ROH shares an interview from after AEW All Out.
Lexi Nair was with Athena and Billie Starkz, and asks what happened out there. Athena asks back, “What do you think happened? Billie screwed up! We had a match on Zero Hour, and what were you supposed to do, minion?” Billie thinks, and then says, “Cheer!” Athena says no, Billie was supposed to help Athena’s team win at all costs! So when Willow Nightingale POUNCED Athena into the railing, Billie should’ve helped “Diabla!” But Billie was helping Athena. No, no, no, Athena is not a child, she is the Forever Champion! She doesn’t need help! So…! Athena says Billie is an idiot! She is, Lexi, she is an idiot!
Allysin Kay storms in and asks if Billie is really gonna stand there and take that. Athena asks, “Who is you, porcelain?” Allysin tells Athena not to play like that, she knows who this is. So why don’t you pick on someone… Well, not her own size, as Allysin is taller. But someone of her caliber. If Athena wants a fight, fight Allysin! Billie says yeah! The ROH Women’s World Champ can take her! Athena says no, that is not how this works. Allysin is a porcelain hussy, who faces the other porcelain hussies to earn her way to a title match. So whatever pedestal Allysin came off of, it is not the one on Athena’s show.
Well, Allysin just wanted a plain old fight but they’re the ones making it about the title. Let’s just make it for the title! Nah, Athena’s head, neck and back- Billie asks if Athena is scared. Allysin says the “minion” has a point. Athena tells everyone to stop. But fine. Athena will give Allysin her match for the title on Athena’s show. Billie is excited, but Athena tells Allysin that when she beats the brakes off her, Athena does not wanna see Allysin on her show ever again. Let’s roll out, fam! Athena and Billie head out, Lexi tells Allysin way to go. Allysin says that was easier than she thought. But then Athena snatches “bestie” Lexi away. Will Allysin snatch the title away from Athena?
ROH Women’s World Championship: Athena w/ Billie Starkz VS Allysin Kay!
Why wait for this high stakes battle? Tonight opens with the Fallen Goddess taking on the ROH icon who is looking to bring her career full circle. Will Athena keep her Forever Reign going to 37-0? Or will she see AK don’t play?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see how long forever really is!
The Code of Honor is upheld though barely, and the bell rings. The fans rally up, Athena and Allysin circle, and Athena hears all her fans cheer. She hops up onto a corner to say hi to them, then she resets with Allysin. They approach but Athena ROCKS Allysin! Athena cheers herself on but Allysin storms up to pull Athena’s hair! Athena slips through to arm-drag and kip up, and cheer herself on again. Athena runs up but Allysin sidesteps then scoops! Allysin hits a FALL AWAY SLAM! Then she whips Athena to a corner, scoops her and hits a SIDEWALK SLAM! Athena staggers up, into a BOOT! Cover, ONE!!
Athena bails out and Billie asks if she’s okay. Allysin waits on Athena, the ring count climbs, but then Allysin goes out. Allysin says there’s no timeouts here. Allysin storms up but Athena uses Billie as a shield. Billie says hold on, calm down, she’s the nice one! Allysin tells Billie to get out of the way but it’s all Athena as she sneaks around to RAM Allysin into railing! Athena scowls and Billie is a bit horrified. Athena tells Billie to do her job and then slides into the ring. Athena distracts the ref, and Billie is hesitant to attack Allysin. Billie looks around, Athena can see she hasn’t done anything and is upset.
Allysin gets in the ring, Athena throws her down! And CLUBS her, too! Athena stomps a mudhole in the corner, the ref counts, but Athena tells him to leave her alone!

Athena and Billie cheer, and Athena makes sure Billie keeps track of this stuff. Yeah, that was ten total. Athena drags Allysin up, fireman’s carries, but Allysin hits a crucifix takedown! TWO, roll-up! TWO, and Allysin runs, but into a fireman’s carry! WASTELAND SLAM! Cover, TWO! Allysin toughs it out and Athena grows frustrated. Athena drags Allysin around to rain down fists! The ref reprimands the ground ‘n’ pound but fans fire up!

TWO!! Allysin kicks low, reels Athena in, AK47!! Then ANKLE LOCK!! Athena endures, reaches out, crawls her way over as Billie calls to her, but Athena wants her to push the ropes closer?

