Billie Starkz VS Dani Mo!

After all the gaslighting, emotional abuse and disrespect, this minion had had enough! She threw The Fallen Goddess down then challenged her for the title! Will Billie be more than ready for her Final Battle?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings and the fans rally up. Billie and Dani circle, then they tie up and go around. Fans rally as Billie powers Dani back, but Dani powers Billie to another corner. Dani lets off with a pie face, but Billie runs up. Dani dodges and flexes, but Billie HEEL KICKS her down!

Athena then holds up the belt over Billie and shouts “This is MY show!!” Then she threatens to lash everyone with her normal belt! Athena is the doctor and Billie is her monster, will they destroy each other to finally settle this?

 

Wheeler Yuta & Bryan Danielson speak.

The Decoder says, “Final Battle is fast approaching. December 15th in Garland, Texas, and the Blackpool Combat Club is looking for a fight.” The American Dragon says that’s right. And listen real close because he can’t speak too loudly right now. Final Battle means so much to Bryan and his career. In fact, it’ll be 20 years this month, Final Battle 2003, the first and only time Bryan ever wrestled Jay Briscoe. Last year, Final Battle 2022 was Jay Briscoe’s last match ever. The greatest Dog Collar Match in wrestling history! So Bryan wants to make a challenge in honor of Jay Briscoe, a man we all loved. Bryan wants BCC VS FTR & Mark Briscoe. BCC will bring the fight just like Jay would’ve wanted. What will the Top Guys & Sussex County Chicken have to say to this Six Man Tag challenge?

 

Dalton Castle w/ The Boys VS Johnny TV!

The Peacock is in Final Battle’s ROH World TV Championship Survivor of the Fittest Match, because he wants to prove he is the star of ROH TV! But in steps the man of many names who claims he himself is the face of wrestling television! Will Johnny prove he is worthy of his own title opportunities? Or will he be more like a major side character in Castle’s story?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and fans rally for Castle. Castle and Johnny circle, then Johnny JABS Castle! Castle tumbles out of the ring, The Boys fan him off, and Castle keeps his cool, if only barely. Castle then gets fired up and storms in.

And then Johnny sits on the apron, to still SOMERSAULT SENTON! Johnny drags Castle up, puts him in the ring, and he pushes Castle to a cover. TWO, and fans rally up again.

Johnny cravats Castle for a neck wrench but Castle endures. The fans rally behind Castle, Castle fights up and throws hands. Castle runs, but Johnny kicks low! Johnny TOSSES Castle out but The Boys are there to help Castle back in! Johnny storms out to scare The Boys off, then goes back to Castle. Johnny kicks, TOSSES Castle out again, but The Boys hurry to get Castle back in. Johnny is annoyed but the fans rally behind The Boys. The Boys back off, Johnny storms up and he counters Castle’s elbow, but Castle sweeps the arm on the Eddy Gordo Kick!

Fans fire up, Castle drags Johnny up, and Castle puts him in the ring. Castle storms in, shoots around, and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Johnny staggers up, Castle gets around, to T-BONE SUPLEX! Fans fire up and Castle wants us to look into his eyes and see his soul! Johnny bails out, wants a timeout, but no such thing! Castle storms out, Johnny RAMS him into the apron!

Castle drags Johnny up, puts him in, and Johnny staggers around. Castle blocks the lariat to BACK ELBOW, then he runs in to JUMP KNEE!

Castle keeps going, spinning clothesline! Whip and Alabama Lift! But wait, TAYA VALKYRIE is here?! Mrs. Nitro Mundo TV is here, and she sees The boys in her way. So La Wera Loca SPEARS them both! Johnny sunset flips to a cover, ONE!! But the SHINING WIZARD hits! Johnny drags Castle to a drop zone, goes to the corner, STARSHIP- NO, Castle moves and only Johnny feels the pain! But then Taya is there to stare Castle down! Castle is upset she touched his Boys, he tells her to get her face out of his face! Taya dares him to try something, and Castle storms back into the ring. Johnny runs up, FLYING CHUCK!! Taya says finish it!

But then here comes Kiera Hogan! Kiera TRIPS Taya! And Castle gets Johnny up, BANGARANG!! Cover, Castle wins!!

Winner: Dalton Castle, by pinfall

Just as it looked like Johnny was gonna steal the spotlight, the Hottest Flame countered Taya and Castle takes the win! The Peacock might very well be the best thing on ROH TV, will he fight all the way to being THE ROH World TV Champion?

 

Rachael Ellering w/ Leyla Hirsch & Maria Kanellis-Bennett VS Nikki Victory!

The Queen of Strong Smile and the First Lady of Wrestling were there for LEGIT Leyla, so now Leyla and Maria are going to be there for Rachael. Will this trio continue their success? Or will tonight be Nikki’s victory instead?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the two circle. They tie up, go around, and Rachael wrenches to wristlock. Nikki slips through to wrench and wristlock back, but Rachael m oves around. Rachael spins, slips in and wrenches Nikki to wrangle her. Maria applauds, but Nikki fights up.

Maria coaches Rachael on, Rachael sighs, but then Nikki throws body shots and forearms! Rachael CLOBBERS Nikki, then CHOPS her down! Maria says Rachael’s so strong! Is Maria pouring it on a little thick? Rachael CHOPS Nikki down again, drags her up again, and CHOPS her down again! Fans cheer, Rachael drags Nikki up and fireman’s carries. But Nikki kicks and flails and shoves! Did Maria just trip Rachael up!?

Fans boo and Maria plays innocent, claiming she was just looking at the tron. But Nikki rolls Rachael up in the distraction! TWO, but Nikki STUNNERS! Rachael wobbles, Nikki runs in, but into the BOSS WOMAN SLAM! Cover, Rachael wins!

Winner: Rachael Ellering, by pinfall

Maria applauds for Rachael, still plays dumb about that trip, but Leyla is caught between the two. Is Maria going to ruin the budding friendship for her own gain? Or can Rachael get Leyla to see the truth before it’s too late?

 

Backstage interview with Athena.

Lexi Nair is with The Fallen Goddess, who is rather pleased with herself. Lexi asks what that was out there, and Athena asks what Lexi means by that. Billie betrayed them! She betrayed MIT, and all the minions out there! Bestie, admit that you liked it. She LOVED it, didn’t she? Y-Yes… And then the good news keeps pouring in! Because Athena just heard from Tony Khan that the ROH Women’s World Championship match will now main event Final Battle! And Athena didn’t forget Lexi! Valedictorian at MIT, Bestie to ALL Minions and Overlord! And Lexi will be the special guest ring announcer! How’s she feel? Oh, good… HELL YEAH! Let’s celebrate! T G I FRIDAYS, BAYBEE~! Athena is in a good mood now, but will that all be ruined in a week?

 

Backstage interview with Maria & Leyla. 

Lexi starts with introductions but then Rachael barges in and asks what the hell, Maria. Don’t play dumb! Maria tripped Rachael up! Maria continues to play dumb, Leyla believes Maria simply tripped the wrong person. She’s giving Maria the benefit of the doubt. Maria appreciates that, and says Rachael should try it, too. Leyla knows through this she’s been the hot head and all, but she sees that Rachael has Leyla’s back. Leyla gives Rachael her word she will have her back. They fist bump, will these two be a LEGIT duo?

