and by the way, if Jimmy ever slapped Miz like that, Jimmy would still be on the ground. Jimmy feints the slap and Miz freaks out. Jimmy says it may be him and Gunther on Monday, but he’ll holler at Aldis real quick so it can be Jimmy VS Miz here tonight. Yeah, YEET! Jimmy heads out, Melo says he thought Miz was gonna do something about the slap. Will Miz have to do something about running his mouth before he gets his teeth kicked in?
Solo Sikoa & Tama Tonga find Jacob Fatu backstage.
Solo asks Jacob what the Hell he was doing out there. Jacob goes out there alone without saying a thing to them? Jacob says he ain’t gotta say nothing to nobody! Matter fact, didn’t Solo not tap in with him last week? Tama says, “But Jacob,” only for Jacob to say, “But nothing, Tama!” Solo wants Jacob to lower his tone, but Jacob says okay. Let him be very clear with them. When it comes to Braun Strowman, Jacob WILL be the last man standing. Y’all better get in where you fit in, cuz that US title? Oh, Jacob’s bringing it home to the family. And he will do it with them, or without them! Yadada mean? Fatu heads out, is the Samoan Werewolf no longer following Solo?
Naomi speaks.
“I mean… How did we even get here? I don’t know. One thing that I do know is that I’ve always been the woman to do the right thing. I’ve always been the woman to do the right thing. So Bianca, what makes you think that my attack on Jade was anything different from me doing the right thing? When I sit here and I think about all that I’ve sacrificed, all that I’ve given, and that’s what really breaks my heart. Because through all of that, I’m made to be the bad one in this situation. I just don’t understand, how does Jade come in outta nowhere and take my place with you? I want you to ask yourself this, Bianca. Who inspired you? Hmm?
“Who’s inspired women over the last decade? Who’s always had your back from day one of you being here? Me. Not Jade. Hmm. But you know what? What I’ve learned through all of this: You teach people how to treat you. And I’m done with being treated as a third wheel. I’m done being pushed to the side, I’m done with being too nice, I’m done with being undervalued, underutilized, underappreciated! So moving forward, hmm… Moving forward, here’s my message to you, Jade. If you continue to be in my way, I strongly advise you to proceed with caution.” The Glow shows her dark side, but will the storm be moved?
Nick Aldis meets with Jade Cargill.
Speaking of, the SmackDown General Manager understands things have been rather difficult for her as of late. Jade says she’s been trying to get her hands on Naomi for the past few weeks, now where is she? No one has seen her all day, so as far as anyone knows, Naomi’s not here. Well, when Jade catches Naomi, it’s on sight. Jade leaves, B-Fab & Michin are there. They let her know that what Naomi did to her was straight trash, totally uncalled for behavior. And after Jade gets her hands on Naomi, she’ll handle that business. Jade agrees. Mia says they’ve all got business to handle. Jade’s got Naomi, and Mia’s gonna get Charlotte for messing with her girl, B.
B-Fab says Naomi’s got what’s coming to her: no sympathy, no regrets. Jade, just do what you gotta do. Oh, she will. Jade also wishes Mia luck tonight. Mia & B-Fab head out, will the Head Baddie in Charge make the Queen bow down in London?
The darkness approaches.
“You are as I was. As I am, you will be.” The shadows are starting to take shape, but is SmackDown about to fade to black?
Charlotte Flair VS Mia Yim w/ B-Fab!
The Queen looks down on everyone, so it’s no surprise that everyone else wants to take her down. Charlotte may have checked off B-Fab, but will the HBIC be a much different story? Or will Charlotte only sharpen her edge before facing Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania?
WAIT! NAOMI ATTACKS B-FAB & MICHIN! Naomi drags Mia up for a FACEBUSTER! Naomi rains down fists, the ref reprimands and the fans boo, but Naomi tells the ref to back off. Naomi then BOOTS B-Fab off the apron! Naomi goes out after B-Fab to THRWO her into barriers! Naomi SLAPS B-Fab, tells her to stay down, but B-Fab gets up. Naomi fires hands, then she SMACKS B-Fab off the desk! Naomi rains down fists, but here comes Jade! Jade hurries down the ramp, she runs around the way, but Naomi runs away! Jade makes sure B-Fab is okay, but refs have to help her to the back. And what of Mia? Will she even be able to compete?
Charlotte makes her entrance, not really caring about what Naomi just did to Mia. But that means she also crosses paths with Jade. The fans like the look of this stare down, but Jade and Charlotte both let the other slide. Charlotte gets her pyro, and it seems she’ll still get her match. Will Mia be little more than an appetizer now?
