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!

INVERTED RINGS OF SATURN!!
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.

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!

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.

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

Cody Rhodes talks with Nick Aldis backstage.
They shake hands, but the SmackDown General Manager tells the WWE Champion there’s been a change: Cody’s out of the Six Man Tag match. What? Why would Aldis do that? It is out of Aldis’s hands. Wait, Solo Sikoa shows up to do what he did, but they can’t do the Six Man Tag that they advertised? How is this out of Aldis’s hands? Who do they need to talk to so they can do the match? Aldis says there’s no one either of them can call, if you smell what’s cooking. This is coming from The Final Boss, and The Final Boss wants to see Cody in the ring tonight. What business could The Great One have with The American Nightmare?
Drew McIntyre VS Jimmy Uso!
The Scottish Terminator rubbed it in Big Jim’s face that only one of them is going to Elimination Chamber in Toronto, which Big Jim was able to brush off. But McIntyre harping on how only one Uso is going to WrestleMania was a step too far. These two look to have it out, but is Jimmy just playing into McIntyre’s hands? Or will McIntyre get embarrassed by “the other Uso” this close to that big time match?
Speaking of, Jimmy has a message for Drew as he heads to gorilla. “Everybody know you’re going to Elimination Chamber, right? But Big Jimmy got a question for the Big Easy: Will Drew go onto the Elimination Chamber and win that? Will Drew go onto WrestleMania and win that? Ey, Drew, I think we got an answer for you, Uce. The answer is…” “NO YEET!” Jimmy makes his entrance, the bell rings, and the fans rally behind Jimmy. Jimmy and Drew jaw, and then Drew raises his hands, to say UP YOURS! But Jimmy ROCKS and CHOPS away! Drew puts Jimmy in a corner, Jimmy dodges to CHOP!
Jimmy climbs and he rains down fists! The fans count, Drew dumps Jimmy tot eh apron at 5, but Jimmy GAMANGIRIS! Jimmy goes up, CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Jimmy hurries to CHOP, then he whips. Drew reverses to send Jimmy to the corner. Jimmy BOOTS back, goes up, and leaps, but into a clinch! OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Jimmy flounders to a corner, Drew runs up to SPLASH and OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Jimmy flounders again, the ref has Drew hold on, and Jimmy bails out. Drew storms out to get Jimmy and he whips Jimmy HARD into barrier! The fans boo but Drew looms over Jimmy.
The ring count starts, Drew mockingly calls him “Jey,” then puts Jimmy in the ring. Drew says NO MANIA for Jimmy. Drew stands Jimmy up, ROCKS him, then runs up, only for Jimmy to put him on the apron! Drew blocks a superkick, but not the DRAGON WHIP! Drew drops, Jimmy DIVES! Down goes Drew and the fans fire up! Jimmy grins, goes back to the apron, and then aims. But Drew stops the Penalty Kick to THROW Jimmy down! Drew then has Jimmy in the Reverse Alabama Lift! REVERSE ALABAMA SLAM onto the steel steps! Drew stands on the desk to say “NO YEET!” while SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Drew revels in the heat from New Orleans, then he leaves Jimmy behind. The ref checks Jimmy, he’s able to continue, so a ring count starts. Drew paces while Jimmy stirs. Jimmy drags himself up using the desk, then lunges in at 9! Drew is annoyed but he rains down fists! Drew stomps Jimmy, then eggs him on. Jimmy rises as the fans rally, but Drew is right on him in the corner. Drew winds up, but Jimmy counter punches! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! And whips, only for Drew to reverses. Jimmy goes up, but Drew KICKS him out of the air! Drew then hauls Jimmy up, snap suplex! Cover, TWO!
Drew says okay, Big Jim. He clamps onto Jimmy with a top wristlock and grinds the arm. Jimmy fights up, fireman’s carries, but Drew elbows free. Drew bumps Jimmy off buckles, then hauls him up to the top rope! Drew CLUBS Jimmy on the back, climbs up, then CLUBS Jimmy more. Jimmy fires elbows and Drew drops back.

A car pulls into the parking lot.
And out steps Solo Sikoa. Solo heads inside, and he finds Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga waiting. Solo tells them that last week with Tama, that was an accident. Jacob says yeah, it’s all good, Uce. But keep it 100: If it wasn’t an accident, Solo wouldn’t be standing here right now. Well, good! Glad to see we’re all on the same page. Solo says he will be in the corner during the match for Jacob & Tama. Uh, no, Solo, no disrespect, but Jacob & Tama have been running things on SmackDown these past couple weeks. So tonight, it’s Jacob & Solo running the play? Yadada mean? Yeah, of course. And that right there, Jacob, is exactly why Solo loves him.
Solo says he’ll be back, he has to talk with Nick Aldis. Solo heads out, but will he really just step right back into place from before he lost the ula fala?
Carmelo Hayes is backstage.
R-Truth calls out to Melo, and says for the first time ever, Truth VS Melo! What’s Truth talking about? Duh, they have a match. No, Truth, Melo knows. But they had a match last week. Truth says he has never met Melo in his life, but they have a tag match tonight. What? No, they don’t. Who even made this match? Him. Truth, they are not going through this H1M who’s on first thing again. Melo is H1M. No, him made the match. The Miz!? Miz says he’s H1M. So now there’s two of you? No no no! Melo is H1M, this is The Miz! Yeah, #MeloDon’tMiz! NO! That’s not a thing! Tonight, they are. Who’s Truth’s partner?
Truth says he’s got a guy. A Louisiana legend! In fact, he just got here, so Truth’s gotta go. Laters. Miz says he has been workshopping this, and the fans love it. Think about it: Melo Don’t Miz! Melo Don’t Miz! And we are…! Melo shakes his head. Truth steps in and says Miz just wants Melo to say, “Awesome.” Miz offers a fist bump, Melo says no. Will Melo wish he had missed tonight’s show? Or will Miz actually help H1M get another win?
Zelina Vega speaks.
“My whole life, people have taken one look at me, and they try to define me. My size has never stopped me before. It never stopped me from becoming tag team champion. Or my personal favorite, the history-making first-time-ever Queen of the Ring. That’s me. Make no mistake about it, I’ve never had it easy. I had to scratch and claw to get anything around here. But this is a fresh start. Because I have something to prove. And my dreams are a lot bigger than your measuring stick. It ain’t over until Zelina Vega says it’s over.”
The Miz & Carmelo Hayes VS R-Truth & ???
Miz makes his entrance but Melo kinda steps all over it. So he already missed his cue… But who did Truth find to team with him in the Big Easy? We’ll see, after the break.
SmackDown returns and Truth makes his entrance. “What’s up?” Well, more like who is his partner? He’ll tell us! His tag team partner is a local legend, born and bred right here in New Orleans! Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Louisiana Knight! Wait, he means L A Knight! Yes, Louisiana abbreviated is LA, but that’s not… Oh, Truth… Truth gives Knight a Po’ Boy and some Mardi Gras beads, so Knight embraces it. The teams sort out, and Truth calls out him! Does he mean Miz or Melo? Well, Melo says he is H1M, so that’s who starts. The fans cheer on Knight while Truth and Melo tie up. Melo KNEES low, whips, but Truth reverses.

