Backstage interview with Stokely Hathaway.
Lexi Nair is with the ROH board member, whose arm is in a sling, and says he asked for this time. Yes, because Joe and Stokely were victorious against The Boys. And as Stokely recalls, someone was laughing at that idea. They were heehee-ing and haha-ing at Stokely saying he was the Ruff Rider of ROH. Everyone wants to know, did Samoa Joe respect Stokely Hathaway? The real question is does Stokely Hathaway respect Samoa Joe? And the answer is yes. So what about that? Huh? Lexi says she’ll be honest, no one here respects Stokely. She hands him the mic and leaves, and he says, “Well damn. I was about to ask you if you wanted to go to TGI Fridays, TK left his card on the table.
“But just like Tyler Perry said, I can do bad all by my damn self. Get the camera off me.” Stokely storms off, will he make the wrestlers and fans of ROH respect him?
Leyla Hirsch VS Leila Grey!
Maria Kanellis-Bennett has been promising LEGIT opportunities to Leyla, but will Leyla earn those all on her own? Or will the Last Baddie Standing prove she can be just as dangerous in the ROH Women’s Division?

Backstage interview with The Mogul Embassy.
Lexi is with Prince Nana, Brian Cage, Toa Liona & Bishop Kaun and says they’re going to defend the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships against Action Andretti, Darius Martin & Lee Johnson. Nana laughs and says those guys are just “Dumb, Dumb & Dumbier! Lexi, you are looking at the ROH Six Man World Champions! How long have we been champions, huh? How many of these opponents have they sent to us? We have beaten these guys so many times! Huh? Why?” Kaun asks Lexi, “Have we not beaten these boys enough?” He then asks Action & Darius, “How much agony do you want to be put through? Have we not embarrassed you enough?”
Kaun says that being the vicious fighting champions they are, go ahead! The Embassy challenges Action, Darius & Lee to bring something they’ve never seen before and actually beat them for once! Cage says that it’s Andretti & Darius again! Again! It doesn’t matter how many times those guys go looking for a new partner like the prize in a box of Cracker Jack, the outcome will be the same, and that’s The Embassy walking out on top! And they don’t have time to waste! The gain train leaves at 9 AM sharp, and only has two stops: Gain City and Pound Town! And Cage knows those three aren’t body guys, so they don’t have a ticket!
So Embassy will leave Action, Darius & Lee behind, steamroll them, and still be ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions! They are absolutely the best at what they do! And what they do isn’t very nice, but it’s damn cool! Who betta?! Mogul Embassy Foreva! Liona roars, will he and the Embassy feast on yet another trio?

Backstage interview with Tony Nese & Mark Sterling.
Lexi is with The Premier Athlete and Smart Mark, and brings up that last week, Nese said he wasn’t gonna wrestle and do his group training instead, but then Jerry Lynn told him he was wrestling… Nese says the problem was that Jerry Lynn doesn’t think a verbal agreement is legally binding! Sterling says he was absolutely assured that Nese was Not going to wrestle and that he could do his group training. Sterling will make sure this issue is cleared up. But that doesn’t matter now. Out there, back here, the mission stays the same. Nese sees it wherever he goes. Look, right here!
Nese calls someone over, and they walk up. Nese asks what’s in the cup, and the guy says, “Soda.” SODA! Do you know what’s in soda? SUGAR! Tons and tons of it! And y’know what sugar does? It KILLS you! What? Nese tells the guy to pour his drink out and get some damn water! Hurry, get outta Nese’s shot. The guy sulks away, and Nese says if ROH thinks they’re gonna stop Nese and deprive the fans of this training, “I’d like to see them find someone who’s gonna stop me.” Nese has issued the ultimatum, will ROH management show him not to test them?
Athena & Billie Starkz VS The Renegade Sisters!
Just as The Fallen Goddess said, she and “Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths” are going to settle things with the upstart Robyn & Charlette. Will Athena & Billie prove they run this division? Or will the Renegades get one over on the ROH Women’s World Champion?

