The Code of Honor is upheld by everyone but Diamante, and the bell rings. Then Diamante bails out? Adora rolls Kiera up in the distraction, but Willow drags Adora up and turns her, backslide!

Ethan Page VS Tony Nese w/ Mark Sterling!
All Ego got fed up with the Sterling stable cheating him at every turn, so he got some payback when he helped Serpentico out a few weeks ago. The Premier Athlete can dish it out but can’t take it, so will he dish out extra helpings for Thanksgiving? Or will Ethan simply make him eat defeat?
Sterling again has to tell Bobby Cruise to stop before he starts, because his client wants him to tell us that we’re all gonna have to stay fat for one more week. They’ve canceled group training until they deal with Ethan Page! Fans are actually okay with that. But Sterling says Ethan thinks he outsmarted them with that Serpentico crap? He gives Aubrey a prepaid Visa gift card and tells her to call this one down the middle. Sterling continues to say that the loss to Serpentico is being appealed so they can throw it out, and more importantly, Nese is 1-0 against Ethan. After tonight, after they put this whole mess behind them, Nese will be 2-0!
Ethan makes his entrance and Bobby goes back to doing his job. The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the two circle. Fans rally up for Ethan, and the two approach. Nese backs off and goes up a corner to flex so everyone can see what they came here for. Ethan says fine, and so he gets on the corner and fans cheer! Nese says Ethan is just pandering. Ethan says shut up and wrestle! They tie up, go around, Ethan puts Nese in a corner but Nese turns it around. Nese says he is the Premier Athlete, and then he fires off shots!

Nese CLUBS Ethan in return! The fans chant “YOU SHUT UP!” at Sterling now, and Nese frowns. Ethan fights back up, pries at the feet, and he pulls the hold open! The fans rally up and Ethan throws hands! They stand, Ethan ELBOWS Nese, but Nese swings. Ethan counter punches, ROCKS Nese, then whips. Nese reverses but Ethan CLOBBERS him!

Fans boo, but Ethan drags Sterling up by his tie! Sterling begs for mercy, Aubrey has Ethan stop. And then she takes the prepaid Visa and SNAPS it! She EJECTS Sterling!! Fans are thunderous, Nese is furious, and Ethan runs up to BOOT!! Cover, Ethan wins!!
Winner: Ethan Page, by pinfall
And vengeance is sweet! Ethan still offers the Code of Honor, but Nese TACKLES him! Fans boo, Aubrey reprimands, and these two scrap! Sterling calls security out and they hurry down to drag Ethan away from Nese! Sterling has Nese stand down, but Ethan gets loose to CLOBBER him! Nese & Sterling bail out while security swarms Ethan again! Sterling threatens to sue, but will this only be settled in the tiebreaker now that Ethan and Nese are 1-1?
Tag Team Fatal 4 Way: The Iron Savages w/ Jacked Jameson VS The Workhorsemen VS The Infantry VS The West Coast Wrecking Crew!
With MJF retaining the ROH World Tag Team Championships at Full Gear, with help from Samoa Joe, that means #BetterThanYouBaybay still hold the gold! So now Bronson & Boulder, JD Drake & Anthony Henry, Captain Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo and Team Filthy’s Royce Isaacs & Jorel Nelson all battle for pole position! Who will rise up to go after MJF & Adam Cole?
In this form of Fatal 4, only two teams are legal at a time, so Scrap Metal steps up against #BadNews&Tattoos. They shake hands for the Code of Honor, the bell rings, and Carlie wants to do some two step with JD. JD dares Carlie to take a shot. Well, okay, here goes. Carlie CHOPS, then fires up! JD CHOPS and Carlie falls over! The fans fire up, Carlie stands but JD CHOPS him back down! JD stalks Carlie to the ropes, whips him, but Dean tags in. Carlie ducks ‘n’ dodges, jukes and ROCKS JD with that crossover, and Dean ENZIGURIS! Henry jumps in but the Infantry DOUBLE ELBOW him down! Bronson runs in, Infantry dodges to DOUBLE HIP TOSS!
Infantry DOUBLE FIST DROP, and “OORAH!” The fans don’t echo it, Carlie’s a little disappointed. Dean whips, Bronson reverses but Dean ducks ‘n’ dodges, only for Bronson to hit a FLAPJACK! Bronson brings Dean up, and says it is time for #TiddyCity! Fans fire up as Boulder’s straps come down! Dean gets a face full of that BEEF! Dean gets away and Isaacs tags in! Bronson stares down the sculpted body, and they RAM into each other! And RAM again! Fans fire up as the forearms go back and forth! “This is Meaty!” Bronson gets the edge, he BACK ELBOWS Isaacs, and shouts “I’M GONNA BUST!”
Bronson swings, but Isaacs fires off boxing elbows! And a ROUNDHOUSE! Fireman’s carry, and Isaacs RAMS Bronson into the WCWC corner. Nelson tags in, he runs in and SPLASHES!