Winners: The Miz & Carmelo Hayes, by pinfall
Well, what do you know? Nakamura aside, Miz and Melo made it work! Okay, they’re both trying to hog the spotlight, but is there a future for Melo Don’t Miz? Will Knight only have more of a reason to take that title off Nakamura now?
Charlotte Flair speaks.
“The GOAT… doesn’t have to call themselves The GOAT. Now, I have crafted a legacy that no one, I mean no one, can touch. And I’m back.” The Women’s Royal Rumble Winner chose Tiffany Stratton, but will The Queen take back her throne? Or will WWE always be on #TiffyTime? Speaking of…
Tiffany Stratton VS Candice LeRae!
The WWE Women’s Champion may have gotten past Nia Jax, but now she knows Charlotte Flair is waiting for her at WrestleMania, and is going to be teaming with Trish Stratus in Toronto! Will she be in Tiffy Top Shape for that Tiffy Trishy dream match? Or will the Poison Pixie be quite the problem all on her own?
Before the match, Tiff grabs a mic while the fans cheer. Tiffy says, “I know, I know. You know it, you know it, and you know it. Ever since I won this title, everybody’s just been so obsessed with me. And last week, I had Nia Jax beat, until Candice LeRae decided to interfere and help her little meal ticket. And at Elimination Chamber, Trish Stratus and I make sure the Unstoppable Force comes to a definitive end!” The fans cheer that, but Tiff says enough about them. Let’s talk Charlotte Flair. The fans boo that name, but Tiff says Charlotte took her sweet old time, grabbed a chair, grabbed a mic, and she looked down on Tiff.
Charlotte chose Tiff as her WrestleMania opponent. In that moment, Tiff’s dream came true! And as she lied down there and looked up at Charlotte, she realized the rumors are true: No one loves to kick a girl when she’s down quite like Charlotte Flair. So at WrestleMania, Tiff isn’t coming for Charlotte’s legacy; that’s all Charlotte’s. Tiff is coming for the spot Charlotte desires the most: The number one spot as the top girl in the WWE! But here comes Nia & Candice to interrupt. Nia has a mic to tell Tiffy, “I Have to say, this is really cute. Like, it’s really cute that you actually think you were gonna beat me last week.”
Doesn’t Candice think that is cute? Candice says yes, it is so~ cute. And Tiff wouldn’t even be standing there if not for little Trish Stratus~. Exactly! And it’s even cuter that Tiff is out here talking about Charlotte when she wont’ even see WrestleMania! Because after Nia & Candide destroy Tiff at Elimination Chamber, Nia is coming back for her WWE Women’s Championship. Nia & Candice step up to the ring, and Nia says Tiff won’t even see the Grandest Stage of Them All. Tiff tells Nia to just give it up. This title isn’t even hers anymore. And once Tiff beats Candice tonight, Nia won’t have anyone to do her dirty work anymore!
Candice tells Tiffy that while they’re meant have a match right now, she and Nia are feeling impatient. Nia says they should just get rid of Tiff right now! But the ref steps in and says not gonna happen! Tiff VS Candice will, after the break.
SmackDown returns and Candice has Tiffy down with an armlock. Tiff fights up as the fans rally, but Candice wrenches to wristlock. Tiff spins through, goes to ropes, then up the corner to flip and arm-drag! The fans fire up as Tiff rallies on Candice! DROPKICK, and Tiff snarls! Tiff goes to the corner, and Charlotte makes her entrance? The Queen chooses to be fashionably late all so everyone looks at her, including Tiffy. Tiffy handsprings, but Candice dodges! Candice runs up to UPPERCUT, then she snapmares and NECK SNAPPERS! Jackknife bridge, TWO! Candice clamps onto Tiffy with a top wristlock.
The fans “WOO~” as Charlotte now chooses to join commentary. Tiff fights up, has the ROPEBREAK, but Candice CLUBS away on her! Candice backs off, runs up, but Tiff drop toeholds her to ropes! Tiff runs, HIP ATTACKS, and Candice flops back! Cover, TWO! Tiff stays on Candice with a whip, but Candice reverses. Candice CLOBBERS Tiff, covers, TWO! Charlotte corrects Tiffy’s words earlier: Charlotte isn’t the “top girl,” she is THE woman in WWE. Candice HIP DROPS Tiff but the fans rally up. Candice scuffs Tiff, then grinds an arm to drop a knee on the elbow! And another knee drop! Tiff endures and the fans rally up.
Candice keeps on that arm, thrashes it around, but Tiff fights up. Tiff fires body shots, then shoves Candice to Alabama Lift her! Candice sunset flips, Tiff rolls through, TIFFY STOMPS! Cover, TWO! Tiff is frustrated and Candice bails out. Tiff goes to the apron, goes up the corner, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS! Direct hit on Candice and Nia, and Tiff almost stuck the landing! The fans fire up with Tiff and she goes into the ring. Tiff points to the WrestleMania sign, and then at Charlotte, but SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Tiff waits on Candice, Candice slides in, and Tiff stomps her down! Candice bails out, Nia is there to coach her, but Tiff lets the ring count start. Candice gets on the apron, Tiff kicks her, but Candice RAMS Tiff! Candice CLUBS Tiff, has her in the ropes, and hits a NECKBREAKER HOTSHOT! Candice climbs, aims, and leaps to MISSILE DROPKICK Tiff down! Cover, TWO! Candice is frustrated but this is why Tiff’s a champ. The fans rally, but Candice stomps Tiff! Candice scowls at the fans, stalks Tiff, then brings her up. Tiff fires body shots, then she rolls Candice up! TWO, and Candice CLOBBERS Tiff! Cover, TWO, into a ghost pin! TWO!
Candice escapes to hit a CODE BREAKER! Both women are down, but Candice scowls again as she crawls over to Tiff. Candice rains down fists, Nia tells fans to shut up, and Candice steps on Tiff’s face. Candice huffs ‘n’ puffs, pushes Tiff around, then scuffs her. Tiff rolls Candice up again, TWO! Candice DECKS Tiff! Cover, TWO! Charlotte is stoic on commentary as Candice drags Tiff up and puts her in a corner. Candice fires hands, then backs off. Candice runs up to ROCK Tiff again! Candice then runs, but Tiff dodges! SmackDown returns to single picture, and Tiff rallies with LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans fire up, Tiff handsprings, BACK ELBOW!
