PLAY BY PLAY
ROH has footage from last night’s AEW Dynamite.
The ROH Board of Directors member, Stokely Hathaway, introduces himself while backstage on Dynamite, and he has some “interesting” news. We can see the AEW logos and yet there’s no Eddie Kingston. There will also be no Eddie on ROH, and even no Eddie on Rampage, because your ROH World Champion is temporarily suspended! Why? Because Eddie had the audacity, the temerity, words Stokely knows Eddie does NOT know, but Eddie thought he could just put his hands on Stokely! Stokely is of course referring to when Eddie pushed him aside to get in Jeff Jarrett’s face ahead of their Memphis Street Fight.
But Stokely says Eddie walks around here, telling the entire locker room that he’s going to beat Stokely’s ass? That’s crazy! Stokely fears for his life, so Eddie can’t get his hands on Stokely if Eddie isn’t at work. Eddie’s been in a lot of lines, from title opportunity lines to big match lines, but if Eddie tries to touch Stokely again, the next line he’s going to end up in is the unemployment line. Enjoy the show, everyone! #BigStoke has put out the ultimatum, will the Mad King behave himself when he’s back from suspension?
The Righteous VS Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal!
Vincent & Dutch are still in pursuit of the ROH World Tag Team Championships, but they have to fight their way back up to challenge MJF again. Will the Fallen Angel & Third Eye Reborn be sacrifices towards that goal? Or will these former tag champions show everyone they’ve still got it?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the teams sort out, and Dutch starts against Daniels. Fans rally up for Daniels but Dutch has that creepy smile on his face. They circle, tie up, and Dutch powers Daniels to a corner. The ref counts, Dutch lets off slowly, and he smooths fingers on Daniels’ face before flicking that tongue. Daniels gets around, kicks Dutch’s leg out and headlocks. Daniels grinds the hold, Dutch powers out, but Daniels RAMS him! Dutch stays up but Daniels kicks and kicks and kicks the leg. Daniels CLUBS away with elbows, then runs, but Dutch runs him over! Fans rally but Dutch taunts Sydal with the tongue.
Dutch scoops Daniels to SLAMS him! Fans rally but Dutch says death falls tonight in Connecticut. Dutch whips, but Daniels drop toeholds him onto ropes! And HIP ATTACKS!

MJF may be ROH World Tag Team Champion now, set to defend those belts against Austin & Colten Gunn, will The Devil survive Tinsel Town only to have a Final Battle with The Righteous? And speaking of The Gunns, can Daniels & Sydal rebound from here to be ready for them on Rampage?
Backstage interview with Ethan Page.
Lexi Nair is with All Ego, and he has his big match against Josh Woods. From her understanding, Ethan is still upset about how things went with him and Tony Nese. Yeah, he is still upset about that. And to be honest, old Ethan would’ve reacted in a very, very negative way, and done things he would’ve regretted. But in ROH, Ethan said that he is turning over a new leaf and is doing things the right way. So Ethan hopes and prays that Tony Nese is watching tonight, because he wasted and squandered that title opportunity he stole from Ethan after Ethan’s five match win streak!
If that was Ethan in there against Samoa Joe, as he rightfully deserved, ETHAN would be the ROH World Television Champion! But instead, he has a match with Josh Woods. “Good. Because everything I do to him tonight, Tony, I’ll be thinking of you. I will be envisioning you! Because right now, I dream of getting my hands on you! Enjoy the show, Tony Nese, because I’m gonna make sure I put one on for you. So yes, Lexi, I am still upset. But I’m excited for my match tonight.” Will All Ego tear down Woods to get his payback on the Premier Athlete?
Leyla Hirsch VS Robyn Renegade w/ Charlette Renegade!
Just as she was finally ready to accept Maria Kanellis-Bennett’s help, the First Lady of Wrestling said no. Will Leyla prove she is still a LEGIT prospect for The Kingdom’s Army? Or will this Renegade take her down?
The Code of Honor is barely upheld, and the bell rings. Robyn shoves Leyla, taunts her for her height, but Leyla trips her and fires off forearms! Fans fire up, Robyn gets away and bails out, but Leyla pursues. Charlette gets in Leyla’s way, but Leyla pushes her aside, only for Robyn to SUPERKICK!

