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!

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!
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!

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
Bianca Belair is here!
Knoxville fires up for their strongEST, fastEST, quickEST, toughEST, roughEST, and greatEST hometown hero as she struts out to the ring. Bianca high-fives and hugs fans along the ramp, as well as mom and dad at ringside. Bianca then grabs a mic to say, “Man, it feels good to be in Knoxville!” The fans cheer and chant for “EST! EST!” Bianca says she loves them so much. And she couldn’t come out here without singing Rocky Top! Y’all ready? The fans cheer, and the music plays! Bianca conducts the fans as they sing for the University of Tennessee. In fact, the Lady Vols softball team is playing in the Super Regionals right now!
Bianca smiles and says this city is so special to her. Not just because it is her hometown, but because it is her safe space. She has her love and support from mom ‘n’ dad, and has all the fans who show up and show out for her. With everything Bianca’s been going through, losing at Mania, getting injured, losing tag titles and friends along the way, she just wanted to come back home to her safe space. The fans cheer, and Bianca says she came home to heal. While she’s not 100%, she is doing everything she can to get back to the ring and continue to show us why she is the EST of Tennessee and of WWE! The fans cheer that!
Bianca says with all that said, Knoxville, welcome to Friday Night SmackDown! But wait, she’s interrupted by Naomi! The fans boo but Naomi says, “Oh my gosh~! Finally! B, I am so glad you finally here on SmackDown!” Bianca says now is not the time, Naomi. Naomi asks Bianca to please hear her out. It has been way too long. Not a day has gone by when Naomi doesn’t think about what happened to them. What is there to talk about? What could Naomi say? What could she want from Bianca? The fans chant “YOU SUCK!” at Naomi, and Naomi says she just wants forgiveness. She is begging for it!
Naomi knows things go toff the rails, but she is here because she wants to fix it, she is trying to fix it, but she alone can’t fix it. Months have gone by, and Naomi has tried to communicate, to say the past can be the past and that they can move forward. Bianca has not responded back to Naomi once. Naomi even visited Bianca’s parent’s house! But no one would answer! WHAT?! Mom ‘n’ Dad don’t know about that, but Naomi says no one was home, so she let herself in! Naomi looked through the photo albums, the one right on the front coffee table. And in those photos, Bianca looked so happy. It reminded Naomi of how they were as tag team champions.
Bianca stops Naomi there. Naomi, Bianca will make this perfectly clear. They were best friends, but Naomi betrayed Bianca’s trust. Naomi took their friend, Jade, and threw her onto a car, then lied about it for months! Bianca said she was done with Naomi, she meant that, and if Naomi ever comes near her family again, what Naomi did to Jade will be nothing compared to what Bianca does to Naomi. The fans fire up for that! Naomi gets emotional, but then she gets mad. “Y’know, Bianca, it wouldn’t be good for you and your mama to be in a wheelchair.” The fans boo as Naomi laughs maniacally. Naomi says she’d hate if something happened to Bianca here and now!
Naomi storms up on Bianca, but then JADE makes her way out here! Naomi is even angrier now, but this Storm starts throwing hands! The fans fire up as Jade BOOTS Naomi down! Bianca and Jade look to each other, neither really saying or doing anything. Naomi runs up but Jade TOSSES her out! Jade and Bianca look to each other again, but then here comes NIA! The Irresistible Force won’t be left out of this, especially when this is the Women’s Triple Threat Qualifier for the night! This match now opens the night, who earns SmackDown’s final golden ticket to the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match?
Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match Qualifier Triple Threat: Jade Cargill VS Naomi VS Nia Jax!

Winner: Naomi, by pinfall (advances to Money in the Bank)
Nia did a lot of the damage, but it is Naomi who wins out! Will everyone in the Women’s MITB Ladder Match now have to #ProceedWithCaution?
Solo Sikoa’s crew arrives.
Solo says they will win Money in the Bank together! Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa, whichever one wins MITB wins it fof the family! But then they hear R-Truth talking to… Lil’ Jimmy? Solo says Truth’s childhood hero beats him, and now he’s talking to ghosts. Truth taps Solo on the shoulder and asks if there’s something Solo wants to say. Solo says Truth is crazy touching him. JC Mateo steps up but Solo has him stand down. Truth says he wants to be honest. He’s never seen JC a day before in his life. Is this Solo’s son? He’s husky! Truth asks if he can teach Solo’s husky son a lesson in the ring. Solo says that sounds good to him.
Truth says he’ll go talk to Nick Aldis. “Boy, y’all big boneded!” Truth heads off, and Solo says don’t worry, they’ll take care of him. Let’s have fun. Fatu says keep it 100. They can have their fun, he’s got his own business to take care of. Yadada mean? The Imperial Unit against Truth, Samoan Werewolf in a qualifier, will everything go the family’s way?