The bell rings, and Charlotte BOOTS Mia down! Cover, TWO! Mia stays in this and the fans rally up. Charlotte just struts around while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns, Charlotte has Mia down with a chinlock, but the fans rally up. Mia fights up, fires body shots, and she then blocks a shot to ROCK Charlotte! Mia ROCKS Charlotte again and again, then reels her in for a TORNADO DDT! The fans fire up as Mia hurries to cover, TWO! Mia drags Charlotte up, wrenches, but Charlotte says no to Da Feet! BIG back suplex! Mia stagger sup, Charlotte whips her, but Mia reverses! Charlotte goes up and out, BOOTS her away, then slingshots in and rolls Mia! Mia rolls through and BUZZSAWS! Mia runs corner to corner, but Charlotte avoids the cannonball!

SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO! Charlotte survives and Mia is shocked! Mia nods as the fans rally back up, and she brings Charlotte up. But Charlotte ROCKS Mia! Mia SOBATS, PELES, and then runs to PENALTY KICK! Cover, TWO! Charlotte stays in this, Mia grows frustrated, but the fans continue to rally. Mia uses that energy to stay focused, and she stalks Charlotte to waistlock. But Charlotte ELBOWS her away!
Charlotte CHOPS, and CHOPS, and CHOSP! Charlotte winds up, and she CHOPS again! Mia sputters, but then she dodges the boot! Charlotte is caught, and Mia hits a SAIDO! Charlotte flounders to a corner, the fans rally behind Mia, and Mia runs up, CANNONBALL! Mia hurries to wrench and EAT- NO, Charlotte shoves Mia away! Charlotte gets under, back suplexes, but Mia lands out! EAT DA FEET!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Charlotte’s long legs help her survive by a literal foot! Mia is beside herself while Charlotte bails out. Mia storms after Charlotte, runs up, but Charlotte dodges! Mia’s kick hits steel steps!
Mia hobbles away, goes to the apron, but Charlotte CHOP BLOCKS the bad leg out! Charlotte grabs Mia’s leg, drops a KNEE on the knee, but fans chant, “We Want Tiffy!” Charlotte just steps through, FIGURE FOUR, into FIGURE EIGHT!! Mia taps, Charlotte wins!
Winner: Charlotte Flair, by submission
Charlotte got more of a fight out of Mia than expected, but she still won. Will The Queen be more than ready to reign again after WrestleMania?
Backstage interview with Tiffany Stratton.
Jackie Redmond is with the WWE Women’s Champion and says Charlotte certainly looks confident. Let’s be real, Charlotte came at Tiff pretty hard. It got a lot of people talking. Tiff says yes, people talk. And Charlotte sure loves to hear herself talk. Ten years into the business and Charlotte is still so insecure that she can’t let a “rookie” get a word out. But last week, Tiff did learn something: She learned that walking into WrestleMania, she isn’t the one with something to lose. Truth is, if Tiff loses, then she lost to the great Charlotte Flair, as just a 25-year-old rookie with one year into SmackDown.
But if Charlotte loses… Well, then she lost to an “undeserving, delusional, unoriginal, backflip doing, blonde-hair-having, little girl.” Did she get it all? And Tiff can’t wait to hear the look on Charlotte’s face when they hear the words, “And STILL!” Then maybe Charlotte will finally shut up for the sake of literally everyone! They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, and Tiff will make damn sure what stays is Charlotte’s massive ego. Tiff is walking into and out of Mania as the WWE Women’s Champion. Tootles! Tiff heads out, will it still be #TiffyTime after WrestleMania?
Randy Orton VS Drew McIntyre!
The Viper told Cody how proud he was, but also how he wants the next shot after John Cena. The Scottish Terminator took offense to that, and basically said he is taking that shot instead. Will this match be an unofficial #1 contender’s match between these two former world champions?
SmackDown returns and McIntyre makes his entrance. The bell rings and the fans sing, “OH~, Drew McIntyre~!” and chant “R K O! R K O!” Drew and Orton circle, tie up, and they go around in a deadlock. Drew powers Orton to a corner, but Orton headlocks back. Drew powers up and out, then he runs Orton over! Orton hurries to ropes and Drew mockingly asks, “How’s the back feel, Randy?” Orton stands, he and Drew reset, and the fans duel some more. Drew calls for a knuckle lock, Orton accepts, but then Drew kicks low! Drew bumps Orton off buckles, then climbs up, but he panders for too long and Orton YANKS him down!
