Angelico VS Gravity!

The South African Stud has a standing invitation to an ROH World Championship match from Eddie Kingston, but he’s waiting for the right time to cash in. Will Angelico be rolling on his way towards that title match? Or will the Astronaut of Lucha swoop in and get his shot first?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings and the two circle. Fans rally, Gravity and Angelico tie up, and Angelico goes after an arm. Angelico wristlocks but Gravity reaches back to headlock. Angelico powers up to bring Gravity down and he chinbars with an armlock. Angelico wrenches and wristlocks, Gravity rolls and handsprings to break free, and space walk! Fans cheer, Angelico frowns, and the two reset. Angelico and Gravity knuckle lock, but then Angelico kicks and wrenches to wrangle Gravity down. Gravity bridges up, Angelico pushes him down, but Gravity bridges again. Gravity trips Angelico to elbow a leg!

Angelico rolls to drag Gravity into an ARMBAR! Gravity scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! Angelico lets off and the fans rally up. The two circle, tie up and Angelico has a leg pick for a standing kneebar! Gravity endures, wrangles Angelico down, and turns Angelico over to tie up the legs. Angelico scrambles now, to the ROPEBREAK! Gravity lets off quickly and fans rally up. Angelico and Gravity circle, tie up and Angelico waistlocks. Gravity fights the lift but Angelico still SLAMS him down! Angelico then flips Gravity over, Gravity kips up but Angelico arm-drags him away! Fans cheer and jeer but Angelico soaks it all up.

Angelico mocks the space walk, fans rally up, and Gravity CHOPS! Angelico is stinging, but he kicks low! Angelico whips, Gravity reverses and drops down to then hurdle. Angelico leaps over, Gravity kips up and hip tosses! Then DROPKICKS! Angelico tumbles out, fans fire up and Gravity FLIES! Direct hit and down goes Angelico! Fans fire up as Gravity drags Angelico up and puts him in the ring. Gravity then climbs the corner, CROSSBODY into a DROPKICK! Angelico shoots Gravity outta the sky, then drags him up. Angelico wrenches and back suplexes! Fans rally, Angelico turns Gravity over and he ties up the legs.

Angelico reaches for arms but Gravity resists. Angelico chinlocks, then gets the arms, roll into the INVERTED ANGELITO! And then a bridging cover! TWO!! Gravity escapes but Angelico stomps him down. Angelico stalks Gravity to a corner, does his string dance, and fans boo. Angelico uses both hands! Angelico then drags Gravity up, but Gravity CHOPS! Fans fire up but Angelico knees low! Angelico whips Gravity corner to corner, runs in, but Gravity BOOTS first! Fans fire up as Gravity BOOTS again! Angelico runs back in but Gravity dodges, Angelico hits buckles! Gravity runs in, ARABIAN PRESS but Angelico puts him on the apron!

Gravity baits Angelico into a shoulder, then slingshots up and over to arm-drag! And then an ENZIGURI! Both men are down and the fans fire up again! A standing count begins as the fans rally up. Angelico and Gravity rise at 6 of 10, stand at 7, and Gravity wheelbarrows to a victory roll, TWO! Gravity gets around, roll up and bridge, TWO!! Angelico escapes but the fans fire up with Gravity! Gravity runs in, Angelico fireman’s carries and swings, but Gravity swings through to roll-up! TWO!! Angelico has a TRIANGLE HOLD, but Gravity deadlifts to POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO!! Angelico survives but Gravity goes up!

Fans are thunderous for the DIVING SPLASH onto knees! Angelico drags Gravity up, tucks the arms and Canadian Racks, YOYO SLAM! Stepover omoplata and HALF CRAB! Gravity taps, Angelico wins!

Winner: Angelico, by submission

A big win, and still respect shown from the stud with the Code of Honor handshake. Angelico has said he can go hold for hold, but when and where will he go for gold?

 

The Righteous speak.

Vincent says, “Paper people have no eyes, man. They’re blind.” Dutch says “Pride blinds you and the reality of nature.” Vincent says, “You all only see the surface of everything, not the depths. We told everybody that we were going to tear apart the friendship of MJF & Adam Cole. And we were right. MJF walked into WrestleDream alone, and walked out alone. And now, he’s got four hyenas barking at his neck, man.” And yet everyone thinks The Devil is pulling the strings? No, Vinnie’s the one playing with the pieces, man. From now on, when The Righteous talk, you listen. They speak the truth, and the truth is RIGHTEOUS! Dig what they’re saying, man?

 

Backstage interview with Athena & Billie Starkz.

Well, not exactly. Lexi Nair stands at attention as Athena asks them if they know why they’re here. Um… What’s going on? Athena says this is their very first MEM: Minion Empowerment Meeting! Why? Because “Diabla” and “that retired hussy,” Mercedes, dropped them! Athena doesn’t like getting dropped. Does Minion Number 2 enjoy that? Billie does not. Billie’s facing “Diabla” tonight, a woman Athena gave advice to, and Athena hates how that blew up in her face. So what’s Billie gonna do? WHAT’S SHE GONNA DO!? Shake her hand? NO! Baddest one swings first! Lexi echoes that, and Athena asks if Billie is bad?