Tiff then reels Candice in for a SKY HIGH! High stack, TWO! The fans rally for Tiff, Nia coaches Candice, but Charlotte still seems nonplussed. Tiff and Candice rise, and Candice runs up. Candice puts Tiff on the apron, but Tiff ROCKS her! Tiff bumps Candice off buckles, then goes up, but Candice ROCKS her back! Candice climbs up, and she fires hands on Tiff! Tiff fights the suplex! Tiff DECKS Candice, then adjusts position, to SANTON- FLOP! Candice ghost pins, TWO!! Tiff escapes, but Candice hits the step-up SENTON! And then a LIONSAUL FLOP! Tiff hurries to fireman’s carry, ROLLING SENTON! And then PRETTIEST MOON- NO, Nia drags Candice out of the ring!
The fans boo, Nia tells them to shut up, but Tiff is on the apron! Nia swings, Tiff cartwheels over, and then she DROPKICKS Nia! Tiff Alabama Lifts Candice, to ALABAMA SLAM her into barriers! Tiff stares down Charlotte, tells her just wait for Mania, then she puts Candice in the ring. Tiff goes to the corner, PRETTIEST MOONSAULT EVER!! Cover, Tiff wins!
Winner: Tiffany Stratton, by pinfall
Charlotte gives moderate applause, but Nia CLOBBERS Tiff from behind! The fans boo, but Nia just drags Tiff to a corner. Nia goes up, but wait! Trish is here!! The fans fire up for the legend as she rushes into the ring! Trish avoids a haymaker to CHICK KICK! Then THESZ PRESS for Candice! And then a SPINEBUSTER! Trish helps Tiff to her feet, but Nia grabs them both! Trish fires fast hands on Nia! Candice CHOP BLOCKS Trish! Tiff is still dazed, Nia HEADBUTTS her back down! Nia & Candice mug Trish, and then Nia HEADBUTTS Trish! Trish & Tiff are side by side, and Nia drags them into the drop zone! A-NIA-LATOR!!
The fans boo but there’s nothing can be done! Nia grins as she helps Candice away, will these two trash Trish & Tiff in Toronto? Charlotte steps into the ring, stands over Tiff, and points to the WrestleMania sign. Will The Irresistible Force & Poison Pixie unwittingly do the dirty work of The Queen of Flair?
Cody talks with Damian Priest backstage.
Priest asks why Cody’s boy, The Rock, is here tonight. Cody says given the time of year, his guess is as good as anyone’s. But tonight will surely be eventful. Cody congratulates Priest on entering the Elimination Chamber. Priest says what’s wild is, last year, they both walked out as champions. What sucks is that this year, only one of them can. Now, Priest is man enough and he respects Cody to say that after Chamber, he’s coming for that title. Cody says he wouldn’t have it any other way. Cody heads out, but what business does The Rock have tonight?
Braun Strowman steps in, and he tells Priest that congrats on winning, and good luck in the Chamber. But let’s be honest, Braun had Jacob dead to rights last week. If not for Solo Sikoa, things would look a lot different next week. Priest chuckles and says take it easy, he’s sounding like Drew with the excuses. But it is what it is, Priest just beat Braun to the punch. But that was last week. Tonight, Solo and Jacob, two of the baddest men in the business. Priest & Braun handling business? Oh, they’re handling business. The only business Braun cares about is getting his hands on those two. Priest says Braun definitely will.
Braun heads out, will the Monster of All Monsters and the Archer of Infamy make sure Solo & Jacob #GetTheseHands? Or will the rogues run roughshod all over SmackDown once again?
Backstage interview with Naomi & Bianca Belair.
Byron Saxton is with the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions and brings up last week’s SmackDown, the security footage led us to believe Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez were the ones behind Jade Cargill’s attack. Now, hold on, Saxton. They don’t think, Naomi knows they were. Fair enough. But this Monday, they can get their revenge when they defend the tag titles against Liv & Raquel. How ready are they for this match? Bianca says so ready! They have been waiting for months for an update. Jade has been recovering, she hasn’t been able to call or text, so the GlowEST took matters into their own hands to get revenge.
Bianca & Naomi will handle Liv & Raquel, then move on to Elimination Chamber, where one of them is gonna win to face Rhea at WrestleMania. Not only will you #FeelTheGlowEST on Monday, but Liv feels it tonight! #Let’sGLOW! The champs head out, but will they clear their Road to WrestleMania of any other distractions?
Alexa Bliss speaks.
“When I was away, there was a lot of… change that happened in me. But when I look around, I see this place is still the same. The names and faces may be different, but the desperation and insecurity remains the same. You’ll see Toronto when I turn the Elimination Chamber into something of a playground of my own. I know the Chamber. I love the Chamber. I’ve won the Chamber. And for the other five women, it’s gonna be a Hell like they’ve never experienced before. Need I remind you, this is my division, and I am in charge.” Bliss smiles and says, “See you soon.” The film comes off the reel, but will things get twisted in Toronto?
Naomi w/ Bianca Belair VS Liv Morgan w/ Raquel Rodriguez!
The Big Easy is all about having fun, and they’re fired up for Naomi’s entrance. But wait! Liv & Raquel don’t wait, they attack Bianca & Naomi while the lights are still down! They mug Naomi, but Bianca drags Liv out of the ring! Then Bianca storms in to fire off on Raquel! The fans fire up, but Liv returns to CHOP BLOCK Bianca! Raquel hauls Bianca up for a TEJANA BOMB!! Naomi runs up, fires more hands, but Liv brings Naomi around. Naomi fires hands on her, but Raquel throws her down! Liv runs up, OBLIVION!
Liv & Raquel stand tall, the refs rush out here, but clearly the singles match isn’t happening. Will we be getting something even meaner and nastier between these four on Monday?
The Rock arrives!
His truck pulls into the parking lot, but we’ll see him in the ring, after the break!
SmackDown returns and…
Aldis is chewing out Liv & Raquel for the attack. He doesn’t know what they get away with on Raw, but they can’t pull that crap here. Now get the hell out of his building. Liv & Raquel just laugh that off, but then Chelsea Green & Piper Niven walk in. Chelsea says have no fear, Chelsea & Piper are here to sub in for Bianca and Naomi at Elimination Chamber. Aldis sighs, and says they’re not missing the Chamber. What? But Chelsea had an outfit picked out! This is a travesty to not have the greatest Canadian export since maple syrup on a Canadian PLE! Does he know who she is? The first-ever, longest reigning, tallest, shortest, prettiest, richest, tannest, sparkliest, oldest, youngest Women’s US Champion! Piper asks what this is aboot, eh?
Aldis says this is them testing his patience. They need to pack their gear and whatever else they want, because they’ll be in action next week on SmackDown in Toronto. And oh, it’ll be a good one. Wait, they need more details! At least an e-calendar notification? Aldis is leaving Chelsea in the dark on what’s coming, will she absolutely hate it?
The Rock heads to the ring!