Cover, Athena wins!
Winner: Athena, by pinfall (still ROH Women’s World Champion)
Billie celebrates Athena pulling out the win all on her own! Athena hobbles but she holds the title up, now 37-0! Athena then calls Billie in, and Billie thinks she wants a high-five. No, Athena wants Billie to smash Allysin off the title belt! Fans are torn, but Billie says no, she doesn’t want to do that. So Athena SMASHES Allysin! Athena says BILLIE messed up! But Athena won! How did Billie do something wrong? Will Billie find a way to break away from the Fallen Goddess?
Tony Nese w/ Mark Sterling VS Silas Young!
If anyone can understand The Premier Athlete’s desire for a more physically fit audience, it’s surely the Last Real Man in Professional Wrestling, right? Sterling of course asks the fans to quiet down, and stop thinking about the mush on a plate with cheese and grease that Chicago calls “deep dish pizza,” because Nese here has something to say. Nese tells Chicago that it was almost three months ago that Nese was in this very ring, in this very building, and he gave them all the greatest advice they were ever given: get in shape! And when he found out they were coming back, he was so excited to see what they’d all done with that advice.
It’s all about progress, and so Nese spoke with ROH management, and finally tonight, we see what Chicago’s got! We’re all gonna do GROUP TRAINING! Stand up! Stretch! Reach for the sky! Get it? Oh, okay, starting to smell. Arms down. Now, let’s see how athletic they are! Jog in place! C’mon! What even is this? Stop, stop, this is just sad. the problem is that none of them can keep up with Nese’s training. To be honest, there is not a single MAN in this crowd! In fact, aside from Nese- WAIT! The Last Real Man makes his way out! Maybe he prioritizes how you conduct yourself over how you look! Will he whoop Nese’s ego into shape here tonight?
The Code of Honor is upheld, but Nese is talking trash the entire time. Nese then takes a swing, but Silas dodges! The bell rings, Silas fires haymakers and CHOPS! Nese gets away to a corner, then he YANKS Silas into the corner to fire body shots! Nese bumps Silas off buckles then fires up! “I’M the real man!” Fans boo but Silas CHOPS Nese back! Silas ROCKS Nese, CHOPS him again, then brings him around to whip to ropes. Nese reverses but Silas holds ropes to then toss Nese out, and triangle jump LARIAT! Fans fire up as Nese falls to the floor! Silas goes out after Nese and says it’s time to see who’s a real man now!
Nese tumbles over steps as he tries to get away. Sterling distracts Silas but backs down as Silas shows punch, and Nese POSTS Silas! Nese hammerlocks Silas’s arm and RAMS him into the apron! Then Nese puts Silas in the ring, stomps him, and talks trash to Chicago as he stomps Silas against ropes. The ref reprimands, Nese lets off, but Sterling pulls the bad arm! Silas breaks free but Sterling still gets away. Nese soaks up the heat, he brings Silas up but Silas throws hands and CHOPS! Nese knees low! And CLUBS Silas, then CLUBS away on that arm! HOTSHOT to the arm! Nese then hurries up the corner to MISSILE DROPKICK!
Silas writhes, Nese covers, TWO! Nese keeps on Silas’s arm, and drops a leg right on the shoulder! And again! Fans boo but Nese clamps onto the arm and steps over for a mounted armlock.

Into a ghost pin! TWO, and Silas watches Nese! Fireman’s carry, but Nese slips free to yank the arm! Fireman’s carry, but Silas slips free to O’Conner Roll! TWO, and Silas is sent into the POST! Nese runs side to side, PREMIER KNEE!! Cover, Nese wins!