Athena eventually cools off, and she tells Billie to head on out with her. Will this “friendship” work out if Athena keeps demanding too much of Billie?
Ryan Nemeth VS ???
The Hollywood Hunk is here in ROH, and he has a mic to “welcome everybody here to Hunk Appreciation Night!” And he’ll explain what that means, it’s easy. First off, HE is the hunk! Secondly, the fans all appreciate him! He’ll help them get started. “Thank You, Hunk! Thank You, Hunk!” Some fans do echo that and Nemeth says he forgot they’re a wrestling crowd, he’ll do it slower so they’ll understand. “Thank. You. Hunk!” The fans chant “C M PUNK!” Nemeth sighs, and says that since it is Hunk Appreciation Night, he wants the locker room to appreciate him, too. So if there is anybody in the back who’s got a problem with The Hunk, he will fight anyone here!
“And when The Hunk says anybody, he means anybody! Even a world champion! LET’S GO!” Well ask and he receives, here comes CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI! The ROH World Champion dared any and all would-be contenders to step up and prove they can do this “job” better than he can, but will he cross Nemeth off that list?
As Claudio steps into the ring, Nemeth still has the mic to make sure Claudio understands, when he said world champion, he honestly didn’t realize Claudio was here. Nemeth has no beef with Claudio, but doesn’t blame him for wanting to get his hands all over this. But no, not tonight. Nemeth looks to leave, but Claudio trips him up! The bell rings, and here comes the SWISS SWING! Fans fire up as Claudio goes around and around and around, and stops at a count of FOURTY!!

Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall
Claudio shakes Nemeth’s hand for the Code of Honor, and then says, “Careful what you wish for. Just because you don’t see me doesn’t mean I’m not there.” The Swiss Superman now heads on to All In London, will he, the Blackpool Combat Club and the returning Proud ‘n’ Powerful conquer Eddie Kingston, Penta El Zero Miedo & Best Friends in Stadium Stampede?
NJPW World Television Championship: Zack Sabre Jr. VS Christopher Daniels!
The Front Man of TMDK has been nigh unstoppable since becoming the inaugural NJPW World TV Champion, his first singles belt in NJPW ever! But while this belt is about the future, ZSJ is taking on an ROH icon, who has won just about every title in ROH! Will ZSJ keep season one of this title going?

ZSJ says time’s ticking away, and he stalks around Daniels.
ZSJ stands on Daniels’ leg, then twists the other with a standing toehold! Then ZSJ STOMPS that leg, then STOMPS the bad arm! Fans rally as ZSJ paces around. ZSJ clamps onto Daniels’ arm, Daniels fights up, and fans rally again. ZSJ powers the double wristlock but Daniels whips free, only for ZSJ to run him over! ZSJ headlocks, but Daniels SAIDOS free!

Winner: Zack Sabre Jr, by submission (still NJPW World Television Champion)
The Front Man does it again, and in just under 10 minutes! But he shows Daniels respect, and Daniels shows it back. They shake hands for the Code of Honor and Daniels even raises ZSJ’s hand. Will ZSJ stick around to keep running the show? Will anyone ever stop him and this inaugural season?
My Thoughts:
A really good ROH for being 84 minutes, and the “filler” matches were actually a lot of fun tonight. Cutler with Colt as his cold spray toting cameraman is an interesting development, with the story probably built on Being The Elite or something, and they make a good combo already. Great match out of Blake and Cutler with Blake getting a great win. Maybe Blake finds his way to a title opportunity, but at this point, he isn’t winning. Joe, Shibata and Claudio are too badass for All Heart to beat, but he could look awesome even in losing. And speaking of Claudio, I like him humbling Nemeth there in that squash match. No idea who ROH is going to throw at him next, other than revisiting and finishing story with Eddie Kingston.
Sydal VS Serpentico was also good, and I figured Sydal would win. He’s kinda in the same boat as Blake, though, with credentials to challenge for titles but not really to win them right now. Good promo from Stokely where he tries to spin last week’s win in his favor, and then Lexi just throws it all back in his face. Good promo from Nese and Sterling to frame the story of Nese’s health and fitness obsession as being held down by management, like a strange flipside to the usual “corrupt management holds down popular Face.” Nese daring ROH to throw whoever at him has to lead to like, Nese VS Shibata. I don’t see that many Faces in ROH coming off as the menacing kind Nese would be afraid of outside of The Wrestler.
Great opener out of Castle & The Boys VS Dark Order, and it makes sense that Dark Order wins by taking down a Boy. We still need new people to #JoinDarkOrder, but hey, them winning can be the recruiting tool this time around. Good promo from Mogul Embassy talking trash on Action, Darius & Lee Johnson ahead of their Six Man title match, which I would think Embassy wins. But what a shocker if Action, Darius & Lee did win on the ROH between All In and All Out. Then Dark Order can move in as the Heels to take on Face champions while Mogul Embassy goes full time in AEW, probably to go after the AEW Trios Championships, which I’m just assuming ends up on Billy Gunn & The Acclaimed this Sunday.
Really good match from Kiera VS Frost for a one-week story of “Fire” calling out ice. Kiera winning is fine, she herself needs momentum if she’s to go after a title at some point. Now, yes AEW has a midcard women’s title but also struggles to find time to schedule women’s matches, but hey, why not do something for ROH? ROH Women’s TV Championship to parallel the ROH World TV Championship, and have Kiera, Frost, Trish Adora, maybe a couple others, big tournament or big singular match like elimination or ladder match, and boom, you have something more for all these great talents putting in the work.
Really good match out of Leyla VS Leila, though not exactly on the level of Adam Cole VS Adam Page or something. Hirsch was of course winning, and there’s still the question of whether she’ll join Maria Kanellis and the Kingdom’s Army. I’m leaning towards no, she won’t, and some other woman joins Maria and looks to beat Leyla down. Marina Shafir is also legit, give us Leyla VS Marina for that story. And then really good stuff in the story of Athena & Billie. Really fun promo with Lexi, and really good tag match with the Renegades. I like that they kept the dysfunction to a minimum, really only affecting the finish and post match stuff. This has to break down fast, though, for Athena VS Billie to happen at some point.
And as with all of ZSJ’s matches, and certainly all of his NJPW World TV Championship defenses, we got great stuff going on in a small window of time. Daniels is not really who I’d expect to challenge for the belt NJPW themselves marketed as “the youth movement” title. But hey, Daniels is someone who can keep up with ZSJ, and really adds to ZSJ’s title reign with ZSJ winning here. There was mention of Metalik getting a shot, that will be great because Metalik is all about speed, and acrobatics, which is like the exactly opposite style as ZSJ’s style. They’re going to have a great match, but I would think ZSJ finds a way to win. At most, it’s a time limit draw so Metalik looks strong and can go after some other title.
My Score: 8.7/10

