Backstage interview with Serpentico.
Dasha is with #SNAKEMAN and says he has a lot to prove in the Proving Ground match against Eddie Kingston. Serpentico says Eddie is a grand campeon in ROH, but Serpentico isn’t the same as he was two years ago when they first faced off. Dasha, what are the parameters of a Proving Ground match? Well, there’s a ten minute time limit- Exactly! All Serpentico has to do is last ten minutes and he earns his title shot. And Serpentico has made it his mission ever since ROH came back that he’d put it all on his back, rebuild it brick by brick and minute by minute. “Eddie, ten minutes, that’s all it takes. Your life changes, and so does mine. See you out there, bud.”
Dasha wishes Serpentico luck tonight, but will all Serpentico need is the will to survive? We find out, next!
ROH World Championship Proving Ground: Eddie Kingston VS Serpentico w/ Angelico!
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings and we’re on the clock. Fans rally, Eddie even shakes Angelico’s hand, and he circles with Serpentico. They tie up, are in a deadlock, so they let off. Serpentico CHOPS, dodges, then CHOPS again! Then dodges and CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Serpentico uses MACHINE GUN CHOPS! Fans fire up as Serpentico whips but Eddie reverses. Eddie runs in but into BOOTS! Serpentico then RANAS, and COMPLETE SHOTS! Cover, TWO! Eddie is still in this but Serpentico hurries to a corner. Fans rally up as Eddie rises, and Serpentico leaps, into a clinch! EXPLODER!
Fans fire up as Eddie rises, and he reels Serpentico in, SAIDO! Cover, TWO! Serpentico survives but Eddie puts on the STRETCH PLUM!! Serpentico taps, Eddie wins!
Winner: Eddie Kingston, by submission (denies Serpentico a title match)
SNAKEMAN talked about surviving ten minutes but that was only five! Angelico gets in to check on his teammate, but Eddie gets a mic. “Hey. Hey. Move, let me shake his hand. Dawg, so what I hurt him? It’s part of the deal!” Eddie and Angelico stare down, but Serpentico accepts the Code of Honor. Eddie asks if Angelico wants a shot, or if he’s going to stab Eddie in the back first. They’re supposed to be friends, aren’t they? Angelico asks if Eddie’s talking to him, and Eddie says yeah, who else would he be talking to? “Ya stupid mofo!” Eddie asks if he wants that shot, yes or no!
Angelico snatches the mic and says Eddie’s messed up now. Next time, we find out that when it comes to hold for hold wrestling, Angelico’s afraid of no man. Then Eddie wants Angelico to show it! Next time, Eddie VS Angelico for the ROH World Championship! They shake on it, but is the Mad King getting himself into trouble taking on the South African Stud?
The Gates of Agony w/ Prince Nana VS Fresco & Watson!
Toa Liona & Bishop Kaun have a battle with Blackpool Combat Club tomorrow on Rampage, so that means they need a warm-up. Will they Open the Gates here in Salt Lake City? Or will it be #LightsCameraFaction on ROH TV?
The Code of Honor is upheld, then the teams sort out. Liona starts against Fresco, but the whole team chants “CUUUT~! CUUUT~!” Fresco says “CUUUT~!” right to Liona, making a cutting hand motion. Liona grabs the hand to BITE it! The ref reprimands, Liona CLOBBERS Fresco, then roars at the team. Tag to Kaun, the Gates mug Fresco then double scoop to SLAM! Fresco scrambles to tag in Watson but the Gates TOSS him in! The Gates double whip, Watson holds ropes to then KICK Kaun and KNEE Liona! The Gates don’t budge, and they DOUBLE SPINEBUSTER! Watson flounders to a corner while fans fire up.
Kaun SLAPS Liona, whips him in, but Watson BOOTS Liona! Kaun runs in but only gets buckles! Fresco returns but Kaun dodges him and Fresco hits buckles. Kaun LARIATS Fresco down! Watson fires off, UPPERCUTS, and roars, only to run into Liona’s POUNCE! The rest of LCF check Watson as he flops out of the ring, but the Gates go out to flank them. The Gates TOSS Ice Williams & Joe Braxton in, and then block double kicks to double ATOMIC SLAM! Watson flounders up but Liona is right on him! They OPEN THE GATES! Cover, The Gates win!
Winners: The Gates of Agony, by pinfall
Liona & Kaun are dominant once again, but will they be able to do this to the BCC? Or will Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta make these giants bleed?
Backstage interview with Daga.
Dasha says tonight, he has a huge opportunity. This is his ROH debut, and he’s facing QT Marshall for the AAA Latin America Championship. Daga thanks Dasha and says he is super happy to show everyone what he is capable of. Tonight, as a former AAA Latin American Champion, he wants QT to understand that he is here and he is coming for that gold! Will El Jefe take back this title at the expense of God’s Gift to Wrestling?
ROH Women’s World Championship Proving Ground: Athena w/ Billie Starkz VS Mazzerati!
The Fallen Goddess is again leading by example in teaching her Minion, while still giving a Future Star of Wrestling an opportunity. But will nothing stop Athena’s ROH undefeated streak? Or will she be taken for a 10 minute ride by Mazzerati?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and we’re on the clock. Mazzerati gets around to roll Athena up, TWO! Mazzerati hooks legs, rolls and ghost pins, TWO! Mazzerati wrenches, wristlocks, but Athena slips around to wrench back. Athena wrenches again, wristlocks, but Mazzerati rolls, spins and slips under. Fans cheer and Mazzerati cheers herself, but Athena SHOTGUNS her down! “This is MY show!” Athena runs in at the ropes but Mazzerati drops down. Athena stops from tumbling out and she drags Mazzerati up for a GOURD BUSTER! Fans fire up as Athena looms over Mazzerati.
Athena drags Mazzerati up to CLUB her back down! Billie cheers the champ as Athena puts Mazzerati in ropes. Athena CLUBS away but Mazzerati shoves Athena down! Mazzerati leaps from the apron, but the rana is blocked! Athena POWERBOMBS Mazzerati to the floor! The fans lose their minds and Billie is stunned! Athena drags Mazzerati up to SLING into the railing! Athena taunts Mazzerati to get up, then puts her in the ring. Mazzerati flounders, Athena stalks her, and Athena kicks her down. Athena drags Mazzerati up to SLAM her, then DOUBLE KNEE DROP! Athena then rains down fists!
Athena drags Mazzerati into the motorcycle stretch, her knee digging into Mazzerati’s back. Fans rally, Mazzerati reaches out, but Athena turns her from ropes. Mazzerati fights up, throws elbows, but Athena KNEES low! Athena whips Mazzerati to ropes, but Mazzerati holds ropes to then HEEL KICK! Athena wobbles, Mazzerati tilt-o-whirls and RANAS, but Athena handsprings through! Athena DECKS Mazzerati!! Cover, TWO!! Mazzerati survives but Athena just scowls at her. Athena tells the ref to stop telling her what to do, then she scoops Mazzerati to put her in the Tree of Woe. For some KICKS to the back!
