PLAY BY PLAY
ROH shares footage from last week’s Death Before Dishonor Press Conference.
It was last Saturday when Tony Khan announced the card for the PPV this Friday. For the ROH Pure Championship, it’ll be Katsuyori Shibata VS Daniel Garcia! Garcia says he respects Shibata but doesn’t understand why Shibata doesn’t reciprocate. Shibata says he doesn’t like Garcia’s dance. Garcia says the dance was pretty effective in that tag match they had before Forbidden Door. Garcia won’t let Shibata step into his house and disrespect him again. But is Garcia’s sports… enner-tay-ner mindset going to hold him back against The Wrestler?
Pure Rules Match: Daniel Garcia VS Jason Geiger!
Speaking of, the Dragonslayer is about to show us just how ready he is for this title match! Will Garcia be dancing all over Geiger to then stampede into Trenton, New Jersey?
For this match-up, our judges are Christopher Daniels, Jerry Lynn, and (though he has a match later tonight) Matt Taven. The Code of Honor is not upheld as Garcia kicks the hand away. The bell rings, we’re on the clock, and the two tie up. They end up going into a corner, along ropes, but they keep moving for a bit. Garcia keeps Geiger on the ropes but the ref lets it be a neutral break, and Garcia pats Geiger on the head. Fans boo as Garcia taunts Geiger and the two reset. They tie up again, Garcia pulls hair and headlocks. Geiger powers up and out but Garcia runs him over! And then he puts up his dukes, but tells the fans they’re not worthy of his dance!
Fans boo but things speed up. Geiger hurdles but Garcia shoves to arm-drag! Geiger gets up but into another arm-drag! And a headlock takeover! Geiger headscissors, Garcia gets up and pops free, to do his dance! Fans cheer but Geiger gets away. The two reset, tie up, and Garcia knees low! Garcia CHOPS Geiger down, then stalks him while fans “WOO~!” Garcia whips, Geiger reverses and hip tosses! Geiger ELBOWS Garcia down, then drags him up to feint the kick, and mocks the dance! Fans cheer as Geiger adds some swiveling, and then tells Garcia up his! Garcia storms up but Geiger gets around to body scissor!
Geiger wraps on a chinlock, then goes to an ARMBAR! Garcia goes to the ROPEBREAK! That’s his first of three, and Geiger wrenches Garcia’s arm.

Winner: Daniel Garcia, by submission
The #1 contender wins in under ten minutes, and he sarcastically shakes Geiger’s hand before literally kicking him out of the ring. But wait! Shibata is here! Fans fire up as the Pure Champion storms down to the ring to get in Garcia’s face. Shibata holds up the title now, but will he be leaving Trenton with it?
Trish Adora w/ The Infantry VS Utami Hayashishita!
The Kingdom may have pulled a fast one on them, but the Infantry isn’t going to call it quits because of that. Will the Afro-Punk get back on track? Or will she underestimate Big Daddy’s Third Daughter?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings and fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, Utami gets to a waistlock but Adora wrenches out to a wristlock.

Fans rally behind Castle already as the Code of Honor is upheld. The bell rings, the two circle, and the two feel things out. Shane tests the waters with fists but Castle bails out. Castle has The Boys fan him off, Shane paces around, and Castle brings up those were closed fists. Castle then hops back into the ring, and he gets around to a waistlock.

That was literally a BIG win for Castle, and now he’s 24 hours away from a title match! Castle vows to be a TV Champion the fans can be proud of, but will he be able to dethrone Samoa Joe?
Pure Rules Match: Josh Woods w/ The Varsity Athletes VS James Stone!
The Technical Beast wants to prove he’s worthy of the Pure Championship, and for that, he is competing in a Pure Rules Match. Will Woods break Stone to prove he’s worthy of gold?