Chelsea Green confronts Nick Aldis.
The Hot Mess hides behind a cardboard cutout of herself as she tells the SmackDown General Manager, “What happened on Saturday night was a deliberate-” Piper Niven has to direct Chelsea to point at Aldis, and Aldis says he can’t quite understand her from behind the cardboard mask. Piper holds the mask between Chelsea and camera, though we do get a glimpse of her fancy headgear. Chelsea repeats herself, but Aldis says she needs to be looking at him when they talk. Chelsea hides her face in shame, but she says it is still a deliberate hitjob put on by vicious Zelina Vega! Even her Secret Her-vice could not stop it!
Chelsea demands that Zelina be suspended, stripped of her title, and that Chelsea be reinstated as the champion! Chelsea, no need to be so ugly about this. Gasp! Aldis says what he means is, no suspensions, and we can talk a rematch down the road once Chelsea is medically cleared. Then he is doing nothing for what Zelina did to Chelsea?! Alba says if he won’t, then they will! Yeah, Zelina VS Alba! Tonight! Alba is a bit surprised, but Aldis says, “Chelsea knows best. Alba VS Zelina, I actually like the sound of that. I will make that official right now, if you do one thing for me. Please leave me alone.”
The Green Administration hurries away, but will Alba make sure Chelsea brand justice is served? Or will La Muneca just keep racking up the wins?
Backstage interview with Tiffany Stratton.
Byron Saxton is with the WWE Women’s Champion, and says that MITB is around the corner. Tiff successfully cashed in her own contract to become champion, but how is she handling the pressure of knowing the same thing could happen to her? Tiff says she can’t wait to see who wins MITB. Then she can handle the pressure by being prepared. Having this title makes her the top threat to the division, but let’s be fair. She’s always been the girl everyone has been obsessed with. So whoever wins, targeting her will be a big mistake. But then in steps Naomi.
Naomi says if Tiff thought Nia was a problem, then she ain’t seen nothing yet. Naomi vows to win MITB and cash in for Tiff’s title, wherever and whenever she wants. And in case Lil’ Miss Tiffy forgot, when Naomi was fighting for a championship, Tiff stayed in Naomi’s way. Wanna know what happens when people play with Naomi? Just ask Jade. Naomi heads out, and Alexa Bliss steps in. Alexa says she wouldn’t be so worried about Naomi. Be worried about Alexa. Alexa heads out now, Tiff clutches to the title a little bit tighter, who will be trying to run the clock out on Tiffy Time?
R-Truth VS JC Mateo w/ Solo Sikoa!
To Solo’s point, #RonCena could not make John Cena see the light at Saturday Night’s Main Event, and Truth might be relapsing if he’s talking to Lil’ Jimmy again. But will Truth relapse so far that we get the R-Truth that was once United States Champion? Or will a Tour of the Islands send Truth off the deep end?
SmackDown returns and JC makes his entrance, Solo backing him up. The bell rings and Truth runs up, only for JC to RAM him into a corner! JC RAMS Truth again and again, then lets off. JC whips corner to corner hard and Truth falls in a heap! JC whips corner to corner again just as hard, and Truth falls in a heap again. Solo talks trash but the fans rally behind Truth. JC runs up but Truth dodges! Truth SHOULDER TACKLES! JC stays up, so Truth runs and SHOULDER TACKLES! “What’s Up?” Truth runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, and SHOULDER TACKLES! Then he hits the SPIN OUT- CROSSBODY! JC then gets up to GACHIMUCHI MOONSAULT!
JC smirks as he looms over Truth, and Solo says to finish this off now. JC runs to SENTON but Truth moves! Truth calls for it! “YOU CAN’T SEE ME!” FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! Truth fireman’s carries JC, but JC is too much! Truth falls over again! Solo laughs, JC whips, TOUR OF THE ISLANDS!! Cover, JC wins!
Winner: JC Mateo, by pinfall
Truth tried to be like John Cena of old, but it just wasn’t meant to be. JC beats up on Truth more, then stands him up for Solo! But here comes BIG Jim! Jimmy has a chair, he runs JC off, but Solo stands his ground. Solo says his brother wouldn’t hit him with that chair, would he? Jimmy steps to Solo so Solo steps out, but that lets JC CLOBBER Jimmy! But then Solo has JC stand down! They’re family! Solo and JC leave, leaving Jimmy wondering what this is about. Will Jimmy make it clear to Solo that Jimmy’s not the one who has to come to his senses?
The Street Profits are here!