Athena lets off to cheer herself as Mazzerati flops out of the Tree. Athena then runs in, but Mazzerati dodges! Mazzerati returns to KNEE, roll, and SPLASH! Mazzerati snapmares Athena, fires off forearms, then an ELBOW! Mazzerati’s made it five minutes, she springboards, but into a BOOT! Athena clamps on a HEAD ‘N’ ARM TRIANGLE, then rolls it into a top wristlock triangle combo!! Mazzerati taps, Athena wins!
Winner: Athena, by submission (denies Mazzerati a title match)
The ref says stop, and Athena says okay, but then she goes into a CROSSFACE! The ref reprimands, Athena lets go, and she parades around with the belt, but Billie drags Mazzerati out! Billie gets Mazzerati under the ring to hide her from Athena! Athena asks where Mazzerati went and Billie says she ran away. Who knows where to! Athena says Billie better not be lying. Billie finds a way to spare another victim, but will Athena only do worse to the next opponent to make up for it?
Backstage interview with Lee Johnson.
Lexi Nair is with Big Shotty and says he had a competitive showing against Darius Martin, but came up short. What’s next for him? But before Johnson can say anything, in steps Shane Taylor Promotions. Shane Taylor says, “Competitive, close, but you lost. Aren’t you tired of hearing that?” Moriarty says they don’t have this problem. Six on two is like three on one, but you saw how easy it was for them to win last week’s Fatal 4, right? So why doesn’t Johnson get with the baddest fight team in ROH, and show your true potential just like Moriarty did. Or Johnson can keep losing and hold onto these moral victories. It’s up to him.
Shane & Moriarty leave, but what will Big Shotty’s decision be?
AAA Latin American Championship Match: QT Marshall VS Daga!
Though he’s been away from AEW and QTV, God’s Gift to Wrestling has made a name for himself in Mexico. But now, returning to the USA with this belt, will QT still be a star? Or will El Jefe be El Campeon once again?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the face of Latin America!
But wait, QT gets the mic. He has the music cut, and he says, “Don’t listen to these idiots. QT Marshall, Latin American Champ, good to meet you. Mucho gusto.” Daga is amused, and QT says “Daga” is dagger. But here’s what it doesn’t mean: champion. And it sure doesn’t mean “the greatest luchador of all time.” And QT knows he isn’t the best at Spanish, but when he goes to AAA shows in arenas all over Mexico, they chant “CULERO! CULERO!” Yeah, that’s good, right? He just doesn’t know what it means, so maybe Daga can help him. Please translate so he knows what his fans are trying to tell him.
Daga takes the mic and fans chant it now, “CULERO!” Well, see, what everyone is saying, and Daga agrees with it, QT is an a-hole. Then Daga ROCKS QT with a right! The bell rings and the match is on! Daga fires off on QT, then whips him to ropes. QT stops to KICK Daga, then runs in, but Daga spins him and ROLLING LARIATS! Fans fire up as QT sits up in a daze. Daga drags QT up, underhooks, and Canadian Racks but QT slips free! QT goes to a corner, Daga runs in but is put on the apron. Daga counter punches then GAMANGIRIS! Daga slingshots but QT DECKS him! Fans chant “CULERO! CULERO!” but QT scowls.
QT goes out to fetch Daga, and SMACKS him off railing! Fans boo, the ring count climbs, but QT CHOPS Daga against railing! QT puts Daga in, then slingshots to SENTON! QT does a pretty bad Latino Heat and that just gets fans to boo more. Cover, TWO! QT says to count “Uno Dos Tres!” but the ref says it was just dos. The fans keep chanting at QT as he drags Daga up. But Daga fires off hands! Daga runs, but into a DROPKICK! QT goes up a corner to smile and soak up all the heat. QT goes back for Daga, says he’s nothing but a loser. QT pie faces, says the fans don’t care about Daga, they only care about QT.
But Daga fires up and fans rally behind him. QT keeps pie facing Daga, so Daga ROCKS QT! And again! And again! Daga whips, QT reverses but Daga CLOBBERS him! And again! Daga keeps going, he shoots around, full nelson and pop-up to a GERMAN SUPLEX! Fans fire up as Daga runs in to SPLASH QT! Then another whip for a DROPKICK! QT wobbles into the suplex, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! QT survives but fans rally harder for Daga. QT crawls away but Daga storms over. Daga drags QT up but QT HOTSHOTS Daga! QT springboards, but Daga dropkicks the legs! QT is stuck, Daga runs to DRAPING BACKSTABBER! Cover, TWO!!
QT survives the dagger to the back, and now Daga argues tres but it was dos! Fans fire up for Daga as he goes to the corner but QT anchors the legs. Daga drags QT up to CLUB him, but QT blocks the suplex! They fight, QT gets Daga up but Daga slips out. QT ELBOWS Daga, goes up and TORNADO DDTS!! Cover, feet on the ropes, TWO!!! Then the ref sees the feet! QT says no, that was tres! The ref says no, dos, and that this is QT’s warning. QT frowns, brings Daga up, and says this is the end! But Daga turns suplex to cradle! TWO!! QT escapes, swings, but Daga gets around to backslide! TWO!!! QT gets Daga, rolls him, but Daga kicks and sweeps to SUPERKICK!
Fans fire up with Daga and he gut wrenches! Deadlift to the DOCTOR BOMB!! Cover, TWO!!! QT survives and fans can’t believe it! But the fans rally for Daga as hard as they can as he goes to the corner. Daga climbs, QT stands, and Daga CROSS- DIAMOND CUTTER!! QT gets Daga, then suplexes for the DIRT SHEET DRIVER!! QT grins and brings Daga around, La Casita Magistrol! QT wins!
Winner: QT Marshall, by pinfall (still AAA Latin American Champion)
That last wasn’t even needed, but it was a message sent to lucha legend, Negro Casas! Negro Casas is now AAA, will he have something to say about QT’s reign?
Dalton Castle speaks.
“It demands so much of me. It says, ‘Give me more,’ and I give and I give until I give so much that I’m empty inside. But then I dig deeper and I give ’em more! I give the people exactly what they want because they believe in me. They believe. Nobody else here believes. I’m not on the posters, I’m not on the trucks, I don’t have any new merchandise! But the people, you believe in me. You chant my name when I walk out there, which is why I dig deep and I give you exactly what you demand, and that is a television program that you can sink your teeth into.” Castle finally runs out of breath, but will he never run out of fuel?
The Infantry VS Shane Taylor Promotions!
Two teams hungry for that top spot, hungry for the ROH World Tag Team Championships and everything after that, but still with a way’s to go now collide here in Salt Lake City! Will Captain Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo march up the ranks? Or will #TAIGASTYLE & Big Bad Shaney T run things?

Backstage interview with Billie Starkz.
Lexi is excited for her “Minion In Training Bestie” having a match tonight, and Billie is, too. But… Billie wants to talk about their previous training session. Lexi said Billie sucks?! Lexi defends that she just felt Billie could work on some things. Mercedes Martinez & Diamante walk in and they both confirm, Lexi said Billie sucks. Her cardio was horrible, that she’s not a good wrestler, that Lexi is the bestie, and that Billie isn’t even a real minion. Billie IS a real minion! So she’s proud of being called that? How long as she even been hanging with Athena? Because any second now, she’s gonna turn on you.
