Eddie Kingston speaks.

It was just after his match at WrestleDream, and he asks, “Whaddya want, Jean Carlo? I just been through a war with Shibata. And we did it all to the spirit of Antonio Inoki. Tried to lay it out there, and tried to do it Japanese style. I’m trying to learn and still learning, but respect greatly, so I’m trying to bring it here to America. And whether people like it or not, this is what I love, and that’s the style I love. And being able to share that with Shibata was something special. I respect that man, I team up with that man, I have nothing but… I got mad love for ya.

“What’s next? I dunno, Lethal popped off. Stokely’s poppin’ off. Look, I guess that’s the problem with being a champion. I don’t know, Jean Carlo, I just wanna go eat some of the… They got that Snickers joint. The Snickers peanut butter pie down in catering. That’s all I wanna do, bro. Then I’ll worry about sauna and all that stuff after to look like a wrestler. Still double champ, though.” The Mad King is ready to celebrate his way, but who will step to his throne next?

 

ROH Women’s World Championship: Athena w/ Billie Starkz VS Leyla Hirsch!

The Fallen Goddess doesn’t think her Minion is “getting it.” There is no mercy or compassion when it comes to dominating the top of the mountain! Will Athena make sure that message is loud and clear? Or will there be a LEGIT champion in ROH?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who gets their point across!

The Code of Honor is upheld but barely, and the bell rings. Fans rally and the two circle while fans like Billie’s Seattle Seahawks colored Minion In Training shirt. Leyla waistlocks and drags Athena down, but Athena fights up. Leyla blocks the snapmare to wrench, but Athena handsprings to wrench and arm-drag! Athena kips up and Billie cheers her on, as do the fans. But then Athena turns around into a SHOTGUN! Leyla ROCKS Athena in a corner with a forearm, then runs to jump and SWINGING DROPKICK! Athena bails out, wanting a timeout and Billie asks if she’s okay. But Leyla builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit at the ramp!

Leyla stands up and says “This is my time, this is my title!” Leyla whips Athena at steps but Athena jumps up! Athena then jumps over Leyla to SHOTGUN Leyla! Leyla almost hits the steel steps with her head! Athena stands up to shout “This is MY show!” Fans fire up and Billie says that’s right! Athena refreshes the ring count, Billie says Athena knows how to count, but then Leyla YANKS Athena into steel steps! Billie asks if Athena is okay but Leyla stalks Athena. Leyla CLUBS Athena, brings her up the steps, and Billie says don’t do it! Leyla suplexes but Athena fights it! Athena suplexes to GOURD BUSTER Leyla to the floor!

Fans fire up and Athena cheers herself on. Athena rolls into the ring and lets the ring count climb. Leyla stirs but the count passes 5 of 20. Leyla sits up and fans duel as Leyla pushes herself up. Leyla hobbles but slides in at 9, only for Athena to CLUB away on her! Fans rally, Athena KICKS Leyla in the back! Then KICKS her again! Athena tells Billie to stop being a cheerleader, then she drags Leyla up. Leyla fires off forearms! Athena ends up in a corner and Leyla whips corner to corner. Athena reverses, Leyla goes up and over and has a SLEEPER! With body scissors, too! Billie freaks out and Leyla shifts to an IRON OCTOPUS!

Athena endures, pulls hair and she THROWS Leyla down! The ref reprimands and Billie says that is nasty, but Athena drags Leyla up. Athena tells the ref to back off, and she has Leyla in the ropes to CLUB away on her! The ref counts, Athena stops to BOOT Leyla down! Athena swaggers, but Leyla rolls her up! TWO! Athena DECKS Leyla!! Fans fire up and Athena fumes, but Athena isn’t gonna stop here. Fans rally behind Athena as she paces around. Leyla flounders to a corner, Athena grins and runs in, to back body block! Athena keeps moving, BIG forearm! Athena laughs and then snapmares, to clamp on a DRAGON SLEEPER!

Leyla endures, turns to release pressure but Athena throws her down by her hair! Athena ties up the legs and has a BOW ‘N’ ARROW STRETCH! Athena keeps Leyla on her side but Leyla throws elbows! Athena brings Leyla up but Leyla throws more elbows! Fans fire up as Leyla gets free, then dodges Athena to send her into buckle! Athena staggers into a SAIDO! And then into an EXPLODER! Leyla runs, to LARIAT Athena inside-out! Fans fire up and Billie is scared as Leyla waistlocks. Deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! Cover, TWO!! Athena survives and Billie can breath again. But Leyla keeps her cool as Athena sputters.