Wait, what is this New Orleans related remix? The Final Boss steps out on stage, he shows those goosebumps, then continues down the ramp, shaking hands with fans. The Rock hits his signature pose on the corner, but then takes the long way around to pick up a fan’s phone for them before going back into the ring. The fans all cheer for “ROCKY! ROCKY!” and he grabs himself a mic. He waits as the fans continue to chant his name, and then he says, “Ahh, you feel it, don’t you? You feel it. The Rock has got chills up and down his body because you know, on a Friday night, for the Final Boss to get inside his bird and fly all the way here, you know that I’m dropping some ish on you tonight!”
The fans fire up and The Rock smiles. Rock says, “Let’s get this show on the road.” The fans anticipate what’s coming but he says hold on, he’ll do it. “FINALLY! The Rock has come back…” “TO NEW ORLEANS~!” Rock smiles, and he adds, FINALLY, WrestleMania is coming back to New Orleans!! The fans are thunderous to hear that! WrestleMania 30, WrestleMania 34, and now WrestleMania 42!? Yes, next year, 2026, LIVE from the Superdome! One of the greatest cities on Earth in New Orleans, Louisiana! The pyro goes off to commemorate the occasion, and the logo is already on the tron! Rock smiles at that, then he smiles at the WrestleMania 41 Vegas logo.
The fans are losing their minds, as we now know April 11th and 12th, 2026, the Big Easy has the Grandest Stage of Them All. Rock says you damn right holy ish! Oh when the saints go marching in…! Oh how I’d love… Wait, no, this ain’t singalong with The Final Boss! Sit there, shut up, and let The Final Boss sing the song! The fans are torn, but Rock says he sings! Oh how I’d love, to be in that number~! Oh when the saints go marching in~! Okay, that’s good enough. You got him, that was a great duet. The Rock is singing with the largest collection of STD’d trailer trash he has ever seen! The fans can’t believe Rock would do that to them!
Rock says now, dropping this news wasn’t the only gift he was going to drop on us. The Final Boss came here to call somebody out. The Rock will call out a man who he respects, who he admires, and who we all admire. That man is our WWE Champion, the one and only, Cody Rhodes. The fans cheer as The American Nightmare makes his entrance! They sing along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” and we get Cody’s pyro before he goes to the ring. Cody gets his second “WHOA~ OH~!” and round of pyro, then he steps inside to join The Rock. The fans cheer Cody on, so he holds up the title and the fans cheer even more.
Cody grabs a mic, but Rock says, “That feels good, doesn’t it? I mean, that’s gotta feel amazing, right? They love you, man.” Cody tells NOLA, “I love you, too.” Rock says this is crazy. Pretty much no one knows this, but since after WrestleMania last year, they’ve actually become good friends. No, it’s true, they have. Last time they were together was the Raw Netflix debut. Rock gave Cody his flowers, told Cody he has carried the company like the incredible champion that he is, so thank you, Cody. Rock meant it, and that night, they went to the back, drank tequila for two hours and had a great ol’ time.
They chopped it up, had a blast, but Rock wants to call Cody out here for something important. Here’s the thing… The fans get a bit rowdy as they wait, and Rock says Cody is a great champion. A great WWE Champion. Cody knows that. Again, they’ve become good friends, so over the months, they’ve texted. Even their moms became good friends! Look! Mama Johnson & Mama Rhodes together after WrestleMania 40! It is a pleasure becoming Cody’s friend. But Rock wanted this face to face to tell him a few things. One: Cody has been a great champion, but he needs to understand. Yes, The Rock, The Final Boss, is on the Board of TKO. And TKO owns WWE.
The Rock is the Director of the Board of TKO. Don’t boo that! The Rock’s good friend, Ari Emanuel, who owns everything Endeavor, The Rock joked with Ari, “Can you believe that you own The WWE?” Ari says he doesn’t own the WWE, The Rock does. Rock said no, no, he doesn’t know if he owns the WWE. But The Rock knows he is the most powerful… Cody, you are a great champion. But Rock wants Cody to be something more. Rock wants Cody to be something more than just our champion. Rock wants Cody to be his champion. The fans don’t like where that’s going.
Cody says he did not expect them to become friends, nor their moms to become friends, nor the tequila. Cody didn’t have that on his bingo card. But becoming The Rock’s champion? The Rock of all people should know, Cody is the people’s champion. The fans cheer Cody more, and Rock says yes! Cody is their champion! Of course! The Rock is also The People’s Champion, he loves that about Cody. This is their universe, they were both born into this business. But Rock means something even bigger than just this. Rock knows Cody’s goal is to bring as much joy and happiness to everyone around the world, as many as possible.
The fans cheer, and Rock says that’s Cody. Cody is that guy, and everyone knows it. Cody is on social media, Instagram, millions of followers. Millions, and millions! The Rock has half a BILLION. That’s not a flex. But The Rock is the most followed American man in the world, that’s what he wants for Cody. Rock wants Cody to be even higher. If Cody becomes The Rock’s Champion, he will open doors to possibilities Cody never even imagined. If Cody becomes The Rock’s Champion, every dream he has ever had can come true. Every dream of Brandi’s, of their daughter’s. Think about how Rock brought them to the premiere of Moana 2, in Hawaii.
Thank you, by the way, for making that cross a BILLION dollars, fans, Rock loves you. Rock has met the Rhodes family, they’re amazing. But imagine it: Cody’s daughter’s children, their dreams, long after Rock and Cody are gone, all those dreams can come true. Rock just needs Cody to be his champion. The fans say don’t do it! Rock tells Cody to just think about it, though. Rock is a very lucky man, he has it all. Cody also has it all. They’re very fortunate. They’re Mama’s Boys, they’re Girl Dads, they’re lucky men. Fans say don’t do it, Rock tells them to shut up or he’ll slap the syphilis off their face! Rock is trying to have a moment here, shut your mouths!
The one thing that Rock has never had, that he wants more than anything, is a brother. And that is what Cody can be. Last year, WrestleMania, Rock’s goal was to face his cousin, Roman Reigns, for the title. Cody knows, the fans know. Rock talked with his friend, HHH. He talked with Nick Khan, who is his friend. They are also Cody’s friends. Rock knew it wasn’t in the plans, but they talked about moving Cody aside to make what was best for business: Rock VS Roman, WrestleMania 40! What’d Cody do? Cody pitched a b*tch fit! Cody told The Rock he ain’t doing it, and he stood up to The Rock. And y’know what else? Cody SLAPPED Rock!
No one does that and gets away with it. But that is why Cody is special. That is why Cody should be Rock’s Champion. And that is why Rock will take Cody from where he is to a level so far above. Rock will make sure every dream, every desire, for generations to come, it all comes true. Rock’s dad, Cody’s dad, Soul Man & American Dream, they are looking down right now. They were friends, Cody and Rock are friends, Cody should be Rock’s Champion. He doesn’t need to answer Rock tonight. He can think about it, talk with his wife and daughter, as will The Rock. Then Cody can think about it. Meet Rock in Toronto on March 1st to give him the answer.