Mercedes says Athena is no good, because she’s known her for a long time. Athena’s turned her back on Mercedes lots of times. Billie says that’s her family Mercedes is talking about! Oh, really? Well who here has the “bestie” shirt? Lexi says they’re making one for her. Diamante then snatches Billie’s fanny pack! They steal the fanny pack! Lexi says to not let them get in her head, and good luck tonight. Billie thanks Lexi, and grumbles at the bullies. Will Billie prove that even a minion can be too much for an OG Badass?
Angelico VS Martin Casaus!
This match-up may look familiar from a certain underground wrestling promotion, but no, this is still ROH. That said, will the South African Stud be rolling into his title match with The Mad King? Or will this crazy moth get in the way?
The Code of Honor is upheld and the fans rally for Marty. Seems Salt Lake likes moths. Marty does Angelico’s dance, but Angelico shows him how to really Bernie Lean.

The bullies break the ice queen, these two might be the coldest wrestlers in ROH. But will Mercedes get the AEW Women’s World Championship back?
Mark Sterling and Josh Woods speak.
Smart Mark says he wanted to talk with The Technical Best in front of cameras because he’s excited. Woods has been running through opponents week after week, he’s on a roll. Next week, we have a great list of opponents, nothing’s been finalized yet but it’s looking good. So what Mark thought they’d do is raise it up a notch, and now Woods has a coach! This man has coached champions and the best in the business. It’s Pat Buck! Mark is sure this will be great stuff. Pat walks in, thanks Mark for this chance, and says it’ll be great working with them. Woods asks why he needs a coach. He’s forgotten more things than this man knows!
Woods is a national champion! A four-time All American! What is Pat gonna teach him? That’s the problem. Woods thinks he knows everything. If he did, he’d be champion already. Pat is insulted, he no longer wants to be Woods’ coach. So instead, Woods is going to face Pat! In Pure Rules! Woods wrestlers great but Pat’s a great wrestler. See you next week. Woods says that’s cute. Is this really what Woods needs, Mark? Mark’s plan fell apart faster than a house of cards, will Pat make Woods fold?
Leyla Hirsh VS Willow Nightingale!
After a great showing against Athena last week that resulted in her first loss in ROH, Leyla might be wondering if she’s still LEGIT. Will she redeem herself here tonight? Or will the Babe with the Power have too much power for even Leyla to bring down?
The Code of Honor is upheld, though reluctantly by Leyla. The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up and Leyla drop toeholds, but Willow stays up. Willow gets away and fans cheer as the two reset. They go again, Leyla waistlocks but Willow switches. Leyla switches, ankle picks then waistlocks but Willow fights around. Leyla wrenches an arm, wristlocks, but Willow scoops to SLAM! Fans fire up and Willow runs Leyla over! Willow runs, Leyla drops but Willow rolls. Things speed up and Willow hip tosses Leyla!

And that’s Leyla’s second lose in ROH! So she CLOBBERS Willow! Leyla’s a LEGIT sore loser! She throws down shots on Willow, stomps her, but here comes Skye Blue! Skye is Willow’s friend, she won’t let this bullying happen! But then Leyla just TACKLES Skye! But Skye turns it around to rain down furious fists! Fans fire up as Skye then SUPERKICKS Leyla! Leyla bails out, will she have to find some back-up to get back up? Will that back-up be Maria Kanellis?
Gringo Loco VS Action Andretti!
The Crazy White Boy and the Sight to See are certainly among the top young fliers today, but this could truly be a fast and furious match-up. Who flies highest here in Salt Lake?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and fans rally up. Action and Gringo tie up, Gringo wrenches and wristlocks, but Action spins and flips and wrenches back.

Gringo is down, Action goes up, SPLIT LEG MOONSAULT! Cover, Action wins!!
Winner: Action Andretti, by pinfall
That finishing sequence was definitely a sight to see! And best of all, Action and Gringo keep the Code of Honor. Action is flying at top speed, will he soon find himself heading for gold?
Backstage interview with Ethan Page.
Dasha is with All Ego and says he’s had a lot of success in ROH as of late. But now he faces ROH icon, Christopher Daniels. Ethan says he is very happy. Last week, he spoke to everyone and “demanded” competition. That is now given to him in the former ROH World Champion, the fallen Angel, Christopher Daniels. Ethan respects Daniels, he is one of the greatest to ever step foot in the ring. Ethan will give Daniels every ounce of respect he has earned by shaking his hand both before and after their match.
But last week, Ethan also told the locker room to pay close attention to Ethan, especially ROH World Champion, Eddie Kingston. If Eddie’s planning on watching the match tonight, Ethan plans on ending it with his hand raised and finally getting five wins in a row. Ethan will give Daniels the utmost respect, but will be damned if he loses. So good luck, and may the best man win.
Billie Starkz w/ Athena VS Rachelle Riveter!
The Minion is again having Coach Athena all on her case with the whistle and the orders, but Billie is still her upbeat and energetic self. Will Billie be able to use the best of both worlds to get this win? Or will the Fallen Goddess have to step in again?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally, the two tie up, and they go around. Billie puts Rachelle in the corner, lets off as the ref counts, and cheers her self a la Athena. Fans cheer but Rachelle BOOTS Billie down! Rachelle runs in, Billie goes up and over and ELBOWS, KNEES and LARIATS! Fans fire up as Billie flexes again. Athena says that’s good but stay on Rachelle. Billie reels Rachelle in but Rachelle fights out. Billie blocks the kick to KNEE! And then the underhooks, lift, and STAR 10!! CROSSFACE! Rachelle taps, Billie wins!
Winner: Billie Starkz, by submission
Athena is proud as her Minion is learning to do it her way! She still does it all better, but it’s a start. Billie wants a high five but only gets blows of the whistle. Wait, Mercedes & Diamante attack at the ramp! They beat down Billie, and then Diamante hits a DDT to the stage!! Mercedes says, “This is your friend?! This is your trainer?!” Diamante DECKS Billie! Fans boo as these bullies leave the champion and her sidekick down and out! Is it only a matter of time before Mercedes comes for that Women’s World title?
Kip Sabian w/ Penelope Ford VS Anthony Henry w/ JD Drake!
This episode just got Superbad! Kip is back after five years away, will he start a journey towards the top of ROH? Or will the Saint of Augusta prove he can even put in the work as a singles guy?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the two circle. Henry stays low, using his leg guard, but Kip stays away. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder. Kip kicks an arm, wrangles Henry with the other and has a top wristlock cover, TWO! So Kip isolates the arm to STOMP it! But Henry comes back to tie up, and then monkey flips! Henry rolls back, Kip jumps up to monkey flip! Double cover, ONE as each man gets an arm up! Another double cover, ONE as they get the other arms up! Double cover, DOUBLE BRIDGE! Fans fire up as Kip and Henry talk trash while upside-down!