The WWE Tag Team Champions walk through the smoke to be on stage and the fans cheer. Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford hold up the titles, walk to the ring, then step inside. The fans cheer as they hold up the belts again, then the Profits grab the mics. Ford says, “Knoxville, Tennessee, oh I love everything about you, and what I have, too. But lemme rap to y’all real fast. This tag team division that we’re a part of, the greatest tag team division on any brand, any promotion… It’s on fire right now.” Dawkins says, “Talk to ’em.” Ford says, “But just like how the gorilla fears us, make no mistake about it, let’s not forget who’s leading the charge right now: The Street Profits.”
The fans cheer, and Dawkins says hey, they got all the teams coming at ’em! DIY, Motor City Machine Guns, Fraxiom, and now… The Wyatts?! The fans cheer that, and Ford says that’s sick. But what big bro is saying, it don’t matter who it is, the Profits will defend against anybody. Well hold on, here comes Fraxiom! Nathan Frazer & Axiom go to the ring to stand with the Profits, and they have mics. Frazer says alright, since the Profits are talking about defending the titles, well, Frazer & Axiom didn’t exactly get a fair shake. Ford says, “Fraxiom, is it?” He congratulates them for being on a roll, but up until the Wyatt Sick6 got in the Profits’ business…
Yeah, the Profits had them beat. Wow, oh, okay. Sure, maybe… But maybe not. Thanks to the Wyatts, we’ll never know. And now that those shenanigans are behind us, it is fair to say that Fraxiom and the Profits need to run it back! The fans like the sound of that! But wait, here come the Machine Guns! Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin have mics, and Shelley says okay, hold on, sorry to interrupt. Fraxiom’s entire basis for a rematch is that the Profits never beat them. Well, last time Shelley checked, the Profits never beat MCMG! So if they’re handing out title matches, MCMG will take one. But naturally, here comes DIY!
Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, and Candice LeRae have their own mics, and the Poison Pixie says no no no no. She is pretty sure “you losers” have had a million chances, and “the nerds” just got here. Whoa, hold on? Just got here? Sounds like Candice just got back, so she should do us a favor and shut up. Gargano says you shut up, idiot! The reason DIY brought in Gargano’s beautiful wife is to even the odds against all of what this is! Everyone can see there is a conspiracy in the tag team division to hold down the BTTITW! And now with the Wyatts showing up- Ciampa has Gargano ixnay on the amily-fay.
Do not talk about you know who, scratch that, let’s get to business. All these teams have all KILLED the tag division that DIY built! Matter of fact, let us hold a moment of silence for the death of the SmackDown Tag Division. Everyone, stand up, bow your heads, and give a moment of silence… now. OH NO! The lights go out! All the teams panic, because when the lights turn on, UNCLE HOWDY is on the corner! Howdy laughs, because the rest of the Wyatts flank the ring! Erick Rowan drags MCMG out to DOUBLE LARIAT! Dexter Lumis is up top to CANNONBALL onto the Profits and Gargano! Joe Gacy is in, and he handsprings to bring Fraxiom to the UPSIDE-DOWN!!
Lumis then runs, POWERBOMB SENTON COMBO on Axiom! Ciampa freaks out, turns around, and Nikki Cross is there! CROSSBODY onto Candice! The fans fire up, and Howdy has Frazer for SISTER ABIGAIL! “We’re here!!” It is just as the Profits said, and now it is clear. Will some killer combination of the Wyatts go right after the gold?
Rey Fenix & Je’Von Evans VS Los Garza w/ Santos Escobar!
Worlds Collide is just over a week away, and all four of these men will be involved. The Immortal Firebird and the Young OG are going after the NXT North American Championship in a Fatal 4 Way while Legado Del Fantasma will be taking on AAA’s Pagano, Psycho Clown y El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. Who will be heading for Los Angeles with all the momentum behind them?

The Miz pep talks Carmelo Hayes.
Melo looks good, and he just has to follow the plan. If Melo follows that plan, with no mistakes, they will win. Melo says he knows what he’s doing. Miz asks if he really does. Because Miz has taken Black Mass after Black Mass, sacrificing himself for Melo. Does Melo understand? Miz gave up this chance at MITB for Melo! Miz has already done it twice! If Melo wins this match tonight, Miz will guide Melo to make sure “we are Mr. MITB.” Wait, we? Miz says, “Who do you think got you in this position?” Melo says Melo did. Melo appreciates everything Miz has done for him, from sacrificing to taking hits for him, and helping him win the Andre the Giant Battle Royal.
But nobody told Miz to do that. Melo will run the play exactly as Miz designed it, but what brought Melo to the dance is Melo’s talent. Melo goes out there and does it better than anybody else. Melo puts up 40 points on a bad day, because he is H1M. And Miz just needs to let Melo be H1M. They good? Miz nods, and Melo says okay, let’s do the thing. They are Melo Don’t Miz and they are Awes-H1M. Miz still nods, but he doesn’t seem genuinely happy. Will Miz let Melo be Melo? Even if that means letting H1M fail?
