Nyla Rose VS Alejandra Lion!
The Native Beast has only gotten started in the ROH Women’s Division, and is surely hungry for more! The ROH Women’s World Television Championship is still waiting for contenders, will Nyla show Lion who’s the real Queen of the Jungle?
The Code of Honor is upheld, mostly, and the bell rings. Nyla and Lion circle, tie up, and Nyla waistlocks. Lion throws elbows, reaches for ropes but Nyla brings her back to SLAM her down!

Winner: Nyla Rose, by pinfall
The first match of the last ROH in 2023 is a fast one! Will this be all Nyla needs as reason why she should go after that brand new belt?
“Pretty” Peter Avalon VS Zak Knight!
Avalon surely thinks all the excitement and anticipation is for him, but no, it’s for his opponent, the debuting brother of one Saraya Knight! Will Zak make his sister proud? Or will his moment in the spotlight be anything but pretty?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings and then Zak SPEARS Avalon! Fans fire up, Zak HAMMERS away on Avalon, then drags Avalon up to UPPERCUT back down! Fans fire up more with Zak while Avalon flounders to the apron. Avalon wants time to catch his breath and the ref keeps Zak back.

Zak TOSSES Avalon to the corner, CHOPS and CHOPS and then fires body shots! Zak DECKS Avalon and fans fire up!

Another step over, but Avalon sends Zak out! Zak rewinds, Avalon dodges but then the LARIAT finds him! Cover, TWO! Avalon hangs in there but Zak keeps his cool. The fans rally up, Zak feeds off that energy, and he reels Avalon in. Zak suplexes, holds Avalon up, but Avalon throws some knees! Zak staggers, Avalon goes to the apron and HOTSHOTS!

Winner: Zak Knight, by pinfall
Zak shakes Avalon’s hand, and he has his debut win in ROH! Will #ZodiacZak be bad luck for his opponents?
ROH hears from the Women’s Division.
LEGIT Leyla Hirsch says, “ROH has been my home since I made my return. And I’ve been one of the most dominant forces here. But there’s always been something missing, and that is gold around my waist. So Maria, I’m gonna show you why I’m worth betting on when I win the ROH Women’s Television Championship.” The Hottest Flame, Kiera Hogan, says that “my journey in ROH has not been easy. But I’ve put my heart and soul into everything I’ve done thus far. But now there’s a new chance, a new opportunity, because tonight, Tony Khan unveiled the new ROH Women’s Television Championship.”
Lady Frost asks us, “Do you know where I was four years ago? Fighting for my opporutnity in ROH Wrestling. Do you know where I was last year? Wrestling in a tournament in Mexico. So a new Eliminator Tournament for the Women’s World Television Championship? I’ve been ready.” The Queen of Strong Smile, Rachael Ellering also notes Tony Khan announcing the new ROH Women’s Television Championship, and “there is quite the buzz going on around here. Everybody has their eyes on that title, and so do I. So these are no longer just matches. This isn’t just any championship. This is my chance to become a part of ROH history.”
Billie Starkz says, “Final Battle had a bittersweet ending. I finally got the respect I wanted from Athena, but the one thing I didn’t get to walk away with was my title. But this gives me a new opporutnity. I know what I’m going for now. I’m going for the ROH TV title.” Everyone has their opportunity, but who capitalizes on it to become the historic first-ever ROH Women’s World TV Champion?
Athena, Billie and Lexi are backstage.
The Fallen Goddess says something about this just feels right. Her, her Bestie Lexi, and Minion #400,237 & three-quarters, all together again. But the reason for this MEM is obvious: Billie is gonna WHOOP EVERYONE in that tournament and become the first-ever ROH Women’s World Television Champion! And y’know what? Athena promised she wasn’t gonna do this, but Billie… this is your moment! You get to shine! Don’t mess it up. Okay, alright. Tell ’em, Billie! Billie says she IS winning this title. YEP! She couldn’t win the top one. That’s true. But this is Billie’s chance. She has a new vision. What is that vision? THE TV TITLE!
Billie’s got a new dream, so every other hussy in her way, know what you’re in for. Athena says that is a good start, could be better, moving on. FAMILY, ROLL OUT! The Fallen Goddess’ influence is growing stronger, will it help Billie shine with gold in the New Year?