The two stand, fight for control, and Henry pops Kip down into an ARMBAR! Kip scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! Penelope cheers, as do the fans, and Henry lets off slowly. Kip stays by ropes, Henry rushes in, but Kip puts him on the apron. Kip ROCKS Henry, then goes out to PENALTY KICK from the apron! Fans fire up for the ARABIAN PRESS but JD takes the hit! Kip hurries to ROCK Henry, whip, but Henry reverses! Kip hits railing hard! Fans fire up and Henry runs around the way, full lap before the SHOTGUN BOOT! Fans fire up and Henry puts Kip in the ring. Henry goes up top, to DOUBLE-
NO, Kip moves, and he SHOTGUNS Henry down! Fans fire up again and Kip runs corner to corner to CANNONBALL! Direct hit and fans fire up! Cover, TWO! Henry hangs tough but Kip drags him up. Kip cravats for a neck wrench and he snapmares to then step over an arm. Kip pulls the arm, bends the fingers and twists the wrist, but Henry shifts around. Henry kicks at legs but Kip kicks low. Kip snapmares to KICK Henry in the back! JD says that’s the biggest mistake Kip could make, and Henry CHOPS back! And CHOPS! Kip CHOPS, Henry CHOPS, repeat! Kip shoves, victory rolls, STOMP 182! Cover, TWO!
Penelope argues the count but it was a fair one. Kip frowns and he brings Henry up. Kip clamps onto an arm again, then hooks Henry’s head with a leg, not quite Koji Klutch. Henry fights around, reaches out, and ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Kip lets go at 4, and fans rally up. Penelope says Kip’s got this but Henry fires off fast hands! Henry whips, Kip reveres but Henry ducks ‘n’ dodges and GAMANGIRIS! Henry hurries to waistlock, but Kip grabs a rope! Henry KICKS that arm, then dropkicks the legs out! PENALTY KICK! Fans fire up with Henry and he drags Kip back up. Fisherman and suplex, but Kip slips free!
Kip half nelsons, Henry spins around to try again, AOI SHOUDO!! Cover, TWO!! Kip survives, JD and Henry each fire up, and Henry goes up the corner! Penelope distracts! Fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Henry hops down. Henry runs in, Kip trips him into buckles! Kip drags Henry into the torture rack, for DEATHLY HOLLOWS!! Cover, Kip wins!
Winner: Kip Sabian, by pinfall
A huge win for Superbad, and a hard fought one. How much harder will Kip have to fight if he wants to finally be a champion?
Backstage interview with Griff Garrison.
Dasha is with the Ivy League MVP and says he’s had some “unfortunate” losses, and a rough couple of weeks. How is he planning on moving forward? Griff admits, it has been rough. He and Cole Karter aren’t on the same page, and if you saw Dynamite against Wardlow, well… Maybe he’s just not ready for singles competition yet. Maria and Karter walk in and they both saw that match with Wardlow. Karter, who is now wearing a “Hot Moms <3 Professional Wrestlers” shirt, says Griff should’ve just followed their lead. Griff says yeah, he can accept that, because he hasn’t been doing his best.
But uh, Karter was the one who lost the match. He was too busy looking at the hot mom over here. Maria appreciates the compliment, and to be honest, Griff should be worried. They both need to get on the same page, Griff & Karter both need to work together. She sees so much potential here, and they both have the same goal: winning championships. Isn’t that why we’re here? But she doesn’t have time for this, and they need to figure this out. Maria leaves and Karter tells Griff, “What do you not get, man?” Everywhere Maria has been, she has led people to success. They can do that! Maria is the greatest manager of all time!
Plus, on top of all that… Karter looks around before saying, “She is the hottest mom ever, and we get to look at her every-” Griff stops him there. Karter’s made that point abundantly clear. But Maria is right: Griff & Karter may not be alike, but they both want to be ROH World Tag Team Champions. And they can do that. So if Karter has Griff’s back, Griff has Karter’s. They shake and then head out, will they finally be top team Maria’s been looking for?
Ethan Page VS Christopher Daniels!
All Ego said his piece earlier on, and now the Fallen Angel will respond with actions! Will Ethan make it to 5-0 in ROH and get Eddie Kingston’s attention? Or will the former ROH World Champion turn that 5-15 record around?
The Code of Honor is upheld, as Ethan promised, and the bell rings. The two circle as the fans rally up. They tie up, Ethan puts Daniels in a corner, but lets off as the ref counts. Ethan shows that sportsmanship and respect he mentioned, and Daniels nods. The two go again, tie up, and Ethan headlocks. Daniels fights the hold but Ethan clamps it on tighter. Daniels keeps fighting, but Ethan holds on. Daniels chinbars, powers up, but can’t power out as Ethan holds on even tighter. Fans rally, Daniels brings Ethan to a knee and pops out the back to get a headlock of his own. Fans rally as Daniels grinds and grinds and grinds with his biceps.
But then Ethan powers up! Daniels fights to stay grounded, but Ethan powers out. Things speed up and Ethan CLOBBERS Daniels! Fans fire up and Ethan stalks Daniels to ropes. Ethan scoops to TOSS! Ethan drags Daniels up, suplexes high and lands hard! Daniels writhes and fans fire up while Ethan paces around. Ethan drags Daniels up, wrenches, and whips, but Daniels reverses. Ethan KICKS Daniels, runs, but Daniels ducks to RAM into Ethan! Daniels whips and RAMS Ethan again! Fans rally while Ethan sputters, and Daniels snapmares to then drop a BIG elbow! And another! And then he steps on Ethan!
Daniels mocks Ethan’s cheeky smile, then he brings Ethan up. Daniels puts Ethan in a corner, whips corner to corner hard, and Ethan hits buckles chest first! Daniels then runs in to KNEE Ethan down! Cover, TWO! Daniels is frustrated but he may’ve been a bit lax. Daniels clamps on a rear bearhug and he squeezes tight! Fans rally and Ethan endures. Daniels leans on Ethan, fans rally up, and Ethan throws body shots and elbows! Ethan is free and he ROCKS Daniels with a right! And another! Ethan whips, but Daniels catches Ethan to a COBRA TWIST! Daniels shouts “WRESTLING~!” and fans cheer.
Ethan throws elbows into Daniels’ leg, is free and he hip tosses Daniels away! Daniels is in the corner, Ethan runs in but only gets buckles again! Roll up, TWO! STO! Fans fire up as Daniels snarls and rises again. Daniels vows to end this, and he points to a corner! Fans fire up as Daniels brings Ethan up, but Ethan fights the urenage. So Daniels arm-drags, only for Ethan to come back with a BOOT! Fans fire up again as Ethan stands back up. Daniels drags himself up and Ethan throws hands! Haymaker after haymaker, then a whip. Daniels reverses but Ethan LEAPING LARIATS! And then a forearm in the corner!
Ethan keeps moving, Daniels dodges but Ethan scoops to a POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Fans rally up, Ethan says he’s gonna end it, and he drags Daniels up. Daniels fights, trips, and jackknife bridges, TWO! Ethan sunset flips, TWO! Daniels cradles, TWO! Ethan ghost pins, TWO! Both men stand, Ethan run sin but Daniels dumps him out! Daniels says he’s smarter than that, but Ethan RAMS into him! And step in, but Daniels catches Ethan toa backslide! TWO, but Daniels knees low! Daniels underhooks but Ethan back drops free! Ethan runs in to SPLASH at the corner! And then Canadian Rack, EGO’S EDGE!! Cover, Ethan wins!
