PLAY BY PLAY
Angelico speaks.
“Eddie, like you said, we are good friends. And I don’t think this championship match should have a negative effect on our friendship. But sometimes, it takes a really good friend to tell you when you’ve crossed the line. And what you did to Serpentico, and you know what you did, mate. You took advantage of a man after he tapped out, and nobody takes advantage of my Snakeman. That was dirty wrestling, mate, and you’re a champion. Shame on you! Now you’ve got me all out of sync. Let’s uh, bring the anger back down here for a second. Push the good vibes back together. I got it. And I’m back.
“Eddie Kingston VS Angelico for the ROH World Heavyweight Championship. L F G.” Angelico is ready, but when and where will he go for the Mad King’s crown?
Angelico w/ Serpentico VS Metalik!
The South African Stud just said his piece, now he’ll let his actions speak for him. Will he be rolling into that title match with Eddie? Or will the King of the Ropes catch him slipping?

Backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher.
Lexi Nair is with the Aussie Arrow and says he is coming off some amazing matches. Kenny Omega, Bryan Danielson, so what is his biggest take away? Fletcher went in believing in his soul that he was gonna win, and he failed. Both times. But what he learned from both those matches is that he is 24 years old with a long career ahead of him, and yet he is already nearly there. Omega and Bryan, two former world champions the world over, two of the greatest of all time, and they were only barely able to beat him. So he doesn’t know exactly what is next for himself, but Fletcher vows that the next time he faces those guys, it’ll be a very different story.
Backstage interview with Maria Kanellis-Bennett.
Lexi is now with the First Lady of Wrestling and notes Maria’s “baby boys” got a great win last week. What exactly is next for them? Well tonight is the Triple Threat Tag and she feels confident about it. Cole Karter & Griff Garrison are on the same page because they’ve found common ground, and that is going for the ROH World Tag Team Championships. That is their goal. So Mama Maria is proud of her baby boys- Leyla Hirsch walks in. And she says Maria must be happy Leyla lost to Athena almost a month ago. No, Maria isn’t happy about that. She wanted to help Leyla, but Leyla expected to be handed everything. That is a huge problem!
No no no, Leyla stops her there. Maria has no idea the struggles and things Leyla has overcome. Her background, where she came from. She needed that match with Athena, she is glad she got it, because it woke her up. It reminded her of who she is, and what she’s capable of. Now, she realizes throughout all of this, she didn’t treat Maria the best. Leyla didn’t want Maria’s help. But now, she’s considering it. She’s willing to open up and let Maria help her. Maria says she hears that, and feels for Leyla. But at the same time, how is Leyla any different than anyone else? Everyone has struggles. So if she wants Maria’s help, earn it.
Maria leaves first, but will Leyla find a way to prove to Maria that she’s ready to join The Kingdom’s Army?
Dalton Castle VS Anthony Henry!
The Peacock is here with his substitute “Baby Chicks,” but he’s still ready to break some hearts! Will the real star of the show shine through and finally get back after that ROH World Television Championship? Or will this Workhorse stampede his own path to the gold?