Leyla storms up, but Athena reaches up to RANA Leyla into buckles! Fans fire up while both women are down! Athena crawls away, Leyla drags herself up, and Athena catches Leyla to rebound and ROLLING SENTON! Fans fire up while Athena snarls. Athena goes up a corner, and she aims as Leyla rises. But Leyla runs in to avoid the O-Face! ARMBAR TAKEDOWN!! Athena flails, clasps hands, but Leyla pulls on the arm! Athena moves, into a TRIANGLE HOLD! Leyla squeezes tight but Athena endures! Athena pushes up, pie faces Leyla to get her for a DEADLIFT POWERBOMB!! Cover, TWO!!

Billie cannot believe that didn’t finish it! The fans rally up and a standing count begins. The two crawl to each other, sit up, and Leyla throws a forearm! Athena throws it back! Leyla throws another! Athena DECKS Leyla again! But Leyla gets up to DECK Athena! Athena stands to fire a flurry but then Leyla answers! And with interest! Fans fire up as Leyla has Athena wobbling! Athena shoves to UPPERCUT, ROLLING ELBOW, BACKHAND, and then she catches Leyla’s arm for a takedown! CROSSFACE!! Leyla flails, reaches out, pushes back to a cover, TWO!! Leyla steps over and has the LEGIT ARMBAR!!!

Athena flails, reaches to clasp hands again, but Leyla kicks her! Leyla breaks the grip!!! Athena flails, pushes through, scrapes Leyla with her foot, and gets free! Then SLIDING FOREARMS!! Athena rains down more forearm shots, then shouts at the ref to stop telling her what to do! Athena storms up on Leyla in the corner but Leyla ELBOWS her away! Leyla goes up, but Athena DROPKICKS Leyla first! Athena climbs up to join Leyla, but Leyla CLUBS away on Athena! “This is Awesome!” as Leyla SMACKS Athena off the buckles again and again! Leyla adjusts, to SUNSET FLIP GERMAN SUPLEX?! WHAT?!

Billie is freaking out as Leyla goes up top again! But Athena rises?! Leyla mule kicks her down! Leyla MOONSAULTS INTO A SUPERKICK!! Athena reels Leyla in, Canadian Rack to DESPICABLE DEEDS!! Cover, Athena wins!!

Winner: Athena, by pinfall (still ROH Women’s World Champion)

And The Fallen Goddess is the first woman in ROH to reach 40 wins!! 40-0 at that, but then Athena SUPERKICKS Leyla back down! Athena continues to show no mercy or respect, and Billie tells her to stop before going further. Athena thinks about it, and rolls her eyes as she actually spares Leyla! Billie smiles and heads out with the Overlord. Will anyone ever stop Athena’s reign of terror? But then Maria Kanellis-Bennett walks out on stage. And she gives Leyla the “I told you so.” Leyla earned the opportunity, but will she need The First Lady of Wrestling to help her win the title?

 

Backstage interview with Christopher Daniels and Rocky Romero.

Lexi Nair is with The Fallen Angel and Azucar, both men with rich history in ROH. They’ve both held titles at one point, but tonight is the first time these two have actually faced each other in an ROH match. Rocky says he has nothing but respect for CD, and because of their match at the Super 8 years ago, Rocky got his opportunity to be in ROH, which helped him become a three-time ROH World Tag Team Champion. Daniels appreciates that, and he has followed Rocky’s career. Former ROH World Tag Team Champion. Former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion. Current CMLL Welterweight Champion. One of the best in the world.

But if Daniels can win, he gets back on the championship track. Both men are going to bring their very best tonight, so may the best man win. Rocky says that sounds good. Daniels will bring the salsa, but Rocky brings the sugar. Well, Daniels knows a thing or two about spice. Who will be the one that gets hot tonight in Seattle?

 

Josh Woods w/ Mark Sterling VS Tyler Payne!