 

ROH World TV Championship Survivor of the Fittest Qualifier: Josh Wood VS Lee Johnson!

The Technical Beast and Big Shotty want to go to Final Battle to battle over gold, so they have to go through each other to get there! Will Woods have the goods to go for a new belt? Or will this finally be Lee’s time?

ROH World TV Championship Survivor of the Fittest Qualifier: Lee Moriarty VS Tracy Williams! 

#TAIGASTYLE and #HOTSAUCE are like two sides of the same coin. They’re both gritty grapplers and savage strikers, but only the better man moves on to the title match. Who will grab up their ticket to Final Battle?

Taiga Style sunk his “Fang” into Tracy, and now he’s feasting on that golden ticket! But will Lee satisfy his appetite by finally holding gold?

 

Backstage interview with Dalton Castle.

Lexi congratulates The Peacock on advancing to Final Battle, and he feels so great! Like he’s walking on air! Look at him! He’s not doing this wiggling, this is all on it’s own! This is his excitement! It’s happening! The viewers finally get what they deserve, and that is a champion who is made for TV! Look around. Who in this company is more made-for-TV than him? Who? Who? Ask him! He’s ready! Ask him! Oh, okay. Then who is more made for TV? Castle warms up his vocal chords but Johnny TV steps in. “You think you know TV, bland man?” Who? What?

Johnny says Castle’s like a stale wafer someone found in the couch while watching reruns of Seinfeld! Who’s The Boss? Three’s Company. 60 Minutes. Wheel of Fortune. Golden Girls. Jeopardy! REN & STIMPY! SIMPSONS! HEY, DUDE!! Yeah, Castle can do this all day! DAYS OF OUR LIVES! GENERAL HOSPITAL!! Taya steps in and says, “You think you can compare to Johnny TV? The only way you beat my husband is because you have an army! The Boys & Kiera Hogan? Hah! You will never be like my real-life action star.” Well, Johnny TV will never be ROH TV Champion!

Castle says he can feel his hands again. Lexi says Johnny & Taya do look good together. Yeah, Castle admits he can’t deny that. Johnny then throws out “In Living Colour” at Castle. Castle is still the one going to Final Battle, but will Johnny find a way to make himself the star of ROH his own way?

 

Backstage interview with Maria and her boys.

Lexi is with Maria, Griff Garrison and Cole Karter, and the last few weeks, it seems like they haven’t been on the same page. Is the chemistry still there? Griff says of course, but this isn’t a process that happens overnight. He and Cole started hanging out outside of wrestling, and he thinks they’re becoming bros now. They just ran into tough competition lately. They could change something, what do they think? Cole isn’t sure. It’s been four months, FOUR MONTHS, waiting on matching ring gear, and yet here we are, no hot moms–other than THE hot mom, Maria–and no new gear!

Cole asks what do they do? They’re stuck! Maria says maybe the change could be the music. Maria used to sing, maybe they can try something. She has the lyrics on her phone, borrows the mic, and sings a sample. “Uncorrupted fire, a hunger, a fearlessness, desire. But there’s jealousy on the other side, takes control of me, believe me. Young Blood’s got the fire! And you’re my baby boys, my baby boys, mama’s fire.” And then drum solo. She’ll work on this. Griff & Cole are stunned. That was beautiful! She’s a songbird… Will Maria’s song inspire Griff & Cole to reach that next level?

 

Tony Khan is in the ring! 

The owner, President & CEO of ROH thanks Erie, Pennsylvania for having him, and welcomes us back to ROH. Now, ahead of ROH Final Battle, he’d like to bring out two competitors for a contract signing for their huge match on December 15th in Dallas, Texas. First off, the most physically fit man in pro-wrestling, the Premier Athlete, Tony Nese! Nese makes his entrance, Mark Sterling by his side. They shake TK’s hand and Sterling even gives TK his card. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the pride of Canada, All Ego, Ethan Page! Fans cheer as Ethan makes his entrance and joins everyone in the ring.

Sterling checks over the contract, as he is a lawyer. TK reminds everyone, No Physicality Agreement. This is a rivalry that will be settled soon at Final Battle. The two of them have asked for this time to address each other and the fans here in Erie. And it is a unique situation given the animosity between them. It has been requested that this match be an I QUIT match. Fans like thet sound of that! Sterling says yes, he and Nese made sure to add their stipulation of I Quit, since Sterling is going to be handcuffed to the ring, all Jerry Lynn’s idea.

So Sterling & Nese feel it was very fitting that Ethan would quit to Nese, just like he’s quit everything else he’s ever done in his entire life. Sterling even has a visual aid to help. The first picture is Ethan’s physique the last few years, until he decided to get in shape. That much is very impressive, but we all know that in three months time, Ethan will look like that again when he quits his fitness journey. Just like he quit his tag teams, his vlogs, and every professional endeavor he’s ever embarked on. Fans boo but Ethan manages to smile through the insult. Nese signs his part, and the contract is brought to Ethan.

Ethan says before he signs, mind if he gets stuff off his chest, too? The fans cheer that! Nese wants Ethan to sign but Ethan says he’ll get to it. Ethan says when he decided to come to ROH, he had a goal in mind. Ethan wanted nothing more than to wear gold in ROH and honor the promise he made his daughter to become a champion here, so that he could represent TK, this brand, and this locker room as one of the faces of ROH! Fans cheer that, too! Ethan says Nese, “I honestly think the absolute world of you. I think you’re one of the best professional wrestlers going today, I really do. I would never, ever, ever, ever, ever say anything about losing to a performer like you.

“But when the two of you decided to derail my winning streak and take my opportunity from taking that TV title from Samoa Joe, you really proud of tha twin, Tony Nese? Because let me tell you. After Final Battle, after I sign this contract, after I make you say ‘I quit’ in the middle of the ring, I will be moving back on that path and making my way to gold in this company! But you, sir, will be finished with Ethan Page. And when you look left and when you look right, you will still be surrounded by idiots giving you bad advice. But make no mistake about it, Tony, when I win a championship, I’m gonna be adding to the legacy of ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page.

“You? All you’re gonna be able to do is thank Mark Sterling for your biggest victory in your career: beating Ethan Page one time. So please enjyo the next two weeks, because you can enjoy sharing the spotlight with All Ego Ethan Page. Because when I move away from you, so does that light, b*tch.” Ethan signs, hands the contract to TK, and fans fire up. But Nese tells Ethan that he better stay right there. Nese and Ethan both know that when Ethan says he’s on to bigger and better things, that is just Ethan’s stupid, delusional brain telling him lies! Because he IS a quitter, and he IS a loser!

And worst of all, Sterling came to Ethan with a solution and not a problem. Ethan created this problem! Sterling, out of the kindness of his heart, wanted to help Ethan. But Nese never wanted to. Because Ethan is just like all these losers in Pennsylvania! Ethan is beyond help! So Nese wants Ethan to listen. Nese will take one more stab at giving Ethan advice, so he better lean in. Ths is the most important advice of Ethan’s entire life: Make sure you always take your protein. Sterling opens his coffee cup to throw PROTEIN POWDER into Ethan’s eyes!! Nese attacks, fans boo, and then he clears the table! Sterling helps Nese put it in the corner!