Diamante’s bad. But Athena’s minion right here, she says with hard pats on the back, “is the baddest.” Lexi says yes she is! So what’s Billie gonna do!? Swing first! That’s right! Swing first! Cuz that is what they do! So let’s go! NOW. Billie heads out and Lexi says get Diamante right between the eyes! Athena sighs and says Billie still sucks. But will Billie finally prove herself worth to the Fallen Goddess?

 

Ethan Page VS Tony Nese w/ Mark Sterling!

All Ego has five wins on his ROH record and all without being “Premier Brand” with the Premier Athlete. But Smart Mark has Bobby Cruise stop with the introductions because Nese has something important to say, and it is some bad news. Nese addresses Toledo, Ohio, “looking around this crowd, this would’ve been the perfect candidate for my Group Training. Cuz I see nothing but a bunch of sea pigs out there in the crowd tonight. I know, I’m upset, too, I really wanted to do this Group Training. But thanks to Ethan Page, I have to go and make an example of him. So maybe you can learn something tonight when I wipe the floor with him.

“But until then, I have to put a hold on my group training. So send that jackass out.” Ethan makes his entrance, will he get his sixth in a row?

The Code of Honor is upheld, though reluctantly by Nese, and the bell rings. Ethan and Nese circle, tie up, and Nese shoves Ethan away. Nese says stop! Nese says tis what Toledo came to see, and he flexes his biceps. Ethan just lounges on the ropes while he waits. Nese says Ethan has no abs because he sits like that all day. The two reset, tie up, and Ethan headlocks. Fans rally up, Nese pulls hair and the ref reprimands. Nese whips Ethan but then dodges to go outside and do some jumping jacks. Ethan rushes out, Nese slides back in, and does more jumping jacks. Fans boo but Ethan tells Sterling to back off.

Ethan goes to the apron, fans rally and the two circle. Nese kicks low, headlocks, but Ethan powers up and powers out. Ethan drops but Nese bails out to avoid the haymaker! Fans boo but Nese says he’s just too fast for Ethan. Ethan storms out, Nese slides back in, and Ethan grows frustrated. Ethan says if Nese wants to wrestle, fine. But Sterling… Ethan storms up on the ambulance chaser again, but Nese rushes out! So Ethan fires off haymakers! Ethan RAMS Nese into railing, then gives him a SNAKE EYES off the railing! Ethan borrows the fan’s sign that says, “TONY NESE SUCKS!” and sits on Nese with it.

Fans cheer, the sign is returned, and Ethan stomps Nese. Nese tries to escape through the crowd but Ethan drags Nese back to ROCK him over and over! Then Ethan sends Nese into more railing! Ethan hops up to soak up all the cheers, then he puts Nese back in the ring. Nese staggers about, and gets RUN OVER! Cover, TWO! Sterling tells Nese to use his cardio and literally run circles around Ethan. Ethan ROCKS Nese, brings him up, and ROCKS him again! Ethan scoops and SLAMS Nese! Nese flounders to ropes and fans fire up. Ethan runs up on Nese but Nese YANKS him out to the apron!

Ethan drags himself up, Nese storms up but Ethan RAMS into him! Nese distracts the ref with talk of a leg injury, and that lets Sterling trip Ethan up! Ethan tells Sterling off but then Nese THROAT CHOPS and LEG SWEEPS! Nese slingshots to PLANCHA and down goes Ethan! Fans boo but Sterling high-fives his client. Nese slides into the ring to talk with the ref, and Sterling stomps Ethan! Nese goes out to fetch Ethan into the ring, and he soaks up the heat. Nese hoists Ethan up top, has him in the Tree of Woe, and he stomps a mudhole in! The ref counts, Nese lets off, to then run corner to corner, to AB CRUNCH KICK!

Fans boo, the ref counts, but Nese lets off. Ethan falls out of the Tree, Nese covers, TWO! Nese clamps on with a chinlock and he leans on the hold. Fans rally as Ethan endures, fights up, and Ethan throws body shots! Ethan ROCKS Nese, Nese ROCKS Ethan, repeat! Fans rally as Ethan knees low, then suplexes! Nese fights that to THROAT CHOP again! Nese brings Ethan along for the BULLDOG HOTSHOT! Nese gets back in, but Ethan suplexes him first! Fans fire up while both men are down! Both men stand, Ethan ROCKS Nese! And again, and again, and again! Ethan whips, Nese reverses but Ethan LARIATS!