The Technical Beast is on a winning streak, still building his case for one more shot at Katsuyori Shibata and the ROH Pure Championship. Will Woods still have the goods? Or will he simply feel the Payne?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the two circle. Woods says Payne gets a free shot, so Payne headlocks. Woods slips right out to snapmare, and then he fakes the Penalty Kick to pat Payne on the head. Payne gets mad but Woods offers him a leg. Payne goes for it, but Woods stays up as Payne tries to hit the takedown. Woods gut wrenches Payne off the leg to then gut wrench suplex Payne all the way to a corner! Fans are torn, but then Woods runs in and Payne ELBOWS him! And SWING KICKS! And slingshots to kick and moonsault up and over! Woods whips Payne, Payne holds ropes and BOOTS back!

Payne swings, Woods ducks the elbow and he puts Payne in the ropes, to KICK, BACKBREAKER, and GERMAN SUPLEX! Fans fire up and Woods looms over Payne. Woods drags Payne up, reels him in, suplex for TILT-O-WOODS! Cover, Woods wins!

Winner: Josh Woods, by pinfall

No strikes to the face, no ropebreaks needed, and not even a bead of sweat. Woods still shows respect to Payne with the Code of Honor, but will Woods get his second shot at Shibata?

 

Christopher Daniels VS Rocky Romero!

We just heard from the Fallen Angel and Azucar, and now they will put words to action! Who will be the better man here tonight, also aimed for title opportunities?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and fans rally up for these icons as they circle. They feel things out, tie up, and Daniels wrenches to wristlock. Rocky endures, rolls, and wrenches back to a wristlock. Daniels endures, rolls, and trips Rocky to then roll and headlock. Fans cheer the technical exchange, and Rocky fights up. Rocky powers up but can’t power out as Daniels holds on tight! Rocky fights up again, throws body shots, and he powers out again. Daniels runs Rocky over, shakes out his arm, and things speed up.

Rocky DIVES to take Daniels down at the ramp! Fans fire up and Rocky swaggers a bit. Rocky goes up but Daniels grabs a leg. Rocky kicks Daniels away to FLYING KNEE him down!

Rocky survives and Daniels grows frustrated, but the fans rally up.

Daniels clamps onto Rocky with a chinlock, digging his knee into Rocky’s back. Fans rally and Rocky fights up, and Rocky throws more elbows. But Daniels CLUBS Rocky down! Daniels then scoops, back suplexes, but Rocky lands out! Rocky spins Daniels and goes to ropes, TORNADO DDT! A rough landing but both men go to corners. Fans rally for Rocky as he winds up again, and runs in to clothesline! ONE-EVER! TWO-EVER! But Daniels runs in, Rocky dodges, Daniels dodges, but the LARIAT hits! Fans fire up with Rocky and he stalks Daniels. Rocky puts Daniels in ropes, KICKS him, then goes up the corner!

Rocky gives some Latino Heat to GUILLOTINE DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Daniels is still in this but Rocky just keeps his focus. Fans rally as Rocky climbs again, but Daniels trips him up! Rocky is stuck up top, and Daniels cravats. Rocky CLUBS free, but Daniels SHOTEIS! Daniels goes up now, to SUPER STEINER! Rocky goes flying! Daniels hurries to cover, TWO!! Rocky survives and Daniels is surprised but the fans rally again. Daniels underhooks, ANGEL’S- NO, Rocky blocks and then back drops free! Fans fire up as Rocky runs, slides under, and kicks. Daniels blocks, ducks the enziguri but not the REWIND HEEL!

Rocky gets moving again, SHIRANUI!! Cover, ROCKY WINS!

Winner: Rocky Romero, by pinfall

Daniels wanted to get back on track towards a championship against a champion, but Rocky stops him before he gets started! But at least they both show respect with the Code of Honor. Will the Fallen Angel ever rise to former glory? Will Rocky look to add another championship to his collection in the near future?

 

Backstage interview with Dalton Castle.

Lexi is with The Peacock as he seems to be rather stressed out. He is feeling the pressure of the fans? Yes… Not just the fans. Everything! His heart’s been racing, he has no time to himself, he couldn’t even put together a proper ensemble! Look at this! A white tee and jeans? He’s a blank canvas! His heart’s racing 12 million miles a minute. That’s the fastest you can go, by the way. Lexi isn’t sure about that but okay. Well feel it. Feel his heart. You feel that? Yeah. Does he have any plans to combat this stress? Yes, he has to give the people what they want. And what is that? Castle knows that when he is on screen, the ratings spike, the viewers are happier, and TV is just better!