ROH shares footage from last week.
Lexi Nair interviewed Tony Khan and the NEW Queen of Harts, Willow Nightingale! And from Lexi’s understanding, Tony Khan has an announcement. Yes, because coming off that great match to win the Women’s Owen Hart Cup, Tony would like to announce that based on that and her win over ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, in the previous round, and given their history with one of the best matches in ROH TV’s recent history, the rubber match will be Friday on PPV, Death Before Dishonor! The ROH Women’s World Championship will see Athena VS Willow! Lexi says Willow could become champion, how is she feeling?
Willow says she’s feeling a lot of things! Still on a high from winning the Owen, and she’s faced Athena twice already. The first time, Willow learned what it was to really be in there with someone as mean yet talented as Athena. But Willow isn’t afraid of Athena anymore, because she just got a win over her. And she has learned what it is to win championships. So this Friday, Athena, Willow is bringing the working boots, the big smile, the big hair and the big fight! See you there!
Backstage interview with Jerry Lynn, Stokely Hathaway and Athena.
This was from just before the show went on the air, and the Fallen Goddess is furious to learn who her challenger is! Lexi wants a word but Athena tells her to shut up! Athena is NOT taking that match on Friday. She has carried this title, she has carried this show, they all owe her! Stokely owes her for The Baddies, and she’s known “Papa Jerry” since she was 19! She is NOT doing this match! Stokely says that he is ROH’s Judge Joe Brown, so he has decided that she IS doing the match. Air gavel. Jerry steps in and says that like Judge Judy would say, they’re having a kerfuffle. He also says Athena’s doing the match!
Athena says she is going over both their heads, she is going to get Tony Khan to veto this garbage! They say good luck with that, and Tony steps in! He tells Athena himself that he is very excited for this match, and says Athena and Willow have a great rivalry, they had one of the best matches ever on just the second episode of ROH’s return. This is what fans want to see! It’s happening, Athena VS Willow for the title. Athena throws a fit, but it’s unanimous. Will she just have to take out her frustrations in the ring?
ROH Women’s World Championship Proving Ground Match: Athena VS Nikita!
Speaking of which, the Fallen Goddess has to keep her focus because she could end up owing another title match down the line. Will she keep cool and finish this fast? Or will she be caught slipping this close to her rematch with Willow?
Wow, Athena cares so little about this match that she didn’t even get in ring gear. The Code of Honor is upheld reluctantly, and the bell rings. Athena doesn’t even rush in like she usually does. Nikita wants Athena to bring it but Athena would rather be doing anything else. Fans rally, Nikita eggs Athena on then storms up to her. Nikita pie faces Athena, and again, and again! The ref has Nikita back off, and Athena snarls. Nikita talks trash, but Athena DECKS her! Cover, Athena wins!
Winner: Athena, by pinfall (denies Nikita a title opportunity)
Nikita just learned a lesson about poking the bear and playing with fire. But Athena is going to give her a little extra! Athena fires off hammer fists! Fans boo and the ref reprimands but Athena TOSSES Nikita, KICKS her in the side, then HAMMERS away on her! Athena drags and TOSSES Nikita, to then DROPKICK her down! Athena stomps away on Nikita and kicks her out of the ring! Fans boo more but Athena goes out after Nikita. Fans want tables but Athena sends Nikita into railing! And she tells the ref to back off! Athena even shouts at commentary! Athena storms back into the ring, fetches her belt, and clutches it tightly. But then WILLOW appears!
Fans cheer as Willow, wearing the Queen of Harts belt, goes right to the ring! Willow stares Athena down as she raises her belt. Athena raises hers in response, and then fires up like she wants to fight right now! Fans want it, but then Athena bails out. Will Athena still hold onto her gold? Or will Willow become the babe with two belts?
The Righteous w/ Stu Grayson VS “The Boys,” Brandon & Brent Tate!
Dutch & Vincent have been in a one-upmanship game with The Dark Order over who can be more vicious and violent. Will Castle’s Boys suffer for the Dark Order not stepping to The Righteous? Or will Brandon & Brent shock the world by being even wilder than them?
The Code of Honor is upheld, and then Dutch CLOBBERS both Boys! The bell rings and Vincent snaps fingers as he swaggers around. Vinnie brings Brandon up but Brandon kicks low and runs, only for Vinnie to ELBOW him down! Vinnie snaps and Dutch stands Brandon up. Brandon boots Vinnie and elbows Dutch, but Vinnie runs to forearm smash! Vinnie then shoves Brandon into buckles, reels him in, and hits a SIDE EFFECT! Tag to Dutch and he drags Brandon up. Dutch feeds Brandon to a KNEE, then INVERTED SUPLEXES! Vinnie adds the BASEMENT COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, Brent breaks it!