Nese drags Ethan up, but Ethan fights back! Fans fire up as Ethan CLUBS away, but Sterling CHOP BLOCKS Ethan! Nese runs to PREMIER KNEE!! Fans boo but Nese gets the mic to say, “And Ethan Page, when you say ‘I quit,’ you’re also admitting that you are a fat loser, and that you don’t belong in MY ring!” Nese THROWS Ethan through the table!! Fans boo but Nese & Sterling soak it up. Sterling gives Ethan his card, but will Ethan give no quarter when that bell rings?

 

ROH World TV Championship Survivor of the Fittest Qualifier: Kyle Fletcher VS Gravity!

So far, we have The Peacock, Big Shotty and Taiga Style moving on to Final Battle, and the field is about to get a lot faster after this! Will the Aussie Arrow hit the mark? Or will the Astronaut of Lucha strap a rocket to his back and go to the moon?

The Code of Honor is not upheld as Kyle kicks Gravity’s hand away. The bell rings, the two circle, and they tie up. Kyle shoves Gravity down, then eggs him on. Gravity snarls and gets up to shove Kyle. They tie up again, Kyle puts Gravity on ropes, then lets off slowly. Kyle “apologizes,” but Gravity avoids his cheap shot! Gravity handsprings and arm-drags Kyle out of the ring! Fans fire up, Gravity builds speed and FLIES! Direct hit on Kyle and Gravity puts him in the ring. Gravity goes up, PLANCHA ARM-DRAGS, and then hurries up on Kyle to flip and wrench and hammerlock cradle! TWO!!

Kyle escapes, Gravity dodges and springboards, but Kyle catches him! SWINGING SIDE SLAM! Kyle practically slam dunks Gravity, and then he paces around. Cover, ONE!! Gravity hangs in there but Kyle looms over him. Kyle drags Gravity up, bumps him off buckles, but the fans rally up behind Gravity. Kyle grins and he CHOPS Gravity down! Kyle mocks the fans then springboard stomps away on Gravity again and again! Fans boo but Kyle drags Gravity to a cover. TWO, and Kyle is annoyed. Kyle paces while Gravity drags himself to ropes. Kyle drags Gravity up, reels him in, but Gravity CHOPS! Fans fire up as Gravity fires off forearms! Gravity runs, Kyle ROCKS him!

Kyle reels Gravity in, hoists him up, but Gravity SPIKE RANAS!! Cover, TWO!! Kyle survives, Gravity hurdles him and SPIN POWERSLAMS! Then a roll and STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Kyle is still in this but Gravity roars! Fans fire up with him, and Gravity watches Kyle go to a corner. Gravity CHOPS, whips, but Kyle reverses! Gravity goes up, Kyle catches him but Gravity RANAS again! Kyle goes to another corner, Gravity runs in but Kyle goes up and over! Gravity runs in, into a MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Gravity survives and Kyle is seething! Fans rally but Kyle slaps Gravity around. Kyle eggs Gravity on, and Gravity CHOPS!

Gravity eggs Kyle on, so Kyle DECKS him! Gravity rises up to SOBAT! Front kick! Forearm! Gravity runs, into the CALF KICK! Kyle wrenches, hammerlocks, gut wrench, and GRIM- VICTORY ROLL! TWO!?! Kyle escapes to SUPERKICK! And then reset on the hammerlock and gut wrench, for the GRIMSTONE!! Cover, Kyle wins!

Winner: Kyle Fletcher, by pinfall (advances to Final Battle)

This was a fast and furious main event, and Fletcher does Don Callis proud. Will he then bring the ROH World TV Championship home to the Don Callis Family?


My Thoughts:

A very good ROH this week with just over two hours of action. Though, I don’t understand why they made the main event the shortest match of the Survival of the Fittest qualifiers. I suppose that makes it surprising, but not really as I figured Kyle was winning it. I would’ve made Woods VS Johnson the main event instead, finish with a match where the fans like the winner, and also how it was actually a little surprising Johnson won. I thought Woods was gonna shift over from the Pure Division with this, but seems not. Great opportunity for Johnson, though. And great win for Moriarty tonight, too, the two Lees can have great interaction that also ties into the Shane Taylor Promotions story that’s been developing.

Good story development with all of Maria’s stories, from her trying to sabotage Rachael to her mesmorizing Griff & Cole with her singing. Not 100% those lyrics work as a wrestling theme but it certainly tells the story of Maria wanting the best for them as a team. Maybe the theme song will “be the key” to them getting wins and heading for the tag titles so that one way or another The Kingdom gets those in the family. As for the women’s side, still thinking Maria should swerve even Leyla and bring The Renegades into the faction. Though, Renegades did lose to put-together team Frost & Adora… Maybe that’s all the more reason Robyn & Charlette accept Maria as their manager.

I know I skipped “filler” tonight, but I do regret skipping Daniels VS Angelico, if only for what happened after the match. Daniels got mad at Serpentico helping Angelico cheat the win, but that got him mugged 2v1, so in a great surprise, #OrangeHausen showed up! Cassidy & Danhausen are starting beef with Spanish Announce Project, it seems, so that’s good for ROH. Maybe they end up doing something for Final Battle to fill that card and give more people to watch/attend the event. No world title or tag titles given AEW based stories, so Final Battle has space for stuff.

But that does give a silver lining to other feuds. Great move to make Ethan VS Nese an I Quit match so that no amount of cheating from Sterling can actually cost Ethan the match. Good contract signing segment tonight, too, clever cup o’ powder move from Sterling. But of course, Nese standing tall, Ethan is definitely winning, as he should. And awesome that the Women’s World Championship is the main event in lieu of no men’s world title. That is going to be great for Billie, who did great in squashing Dani and great in brawling with Athena. Lexi as guest announcer, she is gonna have to choose who she screws over, if anyone at all, and that’s a fun little detail to that story.

My Score: 8.7/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.13.2025

Two title matches, against opponents that….well…you wouldn’t expect. Let’s see how it goes!

Published

on

Well TNA hasn’t done a bad job at splicing in the NXT talent with the TNA talent, while keeping things building and looking interesting. I’ve heard a few complaints about TNA not explaining who the NXT talents are, but that’s irrelevant. WWE is the biggest show in the game, no one needs to talk about the more established brand. If you don’t know who some of the NXT talent is, that is a you problem. It’s not like a certain other brand that randomly debuts Indy talent who only regional or super hardcore fans have heard of. Everyone from NXT in this crossover has been established on WWE programing before.

So I like where things are going, lets see if the momentum continues!

Ratings:

  • TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Joe Hendry (c) vs Jake Something: Joe retains via Standing Ovation – ***
  • Elegance Clique (Heather & Ash) vs King Bees: Elegance wins via Seated Springboard Spanish Fly – ** 1/4
  • Sami Callihan vs Frankie Kazarian: Who cares, this wasn’t anything
  • Cora Jade vs Xia Brookside: Cora wins via Jaded – ***
  • TNA Knockouts World Championship: Masha Slamovich (c) vs Savannah Evans: Masha retains via Requiem – (-) *
  • Josh Alexander vs Eric Young w/Jabronis: Eric Young wins via Piledriver – *** 1/2

 

Results:

TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Joe Hendry (c) vs Jake Something

Oh we’re starting with this? Okay.