Winner: Ethan Page, by pinfall
And that’s five! But then Mark Sterling has to ruin the celebration! Sterling has Tony Nese with him as he tells Ethan that he’s impressed. Ethan’s strung together a nice little win streak here in ROH, looks pretty good, so here’s Mark’s idea. Ethan is the perfect person to join the Premier Athlete Brand. It will be difficult, and Ethan cannot quit like he has everything else, from his vlog, to his various tag team partners, to his part in American Top Team. But if Ethan sticks with them, they can take him to the next level.
Ethan gets a mic to say hold on. What they’re offering is to get ahead? Guaranteed? Yes! Ethan asks Salt Lake what they’d think and they say “NO!” Wait, hold on, do they think he should join that Premier Athlete Brand? “NOOO~!” Well, alright. Ethan hasn’t been a man of the people very long, but he understands them. That is a hard FREAKIN’ NO, ya d-bags! Nese tells Ethan no, his answer is irrelevant! Because what makes Mark think Nese wants to partner with “this soft, disgusting body,” huh? What makes Mark think Ethan deserves to stand next to Nese? Hell, Ethan doesn’t deserve to stand in that ring!
Ethan should be in the crowd with the fat disgusting trash of Salt Lake City! In fact, Ethan should be out there every single week participating in Nese’s Group Training! Ohhh~ the offer’s changed! They’ve upped the ante. Now Ethan doesn’t have a manager, he has a personal trainer! And hold on, to address something real quick, sitting in this crowd with these fans sounds like a better way to spend his time than talking to a-holes like Nese! Fans cheer that! But listen, Ethan and the fans know that personal training costs a lot of money. So let’s have a “one on one session” in this ring!
And since Nese is just a meathead, Ethan will spell it out for him so he can understand 1+1=2. Ethan VS Nese, in a match, on ROH TV next week! Nese says deal! Sterling’s second idea blows up in his face, will the All Ego streak continue to six? But then Ethan has everyone hold on. He may be new to ROH, but he knows this tradition goes back to before he ever laced up a pair of boots. They shake hands for the Code of Honor, but Ethan says no, he still has the mic, he dictates how this goes. Give it up for one of the greatest to ever do it, Christopher FREAKIN’ Daniels! The fans cheer Christopher Daniels and Ethan raises Daniels’ hand.
Darius Martin VS Scorpio Sky!
Air Wolf is in singles action again, ready to keep pace with his teammate, Action Andretti. But The Closer has just gotten some momentum going and he isn’t going to let it stop now! These two are high fliers of the highest caliber, but who will get highest of all in the main event?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings and fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, go around, and Darius wrenches an arm to a wristlock. Scorpio rolls, rolls and spins to then wrangle Darius with a top wristlock. Darius rolls back, slips around, waistlocks, headlocks and hits the takeover. Scorpio headscissors but Darius kips free. Roles reverse as Scorpio hits a headlock takeover, but then he denies the headscissors. Darius rolls to a cover, TWO! Darius pops out of the headlock to hook Scorpio and turn him over, lateral press, ONE! Scorpio runs in but escapes a takedown, only for Darius to arm-drag!
Fans cheer the exchange, and Scorpio fights up. Scorpio whips Darius away, hurdles, then drops to trip and has a toehold! Darius fights free but Scorpio KICKS Darius down! Scorpio scrapes his soles off Darius’ face, and fans are a bit torn. Scorpio storms up on Darius, ROCKS him in the corner with forearms and knees, then he hits a BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Darius shakes out his arms and the fans rally up. Scorpio drags Darius up, scoops him, and storms around for a BACKBREAKER! Darius writhes and Scorpio glares at him. Fans want more of that but Scorpio stomps Darius to the corner.
Scorpio digs a knee in, lets off as the ref counts, and he then drags Darius up. Scorpio RAMS Darius into buckles, then snapmares to a neck wrench. Darius endures, fights up, and he throws elbows and body shots! But Scorpio kick slow, runs, and KNEE LIFTS! But Darius comes back to DROPKICK! Both men are down and fans rally up. Scorpio hobbles up but Darius fires off haymaker after haymaker! Darius whips, Scorpio reverses, but leaps into an atomic drop! Darius runs to HOTSHOT BULLDOG, then GAMANGIRI! Then step in COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, TWO! Scorpio hangs tough but Darius drags him up.
Darius suplexes but Scorpio blocks. Scorpio fights that, waistlocks, but Darius switches. Scorpio elbows free, runs, but Darius dodges to SNAP GERMAN! Darius runs, but into a SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO!! Darius survives but Scorpio doesn’t lose focus. Scorpio drags Darius up, whips him to a corner, but Darius reverses. Darius runs in but Scorpio BOOTS! Scorpio fireman’s carries but Darius holds ropes. Scorpoi upts Darius on the apron but Darius GAMANGIRIS! Scorpio is down, Darius goes up, FROG SPLASH onto knees! Fireman’s carry and T K O!! Cover, Scorpio wins!
Winner: Scorpio Sky, by pinfall
A strong match to finish the night, and leave it to The Closer to come out on top! Scorpio shows Darius respect with the Code of Honor, will both men look to Reach for the Sky?
My Thoughts:
Another good ROH, but it was another two hours when it didn’t have to be, and I’m starting to think I need to treat ROH like I do most NJPW events: only covering title matches and the most obvious of important story matches. Especially when ROH itself doesn’t know how to organize their own card. No offense to Scorpio and Darius, but while their match was good, it wasn’t main event material. For me, it should’ve been the match right before it where Ethan and Daniels give a great match, and it has Ethan and Nese set up a match for next week while also Ethan praising Daniels. I would’ve at least swapped those two.
Kip VS Henry was outta nowhere and filler, as was Gringo VS Henry, but still good stuff. Mercedes beating Lady Frost was also kinda filler, but given the story building between her, Diamante, Billie and Athena, the match should’ve happened before the promo that then foreshadowed the Heels attacking Athena & Billie after Billie’s match. At least Billie won her match on her own this week. And I liked that Billie confronted Lexi on what she said during the “training.” At the same time, this implies that Athena might watch back this episode and be upset Billie saved Mazzerati from Athena’s wrath.
Honestly, all the important, story based matches were the first half. Good Proving Ground matches, and I was a little disappointed Serpentico didn’t get to the time limit. But I like that they set up Angelico VS Eddie for the title next week. And I really like that we got Lucha Underground in ROH with Angelico VS Marty. Eddie will of course retain against Angelico but it will be a great match that I of course will cover regardless of the rest of the show. Good win for Shane Taylor Promotions, good win for Gates of Agony, and great stuff for the AAA Latin American Championship. I kinda wish QT VS Daga was saved for something on TV but oh well.
My Score: 8.6/10

IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship: Yota Tsuji VS Andrade El Idolo!
What was meant to be former friends settling a grudge is now a second chance for a “Real Latino Man.” Gabe Kidd is hurt, so Andrade is back again, but will he redeem himself from the New Beginning in USA? Or will Gene Blast still be golden?

Winner: Andrade El Idolo, by pinfall (NEW IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion)
An instant classic and an absolute shocker at the same time as Andrade has his revenge! Yota went from two belts to none, what will his journey of redemption look like?