The fans fire up as Orton climbs now! Orton rains down fists, and the fans count to nine. Orton hops down, brings Drew around, and POSTS him for ten! Drew tumbles out of the ring, Orton goes out after him, and they’re by the desk! But Drew kicks Orton first and SMACKS him off the desk! Drew clears the desk, and he brings Orton up for the DESK- NO, Orton fights free! Orton turns things around, DESK BACK SUPLEX for Drew! The fans fire up while Orton leaves Drew behind, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Drew writhes on the floor, but Orton goes out to fetch him! Orton brings Drew around, UPPERCUTS him, then says one more time! DESK BACK SUPLEX! Drew writhes as that desk stays standing! Orton grins, refreshes the ring count, and then he storms up on Drew. Drew pokes Orton in the eye! Drew POSTS Orton now, then brings him around to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP into barriers! Orton slumps down, and Drew also grits his teeth from that double-edged attack, but Drew fires up as he stands tall. Drew drags Orton up, puts him in the ring, then stalks Orton. Drew looms over Orton, and HIP DROPS him!
Orton sputters, Drew says one more time, and he winds up for the HIP DROP! Drew paces around Orton, says maybe one more time, and he pretends he can’t hear the fans. Drew winds up again, but Orton flips over! Hip drop meets kneecaps! And then Orton pokes Drew in the eyes! The ref reprimands but Orton rises up. Drew sputters and flounders, Orton ROCKS him with a right! Drew ROCKS Orton back! Drew storms up, Orton kicks low, but Drew fires another haymaker! The haymakers go back and forth, Orton gets the edge, but Drew GLASGOW KISS HEADBUTTS! Cover, TWO! Drew clamps onto Orton with an armlock!
SmackDown returns to single picture and the fans rally up. Orton fights up, pries at the chinbar, and then throws right hands! Drew CHOPS Orton in return! The fans “WOO~” and Drew winds up. Drew ROCKS Orton again, eggs him on, then CHOPS again! Drew shoves Orton to a corner, CHOPS again, then dares Orton to fight! Drew whips corner to corner, but Orton comes back to LARIAT! And LARIAT!

Winner: Drew McIntyre, by pinfall
Kevin’s mere presence costs Orton, and now Drew has a huge win propelling him down the Road to WrestleMania!

The fans boo but Kevin and his hot pink sneakers have Orton in position, but Orton slips free and TRIPS Kevin up! Kevin hits the desk then the floor! Orton staggers around, the fans rally behind him, and Orton stalks Kevin to the corner of the barriers. Orton lines up the shot! Orton runs in, but Kevin jumps over barriers!

Fire, thunder, smoke…
The force of nature is drawing ever closer. And he’s ready to fly! REY FENIX arrives next Friday Night SmackDown!
Jimmy Uso VS The Miz!
#BigJim gave Gunther a piece of his mind and a mark on his cheek, but it seems not everyone got the message. Will the Hollywood A-lister soon star in the Uso Penitentiary? Or will he prove Jimmy is NOT ready for a world champion level opponent?
The bell rings and the two tie up. Jimmy powers Miz to a corner, Miz turns things around, and the ref counts. Miz takes a swing, Jimmy ducks it to CHOP! And CHOP! Miz shoves Jimmy back, then runs up, but Jimmy TACKLES Miz! Jimmy rains down fists, Miz shoves him away to go to ropes, but Jimmy storms back up.

Jimmy ducks the buzzsaw, Miz blocks the superkick, but the DRAGON WHIP connects! Miz rebounds to B-MOVIE KNEE!! Cover, TWO!! The parodies don’t get it done, but Miz still has his original work to fall back on. The fans rally for “UCE! OH! UCE! OH!” Miz runs in, A-LIST LARIAT! Miz shoves Jimmy down, then springboards, but into a SUPERKICK! Jimmy hurries up top, for the USO SPLASH!! Cover, Jimmy wins!
Winner: Jimmy Uso, by pinfall
Miz may be a movie star, but Big Jim’s the one winning this main event! Jimmy then borrows Joe Tessitore’s headset to call out Gunther! He’s coming after dat ass on Monday! Gunther won’t be the ring general, he will be “Private Gunther,” and he will salute Big Jim! Uh, uh, YEET! Will Jimmy be the one making examples out of the World Heavyweight Champion? Or will everything come crashing down when Gunther gets his turn?
Drew McIntyre returns backstage.
And he says hey to Lewis Capaldi, the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, and also a big fan of Drew’s. They’re ready to have a good night in the pub, but Jackie Redmond walks over to congratulate him on the win tonight. She was hoping to get some thoughts on that victory and what happened with Orton and Kevin. Drew says it’s alright, this is what happens. He doesn’t care about anybody else’s business, but no one gets away with screwing him over. And when no one meddles in his business, he wins! Drew called out Priest, where is he? Priest doesn’t have the balls! So time to get mad in the pubs, everyone’s invited!