Ethan ROCKS Nese in a corner, runs the ropes, but Nese dodges! Only for Ethan to scoop and POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Nese is still in this but Ethan says he’ll end it! Ethan drags Nese up, Canadian Rack but Nese slips free. Nese waistlocks, Ethan switches but Nese bucks the O’Conner! Nese runs, but Ethan ducks the sobat to ROUNDHOUSE! And then the cradle, for the SLAM! Ethan then goes to the apron, steps in, HEADSHOT!! Cover, TWO?!? Nese survives and shocks Ethan! But the fans fire up as Ethan brings Nese back up and in. Sterling gets on the apron but Ethan chases him off, only for Nese to KNEE Ethan into buckles!

ROLL-UP WITH FEET ON ROPES! NESE WINS!!!

Winner: Tony Nese, by pinfall

Sterling helps Nese STEAL this one, but there’s nothing changing how Ethan’s streak is over! Nese dares to want the Code of Honor handshake here, but then he leaves Ethan hanging. Nese has a better idea: give Sterling a call so Nese can take care of the flab. Ethan DECKS Nese! And kicks Sterling! Ethan lifts Sterling up but Nese makes the save! The Premier Brand runs for it, will Ethan come calling for revenge?

 

Billie Starkz w/ Athena VS Diamante w/ Mercedes Martinez!

We just saw the Minion be empowered, and she’s ready to prove she’s the baddest! Will Billie strike first? Or will she fail to break the Cuban Diamond?

The Code of Honor is upheld reluctantly, the bell rings, and then Diamante swings first! Billie ducks it to ELBOW! Billie TOSSES Diamante out, builds speed, and DIVES! Direct hit and fans fire up! Athena says that’s right, but tells Billie to stay on Diamante. Billie puts Diamante in the ring and she cheers herself. Athena says now’s not the time! Diamante ROCKS Billie, then has her in the ropes, NECKBREAKER HOTSHOT! Diamante drags Billie down to rain down fists! Diamante stalks Billie to a corner and CHOPS! That stung even through the Minion shirt. But then Diamante puts the shirt over Billie’s head!

Diamante puts Billie on ropes, pulls the shirt all the way off, and she CLUBS Billie on the back! Diamante CHOKES Billie on the ropes, lets off, and Billie sputters. Diamante drags Billie up, RAMS her into buckles, and Mercedes says Billie sucks so bad, even Athena said it! Diamante CHOPS, whips corner to corner hard, then dragon sleepers! Billie flails and fights, but Diamante hits a BACKBREAKER! Diamante holds on to BACKBREAKER again, then turns Billie for a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Diamante grows frustrated but she drags Billie up into a cravat neck wrench. Billie endures and throws body shots!

Diamante snapmares Billie, pushes her down, then steps on her face! Mercedes says that’s good, she should be Coach Martinez. Diamante runs to basement dropkick! Cover, TWO! Athena shouts for Billie to get it together! Diamante pushes Billie around, stomps her down, but lets off as the ref counts. Fans rally for Billie but Diamante CHOPS her! Diamante talks trash, UPPERCUTS Billie, and Mercedes taunts Billie as Diamante UPPERCUTS again! Fans rally, Billie sputters and Diamante runs in, but Diamante blocks Billie’s boots! Diamante throws Billie to ropes and DRAPING BACKSTABBERS! Cover, TWO!

Billie hangs tough but she still writhes in pain. Athena shouts for Billie to get up but Diamante drags her up. Diamante ROCKS Billie, has her in a corner and talks some trash. Diamante climbs up, rains down fists, and goes all the way to nine, then CHOPS for ten! Diamante cheers herself on while Athena tells Billie to get up already. Diamante bends Billie against ropes, CLUBS away on her, then brings Billie around. Diamante whips corner to corner, runs in, but she blocks Billie’s boots again. Diamante throws Billie to ropes but Billie ENZIGURIS! Fans fire up and Billie runs in to spin, SMASH and HEEL-

NO, Diamante ducks the heel, but then Billie blocks a kick! “EAT YOUR TEETH!” KNEE! And then wind up and HEEL KICK! Diamante ROCKS Billie! Diamante runs, wheelbarrows, but Billie blocks the roll to have the cover, BILLIE WINS!

Winner: Billie Starkz, by pinfall

But Mercedes attacks! She’s a sore loser but Athena makes the save! Only for Mercedes & Diamante to mug her! The ref reprimands, but Billie rises! Diamante runs up to CLOBBER Billie! Diamante & Mercedes stomp away on Athena in a corner, then Mercedes goes back for Billie. HAYMAKER! Mercedes goes out to look under the ring, and she brings out a chair! She sends that to Diamante, but refs rush out to stop this before it gets worse! Athena grabs that chair from Diamante, Mercedes has one of her own! Billie drags Diamante out to RAM her into steel steps! Athena and Mercedes want at each other but the refs aren’t letting it happen!

Fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” but the refs are insistent. Diamante & Mercedes leave, but Athena & Billie want more! When and where will the Fallen Goddess and her minion make Diamante & Mercedes pay?

 

Backstage interview with Maria Kanellis-Bennett, Cole Karter & Griff Garrison.