Early on its similar situations; Collar and Elbow tie up is deadlocked, Jake runs Joe over a couple times with rope run Shoulder Tackles but Joe returns the favor and then hits his Stalling Suplex into an Irish Whip to the buckle sending Jake chest first and a near fall. Jake tries to fire up out of it, a few Chops and looks to keep up the momentum, but Joe counters with a Scoop Slam and we go to commercial. We come back from commercial and Jake is working Joe over with Forearms against the ropes, Joe does go for two flash Cradle attempts for near falls but a Lariat takes off Joe’s head and gives Jake a near fall of his own. Jake starts laying in the Wrist Control Short Rainmakers before playing to the crowd and starts looking to continue the offense but Joe has a small flurry. A little back and forth, Joe counters a Whip with one of his own, but Jake coldcocks him with a Forearm and starts laying the Haymakers into Joe who’s grounded in the middle of the mat.

Crowd wills Joe back to his feet, Euro Upper gets a little space, but Jake cuts him off again and drops him on the apron. Jake looks to hit the ropes for something huge but Hendry pops back in and Lariat drops Jake. Jake eats some Slams and Lariats, Sack of Shit into the Kip-Up and turn, calls for the Standing Ovation but Jake blocks it and drives his shoulder into Hendry’s gut to wrest control back. Jake does the Warrior psyche up, looks for Into the Void but Hendry dodges it, Hendry eats a few Lariats, returns one of his own that sends Jake to the outside but Jake lands on his feet and pulls Hendry to a seated position and does…some kind of Running Forearm through the ropes thing? It looks stupid.

Jake goes to the top rope, Joe cuts him off, Avalanche Sack of Shit, Kip-Up, Standing Ovation called for…and…CONNECTS! Hendry retains.

Oh Mokuba cuts in as soon as Hendry retains. “Myyy brrrooottthhheeerrr”, but Santino’s music hits Jake attacks Joe, Santino gets into the ring to try and stop it, Nic comes to Ryan’s aid when Jake looks to go after Ryan next, Superkick rocks Jake, Nic goes for another but Jake powders and Nic Superkicks Santino. 

Elegance Clique (Heather & Ash) vs King Bees

Heather starts quick, Danni is getting isolated after Heather knocks Charity off the apron. A little bit of quick offense and near falls, Ash hits an Implant Buster/Front Dropkick combo for another near fall. Danni starts to fight back, but Heather cuts off Danni and tags back in Ash. Ash tries to keep Danni down, but she fights back up again, strikes, chops, stereo Facebusters instead of Crossbodies is at least unique. Simultaneous tags and Charity starts dominating the Elegance Clique, Ash makes the save, Danni tags back in, Charity tries to set up Heather for a Doomsday style move, but Heather counters with a Frankensteiner that sends Charity into the ropes, crotches Danni, Ash gets in a few shots, Seated Springboard Spanish Fly from Heather and the match is done! Ash and Heather do the lipstick insult post-match stuff, so Spitfire comes out to run them off.

Sami Callihan vs Frankie Kazarian

Mance Warner attacks Sami before the match, Sami is laid out on the ramp. Kaz thinks he got an easy win, but Sami stumbles to the ring to fight.

Sami hits a Stunner when Kaz gets a little too excited at the easy prey, Mance and Steph run back down the ramp to guarantee interference costing Sami the match. Kaz slaps on his Chicken Wing and Sami taps out. Very nothing match, but it leads to Sami grabbing a mic and calling Mance out into a fight. We get a security pull apart.

Cora Jade vs Xia Brookside

Cora comes out cocky and arrogant, doing the relaxing on the turnbuckles taunts, Xia gets offended, takes it to Cora a little and returns the taunt. Cora doesn’t seem super pleased by that, but Xia stays one step ahead of her early on, even doing her cute little wiggle to show off a bit. Cora has to powder, then run away from Xia, slide back into the ring and cries to the referee that her injured knee is acting up. So it slows down Xia enough to get got, Xia gets rocked a few quick attacks from Cora and she keeps Xia grounded. Cora pushes Xia into the corner, does the Kevin Nash Leg Choke, Xia tries to fire out but eats a Lariat for a near fall from Cora. Springboard Stomp to the back gives Cora another near fall, Snap Suplex…too many random pinfall attempts and Cora is starting to show a lot of frustration about not having an easy night.

Bow and Arrow Submission from Cora, Xia tries to fight out, but Cora pulls her down by the hair and goes right back to the Bow and Arrow. Snamare escape finally from Xia, she blocks a punch of Cora strikes and peppers her back, a sequence of Lariats into a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors which sends Cora to the corner. Back Elbow Feint from Xia seats Cora, Broken Wings after a little dance, Russian Leg Sweep from Xia for two. Brooksy Bomb attempt, Cora counters, Xia counters Cora but Cora hits a V-Trigger to rock Xia. Cora goes for Jaded but Xia counters, Running Knee Lift from Cora into Jaded and Cora wins.

Rascalz come out to cut a promo, explain the Ace alliance is just a convenient pairing. They call out Wes’ new crew, they think they’re gonna handle things because they have numbers, Ace shows up behind Wes’ crew, a brawl ensues where the heels stand tall after a few Low Blows and triple teaming Ace. Wes did mention something about going after the Tree House since the Rascalz don’t have any gold. So as Wes, Tyriek and Tyson walk out, we’re left to wonder what they’re gonna do with the Tree House. 

TNA Knockouts World Championship: Masha Slamovich (c) vs Savannah Evans

Masha tries to start quick because Savannah is actually imposing her size and power on Masha. I’m not totally sure how to feel about this since Savannah has no established reasoning for being a real challenge but Masha is selling her ass off. She eats a Spinout Sideslam and this just makes Masha looks like kind of a jabroni. Masha went from an Undefeated Russian Terror to now she’s getting woman handled by a lower card wrestler who’s rarely been on episodes and was even gone for like 8 months.

This is a terrible match, it doesn’t make Savannah look impressive, it makes Masha look like a joke. I’ve mentioned that the Knockouts Division is pretty terrible, but they shouldn’t agree with me so hard that Masha is selling for Savannah. Masha hits the Capo Kick to rock Savannah, tries a Sunset Flip after Evans blocks the Requiem, but a little back and forth, Savannah gets kicked in the head but still grabs Masha, Masha tries a Sunset Flip again but Savannah just sits down on her for two. This is…dumb.

We shouldn’t be seeing a competitive match with enhancement talent, Savannah even grabs Masha and hits some kind of modified Fireman’s Carry Suplex for a near fall. PK and Sliding Dropkick from Masha, this is going on too long and been too close. Sole Butt into Requiem and the misery if over. This was logically insulting garbage,

Josh Alexander vs Eric Young w/Jabronis

Josh starts off hot, taking it to EY, EY even tries to escape the ring but Josh keeps him in close quarters and lays EY out a few times. EY stumbles to the corner like a Bushwacker and tries to escape again, but Josh grabs him and eats a poke to the eyes for his effort. EY does the Kevin Nash Corner Footchoke also. A move I rarely see we saw twice tonight…odd. Josh fires up and lays in the Forearms, whips EY to the corner, Flair Flip, tries to bait Josh with a Shoulder Tackle through the ropes, Josh side steps, kicks EY to seat him and lands the Low Crossbody for a signature pop and the jabroni duo stalk Josh to get him distracted so EY manages a Stun Gun to take the control back.