So Castle has to find a way to be on screen more. Give the people what they want! Give them what they deserve! Oh, but where does that begin? Certainly not with this shirt! Not this shirt! Castle heads out and Lexi isn’t sure what’s going on, but will Castle find his way to be the star of ROH programming?

The Closer has returned to ROH, but there is a climb up the mountain ahead of him. Will Scorpio be able to reach for the sky? Or will NJPW Strong’s Mr. No Days Off show he can reach that mountaintop himself?

Six Woman Tag: Willow Nightingale, Kiera Hogan & Skye Blue VS Lady Frost & The Renegades!

Three women united mostly against Julia Hart also have common enemies in the Coolest Wrestler and the meanest twins, Charlette & Robyn. Will the Babe with the Power, the Hottest Flame and Chicago Skye be a force to be reckoned with? Or will their one win together be their one win together?

The Code of Honor is upheld, but then Frost & The Renegades take a shot! Only for Willow’s team to counter punch them! The Renegades bail out while Frost and Willow trade shots!

Lexi is with Captain Shawn Dean, Carlie Bravo & Trish Adora, and says they are all in action tonight. Trish has a match with Billie Starkz, and Dean & Bravo face TMDK. How are they feeling? Capt. Dean says they are feeling good. Last week didn’t go their way with Maria sticking her nose into things, but they will handle that later. There’s plenty of battles in the war, and they plan on getting back on their winning ways. And Carlie says what better way to do that than to go against a team like Tizzle Mizzle Dizzle Kizzle, The Mighty Don’t Kneel. Two men known all around the world for whooping ass and winning wars.

But wait, wait, wait, do you know who else is known for that? The Infantry! And speaking of, Trish has her match with Billie, and you already know Trish don’t miss. So you can get with this, or you can get with that. Trish says have no fear, the Infantry is still here. Copy that. Ctrl + C!

Dean, Bravo & Adora head out, will they march their way to total victory tonight?

All Ego is 3-0 in ROH and he isn’t stopping yet! Will Ethan go all the way until he’s a champion? Or will he have to cash out after this?

Backstage interview with Tony Nese & Mark Sterling.

Lexi is with the Premier Athlete & Smart Mark, and says tonight Nese takes on Satoshi Kojima. And Mark has done some research? Yes, they don’t call him Smart Mark for nothing. He looked into national statistics, and has found exactly why Seattle is at the top of the obesity levels in America. It is because of one thing: carbs are the enemy! Nese holds up a loaf of white bread as Sterling says they are waging war on bread, and anyone that likes it! AKA Kojima. Lexi says good luck with that… Will Nese take down the leader of Bread Club? Or will he regret going against the grain?

 

TMDK w/ Bad Dude Tito VS The Infantry!

So what if Shane Haste, Mikey Nicholls, and their buddy, Bad Dude Tito, didn’t win the AEW World Trios Championships at WrestleDream? The Mighty Don’t Kneel, and they don’t stop fighting!

Backstage interview with Ethan Page.

Lexi is with All Ego as he has his fourth win. He is getting people talking, taking notice, including ROH World Champion, Eddie Kingston. Is that so? Eddie is watching Ethan? Good! Ethan hopes everyone in ROH is watching, because Ethan is watching everyone in ROH. From day one, he said he wanted competition, and every single week, ROH has delivered that to Ethan tenfold! And so if Eddie is watching, Ethan asks he pay close attention. Ethan is switching it up every single week, and his confidence grows every single week. The ego is refilling, so when Ethan gets to 100%, he’s ready for Eddie at any time.

In fact, that also goes for everyone in ROH. Next week, Ethan is looking for his fifth win in a row. Will the streak continue on until we see All Ego go for the Mad King’s crown?

 

Tony Nese w/ Mark Sterling VS Satoshi Kojima!

We heard from the Premier Athlete and Smart Mark earlier, but Smart Mark has the mic to cut Bobby Cruise off and tells everyone that his client has something to say. Nese tells Seattle that the last time he was here, he was wiping the floor with their hometown hero. Yeah, boo, he’s overrated, Nese agrees. But Nese has good news for them. Nese is here today on a different mission. Nese is here because he wants to help every single one of them to stop being fat, disgusting, out-of-shape, pathetic losers! Fans boo but Nese says he’ll start with a lesson. Each and every one here needs to lay off the carbs!