The Peacock brings down the Saint of Augusta, and he is looking primed and ready! Will he get that primetime title match with Samoa Joe? Or will the One True King of Wrestling Television stall until he has the longest reign in ROH World TV title history?
Backstage interview with Mark Sterling, Tony Nese & Josh Woods.
Lexi is with the Smart Mark stable and says that they’ve both been on a roll. But we saw Battle of the Belts 8 and Nese’s tragic- Sterling stops her there, we’re not talking about that. We’re talking about a reason to celebrate! Their successes on ROH TV! The Premier Athlete’s big win on Ethan Page, the Technical Beast going 6-0, and- Whoa, okay, what’s Ethan Page doing here now? Ethan tells Sterling to relax, he is here because they gave Ethan his card! He’s been calling this number every night this whole week, trying to get those workout sessions on the books, and all he gets is an automated message saying they’ll get back to him. What’s that about?
Sterling says they get back to people in order of importance. They’re in the middle of an interview, please move along, back of the line. Ethan says okay, and looks around but realizes there’s no one in line so he’s next. And the customer is always right, right? Nese tells Ethan that he already lost, it is over, they’re moving on. Nese is in the title picture now! Right, right, Nese did beat Ethan, congrats. But did he do that fair? By the rules? By using his pure wrestling ability? No, he did not. Woods stops Ethan there and says if Ethan wants to really wrestle, they can talk. But for now, he lost, so bye.
Oh so Woods is the wrestler in the group. So he does things by the rules? Sterling says Ethan must want to face Woods next week. Ethan says sure, if that’s all they’re getting, fine. Okay, then they’ll really be done with Ethan after that. Sterling leads his guys away, will they get another win over All Ego? Or will Ethan be the one celebrating when he gets his revenge?
Tornado Tag: Athena & Billie Starkz VS Mercedes Martinez & Diamante!
The Fallen Goddess and her Minion in Training have had enough of the OG Badass & Cuban Diamond ambushing them, starting fights and then getting away before it’s done. But now, there’s nothing holding these four back from finishing it once and for all! Will Athena & Billie bring down the bullies? Or will this be how Mercedes gets her title rematch on the books?

All four women are down and the fans fire up! Billie stirs, makes her way to a corner, and she sees Diamante & Mercedes regroup. They go after Billie, Mercedes ROCKS her with a forearm! And again!

Winners: Mercedes Martinez & Diamante, by pinfall
Athena is beside herself as she was fingertips away from the save! Diamante grabs the title belt to give to Mercedes, then she mocks Athena’s usual self-cheering. Athena DECKS Diamante for it! Athena tells Mercedes to give the belt back, but Mercedes just holds it up. Mercedes says she hasn’t gotten her rematch yet, so here she is asking for it. Mercedes tosses the belt back to Athena, but when and where will she come to take it for good?

We heard from The Aussie Arrow earlier, and now he’ll look to back up those words with actions! Will Fletcher ruin the Return of the Mack to build himself up in the rankings?

Now Athena has to defend her title against that overhyped should-be-retired-by-now Mercedes! And it’s ALL Billie’s fault!! GET IT TOGETHER!! Athena leaves, Billie is in tears, and Lexi comforts the Minion in Training. Will Billie ever prove herself to Athena? Or does Billie need to finally get away from Athena?
Fatal 4 Way: Slim J VS Gringo Loco VS Blake Christian VS Gravity!
A lot of great returns to ROH here, and this could be truly fast and furious! But will it be the OG OG, the Crazy White Boy, the All Heart hometown hero, or the Astronaut of Lucha that defies the odds to win big?

Triple Threat Tag: The Gates of Agony w/ Prince Nana VS The Iron Savages w/ Jacked Jameson VS Griff Garrison & Cole Karter w/ Maria Kanellis-Bennett!
They say all men are created equal, but you look at these three teams, and you see that statement is not true! Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona are big and Boulder & Bronson are bigger, do the “Baby Boys” even stand a chance? Or can they make the First Lady of Wrestling proud with a truly massive upset?
In this Triple Threat, only two teams are active, so the Gates step out without even keeping the Code of Honor. And then Karter & Griff attack the Savages from behind! The bell rings, Jameson is furious but there’s nothing he can do about it! Karter & Griff isolate Bronson, get him up, and Griff bumps him off buckles. Tag to Karter, they double whip Bronson to DROPKICK! Griff keeps moving to KNEE DROP! Karter SLIDING LARIATS! Griff covers, TWO!