But Leyla puts Robyn in the corner to fire off forearms! Robyn CLUBS Leyla, puts her back in the corner and CHOPS again! Robyn whips, Leyla reverses and swings, but Robyn gets around!

Winner: Leyla Hirsch, by submission
Charlette rushes in to stomp and CLUB Leyla! Fans boo, but here comes Rachael Ellering! Rachael beat Robyn Renegade last week and she won’t let the sisters bully anyone! The Renegades run off, but Leyla pushes Rachael away. Leyla doesn’t want anyone else’s help when it comes to being in the ring, but will that only hurt her progress back towards title opportunities?
Lee Moriarty VS Darius Martin!
Don’t adjust your screens or get your eyes checked, we are getting #TAIGASTYLE VS Air Wolf again, but there’s something very different from their last match. Shane Taylor is BANNED from ringside given his part in Moriarty’s win last week, will he have to find a way to win on his own? Or will Darius win now that this is a fair fight?
The Code of Honor is skipped and the bell rings. The two tie up, go around, and even roll on the mat. Moriarty waistlocks, Darius wrenches out to cravat, but Moriarty spins free.

Ethan Page VS Josh Woods w/ Mark Sterling!
We heard the fire inside All Ego, and it will not go out until he gets even with Tony Nese. Will that fire burn down Woods? Or will the Technical Beast extinguish Ethan on Nese’s behalf?

Fatal 4 Way: Slim J VS Gringo Loco VS Metalik VS Angelico!
The OG OG and the Crazy White Boy were just in a Fatal 4 Way last week, but neither won it. Will things be no different now that the King of the Ropes and the South African Stud are here? Or will someone ruin Angelico’s momentum as #1 contender?

Sonjay Dutt speaks.
“Twenty-some years ago, I met Jay Lethal for the first time, who went on to be my best friend in this world. A man that means more to me than anybody else here. And around that same time, Eddie, I met you. And I quickly figured out that you two were totally opposite. Two diametrically opposite people. Jay Lethal: a pure wrestler, one who could go in the ring with anybody, with any style, and excel. And you, Eddie Kingston, what do we call somebody like you? A garbage wrestler, Eddie. That’s all you’ve been, that’s all you’ve done your entire career. And now, you parade with that ROH World title.
“You try to bring honor to something which has no honor. You have no honor, Eddie Kingston.” Stokely steps in and says he agrees with Sonjay. Eddie has no honor at all. Stokely says Triple J did an excellent job whooping Eddie’s ass in that Memphis Street Fight. Sonjay says damn right they did. Stokely apologizes for not being there to see it, he was at the club. But next time, he will just like he’s supposed to be. They’ll talk. Stokely turns to leave but Sonjay grabs Stokely’s shirt and reels him back in. Stokely asks why he has to grab the shirt like that, but Sonjay asks if Stokely forgot something.
Oh, right! Jamar! Yeah- No. You do not call Lethal that. You do not call Lethal by his government name, Eddie. Right, sorry, Stokely meant Jay. But Sonjay wants Stokely to circle back to how Jeff Jarrett, “The King of Memphis,” beat Eddie. Stokely sings Jarrett’s theme and Sonjay says yeah, that’s his jam. But now, Lethal is owed that title shot. When and where is he getting it? Oh, right, that. Stokely says he’ll go back to the office, talk with his secretary, get the paperwork, because they’re busy hashing out health benefit stuff, but his secretary will email them the contract. What? Email? When did Stokely get Sonjay’s email!?
Stokely hurries away but Sonjay hurries after, will these two hash out the deal for the ROH World Championship match?
Four Corner Survival Tag: The Gates of Agony w/ Prince Nana VS The Wingmen VS The Iron Savages VS The Infantry!

Jameson doesn’t hear him as he gets through “beefy and bulky, jacked and juicy!” Avalon says he is sick of the “swollen patrollin’!” Avalon has a question, but then The Mogul Embassy makes their entrance, Prince Nana accompanying his muscle. Will Avalon & Nemeth just have to let their actions speak for them?