For example, Exhibit A: bread! Who here likes bread? The fans all cheer! That’s Nese’s point. That is why they are all sitting there while he stands here looking like a million bucks. But wait! Here comes Kojima! Fans fire up for the leader of Bread Club! But Nese still wants to talk! He asks Kojima what his problem is, and Kojima asks to speak. Nese holds up the mic to him, and he says, “I. Love. Bread.” Fans cheer and Nese is upset. Nese says everyone can calm down. We can all tell Kojima likes bread. But Nese is in a good mood tonight. If Kojima likes bread, Nese will give him a gift. Nese drops the loaf, to STOMP it?!

Athena speaks.

“Here we are once again. Minion Training Session 2. It’s like Minion Training 1, but only harder.” Lexi showed promise but Billie… Athena blows the whistle and tells them to turn around to go down the stairs now. “Billie still sucks.” Billie and Lexi catch their breath but they feel like throwing up. Athena tells them to keep going! They then do squats and Athena says she designed this program for “Minion Empowerment.” She doesn’t just do it all herself. She listens to others, takes advice from others and… that makes Billie laugh, which Athena hears and frowns at.

Lexi says Athena is great. She’s kind, understanding, passionate, patient. You can’t say a bad word about her. Billie isn’t so sure about that, and then Athena CLOBBERS a ROH staffer just for bumping into her! Billie wonders what that makes Athena to them. A mentor, of course. Oh, right, of course. Athena shouts at refs on sight, though… Bobby Cruise helps Billie & Lexi announce Athena’s name with some oomph, and Billie says it is surprising Lexi came in with this with no experience and is just killing it. Athena’s tough, but Billie’s glad she has Lexi with her. Lexi says it is disappointing that Billie is just sloppy and has bad cardio.

Athena says this concludes session number two. Lexi passes with flying colors. Billie… still sucks. But for that, she gets one more very special task, as punishment. She has to prank Tony Khan!? She knocks on his door, opens it and pretends to be Willow! “My name is Willow and I’m a big loser!” Uh… Well, will Billie make up for her apparently failure by winning her match?

Billie Starkz w/ Athena VS Trish Adora!

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and Billie circles with Trish. Billie holds her hand up to call for knuckle locks, and Trish obliges, but then Billie changes hands. And switches hands again. And again! Trish gets that hand, wrenches and WRINGS Billie, then wrenches and WRINGS her the other way! Billie bails out, Athena wants time, and Athena coaches Billie to get in there and kick Trish in the face! Or else Athena kicks Billie in the face!

She stomps and kicks and stomps more, but Trish blocks! Trish BOOTS and BOOTS and BOOTS! Trish eggs Billie on, but Billie spins her to knee SMASH and HEEL KICK! Then waistlock, but Trish switches! Billie fights the lift, but Trish powers through to a GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Billie survives but fans rally up for her. Trish storms up on Billie, fans duel, and Trish ROCKS Billie! And ROCKS her again! Billie dodges but Trish ROLLING ELBOWS!

Billie goes to a corner, Athena tells her to get it together, but Trish hits a SPLASH! Billie sits down, Trish gives her a point-blank HIP ATTACK! And another, and another, and another!

Lee Johnson VS Darius Martin!

Big Shotty’s been struggling to get going in ROH, but he hasn’t given up either! Will he be able to hit the bull’s eye here tonight? Or will the Air Wolf take off in his own singles aspirations?

The Code of Honor is upheld and they even hug before the bell. The fans applaud as the two circle. They tie up, Darius wrenches and wristlocks, but Johnson rolls, kips up and wrenches back. Darius slips around, headlocks, chinbars, then keeps on the headlock. Johnson powers his way out the back, headlocks in return, but Darius powers out. Johnson runs Darius over but Darius is right up, only for Johnson to headlock takeover. Darius headscissors, Johnson kips free. Roles reverses as Darius headlocks for the takeover and then Johnson headscissors. Darius kips free, he sweeps and covers, ONE!

Johnson sweeps, covers, TWO! Darius and Johnson stand, and they shake hands again. Fans cheer the exchange and the sportsmanship as the two reset. They tie up, Darius headlocks, but Johnson powers up and out. Darius sunset flips, Johnson rolls through and basement dropkicks! Darius goes to ropes while Johnson pumps up.