Drew turns the corner, but PRIEST IS THERE! Priest ROCKS Drew, SMACKS him off the door, then throws him into road cases! Priest ROCKS Drew, SMACKS him off the trunk of a car, and then again! Or since it’s London, “the boot.” The driver complains, but Priest BODY SLAMS that guy through a table! Drew comes back to KNEE Priest low, SMACK him off the trunk, and then off the side! They go to the hood, or bonnet for UK. Drew drags Priest up, but Priest CLAWS Drew’s eyes! Priest then sends Drew SOUTH OF HEAVEN through the windshield! Priest tells security that he’s done for now. Any more jokes, Drew? Didn’t think so! RIP, jackass!
Priest leaves, the producers hurry to help Drew, and Drew’s got glass in his eye! Will that glass help Drew see why he shouldn’t piss off the Punisher?
CM Punk heads to gorilla.
He has a security detail with him, and he passes by Drew writhing in pain. Punk chuckles, then continues on. Will his contract signing with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins be just as brutal? We find out, after the break.
Nick Aldis is in the ring.
The SmackDown General Manager welcomes us back, and says it is his honor and privilege to be here in the O2 in London. Now, we all know why he and this table is here, and why additional security is here tonight. Tonight, we are here to sign a contract for a Triple Threat. Perhaps the biggest Triple Threat in the history of WrestleMania: Seth Rollins VS CM Punk VS Roman Reigns! The fans cheer all those names, and here comes the OTC! London puts the ones up, and Paul Heyman accompanies THE Tribal Chief out on stage. Roman raises his finger to the sky for the pyro, then security follows him to the ring.
SmackDown goes picture in picture as Roman’s entrance continues, and he raises his finger to the sky for the second round of pyro. Roman steps into the ring, SmackDown returns to single picture, and Heyman hands him a mic. The fans sing, “ROMAN! ROMAN REIGNS~!” Roman nods, the fans cheer, and now they chant, “O T C! O T C!” Roman tells London, “ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” The fans cheer again, and again chant, “O T C! O T C!” Roman smiles, but he sees the chairs are not to his liking. Heyman makes sure to put one at the head of the table. Heyman also dusts the chair off while Roman enjoys the singing of, “ROMAN! ROMAN REIGNS~!”
Roman takes a seat and says that was beautiful. The way they sing to their Tribal Chief, it’s just beautiful. The singing continues, and Heyman even joins in! Roman smiles, and he says that is what he’s talking about. That’s the OTC for you, baby! The biggest star on the planet! The OTC came here for two reasons. One: to be acknowledged; check! And two: to sign this contract. Roman does just that, and he says he’s checked both boxes. That means- “BURN IT DOWN!” Seth Rollins interrupts! The fans now sing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins struts out in his red wine paisley suit and conducts the O2 Choir all the way into the ring.
The fans cheer while Roman frowns, but Rollins takes the seat to Roman’s left. Rollins offers Heyman a chance to sing to this song, but Heyman frowns. Rollins chuckles, and he says the fans do have beautiful singing voices. He doesn’t know why Roman is in such a hurry to leave, though! This is their building! There’s a lot of history here! 12 years ago, they landed on the roof of this place in a helicopter! They came down those stairs over there, “ready to burn down the old guard!” They put the Undertaker down through the desk, and they were going to remake this company in their image!
Now don’t get him wrong, Rollins knows a lot has happened since then. They fought against each other, with each other, a little bit of love and a whole lot of hate. But Rollins dare says, as the fans continue to sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~,” that Rollins and Roman accomplished their mission. The fans start to chant for CM Punk, but Rollins tunes them out. Roman says, “We? We? You keep saying we. Our mission? We died a long time ago. It’s only been ME. You been here, but I done all the work! I’ve made this place what it is today! I took us to the level that we are here today! I made this place better than we found it!
“I’m the one that made us desirable to Netflix! I’m the one that took us into billion-dollar deals! Tell me, what have you done?” Rollins shouts, “I’ll tell you what I’ve done! YOU, YOU, YOU, it’s that mindset that keeps me having to screw you! You understand that? And your biggest mistake is not understanding the danger that’s right in front of us! The danger that’s right in front of you! You let the biggest snake in the world, CM Punk, into the garden! And you could’ve cut his head off at WarGames! But instead, you shook his hand. You could’ve let me finish him inside the cage at The Garden, but you didn’t. And now, I am left to do what I always do: Clean up your mess, again.”
Rollins drops his mic, picks up the pen, and signs his part. And now, here comes CM PUNK! The fans fire up and sing along with Cult of Personality, then join in on saying, “IT’S CLOBBERIN’ TIME~!” Punk goes to the ring, but as he grabs a mic, he goes up a corner, just like he did last Friday. “I have come here to chew bubblegum and sign a contract. And I’m all outta bubblegum.” The fans cheer the Rowdy Roddy Piper reference, and Punk hops down to take his seat on Roman’s right. Punk looks over said contract, but Roman asks if Punk needs a highlighter or something. What’s he doing? Just go to page four, clause five.