“Pretty” Peter never got to ask his question, but we got the answer: nothing is going to stop the Mogul Embassy until they take over everything. Will they be primed to face whoever leaves Los Angeles as the ROH World Tag Team Champions?
Backstage interview with Leyla Hirsch.
Lexi congratulates Leyla on the win, but then brings up the Renegades attack her. Before Lexi can go on, Rachael walks over and apologizes for interrupting. Rachael just wanted to check if Leyla’s good. Oh, sorry, who are you? Leyla has had such a bad day today and the last thing she needed is someone like Rachael getting involved where she had no right to do. Rachael says fair. First, she’s Rachael Ellering, nice to see you again. Two, she couldn’t help that the one person Leyla wants help from was nowhere to be found. Leyla says yeah, Maria wasn’t here for her. But Leyla vows that next time, Maria will be.
Rachael says okay, but she wasn’t out there to be best friends or with some motive. She just thought it was the right and honorable thing to do. Leyla says Rachael was wrong. Leyla storms off, Rachael apologizes again to Lexi, but will Maria really look to help Leyla next time? Or is it not Rachael who is wrong?

ROH Women’s World Championship: Athena VS Mercedes Martinez w/ Diamante!
The Fallen Angel is the most dominant and longest reigning ROH Women’s Champion ever, but there’s only one OG Badass! This match isn’t just about the world title, this is about the intangible title of baddest in the division! Will Athena’s reign continue to make history? Or is this where the dominance ends?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly badass!
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and Athena ROCKS Mercedes! Athena cheers herself on, then she kicks Mercedes to a corner. Athena fires off furious forearms, the ref counts, and Athena shouts “YOU DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!” Athena then digs her boots in, lets off as the ref counts, and she brings Mercedes up. Mercedes throws body shots but Athena knees low. Athena throws Mercedes down, then stomps her to a corner. Athena digs her boots in, the ref counts, and Athena lets off.

Mercedes bails out but Athena WRECKS her with a dropkick! Fans rally and duel, Athena builds speed, and Athena DIVES! Mercedes hits the desk!
Fans fire up with Athena as she shouts “This is MY show!” Athena drags Mercedes up, thanks her fans for chanting, but Diamante steps forward.

Mercedes then stomps Athena down in the gap! The ref reprimands and counts but Mercedes lets off. Mercedes takes a bow and the fans cheer. Diamante says she needs a chair, and she takes one from the timekeeper! Diamante sets that up while Mercedes beats Athena down. Then Mercedes makes Athena sit in the chair, upside-down!
Mercedes goes up the barriers while Athena’s in an almost Tree of Woe position! Mercedes aims, but Athena grabs an arm! She brings Mercedes into range for kicks! Mercedes wobbles, Athena stands up, and now the two brawl on the barrier’s edge! Athena fires HEABUTT after HEADBUTT, then she brings Mercedes up! SUPERPLEXÂ to the floor!