Giulia speaks.
“Throughout my entire career, even back when I started in Japan, I had one goal… It’s not to be ‘the best.’ Everyone says that. It’s hollow and empty. My goal is to be indisputable. You can love me or hate me, admiration or disgust, it means nothing. But I’m impossible to deny. My opponent doesn’t matter, because I only view them as an opportunity to build my legacy. Evidence you cannot refute. SmackDown, you will see. I will hit harder, move faster, think sharper, and conquer everything, just like I’ve always done. The question isn’t, ‘Who’s going to let me?” It’s, ‘Who’s going to stop me?'” She adds in Japanese, “If you can stop it, stop it.”
Will SmackDown and all of the WWE soon succumb to The Beautiful Madness?
Zelina returns backstage.
She refreshes for a second, but Giulia is there! And Giulia says she sees Zelina, but she also sees that title more. Zelina scoffs and leaves. Could Giulia be aiming for everything once she becomes Ms. Money in the Bank?
Damian Priest is here!
Knoxville cheers as The Archer of Infamy heads to the ring, victorious from Saturday Night’s Main Event and that brutal Steel Cage match. Priest grabs a mic to tell Tennessee, “Ever since I beat Drew on Saturday, it’s like I’m breathing in fresh air. Y’know, there was a time when I lived on the street, if we were beefing with another street, that war could go for years. But in WWE, you have a beef with somebody, you have a match and it’s over. But with Drew and I, we went well over a year, and that’s not normal. But we took that beef into a cage. Now, I can feel it, you can se it on my face, we went to war.
“At the end of this war, at Saturday Night’s Main Event, I gave him a Con-Chair-To, I walked out the door, and I put his ass in the past.” The fans cheer that. Priest says now he knows Drew is somewhere recovering from his scrambled brains, but he knows Drew is watching, so this is for Drew. “I still can’t stand yo ass. But the Drew McIntyre that stepped in that cage wasn’t the guy that hides behind his phone on social media. That was the old Drew, the warrior, and I appreciate that.” The fans applaud, and Priest says he won’t ask what is next for himself, he’ll just tell us all. And it is the same thing he wanted when he came to SmackDown: Championships!
The fans cheer, and Priest says this war with Drew cost him an opportunity at being in MITB. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his eyes on a certain champion. Somebody who he has unfinished business with, and a champion he considers the most badass. The fans know that means Fatu, and he knows they know! Priest calls out Jacob Fatu! Priest respects Fatu. Priest knows where Fatu came from, what Fatu had to live through, how it feels to stand in this ring as a champion. Real talk, Priest is proud of Fatu, he congratulates Fatu, that’s real. But what Priest doesn’t respect is the crew that follows him around.
Wait, check that. What Priest doesn’t respect is the crew Fatu follows around. Priest knows at some point, they will get in this ring, handle business, but that’s for them. As for Fatu’s so-called family, if they wanna get involved, they can catch a fresh one, too. Priest won’t make it just a nickname or moniker, he wants this to be fact! Priest is and forever will be EL CAMPEON! The fans cheer that! But will the Archer soon take aim at the Samoan Werewolf? Well, speaking of, Fatu makes his way out here for tonight’s other Triple Threat Qualifier! Fatu nods to Priest, but if Fatu wins his way into the ladder match, will this showdown have to wait a little longer?
Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match Qualifier Triple Threat: Carmelo Hayes VS Andrade VS Jacob Fatu!
SmackDown returns and El Idolo makes his entrance, followed by H1M. The bell rings and Miz distracts Fatu and Melo attacks! Fatu ELBOWS Melo away, Andrade is on Melo with forearms, and then Fatu adds a LARIAT! Fatu looms mover Melo but then turns to stare down Andrade. The fans rally as these two step up. Andrade fires forearms but Fatu SHOVES him to a corner. Fatu runs up, Andrade dodges then whips. Fatu reverses, Andrade goes up and out to then ROCK Fatu! Andrade goes up, up, and CROSSBODIES! Cover, ONE! Melo CLUBS Andrade, TOSSES him out, and then CLUBS away on Fatu!
Miz says that’s the way! Melo HAMMERS and CHOPS, then whips, but Fatu blocks! Fatu whips Melo, Melo springboards, but into an UPPERCUT! The fans fire up and Fatu sees Melo go outside. Fatu builds speed, but Miz trips him up! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Fatu drags Miz into the ring! Melo goes to roll Fatu up but Fatu stays up!