Sterling celebrates with his client for finding a way to beat the Last Real Man! Sterling gives Silas his card, and Nese shows Silas respect with the Code of Honor. But will Nese learn to show some respect to fans?
Backstage interview with Dalton Castle.
Lexi is with The Peacock but points out he looks flustered. Castle says yes, he is exhausted! He has this goal, but there’s all these roadblocks, and it’s just so, so… Well, flustered is a great word, Lexi, that’s what’s going on. This smorgasbord of problems is preventing him from doing what he wants to do, and that is to do this for the fans! Does Lexi know what a smorgasbord is? She thinks. Well, he doesn’t mean charcuterie, or a hodge-podge. There’s a hummus ball of Samoa Joe, a gurken pickle of Stokely Hathaway, and they’re all colluding to impede what Castle is doing. And his Boys are sweet but they’re a handful to take care of!
And it’s so hard when people keep putting their hands all over The Boys! Castle takes a chug of water, and Lexi says he at least has a great looking new T-shirt for sale. Castle says he can’t even be happy about that, though, because all these distractions! He needs to EAT this smorgasbord of problems and put them in his belly! So what’s he gonna start with? He doesn’t know! He just doesn’t know! Well, flustered, bamboozled and distracted, will Castle be able to make it to the gold he wants?

Backstage interview with Kiera Hogan.
Lexi is with the fiery young star, and brings up her match with Leila Grey tonight. They used to be best baddies together, so is there any tension here? Kiera says to be honest, she and Leila didn’t have a problem. But if you want it, you can get it, though. Make sure you ready cuz she gives it, boo. But it doesn’t matter if it’s Leila Grey, Lady Frost, or any single woman in this locker room, and they’ll see why Kiera’s the hottest. If you can’t handle the heat, get up out the kitchen. And that’s all, PERIODT.

Frost ROCKS Leyla, but Leyla gets that bad arm to WRING it! But Frost rolls through! Frost rallies on Leyla with elbows and clotheslines! Frost then dodges to kick a leg out, but Leyla ducks the buzzsaw! But the HEEL KICK hits! Leyla goes to a corner, Frost runs in, and she handsprings to CANNONBALL! Fans fire up, Frost covers, TWO!

Winner: Leyla Hirsch, by submission
And the LEGIT win streak makes it to 10-0! Maria and Karter join Leyla in the ring, Karter holding the rope open for her. Not that she needed it but nice that he offered. Maria offers a handshake to Leyla, but Leyla just walks past Maria. Leyla says she doesn’t need anyone, she’s doing just fine all on her own. Maria says okay, but will she cook up something to prove Leyla wrong?
Eddie Kingston & Katsuyori Shibata VS Blake Christian & Gringo Loco!
The Mad King & The Wrestler made a powerful combo at All Out, but a minor miscalculation allowed Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta to win. Will the NJPW Strong Openweight and ROH Pure Champions redeem themselves on ROH TV? Or will All Heart & The Crazy White Boy get themselves some golden tickets in Chicago?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the teams sort out, and fans rally behind Eddie but Shibata starts with Blake. They circle, fans chant for Gringo. Shibata and Blake tie up, Shibata waistlocks but Blake pries the hold open. Shibata shifts to a full nelson, then he spins and snapmares Blake down to a chilock. Blake endures the knee in his back, bridges up to relieve some pressure, but Shibata gets a leg and ties Blake right up into a FIGURE FOUR! Blake endures, fans rally, and Shibata adds pressure by pulling on the foot. Shibata eggs Blake on, avoids his haymakers, and then pushes up for more pressure!
Blake scrambles and gets the ROPEBREAK! Shibata lets off fast, and he brings Blake up. Shibata bumps Blake off buckles, tags in Eddie and fans cheer as Eddie starts up the MACHINE GUN CHOPS! Fans fire up as Eddie tops it off, then tags Shibata. Shibata CHPOS, JABS and repeat! Fans fire up and the ref counts, Blake sits down and Shibata shakes out his hand.