Backstage interview with Nese & Sterling.
Lexi Nair is with the Premier Athlete & Smart Mark, and she asks them how they’re feeling after things “got out of hand” after the loss to Ethan. Can they explain their actions? Explain their actions? How about Ethan Page explains his actions, huh? They see the mind games, getting Sterling ejected from ringside in the middle of the match, right in front of Nese, all to distract him so Ethan could hit Nese outta nowhere! Nese knows Ethan had that planned from the start because Ethan can’t beat Nese fair and square! So Nese had to do what he had to do to prove why he IS the Premier Athlete and is better than All Ego!
Sterling says that’s very smart. And here’s some facts! One: that loss to Serpentico is thrown out, did not happen! This match with Ethan, according to the record books, as far as Sterling is concerned, didn’t happen! Why? Because Sterling got thrown out! Sterling has a manager’s license! He is licensed to be there ringside for his clients to make sure everything goes smoothly! And what happens the very second Sterling leaves? That referee, Audrey, Aubrey, whatever, she is NOT paying attention! Who runs this place?! Jerry Flynn? Stokely Hathaway? Who knows! Sterling needs answers! Because here in Ontario, California, as far as they’re concerned, that match didn’t happen!
So Ethan Page, they said they were done but now they’re not! Even though Nese proved he’s a better athlete. So see you soon! Well, regardless of what Sterling & Nese think, the match did happen, and the series is tied. Will the tiebreaker happen on the road to Final Battle?
Pure Rules Match: Wheeler Yuta VS Lee Moriarty!
We saw Shibata retain the Pure Championship to open the show, but The Decoder told him just last night to keep an eye on this one. Yuta wants to take back “his” title, will he make the Blackpool Combat Club proud? Or will #TAIGASTYLE represent Shane Taylor Promotions with a win of his own?
The judges now are Jimmy Jacobs, Madison Rayne and Pat Buck. The Code of Honor is upheld. The bell rings, we’re on the clock, and the two circle. They feel things out, tie up, and Yuta wrenches but Moriarty makes it a waistlock. Moriarty spins Yuta to a cravat, but Yuta spins free and the two stand off. The fans chant “YUTA SUCKS!” but he just soaks it up and takes a bow. The two circle again, knuckle lock, and Moriarty steps in and wraps Yuta up in a straitjacket. Yuta endures, frees his leg and he bridges to then turn the straitjacket onto Moriarty. Moriarty moves around, wriggles the jacket down and steps out of it to put it on Yuta.
Yuta endures, fights up, and he arm-drags Moriarty, but they keep the knuckle locks. They go forehead to forehead in their test of strength, but Yuta MONKEY FLIPS!