Commercial kicks in and when we come back EY is still in control. Clubbing blows across Josh’s neck as he drapes him over the apron. We all know why EY is going after the neck, and some Stomps and looks to choke him so the referee admonishes EY. While admonishing the Jabronis go after Josh. Josh slides through EY’s legs after a rope run, a bit of locomotion Cradle attempts but EY goes to the corner to try and recover, when Josh follows EY grabs him, chokes him from the seated position and then drops a Knee on the neck. A nice back and forth, EY throws Josh tries to get some control back and EY lands a Dropkick from the corner as they both slowly meet the 10 count. Strike Exchange, off the ropes, Back Body Drop from Josh, into Stinger Splash, Rolling Senton, and King Kong Knee Drop from Josh for two!

Josh looks for the Ankle Lock, but EY gets the ropes immediately, Josh looks for the Spicolli Driver, but EY slips it, throats Josh with the top rope, Macho Elbow for two! Josh hits the Styles Clash to a solid pop, but only a two count! Josh looks for something up the buckles, EY counters him and looks for the Avalanche Piledriver, but Josh counters that, Ankle Lock, transition into Sharpshooter, Jabroni distraction, more back and forth with Josh and EY, Ankle Lock attempt again, jabronis interfere again and slide in the Casey Jones mask. EY clocks Josh, Piledriver, EY wins.

Overall Score: 5/10

On paper two main title matches seem interesting unless you follow the product and know the challengers aren’t deserving and have no build. Jake is someone I’d like to see get pushed, but he never does, and I mostly blame his gimmick name. Something is funny for the Indies, but completely moronic to try and brand on even a marginally legit brand. Savannah didn’t deserve the offense she got in, the Knockouts title looks bad, Masha looks bad after that, this Knockouts Division is literally on life support. The Knockouts needs the NXT Women’s Division like fish need water to live. This is a painful low for the Knockouts. When I look back at the Dollhouse era as miles above this…that’s a sad perspective. Also, where the hell is Lei Ying Lee? She officially signed and has been used like twice since putting pen to paper. She is needed to make this Knockouts Division less awful.

There was definitely some stuff to like. Santino suspending Nic drags things out well, Ryan’s irritating smarmy character is great, Xia looked good in her match Cora, the main event was very good and the impending 6 man with Ace, Rascalz and Wes’ Crew should be fun.

A lot of this show felt like filler or just matches for the sake of matches. But it was at least mostly tolerable, and I have a little intrigue with this Mustafa Ali faction.

“Hola, gente! That’s Spanish for ‘Hi, guys!'” (Technically, “Hello, people”.) “And Spanish is the language they speak in the Dominican Republic. Why am I telling you about this? Because that’s where the Jericho Cruise: Six on the Beach went this year. And tonight on ROH, presented by The Nueve, Your ROH World Champion, we are gonna have a show filled with ROH special matches right from the Jericho Cruise. You’ve never seen it like this before. 20 years of ROH history, and it took Chris Jericho to bring such a festive scenario to you, live here on ROH tonight!

“So you can say that Mark Briscoe, or Bryan Danielson, or Nigel McGuinness, or my personal favorite, Jay Briscoe, is your number one ROH Champion, but after tonight, there is no doubt in my mind, or anybody else’s, that Chris Jericho, The Nueve, is Numero Uno for the ROH Campeonatos. That’s number one for ROH Champions. Enjoy the show tonight, guys, and hopefully we’ll see you next year on the high seas on the Jericho Cruise! Adios, gente! Also Spanish.” Jericho winks and gives a thumbs up, but indeed, ROH has for the first time ever a very special cruise edition! Soak it in, maaan~!

 

Jay Lethal VS Mason Madden w/ Mansoor!

While the former ROH World Champion is ready to get back into the title scene, do not let the belt MXM Collection has in their possession fool you. The Mahogany Hunk & Iron Chic literally stole that ROH World Tag Team Championship right off Sammy Guevara after beating him down! Will Mason make the deck his catwalk? Or will Lethal turn up the Black Machismo?

Turns out, he does! Lethal is bringing out his savage side and the crowd cheers. Mason stands on the corner, but he gets booed. The Code of Honor is skipped, the bell rings, and the two circle. They circle, and the fans duel about fingertip touching! Lethal says okay, and they MEGA POWER TIP TOUCH~! But then Mason KNEES Lethal low! The fans boo but Mansoor says that’s what Lethal gets! Mason CLUBS Lethal, stomps away in the corner, then struts his way to a POSE! The fans are torn, Mason whips, but Lethal ducks ‘n’ dodges, then slides under to JAB! JAB! JAB! Lethal JABS again and again and again, high then low, then he winds up for a HAYMAKER!

Mason staggers to a corner, Lethal climbs up on him, and Lethal rains down fists! The fans count along, but Mason stops things at 5! Lethal slips free of the atomic drop to ELBOW Mason down! Lethal goes up, AX HANDLE! Cover, TWO! Mason is tougher than that but Lethal goes to the corner. Lethal climbs, and he AX- NO, Mason catches him for a CHOKE BOMB! Cover, TWO! Mansoor complains, Mason stomps Lethal, and then Mason throat chops Lethal! Mason runs corner to corner and ELBOWS Lethal! The fans rally and duel, but Mason whips Lethal to ropes, LEG LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Lethal is also tougher than that, but MXM talks trash to fans.

Mason drags Lethal up, wrenches, and he hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Mason wrenches for another ELBOW BREAKER, and another, and another! The fans boo, but then Mason CLUBS the bad arm. Mason POSES, but Lethal powers up! Lethal CHOPS, but Mason HEADBUTTS! Mason runs in, Lethal dodges, then goes up and over in the corner! Lethal goes up the other corner to CROSSBODY! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Mansoor is upset, he tells fans to stop cheering, but Lethal and Mason stand. Mason ROCKS Lethal, but Lethal JABS! Mason ROCKS Lethal, Lethal JABS, and repeat!

The fans fire up as Lethal winds up, to JAB! JAB! JAB! Lethal winds up to ROCK Mason! But Mason is, uh, Maddening up? Lethal throws more hands, but Mason just feeds off them! Lethal throws one more shot and Mason shouts, “YOU~!” Lethal flips Mason off and the haymakers fly! Mason counter punches, whips, and BOOTS! Mason keeps copying the Immortal One, then he runs to drop the leg, but he misses! Lethal hurries up a corner, and he hits the MACHO- NO, Lethal blocks Mason’s boot first! Lethal stands Mason up, dodges his lariat, and handsprings, LETHAL INJECTION! A bit double-edged given how big Mason is, so that’s a big fall!

Both men are down and the fans rally up! Lethal rises, staggers, but he finds his way to a corner. Mansoor throws a fit as Lethal climbs, for the MACHO ELBOW!! Cover, Machismo wins!

Winner: Jay Lethal, by pinfall

Mansoor is really upset now! But good thing they aren’t the tag champions, because they’d owe Lethal a title shot! But speaking of a title shot, could Lethal be back on the rise towards the top of ROH?

 

ROH shares post-show footage from last week.

Athena and Billie Starkz returned backstage after Athena won yet another Proving Grounds match, but Athena still wasn’t happy with Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths. Athena makes Billie take a seat, and then tells her to share what she learned from watching Athena wrestle! Billie says she learned how to choke someone out, how to knock someone out- That’s it? That’s all she learned!? If that’s all Billie learned, than she is an IDIOT! Just like her stupid country bumpkin family! Athena is trying to save Billie! Athena is trying to make Billie better for the world of ROH.