SPRINGBOARD 450, but he has to roll through as Shibata moves!
Blake runs back in to SOBAT! Blake handsprings, but into a SLEEPER!! Shibata squeezes tight, sits Blake down, and then runs to PENALTY KICK!! Cover, Shibata & Eddie win!
Winners: Eddie Kingston & Katsuyori Shibata, by pinfall
The champions win out this time, but they still show respect to Blake & Gringo. Who will be next to challenge The Wrestler for his Pure title? And will The Mad King get himself a shot at Claudio Castagnoli?
Backstage with Josh Woods & Mark Sterling.
Lexi is with The Technical Beast and Smart Mark, and says Woods has seen a lot of success since separating from The Varsity Athletes to focus on his own singles career. So then, what is next for him? Sterling says there has been a lot of success. We’re here in the United Center in Chicago, and Sterling says he got to thinking of the people here. The people of Chicago got to sit through Michael Jordan’s career, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, in his prime. Then Sterling thinks about the people around the world that some day will get to say, “I saw Josh Woods, the greatest wrestler of all time, live.”
And it is just unfortunate that Woods wasn’t doing that tonight here. Because the talent here in ROH is just not up to snuff for Josh Woods, the NATIONAL CHAMPION! So consider this an open challenge. Woods would like to take on the best of the best pure wrestlers from around the world. Because Woods is #DTF, Down To Fight! Any time, any where! Call Sterling at 347-SMART-40, and let’s see what we can do. Then who will answer the call by giving Sterling a call and take on the national champion?
ROH World Championship Proving Ground Match: Claudio Castagnoli w/ Wheeler Yuta VS Lee Johnson!
The Swiss Superman has been ignoring Eddie Kingston while calling out everyone else to step up. Big Shotty’s ready to step up, but will this be his shot? Or will he not even make it to the time limit?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and we’re on the clock. They tie up, Claudio puts Lee in a corner, but the ref counts. Claudio lets off and he pie faces Lee. So Lee SLAPS back! Claudio UPPERCUTS again and again and again! The ref counts, Claudio UPPERCUTS until Lee sits down, then even UPPERCUTS some more! The ref counts, Claudio lets off so as not to hand Lee this win. Lee sputters, crawls along the ropes, and tries to get up. Claudio brings Lee up to back suplex high and hard! Kneeling cover, ONE! Lee huffs ‘n’ puffs and fans rally, but Claudio drags Lee up to scoop and SLAM!
Lee writhes, Claudio stalks him to ropes, and fans rally up. Claudio gets the legs to YANK Lee up, but Lee lands on his feet! Lee slips under, rolls Claudio up, ONE!!

POP-UP UPPERCUT!! Cover, Claudio wins!
Winner: Claudio Castagnoli, by pinfall (denies Lee Johnson a title opportunity)
Claudio “shows respect” with the Code of Honor handshake, but no one has even slowed him down. Will anyone come close to taking this title from him?
The Iron Savages w/ Jacked Jameson VS Wren Jones & Kaleb Konley!
As Jacked Jameson says himself, Dirty Bulk Bronson & Beefcake Boulder are beefy ‘n’ bulky, jacked ‘n’ juicy, LAAAARGE~ and in charge! They’re sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss, will they make ROH the Savage Sanctuary?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the teams sort out, and Bronson starts against “The Midnight Son,” Kaleb Konley. The two circle, tie up, and Bronson shoves Konley down! Konley storms up to shove Bronson but Bronson shoves him back. Konley kicks, Bronson blocks and CLOBBERS him! And again! Bronson whips Konley, scoops and POWERSLAMS!

A fast and furious win for these behemoths, and Bronson’s ready to bust! But will they bust through to the next level and get some gold?
Backstage interview with Athena and Billie Starkz.
Lexi is with the Fallen Goddess and her minion, and we’ve seen them as a duo. Is Athena satisfied with Billie’s, uh, “minionship?” Athena asks Lexi where is her shirt. Y’know, the custom made, 17 hours of work, rhinestone encrusted friendship shirt?! Lexi takes off her coat to show she has it on. Good. At least someone appreciates Athena. Athena then brings Billie in by her collar and tells her that Athena has done everything for her! Athena’s taken Billie under her wing and given her more passes than her own mother! Athena doesn’t know where she’s gone wrong! Three times, Billie has left Athena hanging. THREE TIMES!! WHY!?
Has Athena not been good to Billie? Billie defends she did everything she was supposed to. Everything…? Oh, well, Billie didn’t know! That’s it! Athena says they’ll give Billie some home training. Some minion training. Athena drags Billie off, just what kind of training is that going to be? Will Billie survive it?
8 Man Tag: Action Andretti, Darius Martin & Best Friends VS The Workhorsemen & The Outrunners!
The Sight to See and the Air Wolf join forces with The Kentucky Gentleman and #JustTrent to take on JD Drake, Anthony Henry, Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum in a battle of friendship! Sorta. But then, which team of super friends comes out on top?
No Code of Honor here as Henry leads the attack! Henry knocks down Trent, JD and Truth mug Action, then Truth & Turbo go after Darius and Chuck! The bell rings, fans boo, but the brawling continues on! Turbo keeps Chuck in the ring, everyone else spills out, and fans rally up. Turbo then throws Chuck out, while the Workhorsemen whip Trent to ropes from the outside, and JD DECKS Trent on the rebound! Truth SMACKS Darius off the apron, Henry CALF KICKS Trent over the railing! Fans boo but the Outrunners soak up the heat. Henry slides in, JD drags Trent over the railing and sends him in.