As for Andrade, Tanahashi presents him with the belt, and Andrade holds it high. This is not only a win for the United Empire, but a win for AEW and the Don Callis Family. Andrade grabs a mic to say, “I did it.” The fans applaud, and Andrade continues by saying, “I wanna say thank you. Yota Tsuji is good, he’s an amazing talent, but Andrade El Idolo was better tonight.” The fans applaud again, and Andrade says he knows many know he is an AEW talent, but this title is NJPW’s. So Andrade will now officially be working in both companies, both companies are in his blood. And he wants to thank everyone here in Japan for watching.
Andrade says he now has a question, and it is a simple one: Who wants to challenge him? The fans applaud, and Andrade drops the mic. Andrade holds up the belt again, but wait! Stepping out in a nice suit is Drilla Moloney. But then Shota Umino is also here, still in ring gear. Andrade likes where this is going as the two challengers talk on stage. 44 Caliber and Roughneck both go to the ring, and Andrade asks if they heard what he said. So Drilla wants this title? And Shota wants it, too? Then he has an idea.
If they want this title, HIS title, why not this just be a Triple Threat for the Global Heavyweight Championship? Just say where, when, and what time. Then The RRRREAL~ Latino Man will be there! The fans cheer as Andrade is already raising the bar on this belt! Andrade says just call and he’ll be there. Andrade tells the fans, “Arigato!” The fans cheer, but will Andrade regret stacking the odds for his first defense? When and where will we see this shootout happen?
My Thoughts:
A great start to the Wrestling Dontaku double event, and quite the surprising result for the main event. While House of Torture shenanigans were 1000% expected for Narita VS Oleg, that was still a great match. But at the same time, as great as Oleg is, he was not going to become a TRIPLE champion between the NJPW Strong and both NEVER Openweight titles. Aaron Wolf stepping up to Ren is good stuff, but seriously, can Tanahashi use his authority to put ringside bans up? It’s actually bad kayfabe logic from management to not see that as an option.
But as I was saying, amazing main event, and Yota losing is pretty wild. I suppose even if this was Yota Tsuji VS Gabe Kidd, Gabe winning would’ve worked in story, too, positioning this title as a crossover title between NJPW and AEW. Yota’s story of making a comeback will be an intriguing one. Perhaps he uses the G1 Climax as his road back. As for Andrade being up for the Triple Threat with Shota and Drilla, that’s pretty cool, too. I don’t see Andrade losing his first defense, but a Triple Threat is a classic way to keep all parts strong no matter the result.
My Score: 8.9/10

Mason shouts, “OW!” Mason tags Johnny and the fans cheer. Johnny and Kyle circle, Johnny avoids a kick and goes for the leg. Johnny cartwheels but Kyle KICKS him in the chest! Kyle puts Johnny in a corner, climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count along to TEN, then Roddy tags in.
Roddy climbs up and he rains down fists! The fans count along to TEN, then Roddy tags Cassidy. Cassidy climbs up, the fans cheer, but MXM YANK Kyle & Roddy down! Then Johnny sweeps the legs! No mercy in this dojo! Johnny fires hands on Cassidy while MXM mugs Kyle & Roddy! The ref reprimands, but Johnny TOSSES Cassidy out! Then MXM TV set up, and Johnny FLIES to wipe out Roddy & Kyle! The fans are torn, but MXM build speed, to then POSE! The fans cheer, especially as Cassidy rolls in and joins them!

Then he guzels to SUPER CHOKE SLAM Mansoor onto Mason! Johnny is back, but Kyle KNEES! Then AX ‘N’ SMASH! Cassidy aims, but he has them bring Johnny closer. LAZY ELBOW! Cover, Conglomeration wins!
Winners: The Conglomeration, by pinfall
Cassidy, Kyle & Roddy proved they’re more than #TVReady, they’re fight ready! But will Cassidy earn himself and the team a shot at the tag titles? Or will Dax earn FTR & Ciampa a shot at the trios titles? Wait, speaking of, Tommaso Ciampa is here! The Psycho Killer stares The Conglomeration down, then grins. He says it is just a matter of time, but will he and FTR really become the Top Guys in both tag and trios divisions?
AEW TBS Championship: Willow Nightingale VS Anna Jay!
Hikaru Shida, Queen Aminata, and Kamille all tried and failed to take this title from the Babe with the Power, giving rise to the new nickname, “The Comeback Killer.” But will that still be true against The Queen Slayer? Or will Anna truly become the Star of the Show?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Willow is still the Face of TBS!

Anna runs up, Willow dodges, and Willow LARIATS again and again and again! Then short arm LARIAT! The fans cheer as Willow runs, but Anna avoids the senton! Willow hobbles up, Anna runs to ROLLING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Willow toughs it out but goes to a corner. Anna storms up to stomp a mudhole into Willow, but stops as the ref counts. Anna snapmares Willow, then runs to basement DROPKICK! Cover, ONE!
Willow goes back to a corner, Anna runs up, but Willow slips outside. Anna still ROCKS Willow first! Willow falls to the floor, avoids a kick from Anna, then trips Anna up! Willow goes to the apron, the fans bark and Willow smiles. CANNONBALL! Down goes Anna and the fans fire up! Willow is feeling it, and even does heart hands with some fans, while Collision goes picture in picture.

The fans rally as Willow fights up, but Anna becomes a backpack! Willow RAMS Anna into a corner, then scoops, but Anna fights free! Anna shoves Willow, runs up, but Willow dodges! Gut wrench, BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB! Cover, Willow wins!
Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)
Anna sure put up a fight, but Willow is 4-0 as the Comeback Killer! Willow helps Anna to her feet to show there is respect here, and they also hug it out. But will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve been up to, dethrone the Face of TBS?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, Harley Cameron & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee Paquette is with all four women in a familiar situation, and thanks them all for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Renee understands Shida has something to say. Shida says yes! Shida again says she is so sorry, Stat, and that she will make it up to her! That’s why Shida got Kris another tag match! But against THESE TWO! Harley acts surprised, and sarcastically asks if Shida is really allowing herself to wrestle someone not on her level. Can she even talk to someone “not” on her level or what? How does this work? Shida says enough, Harley! You don’t even deserve to touch the kendo stick! Shida then uses Japanese to hide her comments about Harley & Mina having nothing but bosoms.
Mina says enough! Stat, how can you still trust Shida? How can you give her another chance? And… Where was Kris the night Toni was attacked? Shida says enough about Toni! Harley tries to reason with Kris, but Kris storms off. So is that a yes to the match? Mina apologizes to Harley, Harley says she has no idea what to say, but will the Wild Aussie & Fighting Gravure Idol let their actions speak for them against #Shidalander?
Ace Austin & Juice Robinson VS Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia!
The Bang Bang Gang has been struggling to stay afloat, and now they go up against The Death Riders’ Decoder & Dragon Slayer! Will Yuta & Garcia keep the momentum going from what Moxley and the others did earlier tonight? Or can these Collision Cowboys ride off into the Peoria sunset with a win?
Moxley joins commentary for this match, and he admits that 10 Man Tag was a tornado of a match, where you just hang out, pray, and trust your skills to see you through. The teams sort out and Juice starts against Yuta. They circle, Juice tests the ropes, then feel things out. The fans cheer Juice, but Yuta BLASTS Ace!

Garcia stomps Ace, Marina joins in, and the fans boo again. Moxley says this is just the art of tag team wrestling. Garcia puts Ace in for Yuta, Yuta covers, ONE!!