Yuta resists the Kimura, shifts around, but Moriarty rolls to trap and TWEAK the arm! Then Moriarty shoves Yuta to a corner. Yuta stops himself, but Moriarty KICKS an arm! And then runs to BOOT Yuta down! Fans fire up and Moriarty stomps away on Yuta.
Moriarty drags Yuta up, wrenches an arm, and hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Then a snapmare, and he hooks the arm to TWEAK it again! Moriarty has Yuta trapped in a hammerlock, and fans rally as Moriarty has the other arm, for a RECLINER! Yuta endures, it ends up a cover, TWO! Yuta escapes, shakes out the arm, but Moriarty BOOTS him! Yuta stands to CHOP! Moriarty CHOPS, UPPERCUTS, and he has Yuta in a corner. Moriarty brings Yuta up to wrench the arm again, and he hammerlocks. Yuta resists the half nelson, spins things around, and has an IRON OCTOPUS! Moriarty endures even though fans chant “YUTA SUCKS!”
Moriarty powers out, Yuta sunset flips but Moriarty sits on it! TWO, and Yuta finishes the sunset! TWO!! Moriarty swings, into the PAIN THRILLER! Cover, TWO! Yuta is furious, he throws down forearms, then he kicks Moriarty around. Yuta waistlocks, Moriarty fights the lift! Moriarty arm-drags free, then runs in, but Yuta goes up and over, scoops and SLAMS, then goes right up the corner! FLYING SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Moriarty survives and we reach the five minute mark, one-third of the time limit! Yuta shakes his arms out, clamps onto Moriarty, and rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! But Moriarty uses his leges to catch that arm!
Moriarty drags Yuta down into the BORDER CITY STRETCH!! The fans rally up w3hile Yuta endures, and Yuta reaches out. Yuta rolls to a cradle, TWO!! Moriarty is free, but Yuta CHOPS! Moriarty wrenches an arm, and has the fingers! Moriarty SNAPS them! Yuta goes to a corner, Moriarty runs in to JUMP KICK! Moriarty puts Yuta up top, UPPERCUTS him, and then climbs. But Yuta BITES Moriarty’s forehead! The ref reprimands, but then Moriarty BITES Yuta’s forehead! Fans fire up and the ref reprimands again. Moriarty brings Yuta up to the very top, SUPER DUPER PLEX!! Fans fire up while both men are down!
A standing count starts but Moriarty is stirring. Moriarty crawls towards Yuta but Yuta sits up. They both stand at 5 of 10, and Yuta ROCKS Moriarty! But that was a closed fist, that’s his one warning! Yuta storms up, but Moriarty ROCKS Yuta right back! Now that’s Moriarty’s one warning! Yuta ROCKS Moriarty with a forearm, so Moriarty throws a forearm! They go back and forth, fans fire up as they go faster and faster! Moriarty shoves, BOOTS, Yuta rewinds and shoots around, SNAP GERMAN! Moriarty rises up to SNAP GERMAN in return! Both men rise, Moriarty waistlocks but Yuta switches! GERMAN SUPLEX with a bridge! TWO!!
Moriarty has the arm! Wrench and clinch, but Yuta BITES the hand! The ref reprimands but Yuta drags Moriarty down! Turn and hook, but Moriarty slips out to the seatbelt, into HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS!! Yuta then drags Moriarty around into the SEATBELT!! Yuta wins!
Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall
In 8 minutes and 35 seconds, The Decoder solves Taiga Style! Yuta is keeping pace with the man he says holds “his” Pure Championship, but will he be ready for his rematch with The Wrestler?
Fatal 4 Way: Jack Cartwheel VS Fred Rosser VS Willie Mack VS Lee Johnson!
While Eddie Kingston is willingly putting up the ROH World and NJPW Strong Championships as part of the inaugural Continental Classic, the forces of ROH and NJPW Strong converge in this match! Who puts their name in the conversation for challenging the future Continental Triple Crown Champion?
The bell rings and Rosser runs up to BOOT Mack! Rosser eggs on the others, then runs up, but Jack & Lee dodge to double kick, double KICK and DOUBLE DROPKICK! Rosser bails out, Jack and Lee see Mack and they kick him. They double whip but Mack blocks. Jack & Lee try again, Mack breaks the double lariats to RANA Big Shotty! Then he DROPKICKS Cartwheel! Mack sees the group gathers, builds speed, but Cartwheel runs in to RANA! Fans fire up and Mack bails out! Jack builds speed, and cartwheels to FOSBURY FLOP! He takes out the whole field!

Backstage interview with Ethan Page.
Lexi congratulates him on his win over Nese, and brings up what a very angry Nese and very angry Sterling had to say. They say this is not over, so how is Ethan feeling? Ethan asks, “What’s not over?” Um, this back and forth rivalry. Oh, and they decide that, right? Not Ethan, not management, not ROH, not the rules that they are to abide by? Like when Ethan shook Nese’s hand like a man even after he lost? Like when Ethan looked Nese in the eyes after everyone in the crowd knew Nese he cheated, after Ethan knew Nese cheated, after Nese knew Nese cheated, after Nese’s “stupid ass manager who pretends like a freakin’ lawyer” knew Nese cheated! EVERYONE knows Nese cheated!
And Ethan still stood in the ring, abided by the freakin’ rules made by this freakin’ company and shook Nese’s hand like a man! And yet Nese doesn’t have the BALLS to tell Ethan himself that this isn’t finished! NO, Nese rushed back here to get his interview in first so he could change the narrative to benefit Nese. Nese can spill his lies not only to Lexi but to anyone who’ll listen, especially the fans! Nese & Sterling wanna say they’re not done? FINE! Ethan doesn’t need to be told, because he KNOWS they’re not freakin’ done! Ethan gets to say when they’re done! And Ethan will make sure that when they’re done, the last thing Nese does is shake Ethan’s freakin’ hand!!
All Ego is all fired up, will he make sure the Premier Athlete regrets ever bending the freakin’ rules?
Athena & Billie Starkz VS Ronda Rousey & Marina Shafir!
The Fallen Goddess put out the challenge, and wouldn’t you know? It was answered by the two MMA Horsewomen they just fought in Wrestling Revolver! Athena gave “Rowdy” Ronda that win via disqualification, but will she and her Minion In Training look to win this one? Or will Ronda & Marina be too much of a problem for them?
The fans are already losing their minds, not expecting this at all! The teams sort out, Athena makes Billie start against Ronda! Athena gets fans cheering Billie on, but Ronda smirks.