Six Man Tag: The Iron Savages & Jacked Jameson VS Bryan Keith & The Von Erichs!
Dirty Bulk Bronson, Beefcake Boulder and their hulking hype man are jacked and juicy, but everything’s bigger in Texas. As such, will the Texas sized hearts of Ross, Marshall and The Bounty Hunter help them bring down these big bounties? Or will everyone be sippin’ the Savage Sauce for New Year’s?
The teams sort out, the fans fire up for “BK! BK!” as Keith starts against Bronson. They keep the Code of Honor, the bell rings, and fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, Bronson powers Keith back but Keith headlocks. Keith grinds the hold, Bronson powers up to bring Keith down, and Bronson pops out the back to headlock in return. Keith powers up and out, Bronson runs Keith over, then motorboats the air. But Keith avoids the elbow drop! Bronson avoids the Penalty Kick! Bronson rolls Keith up but Keith rolls through. Bronson blocks the kick but Keith blocks the clothesline to shove and drop toehold!

Boulder goes to a corner, Marshall sends Ross in and he BOOTS! Marshall adds a clothesline, and the fans fire up! The Von Erichs storm up together, double whip corner to corner, but Boulder comes back to DOUBLE CROSSBODY! Fans fire up for Boulder, and he gets those hips moving. Boulder tags Bronson, and Bronson says it’s time for TIDDY CITY! The straps come down, and Bronson SMOTHERS Ross into those hairy mountains!
Ross sputters as Bronson lets off, and Bronson puts Ross in the corner. Bronson fires heavy hands, lets off to then whip corner to corner, and Ross hits buckles hard! Bronson drags Ross up, brings him over, tag back to Boulder. Bronson sends Boulder in to SPLASH! Then feed to Bronson’s ELBOW! Bronson growls, Boulder storms up on Ross, but Ross throws body shots.

A huge trios win for these three! Will they look to stick together and head for those ROH World Six Man Tag titles?
Backstage interview with Griff Garrison & Cole Karter.
Lexi is with the Ivy League MVP & Diamond in the Rough, and says they unfortunately suffered a loss last week. And on top of that, Maria Kanellis-Bennett isn’t here, she’s home to spend the holidays with her real children. Karter says that’s the problem, isn’t it? Maria isn’t even here, she’s at home with her “real kids.” They are her real kids. Right, big brother? Uh, dude, there are way bigger problems than that. “Like these idiots.” Spanish Announce Project comes dancing in, and Serpentico says something in Español. Karter asks, “What?” Angelico translates that Griff & Karter are why the four of them lost the match last week.
Oh, okay, okay. So since they’re the reason for the loss, but Serpentico is always in his gear, how about next week, SAP learns what it is to take a loss? Griff makes Serpentico high-five him, and Karter does, too. Angelico high-fives Serpentico, too, and says, “Buena suerte. <Good luck.>” He also high-fives Serpentico and then Serpentico high-fives Lexi. SAP heads out, will Maria’s boys regret challenging #SNAKEMAN?
Six Woman Tag: Kiera Hogan, Lady Frost & Trish Adora VS Taya Valkyrie & The Renegades!
We heard from The Hottest Flame and the Coolest Wrestler You Know, but surely they’re not alone in wanting that newly minted ROH Women’s World Television Championship. Will Kiera, Frost and #Afropunk take the lead in that title chase? Or will La Wera Loca lead Charlette & Robyn to victory?
The trios sort out, Adora starts against Charlette, and they reluctantly keep the Code of Honor. Then Charlette wrenches! The bell rings, Adora wrenches back, Charlette wrenches back, then Adora wrenches again to arm-drag! Taya tags in, and Kiera reaches out. Adora tags her in, and Kiera fires off on Taya! Taya shoves Kiera away, runs up, but Kiera trips her onto ropes! Kiera runs to HIP ATTACK! Then she YANKS Taya off ropes, and hits the STEP-UP LEG DROP! Cover, ONE!! Taya scrambles away to tag Robyn. Robyn rushes up but Kiera dodges to SUPERKICK! Robyn flounders to a corner, Kiera storms up and KICKS her!