Tag to Garcia, Garcia brings Ace up and bumps him off buckles, then Collision goes picture in picture.
Garcia climbs up, he rains down fists, stops at nine and puts up his dukes. But no dancing here, he just hops down to bump Ace off buckles. Garcia scoops and SLAMS Ace, then tags Yuta. Yuta climbs up to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that, but Yuta clamps on with a chinlock. Ace reaches out but Yuta clamps on a straitjacket. Yuta grinds his forearm into Ace, but Ace fights up to fire body shots. Yuta ripcords Ace to ELBOW him down! Tag to Garcia, they stomp away, but the ref reprimands. Yuta stops at 4, but Garcia stands on Ace at the ropes! Garcia stomps away, stops at 4, then taunts Juice.
Yuta gets a cheap shot in while the ref holds Juice back. Garcia bumps Ace off buckles, but the ref backs him off. That lets Yuta DUMP Ace out, and Marina is again there to cause problems! Yuta puts Ace back in, high-fives and fist bumps Marina, and Garcia stands on Ace! The ref counts, Garcia counts along, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as the Death Riders continue to mug Ace. They shove him to the corner, then Garcia sends Yuta in for the BODY BLOCK! Garcia LARIATS, Yuta ELBOWS, repeat! The Cycle of Violence continues until Ace BOOTS Yuta and ELBOWS Garcia! The fans fire up as Ace hurries, but the Death Riders THROW him back! And they BLAST Juice together! Then they DOUBLE SHOTGUN Ace down! Marina & Moxley love it but they’re the only ones. Garcia reels Ace into a PERUVIAN NECKTIE! The fans boo, but Juice rises up. Ace reaches out, pries free, and has the ROPEBREAK! Garcia drags Ace back up but Ace fires body shots!

Juice LARIATS Garcia back out, then ELBOWS Yuta down! SENTON!
The fans fire up for Juice, and he CROSSBODIES Garcia down! Juice talks trash on Moxley, but Garica throat chops him! Moxley says keep your eye on the ball. Yuta DIVES, but Juice uses Garcia as a shield! the fans cheer the friendly fire, and Jucie SMACKS Yuta off the desk! Yuta is busted right open! Juice fires up, the fans pump it up with him, and Juice JABS! JABS! JABS! “JUICE! JUICE! JUICE!” Garcia gets up, but he gets the LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Yuta runs up, but Juice JABS, JABS, JABS! Marina gets up, and Juice thinks about it. But Yuta rolls Juice up! TWO and Yuta bumps into Marina! The fans cheer as Juice then O’Conner Rolls, TWO!
Juice staggers, comes back, and LEG LARIATS Yuta down! Cover, Garcia breaks it in time! The fans boo but Ace is in! Ace ROCKS Garcia, KNEES, KICKS, and runs up in the corner! Garcia BOOTS Ace, then DUMPS him out! Juice whips Yuta, but Yuta sunset flips! Rewind into Garcia’s PILEDRIVER!! Yuta goes up, Garcia positions Juice just right, FASTBALL SPECIAL!! Cover, TWO!! Moxley is frustrated for his guys, and Yuta snarls through his crimson mask! Yuta aims, BUSAI- NO, Juice ducks the knee! But Garcia SHOTGUNS! But Ace FLYING CHUCKS! Yuta wrenches Ace, RIGHT ANGLE SLAM!
Yuta fires up, he brings Juice around, but Juice hits the LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Then the JUICE BOX!! Cover, BANG BANG GANG WINS!
Winners: Ace Austin & Juice Robinson, by pinfall
Moxley is honestly stunned, but he admits that was good stuff. Saturday nights are alright for a fight, and Garcia CLOBBERS Juice! Yuta LOW BLOWS Ace! The Death Riders are sore losers, Moxley says you don’t go calling him out and get away with it. Garcia CHOKES Juice, Yuta stomps Ace, but “GUNNS UP!” YES, Austin & Colten Gunn are both back! And they rush in to CLOBBER the Death Riders! They fire off on Moxley, but Yuta 7 Garcia come back for more! The Gunns DECK those two, then wait on Moxley! But Marina saves The Maniac from a 3:10 to Yuma! Yuta runs in, he gets the 3:10 TO YUMA!!
The fans fire up as The Bang Bang Gang is now four men strong! Colten gets a mic to shout, “The Collision Cowboys are back, baby! This is OUR show! And if you’re not down with that, we’ve got two words for ya!” “GUNNS UP!!” Marina is pissed, but will The Death Riders settle this with Bang Bang Gang soon enough?
Backstage interview with The Divine Dominion.
Lexy Nair is with Megan Bayne & Lena Kross, and Megan says no, she’s not with them, she’s beneath them. Just like this entire Women’s Division. Lena says Divine Dominion just defeated Stat & Shida, two former world champions, and two of the best in this company. And yet they crumbled at Divine Dominion’s feet! What two other women even have a prayer? Can Lexy think of them? Wanna try? N-NO, absolutely not. Then the only hope this Women’s Division has is if the gods themselves take mercy on their souls and strike these two down. Otherwise, just stop trying. Megan & Lena have spoken, but will that challenge soon be matched?
Skye Blue VS Nixi XS!
The Chicago Skye looms dark over Peoria, especially after she and the Triangle of Madness misted Persephone full in the face just to cheat a win last week. But will Skye make sure to leave her opponent black ‘n’ blue tonight? Or will the Alien Girl shine through with neon colors?
The bell rings and Skye just BOOTS Nixi down! Then she scuffs Nixi, talks trash on her, and pie faces her around. Skye TOSSES Nixi out, then runs up, only for Nixi to BOOT her back! Skye ROCKS Nixi, then runs up again, to BOOGT WASH her to the floor! Skye scowls as she stalks Nixi on the outside, and she brings Nixi up to SMACK her off steel steps! And again, and again, and again! The fans cheer Skye as she puts Nixi on the apron. Skye drags Nixi out for a DRAPING SWINGING NECKBREAKER to the floor! Nixi writhes but Skye puts her back in the ring. Skye swaggers while the fans cheer, then she climbs up the corner.
Nixi slowly rises so Skye revels in the cheers a little more. Nixi ROCKS Skye, but Skye ROCKS her back! They brawl up top, but Skye slips under to tuck Nixi in! CHEEKY NANDOS! Then Skye gets under Nixi for a RUNNING POWERBOMB! Flip over and KNEE!! Cover, but Skye lets up! The fans re torn, but Skye shouts out Julia Hart with the dragon sleeper! She drops down, DESCENT INTO MADNESS! Nixi TAPS, Skye wins!
Winner: Skye Blue, by submission
Skye shows her arsenal is deepening, just like the darkness in her heart! Will all parts of the Triangle of Madness soon be shining with gold?
AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS Hook w/ The Opps!
The Jet used MJF’s own tricks against him to keep this title, and now he has his shot at Darby Allin’s AEW World Championship this Wednesday. But will Knight still be bringing this gold with him? Or will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil finally make himself the Face of TNT?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see whose luggage will be a little heavier as they leave Illinois!