Lexi is with The First Lady of Wrestling and her “boys.” It seems like they’re finally on the same page, so how are they feeling tonight? Griff says they’re feeling good, actually, because- OH! Karter almost forgot to give Maria her gift! Ready? Uh, sure. Tada! He got her a shirt, “Hot Moms <3 Professional Wrestlers!” Cuz she IS a hot mom, they’re all pro-wrestlers, it works. Can she wear it tonight please? No, she’s already dressed. Can’t she put it on over her stuff real quick? Sure… At least it matches the rest of the outfit. Griff says Karter’s so weird. Will this team be able to make it work with Karter’s obsession only getting worse?

 

Pure Rules Match: Josh Woods w/ Mark Sterling VS Pat Buck!

The Technical Beast told Smart Mark he doesn’t want a ringside coach, and he certainly didn’t want it to be the Buzzkiller. Will Woods prove he knows what he’s doing in his pursuit of Katsuyori Shibata? Or will Woods fail to break the Man of Iron?

The judges for tonight are Jimmy Jacobs, Christopher Daniels and Madison Rayne. The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and we’re on the clock. The two circle, feel things out, and fans rally up. They tie up, clinch, and Pat fights the belly2belly. Woods waistlocks, Pat wrenches and hammerlocks but Woods slips through. Pat rolls, spins and wrenches. Woods spins Pat around, headlocks, but Pat powers up and out. Things speed up, Pat hurdles but Woods blocks hip toss to a roll and double leglock grapevine! Pat rolls and Woods holds on, but Pat gets the ROPEBREAK! That’s his first of three, and we’ve only hit one minute.

Woods pats Pat on the head and mocks him about using that break. Pat nods, he has to remember the rules. These two circle again, Pat gets around to waistlock but Woods switches. Pat switches, Woods switches again, but Pat drop toeholds. Woods stays up, wags his finger, but then Pat shoves Woods and Woods grabs the ropes! That counts as a ROPEBREAK! Sterling protests but it’s just his first so Woods shakes that off. Woods swings, Pat ducks and headlocks, but Woods spins Pat to SLAM him down! Woods steps over, Pat slips out the back to waistlock, and Woods goes to ropes to stop the O’Conner! But that’s a ROPEBREAK!

Fans cheer as Pat has made Woods use up two ropebreaks in just one minute! Woods and Sterling protest but the ref is the one in charge. Sterling tries to show the ref that the judges didn’t score it that way, but that’s not the point. And then Pat ROCKS Woods! Pat gets away with the closed fist to the face because Sterling is arguing ropebreaks! Pat tells everyone to shush, but then Woods DECKS Pat! Wait, the ref sees that one! That’s Woods’ one warning! Fans cheer, Woods is furious and he runs in at Pat, but blocks a boot! Woods puts the leg in ropes, knee drop on the knee! Pat writhes, Woods grabs the leg to SMASH and SMASH and SMASH! Cover, ONE!!

Woods holds the leg, WRENCHES the leg, and then WRENCHES it again! Pat writhes, Woods steps through but Pat drags him to a cradle! ONE!! Woods swings, into a backslide! TWO! Pat O’Conner Rolls, TWO! Pat runs, gets around, crucifix takedown! TWO! Woods is furious and he KICKKS the leg! KNEE to the face! Woods gut wrenches and carries Pat, to then POWERBOMB! Woods steps around, GORILLA LOCK!! Pat taps, Woods wins!

Winner: Josh Woods, by submission

Woods’ anger boiled up, and he finished this just short of four minutes! He still shakes Pat’s hand for the Code of Honor, and the Sterling Stable is rolling. Will Woods have the goods to go after The Wrestler?

 

Griff Garrison & Cole Karter w/ Maria Kanellis-Bennett VS Ren Jones & Myron Reed!

The Ivy League MVP may not be simpin’ for Maria like the Diamond in the Rough, but at least they agree to put winning ahead of anything. Will they band together to finally get going? Or will distractions like the one in the new T-shirt get in the way again?

The Code of of Honor is skipped, the teams sort out and Griff starts against Myron. They circle, tie up, and Griff waistlocks, but Myron counters the lift with an arm-drag! Griff rushes back in but Myron goes Matrix to dodge! Then he ENZIGURIS! Myron wrenches Griff, Griff throws elbows, and Griff whips. Karter gets a cheap shot, then avoids Myron’s retaliation, and Griff BOOTS Myron down! Griff drags Myron up, stomps away in the corner, then lets off as the ref counts to tag Karter. Griff whips and Karter DROPKICKS! Karter says that’s for Maria! Karter then hoists Myron up, back suplexes, but Myron slips free!

Tag to Ren and he dodges Karter to BOOT Griff! Ren runs up, ducks ‘n’ dodges Karter to UPPERCUT him down! Ren brings Karter up, ducks the haymaker to ROCK him! Suplex for the BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Karter is still in this but Ren drags Karter up. Ren fireman’s carries but Karter fights free. Karter shoves Ren away, tags out to Griff, then dodges Ren to waistlock. Karter shoves Ren to feed the ROLLING ELBOW! Griff BLASTS Myron, Karter Canadian Racks Ren to CLIFFHANGER! Griff covers, he and Karter win!