Fans still say don’t do it, but Rock says it is okay. Before he leaves, this has been an amazing night, this is a hot crowd, thank you all very much. But before he leaves, Rock wants us to know this: The one thing Rock wants more than anything in this world… is that. Wait, the title? Cody’s title? The fans’ title? This is all this is about? No no no no! Brother… Rock doesn’t want the title. He wants Cody’s soul. The fans duel, “NO! NO! NO!” “SELL YOUR SOUL!” Rock pats Cody on the cheek and says see you in Toronto. The Rock leaves, giving Cody a lot to think about. Rock does give one last glance back at Cody, then smirks.
What will The American Nightmare choose: His integrity? Or his aspirations?
WWE Tag Team Championships: #DIY VS Pretty Deadly!
Did Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano got these titles thanks to Kit Wilson & Elton Prince? #YESBOY! Did they survive a couple title defenses thanks to Kit & Elton? #YESBOY! But when Pretty Deadly needed DIY, was DIY there for them? #NOBOY! So now, Kit & Elton are looking to give Ciampa & Gargano their comeuppance! Will we finally get another #SidePlateCheck? Or will Ciampa & Gargano remember for themselves, that if you wanna be champions, you gotta do it yourself?
But as DIY make their entrance, they have mics, and Johnny Wrestling tells NOLA, “Give it up one time for your TWO-TIME WWE Tag Team Champions…! The BTTITW (Best Tag Team In The World), D I Y~!” The fans boo instead. Ciampa says there is no denying that tonight has been electrifying. Gargano says this is a hot crowd. But please, if we could be somber for a second. Guys, this is serious. Two weeks ago, Pretty Deadly embarrassed DIY, and now reluctantly, DIY will return that favor by crushing their hopes and dreams of ever becoming WWE Tag Team Champions. So please, let us all rise to our feet… Yes, you in the LSU jersey, stand up.
Ciampa thanks Wade Barrett, and asks for everyone to remove their hands and bow their heads for a moment of silence for Pretty Deadly, beginning… now. The fans boo instead! And then Pretty Deadly make their entrance! The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who really needed who in this broken relationship!
But then DIY jumps Pretty Deadly! The ref reprimands, DIY whip but Pretty Deadly reverses! DOUBLE DORPKICKS! Then DOUBLE LARIATS send DIY up and out! The disco ball hasn’t even stopped spinning! The fans cheer while DIY throw a fit! They regroup, cool down, and go back to the ring. Gargano distracts Elton, Ciampa CLOBBERS him, and the bell rings. But Elton fires hands on Ciampa! Elton whips, Ciampa reverses and he pulls hair! The ref reprimands, Ciampa throws Elton to the apron and KNEES him down! Tag to Gargano and he aims, SUPERKICK! Elton goes down in a heap, DIY cheers themselves on, and SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns, Gargano tags in, and DIY hits the BACK SUPLEX BOMBO COMBO! Cover, TWO! Elton stays in this but Gargano tags Ciampa back in. Gargano sends Ciampa in, but Elton ELBOWS him away! Gargano runs in, but Elton puts him on the apron! Gargano goes after Kit, but Kit blocks the kick! Kit BOOTS Gargano down, but then Ciampa BOOTS Kit! Elton dodges Ciampa to come back, DOUBLE CROSSBODIES collide! Elton and Ciampa are down, sputtering and writhing, and the fans rally up. Elton crawls, Kit rises, hot tags to Kit and Gargano! Kit rallies on DIY with big forearms! Kit whips, Gargano reverses, Kit UPPERCUTS!
Kit UPPERCUTS Ciampa in a corner, then LARIATS! Kit runs to LARIAT Gargano! Kit pushes Gargano down, kicks him and hits a TWIST- NO, Gargano slips through to ROCK Kit! Kit yoyos, DOUBLE LARIATS! The fans fire up, Kit tags Elton! They get Gargano up, but Gargano BOOTS Elton! Gargano ELBOWS Kit away, then runs up on Elton! Elton dodges, then gives Kit the boost, DRY MARTI-KNEES! Cover, TWO!! Gargano survives but Ciampa is in! Elton fireman’s carries Ciampa, but Ciampa slips free! Ciampa whips, Elton reverses, Kit UPPERCUTS Ciampa! Elton shows off his strength with the GOTCH LIFT PLEX!
Tag to Kit, but IN COME THE PROFITS! Ford SHOVES Kit down, Dawkins mugs him!!
Winners: Pretty Deadly, by disqualification; DIY retain the titles
Not again! Just like they did Motor City Machine Guns, The Profits make sure no one else takes these titles off DIY! URENAGE from Ford to Elton! Dawkins keeps hammering away on Kit, and then Ford POSTS Elton! Dawkins fireman’s carries Kit, to POST him, too! Looking like the All Mighty with that one! Gargano fires forearms in return, but ends up int he POUNCE GERMAN SUPLEX! Then Ciampa runs up into a FLAPJACK! Ford goes up top, then flies in FROM THE HEAVENS!! Direct hit on Ciampa! But wait! MCMG rushes out here, wanting their payback! The Profits brawl with MCMG, but Ford TOSSES Shelley to the apron!
Ford runs up, Shelley goes to kick, but Ford blocks it! Ford LARIATS Shelley down, Dawkins hits Sabin with THE BIG ENDING! The fans are torn as Dawkins whips Sabin, Profits get him for the REVELATION!! And if there’s been any revelation, it is that Ford & Dawkins don’t just want the smoke, they want to burn down the tag division to get it! Will nothing stop them once they’re back in action?
Kevin Owens speaks.
“You got what you wanted, huh? You got your match. You couldn’t, uh… You couldn’t just take the punishment that you deserved, that I’d already given you, and let it go. No, you… You wanted me and you to go again. You wanted to fight me, you want to hurt me, you want to end my career, which would hurt my family, by the way. Which is truly despicable. But what about your family, Sami? Huh? Have you thought of them? What about your family, huh?” Kevin reveals he is right outside the Zayn home! Kevin peers inside to watch Sami, his wife, and his son!
Kevin asks Sami via the video if Sami knows what he’s about to put them through, when they have to watch Kevin end Sami’s career. And what happens then, eh? When Sami can’t provide for them, and everything they have, like this nice house, the shelter, the security, the peace they have, when it’s all gone? And why? What for? Because Sami’s too proud? Because Sami’s selfish? Sami IS selfish. Because Sami is making Kevin do this to Sami’s family. Kevin will never forgive Sami for that. He’ll see Sami in Toronto. “But remember… You asked for this. It’s all your fault.” As if Kevin’s delusions aren’t already grand, will he continue to blame everyone else but himself?
Damian Priest & Braun Strowman VS Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu w/ Tama Tonga!
Elimination Chamber is on the horizon, and the Road to WrestleMania makes for strange bedfellows. Priest, Braun and Jacob were fighting each other just last week, but Solo’s return really threw things for a loop. Can Priest & Braun give Solo and the Samoan Werewolf their punishment? Or will everything (not) be fine in Solo’s Bloodline?