They’re wearing an AEW hoodie but who is that?!
Athena reels Mercedes in, Canadian Rack, WIGSPLITTER!! Cover, Athena wins!!
Winner: Athena, by pinfall (still ROH Women’s World Champion)
41-0 in singles competition, and the culprit of that belt shot… WAS BILLIE STARKZ!! Even after Athena tearing her down emotionally, The Minion saved her Overlord? Billie brings the belt into the ring, but she does look at it longingly. Athena is on guard, but Billie still kneels to present the belt to her. Athena takes the belt, and she has Billie stand. Now Billie is proving herself. But still no high-fives. Will Billie ever break away from the Fallen Goddess? Or will she make sure Athena reigns forever?
My Thoughts:
A very good episode of ROH, even for being short of two hours. That’s because it felt like more matches mattered than just last week’s episode, and the majority of the matches were just the right length. I did skip Ellering squashing LMK, Kiera beating Charlette and that Triple Threat, though I feel like I could’ve kept the Triple Threat over the opening match of Righteous beating Daniels & Sydal. Shane Taylor was watching the Triple Threat because he is still interested in Lee Johnson’s development for the sake of putting him in Shane Taylor Promotions. And therefore, Lee losing that is good stuff because Shane’s probably gonna get on Lee’s case.
Well, he’s also gonna get on Lee Moriarty’s case since he lost against Darius in the rematch. Moriarty VS Darius part 3 will be great stuff, and maybe we get Shane VS Johnson to bring this story full circle, and then we get Shane Taylor Promotions as a new trio with Shane and two Lees building momentum. Especially now with the ROH World Six Man Tag Championships back on Mogul Embassy. Great Four Corners tag, but of course Gates won. I bet they don’t even beat MJF for the belts because by the time we get to Final Battle, either Adam Cole is back or Samoa Joe is MJF’s substitute partner or something like that.
Good stuff with Leyla’s story, and it is interesting to me that it was Ellering making the save against the Renegades, not Kiera given Kiera was the one facing Charlette. But it does give Ellering something to do, which is great, and maybe somehow, someway, Ellering gets Leyla to understand Maria is no good for her. Plus, Leyla & Ellering VS Renegades is a good women’s tag match, even with no ROH Women’s Tag titles in existence. Or if that doesn’t work, Leyla VS Ellering with Maria essentially offering a spot in The Kingdom’s Army to the winner. And really good stuff in Ethan Page’s story, but sigh, of course Sterling’s group cheats to win. Maybe Ethan finds a friend to help get tag team revenge, and that could be Scorpio Sky since he’s also dabbled in ROH lately.
Great Fatal 4 singles match, but I figured Angelico would win that to keep his momentum up before going after Eddie Kingston. Stokely suspending Eddie is a fitting Heel authority move, but I also like that he isn’t really playing along with Lethal’s side, either. Stokely might make the ROH World title for Final Battle. They’re giving us Final Battle on Honor Club, no paywalls other than signing up for Honor Club, so if they’re making a push for subscriptions, put the biggest matches on that card. Eddie VS Lethal for world title, maybe Angelico tries to Money in the Bank cash-in his title match after Eddie makes it past Lethal.
Great 8 Man Tag and I really liked Gravity having parts of his gear match the usual purple pattering Castle and The Boys use. Great win for the Faces, too, and I appreciate Griff & Karter are meshing as a team. Much like we need Eddie VS Lethal on an ROH branded program like Final Battle, Samoa Joe VS Dalton Castle for the ROH World TV Championship needs to happen on ROH programming, and like, yesterday! They dragged this story out because they also want Joe to go after MJF and the AEW World Championship, THE top championship because ROH is AEW’s NXT now, not at all caring that Joe is still a champion in ROH.
And we got great stuff in the main event tonight, Athena and Mercedes were both equally Face, Heel and Tweener tonight because the Mohegan Sun is in Connecticut, where Mercedes is from, but Athena is super popular. What a wild move for Billie to start believing in the dark side and cheating on Athena’s behalf. Billie looking at the belt was a good tease that she could’ve turned on Athena then and there, but they’re extending this story a bit longer. Maybe Billie turns on Athena in time before Final Battle to set that up as a title match to make the card even bigger.
My Score: 8.6/10

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.

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!