Dutch drags Brandon up, Stu says they still have this. Dutch short arm LARIATS Brandon, then storms around. Brandon dodges but Dutch reels him in to back suplex! Brandon lands on his feet, dodges and hot tags Brent! Brent dodges Dutch, ROCKS Vinnie, ELBOWS Dutch then BOOTS him! Brent goes up, leaps, but Dutch catches him! And pops him around, only for Brent to slip free and ENZIGURI! Fans rally as Brent DROPKICKS, but Dutch stays up. Brent runs but into a BODY CHECK! Dutch drags Brent up, suplexes, and hits GHOSTBUSTER! Tag to Vinnie and he drags Brent up, AUTUMN SUNSHINE! Cover, The Righteous win!
Winners: The Righteous, by pinfall
Vicious and dominant, and Vinnie wants The Dark Order to pay attention. This is what they wanted, and this is what they’re missing! So tomorrow at Death Before Dishonor, The Righteous want to open The Dark Order’s eyes to a whole new world. Please listen to what he’s trying to remind them of! Wait, the Dark Order has heard what Vinnie’s saying, and Evil Uno steps out on stage! Just like last week, Uno has a chair, and Stu wants Uno to bring it! Uno says he’ll show them what they want, but then Stu shows Uno NIGHTFALL on Brandon! Uno says challenge accepted, and he will show them everything! Who survives at Death Before Dishonor?
Leyla Hirsch VS Nicole Matthews!
Leyla is back to make the ROH Women’s Division LEGIT, and she’s taking on a wrestler also making her return after nearly 14 YEARS! But who will prove to be the bigger deal in this day and age?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the two circle. The two tie up, Leyla wrenches to a hammerlock, but Nicole switches, headlocks and hits a takeover. Fans rally, Leyla headscissors and flexes, but the fans are on Nicole’s side as she moves around. Nicole pops free, headlocks, but Leyla fights up to throw Nicole away. The two reset and fans rally up. They tie up again, Leyla trips Nicole with a single leg, and she waistlocks to roll Nicole around. Leyla floats around, slaps Nicole around, and even slaps Nicole in the face! Fans boo and Nicole scowls. They circle, tie up, and Leyla wrenches an arm to a wristlock.
Nicole spins, wrenches, waistlocks, but Leyla drops to drag Nicole into a facelock. Nicole switches that, but Leyla switches back. Fans rally, the two fight up, and Nicole arm-drags! Leyla staggers up, into another arm-drag! Fans rally, Nicole DROPKICKS Leyla down! Leyla goes to a corner, Nicole runs in, but Leyla sends her into buckles! Leyla CLUBS Nicole on the back, grins, and smothers Nicole! The ref counts, Leyla lets off, and she stomps a mudhole in! Leyla digs her boot in, lets off as the ref counts, and fans boo. Leyla storms around Nicole, waistlocks and squeezes tight in a REAR BEARHUG!
Nicole endures, fights up, throws elbows, and fans rally as she gets free! Nicole runs, but Leyla gets around, to SLAM her down! Leyla CLUBS away on Nicole’s neck and head! The ref reprimands, Leyla lets off, and fans boo. Nicole flounders, Leyla waistlocks but Nicole switches! Nicole spins Leyla HANGING NECKBREAKER! Fans fire up as Nicole fires forearm after forearm! Nicole fires up, runs, but Leyla hooks her to a backslide! Nicole rolls through, Leyla KNEES her down! Cover, Leyla wins!
Winner: Leyla Hirsch, by pinfall
That knee was LEGIT! She still keeps the Code of Honor, but will Leyla soon be aiming at the ROH Women’s World Championship?
BREAKING NEWS for Death Before Dishonor’s Zero Hour!
Action Andretti & Darius Martin keep climbing the tag ladder, and they take on The Workhorsemen! Then, in a Pure Rules Match, Josh Woods takes on “Hot Sauce” Tracy Williams! And Leyla looks to keep her momentum rolling as she takes on Afro-Punk Trish Adora! And rounding it out, AR Fox takes on Shane Taylor! Will Fox be flying towards his AEW International Championship next Wednesday on Dynamite?
And BREAKING NEWS for Death Before Dishonor’s main show!
After that challenge issued by The Righteous, they and Stu Grayson will face The Dark Order in a FIGHT WITHOUT HONOR!! Will these two trios tear each other down until there’s only one left? Plus, the Mogul Embassy issued their own Open Challenge for the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships, and there was an answer! Leon Ruffin is bringing in Six Or Nine! That’s right, Master Wato & Ryusuke Taguchi are joining the underdog in taking on Brian Cage, Toa Liona & Bishop Kaun! Will the dominance of the Embassy continue? Or will they finally fall?
And in sadder news, Mark Briscoe cannot challenge for the ROH World Championship like he wanted, his injuries have piled up and he will be out for some time. However, given what happened just last night at AEW Dynamite: Blood & Guts, it seems Claudio found a more than apt replacement. He wants to settle things with Pac for storming out on the Blackpool Combat Club, but will he regret giving this opportunity to a Bastard?