Punk does as Roman says, but Roman says Punk needs to hurry, this is precious TV time. Punk reads the segment, Roman tells Heyman to just smarten Punk up. Heyman tells Punk he knows what Punk is looking for. It is in there. They’re closing the show at WrestleMania. The fans go wild hearing that! Heyman tells Punk that he gets to live his dream of dreams. CM Punk will be a WrestleMania main eventer! The fans cheer and while Roman smiles, Rollins is furious. Roman says, “One man’s dream is another man’s favor! CHECK!” Wait, this was the favor? Rollins says no! This is not something to laugh at, and Punk does not get to tear up!
Punk is NOT deserving! He does NOT deserve this! The fans boo but Rollins continues to throw a fit! Main eventing WrestleMania is SACRED, the most important thing in the world to Rollins! More than anything! Except the fact that Punk NEVER gets to main event! This is all Roman’s fault! This is all Heyman’s fault! Rollins THROWS his mic down, paces angrily, but Punk picks up the mic. The fans cheer Punk on again, and Punk stands to thank London, to thank Chicago, to thank Louisville, Kentucky, and to thank ALL the fans. As corny as it sounds, he thanks the WWE Universe who stood by him and chanted his name for TEN LONG YEARS!
Roman says hold on, hold on. Punk shouldn’t be thanking the fans! He should be thanking the Tribal Chief! It is because of Roman that Punk gets this honor! So please, take this moment, close the show with that acknowledgement! Do this the right way. The credits are already rolling as Punk kneels before Roman!? Punk smiles, and he thanks “My Tribal Chief, the holder of the ula fala, the Head of the Table, the… Big Dog? Thank you for allowing a kid from Chicago to be graced by your presence. Thank you, My Tribal Chief, for allowing me to stand in your ring. And thank you so much. Thank you, Roman Reigns, so very much.
“But because of you, I will see you in the main event of WrestleMania.” And again, Rollins is agonizing over this. Punk finishes putting his signature on the contract, and London tells him, “You Deserve It!” Punk thanks Roman again, and then says, “But that’s not the favor that I’m owed.” WHAT?! Roman looks at Heyman and Heyman can’t look him in the eye! If getting this Triple Threat made into the main event isn’t the gift of the Wise Man, then what is?!
My Thoughts:
A good SmackDown, but they pulled off quite the paradox. They made it feel like they were struggling to fill three hours, yet they also filled the show to the point where that contract signing segment was almost bleeding over the three hour mark. Ironically, part of the problem was just how excited the London crowd was for this. The superstars still wanted to enjoy the chants and songs, but that’s time SmackDown doesn’t have to spare. It made the opening promo from Cody, Orton and Drew take longer, and it kinda did the same to the contract signing at the end. Even so, we still got a very good promo, and good stuff to set up Orton VS McIntyre.
Orton VS McIntyre was a great match, but of course Kevin costs Orton. McIntyre gets his win, Kevin and Orton have a bit of a brawl, but of course Kevin ends up on the losing end and runs off. McIntyre’s trash talk also comes back to bite him as Priest gets the better of him in their brawl. Here’s hoping Drew didn’t actually get glass in his eye, but that being the thing in kayfabe can be some good stuff. I can imagine McIntyre with an eyepatch, and he takes it off at the opportune time to get the better of Priest in their match. Also what a fitting choice for Punk to be passing by Drew suffering because of real glass.
Very good title matches tonight, but of course the status quo was kept. Pretty Deadly gets to look great here in London, but the Profits only just got the belts, they’re not going to be transitional champions like that. And Knight VS Braun was really good stuff, but honestly, Jacob Fatu going after them both should’ve been a given. Jacob also had a great promo with Solo & Tama to start adding to that divide between Jacob and Solo. I would hope Solo doesn’t screw Jacob out of the US Championship, but it feels like he will as Solo won’t stand for Jacob defying his authority, even though Solo’s been trying to make Jacob the champion all along.