Darius whips, Johnson reverses and DROPKICKS! Big Shotty flexes and fans rally up. Cover, TWO! We see Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty watching this match. They got the better of Johnson in 1v1 matches, what’re they scouting him for? Johnson squeezes Darius with a chinlock and fans rally for “BOTH THESE GUYS!” Darius fights up, pries the hold open, and headlocks in return! Johnson shoves free, Darius turns the dropdown into a kickflip and BIG back suplex! Fans fire up while both men are down! The ref starts a standing count while both men stir. They both rise at 5 of 10, and head for each other!

Darius blocks shots, fires shots, but Johnson ducks a kick and jumps the sweep! Johnson ROCKS Darius, but Darius CHOPS back! Darius dodges, runs, turns hurdle into atomic drop, then he runs to BULLDOG in the ropes! GAMANGIRI! Johnson flops back and fans fire up with Darius, he steps in to COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, TWO! Johnson is still in this but Darius stays focused. “This is Awesome!” as Darius suplexes. Johnson slips free, waistlocks, but Darius elbows free! Only for Johnson to GERMAN SUPLEX! And then another clinch, BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!!

Darius survives and Johnson is stunned! Johnson pounds the mat, fires himself up, and he runs in to UPPERCUT at the corner! Johnson keeps moving, Darius follows but Johnson ROCKS him! Johnson runs in but Darius dodges the splash! Darius steps in, into a SUPERKICK! Johnson reels Darius in but Darius suplexes first! Darius goes up to FROG SPLASH! Cover, Darius wins!

Winner: Darius Martin, by pinfall

Big Shotty couldn’t hit the mark, and now Air Wolf is picking up speed! Darius shows his friend respect with the Code of Honor, is the fight far from over for Johnson?

 

Fatal 4 Way Tag: Shane Taylor Promotions VS The Workhorsemen VS The Iron Savages w/ Jacked Jameson VS Cole Karter & Griff Garrison w/ Maria Kanellis-Bennett!

This is a huge match for the ROH Tag Division! We just saw Big Bad Shaney T. and #TAIGASTYLE watching from backstage, but now they’re in action against JD Drake & Anthony Henry, as well as Dirty Bulk Bronson & Beefcake Boulder, as well as the Ivy League MVP and Diamond in the Rough.

In this kind of Fatal 4, only two teams are legal at a time. Lee Moriarty and Anthony Henry uphold the Code of Honor, the bell rings, and the two circle.

Henry KICKS Karter in the back, then storms up on him, but Karter scrambles away. Griff hops off the apron? He’s not about to get in there with the Saint of Augusta. Karter says fine, and he tags in Bronson. Bronson and Henry tie up, Henry headlocks but Bronson powers out! Bronson says nope! He gonna motorboat! But Henry SLAPS Bronson! Bronson runs in but Henry arm-drags him to the corner! Henry runs in to forearm smash while he tags JD. Henry snapmares Bronson down, NECK TWISTS, and then JD slingshot SENTONS! Fans rally as JD taunts the savage sauce. Bronson throws a forearm, but JD ROCKS Bronson!

Karter took his eye off the ball, and that allowed Bad Boy Shaney T. to knock it out the park! Will STP finally have those ROH World Tag Team Championships? Or will MJF stay strong for his brochacho?

 

Six Man Tag: Gravity, Komander & Metalik w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Gringo Loco & Spanish Announce Project!

The league of super luchadores is back in action again in what will surely be a fast and furious main event! Will the Astronaut, the Commander and the King of the Ropes have a fiesta in Seattle? Or will the Crazy White Boy make a strong third for Angelico y Serpentico?

Abrahantes celebrates with his stable! Combine this with Rey Fenix being AEW International Champion, is lucha libre going to take over the world?


My Thoughts:

A good episode of ROH, but it was over two hours. I can’t keep doing these if they’re not going to be consistent in length. Also, the match order kinda didn’t make sense, which is sadly how ROH just is, apparently. The women’s title opening, and we still have Athena doing a vignette with Billie and Lexi? The title match was awesome stuff, and the vignette was hilarious, but it just feels like the order was backwards. Give us the vignette first, then Billie’s match, then Athena VS Leyla in the main event because that has a title and story all in it. Not that the Six Man Tag main event wasn’t a lot of fun, but it didn’t have story. Story based main event is superior to fun filler main event.