Yet time and time again, Billie proves she is an imbecile, that she can’t cut it, and that she is nothing but what Louisville, Kentucky made her: a nothing! So, Billie… GET IT TOGETHER!! The Fallen Goddess storms off, but will Billie ever get out from under her thumb?

 

Billie Starkz VS Harley Cameron!

Last week she was getting grilled by the Minion Overlord, but this week, she gets to just be herself here on the Jericho Cruise! Will she show Athena what she’s really learned by fighting her way to a third shot at the ROH Women’s World Championship? Or will she #FeelTheWrath as this wild Aussie (at this point in time) fights to prove she belongs?

The fans chant “FEEL THE WRATH!” as she and Billie circle. The fans then chant “Both These Girls!” as they tie up. Billie waistlocks, Harley headlocks and says, “Feel the Wrath!” The fans cheer, but Billie pops out the back. Billie grinds the arm, mocks the ref’s admonishing, but Harley fights up. Harley wrenches to wristlock, then hammerlock, then headlock! The fans cheer, but Billie pops out the back to waistlock. They go to ropes, Harley tries but can’t buck free. Billie lets off and she SPANKS Harley! The fans cheer the cheeky nature, but Harley rushes up on Billie. Harley waistlocks, Billie headlocks, but Harley powers up and out.

Harley drop toeholds Billie, then SPANKS her! The fans cheer the cheeky return! Billie and Harley reset, and Billie throws her armbands off! Billie runs up, Harley dodges, then she rolls over the dropdown. Things speed up, Harley dodges and DROPKICKS Billie down! The fans fire up and Harley puts Billie in a corner. Harley climbs up, and she rains down fists! The fans count along, and Harley stops at nine, to SMOTHER Billie! Well, it’s a very tropical cruise, guess those are the coconuts! The fans fire up, but Billie storms up to SUPERKICK! Then she hits a DDT! Billie says this ends now! Billie storms up on Harley to stomp a mudhole!

The ref reprimands, Billie tells the ref to back off, and Billie still tries to get the taste out of her mouth. Billie ROCKS Harley, and she can’t help but hear fans chant things like “I Want Next!” She asks them, “What is wrong with you?” One fan chants back, “We Are Wasted!” Billie bumps Harley off buckles, then whips corner to corner. Harley bounces off buckles hard, Billie flexes, and the fans cheer. Billie drags Harley up and says take a shot of this! She CHOKES Harley on ropes! The ref counts, Billie stops at 4, and she bumps Harley off buckles. Billie bullies the ref again, then storms up on Harley. Billie ROCKS Harley, whips corner to corner, then runs up, only for Harley to ROCK her!

Harley ROCKS Billie again, then again! The fans rally, Harley kicks, but Billie blocks! Billie ducks the enzigiri just in time, and she digs a knee into Harley’s back! Billie has the chinlock, Harley fights it, and Harley slowly stands up. The fans rally, Harley fires body shots, but Billie knees low! Billie whips, Harley ducks ‘n’ dodges, but so does Billie! Harley LARIATS! And LARIATS! And LARIATS again! Harley kicks ow, reels Billie in, and HOTSHOT BULLDOGS! Then an AX KICK in the ropes! “FEEL THE WRATH!” MORE SMOTHERING! Then headscissor CHOKE! The ref counts, Harley lets Billie go, and she lines up a shot!

Harley runs in, dodges a lariat, ENZIGIRI! Cover, TWO! Billie survives and Harley pounds the mat in frustration. The fans rally and duel, and Harley reels Billie in again. Pump handle, lift, but Billie fights free! Billie waistlocks, Harley switches, but Billie switches! The switching continues, and then Billie ripcords! Harley ducks, pump handles, and SAIDOS! Cover, TWO!! Billie survives and Harley is shocked! The fans rally even harder as Harley builds speed, but Billie cravats for the SMASH! Billie puts Harley in a corner, but Harley dodges the lariat! Harley comes back, but Billie ELBOWS her! And BOOTS her!

Harley blocks more boots, but Billie hits the REBOUND ENZIGIRI! Then a GHOSTBUSTER! Cover, TWO?!? Harley survives and Billie is furious! Billie knocks Harley into the drop zone, then she goes up. The fans rally for Harley and that annoys Billie. SWANTON FLOP! Harley ghost pins, HARLEY WINS!!

Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall

Her ROH career is now 4-2, but that’s also a win over the inaugural ROH Women’s World Television Champion! Could this be a sign that Harley is destined for greatness?

 

AEW International Championship Title Eliminator: Konosuke Takeshita VS Tommy Billington!

It was July 13th, 2024 when The Alpha and The Dynamite Kid had an incredible Collision, but that was before Konosuke was a Double Champion. Will Konosuke be 2-0 now that he’s only gotten stronger? Or will Tommy use this cruise to grab a golden ticket?

The bell rings and the fans tell off Don Callis even though he’s not here. Konosuke and Tommy circle, tie up, and Tommy arm-drags! Konosuke gets up in a huff, circles with Tommy, and they tie up. Konosuke waistlocks but Tommy wrenches and wristlocks. Konosuke moves around, rolls, then trips Tommy to a toehold. Tommy endures, pries at the grip, and he brings Konosuke’s arm around to wrench and YANK! And YANK! Tommy wristlocks, Konosuke headlocks and hits the takeover, but Tommy headscissors! Konosuke kips free and the fans cheer as they reset. The two tie up, Tommy headlocks, but Konosuke powers up and out.

Konosuke drops down, but Tommy comes back to run him over! Things keep moving, Konosuke hurdles but Tommy waistlocks! O’Conner Roll, TWO! Tommy is sent to the apron! Konosuke hurries to suplex Tommy in, but Tommy slips free and- NO, Konosuke bucks the O’Conner! Things speed up, and Tommy hits an INVERTED MONKEY FLIP! Tommy hurries up, but Konosuke hits ropes! That trips Tommy up and the fans are torn. Konosuke storms back up to ROCKET LAUNCH Tommy! The fans cheer while Konosuke climbs. Tommy goes to the adjacent side, out of the drop zone, so Konosuke hops down.

Konosuke storms up to ROCK Tommy with a forearm. Konosuke brings something out from inside his boot? He climbs up on the corner, and he starts jabbing Tommy with that item! The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but Konosuke stops at 4. Reveal: it’s a SPORK! Konosuke was trying to dig into Tommy like he’s a buffet dinner! Konosuke “apologizes,” puts Tommy in another corner, and he JABS at Tommy with the spork again and again! Then Konosuke throws it to a fan! What a souvenir. Konosuke hits a BIG suplex, covers, TWO! Tommy stays in this but Konosuke stays on him with a chinlock.

Konosuke headstands to put on pressure, then drops down to crank the hold. Tommy endures, the fans rally up, and Tommy fights to his feet. Tommy fires body shots, but Konosuke knees low! The fans are torn but Konosuke lifts Tommy. BLUE THUNDER- NO, Tommy fights the bomb with elbows! Konosuke shoves Tommy to ropes, then catches him on the rebound for a back suplex! But Tommy lands out! Tommy waistlocks, Konosuke elbows free then runs, but Tommy CLOBBERS him! Tommy whips, then CLOBBERS Konosuke again! Tommy reels Konosuke in, snap suplex! The fans fire up as Tommy climbs a corner!