Henry waistlocks but Darius switches. Henry ELBOWS free, only to run into a SHOTGUN GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Fans fire up but the Outrunners CLOBBER Action & Darius!
Action tumbles out, The Outrunners mug Darius, then they say they’re gonna go up! They double suplex Darius but Chuck makes the save! Darius hot tags Trent, and Chuck sends Outrunners into each other! Trent brings Turbo around, SOLE FOOD HALF ‘N’ HALF! Action & Darius return, fans fire up, and they GROUP HUG! You GOT to give the people- Oh, wait, Excalibur isn’t here. Then Action & Darius DOUBLE PLANCHA The Workhorsemen and Truth! Trent hauls Turbo up, Chuck climbs up, STRONG ZERO!! Cover, Best Friends and friends win!
Winners: Action Andretti, Darius Martin & Best Friends, by pinfall
A big win in the main event for these teams, and they’re ready to chase down those ROH World Tag Team Championships! But will it be Top Flight MKII or Best Friends that catch MJF & Adam Cole first?
My Thoughts:
A really good ROH here, though this was an hour and 43 minutes, a touch longer than they’ve been going lately. Good filler stuff like Skye & Willow getting another win together, SAP getting another win of their own, The Iron Savages getting on the winning side again, and Willie & The Infantry having a fun first win as a trio. Eddie & Shibata VS Blake & Gringo was also basically a filler match but also really good. I do like that Eddie & Shibata are sticking together, but it feels like this match was a test run for the All Out match with Claudio & Yuta (because duh, ROH is prerecorded). Still hoping that win at All Out then brings us around to Eddie VS Claudio, Winner Takes All.
Great stuff from the ROH Women’s World Championship story, with a really good promo to open the show and set up tonight’s title match. Really good title match, too, and I like that Athena is trying to force Billie into being a Heel like her and it not working. I would hope we get a vignette of this “minion training” for some fun and hilarious bits, but also this has to move Billie towards standing up to Athena and getting her own title match. Good match from Kiera VS Leila Grey, and good match from Frost VS Leyla Hirsch. Good story intertwining between all the prospects Maria Kanellis has her eyes on, and especially Leyla brushing Maria off.
Karter’s shirt is basically a sign he simps for Maria, and I really feel this is all going to blow up in his face. I don’t know if Griff takes Maria’s offer, but it would be funny if Maria passes on Karter for Griff. Nese of course keeps trying the Group Training but he at least gets a win tonight. Also good promo from Sterling to set up an open challenge, can’t wait to see who answers.
And really good 8 Man Tag main event, though also a bit of a filler in itself. Good win for the Faces, but there’s a lot of other stuff going on with the tag titles since MJF & Adam Cole have them. I would love if MJF & Cole actually showed up on ROH TV but HAH, like that happens with those two being such big names and ROH not being actually seen as a big deal. Because, duh, they put the tag titles on the two big names of AEW to add drama to their brochacho story.
My Score: 8.6/10

Zero Hour – Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Holo.grm VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!
“Smart” Mark stops Arkady Aura from even starting as he introduces his team of Josh Woods, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari. They have decided to let these Chicago losers take part in a winning team for once with a team building exercise. Even low IQ individuals can follow along.