Kiera sits Robyn down, runs side to side to BLAST Charlette, then comes back to BOOT WASH! Cover, TWO! Kiera keeps on Robyn with forearms, then whips. Robyn reverses, Charlette gets a cheap shot in, and Kiera is mad. Kiera argues with Charlette, but she still ELBOWS Robyn away! Kiera turns her attention back to Charlotte while Robyn distracts the ref, and Charlette throws Kiera down by her hair! Robyn then rains down fists! The ref reprimands, Robyn lets off to stomp Kiera instead. Robyn tags Charlette while fans rally up, and the sisters bring Kiera up to a fireman’s carry. Robyn runs, BOOT O’ DOOM! Cover, TWO!
Charlette keeps Kiera down with a chinlock and she even taunts Frost & Adora by holding Kiera’s hand out. Charlette then turns Kiera around to give her a noogie! Kiera endures, fights up, but Charlette whips her into the corner. Robyn tags back in, she CHOPS Kiera, and then tags Taya. They mug Kiera, Taya stomps away, then she digs her boot in! Kiera is bent back, the ref gets Taya back, but Charlette & Robyn get their shots in! Adora & Frost protest, Taya drags Kiera to a cover, but the ref is busy with Adora! Taya is furious, she drags Kiera up to bump her off buckles. Tag back to Robyn and the mugging continues.
The ref reprimands, Robyn CHOPS, then Taya argues with the ref. Kiera throws body shots on Robyn but Robyn CLUBS Kiera! Kiera BOOTS and ROUNDHOUSES in return! Both women fall, they crawl, hot tags to Tatya and Frost! Frost dodges Taya to BLAST the Renegades! Frost LARIATS Taya, ELBOWS her down, then kicks. Taya ducks but the HEEL KICK finds her!

Kiera SUPERKICKS Charlette! Taya SPEARS Kiera! Fans fire up but Adora is back to waistlock! Taya fights the lift, bucks the O’Conner, and then BOOTS Adora! Adora roars, but Taya dodges to mule kick!
Taya underhooks, picks Adora up, PACKAGE BUTTERFLY! Taya then turns Adora over, hooks up the legs and has the arms! QUEEN ANGELITO STOMP!! Cover, Taya & the Renegades win!
Winners: Taya Valkyrie & The Renegades, by pinfall
Taya smiles a sinister smile as she celebrates with Robyn & Charlette. But there can only be one inaugural Women’s TV Champion, will even the Renegade Sisters have to fight it out? Or will it all be La Wera Loca in 2024?
Backstage interview with Leyla Hirsch & Rachael Ellering.
Lexi is now with LEGIT Leyla & The Queen of Strong Smile, and brings up last time, Maria storming out on the interview. Where do things stand for the three? Leyla says she can’t worry about Maria. Maria showed her true colors, and at the end of the day, all Maria cares about is the spotlight. All Leyla cares about is winning, and she’s sure Rachael is the same way. Rachael says they are on the exact same page. Lexi may not know this about them, but they both love competition and opportunity. And there’s a new title coming that they’ve got their eyes on it, so- Mercedes Martinez & Diamante walk in to interrupt.
If they want competition, it just showed up, so what’s good? These two want competition, so their best competition is standing right here in front of them. Mercedes & Diamante are the best tag team ROH has to offer. Leyla says they just lost a Street Fight, right? Oh, Leyla’s got jokes, huh? Real amateur hour here. Just agree, Lexi, thanks. But Mercedes & Diamante have been in more Street Fights than Leyla & Rachael can even think of. So if “Shorty Doowop” and “Smile McSmilesalot” think they’re up to it, they’re on. Competition? They’ve got it for you all. Then sign them up. Aight then, suckas! Yeah, suckas!
The OG Badass & Cuban Diamond head out, Lexi defends Leyla & Rachael aren’t suckas. Yeah, thanks, Lexi… But will this coming tag battle help determine who gets in on the TV title chase?
Tony Nese w/ Mark Sterling VS Joey Hyder!