World Tag League 2024 A Block: Gabe Kidd & SANADA VS KENTA & Chase Owens!
No NJPW round robin tournament would be complete without Bullet Club VS Bullet Club! The Mad Man & Cold Skull lost to Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa, Fang Revived & Crown Jewel lost to Bishamon, so both teams are in a fighting mood. Which faction within the club comes out feeling Just Too Sweet?

Sanada hurries to help Gabe and now the brawling is all in the same area! Kenta has Sanada now while Chase keeps after Gabe.
Things finally go back to the ground level and to ringside. Kenta ROCKS Sanada, but Sanada ROCKS Kenta! Gabe CHOKES Chase with a chair!

Cover, War Dogs win!!
Winners: Gabe Kidd & Sanada, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Kenta & Chase earn 0)
The War Dogs struck first and never let up, and now they win to break even. Wait, as Kenta & Chase are helped away, and even as Sanada heads out, Gabe sits cross-legged while he has the mic. “Let me be very effin’ clear. You crossed the line as soon as you ran to Tokyo Sports and started calling me all this s*it. Unprofessional, all this s*it. Let me make this very effin’ clear! You said you wanted, you said the fans wanted, I said it before: I don’t give a F what anyone wants but me! And I wanna end your career! So iitengo (January 5th), Gabe Kidd, Kenny Omega, LET’S EFFIN’ GO!!”
The fans are fired up to hear WrestleDynasty now has a massive crossover match added! But will Gabe keep making this about The Best Bout Machine until it comes back to bite him? Or is that just the motivation he needs so he and Sanada can take the trophies?
World Tag League 2024 A Block: Shota Umino & Tomoaki Honma VS Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa!
The Roughneck & Everyone’s Kokeshi had a rough opening round with their loss, but The Front Man & The Mullet had a mighty main event win. But the tournament might be taking a backseat when Shota wants after the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Will Shota earn a title match while heading for the trophies? Or will ZSJ prove Shota’s just not ready?

Honma BLASTS Oiwa for good measure but the ref reprimands him. Shota stands and brings ZSJ up. Shota puts ZSJ in, which the fans applaud, and Shota covers. ONE, but Shota stays on ZSJ. Shota CLUBS ZSJ, tags Honma, and Honma stomps ZSJ in the corner. The ref counts but Honma digs his boot in. The ref counts, Honma steps off, and Honma drags ZSJ up. Honma CLUBS ZSJ, CLUBS him again, then follows him to ropes.
Honma CHOPS ZSJ and ZSJ sputters. Honma CHOPS again, and CHOPS again! ZSJ hobbles away but Honma is on him with a whip. Honma ELBOWS ZSJ down, pats his head and runs, but he stops short of the kokeshi as ZSJ moves! ZSJ grabs an arm and wrangles Honma into a TRIANGLE HOLD! Oiwa BLASTS Shota while Honma scrambles around! The fans fire up as Honma fights and drags ZSJ with him. ZSJ shifts to have just the arm, or no, not just the arm!