Winner: Bryan Danielson, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
The Scapegoat fails to slay The American Dragon, but he was defiant ’til the end! Bryan’s reign and in-ring career both continue through another night, but we also know “IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN~!” WAIT! LUCHASAURUS IS HERE! HE HEADBUTTS BRYAN!! The irony of Luchasaurus and Jack Perry being in the ring together again. But we know what this is about, because here comes Christian Cage! Captain Charisma is also the Casino Gauntlet contract winner, and it looks like he’s cashing in! The fans boo, but wait! Jon Moxley stands in Christian’s way!? The Maniac is still BCC, and the fans are thunderous!
Bryan smiles, he knew he could count on his friend when he needed him. Oh, and then the rest of the BCC, and even Pac, are here! The fans cheer as The Patriarchy stands down now. Christian still has his guaranteed shot, he’ll just try again another night. The fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” and The BCC stands tall with Bryan. They hug it out and the fans cheer. Bryan picks up the world title, and The BCC raise his hands. But then Claudio UPPERCUTS Bryan! Bryan falls back, but he’s more shocked than anything! And then Moxley USES A BAG TO CHOKE BRYAN!? Pac keeps Yuta back?! Marina Shafir BLASTS the ref!!!
Moxley chokes Bryan out and Yuta is shouting for him to stop! Bryan rips at the plastic but he’s already so tired from fighting Jack! Pac isn’t letting Yuta go, even as Yuta is near to tears! The fans chant, “This is Murder!” Moxley lets Bryan go, having rendered him unconscious. Claudio tells Yuta to come along, but Yuta goes to Bryan’s side to get that bag off him. Medics get Bryan on the oxygen tank, but Moxley, Marina, Claudio & Pac leave. Bryan is carried out of the ring and to the back. What does this mean for The BCC? What does this mean for the AEW World Trios Champions when Yuta was not in on this betrayal?
Lights Out Steel Cage: Swerve Strickland VS Hangman Page!
Just when you think these two could not have stepped over the line after what they’d already done to each other, they have found new lows to which to stoop. And as such, AEW can no longer be held responsible for what takes place. Hangman set fire to Swerve’s childhood home, but will he now burn Swerve’s career to the ground? Or will Swerve’s House be avenged with Hangman’s blood, sweat and tears?

The Bang Bang Gang speaks.
Juice Robinson says here’s the thing about the AEW Trios Division: You need momentum on your side. You ain’t gonna get the job done with a win here and there. You need to string ’em together, snowball effect. W after W after W! Austin says chill. They all want W’s, but there is something serious to address. Austin still doesn’t have a nickname! They’ve got Fully Cocked Colten Gunn! Rock Hard Juice Robinson! And… What do they have for Austin? Colten thinks on it. But in steps The Cage of Agony. Bishop Kaun says he has an idea: Ass Boy Austin! Oh, clever, clever. No right, here’s one: Runner Up in the Top Prospect Tournament!
Wow, that was a long time ago, Kaun. Not relevant. The Machine says there has to be a better one. Kaun has it now: Nepo Baby. What? Like he’s got a famous mom or something? Kaun says okay, no, this is the best: Former AEW World Trios Champion. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s just everyone here right now. Colten says that’s tough talk coming from the team that lost the ROH World Six Man titles to them. Cage says hey, Colten, you might be a “body guy” compared to the rest of this roster, but stepping to The Machine, watch your tone. Shake weights don’t count, Cage. Cage says the only reason Bang Bang Gang won cuz they had six guys at the time!
Nowadays, the three Bang Bang Gang won’t beat The Cage of Agony. Then let’s find out! If you’re not down with that, they have two words for ya! GUNS- Wait! The Cage of Agony block the finger guns! They clap their hands and say, “Gates, OPEN!” Toa Liona roars, Juice roars back, sorta. Will the Collision Cowboys be able to bring down these three behemoths? Or will they be caught inside The Cage of Agony?
BREAKING NEWS!
Lexy Nair says for the Zero Hour, there will be a TRIOS TRIPLE THREAT! Standing by are two of the three teams, Top Flight Crew’s Darius, Dante & Action, and Shane Taylor Promotions with Beast Mortos. But then the third team can be heard coming as Roderick Strong shouts “BEEEEAST!” Roddy thought Mortos was Kingdom! Shane says Mortos followed the money, so can he help them? Matt Taven says Mortos hasn’t learned the value of a dollar! Mike Bennett says Shane can’t help them, but they can help Shane, because surprise, guess who the third team is? Yeah, it’s The Kingdom. And there’s a BIG winner’s purse put on this one.
Not that it’s going to more matching outfits, Top Flight. The Kingdom leaves, Action says check it. In the end, it doesn’t matter whose side The Beast is on, it won’t be the winning side. And Top Flight IS. They will fly home with that guac. CHACHING~! So buckle up. Lee Moriarty has Shane and Mortos calm down. Will #TAIGASTYLE have just the plan to come away with that big money cash prize?
Friday Night Fashion Fight: The MXM Collection VS The House of Black!