The Premier Athlete & Smart Mark are clearly not happy how Final Battle went, and it shows from their messy hair and Sterling’s wrinkled suit. Sterling has Bobby Cruise stop the introductions and has the music stop so he can speak. What everyone knows is that this is Tony Nese. But everyone also knows is that at Final Battle, Nese had his finger crushed by a 45 pound plate, he was whipped, put through two tables, and choked out by a steel chain! Now, any lesser man, and especially Texans, wouldn’t even be able to get out of bed. “But this man flew here to entertain you!”
Speaking of, while this was happening, you people were CHEERING for the downfall of a man that was just trying to get you in shape! So they stand before you tonight to say NO MORE. No more helping the fans, no more helping the people in the back, and instead, you all get to witness the rebirth of the Premier Athlete as he knocks this Texas kid’s head off! Fans boo but Nese still keeps the Code of Honor with Hyder, and the bell rings. Nese and Hyder tie up, and Nese THROWS Hyder down, DECKS him, then SLAPS him! Nese fires off stomps and haymakers in the corner, the ref counts, and Nese lets off at 4.
Nese seethes, fans boo, and Hyder stands back up. Hyder fires forearms and body shots in return! Fans fire up but Nese throat chops! Then BULLDOG HOTSHOT! Hyder flounders, Nese runs in to LARIAT! Fans boo but Nese snarls. Nese drags Hyder up to CLUB him with crossface forearms! Nese talks trash on Hyder, kicks him around, then eggs him on. Nese pie faces Hyder, pushes him, and Hyder UPPERCUTS! And DROPKICKS! Fans fire up with Hyder while Nese flounders around. Hyder waistlocks, O’Conner Rolls, TWO! Nese hurries up but into a fireman’s carry! But Nese fires elbows to fight free, then fires off more elbows!
Nese pump handles, and hits a scoop to PILEDRIVER! Cover, Nese wins!
Winner: Tony Nese, by pinfall
Nese sarcastically keeps the Code of Honor as he rebounds from his brutal loss. Sterling continues to say a lesser man wouldn’t have even made it here. Will Nese take his frustrations out on everyone until he’s finally fighting for a title?
Billie Starkz VS Vertvixen!
Athena’s top (and only) minion came so close to winning at Final Battle, but she’s still got a long way to go if she wants to be a champion herself. She now has the Fallen Goddess’ respect, will she get a huge win to rebound? Or will Vert prove she’s Player One in this title race?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the two circle. They tie up, go around, and Billie waistlocks. Vert fights the lift, but Billie trips her, floats over and facelocks. Billie grinds the hold, Vert moves around, they roll and Billie keeps Vert from ropes. Vert fights through the facelock to wrench the arm and hammerlock it. Fans cheer, Billie sits up and reaches back. They stand, Billie snapmares and rolls, but Vert gets around behind to ghost pin, TWO! Billie stands, runs up and ELBOWS low! Then knee lifts! Then LARIATS! The fans rally up, Billie ROCKS Vert, and Vert flounders. Billie taunts Player One then stomps her.
Billie bumps Vert off buckles, whips her corner to corner, but Vert goes up and over and rolls back, “GET OVER HERE!” Leg sweep! Vert then deadlifts, but Billie elbows free of the waistlock! Billie slips under, waistlocks and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Fans fire up while Billie snarls. Billie storms up on Vert, stomps away on her again and again, then tells the ref to NOT tell her what to do! Athena’s influence is strong, and Billie goes back for Vert. Vert dodges, scoops, BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Both women are down and the fans fire up! The fans rally up, Vert brings Billie around to ROCK with a forearm. Billie gives it back!
They go forearm for forearm, then Billie blocks to spin, cravat SMASH and HEEL KICK! Fans fire up and Billie climbs the corner. Vert rises, and hurries to BOOT Billie! Vert then jumps up after Billie, they both throw body shots to fight for control, and Vert CLUBS Billie. Billie HOTSHOTS Vert off buckles! Billie shoves Vert down, goes back up, and SWANTON BOMBS! Cover, Billie wins!
Winner: Billie Starkz, by pinfall
Player One was game, but that was game over! Billie still upholds the Code of Honor, but she has her fingers crossed! Billie kicks low and throws Vert by her hair! Billie mocks the fans crying and says Merry Christmas. Will Billie follow in Athena’s footsteps and become a champion who does whatever she wants to whoever she wants?
Backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher.