Winners: Griff Garrison & Cole Karter, by pinfall

The Kingdom’s Army gets it done, and Maria is very proud! Will they continue on until they’re fighting for some tag titles?

 

Dalton Castle speaks.

“Hmm… Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Listen. I know that television gets better when Dalton Castle is on camera. Which gives me a lot of pressure to keep the viewers happy. Because they… Well, they’ve become accustomed to my everything! It’s what they crave…! And I’ll be damned if I let anybody step in my way and prevent me from giving you what you deserve! ROH Television has been filled with so much… ordinary. And it’s about time this Peacock does everything he can to make it extraordinary.” Then just how will Castle make ROH TV must-see?

 

Komander VS Metalik!

The AAA World Cruiserweight Champion is still looking to take command of ROH and AEW, even if that means facing one of his amigos. Will Komander be headed for his second championship? Or will the King of the Ropes earn himself a shot at the one Komander already has?

The fans chant for “LUCHA! LUCHA!” while the Code of Honor is upheld. The bell rings, fans rally up, and the two speed things up already! Komander sidesteps, avoids the handspring, but then Metalik dodges to mule kick. Metalik whips, Komander reverses but Metalik BOOTS and SLING-DOGS! Metalik goes up and along the ropes to MISSILE DROPKICK! Fans fire up as Komander bails out, and Metalik builds speed, to then hold up and PLANCHA! Fans fire up as Komander goes down! Metalik puts Komander in, then springboards to SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Metalik keeps on Komander with a chinlock but Komander throws body shots.

Metalik puts Komander in a corner, stomps him, then CHOPS! Fans are stinging from that one, and Metalik ROCKS Komander. Metalik goes corner to corner, but Komander dodges the splash and GAMANGIRIS! Komander goes up, and he tightrope walks to METEO-RANA! Fans fire up and Komander runs in at the corner, only for Metalik to put him up top. Komander BOOTS Metalik, then tightrope walks to FLYING RANA! Metalik bails out, Komander builds speed and FLIES! Direct hit with the tope and fans fire up! Komander hurries to put Metalik back in. Komander hurries up top again, “This is Awesome!” as Komander CROSSBODIES!

Things keep moving, Komander rolls to SUNSET BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Metalik survives and fans fire up again! Komander fires forearms, puts Metalik up top, and then climbs up after him. Fans rally as the luchadores throw hands! Metalik stands, but Komander gets him for a SUPER DUPER STEINER! Cover, TWO!!! Metalik survives again and Komander can’t believe it! Komander drags Metalik to a drop zone, goes up, and fans chant “This is Lucha!” Komander is up top, but Metalik trips him up! Metalik then goes to the apron, CHOPS Komander, CLUBS him, then goes up. SUPER STEINER of his own!

Metalik fireman’s carries, METALIK DRIVER!! Cover, TWO!! Komander survives but fans chant “SI! SI! SI!” as Metalik goes up. MOONSAULT into BOOTS! Komander torture racks to FLIPPING GUTBUSTER! Then it’s back up top! Komander calls his shot, tightrope walks, CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!

Winner: Komander, by pinfall

The AAA World Cruiserweight Champion is truly a shooting star with that lovely sweet finisher! Will Komander take over ROH soon enough? And Metalik shows his amigo respect, but will Metalik be able to get himself back on track?

 

Triple Threat Tag: The Gates of Agony w/ Prince Nana VS The Workhorsemen VS Action Andretti & Darius Martin!

Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona, JD Drake & Anthony Henry, and Top Flight MK II all want their shot at the ROH World Tag Team Champion, MJF, and that means putting together a worthy win-loss record. Will the Mogul Embassy get back up? Will Scrap Metal & The Saint of August put in the work? Or will the Sight to See & The Air Wolf fly high with some golden tickets?

The Code of Honor is upheld by all but the Gates, and that gets the other four on the same page. They all BLAST Kaun & Liona off the apron! Nana protests but the bell rings, and then Workhorsemen and high fliers coordinate. Darius & JD help give Action & Henry a boost to DOUBLE PLANCHA the Gates down! Fans fire up and then Darius CHOPS JD! JD CHOPS back, they CHOP back and forth! JD knees low, scoops Darius, but Darius slips free to DROPKICK! JD wobbles but swings, Darius dodges to tag Action! Darius RAMS, Action ROCKS and Darius HOTSHOTS! Action goes up and up to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!

Action wrenches JD’s arm, Darius tags in and goes up to DOUBLE STOMP the elbow! Darius wrenches but JD CHOPS back! JD whips Darius to the Workhorse corner, SPLASHES, and Henry tags in. JD whips Darius, Henry hurdles and then bypasses, the Workhorsemen RAM, CLUB and DDT Darius down! Henry covers, TWO! Action coaches Darius but the Gates are up. The ref reprimands Kaun, only two teams are legal at a time. Kaun stays back but the ref misses Liona as he CLOBBERS Darius and Henry! Liona RAMS Darius into the corner, Kaun tags off Darius, and the Gates mug Darius!