Really good Fatal 4 Way Tag, but I figured Shane & Moriarty were going to win after they also were watching Johnson. Johnson VS Darius was also a great match, and Darius winning made sense, too. Johnson might get to the point where he actually joins up with Shane Taylor Promotions after seeing Shane & Moriarty get ahead. Ethan Page of course wins against Khash, but I was surprised he called out Eddie Kingston. The sad thing is, as I just said last night for Dynamite, more ROH stuff gets done on AEW programming than on ROH TV, because Johnny TV, Komander, Pentagon and Lince Dorado are the contender’s match on Rampage, no Ethan to be found.

And then, while the other matches were a lot of fun, they were a lot of filler, too. Woods gets another win to build towards the Pure Championship, but also kinda biding time. Daniels VS Rocky was a roundabout way to add to Daniels’ story, I guess. TMDK gets a great match and great win off Infantry, but I don’t want AEW/ROH dragging in more NJPW people when they can’t even use their AEW/ROH people all that well. If TMDK is gonna be stateside, they should just be in NJPW Strong. Kojima and Nese had a really fun segment, especially with Seattle enjoying the bread stuff. ROH was recorded on the same night as Collision, so this explains why Seattle was so ready for bread on Sunday. Great win for Kojima off Nese, though this might’ve just been for the fitness trend of hating on bread.

The Six Woman Tag was to keep Willow, Kiera & Skye strong, and I’m curious to see what happens with how Willow and Skye were both misted. And when the House of Black mists you, something happens to you, aka a Heel turn. It’s what happened to Julia Hart, so maybe it happens to Skye? Skye seemed gloomier than Willow, so it should be Skye turning to stay fresh, and then Willow is the one with a strong enough optimism to stay away from the House of Black.

My Score: 8.5/10

Parking Lot Brawl: Trent Beretta VS Chuck Taylor!

Years of friendship, thrown away, and why? Because #JustTrent had a problem with Freshly Squeezed having more success in AEW than them? Because #JustTrent had a problem with Cassidy as a person? Because #JustTrent turned out to be the selfish one in the relationship? Well, then will #JustTrent get his ass kicked? Or will he take advantage of how Chuckie T. is a Kentucky Gentleman?

Mitchell’s AEW Collision Results & Report! (4/27/24)

It’s a slam dunk!

Published

on

Guns up for all the Jacksonville Gold Members!

Another three hour block of All Elite Wrestling starts with a Collision! But will the Bang Bang Gang still be the best three man unit ever? Or will Top Flight go from the coldest to the goldest trio in the game?

OFFICIAL RESULTS

  • Unified AEW & ROH World Trios Championships: Bullet Club Gold VS Top Flight; Bullet Club Gold wins and retains the titles.
  • Rey Fenix w/ Alex Abrahantes VS The Beast Mortos; Fenix wins.
  • Rush VS Martin Stone; wins.

  • The Acclaimed VS Grizzled Young Veterans; The Acclaimed win.
  • AEW World Championship: Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Claudio Castagnoli; Swerve wins and retains the title.

PLAY BY PLAY

Swerve Strickland is here!

Prince Nana again leads the way as the NEW AEW World Champion makes his way out here. The Realest opened Dynamite with a win, but he walks back out to Daily’s Place to stand in the ring to finally acknowledge his victory at Dynasty. Nana says, “Ladies and gentlemen, the man standing in front of you today is the Boss of Bosses! The man standing in front of you today is the Anointed One in Professional Wrestling! The man standing in front of you is one hell of a wrestler. And he’s none other than the AEW World Heavyweight Champion, Swerve Strickland!” The fans cheer and chant, “Thank You, Swerve!”

Swerve says what a week we’ve had here in AEW! Let’s run it down: a NEW TBS Champion in Willow Nightingale; by the grace of God, Adam Cole can walk; Adam Copeland got misted in the face by The House of Black; Will Ospreay and Bryan Danielson tore the house down; and then… Jack Perry returned. The fans boo but Swerve says Jack’s back in AEW, and he struck Tony Khan, the founder of AEW, who put his faith in Swerve. On top of that, The EVPs, the Young Bucks are again the AEW World Tag Team Champions, and they hit Tony Khan with the whatever it is driver, and now TK is in a neck brace and who knows when we’ll see him in healthy condition.