Shota runs up to fire forearms on ZSJ! Shota whips, ZSJ reverses but Shota CLOBBERS ZSJ! Shota BLASTS Oiwa for good measure! The fans fire up with Shota as he whips ZSJ corner to corner. Shota runs up, to UPPERCUT!
Shota reels ZSJ in, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect but Shota shrugs that off. Shota drags ZSJ up, but ZSJ fights the clinch to go for the arm. ZSJ elbows Shota, whips, but Shota reverses to trip ZSJ, turn him over, and STF! ZSJ fights the crossface portion, slips out and wrangles Shota into a FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Shota fights up, but ZSJ pushes on the arm! Shota still fights, slips around, and arm-drags free! ZSJ avoids the dropkick to the leg to NECK TWIST! Tag to Oiwa and Oiwa drags Shota up. Oiwa headlocks, Shota powers out, but Oiwa runs Shota over!
Things keep moving, Oiwa counters Shota’s hip toss with a hip toss! Shota gets up, Oiwa DROPKICKS! Oiwa kips up and the fans fire up! Shota stands Oiwa up, scoops and POWERSLAMS, to then run and SPLASH DOWN! Cover, TWO! Oiwa keeps on Shota but Shota fights the anaconda plex! Shota CLUBS away on Oiwa, then catches him to a clinch. Oiwa slips free, shoves, but Shota dropkicks the legs out! The fans fire up while both men are down! Shota crawls away, hot tag to Honma! Honma storms up to CHOP Oiwa! And CHOP! And CHOP again! Oiwa is in a corner, Honma whips him corner to corner, then runs up to ELBOW! And BULLDOG!
The fans fire up with Honma and he runs, KOKESHI FLOPS as Oiwa moves! Oiwa brings Honma up, but Honma fires hands! Oiwa ROCKS Honma back! Honma fires another flurry, but Oiwa ROCKS him again! Oiwa runs to ROLLING ELBOW! Honma falls and the fans fire up! Oiwa watches Honma go to a corner, and then he runs in, DROPKICK! And BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Honma stays in his and the fans fire up! Oiwa drags Honma up, gut wrenches, but Honma fights it! Honma wrenches out to short arm LARIAT! Oiwa stays up to short arm LARIAT in return!

Winners: Bishamon, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Takagi & Yota earn 0)
A sudden turnaround, but it can’t be called an upset with how Goto & Hashi have been World Tag League winners and IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions besides! But if this is how hard Takagi & Tsuji fought, yet they still fell short, how much harder must they fight to be on top of the block?
As for Bishamon, Hashi has the mic first. “Last year, Bishamon made history be becoming the first-ever IWGP Tag Team Champions to win this league. We also achieved the first-ever threepeat. This year, we’re looking to go undefeated!” The fans cheer that lofty goal, and even chant for “BI-SHA-MON! BI-SHA-MON!” Hashi says then, in Kumamoto, when they win their FOURTH STRAIGHT tournament, “We’ll show you our happiest Zanmai celebration ever.” The fans are certainly intrigued by that. Hashi says Bishamon’s four-peat will come in the blink of an eye!
With that mic drop, the mission is clear! No need to #GetBackUp when you’re still riding high, but will Goto & Hashi continue to add to their historic achievements? Or will a team come along to ruin it all?
Here are the NEW A Block standings!
Jeff Cobb & Callum Newman: 2-0, 4 points
Bishamon: 2-0, 4 points
Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji: 1-1, 2 points
Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa: 1-1, 2 points
Gabe Kidd & Sanada: 1-1, 2 points
Shota Umino & Tomoaki Honma: 1-1, 2 points
Kenta & Chase Owens: 0-2, 0 points
Alex Zayne & Ryusuke Taguchi: 0-2, 0 points
My Thoughts:
A great event for WTL A Block, but I hope there won’t be any more delays in the On Demand upload, there’s too much to do on a Friday to wait on this. Anyway, I had a bad feeling Funky Sauce would lose again, but they had a strong showing against Callum & Cobb. Great brawl between Gabe & Sanada with Kenta & Chase. But considering Gabe is building towards that match with Kenny Omega, good win for him and Sanada, and then good promo from Gabe to call Omega out. This all probably takes Gabe & Sanada out of the running for the finals, because they can play up how Gabe is too distracted by wanting after Omega.
Great match from Shota & Honma VS ZSJ & Oiwa, but this match also proved me right from earlier. This was just a formality to make ZSJ VS Shota for the world title official. Shota gets the upset win on ZSJ and now that is Shota’s path to WrestleKingdom. But Bishamon VS LIJ was awesome stuff, and what a great win for Goto & Hashi. Goto & Hashi are definitely set up to make another run at the trophies, but I’m still not sure of their chances of winning. The threepeat was pretty surprising as it was, but a four-peat would be wild.
My Score: 9/10