Lexi is with the NEW ROH World Television Champion, the Aussie Arrow, and says as we saw at Final Battle, he outlasted five of the best in ROH. What an impressive showing! He stole the show, so what does he plan to achieve as champion? Kyle says what people need to realize that this title is now the most important title in ROH, in AEW, in ALL of professional wrestling! And that is because Kyle Fletcher is holding it. People might not realize they’re witnessing a star being born. Kyle is the Protostar of Pro-Wrestling, because one day he will go down as The Greatest Of All Time. And to do that, Kyle needs to become the greatest ROH World Television Champion in history!
That means longest reigning, most defenses, five star matches week in and week out. And that starts next week. Kyle is issuing an Open Challenge. Anyone can step up to try and take this from him, but he is sorry- Oh, here’s Willie Mack. Hey, Kyle, wassup? Talking about stars being born, there’s a new cluster of stars being formed next week called Kyle Surprise-iosis, and it’s the greatest constellation ever. It takes the form of Mack’s foot breaking off in Kyle’s ass when he takes that title. So consider the open challenge closed, Mack has answered it, and he’s gonna take that big shiny belt home with him, baby. Best believe that.
The Return of the Mack is going to be for Kyle’s newly won championship, who will truly be the star of ROH TV in the New Year?
Ethan Page VS Johnny TV!
All Ego got a brutal victory over Tony Nese at Final Battle, but now he faces a man who has been all around el mundo, with nitro in his veins. Will Ethan keep this rebound going and be on his way to gold? Or will Johnny prove he’s the man of the year, not Ethan?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and Johnny goes for the arm! Ethan holds him off but Johnny shifts to get a leg and trip him up. Johnny steps over, throws down forearms and stomps. Then Johnny cheers himself on, talks trash on San Antonio, but Ethan ROCKS him! Ethan whips, drops, and ELBOWS Johnny, then DECKS him! Johnny scrambles away, claiming closed fist. The ref says no, that was a forearm and therefore legal. Fans rally for Ethan, Johnny wants a timeout but Ethan says there are no timeouts. But Johnny YANKS Ethan into buckles! Johnny climbs up, throws down fists, but Ethan stops him at two to FLAPJACK!
Ethan bumps Johnny off buckles, climbs up, and rains down fast hands! Ethan goes all the way to TWENTY! The fans are fired up for Ethan and he runs in, but Johnny slips to the apron. Then he slides under, goes around and GAMANGIRIS! Johnny springboards, Ethan gets under the flip, and then CLOBBERS Johnny! Johnny bails out, Ethan pursues, and Ethan stalks Johnny to the ramp. Ethan sends Johnny back into the ring, storms in after him but Johnny slides back out. Johnny smirks, and he KICKS a leg out! Then he GAMANGIRIS Ethan again! Johnny hurries to get Ethan up, turn him, and NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!
Ethan hangs tough but Johnny looms over him. Johnny clamps on a dragon sleeper, then he ELBOWS Ethan down! Then he KICKS Ethan in the side! And rolls to LAST CHANCERY! Johnny bends Ethan back and has more of a kneeling neckbreaker stretch. Ethan endures, fights up, and the fans rally as Ethan turns things around on Johnny for a BIG suplex! Johnny scrambles up, Ethan throws body shots but Ethan throws forearms! They go back and forth, Ethan counter punches, and counter punches, and then ROCKS Johnny! Ethan whips Johnny to a corner, runs up to forearm smash, then keeps going to BOOT Johnny down!
Fans fire up with Ethan, Johnny springs up but Ethan dodges! Ethan scoops, SLAMS, covers, TWO! Fans rally, Ethan pleads with the fans holding up number 2 signs, and then he calls for the end. But Johnny RAMS Ethan into a corner! Johnny elbows, GAMANGIRIS, then springboards, FLYING CHUCK! Cover, TWO! Fans rally, Johnny drags Ethan up, and fireman’s carries. Ethan fights free, ROUNDHOUSES, and then reels Johnny in! Canadian Rack, EGO’S- NO, Johnny escapes, shoves Ethan at the ref, and then LOW BLOWS! SHINING WIZARD! Then to the drop zone, for the- “BOYS~!”