Solo just screwed things up for Fatu! Solo does his best to keep the peace between Fatu and JC, but the point is: Andrade is headed to Los Angeles! Will he make this El Idolo in the Bank?
Backstage interview with LA Knight.
Byron Saxton segues from congratulating Andrade for qualifying to welcoming in someone who already has qualified, but The Mega Star says, “My gawd. What is it with punching tickets around here? Everybody talks about punching tickets. WWE Instagram, punched tickets. Commentary, punched tickets. You’re talking about punched tickets. I guess I punched my ticket to MITB, it’s only eight days away. A few other guys who punched tickets, who are they? You got Andrade, you got Penta, you got what’s his name, Seth Rollins. You got Solo Sikoa! They’re all in it! They all punched their tickets!
“And everybody’s gonna be climbing that ladder, trying to get up, put everything on the line that they can. Now, if this was a one-on-one match, I’d go ahead and call my shot, and I’d say I’m gonna run up there, grab the case, and cash it in. But you gotta understand, this is my third year in a row, so I understand what this is. You can call me the vet in this match. Some people say maybe that Seth is the vet in this, but they would be wrong. For three years in a row now, you’re talking about the most robust and the most recent experience, YEAH. And what that means is now it’s anybody’s game. Anybody can come out with it, and I understand that.
“But with or without the case, what you need to understand is that the WWE title, the world title, they’re all in my future. With the way I’ve been running, at this point, they should be in my past, maybe even my present. Why don’tcha go ahead and punch that ticket? While we’re talking about-” Knight stops himself when he spots someone walking in. It’s Aleister Black! And Aleister says that win was supposed to be his. But he tells Knight, “You’re welcome, though.” The Dark Father lets the Mega Star shine, if only for now. Will LA win big in LA when we finally reach MITB?
Fatu and Solo regroup backstage.
Solo wants Fatu to listen. He was just trying to help. Fatu tells Solo to listen. For the last time, Fatu does not need his help! Fatu storms off, JC steps in, but Solo has nothing else to say. Is the Samoan Werewolf going to break away from this dysfunctional “family?”
Cody Rhodes is here!
Knoxville fires up and sings along, “WHOA~ OH~!” Cody gets his pyro, high-fives fans along the ramp and the front row, and even signs autographs. Cody goes to the ring, grabs a mic, and he hears the fans chant his name. Cody fires the fans up more, then hears them sing, “Cody! Cody Rhooodes~! Cody! Cody Rhooodes~!” Cody says, “So, Knoxville! Whaddya wanna talk about?” The fans cheer, and Cody says, “I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out that we could talk about the record crowd here this evening!” The fans cheer that, too! Cody says he loves them, too, thank you very much.
Cody says they could also talk about WrestleMania 41. The fans boo, but Cody says after WrestleMania 41, he went home, he drowned his sorrows, might’ve touched the “Tennessee Cough Syrup” a little bit, and he had a moment of doubt. He reached out to a friend. A friend who helps him prepare to wonderful audiences like this one here, or speaking to everyone at home. Cody asked him, “Was I a good champion?” The fans cheer for that, but Cody says the friend told him wasn’t quite as simple as yes or no.
The friend told him, “With everything that you faced here in the ring in front of all the fans, and with everything that you faced behind the scenes, being pulled in different directions, the waters that you had to navigate that no champion has ever had to navigate, yes, I feel that you were a good champion.” Cody says he felt good hearing that, it turned into a hopeful moment, the silver lining on a dark cloud. Cody looked back on his whole year. He thought about AJ Styles faking retirement to get the drop on him. Cody thought about his friend, Kevin Owens, sucker punching him against his bus while Cody’s family slept inside.
Cody thought about his boss, Triple H, who pushed Cody to the limit, and sees something in Cody that Cody doesn’t even see in himself. Cody even thought about The Final Boss, how he asked Cody for his soul, and the entire world wondering what that meant. As preposterous as that sounded, The Rock was 100% serious. No matter how many times Cody said no, the offer still stands. And Cody also thought about John Cena. The fans initially boo, but the “Let’s Go, Cena!” “CENA SUCKS!” starts up. Cody takes a moment, and then he says, “I thought about John Cena doing exactly what he said he was going to do. He forced me to make a choice, and I hesitated.
“I don’t know if John Cena is going to ‘ruin’ professional wrestling. But if he does, then I’m partially to blame. Now, I know, I’d love to say this to John Cena’s face. Not sure if he’s going to come out here right now, but if you are listening, if you are listening, Champ, I need you to know that I will never hesitate with you again!” The fans cheer that, and Cody says no matter how much Cena will tout the amount of days he has left, how much Cena will talk about what remains before he absconds with the WWE Championship and leaves all of us forever, that is NOT Cena’s expiration date! That is on the other side of Cody’s corneas, and it will burn Cena’s ass up!