SmackDown returns as #OneBigSOB makes his entrance. As Solo, Jacob & Tama head to gorilla, we hear from Solo. “Tonight, we handle business. And it starts with Braun Strowman & Damian-” Jacob interrupts with, “Man, c’mon, DP! C’mon, Braun! I thought we did this! So tonight, we about to even up the score. If you ain’t know, I’m all gas, no brakes with it! See, since we touched the scene, we been dropping bodies like bread crumbs! Yadada mean!? FA-TUUU~! Hit my music!” The rogues enter to Jacob’s theme, is this alone proof he’s the new alpha? Or will the match be the last nail in that coffin?
The teams sort out, but Jacob stares down both Priest and Braun. NOLA seems to acknowledge Jacob, but Solo convinces him to stand down. Solo starts against Priest, the bell rings, and the two tie up. They go around, Priest powers Solo back, but Solo powers Priest back. They break, stare down, and Solo talks some trash. Solo shoves Priest, Priest shoves back. They circle again, tie up, and Priest puts Solo in a corner. The ref counts, Priest lets off at 4, but Solo stomps Priest’s foot! Solo throws hands, then a HEADBUTT! Priest staggers, but then he ROCKS Solo! And ROCKS him! And HEADBUTTS! That was a mistake!
Solo shakes his head to HEADBUTT Priest! Priest goes to a corner, Solo throws haymakers and body shots on repeat! The ref counts, Solo lets off and says see? Solo and Jacob as one! But Priest THROWS Solo to the corner to fire off haymakers of his own! Priest ROCKS Solo, the fans fire up, and Priest whips., Solo reverses to UPPERCUT! Solo talks smack but Priest ROCKS him again! Tag to Braun and the fans fire up! Braun stares Jacob down, tells him to shove it, then runs up to SPLASH Solo! Braun stares Jacob down again, goes back for Solo, and hits another LARIAT! Braun scoops, Solo slips free, but Braun runs up!
Solo ELBOWS Braun away, tags to Jacob, and Jacob runs in, but Braun dodges! Braun CROSSBODIES! Jacob is right up, but Braun BOOTS him right back down! Solo runs in but Braun TOSSES him! Priest hurries after Solo, Braun CLOBBERS Jacob! LEAPING LARIAT for Solo! Braun then gets on the track, STROWMAN EXPRESS SMACKS a chair out of Tama’s hand! The Good Bad Guy thought he was being sneaky! But then Jacob CROSSBODIES Braun into the timekeeper’s aera! The fans go wild as Jacob rises up, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Jacob hauls Braun up, drags him around the way, HEADBUTTS him, then brings him over to SMACK off the desk! Braun staggers, but he ROCKS Jacob in return! And THROWS Jacob into steel steps! Braun drags Jacob up, puts him in the ring, but Jacob SUPERKICKS Braun! Braun falls into the corner, Jacob HIP ATTACKS! Jacob’s all geeked up, then he tags in Solo. Solo soaks up some heat while Jacob HIP ATTACKS Braun again! Solo puts Braun on ropes to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Solo stops at 4, but Jacob gets a HEADBUTT in! Braun flounders, Solo taunts him and eggs him on, but Braun CHOPS him!
Solo HEADBUTTS Braun right down! Solo rains down fists, then lets off so he can put Braun on the ropes. Solo CHOKES Braun again, stops as the ref counts 4, and Jacob gets another cheap shot in! Solo tags Jacob in, then he HEADBUTTS Braun again and again! Jacob runs to BODY CHECK Braun! Jacob fires up, Braun flounders to ropes, but Jacob rains down fists! Tag to Solo, he soaks up heat from NOLA, then he stomps away on Braun! The ref counts, Solo lets off, then he keeps Braun from Priest by anchoring a leg. Tag to Jacob and Jacob climbs up, FROG SPLASH! Jacob roars while Braun writhes!
Jacob looms over Braun but he glares at Priest. Priest gets heated, but Jacob fires hands on Braun as SmackDown returns to single picture. Braun stands, but Jacob HEADBUTTS him again! Jacob runs for another BODY CHECK! And then a SENTON! Cover, TWO! Braun stays in this and he goes to a corner. Jacob snarls, tags Solo in, and the fans boo. Solo runs corner to corner to HIP ATTACK Braun! Solo grins as he copies Jacob’s geeking out. Tag back to Jacob and fans cheer! Jacob aims, runs, and HIP ATTACKS! Jacob keeps going, but Braun BOOTS from below!! The fans fire up while both men stagger to their feet.
Braun SPINEBUSTERS Jacob! Both monsters are down, the fans rally up, and they crawl, hot tags to Solo and Priest! Priest fires hands on Solo, then whips. Solo reverses but Priest SHOUDLER TACKLES Solo! Priest runs to BACK ELBOW! Jacob is back, but Priest dodges to WHEEL KICK! Priest then waits on Solo, but Solo catches Priest! Priest elbows free, but Solo SUPERKICKS! But Priest JUMPING ROUNDHOUSES! Solo comes back, Priest ROCKS him first! Solo swings, but into the FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! Solo survives but Priest puts him in a corner. Priest whips corner to corner, then runs, only for Solo to put him on th eapron!
Solo takes as swing, Priest dodges and ROUNDHOUSES! Priest then knuckle locks with Solo, goes up top, and he tightrope walks for some OLD SCHOOL! The fans fire up and Priest powers up the arm! Priest runs, but Solo ducks the Comebacker! Priest fights the fireman’s carry to BELL CLAP, ROUNDHOUSE, and then he reels Solo in! But Tama is on the apron! Priest DECKS Tama, but Jacob HOTSHOTS Priest! Solo hits the URENAGE! Cover, TWO!! Priest survives and Solo is stunned! Solo snarls, looks to his taped-up thumb, then he drags Priest up. The fans boo but Solo taunts the fans now. SAMOAN- NO! Priest grabs Solo!
But Jacob runs in! Priest ROCKS Jacob, ELBOWS Solo, then he dodges, so Jacob’s SUPERKICK hits Solo! An accident just like last week’s shot to Tama, but Jacob doesn’t seem as upset by it. Priest TOSSES Jacob, then CLOBBERS Solo! STROWMAN EXPRESS CLOBBERS Jacob & Tama!! Priest brings down the straps, the fans are thunderous, and Priest grabs Solo by the neck! SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! Cover, Priest & Braun win!
Winners: Damian Priest & Braun Strowman, by pinfall
Just as Solo thought it’d be like before, he and Jacob were not on the same page! Priest is rolling towards Elimination Chamber, will this be just what he needs to go back to WrestleMania?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown here, but with some interesting moves after the sudden change in plans with The Rock showing up. Naomi and Bianca had a good promo to hype up what was meant to be a full match of Naomi VS Liv, but word had already come out before the show that things were being cut for time. But at the very least, they did the right thing of making it a brawl that adds heat to the tag title match on Monday. Also, hilarious how Chelsea & Piper thought the beatdown on Bianca & Naomi was so bad that they would need to be pulled from the Chamber. I also can’t wait to see what happens on Toronto SmackDown.