Very good stuff from Jimmy Uso tonight, from his promo with #MeloDon’tMiz and then a great match with Miz. Their match ended up the de facto main event match, so that’s also great for both guys. Great win for Jimmy, but that’s likely because Jimmy is losing big time to Gunther on Monday. And it might just be me, but it feels like only now is the Jey VS Gunther build really moving, largely in part because Jimmy got involved. Jimmy’s promo after his match is something along the lines of what Jey should be saying. But I suppose as brothers, Jimmy is the one who knows Jey best and knows what Jey needs to be motivated again. And seeing Jimmy get beat up by Gunther will definitely motivate Jey…
Good final vignettes for Rey Fenix and Aleister Black. I’m a little surprised they confirmed Rey Fenix is showing up next week, and that they confirmed who Rey Fenix even is. I believe commentary confirmed Rey Fenix is Penta’s real brother, even namedropped “Lucha Brothers,” but all that is still surprising considering Fenix is going to start on SmackDown. Aleister’s vignette (at least I am fairly confident it’s his) was giving us glimpses of his silhouette, but I think there was usage of AI in the snake imagery. It was fine they did it for El Grande Americano because that is all trolling, but they really should try and do things the old fashioned way of photoshop and stock imagery.
Very good stuff in the Women’s Division tonight, though the WWE Women’s Championship portion was the weaker. Naomi’s got a great Heel persona going, her promo was great, and her going after B-Fab & Michin over them supporting Jade was a great detail. Jade runs Naomi off, helps B-Fab, but there was no helping Michin in being fed to Charlotte. Tiffany had a decent promo, and it does fit how Charlotte kept her from speaking so she finally gets things out here. It didn’t really add that much, though, but they already gave us a great brawl so not sure what more they can give.
KC Squared VS The Secret Her-vice was a very good match, but of course Chelsea made sure her team won. A Six Woman Tag of Zelina & KC Squared VS The Green Administration is certainly coming, to help give us Zelina VS Chelsea for the Women’s US Championship.
My Score: 8.7/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 3.27.2025
Bad news out of the TNA management side, but this is a taped episode from El Paso! So we won’t see any of the fallout just yet!
Now we all heard the news about the TNA change in hierarchy, and I…have no positive outlook on that. Delirious sucked at booking and creative in the dying days of ROH before it got bought as a B show. Dreamer having even more control is concerning because his ideas the last two years haven’t been much better.
Gail leaving makes more sense to me. Be it firing or a “you can’t quit, you’re fired” kind of situation, the Knockouts division is the worst it’s been in a long time and Gail was close with Scott D’Amore. So I don’t think Gail parting ways is as big of a problem since TNA has slowly been bleeding out with the Scott faithful.
Granted, I think the next few shows were already taped before the firing so things shouldn’t be completely unwatchable for at least a week or two. So let’s see where we’re going.
.@WeAreRosemary sends @XiaBrookside a CHILLING message!

Results:
Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley vs Elegance Clique w/Personal Concierge
Ash and Gigi start off, Gigi with a little Rascalz after her first takedown. So both her and Wentz are making it obvious something’s going on between them, and I’m not mad at it. Good for my man Wentz.
Tatum and Gigi get some quick tandem offense in, Ash does manage to scurry off to a tag and Heather gets bent into a Pretzel. Some kind of Inverted Tarantula from Tatum, Gigi tags in, Bronco Buster on Heather followed by Kawada Kicks. Heather sells against the ropes, Gigi goes for a Hesitation Dropkick, but Concierge pulls her away so Gigi crashes and burns. Ref is distracted, Ash gets in some cheap shots and then the Elegant duo starts working over Gigi. A few quick tags, but once Heather comes in, Gigi fights out of the corner, gets the hot tag to Tatum. Tatum stacks up both Elegance members, Corner Stacked Crossbody, Butterfly Suplex and an Elbow Drop with some some flare. Tatum goes to the top rope, Heather pulls Gigi off the apron, Concierge shoves Tatum off the turnbuckle and Ash hits Rarefied Air for the win.
Post match the Elegance Clique wants to make their wish with the cake, they light the candles and Tatum and Gigi recover enough to do what we all expected last week, the cake in the face spot. Some…suggestive licking from both of our Hot Topic Hotties, so…no complaints here.
.@Ashamae_Sebera, @Heathereckless and @IamGeorgeIceman are having a meltdown!

Fir$t Cla$$ & Frankie Kazarian vs Laredo Kid, Octagon Jr & Chavo Guerrero Jr
Chavo and Kaz start since he’s King Petty, a quick rope run turns into a Headscissor from Chavo. Kaz recovers, they lock up, Kaz hits the Knee Lift during the lock up to tag out to KC. KC pulls off some athletic dodges, gloats a bit so Chavo waits, measures and nails a gorgeous Dropkick. Laredo comes in on fire, quick high spots that send KC bouncing around like HBK against Hulk. KC powders after sells the Satellite Takedown, AJ checks on him and we go to commercial.