Okada bails out and the fans boo. Briscoe waits on Okada while commentary tells Callis he and Okada committed the most despicable thing in all of wrestling. Callis of course says it was the most shrewd tactical move in the history of wrestling. Okada takes his time returning into the ring, and then he circles with Briscoe. They tie up and are in a deadlock. They go around, Okada puts Briscoe on the ropes, but he lets off slowly.
Okada fakes the chop, and pats Briscoe on the shoulders. The fans are torn, but Briscoe kicks Okada and TOSSES him! The fans cheer as Briscoe builds speed, but Okada steps aside so Briscoe can’t dive. Briscoe gives chase, though, and they go around the outside. They slide back in, and Okada CLOBBERS Briscoe! The fans are torn as Okada CLUBS away. Okada fires forearms, storms up to stomp Briscoe in the corner, and then ELBOWS him! The fans are torn but Okada brings Briscoe around for a BIG back suplex. But Briscoe lands out, and hits the Crane Stance! Okada takes a swing, Briscoe ducks, and Briscoe CHOPS!
Briscoe whips, Okada reverses, but Briscoe slides under the boot! Crane Stance! Crane feint, then the CRANE KICK! The fans fire up as Briscoe stands up in his Redneck Kung-Fu stance. Briscoe stands Okada up to ROCK with a haymaker, then ROCKS him again. Okada staggers, Briscoe is on him with a CHOP! The fans “WOO~” and Callis acknowledges those heavy hands of Briscoe’s. Briscoe bumps Okada off buckles, stomps a mudhole, then stops as the ref counts 4. Briscoe then grinds his forearm into Okada’s face! The ref counts again, Briscoe stops at 4, and he whips corner to corner. Okada reverses but Briscoe goes up and out.
Okada runs up but Briscoe blocks a shot to ROCK Okada! Briscoe then RAMS into Okada, throws him out of the ring, and then DIVES! Direct hit and the fans fire up! Briscoe high-fives the front row before he puts Okada in the ring. Okada goes to a corner, Briscoe runs up and LARIATS! Briscoe goes corner to corner again, but Okada BOOTS him! Briscoe just fires up! Okada dodges this time, and he hoists Briscoe up to DROPKICK him down to the floor! The fans fire up while Grand Slam goes picture in picture.
Okada waits while Briscoe is down and out. A ring count starts, Briscoe stirs, but then Okada goes out to fetch Briscoe. Briscoe fires body shots but Okada kicks low! DDT to the floor! Okada leaves Briscoe behind and the ring count starts again. Briscoe rises up, leans on commentary, and he tells Callis off before he goes to the ring at 6 of 10. Okada is on Briscoe with another DDT! Cover, TWO! Briscoe toughs it out and Okada is annoyed. Okada stalks Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe kicks low! Okada ELBOWS Briscoe, whips corner to corner, then runs in and ELBOWS Briscoe down! Okada paces while soaking up cheers and jeers.
Okada goes back to Briscoe and drags him up. Okada reels Briscoe in, turns him, and hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Briscoe is still in this and he rises up. Okada is on him with a chinlock and bends him back! Briscoe endures as Okada leans on the hold, and Briscoe fights around to stand back up. But Okada drags Briscoe back down! Briscoe still fights, Grand Slam returns to single picture, and the fans rally up. Briscoe rises again, fires body shots, then runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Okada hits a FLAPJACK! Okada is ice cold while the fans fire up. Okada brings Briscoe up, gut wrenches, but Briscoe fights to a victory roll! TWO!
Okada runs up, Briscoe waistlocks, but Okada switches. Briscoe breaks free to PELE! Both men are down and the fans fire up again! Briscoe pounds the mat and the fans rally. Briscoe rises, Okada stands, and they throw forearms back and forth! Briscoe ROCKS Okada, and Okada comes back to CLAW Briscoe’s eyes! Okada whips, but Briscoe reverses and CHOPS! Briscoe fires forearms, then whips. Okada reverses but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up again and both men rise up. Briscoe winds up to LARIAT in the corner! Briscoe brings Okada out to a FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!
The fans fire up as Okada stays in this! Briscoe clutches his neck but he brings Okada back up. Okada fights the clinch, the fans duel, and Okada puts Briscoe on ropes. Okada whips, Briscoe FLIPS through the backdrop! The fans fire up and Okada thinks it is for him. But he turns around into a REDNECK UPPERCUT!

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.