Dalton Castle & The Boys are here! The fans fire up as The Peacock, exhausted as he is, is here! Johnny says watch this! STARSHIP FLOP as Ethan moves! Ethan steps outside, steps back in, HEADSHOT CUTTER! Cover, Ethan wins!
Winner: Ethan Page, by pinfall
Castle grins as he gets revenge on Johnny! Johnny seethes and glares at Castle, but when and where will these two fight it out? As for Ethan, will he get back on a new win streak to go for the gold?
My Thoughts:
Okay now this is an episode of ROH I can get behind. Just a little over an hour, and I ended up doing all the matches. Not because none of these were filler, but because it was all more manageable than the 90+ minute episodes that are just shoved full of filler. Good promo from a handful of the women in the ROH midcard, I’m thinking Leyla, Kiera, Frost, Rachael and Billie are shoe-ins for a Survival of the Fittest, assuming that’s what they’ll do. It’ll still be some kind of tournament format, but honestly, why come up with a bracket and have to figure out who faces who? Parallel the men’s match at Final Battle to crown the inaugural champion.
As such, a little redundant to also have Leyla, Rachael and Billie have their own promos. But I did appreciate Leyla & Rachael establishing they are separated from Maria, and are now having a tag match with Mercedes & Diamante. That match will be really good, but I’m pretty sure Leyla & Rachael win to have momentum going towards the title match. Billie of course wins her own match, and she is basically being the same as Athena at this point. But Billie seems like too obvious a choice for first champion, so it’ll surely be someone else. Really good Six Woman Tag win for Taya & The Renegades, and of course Nyla wins, put Taya’s and Nyla’s names in the hat for the title, too.
Really good promo from Kyle and Mack to set up their ROH World TV title match, and pretty sure Kyle wins to have his first defense in the books. It’ll make for a really good start to ROH TV in 2024, too. Of course Nese wins here, he’s doing away with the “Group Training~” gag but it’s not like that was his thing from the start. He’s just back to normal Nese, and normal Nese ain’t getting the world title, that’s for sure. Great ROH debut for Zak Knight, but it’ll take some promos to see what he’s got. The Six Man Tag of Savages VS Keith & Von Erichs was a lot of fun, and great win for Keith & The Von Erichs.
Good promo from Griff & Karter with Spanish Announce Project, and I’m pretty sure Griff & Karter beat SAP to prove they can do things without Mama Maria watching them. And really good match from Ethan and Johnny for the main event, and of course Castle shows up. Castle costs Johnny like Johnny cost Castle, they’re going to have an excellent match that could determine a #1 contender to the ROH TV title. Which I would think means Castle wins. Though, if Kyle is to go on a great streak as champion, maybe it’d be too soon for Castle to challenge Kyle as like just his second or third opponent. Maybe they should rehash the story they started telling with Castle and Samoa Joe so we can get a satisfactory finish.
My Score: 8.5/10

Results:
The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System
Octagon got jumped by The System earlier so Laredo is fighting alone. Another backstage jumping is getting a little dumb.
Laredo and Trey start. Typical Indie start with Simultaneous awful Dropkick spot and bad counters, AJ blind tag runs the smaller guys over, tags out to KC and the Rascalz instantly get the moment. KC is rocked, tags in Laredo and Laredo takes out the System before Lish gets on the apron and grabs Laredo. The referee kicks out Lish and Rehwoldt on commentary points out it’s a No DQ match so that’s dumb.
KC gets tossed at AJ, he catches him, Rascalz Dive and do their taunt as we go to commercial. We come back, Tennessee Whiskey into a KC tag in for the near fall on Laredo. Corner combo, Snapmare into Flip Forward Neck Breaker, KC is on a roll. AJ tags Laredo and starts talking crap to KC, they swerve and go Finger Poke of Doom, but it’s not a legal pin. Suddenly tornado attacks, System and Rascalz go for broke, AJ hits the Senton to break the eventual pin, Laredo counters AJ’s Chokeslam attempt. Trey clears out The System, Wentz sends himself and KC over and out, Laredo with a Corkscrew Moonsault, which looked cool but it’s the pile of morons waiting to get hit spot.
AJ hits the Down Payment on Laredo, but Trey blind tagged AJ. Meteora on AJ, Trey pins Laredo and Rascalz win.
Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali
Raj looks like shit in the gear he came down in…and he wrestles equivalently. I would rather anyone else comeback…give me Anarquia.
Ali murders Raj, Instant Dropkick, Rolling Neckbreaker, Corkscrew Standing Moonsault, it’s not close. Raj tries to counter things but Ali Bellclap, a little Duck the left, connect the right. Raj even does a terrible looking Punch Combo, he’s in bad shape, a bad looking Ushigoroshi, Raj with a sloppy looking something, 450 ends it.
Fire Raj as quickly as you brought him back. You don’t need a comedically pathetic job guy when the roster is like 4 guys getting pushed and everyone else sucks. Stop being stupid. Ali still hates women too.
This Injury Report is the dumbest segment in the history of wrestling. Stop treating fake shit as “serious business”.
ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee
ASH mocks karate stuff, Lei throws a few Rising Crane kicks as ASH bails and then things slow down a little. But a Pump Kick, Sliding Kick and Low Dropkick cause ASH to cower and claim her tooth broke. It’s a bait to pull Lei into the turnbuckles and them get in a few stomps. Ash keeps Lei in the corner, Suplexes her ankles into the buckles and then Ash throws a few Booty Shots/Hit Attacks then starts a grounded stretch, Lei Headscissors her down, still sells the hips and ankles, but dodges and fires, combination strikes into the 10 Count Down Strikes. T-bone Suplex, into the pinfall, for only two.
Cheapshot into Running Meteora from ASH for two. Ash goes for the Miz Yes Kicks and Lei No Sells and asks for more. Gorgeous Capture Suplex into Thunder Struck and TKO with flair. My baby has a better finish now! Yay!
Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber
Hannifan cursing and being pissed at Trick for not even showing but is more entertaining than a squash match. Not that Mance’s offense is bad, but 2 out of 3 job matches is stupid.
.@milanmiracle and @AriannaGraceWWE make history as the first father/daughter tag team in TNA!

Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa
Marella tries to tie up with Robbie, but he bails and tags out to Victoria so Arianna comes in and aside from Alicia Fox’s silliness, the tie up was decent with Arianna and Victoria. Tessa interferes and the Referee throws her out. Victoria comes back in and aside from a slight miscommunication with how Arianna does her punches, Alicia Fox is making her look…pretty good. Transition moves, okay brawling and Arianna looks amazing in her outfit.
Rob and Santino distract the referee and Victoria hits a Figure Four into her Northern Lights Suplex, only for 2. Arianna finally Back Body Drop to find the tag, Santino and Rob, Santino does his split dodge into the Standing Headbutt, Arianna Cross Body onto Victoria. Rob pulls out the ref, then shoves the ref into Santino, Santino into the steps and Arianna attack but Alicia and Lish, the fix is in, Arianna eats the pin.
International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona
A few quick brawl moves, Shoulder Tackles, Strikes, Back Breakers, Cardona does get dumped out and eats a SCUD. Maclin bounces Cardona’s face off the apron and hits an Elbow off the apron to keep Cardona reeling, but a dodged tackle sends Maclin into the steps. Cardona tries to Piledriver Maclin on the ramp, but Back Drop counter, into commercial.
Formulaic commercial etiquette of Cardona still in control, throws Maclin into the ropes, Diving Shoulder Tackle lays both dudes out and they get up by 8. Fighting Spirit spot, Cardona hits ropes and gets hit by Maclin twice, Thesz Press, Ground and Pound, Back Elbow and Olympic Slam has Maclin rolling. Splash into Lariat for two. Maclin has been all gas no brakes. Cardona tries to take a few shortcuts that turns into a Straight Jacket Takedown. Cardona to the top, Maclin cuts him off, Superplex spot. 1-2-kick out!
Maclin goes topside for a Jar Headbutt, Cardona hits the ropes so Maclin crashes into the corner, 2 Reboots connect, the third gets caught, counter into Busaiku Knee, Jar Headbutt. In and out, Cardona uses the middle rope for the Low Blow, Killswitch from Cardona but Maclin kicks out. Cardona dodges and shoves Maclin towards the ref, he puts the brakes on, Radio Silence! 1-2-Kick out! Maclin catches a top rope move, Power Bomb, Corner Splash, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs, KIA and Maclin retains!