QT steps up to say yes, he does! Enough with the “Boom,” first off! Tomorrow night, QT brings the doom!
QT told AJ 20 years ago that he didn’t have it. 20 years later, AJ still doesn’t have it! The fans boo but AJ just shrugs that off. AJ tells QT that QT’s been waiting those 20 years to get AJ in the ring. But AJ’s been waiting ever since QT tossed those double chunk chocolate cookies! The fans cheer that!

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Lexy is with La Mera Mera and brings up how next week will be an ALL LUCHA Rampage. That must be exciting. Rosa is beyond excitement! It is about time they get some lucha libre to spice up Rampage. Atlantis Jr, Hechicero, and the return of Mystico! C’mon, now! Well what about Rosa? Yes, what about Rosa? Rosa hasn’t had a true lucha match in awhile, but why not? An open challenge for any luchadora or female wrestler that wants after La Mera Mera! In steps Harley Cameron, wearing a Hologram mask, and putting on a robot voice. “Greetings. I am famed luchadora, Harley-gram, the female counterpart to Hologram.”
Rosa is trying not to laugh as “Harley-gram” officially accepts the open challenge. Rosa tells Harley-gram that she looks familiar. Like a certain someone she beat two weeks ago. Does not compute with Harley-gram. Okay, fine. Compute this: Next week, Rosa will yank her cord and shut her down! OH SHUT UP! What? Uh… Danger! Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! “Harley-gram” runs off and Rosa asks if this is really happening. Rosa sighs, but will she just have to reboot Harley back to factory settings?
Ricochet speaks.
“I have had my eyes on the International title since I debuted in AEW. And Takeshita has cost me my chance at becoming International Champion on more than one occasion. I was the last person to pin the International Champion, and I plan on doing it one more time, at Full Gear. At Full Gear, Takeshita finds out what the world already knows: That Ricochet is not from here. Ricochet is outta this world!” The King of Flight is determined to dethrone The Alpha. Will Ricochet become The One & Only International Champion?

A great battle from these factions, but it is Strong Style that wins out! Will this happen again when Ishii goes 1v1 with The Learning Tree? Or will Chris Jericho make sure the Age of Nueve lasts forever and ever?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for the go-home to Full Gear, but it was definitely just a go-home. They’re even ending with the November Rain music video from last Saturday as I type this. Good promo from Ricochet to hype up his match with Takeshita, but that’s still a toss-up to me. A part of me does want Ricochet to have the International Champion so Takeshita can enter the Continental Classic and go after Okada like he was supposed to do just a month ago. It really depends on what the Don Callis Family story is going to be with Ospreay and Fletcher, as The Don Callis Family isn’t losing everything at Full Gear.
Great opening tag of Mariah & Mina VS Nyla & Harley, though I really thought that was going to be the main event. But at the same time, of course Mariah & Mina won. No tease for anything at Full Gear so maybe they’ll wait to surprise us with Toni Storm or something tomorrow. Harley becoming “Harley-gram” just to get a rematch with Rosa was hilarious stuff, as does that “All Lucha Rampage” episode they’re hyping up. But oh look, next week is back-to-back Rampage and Collision on a Saturday just to try and undercut Survivor Series. It won’t matter, I’m still watching WarGames and leaving AEW for after, but it’s nice of them to do everything on one night.
Very good filler match of Juice VS Butcher, that was a strong return to singles action for Juice. Very nice Zero Hour matches but I kinda wish they’d given us a segment on TV to set up Deonna VS Anna rather than just announcing it. Maybe there was something social media had but I’m still not someone who follows all the socials. And that Fatal 4 Way is awesome, can’t wait to see who comes out of that a winner. Good promo overall from Big Boom AJ and QT Marshall, but I’m not sure it needed to be a weigh-in. A press conference style segment would’ve been fine, or even a contract signing, but I guess they just wanted to set up QT’s “lay off the cookies” joke. QT stands tall with his cutter taking down AJ, so you can bet AJ dooms QT in the Zero Hour.
Also great Six Man Tag main event, though I don’t think I’ve ever seen a main event without entrances. Great win for Conglomeration, though, but yeah, Ishii sure ain’t winning the ROH World Championship.
My Score: 8.8/10