BOOT O’ DOOM! But Liona POUNCES Griff! And SPINEBUSTERS Karter! The Gates get Karter up, Nana calls the end, OPEN THE GATES!! Cover, The Gates win!
Winners: The Gates of Agony, by pinfall
No one stands a chance when Kaun & Liona are angry! Nana says if there’s any story to be told, it is the story of the Gates of Agony! Will they storm their way right up to the ROH World Tag Team Championships and steamroll whoever is holding onto them?
My Thoughts:
This episode may have only been 120 minutes, but it wasn’t as good as that sounds. For one, that main event wasn’t even ten minutes, and of course the Gates crush the other teams. Yeah, they’re going to be challenging for the ROH World Tag Team Championships at some point, but c’mon. Why did that main event feel like the most filler thing on the show? It was great to see The Hughes Brothers here in ROH, but their quick loss to The Infantry was filler. Ellering getting a great win off Robyn Renegade was filler. That Fatal 4 Way of great high-fliers was great stuff, but it was also filler since it was just outta nowhere. They need to STOP making main events into filler.
I would’ve thought the Tornado Tag would be main event material, but they made that happen in the first half so people would care about it, and so they could fit that promo of Athena tearing into Billie as part of tonight’s episode. If that was the format, they should’ve made the Tornado Tag lead to really get things going. Angelico had a very good promo to call out Eddie, and then he had a really good match with Metalik. Fletcher had a great promo before having a great match with Willie Mack. Leyla has a good promo with Maria to shift the dynamic of their story, and then Leyla squashes Nyxx. The matches therefore weren’t really filler but build for their stories.
Darius VS Moriarty was really good, could’ve been better, but can’t really say filler. This is more Shane Taylor Promotions shifting from their story with Lee Johnson to the team of Darius & Action as Johnson is on his honeymoon with Julia Hart. Castle VS Henry was great stuff, but was halfway between filler and story build since Castle is going after Samoa Joe and the TV Championship. But the thing is, Samoa Joe needs to be on ROH TV! Someone tell Tony Khan that already. But I really liked the promo from Ethan Page with Mark Sterling and his guys. Ethan VS Woods is going to be great stuff, but hard to say how that goes. Woods is building himself up towards another shot at the Pure Championship, but Ethan should win because he’ll get payback on Sterling.
But seriously, the way things worked out tonight, this is why I’m only covering stuff that’s even remotely important. If ROH isn’t going to be more than AEW Dark with a new look, then why should I cover the full… I can’t even give a number because they decide at random what to make the runtime!
My Score: 8.3/10

Hangman Page is here!
Mexico City fires up for the Blackhat Cowboy as he makes his way into Arena Mexico for the first time! Hangman has a mic to say, “Hola! Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL. This is the best pro-wrestling in the world!
Hangman continues by saying that he also wants to make it known about AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, that while Hangman is not wrestling tonight, and that he is not allowed ringside later tonight for the main event… He will find Moxley after! And Excalibur apologizes, the last part definitely can’t be translated for the sake of the broadcast. The fans still cheer Hangman on, they wanna see that #CowboyS*it. Hangman adds that once again, he is thankful for letting them be here in Arena Mexico. Now, let the action begin! The fans cheer as Hangman heads out, will The Cowboy get his hands on The Maniac before the night is over?

Well, they always say, “Card subject to change.” Cash Wheeler is not able to make it, but Lance Archer and “The Predator,” Volador Jr, take his place! Then on the other side, the OG Atlantis jumps in! Will things only end up crazier to start off Grand Slam?
As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.
On the other side, ROH World Champion Bandido leads the way for his team, followed by Templario and the Atlantis father and son. Then Brody King and Daniel Garcia follow, saving TNT Champion, Adam Cole, for last! The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” These massive teams sort out, and Bandido steps up against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita.

Another message sent to not just Kenny Omega but to anyone who would dare defy them. Will Okada go from Continental Champion to Unified Champion after going All In?
MJF w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Mistico!
The Scumbag only ever does or uses something when it benefits him, and being extremely patriotic for the United States only seems to happen when he wants to stick it to someone not from the United States. MJF waves Ol’ Glory while he, MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin walk down to the ring, but will he have to wave the white flag of surrender here tonight? Or will MJF somehow screw over the arguably greatest and most beloved man in CMLL?
In fact, to counter MJF being an American idiot, Mistico takes off his Sin Cara mask to reveal the colors of Mexico’s flag and therefore the colors of his people. He also has Me Muero as his theme, and the fans all know that one! The bell rings and the two circle while the fans rally behind Mistico. The two tie up, MJF SHOVES Mistico away, and then MJF soaks up the heat. MJF mockingly claps and then says up theirs! MVP tells MJF to worry about Mistico, not the fans. The fans tell MJF off and MJF tells them to shut up. MJF and Mistico tie up, Mistico SHOVES MJF, and Mistico eggs MJF on! MJF gets up, he and Mistico circle again, and they tie up.