Back from commercial, Octagon is lighting up KC’s chest with overhand chops, he perches, Sunset Headscissor Flip from corner to corner, KC tries to Back Drop him but Octagon does a headstand, kicks KC away and lays him out with a high spot. AJ gets on the apron to stop Octagon from running the ropes, the referee has a stroke or something because he stops paying attention and AJ pulls Octagon out of the ring and chucks him. KC with the Tope con Hilo and tag (tag ropes haven’t mattered since the 80s we all know this). So AJ is getting taunted by the crowd in Spanish, but he’s manhandling Octagon since it looks like a Child fighting their parent. AJ knocks off Chavo and Laredo, Laredo pops up and tries to get involved but he’s caught on the shoulders, Octagon goes for the Crossbody but gets caught and AJ pulls off “World’s Strongest Wasteland” but Chavo breaks up the pinfall. AJ throws Octagon into the corner, Tennessee Whiskey, and tag out to KC. KC hits a few moves, but starts to lose the momentum until he connects with a Super Kick. Simultaneous rope run into the Dueling Crossbodies, so we get the timely tag outs from both sides. Kaz and Laredo come in, Laredo lands like two moves before Kaz hits a Sole Butt, Lariat and eats his lunch. KC and Kaz try to double team Laredo but he fights out and the crowd is chanting for Chavo.
Chavo tags in, and he’s rocking KC, Saito Suplex, Low Bridge to AJ, Reverse the Whip so Chavo goes to the corner and perches, KC feeds, Chavo Backflips to safety, rolls through and lays out KC. Chavo is feeling himself, 3 Amigos start on KC but only 2, Kaz comes in and Chavo switches to Kaz for the Amigos, only 2 again before AJ breaks it up. AJ goes for the disrespect, but Chavo counters and hits the 3 Amigos on the biggest Culero. Aztec Warriors dive to stop AJ and Kaz, KC tries a Dirty Victory Roll but Chavo kicks out. GORY BOMB into FROG SPLASH!
Chavo looked fantastic and he’s the one in the best shape in the ring. I wouldn’t be mad at more Chavito.
Jacy Jayne vs Masha Slamovich
I expect very little from this match.
Collar and Elbow, gator rolling for the first 30 seconds or so, then Jacy goes to some Hair Pull takedowns and does a little taunt before Masha pops back up and hits a Lariat into a Dive. Jacy sells it like she’s really hurt, even the ref tries to hold Masha back a little before Masha gets annoyed and just grabs her, Masha throws her in, looks for a Dive and Jacy sees it and powders. Masha tries to go back to the well for the Dive again but Jacy hits the Uppercut and then an Apron Run PK to drop Masha. Forearms rain down into a Foot Choke as Jacy continues to arrogantly play to the crowd. Another Foot Choke into a Cannonball, and near fall.
Masha gets space with a Sole Butt, tries to snap off Requiem but Jacy fights off, fights through a Sunset Flip another effective PK keeps Masha on her ass. Jacy looks for a kinda half-assed Camel Clutch as Masha is fighting up, but Jacy runs her into the corner, gets distracted mouthing off to the crowd, so Masha recovers, 5 Hole Up Kick sends Jacy into the corner, Yakuza Kick into Capo Kick for two. Requiem attempt again, but Jacy pushes off, a little back and forth, Masha tries a Backslide but Jacy gets away and hits a V-Trigger but only a 2 count. Jacy looks for the Discus Punch but Masha ducks it, they strike back and forth, but some dodges from both leave the exchange more even. Jacy with the Front Kick to the face sends Masha to the outside. Jacy wants another PK, but Masha blocks, Electric Chair Apron Snake Eyes. Masha throws her in, a PK into a near all. Requiem attempt 3, and thwarted from Jacy with a Superkick into a Neckbreaker. Senton misses from Jacy, Buzzsaw Kick, into Spinning Back Kick and Russian Death Device for the win.
Better than I expected, and Tessa attacks as soon as the bell rings. Xia Brookside and Lei Ying Li make the save after Tessa grabs the belt.
Eric Young w/two losers vs Ace Austin
Ace and Eric tie up, World of Sport start but as soon as Ace starts to get away EY punches him in the face. Eric looks at the camera and says “This is what trust looks like”, turns his back on Ace, when Ace looks to attack, the loser duo cut him off. EY takes advantage of the weird situation, but Ace with some Up and Over quick spots, into an Inside Cradle and La Magistral. EY kicks out of the quick flash attempts, but eats a Dropkick, and Ace goes all Speed Kils on him with fast strikes and then a face buster for another near fall. Strike spot very early in the match, Ace gets the best of it, goes for a Tear Drop Suplex but EY sits on it to block, Headlocks to keep him close and then a snap Lariat into beatdown bully tactics. EY takes the referee’s attention and one of the nerds punch Ace in the face.