Nana says this is legal, JD says no it ain’t, but the Gates DOUBLE TOSS Darius! Kaun runs to SENTON! Cover, TWO! Darius hangs tough but Kaun drags him up. Kaun wrenches, whips him into the Gates’ corner, and he tags Liona. Liona whips Kaun in but Darius ELBOWS back! Darius BOOTS Liona, then gets them both, DOUBLE DDT COMBO! Fans fire up but Liona rises up!? Liona drags Darius up to fireman’s carry but Darius slips free! Darius shoves, Action GAMANGIRIS, but Liona still takes a swing! Darius dodges, hot tag to Action! Action ducks ‘n’ dodges to then pop-up DROPKICK! Fans fire up, Action dodges Liona and he hits buckles!

Feed to the lift, END-ZIGURI OF DAYS! Cover, Kaun breaks it! Kaun gives Henry an IRISH CURSE BACKBREAKER, but Darius gives Kaun a BULLDOG HOTSHOT! Darius adds a GAMANGIRI, then gets in to TORNADO FLATLINER JD! Darius sets JD up for Action, springboard 450!! Cover, Liona CLOBBERS Darius to break it up! Liona whips Action to the corner, Kaun tags in off Action before Liona SPLASHES!

The Gates have Henry but Henry fights with forearms! Henry fires back and forth, Kaun ducks a kick and shoves Henry at Liona. ENZIGURI, but Liona stays up! Liona roars, then HEADBUTTS!! The Gates DOUBLE LARIAT! Cover, The Gates win!

Winners: The Gates of Agony, by pinfall

A fast ‘n’ furious main event, and the Mogul Embassy is getting back on track! Will MJF be in serious trouble if these guys become tag title contenders?


My Thoughts:

A good ROH, but yes, this is my first week of skipping what certainly on paper looked like filler. Granted, this episode was back to a 90 minute length, but still. Now, I still kept an eye on the filler, and they were still good matches. Well, Righteous most certainly squashed their opponents, and their promo seemed to frame it as they were still right about MJF & Cole all along. But after that Triple Threat main event, it does feel like MJF is going to be stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to staying ROH World Tag Team Champion for Cole’s sake. And since AEW loves having ROH stuff on their shows, why not plug that? MJF has all these enemies closing in, he’s gonna have to accept someone else’s help (Acclaimed) at some point if he’s to survive.

I kept the opener of Angelico VS Gravity because, well, yeah can’t really ditch the opener. Plus, it works towards Angelico’s story that he’s getting ready for his title shot with Eddie. Though I don’t think they can pull off a Money in the Bank kind of cash-in because who would even know the story? How many people watching AEW really watch ROH like I am? It’s already a lot to watch the three AEW shows and the three WWE shows, I’m honestly a bit crazier than the average fan for also having ROH.

Good promo from Athena with Billie, and really good match from Billie VS Diamante. Billie getting the win was great, but clearly this feud is only escalating. I would like to think Athena VS Mercedes for the ROH Women’s World title will be a No Disqualification style match, given they had chairs ready to go in that brawl. And good promo from Maria and the Kingdom’s Army, though it feels like this was out of order. Wasn’t Maria already wearing that Hot Moms <3 Pro-Wrestlers shirt already? Bad continuity, guys. But good win for Karter & Griff, maybe they’ll get themselves going to challenge whoever gets the tag titles off MJF.

Good stuff with the Sterling Stable. Woods VS Pat was quicker than I thought it’d be, but I liked Pat being able to outsmart Woods for the middle part there. And of course Nese & Sterling cheat Ethan out of his win streak, delaying Ethan’s chance at the world title. Good promo from Castle, but it just makes me again feel they need to get Samoa Joe back on ROH TV. After all, he’s the ROH World Television Champion. And he needs to finish his story with Castle over that title, because Castle is stuck doing promos to bide his time. And awesome match from Komander and Metalik, that was the real main event for me. Great win for Komander as AEW & ROH continue to help an American audience have an idea of what AAA and CMLL are about.

My Score: 8.5/10

PLAY BY PLAY

WrestleMania SmackDown’s going commercial free for the first hour!

 

Solo Sikoa & Tama Tonga pull into the parking lot.

Solo lets his Right Hand Man handle the bags, but LA KNIGHT ATTACKS! The Mega Star goes after Tama, SMACKS him off some other car, and then SLAMS the door shut on Tama’s hand! Knight gets away before Solo returns, is the WWE US Champion making sure Jacob Fatu can’t stack the deck here in Las Vegas?

 

Seth Rollins is here!