Mistico goes up, up, and he tightrope walks to FLYING ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Mistico then hits a CODE RED! Cover, TWO! MJF bails out but Mistico builds speed! Mistico handsprings to fake MJF out! MJF thinks he’s smooth for running away, but then MVP tells him to focus on Mistico, not on the fans. MJF says he knows, and he eggs on Mistico. Mistico runs out there to chase MJF, but then the Hurt Syndicate stands in the way!
The fans boo, Mistico wags his finger, and he tells them to part. MJF runs up to ROCK Mistico first! The fans boo but MJF high-fives his guys. MJF says, “Easy! Too easy!” MJF puts Mistico in the ring, smirks while the fans call him more names. MJF swivels his hips, then runs up, but Mistico dodges the knee drop! Mistico runs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Mistico has MJF in a corner. MJF wants mercy, but Mistico says nope! Mistico runs up, but MJF YANKS him into buckles! MJF stomps away on Mistico, then goes to the other end to stand on the corner. MJF soaks up heat as he does the Pledge of Allegiance!
The fans boo, and MVP again reprimands MJF, he needs to be about business, not about trolling! MJF goes back to Mistico, drags him up, and he brings Mistico around, but Mistico JAWBREAKERS! Mistico runs, hops on, but MJF stops Code Red to reel Mistico in! POWER BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Mistico survives, MVP says this is still fine, and Grand Slam goes picture in picture. MJF sits Mistico up, and he pulls at the mask! MJF’s lucky this is an AEW based event, CMLL rules say this is tantamount to a disqualification! MJF rips at the eyehole, then clamps on a chinlock. MJF grinds Mistico down but Mistico endures.

MJF TOSSES Mistico out, distracts the ref, and the Hurt Syndicate attacks! BARRIER BACKBREAKER from Shelton! Shelton shoves Mistico back into the ring, MJF covers, TWO! Mistico is still in this but the ref is a bit suspicious of the Hurt Syndicate. MVP defends their innocence, and MJF puts Mistico on ropes. MJF CHOKES Mistico, the ref counts, and MJF stops at 4. This lets Lashley CHOKE Mistico and throw hands! The Hurt syndicate gets away with more, and MJF covers, TWO!
MVP tells fans to callete, they saw nothing! MJF stalks Mistico, stomps him on the foot, then has him on the ropes. MJF stomps him more, then soaks up heat. MJF drags Mistico up, scoops and carries him, then SLAMS him down! MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs while Grand Slam returns to single picture. MJF sits Mistico back up, runs the ropes, and then just steps up to pelvic thrust! The fans boo and Mistico is pissed now! MVP says no more trolling, MJF, he’s already told him that! MJF ROCKS Mistico, but Mistico eggs him on! MJF ROCKS Mistico, CLUBS him again and again, but then Mistico blocks to fire off forearms! And KICKS, SOBATS and KICKS!

The fans fire up as Mistico puts MJF back in the ring. Mistico then springboards again, SWANTON BOMB! MJF sputters into the drop zone and Mistico goes up the corner! MOONSAULT, but MJF moves! Mistico rolls through as best he can, and he SNAP POWERSLAMS! Cover, TWO!! MJF survives, MVP is frustrated on his behalf, but Mistico covers again, TWO! MJF is still in this but the fans are still behind Mistico. Mistico stands MJF up and CHOPS! The fans rally, Mistico runs, but MJF SPITS in Mistico’s face! Mistico is pissed, but MJF dodges the haymaker! Mistico blocks MJF’s kick, but MJF POKES Mistico in the eyes!
MJF runs, but Mistico SUPERKICKS! MJF rebounds to FOREARM! Mistico rebounds to hop on, DESTROYER!! MJF staggers but he SUPERKICKS back! Cover, TWO!! Mistico survives, and both men are showing us why they were each record-setting champions in their companies! The fans rally up more and more, “ESTA LUCHA!” MVP talks with Lashley & Shelton, and MJF rises up. MJF goes to the apron, and then up the ramp? Is MJF quitting? Mistico rushes up after MJF, tilt-o-whirl and- NO, MJF stops La Mystica to hit a TOMBSTONEÂ on the stage!! The ref hurries to check Mistico while the fans go nuts!
MVP hurries to check on MJF and tells him to get up. MJF grabs the ref and drags him away to the ring. MJF now wants the win by count out!

