TJP may be a basketballer but that was quite the change-up there! DespeWato get struck out this time, but they’re still leading the league, can they hit it out of the park next time?
As for Catch 2/2, Akira gets the mic first and he tells DespeWato, “Happy Halloween, mofo. Take that trash backstage with you and GTFO of my ring, b*tch!” Wato took everything from Akira in the Best of the Super Juniors, even his soul! Akira gave his best to that tournament, but look at him now! Look at them now! Catch 2/2 defeated Desperado & Wato, the favorite boys, the heroes! But y’know what? Akira’s happy that they’re in NJPW, because they get to face each other many, many, many more times. Fans applaud that idea.
Then Akira addresses the crowd here in Toyama. “We, tonight, have a gift for you guys, okay? We have a gift for you.” Fans really like that idea! TJP says they have a present, yes. In the United States, Halloween is a very special holiday. His favorite, in fact. So today, they celebrate Halloween. Someone brings in candy, but why’re they hiding their face? Who is this? SUICIDE?! Oh, no, that’s just Callum Newman in his costume. Haha, good one. TJP says that for Halloween, here’s some candy! Newman and Akira start throwing pieces to the fans! Fans cheer, everyone wants candy! Even Great-O-Khan gets off commentary to join in.
TJP then gives the mic over to Khan, and he says he will deliver the message entrusted to him by TJP. In fact, it’s a message for Bullet Club War Dogs! Catch 2/2 hasn’t forgotten the “cowardly” way Connors & Drilla took those titles. So the champs won’t get candy treats, they’ll get the rotten tricks! And for that reason, Catch 2/2 will win the Super Junior Tag League! The fans cheer that! Khan then gives us the roll call. Callum Newman, Great-O-Khan, and tonight’s winners, Francesco Akira & TJP, “This is the power of the United Empire!” The former champs beat the dysfunctional dream team, will TJP & Akira get those trophies and then those belts?
Here are the NEW Super Junior Tag League Standings!
Master Wato & El Desperado: 5-2, 10 points
Sho & Yoshinobu Kanemaru: 5-2, 10 points
Intergalactic Jet Setters: 4-3, 8 points
Clark Connors & Dan Moloney: 4-3, 8 points
Bushi & Titan: 4-3, 8 points
Catch 2/2: 4-3, 8 points
Robbie Eagles & Kosei Fujita: 3-4, 6 points
Yoh & Musashi: 3-4, 6 points
Ryusuke Taguchi & The DKC: 2-5, 4 points [ELIMINATED]
Douki & Taka Michinoku: 1-6, 2 points [ELIMINATED]
My Thoughts:
Another great round, with only a few surprises in the results. Douki & Taka and now Taguchi & DKC are basically out of the running, they’ll look to be spoilers for those teams in those 3-4 and 4-3 spots. Bullet Club War Dogs VS House of Torture was great stuff, especially with the first part being Connors doing his best Yujiro impersonation. In fact, that was a great impersonation, he had the mannerisms down just right. And since fans love to hate House of Torture, War Dogs came off as the Faces by default. But I did not think the House would still win, those top three teams are the three losses Connors & Drilla have taken, put it on one of those three teams to win the tournament just so Connors & Drilla won’t owe that many title matches before WrestleKingdom.
And Catch 2/2 VS DespeWato was an awesome main event, and I figured the main event win streak had to end some time. Great win for Catch 2/2, and fun little closing segment with Callum wearing a Suicide mask and them giving out candy to the fans. Catch 2/2 already lost to Connors & Drilla in this tournament, so they only chance they have to get a title rematch now is if they win the tournament. Maybe we get Catch 2/2 VS DespeWato again in the finals, that’d be pretty epic stuff for an already stacked Power Struggle card.
My Score: 8.9/10

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!

The ref counts again, Briscoe stops at 4, and he whips corner to corner. Okada reverses but Briscoe goes up and out.

Moxley is frozen in place, and now The Opps & Ospreay get in the ring! The Maniac decides discretion is the better part of valor, and The Death Riders are in retreat. 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