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Knight and Hook circle, tie up, and Hook slips around to waistlock. Hook picks a leg, trips Knight, then eggs him on. The fans boo but Knight brushes it off. Knight asks Shibata if he taught Hook that trick. Shibata ignores Knight, but Knight and Hook tie up again. Hook headlocks, wrenches, then wristlocks. Knight rolls, handsprings, and wrenches to snapmare. Knight drops a KNEE on the arm! Hook scrambles away but Knight calls to Shibata, saying he knows Shibata knows these tricks. Knight does squats like back in the dojo, and the two tie up again. Knight powers Hook back, Hook turns things around, and they go along ropes.
The ref counts as the two keep going around and around, then they return to center. Hook waistlocks, Knight switches, but Hook switches back. Knight wrenches, hammerlocks, and the fans rally. Hook reaches back to hit the SAYANAGI! Hook runs but Knight stays low. Knight hurdles, then HIP TOSSES, but Hook handsprings through! Knight dodges Hook’s lariat, Hook HIP TOSSES, but now Knight handsprings through! The fans cheer while Knight strikes a pose, but Hook runs up! Knight arm-drags Hook, then arm-drags again, but Hook avoids the dropkick! The fans boo as Hook scrambles to the corner.
Knight taunts Hook & Shibata, but Shibata coaches Hook up. Hook kicks low, ROCKS Knight, then fires body shots and backhands in the corner! Knight turns things around to return the body shots and forearms! Knight UPPERCUTS, the fans fire up, but Hook avoids the haymaker! Hook fires more body shots, then a HEADBUTT! Hook wobbles, too, but he still soaks up heat from the fans. Hook stalks Knight to a corner, brings him around to whip, but Knight grabs ropes to stop. Knight DUMPS Hook out, then DROPKICKS him down! Shibata coaches Hook, Knight aims to PLANCHA, but Hook dodges!
Shibata stands in the way, Knight asks what’s up, but Shibata runs up! Knight dodges, goes up the steps, but Hook dodges that! EXPLODER into the fans! The other fans cheer as Knight is down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Hook soaks up more heat as he swaggers around the way, but the ref checks Knight. Knight rises up but the ref has Hook stay back. That just lets Shibata DUMP Knight to ringside! And even stomp him! Hook argues with the ref as a further distraction so Shibata can stand Knight up. Hook KNEES Knight, then whips him hard into railing! Hook CLUBS Knight, soaks up heat, then goes to the ring. Hook argues with the ref more, but that lets Shibata line up a shot! Shibata BOOTS Knight into the crowd! The fans cheer again, they don’t mind Collision being interactive. Shibata puts Knight in for Hook to cover, TWO!
Hook is frustrated but Shibata coaches him up. Hook drags Shibata up, but Knight fires body shots! Knight ROCKS Hook, shakes out his hand then runs, only for Hook to follow! Hook CLOBBERS Knight, covers, TWO! Shibata argues the count but no, it was fair. Hook clamps onto Knight with a SLEEPER! Knight endures, even as Hook leans on him. Knight fights around, reaches out, then fires body shots! Collision returns to single picture as the fans rally. Knight fires shots, Hook shoves, but Knight returns! STAELLITE- NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Knight survives and Hook is furious!
Hook hauls Knight up, fires body shots, then ROCKS Knight. Hook whips corner to corner, but Knight comes back to LARIAT! The fans fire up as Knight keeps going, SHOULDER TACKLE! Knight whips, Hook reverses, but Knight goes up and over! Knight comes back, LEAPING LARIAT! Hook sputters away but Knight kips up! The fans fire up and Knight runs up to scoop and SLAM! The fans cheer as Knight says “TOO FLY!” UFO SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Hook survives but the fans still rally behind Knight. Shibata coaches Hook and Hook rises up. Knight also stands, and Knight runs up, SATELLITE- NO, Hook powers free!
Hook goes to a corner, Knight runs up and blocks a boot! Knight ROCKS Hook, hoists him up top, but Hook kicks Knight away. Knight returns to the UPPER ROOM! Hook goes tumbling away to the far corner! Shibata is worried but Knight grins. Knight says this is for Shibata-sensei! HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! The fans cheer Knight using Shibata’s signature, and that just pisses Shibata off! Knight puts Hook in the drop zone but Hook grabs at the ref. Knight climbs up, but Shibata shakes the ropes! The fans boo as that trips Knight up! Knight is stuck on his cockpit, but Hook goes up after him! Hook clinches but Knight fires body shots!

The fans cheer, but Hook runs up again! GERMAN SUPLEX, but Knight handsprings through!! Then Knight LARIATS Hook down! Then Knight waits on Hook, for the SATELLITE DDT!! Knight puts Hook in a drop zone, hurries up a corner, and takes aim… MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! Cover, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Hook tried to take this title, even had Shibata-sensei there to tip the scales, but it just wasn’t enough to stop The Jet from taking off! But will Knight soon make himself a double champion? Or will Darby Allin’s relentless reign not stop just yet?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to follow a great Dynamite, but naturally status quo is kept with all these title matches. I liked the Jurassic Express National Tour vignette, and that was an awesome match in Jack VS Dorada. Anna Jay also looked great in her return, but of course Willow wins to keep the TBS title. Good promo from after Dynamite with Kris being rightfully angry with Shida, and good promo from #Shidalander with Harley & Mina. I feel like they can do a two-in-one, where Shidalander falls apart to set up their feud, while also giving Harley & Mina reason to become a team to help bolster the Women’s Tag Division.
Speaking of, very good promo from Divine Dominion to address how they’re dominating the division. There are only so many teams in the tag division so we need an influx of more, maybe have some crossover with Stardom and CMLL real quick, really spice things up as we get closer to Forbidden Door. Skye Blue of course won, and pretty dominantly at that. I can’t tell if Julia Hart is resting from an injury or what but she wasn’t even ringside for Skye, hopefully things are alright. Very fun trios match from Conglomeration VS MXM TV, great win for Conglomeration, but AEW needs to figure out more trios. Putting Ciampa with FTR is still a great team, but they gotta get longer running teams going, like LFI or maybe even Shane Taylor Promotions.
Awesome stuff with that 10 Man Tag, so wild and chaotic in a good way, but I figured Death Riders & Dogs would win. The Dogs need to stay afloat without Gabe Kidd as their anchor, and there’s the whole story with Ospreay that Death Riders need to stay strong for. Great tag match from Yuta & Garcia VS Ace & Juice, too, and great win for Bang Bang Gang. Especially with a return from Austin & Colten Gunn, because now we can get Bang Bang Gang VS Death Riders in an 8 Man Tag, someone going after the Continental Championship for it, who knows what else. For that matter, Bang Bang Gang needs to get back in those tag and trios divisions to at least bolster the ranks.
And great main event with the TNT Championship. Hook looked good for most of this, but the German Suplex was a bit janky. Thankfully, Knight is so tall and athletic that he made himself look even cooler in his escape. Knight of course won, mostly because it is more exciting if he has a chance of becoming Jet Two Belts. He won’t, because Darby and MJF are still building towards their rematch for Double or Nothing, but Knight will look awesome again. If anything, Knight VS Shibata should be the TNT title match for Double or Nothing, that’s a great story of student and teacher they can easily reference in the build.
My Score: 8.9/10