Will Ospreay speaks.
“I have been asked all day today, ‘How you feelin’, Will? You feelin’ alright?’ I dunno how you feel when you’ve taken a Poison-Rana on the stage and a brainbuster on some stage carts, mate, but yeah, hunky dury. I’m feeling great. I’m feeling great to cut these ties that bind myself to Pac. That’s history, right? See, Pac, everybody might know you as The Bastard right now, or maybe they know you as The Man Gravity Forgot. I know you as a UK backyard wrestler. You see, I could say words to you right now that’d perk your ears up that no one else knows. I could say stuff like Steve Farrow. I could say stuff like NAW.
“Because I’ve walked in your shoes. When I walked into that territory that you left, they’d say, ‘Man, you’re good. You ain’t Pac.’ They said the same thing on the UK independents. They said, ‘You’re good, but you’re not Pac.'” Ospreay made them all eat their words, and then he walked on the bridge Pac built, from England to Japan. Pac paved the way for him and Ospreay is thankful. But when Ospreay walked in there, they also said, “You’re good, but you’re not Pac.” Ospreay has been chasing Pac, and five years ago, Pac was Dragon Gate Dream Gate Champion, and Ospreay was NEVER Openweight Champion, and they didn’t get a decision. It was a 30 minute time limit draw.
You think Ospreay is satisfied with that? Nah, bruv! Ospreay’s still been chasing Pac! And here it is. Without even realizing it, Ospreay has lapped Pac. When Pac hit that rana, and Ospreay heard that crappy northern accent, “Don’t you underestimate me.” You thought Ospreay forgot? Nah, bruv. Ospreay could never forget Pac. Not all the work Pac’s done, not all the history they have. No one has forgotten about Pac. He just has been in this position so many times, we’ve lost faith. Wanna change it? Then there’s 24 hours left, bruv. These two may not have had their Wembley Moment together, but who walks away having won THE moment?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage as part of the go-home night to All Out, though they of course accommodated the bleed over from Collision. Good stuff, already talked about it all for the Collision article, and I also touched on Moxley & Marina jumping The Outrunners with that article, too. It was easy heat for Moxley & Marina beating up on The Outrunners, who just had their big moment, but Moxley touched on not celebrating mediocrity and being humble in victory. Darby Allin will probably respond by saying this is just Moxley being a bully. Anyway, good win for Aminata, and Deeb watching her sets up how they’ll be feuding soon enough.
Good promo of Bang Bang Gang and Cage of Agony, and they’ll have a very good match, probably naming the winners the #1 contenders to the World Trios Championships. More than I can say for Premier Athletes. What business do Nese, Daivari & Woods have watching Dustin & Sammy like they’re gonna get any of the ROH titles off them? Nese, Daivari & Woods lose to all sorts of established names, Dustin, Sammy & The Von Erichs will be no different. But still a really good, really fun Six Man Tag of Dustin, Sammy & Hologram beating Dark Order. Dark Order really is a trio that should’ve been given more, but oh well.
Good promo segment from Kingdom, STP and Top Flight, with another of these kayfabe’d money prize matches happening just because. Like, title opportunities not being won here? I know Roddy is waiting to go after the FTW Championship, but why not have him & The Kingdom try to move up from ROH titles to AEW titles in this match? Though, Top Flight might be right. They won that $3000 trios royale thing a year or so ago, they might win this one so that they keep making money and building their budget for more airline pilot gimmick gear.
And while I was expecting a fashion show themed Street Fight, I suppose judges giving scores was good enough of a gag for this match. The fashion themed Street Fight would’ve probably been better, though. But the House of Black would’ve won out anyway, so best to do it in a standard rules match. And then a great promo from Ospreay to properly frame this feud with Pac. I do wish they would’ve let this be the All In match but whatever, this will still be a show stealer of a match for All Out. But as I said for Collision, and even Dynamite on Wednesday, Pac has been standing tall so the math favors Ospreay retaining the title.
My Score: 8.7/10