The fans fire up for that, and Cody calms it down. Cody apologizes for that. This is his first night back on SmackDown, he is getting worked up. He thought so much about what he could do, what he could do for the fans. Hell, how about a surprise? The fans already “YEET! YEET! YEET!” so Cody says they’re hungry for it. Let’s yeet. Well, hold on, that’d be a very big surprise. That’d be the biggest surprise. That’d be Cody’s partner riding into battle for MITB, and hell YES he is here! Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the World Heavyweight Champion, MAIN EVENT JEY USO! The fans go wild as Jey makes his way in from the pavilion!
The fans sing along with Day One Ish and bounce for that YEET! Jey makes his way down through the crowd to ringside, one verse at a time, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Jey joins Cody in the ring now, mic in hand. Cody and Jey hear the fans want an encore, so we get even more YEET! But then John Cena makes his entrance to ruin the fun! The fans sing “JOHN CENA SUUUCKS~!” even though he wears that University of Tennessee orange and white. Cena goes to the ring, towel draped over his head, then grabs a mic before he joins Cody and Jey in the ring. Cena hears the fans boo, and he says, “I’m upset, too. If it isn’t professional wrestling’s biggest wannabes!” Cena tells Cody he is nothing more than a Cena Wannabe, and that Jey is nothing more than a Cena Wannabe.
The fans boo but Cena says they both wanna be Cena so bad, it makes him sick! Cody wants Cena’s fame, Jey wants Cena’s money, but they will get neither because Cody is too desperate and Jey is too lazy! There is only ONE other human being in the WWE who embodies hustle, loyalty and respect, and he’s got the fortune, fame and followers to back that up! Surprise, losers! Cena’s partner is here, too! The fans boo already, because “EY YO~!” Logan Paul IS here! The Maverick swaggers his way out, and Cena gives him a proper introduction. “Oh, you mad? You’re mad because Logan Paul does WWE better than any professional wrestler?”
Cena says Logan doesn’t need to pay his dues, because he is paying Jey’s mortgage! Everybody in this building did NOT come to see Jey! They came to see John Cena and Logan Paul! Logan asks, “What the hell you crying about, Knoxville? Look! I could walk on water, and y’all would still find a way to tell me it’s because I can’t swim! John Cena speaks the language of Logan Paul, and that is the truth! The truth! It is right in front of you! You deny it all you want, but look around, you stupid, stupid, simple Tennessee people! This is a moment in history! All of you get to witness the moment that John Cena stood side-by-side in the ring with Logan Paul.
“And look, all of you will live long, pathetic, miserable lives. But at least you will get to say that you saw that.” The fans tell Logan to STFU, and Cena tells Logan to ignore it. Logan says yeah, yeah, they’re so ungrateful. They don’t know what’s good for them. There is one problem, though. This does seem too perfect. The problem is… Logan should be standing next to THE WWE Champion as THE World Heavyweight Champion! Logan should’ve been the one to leave Saturday Night’s Main Event with that title around his waist. But look at him, Jey. Jey got lucky. Jey got lucky! He knows it, Logan knows, it, the fans know it, CODY knows it!
Jey needed Cody to save him! When Cody interfered with the match cuz these two cheaters can’t do a single thing in this business without it being handed to them! “These two nepo babies were born on third, thinking they hit a triple.” Logan points to himself and says, “Self-made man!” He points to Cena and says, “Self-made man!” Five years ago, nobody every would’ve believed Logan Paul would be a WWE superstar. And they certainly never ever would’ve believed that he’d be teaming with the Greatest Of All Time! But look at Logan now. He’s not just a superstar, he is THE superstar! His time is now! Cena told us that his time is almost up!
Cena is the Last Real Champion, Logan is the inevitable face of the WWE! So Jey, Cody, at MITB, if you want some, come get some. Jey tells Logan they don’t gotta wait! They can handle this right now! UH UH, YEET!! The mics drop, Cena and Logan talk this out, and Logan wants to throw hands while Cena wants to leave. Cody asks what they’re arguing about. They gonna go to the back so Logan can polish Cena’s Peacemaker? Now it’s a fight! The fans fire up as the hands are flying! Logan TOSSES Jey, Cena picks Cody up! Cody slips free, Jey is back to SUPERKICK! Cody hits the DISASTER KICK! Cena bails out, Jey PLANCHAS out onto him!
Logan goes to the apron, slingshot and- NO, Cody dodges the “Snapshot” Lariat and Jey SUPERKICKS Logan! Then Jey sets Logan up for the CODE D!! The fans fire up as Cody picks up the WWE Championship! Will Cody and Jey make it through Logan and Cena to then clear a path for the American Nightmare’s redemption? Or will Cena & Logan ruin wrestling together?