Ronda then taunts Athena with the belt! Is this a preview of what’s coming at Final Battle?
My Thoughts:
Now this was a great episode of ROH! 90 minutes but it was all worth watching. Great ROH Pure Championship match to open, and really good Pure Rules match from Yuta VS Moriarty. Shibata and Yuta of course each won, which sets them up for a Pure Championship match and probably at Final Battle. And great stuff in the story of Ethan Page and Tony Nese. Great match and great promos, and Ethan is definitely winning the tiebreaker. I almost wanted Ethan to demand a stipulation there, but maybe that comes next time we hear from him.
Awesome Fatal 4 Ways for all the divisions. Great interactions from Diamante and Kiera given their real-life relationship, and great win for Willow to keep her strong in ROH. Honestly, very confusing as to why, after winning the Women’s Owen Hart Cup, she hasn’t won anything else in AEW/ROH. Yeah, she got to be NJPW Strong Women’s Champion but that was more because Mercedes Mone got hurt and Willow had to win by default. And she didn’t even get to be in the title match at Full Gear for the TBS Championship even though she was part of that story.
Great Fatal 4 from the tag teams, and while I wanted Iron Savages to win, good win for The Workhorsemen, who have also deserved some shine lately. It’d be quite the honor if they got to go to Final Battle to face… Well, probably not MJF & Cole but possibly MJF & Samoa Joe. Joe did just say on Dynamite that he’s gonna have MJF’s back to keep him as healthy as possible going into Worlds End and their AEW World Championship. And then that men’s Fatal 4 was wild because it ended a lot faster than I expected. But that was a great win for Big Shotty, and I’m sure this will add to his story with Shane Taylor Promotions.
And while I’m very surprised that Ronda Rousey showed up here in ROH, that’s definitely cool for ROH. And really, the best move for her. Being in AEW isn’t going to help anything, AEW still doesn’t book more than one woman’s match a show, Toni Storm is already building a title story with Skye Blue, Julia Hart just won the TBS Championship, so what would Ronda even get to do that helps her and her opponents? The tag match was an awesome main event, all four women looked great, even Billie, but of course Billie also took the loss because she’s the youngest and is just Athena’s sidekick. But clearly they want Athena VS Ronda for the women’s title at Final Battle, and that is going to be an epic match.
My Score: 8.9/10

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.

The fans boo as Okada aims with the belt! BELT SHOTÂ to the ribs!! And then BELT SHOT to the head!! Callis & Okada stomp away on Briscoe, then they leave him behind. 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. MJF kicks low and grins.
MJF brings Mistico around to headlock but Mistico fires body shots. Mistico powers up and out, then CHOPS! Mistico winds up and the fans rally, and he knuckle locks before he CHOPS again!

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.

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!
“ESTA LUCHA!” as Yuta runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, and BUSAIKU KNEES Shibata! But Shibata’s right up to PENALTY KICK!! Both men are down and the fans continue to rally! Hot tags to Swerve and Moxley! These two fire forearms and the fans fire up again! The most dangerous men in AEW go back and forth, but Swerve gets the edge! Moxley ROLLING ELBOWS! Swerve mule kicks and HAYMAKERS! Ospreay adds a HOOK KICK! Swerve somersaults for the FLATLINER! Ospreay helps Swerve turn Moxley in the gator roll, CHASING THE DRAGON!! The fans are thunderous and Ospreay sets Moxley up!
Swerve goes up, but Matt stops Swerve! Swerve kicks Matt away and Ospreay BOOTS Matt down! But Marina distracts the ref! Nick SHOVES Swerve and Swerve HOTSHOTS off the ropes! Moxley rolls swerve up to cover, DEATH BUCKS WIN!!
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