Tommy reaches the top, but Konosuke stands, so Tommy MISSILE DROPKICKS Konosuke down! The fans fire up again as Tommy stalks Konosuke to a corner. Tommy whips corner to corner, but Konosuke reverses. Konosuke runs in, but Tommy dodges! Tommy gets moving, he ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, and he gut wrenches Konosuke?! But Konosuke turns that around! Only for Tommy to turn it back around! TOMBSTONE! Konosuke is down, but Tommy goes back up! DIVING HEADBUTT FLOPS! Konosuke avoids disaster to then POWER DRIVE KNEE!! Tommy sputters, but Konosuke hauls him up! BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Cover, Konosuke wins!

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall (denies Tommy Billington a title match)

The Dynamite Kid almost had The Alpha, but it’s the same as before: Konosuke standing tall. With both the AEW International and NEVER Openweight Championships in his hands, will no one stop Konosuke Takeshita from taking over the wrestling world?

 

The Outrunners VS Grizzled Young Veterans!

Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd may be fighting The Learning Tree on Dynamite, but they’ve got something to prove to Zack Gibson & James Drake here in ROH. The Outrunners outdid three other teams in last week’s Fatal 4 Way, will they win again now that it’s 2v2? Or will the Youngest Men Alive learn to #GritYourTeeth?

The fans are all fired up for “OUTRUNNERS! OUTRUNNERS!” GYV gets annoyed, especially as they get nothing but boos. The teams sort out, Truth starts against Drake, and the fans rally up. They tie up, Drake headlocks, but Truth powers up and out. Drake RAMS Truth, but Truth flexes! The fans cheer but Drake is annoyed. Drake backs off to talk this over with Gibson, and then Drake resets with Truth. They tie up, Drake CLUBS Truth on the back, then he wrenches. Truth wrenches back! The fans cheer as Truth wrenches again, but Drake rolls, handsprings, and he throws Truth down by his hair! The fans boo while Drake mocks the flexing.

Drake stands Truth up to ROCK him and whip him! Truth ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl and RANA! The fans fire up for Truth as he spins! Truth tags Turbo, they hand off the wrench, and the fans cheer Turbo on. Turbo wristlocks, but Drake pulls hair! The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but Gibson gets a cheap shot in! Gibson tags in and he UPPERCUTS Turbo! Gibson stands Turbo up to bring him around for a whip. Turbo reverses, then he scoops, but Gibson slips free! But Turbo gives him the Bruce Lee backhand! And then he flexes! The fans cheer, Turbo spins, and he brings Gibson up to tag in Truth.

The Outrunners double whip to body shot, atomic drop, then Manhattan Drop! Gibson flops over, Turbo fireman’s carries him, but Drake runs in! Truth intercepts with a fireman’s carry of his own! And then DOUBLE AIRPLANE SPINS~! The fans fire up as GYV ends up all dizzy! They stagger around, bump into each other, and then help steady each other. But then The Outrunners get them for DOUBLE ATOMIC DROPS! And GYV again bumps into each other! GYV falls over, The Outrunners spin around, and the fans are all fired up! Truth brings Gibson up, whips him to the corner, but Gibson BOOTS him!

Gibson elbows Turbo, but Truth JABS! JABS! JABS! Gibson headlocks, Drake tags in before Truth powers out! GYV drop down, trip Truth, then basement DROPKICK! Then MAYHEM IN MOTION for Turbo! GYV mock the spinning, then say “SUCK IT!” The fans boo, but Drake taunts Turbo, which also distracts the ref. Gibson has Truth on the ramp, whips him at the ropes, then ELBOWS him down! Truth sputters on the apron, Gibson plays innocent, and Drake drags Truth up. But Truth RAMS into Drake, slingshots over for the sunset flip, but Drake stays up! Drake flails, flails, reaches out, tag to Gibson!

Truth has the sunset, but Gibson ELBOWS him in the head! Gibson CLAWS Truth’s back while the fans boo and the ref reprimands. Gibson stomps Truth in the corner, digs his boots in, but he stops at 4. Gibson tells Turbo to stay back, then he ROCKS Truth. Tag to Drake, GYV mug Truth, but the fans rally up. Drake DECKS Truth, then he clamps on with a SLEEPER! Truth is already so red, but the fans rally up as he fights up! Truth fires body shots, reaches for Turbo, and repeat! The fans rally as Truth keeps trying, but Drake kicks him! Drake whips Truth to the GYV corner, but Truth BLASTS Gibson!

Drake runs in, Truth goes up and over! Truth reaches out but Drake just pulls him back! Drake kicks low, reels Truth in, but it’s Truth who suplexes Drake! The fans fire up, Truth crawls, but Drake anchors him again! Drake tags Gibson, GYV mugs Truth! They double whip, but Truth grabs ropes! Truth BOOTS Gibson, ELBOWS Drake, then dodges Drake to use Gibson as a step, FLYING HOT TAG! The fans fire up as Turbo now rallies on GYV! Haymaker after haymaker, then scoop SLAM after scoop SLAM! Turbo is all fired up, and he gives GYV a meeting of the minds! Then he LARIATS Drake up and out!

Gibson CLUBS Turbo, but that only angers Turbo! The fans fire up as Turbo flexes! Gibson takes another swing, but into a scoop! Truth joins in so it’s a DOUBLE SLAM! Then Truth winds up, and says, “Turbo Floyd! You SONOVA B*TCH!” They shake hands, and DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! The fans fire up again, Turbo scoops, but Gibson sends him into Truth! The fans boo but Gibson rolls Turbo, with tights! TWO!! Turbo escapes, but Gibson fireman’s carries! But Turbo slips free, kicks low, and reels Gibson in! Scoop and SNOWPLOW! The fans fire up as Turbo waits on Gibson! Gibson distracts the ref, and Drake CHOKES Turbo with the scarf!

Drake THROWS Turbo down, then acts like he did nothing wrong. The fans boo but Gibson stalks Turbo now. Gibson rains fists down on Turbo, then he tags in Drake. Drake climbs up and flexes while Gibson Electric Chair Lifts Turbo. But Truth saves Turbo, and they send Gibson into Drake! Truth DECKS Gibson, and Turbo brings Drake off the corner, into TOTAL RECALL! Cover, Outrunners win!

Winners: The Outrunners, by pinfall

Gibson can’t believe it, but he and Drake got caught by the living throwbacks! Truth & Turbo are running on all cylinders, will they finally have themselves a tag title opportunity?

 

Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.

Earlier this week, Lexy Nair was with the One True African Queen and pointed out her great roll in ROH. What are her goals for 2025? Before Aminata can say anything, Serena Deeb walks in. Aminata rolls her eyes as she’s not surprised. The Professor says she knows she’s sounding like a broken record, but she sees so much potential in Aminata. Aminata is a superstar, and Serena is a big fan. But Aminata is listening to all the wrong people. Like most of these “girls” today, Aminata is more concerned about shaking dat ass on TV than about winning! This is professional wrestling. Pound for pound, bell to bell, Serena is the best pure wrestler in ROH & AEW.