As for The Rock, I do appreciate he used his authority to kayfabe change more things, all so he could have his promo with Cody. I also appreciate Rock blending his different roles and even different sides, both Heel and Face, to A) bring the news of WM42 being in NOLA, and B) recreate the Corporate Champion/People’s Champion story from the Attitude Era. That was some wild stuff he was saying to Cody. I’m sure quite a few people will try and talk with Cody next week in the go-home. Heels will say do it because they’d love to have what Rock can give, Faces will say not because Cody’s better than that. But naturally, Cody is not going to become The Rock’s Champion, causing Rock to turn on him and really up things going into WrestleMania 41 and perhaps even beyond.
Good stuff in the Elimination Chamber related stories. Jimmy VS McIntyre was great stuff to open, and how fitting that McIntyre loses to Jimmy after talking all that trash about Jimmy and Jey being the same. Jey got McIntyre with something quick, Jimmy got McIntyre with something quick, McIntyre’s ego is obviously his weakness. And at the same time, McIntyre of course destroys Jimmy after because that’s his other personality trait. Priest had good promos with Cody and Braun, and we got great stuff from Solo’s Bloodline. Naturally, we got a miscommunication spot to help finish, we’re really close to Solo VS Jacob, I can feel it. Priest & Braun get the win, mostly because Priest isn’t winning in the Chamber when you’ve got Punk and Cena in there.
Very good stuff with Tiffy Time, from the promos leading into the match to Charlotte being ringside just to watch. Nia & Candice of course get the better of Tiff & Trish, because Tiff & Trish are definitely winning the tag match in Toronto. Charlotte just seems to enjoy trolling Tiff with her presence, so Charlotte probably shows up in Toronto to then confront Tiff after the match. I expect the seven weeks after Elimination Chamber to really heat up, as will Charlotte’s involvement, where she’ll get more active verbally and physically. Also, hell, Rock should go full Corporation and have Charlotte be his Corporate Women’s Champion because of how established she is.
Hilarious stuff from Truth tonight, as always. Truth and Melo having their “who’s on first” again was good stuff, and of course Miz gets in on this story, too. Truth & Knight VS “Melo Don’t Miz” was really fun, but yeah, should’ve figured Nakamura would get involved, too. Melo & Miz making it work could also be really fun, and while Knight VS Nakamura is a rehash, I really hope they find a way to up things. It feels like we’re getting the same with the tag titles as Profits “ruined” that great tag match from DIY and Pretty Deadly, then brawled with MCMG to still come out on top. Last year had a ladder tag title match, so why not do one for these titles this year?
Speaking of escalating, Kevin filming a promo outside Sami’s house was some really well done stuff, as expected of someone as good as Kevin and in such a story as him and Sami. Their match should main event, it needs time to breathe, as it could be just as, if not more violent, than the Chamber matches. What a powerful closing moment we could have if it’s a bloody Kevin and Sami, and one of them is standing over the other, triumphant yet mournful because it was their best friend in the world that they just brutalized.
My Score: 8.9/10

Andrew’s TNA LIVE! iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.20.2025
So the first live episode got fairly positive praise from everyone; will this continue the trend?
Filming at Full Sail seems to have set the stage nicely this week! Going into a Live episode we got Moose and The Hardy Boyz on NXT, as well as Jordynne Grace’s involvement with Steph and Giulia giving a little shine to TNA happenings since she’s newly WWE.
This episode should be interesting, we finally see Lei Ying Lee (fka Xia Li) back in action, Rascalz take on Tyson and Tyriek, Tessa should be seeing some action as well…so generally interesting happenings for the second Live iMPACT! of 2025. Let’s see how this one goes down!
No matter where @ManceWarner and @stephdelander go, @TheSamiCallihan WILL FIND THEM!

Results:
Oh yeah, and another Hendry concert is…cut off by a commercial, LOLTNA. First Hendry is cut off by AXSTV’s new Anime Hour bumper, and now Primo and Epico are showing up in TNA. I definitely didn’t have this on my BINGO card. The crowd starts chanting “Where’s Carlito”, which they do acknowledge and play off of well. Oh they’re using their shoot names of Orlando and Eddie now…but before they attack the lights go out and we get another guitar strum! ELIAH/ELIAS/EZEKIEL/EBENERZER/EMERY/EL VAGABUNDO – shows up to back up Hendry. Okay I can apologize away the redundant concert since it played into an Elijah debut. The crowd is immediately popping and chanting “This is Awesome” 10 minutes into the show.
Tyson & Tyriek w/Wes Lee vs The Rascalz w/Ace Austin
Treehouse bros take it to the bigger men quickly, a few fast dives, a little MCMG style tandem strikes, Tyson fires and tries to take them out but they Low Bridge him. Tyriek comes in and they try similar things but Tyriek manhandles them both and throws them out of the ring, Trey is the first one back up and Tyriek and Tyson take his damn head off with his Corkscrew Running Euro Upper. Trey finally manages to flip out of the manhandle, tags in Wentz and Wentz goes for the hot and spicy cleaning house spot. Corner to Corner Knee Lifts for both big men, a Rolling Snapmare, into a Superkick for Tyson and Standing Shoot Star on Tyriek but only for two because Wes feints like he’s going to interfere.
Tyson and Tyriek pull off a tandem Assisted Backdrop Driver, but Wentz breaks it up, Tyson gets knocked out, Wentz hits the Tornillo, Wes tries to interfere again after Trey gets perched on the corner buckle but Ace runs around and trips Wes at the last second causing him to faceplant on the apron, Trey hits the Meteora, Wentz hits a Swanton from the other side of the ring and Trey gets the pinfall victory.
It was fast paced, all gas no brakes, but it didn’t overstay its welcome, so it was pretty fun all things considered.
After the match Wes grabs a mic, complains a little but challenges them to a 6 man match as Sacrifice. So we’re THAT’S where we’re getting the expected 3v3.
Fir$t Cla$$ comes out with an entourage of hot chicks and probably influencers or something. The “First Class Penthouse” , Gabby AF, Mafiosa Valentina, and Carolina are apparently known in their own way. Gabby I know was the awful one who did something for Impact a last year and sucked, but she’s part of the Busted Open Network I believe so that’s why she’s around. Two of them look like Noelle Foley and Frank the Clown…oh they actually are. Look at that. I do love KC Navarro as the Hype Man, they have this whole set up of AJ being mad that they haven’t gotten more Tag Title shots, so TNA placated him with his own Piper’s Pit and he’s *pregnant pause* totally happy with that. He says he loved Piper and hated Hogan before it was cool.
This is actually quality content and AJ is cutting a nice promo in this segment. They introduce their first guest, the greatest performer in TNA history, many whole say he’s Phenomenal with a whole lot of style….it’s A-J-Francis.