Gurv & Harv Sihra, well, they’re just hoping to survive this match! But who makes the biggest impact in the tag division ranks this close to Death Before Dishonor?
The Code of Honor is upheld, though rather lackadaisically by Taven. Fans rally up for Bollywood as the hometown heroes, and the teams sort out.

They put Hurv up top, set him up, PROTON PACK!!! Cover, The Kingdom wins!
Winners: The Kingdom, by pinfall
Mike & Matt win this Fatal 4, and are rolling into their ROH World Tag Team Championship Fatal 4 Way! Will thy Kingdom come and get the gold back around their wastes? Or will the odds not be in their favor against the Lucha Brothers, Best Friends and Aussie Open?
My Thoughts:
A really good ROH, especially for a go-home, and at only 81 minutes. I’ll say again that I hope they stick to this general length, it’s just better. Solid stuff out of Adora VS Utami, Woods VS Stone, and Leyla VS Nicole. And really good stuff leading into Death Before Dishonor. Really good promo and opening match from Daniel Garcia, and of course he won. Nice little stare down between him and Shibata, too, and it’s hard to say where that story is going. Garcia could be a more dedicated ROH star as the Jericho Appreciation Society might disband, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Tony Khan is still a bit stiff and repetitive in his promos but I figured he was going to officially announce Athena VS Willow for the women’s title. And Tony gave all the logical reasons why they’d have this match, namely that Willow beat Athena in the Owen Hart Cup. Athena and Willow were also great in their promos, especially Athena being so upset. Willow is the 2023 Queen of Harts but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’ll become ROH Women’s World Champion. At the same time, this is the perfect time for her to become champion, especially with a new Heel in Leyla Hirsch building her record.
Great match from Castle VS Shane, and Castle is a great choice to face Samoa Joe because of how different they are as personalities. And The Righteous of course squash The Boys, but there wasn’t a lot of fanfare to them and Evil Uno agreeing to a Fight Without Honor Trios match. Even so, that match will be a lot of fun, which I feel like should be more The Dark Order’s win to coincide with them returning to being vicious Heels. They might even add new members in the process, but in the end it’ll be the moral victory for The Righteous as all they’ve really wanted is a vicious Dark Order.
A little surprised the ROH World Six Man titles are on the PPV, but I suppose since ROH doesn’t do monthly PPVs, same as AEW, they have to put in just about everything to make it worth the wait. Pretty sure Ruffin, Taguchi & Wato get beat, though. And we got a really good Four Corner Survival for the main event, though it probably could’ve used a little more time, and more out of the Bollywood Boyz before they took the loss. But after hearing on Dynamite that Best Friends were taking on Lucha Brothers, I’m glad to learn The Kingdom is getting in on it, as they rightfully deserve.
And I’m also glad to learn that surprisingly, Mark Davis is already healthy enough to compete again, so Aussie Open is going to get in on the match. Aussie Open could make a massive comeback, taking the ROH Tag titles tomorrow night, and even going back for the titles they had to vacate in NJPW. It’d be quite the honor if Aussie Open were to become the 100TH IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions while reigning as ROH World Tag Team Champions.
My Score: 8.6/10

Mexico City fires up for the Blackhat Cowboy as he makes his way into Arena Mexico for the first time! Hangman has a mic to say, “Hola! Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL. This is the best pro-wrestling in the world!

As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.
On the other side, ROH World Champion Bandido leads the way for his team, followed by Templario and the Atlantis father and son.