The Visionary surprises Las Vegas as he’s already here ahead of WrestleMania! Rollins struts his way out in a black ‘n’ white tuxedo with golden roses painted on it, and the fans sing along, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” as he goes to the ring. Rollins revels in the cheers before grabbing a mic. The singing continues, and Rollins tells Las Vegas, “It ain’t Monday, it’s Friday, but I thin it still works. Welcome to Friday Night Rollins~!” The fans cheer and Rollins says he is our host! He is a Visionary, he is a Revolutionary, he is SETH! FREAKIN’! ROLLINS! The fans cheer, and Rollins looks to the WrestleMania sign.

The singing returns, but there are also chants of “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” Rollins decides to reference said CM Punk by sitting cross-legged in the middle of the ring! Rollins even tosses the mic sleeve aside, but now the fans chant for “O T C! O T C!” Rollins says we’ll get to him in a minute. Let’s start with that guy who they were chanting for first. The fans chant “C M PUNK!” again, and Rollins says yes, that’s the reason that guy came back to wrestling, right? Because all the fans chanted his name for ten long years! That’s why Punk came back, right? Except, when CM Punk came back to the ring, it wasn’t a WWE ring.

So did Punk came back because the fans were chanting his name? Or because someone wrote him a big fat check? Rollins says when Punk burned that bridge, like he does every other bridge, Punk did finally come back to the WWE. But was it because of the fans chanting his name? No. It was because they wrote him another big fat check. Some fans actually chant, “BIG FAT CHECK! BIG FAT CHECK!” Rollins adds, “Tell me when I’m tellin’ lies. CM Punk likes to pretend he came back for all of you. CM Punk doesn’t care about you. CM Punk doesn’t care about the WWE. He’s a liar, he’s a fraud, he’s a coward…

“And say what you will about Roman Reigns, Mr. OTC…” The fans chant for “O T C! O T C!” and Rollins says Roman doesn’t even pretend to care about the fans! Roman doesn’t even pretend to care about the WWE! And you can believe that. The OTC only cares about the OTC. Roman Reigns is in the Roman Reigns business. Mr. Private Jet, Mr. Limited Schedule, Mr. Handpicked Opponents. The fans sing “Roman! Roman Reigns~!” Rollins says yes, Roman loves that. He loves when you love him. But Roman knows nothing of sacrifice. Punk knows nothing of sacrifice. Rollins knows EVERYTHING about sacrifice!

But funny enough, this story all started 12 years ago, all with Paul Heyman. That’s the truth. Heyman brought Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose into the WWE to be a shield for CM Punk. Every single night, Rollins sacrificed everything he had in this ring to be that shield. Did he get any of the credit? Absolutely not. “Everyone in the back” wanted the cameras and spotlight on Roman Reigns. It was always about Roman Reigns! Roman Reigns was the next John Cena! Roman Reigns was the next cash cow! Look at Roman, put the spotlight on him! Every single year, this went along.

And in the background, after CM Punk had gone away, taken his ball and gone home, Rollins heard little echoes of “C M Punk” chants. Meanwhile, Rollins was making every show, in the ring every night, sacrificing everything that he had! The fans do cheer that, and Rollins says it all came to a head last year, in the main event of WrestleMania, a knee hanging on by a threat, Rollins’ stepdad at home, dying of cancer… But Rollins was there at the very end to be a shield to make sure Roman Reigns LOST! The fans do cheer that, too! They even chant, “Thank You, Seth!” and sing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins soaks it all in before continuing.

“This story between us started 12 years ago, when Paul Heyman brought myself and Roman Reigns into the WWE. And it ends tomorrow night, in the most important Triple Threat match in the history of this industry. And I promise you, I will do exactly what I have done for the past 12 years. I will lay it all on the line. I will sacrifice everything that I have to make sure that this business, this company, this industry, moves forward in the right direction. That’s not a prediction, that’s a spoiler. HAHAHAHAHAHA~!” Rollins has issued his mission statement. Will the Architect finish the story that he’s been writing for over a decade now?

But Julius catches Tozawa, hands him off to Brutus, and while Julius JUMP KNEES Otis, Brutus TOSSES and ELIMINATES Tozawa!

SmackDown shares a snippet of Wade Barrett’s interview with Charlotte Flair.

The full interview will be part of tomorrow’s Countdown to WrestleMania 41, but Barrett says The Queen and Tiffany Stratton have clearly made things personal as of late. There have been numerous verbal attacks, as well as physical. Oh, you don’t say? Yes, Charlotte was even sent home from the arena last week, for her to ultimately show up anyway and attack Tiffany. Charlotte notes that wasn’t the first time something like that happened. Barrett wants to know: why is it this has gotten so nasty so quickly? Charlotte takes a moment, and says she doesn’t love it. They have moved past it. But she has a chip on her shoulder, and if she looks deeper at Tiffany, she can see there’s a chip on Tiff’s shoulder, too.