My Thoughts:
A very good SmackDown, but maybe with some wheel-spinning. As fun as Chelsea Green continues to be, can’t we move on from her and Zelina? Or are we about to do that with tonight’s win over Alba and then Giulia confronting her? Ironically, that seems to give away Giulia isn’t winning MITB. Giulia had a good promo video right before but they undercut it by giving us that confrontation. That said, Giulia deserves to be all the champions, but I suppose starting with the Women’s US Championship would be a good route. Very good promo from Bianca and Naomi to not just have Bianca’s homecoming, but to keep the feud between them alive.
The Women’s Triple Threat had a slow start but it turned out to be a very good match. Great win for Naomi, and good promo from her, Tiffany and Alexa to tease potential MITB winners. Great stuff in the tag match to build Worlds Collide just a touch. We only got one moment of Berto being passive aggressive towards Santos, and then Ethan Page screwing the Faces over, but that was still enough for the North American Championship. Of course, it depends on how many fans watch not just Raw and SmackDown but also NXT so that the fans already understand the story. But as someone who does, I do appreciate they’re bringing NXT story onto SmackDown.
Good promo from Priest to give some shoot respect to Drew and Fatu, but Priest wanting after the US title kinda gave away what was happening with the Men’s Triple Threat. It was a great Triple Threat, but of course Solo & JC cost Fatu. That team is just one moment away from breaking up, and it might be at MITB when Solo just expects Fatu to help him win the briefcase and Fatu refuses. And Fatu VS Priest will still be awesome whenever it happens. Good promo from Knight, and a good bit from Aleister with him, which I suppose means that’s the next feud for them. Was kinda hoping for Aleister VS Nakamura but that really depends if Nakamura is sticking with WWE or going home to Japan via Pro-Wrestling NOAH as rumored.
R-Truth relapsing to talking to Lil’ Jimmy is certainly a choice. I kinda wish he’d keep up the “Ron Cena” stuff, or they’d let Jeff Cobb do his own John Cena bit from NJPW, but I guess some things in WWE still won’t change. And closing with a big promo segment was also certainly a choice. Cody still did a good job, and nice surprise to have Jey show up. Not sure they needed to take a commercial break for Jey’s entrance, especially when they were obviously going to let Jey do his YEET encore. And Cena really must be brainwashed to put Logan over as if Logan’s on par with peak Cena. But naturally a brawl happened and the Faces stood tall.
Don’t count this as go-home math yet, they could easily revisit this on Raw and even next week on SmackDown. Even then, I still feel like Jey and Cody should win at MITB to properly set up Cody VS Cena 2 at SummerSlam. Raw on June 9th is still the move for the World Heavyweight Championship, but there’s also Saturday Night’s Main Event in July, who knows if Jey makes it to SummerSlam as champion.
My Score: 8.7/10

Ratings:
- The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System: Rascalz win via Meteora – ***
- Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali: Ali wins via…No Shit – Squash Garbage
- ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee: Lei wins via Spinning TKO – ** 3/4
- Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber: Mance wins via Hit the Pay Winda – Squash

- International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona: Maclin retains via KIA – ***
Results:
The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System
Octagon got jumped by The System earlier so Laredo is fighting alone. Another backstage jumping is getting a little dumb.
Laredo and Trey start. Typical Indie start with Simultaneous awful Dropkick spot and bad counters, AJ blind tag runs the smaller guys over, tags out to KC and the Rascalz instantly get the moment. KC is rocked, tags in Laredo and Laredo takes out the System before Lish gets on the apron and grabs Laredo. The referee kicks out Lish and Rehwoldt on commentary points out it’s a No DQ match so that’s dumb.
KC gets tossed at AJ, he catches him, Rascalz Dive and do their taunt as we go to commercial. We come back, Tennessee Whiskey into a KC tag in for the near fall on Laredo. Corner combo, Snapmare into Flip Forward Neck Breaker, KC is on a roll. AJ tags Laredo and starts talking crap to KC, they swerve and go Finger Poke of Doom, but it’s not a legal pin. Suddenly tornado attacks, System and Rascalz go for broke, AJ hits the Senton to break the eventual pin, Laredo counters AJ’s Chokeslam attempt. Trey clears out The System, Wentz sends himself and KC over and out, Laredo with a Corkscrew Moonsault, which looked cool but it’s the pile of morons waiting to get hit spot.
AJ hits the Down Payment on Laredo, but Trey blind tagged AJ. Meteora on AJ, Trey pins Laredo and Rascalz win.
Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali
Raj looks like shit in the gear he came down in…and he wrestles equivalently. I would rather anyone else comeback…give me Anarquia.
Ali murders Raj, Instant Dropkick, Rolling Neckbreaker, Corkscrew Standing Moonsault, it’s not close. Raj tries to counter things but Ali Bellclap, a little Duck the left, connect the right. Raj even does a terrible looking Punch Combo, he’s in bad shape, a bad looking Ushigoroshi, Raj with a sloppy looking something, 450 ends it.
Fire Raj as quickly as you brought him back. You don’t need a comedically pathetic job guy when the roster is like 4 guys getting pushed and everyone else sucks. Stop being stupid. Ali still hates women too.
This Injury Report is the dumbest segment in the history of wrestling. Stop treating fake shit as “serious business”.
ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee
ASH mocks karate stuff, Lei throws a few Rising Crane kicks as ASH bails and then things slow down a little. But a Pump Kick, Sliding Kick and Low Dropkick cause ASH to cower and claim her tooth broke. It’s a bait to pull Lei into the turnbuckles and them get in a few stomps. Ash keeps Lei in the corner, Suplexes her ankles into the buckles and then Ash throws a few Booty Shots/Hit Attacks then starts a grounded stretch, Lei Headscissors her down, still sells the hips and ankles, but dodges and fires, combination strikes into the 10 Count Down Strikes. T-bone Suplex, into the pinfall, for only two.
Cheapshot into Running Meteora from ASH for two. Ash goes for the Miz Yes Kicks and Lei No Sells and asks for more. Gorgeous Capture Suplex into Thunder Struck and TKO with flair. My baby has a better finish now! Yay!
Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber
Hannifan cursing and being pissed at Trick for not even showing but is more entertaining than a squash match. Not that Mance’s offense is bad, but 2 out of 3 job matches is stupid.
.@milanmiracle and @AriannaGraceWWE make history as the first father/daughter tag team in TNA!

Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa
Marella tries to tie up with Robbie, but he bails and tags out to Victoria so Arianna comes in and aside from Alicia Fox’s silliness, the tie up was decent with Arianna and Victoria. Tessa interferes and the Referee throws her out. Victoria comes back in and aside from a slight miscommunication with how Arianna does her punches, Alicia Fox is making her look…pretty good. Transition moves, okay brawling and Arianna looks amazing in her outfit.
Rob and Santino distract the referee and Victoria hits a Figure Four into her Northern Lights Suplex, only for 2. Arianna finally Back Body Drop to find the tag, Santino and Rob, Santino does his split dodge into the Standing Headbutt, Arianna Cross Body onto Victoria. Rob pulls out the ref, then shoves the ref into Santino, Santino into the steps and Arianna attack but Alicia and Lish, the fix is in, Arianna eats the pin.
International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona
A few quick brawl moves, Shoulder Tackles, Strikes, Back Breakers, Cardona does get dumped out and eats a SCUD. Maclin bounces Cardona’s face off the apron and hits an Elbow off the apron to keep Cardona reeling, but a dodged tackle sends Maclin into the steps. Cardona tries to Piledriver Maclin on the ramp, but Back Drop counter, into commercial.
Formulaic commercial etiquette of Cardona still in control, throws Maclin into the ropes, Diving Shoulder Tackle lays both dudes out and they get up by 8. Fighting Spirit spot, Cardona hits ropes and gets hit by Maclin twice, Thesz Press, Ground and Pound, Back Elbow and Olympic Slam has Maclin rolling. Splash into Lariat for two. Maclin has been all gas no brakes. Cardona tries to take a few shortcuts that turns into a Straight Jacket Takedown. Cardona to the top, Maclin cuts him off, Superplex spot. 1-2-kick out!
Maclin goes topside for a Jar Headbutt, Cardona hits the ropes so Maclin crashes into the corner, 2 Reboots connect, the third gets caught, counter into Busaiku Knee, Jar Headbutt. In and out, Cardona uses the middle rope for the Low Blow, Killswitch from Cardona but Maclin kicks out. Cardona dodges and shoves Maclin towards the ref, he puts the brakes on, Radio Silence! 1-2-Kick out! Maclin catches a top rope move, Power Bomb, Corner Splash, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs, KIA and Maclin retains!
Overall Score: 4.5/10
Boring paint by numbers show, no Trick, System has one move, Robert Stone is a scumbag, too long to introduce new girls, lots of throw away segments and Rosemary sets up YET ANOTHER Monster’s Ball match. These aren’t interesting when there’s one every 3 months. So we can have terrible Monster’s Ball matches quarterly, Barbed Wire Massacre and Clockwork Orange House of Fun…BUT NO LOCKDOWN!?
Go home TNA, you’re drunk.