Overall Score: 4.5/10
Boring paint by numbers show, no Trick, System has one move, Robert Stone is a scumbag, too long to introduce new girls, lots of throw away segments and Rosemary sets up YET ANOTHER Monster’s Ball match. These aren’t interesting when there’s one every 3 months. So we can have terrible Monster’s Ball matches quarterly, Barbed Wire Massacre and Clockwork Orange House of Fun…BUT NO LOCKDOWN!?
Go home TNA, you’re drunk.

Best of the Super Juniors 32 B Block: El Desperado VS Robbie Eagles!
The Rogue Luchador still has that target on his back, not only because he could go to the finals with his win and Yoh’s loss, but because he is THE IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion. Could the Sniper of the Skies kill two birds with one victory? Or is Despy about to go back-to-back at the BOSJ finals?

And CHOPS again! Despy “falls over” and that puts on more pressure! Eagles flails while Despy just lounges. Eagles crawls over, pushes Despy out of his way, and has the ROPEBREAK!
The fans applaud and Red Shoes calls the break. Despy claims he needs help, but Eagles fires hands! Despy lets go, but he kneels on the bad leg! Eagles has the ropes again, Red Shoes counts, and Despy finally stands. Eagles crawls away, but he refuses to let Red Shoes stop this. Despy drags Eagles up but Eagles fires body shots and forearms!

Despy fights his way forward again, but Eagles thrashes around! Despy gives it one last gasp and he has the ROPEBREAK!!
Eagles lets go, to drop KNEES on the knee! Then GROUND DRAGON SCREW! Then SPINNING TOEHOLD! Despy writhes, Eagles goes out and up, for WARP 4.5, but onto KNEES! Well, to clarify, the legs are usually the target, but Despy gets his knees up to jam Eagles! Both men are down and the fans rally up again. Eagles and Despy stir, then crawl for each other.

Speaking of which, Kosei Fujita now makes his way out here to be face to face with Yoh. Yoh holds the ropes open for Fujita to step into the ring. Fujita and Yoh get face to face, and Fujita points at the tag title on Yoh’s shoulder, because he also wants that belt. Yoh knows, since he and Wato took it from Fujita & Eagles. But Yoh dismisses Fujita, they’ll meet again on June 1st. Yoh then takes up the mic to tell Fujita, “Ya bastard… I’ll show you true chaos! Now, just one more win. In Ota, the best wind will blow.” Yoh drops the mic to leave it at that. Will that wind be the winds of change? Or will Yoh fail to bring down The Mighty Japanese Young Punk?
Here are the FINAL B Block standings!
YOH: 6-3, 12 points [FINALIST]
El Desperado: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
MAO: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
Taiji Ishimori: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie Eagles: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
SHO: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Nick Wayne: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Kevin Knight: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Titan: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ryusuke Taguchi: 3-6, 6 points [ELIMINATED]
My Thoughts:
A great night to wrap round nine and therefore the round robin portion. No repeat BOSJ finalists, which is actually great because now we’ve got a fresh match-up. Taguchi VS Knight was still a great match for not affecting outcomes, and Knight gets to return to AEW with a win. The flipside is Titan gets a win over Nick Wayne, I really do think it books itself, Nick VS Titan for the ROH World TV Championship on Grand Slam: Mexico. Christian Cage can even be condescending to Nick over how Nick didn’t make it to the finals, adding to that feud. Nick can beat Titan in the rematch, then get in Christian’s face to make a match for All In: Texas, or at least Supercard of Honor where ROH titles should be showing up anyway.
Great stuff with Mao and his team against Sho and the House of Torture. I was pleasantly surprised that Mao won, and I wonder if the House of Torture goes to a DDT Pro show to battle it out with Strange Love Connection. Mao winning also added great drama to the remaining matches, Despy VS Eagles was awesome stuff, probably the actual best match of the night. Yoh VS Taiji wasn’t quite as hot going by the crowd, but Yoh getting the win to shut the door on Despy was good. Yoh VS Fujita will be great, a bit hard to call, but that makes it fun.
My Score: 9/10