Charlotte doesn’t love it, but the people are invested now, so if there’s anything that matters most to Charlotte, it’s that people tune in not only to see her, but to see her VS Tiffany Stratton on the biggest stage. This is how we got there, but at the end of the day, getting people invested in something is what this is about. It can be ugly sometimes, but that’s just how you get tougher. The Queen is certainly putting Tiffy to the test, but will it still be #TiffyTime after WrestleMania?

 

Rhea Ripley is here!

Las Vegas fires up as Mami’s in town ahead of her Mania Moment, the Women’s World Championship Triple Threat. Rhea goes to the ring, grabs a mic, and she says, “Sunday, it marks my sixth WrestleMania. Yeah. And each time, I’ve walked into some sort of championship match. But honestly, this one… This one is probably the most important to me. Because it’s true, I let myself get distracted by Bianca Belair, and I lost my Women’s World Championship right before WrestleMania. That’s my bad. So I could, I’m not going to, but I could be coming out here right now to talk about the last few weeks, complain, moan, make excuses, but nah, I’m not gonna do that.

“Because there’s no point in talking about the past anymore. Sunday, I get back what I want, and I do what I have to do.” The fans cheer that! “Rhea Bloody Ripley is walking OUT of WrestleMania your THREE-TIME Women’s World Champion!” The fans really like that! But then wait! Here comes the current champion, Iyo Sky! The Evil Genius high-fives fans as she goes to the ring to step to Rhea. Iyo has a mic, but Bianca Belair interrupts already! The EST struts her way to the ring, struts past Rhea & Iyo, and grabs a mic of her own. The fans boo, but Bianca brushes that off to say, “Y’all two thought y’all was gonna come to SmackDown, drop my name, and I wasn’t gonna show up?”

Bianca says she was definitely showing up tonight! Because tonight might be her last night on SmackDown for awhile, because at WrestleMania, Bianca walks out the champion! The fans boo more, but Bianca says after what they put her through, she isn’t letting this go any time soon. Wait, is that Naomi!? The Glow gone dark has a mic as she makes her way out here to say, “Hey, B. So, you finally decided to show up to SmackDown. And you ain’t even gonna try and talk to me?” Bianca signs but Naomi says she’s filled up the voicemail box, called her like crazy, texted her, and Naomi knows Bianca got ’em cuz it says, “Delivered.”

Naomi approaches the ring and asks if their friendship means so little to Bianca. Naomi didn’t even wanna do this and have everyone in their business, she wanted to handle it in private. But since Bianca’s gonna go ignore her- Bianca says they’re not doing this, Naomi knows why Bianca isn’t responding because Naomi knows what she did. Bianca said what she said last time, and she meant it. So no, they’re not doing this right now. Oh, Bianca cares about Jade that much? Bianca says it’s not even about Jade! Naomi says Jade wasn’t there for Bianca like Naomi was! And tomorrow, Naomi finishes what she started with Jade! And after that-

Well, why wait? Here comes Jade Cargill now! The Storm storms her way to the ring, and she goes right for Naomi! Naomi runs away, Bianca wants Jade to calm down. Jade says Bianca is choosing Naomi over her now. Rhea says no, Jade, this isn’t about you. This is about- NAOMI SHOVES JADE INTO RHEA! Jade DECKS Naomi! Rhea and Bianca brawl just because, and Iyo stays back. Jade has Naomi on the outside, Rhea and Bianca spill out the side, and producers, refs and security rush out to stop this! Iyo decides to get in on this by going up top! OVER THE MOONSAULT onto the cluster!

The fans are thunderous for Iyo, Naomi scurries away from Jade, and a lot is going down this WrestleMania Weekend! Who will have their Mania Moment and shine in the spotlight?

 

Team American Made finds Rey Fenix backstage.

Chad Gable mockingly says, “Look who it is! The new luchador! What, you lasted to the final three tonight before you lost? Yeah, that was a good night, through. Not as good as El Grrrande Americano! Tell me, how’d it feel to get eliminated by the greatest-” Dragon Lee storms in and tells Gable to shut up. Gable gets no respect from real luchadores. Dragon and Fenix stand together and Dragon says Grande will lose at WrestleMania. Don’t talk to Gable about WrestleMania! And don’t talk to him about El Grande! But then Rey Mysterio steps in! Rey tells Gable that Grande is gonna learn about real lucha libre.

Gable says Rey doesn’t tell Gable what Grande’s gonna learn! And Rey sure ain’t teaching it! Rey says Gable sounds like he’s still in fight mode. There’s three of them, and three of Rey’s side. Why not a Six Man Tag here tonight? Brutus laughs, but then Gable frowns. Julius says they’re serious. Fenix tells Rey that he likes this idea. The luchadores go to talk with Nick Aldis, will the King of Lucha Libre build some momentum before he faces El Grande Americano?

 

WWE Tag Team Championships: The Street Profits VS Motor City Machine Guns!

After over four YEARS without gold, Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins finally have belts around their waists again. But will the champions go away after only a few weeks? Or can the Profits be up here in Sin City?