Eric tries to lean on Ace, but Ace fires, a few strikes, Click Click Boom, the Miz Seated Lariats in the corner, Mochizuki Triangle Kick connects! Only a 2 count, but Ace seems to be in control. Ace puts EY on the ropes, a few strikes to keep him rocked, wants a Superplex, but EY blocks, bites the face and Macho Elbow gets a very close two count. EY tries the Piledriver but Ace turns it into a Jacknife Cradle,Spinning Heel Kick, calls for The Fold, but the losers hop on the apron to distract, Ace attacks them. Ace tries to time out the Triangle Kick again, but Eric dodges, throws Ace head first through the buckles. As Ace stumbles out of the corner, Piledriver, and it’s over.
Oh look it’s the “we’ll hear from Joe Hendry” segment. Again, I’ve loved this gimmick since Day 1, even didn’t hate his What Culture Pro stuff, but there is such a thing as milking a cow too much.
Elijah interrupts the whole “Who’s next” speech. When Elijah comes out he says he’s not the challenger and he believes in Joe. The crowd wants Elijah to turn on Hendry. Elijah pauses for a moment, and starts proving his friendship with stating his favorite color and a little “You Got a Friend in Me”. The crowd is into singing along and waving their cameras like Lighters to a 30 year old song. THANKFULLY Kaz breaks up the hug fest. Now he gets the “Culero” chant.
Kaz pulls out a Bass…what the hell is this Jam Session. Kaz has to warm up so he plays “La Cucaracha” on the bass. Kaz…is a national treasure. Hendry kicks Kaz out of the ring after his Heelish and playfully racially charged song choices. Kaz tries to sow dissension, but Joe and Elijah pinball Kaz between them. Kaz slips a power move and tries to shove Elijah into Joe but Elijah puts the brakes on, a small tense moment. But then Joe and Elijah play “Nah Nah Nah Nah, Hey Hey, Goodbye”…and that goes right into a commercial. Oddly…perfect.
Nic Nemeth w/Ryan Nemeth vs Leon Slater
Nic shoots the half immediately for a flash pinfall but Leon kicks out at one. Nic continues to keep things grounded with his amateur wrestling skills, and then does a little Dolph Ziggler show off. So Nic isn’t really taking this seriously, and Leon starts getting the best of things with an Arm Wringer, into drag, Shoulder Tackle and rope run as Nic tries to Leap Frog and Leon puts on the brakes and just shoves Nic on his ass. Nic gets annoyed, a few strikes, grinds his face along the ropes, but Leon keeps stringing some offense together, Back Handspring Elbow into his Corner con Hilo.
Ahh the classic formula of the commercial gives the heel the advantage, Twisting Suplex from Leon stops Nic’s offense momentum, right hand, Leon lifts Nic up for something, Nic slips it, kicks him in the gut, looks for the FameAsser, but Leon catches him into a Blue Thunder Bomb variation. Slater wants the Swanton 450, but Nic powders. Leon tries to adjust into a Dive, but Nic cuts him off, counter for counter and a FameAsser out of the counters for a two count. Nic starts the big brother tactics, bootwashes and arrogance, Slater fires, punches into a Yakuza Kick. Leon wants another Lethal Injection variant, but Nic catches him into a Rear Naked Choke. Slater tries to turn it into a pin so Nic breaks it. Leon wants a Leg Lariat but misses and gets unceremoniously dropped by Nic. Nic puts Leon up on the buckles, Superplex possibly but Slater counters, tries to collect himself for a move, but Nic falls into the ropes to crotch Leon, and finally hits the Superplex.
Twist of Slate from Leon, Swanton 450 but knees get up. Locomotion Cradles from both but they kick out, Ryan picks the ankle to trip up Leon just a touch and then Danger Zone ends the match.
Ryan starts the post match beatdown, but the Hardy’s music hits and they come down to the ring for the save. Matt challenges the Nemeths for Rebellion because they’re not medically cleared yet.
Overall Score: 6.5/10
Decent story motion, no match was offensive, and there was actually some solid match action for television standards. I don’t have a ton to complain about aside from the Knockouts Division is in a weird spot, and giving Hendry a lot of just talking and hollow payoff segments feels stupid. If we need to hear from him every week, give him a talk segment like Highlight Reel or something. Yes I know First Class just got The Penthouse, but if Hendry is going to talk more than wrestle, give him a talk segment for us to sink our teeth into.
There was the announcement that Xia, Lei Ying and Masha will face Tessa, Jacy and a mystery partner. So you gotta wonder if there’s going to be another NXT mercenary, a surprise return or if it’ll just be Rosemary since she’s got her issues with Xia. Also I just realized that Unbreakable is going to be on a Thursday, seemingly after iMPACT? I’m gonna have to see how they do it, because if there’s an Impact episode and 2-3 hour PLE…I do not want to be awake until 1am. People need to work, and I will be Unwakeable if things go that long.