Now, Swerve will be the first to tell everyone, he’s done some horrible things. Once, twice, three, four times. But something about four elite athletes beating down a non-fighter in TK, that sounds like a b*tch move to him. The fans echo “B*TCH MOVE!” but Swerve wants to get to business. The most important thing that happened this week is Swerve went into Dynasty and he made history by dethroning Samoa Joe and becoming the NEW AEW World Champion! Now, a pet peeve of his is those going around calling themselves “Best in the World.” But make no mistake, the Best in the World is the one holding this title right here!

Last week, it was Samoa Joe. This week, it’s Swerve, baby. And Swerve got here by fighting, but also by making sacrifices. Swerve says the night he won this title, he went to his daughter. She said, “Dad, I love you, I’m so proud of you. But I feel like I just don’t know you.” That hit Swerve to his core. His relationship with his children is everything. But he’s missed birthdays, holidays, basketball games, dance recitals, Father-Daughter dances, and he can’t make up for lost time. But what he can do is set the example and blaze a trail, to make sure this was all worth it. The fans cheer that!

Swerve continues by saying AEW has set people in front of him and he’s knocked them all down! Kyle Fletcher was just one. Now, how about an Open Challenge for the AEW World Championship? But only to someone who really wants to fight! So how about it, Jacksonville? We’re entering a new era in AEW, the Dynasty Era! And the elite of that era is whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” But then here comes Claudio Castagnoli! The Swiss Superman is in a suit, not his gear, but he does get in the ring. Claudio circles Swerve, then takes the mic and holds up a finger. The fans still chant, but Claudio says, “You’re on.”

Swerve says see you later tonight then, in whose house? But then Claudio snatches the mic again! “It’s gonna be mine.” The fans are intrigued but Claudio is looking to end Swerve’s Dynasty the same week it started! Will the Swiss Superman bring even more gold to the Blackpool Combat Club?

 

Tony Khan has a medical update.

He is feeling grateful and blessed that he can still walk, talk and work, as was seen during the NFL Draft with Tony Khan alongside his father, Shahid, in the Jacksonville Jaguars war room. However, the doctors have advised TK not to travel, so he will be monitoring AEW Dynamite in Winnipeg remotely. Will that mean The EVPs will be in control of things in person this Wednesday…?

 

Unified AEW & ROH World Trios Championships: Bullet Club Gold VS Top Flight!

When it comes to Six Man Tags, the Bang Bang Gang runs this! But while they have six belts for the three of them, will that only weigh them all down against one of the fastest moving and fastest rising teams? Or will Jay White & The Gunns shoot Action, Darius & Dante outta the sky?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who holds all the trios gold!

The trios sort out, White starts against Dante and the two talk a little trash over how the Casino Gauntlet went on Wednesday. The fans rally for Angel Dorado as he ties up with the Switchblade, but White headlocks. Dante powers up and out, but White runs him over! White bumps Dante off buckles, but Dante dodges to fire off forearms! White knees low, bumps Dante off buckles again, but Dante dodges to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP again! Dante whips corner to corner, White reverses, but Dante BOOTS back! Dante runs up to CHOP! And CHOP! White swings, Dante ducks to KICK, KICK and KICK!

White blocks a kick to DRAGON SCREW the leg! Dante writhes, White drags him up, and White CHOPS Dante to the corner. White CHOPS again, brings Dante over and tags in Colten. They mug Dante, then Colten sucker punches Action! Colten tags Austin, they whip Dante to body shot, knee lift, and LARIAT! Cover, TWO! The fans taunt the “ASS~ BOYS!” but Austin drags Dante up. Austin bumps Dante off buckles, tags White, and White RAMS into Dante again and again! White hushes everyone, to CHOP! Dante sits down, Colten tags in, and Colten drags Dante up to suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO!

Colten keeps Dante from his team, then tags Austin. The Gunns mug Dante, then Austin whips. Dante holds ropes, BOOTS Austin, then DECKS Colten! But White trips Dante up!

Shibata “says,” Rampage will see him take on STP alone. But then Daniel Garcia steps in. Garcia tells Shibata-san that he has respect for him. If Shibata needs help against STP, Garcia will help him. What does he say?

Shibata takes a moment to type it out, and says okay. Save the last dance for him. Garcia nods and dances his way off screen. Will the Dragonslayer help The Wrestler take the fight to Big Bad Shaney T. Boy?