.@AJFrancis410 is GOING OFF!

Lei Ying Lee vs Rosemary
Things were slow until Rosemary took her into a corner quickly, hit the Upside Down, and we get a lot of Lei trying to avoid Rosemary’s offense. Rosemary goes for a Spear in the corner and Lei forward rolls, starts connecting with a bunch of right hands, backs Rosemary into the corner, goes for 10 Count Punches, pulls her out, Airplane Spin TKO for only a two count. Rosemary tries As Above So Below, Lei shrugs it off, Rosemary tries to go after Lei anyway and eats Thunderstruck! Lei Ying Lee wins!
After the match Rosemary catches Lei on the ramp and hits the Green mist in the eyes. Match was far too short and so many of Lei’s set up moves look better than her finish. We’ve seen Kofi Kingston do it for years so it’s not bad, just the current Knockouts Division are awful and don’t take the move well.
Eric Young and the jabronis come out, EY cuts a very basic power crazed psycho kind of promo, gets the “What” chants from the crowds. EY is trying to recruit Maclin even though Maclin made his line in the sand last week. EY tries to spin it as maybe he took out Josh FOR Maclin instead of in spite of his trust. This really doesn’t seem interesting at all, but that’s probably because I hate the two Jabronis EY is with.
NoDQ Match: Leon Slater vs JDC
I really don’t have any interest in Slater. He’s got no personality beyond “flippy guy with a British accent”.
Dango immediately powders, grabs a chair and goes to swing on him but misses. So Leon is making JDC look dumb by dodging the post chop, using the chair to shield himself from a punch by JDC, and then clapping Dango’s fingers between the chair. So typical System match, look inept for the first few minutes, then take advantage of something to take over. Oh look, Leon takes too long setting up the table, Dango gets in a few pot shots, tries to whip him into the table but Leon leaps over it, and then leaps back over to clobber Dango. Dango is still trying to recover so Leon hits his over the corner post con hilo, and the crowd appreciates it but I’m not interested. Leon panders to the crowd after the big spot and then eats an X-Plex into the chair from Dango.
JDC throws Leon back in, goes for a pinfall that’s only a two and we cut to a commercial. Coming out of the commercial JDC is in control with a Kendo Stick until he isn’t, Leon counters and takes the keno stick, brutalizes Dango a few times then comes off the ropes with the kendo shot for 2. Leon goes for another table, and again, at least the crowd is receptive to this match. Leon sets it up, looks for something off the apron but Dango stops him first until he eats a dropkick to fall onto the table, Leon hits the Swanton 450 through the table on the outside. Does it look cool? Sure. Do I care about dumbass moves? Nope.
Oh thankfully the rest of The System comes out to stop the pinfall, Shield Bomb Leon through the first table, and roll him back in for Dango to win.
The Hardy Boyz come out to try and make the save, but the numbers are against them, so Oba Femi’s music hits! Oba cleans house but doesn’t get his hands on Moose, so they’re at least building the eventual clash between Moose and Oba.
The crowd starts a “Tessa, we comin for you” chant before she even starts talking. Tessa is actually playing off the crowd well, Santino’s music hits and Tessa thinks he’ll help her out with the crowd and Santino calls bullshit basically. Santino says if Tessa doesn’t wrestle next week, she’s fired and Masha’s music hits. Masha decides to step in for Tessa’s enhancement talent match.
Masha Slamovich vs Mila Moore
Jobber tries to attack Masha early but Masha stops her, rocks her and Requiem ends the match.
Masha stares down Tessa, and then Cora Jade attacks from behind and hits Jaded.
Ryan Nemeth comes out to his Abyss music remix. What will Mokuba say today? “MYYYY BIIIGG BBRROOOOTTHHHEEEEER” he repeats at least 4 times and it’s hilariously cringe. He announces that Nic will return at Sacrifice, he literally just came out to give a PSA.
Elijah & Joe Hendry vs The Colons
Hendry starts with Eddie, after a brief tie up it seems like Hendry reads the room and points at Elijah and the crowd wants him in. So Joe tags in Elijah, a little back and forth, Shoulder Tackle from Elijah, Rope Walk with Elijah lays out Eddie and a tag to Joe allows for a quick tandem knockdown, but Eddie powders as the Walking and Talking Duo hold the ring going into the final commercial break.
We come back and Hendry is bouncing Orlando off the ropes as he return a strike, but Orlando is obviously losing, eats a Euro Upper, and then gets walked around in the Stalling Suplex for posterity. Eddie tries a sneak attack but gets caught and Sack of Shit, into Kip Up, turn and then Orlando with the ambush! A few quick short cuts and an Irish Whip/Dropkick combo gives the Colons a near fall. Hendry does get locomotion variation cradles, but eats a Dropkick to stop the attempt at momentum. Orlando stays on Joe, but Joe finally starts to fire up as the crowd starts to get behind him. Euro Uppers make some space, but a Snapmare says no.
Eddie gets tagged in and a quick Leg Sweep into a Front Chancery keeps Eddie in control. As Joe tries to get back up, Eddie turns it into a Guillotine, but finally the Suplex counter connects for Hendry! Simultaneous tags! Elijah bulls over Orlando, catches a Leap Frogging Orlando with the Manhattan Drop as Orlando retreats to a corner, Stinger Splash into Spinebuster for two. Elijah tries to keep up the attacks but Orlando finds a few ways to make space, launches himself from the middle rope and eats the Jumping Knee! Eddie breaks up the pinfall, Hendry takes Eddie out and Elijah hits the Tombstone Piledriver for the win!
Overall Score: 6/10
Well there were more live hiccups than the first episode, and this felt both more epic and less epic at the same time. Elijah and the Colons debuting was a nice way to kick things off, Oba Femi showing up for the save was fantastic. There were a few decent matches, but also a lot of really short and rushed matches. Tessa played off the crowd well, but Masha really is useless on the mic. Lei Ying Lee needs to framed stronger, her matches have done nothing to show off her ability. It just proves that the Knockouts don’t know how to sell a kick to the head because they all take it in the shoulder and fall in corny ways.
Viva La Sam could be something fun if the next 3 weeks are just hand cam footage of him being like “I’m Sami Callihan and I’m gonna kick Mance Warner’s ass”, Elegance Clique getting the rematch with a stipulation is nice to see and while I like Fir$t Cla$$, that segment went a little long for a cornball swerve payoff. It’s one thing to placate the Influencer squad especially when we’ve seen Logan Paul and Ishowspeed do so well in WWE…but these are like Z Tier Influencers that no one cares about. These kind of dorks stream on Kick because they aren’t relevant enough for Twitch, not because they chose Kick over it.
So yeah, the low lights were pretty low, and the highs were a little fleeting, but at least they were pretty fun. Not a bad show, just clunky with noticeable issues and Masha shouldn’t be allowed to speak English anymore. She’s such a charisma vacuum when she’s not rambling in Russian.