Yuta gets away with that, and Moxley tags Nick. Nick goes up to AX HANDLE Ospreay! Tag to Matt and the Bucks double whip. They DOUBLE ELBOW, hit their pose, then stomp away on Ospreay. Matt rains down fists, then BITES Ospreay’s forehead! Matt tries to rip that bandage away but it’s on there tight. The ref reprimands but Matt keeps between Ospreay and his team. Matt stands Ospreay up but Ospreay CHOPS Matt! And CHOPS again! Matt RAMS Ospreay to the corner, Yuta tags in, and they mug Ospreay. Yuta rains down fists, then stalks Ospreay. Yuta grabs a leg, hits a spinning toehold, then ties the legs up in a DEATHLOCK!
Yuta bridges back to put on the pressure! Ospreay endures, Yuta flips off the fans, and then Yuta tags Moxley in. Ospreay is stuck and Moxley stomps him right down! The ref reprimands but Yuta lets Ospreay go. Grand Slam returns to single picture and Ospreay fires hands. Moxley fires back, the fans rally for Ospreay, but Moxley scoops to SLAM! Cover, TWO! Moxley stays on Ospreay with another cover, TWO! Moxley has the arm, DOUBLE WRISTLOCK! Ospreay endures as it becomes a KIMURA! Ospreay still fights up and the fans rally! Ospreay’s entire team reaches out, but Moxley pulls Ospreay’s hair! Moxley shoves Ospreay away to then sucker punch Swerve!
Hobbs storms in but the ref keeps him back. Ospreay CHOPS away on Moxley! Moxley shoots around to have a SLEEPER! Ospreay slips out the back to back suplex, but Moxley fights with elbows! Moxley whips, Ospreay handsprings, NEURALIZER KICK! Moxley wobbles but falls, and Ospreay crawls! Hot tags to Yuta and Hobbs! The fans fire up as Hobbs CLOBBERS Yuta, BLASTS The Bucks, and then picks Yuta up to RAM him into a corner! The fans fire up as Hobbs shouts, “MEAT!” The fans fire up and Hobbs fires those point-blank LARIATS! Hobbs goes past DIEZ to hit TRECE! That’s 13!
Hobbs then brings Yuta out to short arm LARIAT! The fans fire up as the straps come down! But The Bucks kick low! The Bucks DOUBLE CHOP, but that just pisses Hobbs off! The Bucks apologize but the fans tell them they messed up. Hobbs blocks a superkick, then the other! The Bucks want mercy, but Hobbs goes to guzels! But Yuta jumps on for a SLEEPER! Joe wants in, the ref has him stop, but this lets Moxley sneak in! Mox kicks Hobbs low! Hobbs lets the Bucks go, Mox & Yuta double whip. Hobbs breaks through that double lariat to DOUBLE LARIAT The Bucks! The fans fire up as Hobbs then DOUBLE LARIATS Yuta & Moxley!
Ospreay & Swerve hurry to DOUBLE PLANCHA The Bucks! Shibata tags in, he whips Yuta to a corner. Shibata sends Hobbs in for a SPLASH! Then Shibata adds his HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! The fans fire up and Shibata HALF HATCH SUPLEXES Yuta! Hobbs scoops Yuta for a POWERSLAM! Shibata covers but Mortos breaks it! Hobbs returns, Mortos dodges him and SPEARS Hobbs down!! Then a HEADBUTT for Shibata! Mortos keeps going, TORNILLO TOPE onto Hobbs!! Mortos gets back in and LARIATS Shibata! The fans fire up but here comes Joe! Joe fires forearms back and forth with Mortos!
The fans rally, Joe fires a flurry, but Mortos kicks low! Mortos whips Joe to the corner, runs in, but Joe URENAGES Mortos down! Nick SHINING WIZARDS! Matt cravats Joe and Nick helps with the SLICED BREAD! BASEMENT SUPERKICK! But Ospreay springboards in! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for Ospreay! Then they have the wrists, E V P- NO, Ospreay kips up, gets loose, and DOUBLE OSCUTTERS!! Swerve joins in, FOSBURY FLOP onto the Bucks! The fans are thunderous, Nana does his dance, and Ospreay turns around into a BUSAIKU KNEE from Yuta! Shibata gets Yuta in a SLEEPER! Yuta snapmares free and ROCKS Shibata!

Winners: The Death Riders, The Young Bucks & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
The Problem is always a factor, but this isn’t done as Yuta & The Bucks beat up on Joe! Then the Bucks SUPERKICK Swerve! Moxley has a SLEEPER on Swerve, then feeds him to the SUPERKICKS! Moxley puts the SLEEPER back on, but HERE COMES HANGMAN!! The Cowboy told us about the ringside ban, but also mentioned that once the match was over, it was fair game! Hangman storms out here, unintentionally saving Swerve, and he glares at Moxley. The fans fire up as Hangman throws off his jacket and rushes the ring! Moxley stands his ground, the two get face to face, and now go fist for fist! Yuta gets in but Hangman DECKS him!
Moxley kicks low! Moxley whips but Hangman goes to the apron! Moxley waits, Hangman slingshots, but then Moxley dodges! BUCKSHOT on Matt! Well, it did hit a Buck, and Nick asks wtf! Hangman says he told them, they stay out of his business or else! But now Moxley has the briefcase! Only for Hangman to spot him first. 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