MJF w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Mistico!
The Scumbag only ever does or uses something when it benefits him, and being extremely patriotic for the United States only seems to happen when he wants to stick it to someone not from the United States. MJF waves Ol’ Glory while he, MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin walk down to the ring, but will he have to wave the white flag of surrender here tonight? Or will MJF somehow screw over the arguably greatest and most beloved man in CMLL?
In fact, to counter MJF being an American idiot, Mistico takes off his Sin Cara mask to reveal the colors of Mexico’s flag and therefore the colors of his people. He also has Me Muero as his theme, and the fans all know that one! The bell rings and the two circle while the fans rally behind Mistico. The two tie up, MJF SHOVES Mistico away, and then MJF soaks up the heat. MJF mockingly claps and then says up theirs! MVP tells MJF to worry about Mistico, not the fans. The fans tell MJF off and MJF tells them to shut up. MJF and Mistico tie up, Mistico SHOVES MJF, and Mistico eggs MJF on! MJF gets up, he and Mistico circle again, and they tie up. MJF kicks low and grins.
MJF brings Mistico around to headlock but Mistico fires body shots. Mistico powers up and out, then CHOPS! Mistico winds up and the fans rally, and he knuckle locks before he CHOPS again! Mistico goes up, up, and he tightrope walks to FLYING ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Mistico then hits a CODE RED! Cover, TWO! MJF bails out but Mistico builds speed! Mistico handsprings to fake MJF out! MJF thinks he’s smooth for running away, but then MVP tells him to focus on Mistico, not on the fans. MJF says he knows, and he eggs on Mistico. Mistico runs out there to chase MJF, but then the Hurt Syndicate stands in the way!
The fans boo, Mistico wags his finger, and he tells them to part. MJF runs up to ROCK Mistico first! The fans boo but MJF high-fives his guys. MJF says, “Easy! Too easy!” MJF puts Mistico in the ring, smirks while the fans call him more names. MJF swivels his hips, then runs up, but Mistico dodges the knee drop! Mistico runs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Mistico has MJF in a corner. MJF wants mercy, but Mistico says nope! Mistico runs up, but MJF YANKS him into buckles! MJF stomps away on Mistico, then goes to the other end to stand on the corner. MJF soaks up heat as he does the Pledge of Allegiance!
The fans boo, and MVP again reprimands MJF, he needs to be about business, not about trolling! MJF goes back to Mistico, drags him up, and he brings Mistico around, but Mistico JAWBREAKERS! Mistico runs, hops on, but MJF stops Code Red to reel Mistico in! POWER BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Mistico survives, MVP says this is still fine, and Grand Slam goes picture in picture. MJF sits Mistico up, and he pulls at the mask! MJF’s lucky this is an AEW based event, CMLL rules say this is tantamount to a disqualification! MJF rips at the eyehole, then clamps on a chinlock. MJF grinds Mistico down but Mistico endures.
Mistico fights while the fans tell MJF off again. Mistico rises up, fires body shots, then runs to ROCK MJF! Mistico fires forearms but MJF throat chops! MJF TOSSES Mistico out, distracts the ref, and the Hurt Syndicate attacks! BARRIER BACKBREAKER from Shelton! Shelton shoves Mistico back into the ring, MJF covers, TWO! Mistico is still in this but the ref is a bit suspicious of the Hurt Syndicate. MVP defends their innocence, and MJF puts Mistico on ropes. MJF CHOKES Mistico, the ref counts, and MJF stops at 4. This lets Lashley CHOKE Mistico and throw hands! The Hurt syndicate gets away with more, and MJF covers, TWO!
MVP tells fans to callete, they saw nothing! MJF stalks Mistico, stomps him on the foot, then has him on the ropes. MJF stomps him more, then soaks up heat. MJF drags Mistico up, scoops and carries him, then SLAMS him down! MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs while Grand Slam returns to single picture. MJF sits Mistico back up, runs the ropes, and then just steps up to pelvic thrust! The fans boo and Mistico is pissed now! MVP says no more trolling, MJF, he’s already told him that! MJF ROCKS Mistico, but Mistico eggs him on! MJF ROCKS Mistico, CLUBS him again and again, but then Mistico blocks to fire off forearms! And KICKS, SOBATS and KICKS!
The fans fire up with Mistico, but MJF BITES Mistico’s mask! MJF whips, Mistico reverses, then he ducks ‘n’ dodges to handspring and BACK ELBOW! The fans fire up and Mistico aims from a corner. But MJF runs up! Mistico dodges, runs back in, but MJF puts him on the apron. Mistico GAMANGIRIS! The fans fire up, Mistico springboards, CROSSBODY!

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

The fans are electric as Mistico survives! “ESTA LUCHA!” as MJF and the ref argue now. MJF then runs up to LOW BLOW Mistico!??!

Typical MJF throws a tantrum with that blatant breaking of the rules! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but then MJF SHOVES the ref down! That’ll be a fine, but MJF just rains down fists on Mistico!

4 Million Pesos Fatal 4 Way: Ricochet VS Mascara Dorada VS Holo.grm VS Lio Rush!
The One & Only is still looking for someone, anyone, to be worthy of following him on his journey to gold. Maybe having an extra $210K will help that? Or will someone else cash in big with a Grand Slam?

Will The CEO only add to her treasury when she and- Wait, speaking of Toni Storm, she’s on the tron! “She’s the kind of woman who always has money on her mind and someone else on her lips. She’s the kind of woman mother takes home to you. With thighs as big as the world and long as a wet dream. One thing she did know how to hold the gold, and not the Acapulco kind, either. She had a date with a Chief Executive Officer who wanted a kiss, but one belt too many.
“Deepthroat some tabasco, baby, it’s time to turn up the heat. There was one chance in a million she would bump into her past, but like everything out of the past, it was all behind her now.” The fans cheer as the noir narration ends, because surprise! That’s… Mina Shirakawa? Because Toni Storm sneaks into the ring from the crowd! The fans fire up as the lady in red takes a sniff of the gold.

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