MJF covers his ears to block out the chants for Mistico, but then he drags Mistico to a corner. MJF calls his shot, goes up the corner, but Mistico springs up! GAMANGIRI! GAMANGIRI! And GAMANGIRI!!

The fans are electric as Mistico survives! “ESTA LUCHA!” as MJF and the ref argue now. MJF then runs up to LOW BLOW Mistico!??!
Winner: Mistico, by disqualification
Typical MJF throws a tantrum with that blatant breaking of the rules! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but then MJF SHOVES the ref down! That’ll be a fine, but MJF just rains down fists on Mistico! Lashley & Shelton join in! The fans boo as the Hurt Syndicate mugs Mistico! Then MJF threatens to do it! He grins, and he grabs Mistico’s mask! MJF SNATCHES it away!! The fans are furious as MJF holds up his trophy, and then puts it on! MJF flips everyone off while wearing Mistico’s mask, but here come Bandido, Templario y Titan!

4 Million Pesos Fatal 4 Way: Ricochet VS Mascara Dorada VS Holo.grm VS Lio Rush!
The One & Only is still looking for someone, anyone, to be worthy of following him on his journey to gold. Maybe having an extra $210K will help that? Or will someone else cash in big with a Grand Slam?
The bell rings and the four watch each other. Ricochet tries to bond with Bryce Remsburg over being bald but Bryce isn’t having it. Ricochet and the others all approach center, but then Lio says forget this. Lio goes to a corner to soak up heat, and Ricochet talks it over with the luchadores.

Ricochet THROWS Hologram into more railing, then Lio talks trash. Ricochet soaks up heat, Lio sends Dorada hard into the railing!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion)
Even Mone is a bit surprised, but she flipped things around on Zeuxis and has taken yet another title! Mone holds up the FIVE championships in her collection and the streams fly! Will The CEO only add to her treasury when she and- Wait, speaking of Toni Storm, she’s on the tron! “She’s the kind of woman who always has money on her mind and someone else on her lips. She’s the kind of woman mother takes home to you. With thighs as big as the world and long as a wet dream. One thing she did know how to hold the gold, and not the Acapulco kind, either. She had a date with a Chief Executive Officer who wanted a kiss, but one belt too many.
“Deepthroat some tabasco, baby, it’s time to turn up the heat. There was one chance in a million she would bump into her past, but like everything out of the past, it was all behind her now.” The fans cheer as the noir narration ends, because surprise! That’s… Mina Shirakawa? Because Toni Storm sneaks into the ring from the crowd! The fans fire up as the lady in red takes a sniff of the gold. Mone realizes what’s going on now, and Toni reels her in for a FIVE BELT GERMAN SUPLEX!! Toni goes from Marlowe to Brando to fire off on her contender! The fans cheer as Mone runs away and Toni gives her chase! She gets Mone at the ramp but the refs stop her!
The fans boo and Mone scrambles away through the streamers! One lucky fan gets Mone to hug her as she cowers in fear. Toni grabs a mic to shout, “Let the games begin~!” Toni revels in the streamers while Mone pulls at her hair in frustration! Will the AEW Women’s World Championship be the one belt Mone doesn’t take?

Moxley is frozen in place, and now The Opps & Ospreay get in the ring! The Maniac decides discretion is the better part of valor, and The Death Riders are in retreat. But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?
My Thoughts:
Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.
Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.
Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.
Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.
Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.
My Score: 9/10