She is the Woman of 1000 Holds. So Queen, how about they mix it up a bit? They should do this in a Pure Rules Match! Aminata is a bit surprised by that. Is that what The Professor wants? Then the Queen is ready. Name the time and place, and the queen that “shakes her ass” will be there. Serena says okay, see you in Deeb’s Dojo. When and where will we see these two reignite their rivalry and finally put it to the test?

 

Ricochet VS Serpentico!

Not only is this the Jericho Cruise debut of The One & Only, it is also the Honor Club debut of The One & Only! Will Ricochet make this special edition episode #OuttaThisWorld? Or will he be far away when the SNAKEMAN enters his veins?

The bell rings and fans are chanting “RICO-SH*T!” in reference to the toilet paper raining down in Cincinnati. Ricochet and Serpentico tie up, and Ricochet pulls on the mask to put Serpentico in a corner! Ricochet climbs up on Serpentico while still pulling the mask but the ref counts. Ricochet stops at 4, backs off, and the ref reprimands. Ricochet says that was a clean break. The fans keep chanting and Serpentico encourages them to get louder. Ricochet and Serpentico circle, tie up, and Ricochet waistlocks to headlock. Serpentico powers up and out, but Ricochet runs him over. Ricochet flexes, the fans are torn, but things speed up.

Serpentico stays low, then hurdles over. Ricochet leaps over Serpentico, Serpentico ducks ‘n’ dodges lariats to then RANA! The fans fire up and Serpentico DRPOKICKS! Ricochet flounders to the ramp, and he storms off. The ref says to get back in the ring but Ricochet takes his time huffing and puffing. Ricochet storms up to the ropes but Serpentico is there. Ricochet backs off, and now fans taunt him with “BALD! BALD!” Ricochet says he wants to get int he ring and that Serpentico is too close! The ref has Serpentico stand back, Ricochet storms in, but Serpentico dodges! Serpentico ROCKS Ricochet with ahymakers!

The fans fire up as Serpentico UPPERCUTS in the corner! Serpentico whips corner to corner, then runs in, but Ricochet uses the ref as a shield! The fans boo but then Ricochet LARIATS Serpentico down! The ref reprimands, Ricochet “apologizes,” then he drops elbow after elbow. The fans keep taunting “BALD~!” “RICO-SH*T!” but Ricochet stomps Serpentico. Ricochet has Serpentico at the ropes to then JUMP STOMP! The fans keep jeering but Ricochet just soaks it up. Ricochet storms up on Serpentico but Serpentico fires body shots! Ricochet CLUBS Serpentico, follows him to the corner, then whips corner to corner hard!

Serpentico falls, Ricochet flexes, and fans boo. Ricochet flaps his wings to mock the fans, then covers, TWO! Ricochet keeps Serpentico down with a headscissors. Ricochet turns over to DRIVE Serpentico into the mat! Serpentico endures and the fans rally up. Ricochet says he’ll squash Serpentico’s head! He again DRIVES Serpentico’s head into the mat! Serpentico fights his way back to bridging cover! TWO and Ricochet has let Serpentico go! Serpentico fires fast hands, then he UPPERCUTS! Serpentico runs, into a SPINEBUSTER! Ricochet then mocks The People’s Champoin before hitting the PEOPLE’S MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO!

Ricochet argues that the count was bad but the ref defends the count. The fans rally for Serpentico but Ricochet tells them he’s the one winning! But Serpentico ELBOWS Ricochet down! Serpentico goes to a corner, BOOTS Ricochet, then dodges Ricochet! ENZIGIRI, schoolboy, basement SUPERKICK! Then a FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! The fans rally as Serpentico hurries up a corner! Serpentico aims, but Ricochet avoids the stomps! Serpentico handsprings through, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Ricochet Tiger Wall Kicks, SOBATS, KNEE LIFTS, and DISCUS LARIATS! Ricochet roars, fans are torn, but Ricochet RUNNING SHOOTING STARS! Cover, TWO!

Serpentico survives, Ricochet again argues the count, but the ref says two is two. Ricochet taunts the Serpentico fans, scuffs Serpentico, then stands him up. Fireman’s carry and GO TO- DESTROYER!! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives but Serpentico hurries up top! FROG SPLASH onto knees! Cover, TWO! Ricochet hurries to dragon sleeper, and VERTICO DRIVER!! Ricochet isn’t done, he locks ‘n’ loads for the SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

The One & Only wins and does his best Stone Cold by flipping off the fans from the corner. Will Ricochet make sure no one, not in AEW and not in ROH, can stop his rise to the top?

 

ROH World Television Championship: Komander VS Nick Wayne!

The Commander of the Skies may be picking a fight with La Faccion Ingobernable, but he still has gold to defend. Will he soon be the Commander of the Seas with this one? Or will The Prodigy make The Patriarchy proud?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who sails away with the treasure!

Surprisingly, there are fans who actually like Nick Wayne. The Code of Honor is offered but not upheld by Nick. The bell rings, Nick and Komander circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and Nick puts on the pressure. The fans taunt Nick with “Where’s Your Mom? Where’s Your Mom?” Komander endures the knuckle lock, rolls through, but Nick puts on more pressure. They double knuckle lock, and Nick uses his height to put on the pressure. Komander fights up, they go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength, and Komander manages to push Nick back. Komander then kicks, goes up, and MONKEY FLIPS!

Both men hurry up, and Nick MONKEY FLIPS in return, only for Komander to land out! Komander ducks a kick, whips Nick, but Nick manages a SWINGING ARM-DRAG! Things keep moving, Komander wheelbarrows to arm-drag! Nick sweeps to cover, ONE! Komander sweeps to cover, ONE! Both men dropkick, those cancel out, and both men handspring up! The fans cheer as these two stare down! The fans rally and duel, the two circle again, and Komander encourages the fans to get louder. But Nick attacks from behind! Nick stomps a mudhole in, then he scuffs Komander. The ref reprimands and Nick backs off.

Nick taunts the fans cheering Komander, then he drags Komander up. Komander fires body shots but Nick whips. Komander goes up, over, around, handsprings, and superhero lands! Then he runs to tilt-o-whirl RANA! Nick flounders to the ramp, Komander takes aim! Springboard and CROSS- NO, Nick kicks low, then DDTS Komander on the ramp! The fans are stunned while Nick rises up. Nick hobbles, brings Komander up, and shoves him up the ramp! Nick goes to the ring, he wants the count out! Komander hurries, he makes it back to ringside at 15 of 20! Komander is in and Nick is annoyed.

The fans taunt Nick more as he sees the bloody scrape on his hand. Nick shows that off to the fans, then flips them off! Nick even licks his own blood! The fans tell Nick that he’s sick! Nick ROCKS Komander, throws more hands, then stalks Komander to ropes. Nick ROCKS Komander again, then stomps him in the corner. Nick climbs up, taunts the fans more, then he digs his knuckles into Komander’s eyes! The ref counts, Nick hops down, and he shows the bloody scrape on his hand again. Nick brings Komander from the corner, snapmares and covers, ONE! Komander is tougher than this, but Nick keeps cool.

Nick sits Komander up to KNEE him in the back! The fans rally for Komander but Nick KNEES him in the back again. Nick then KICKS Komander in the back, covers, TWO! Komander stays in this and Nick grows frustrated. The fans rally, Nick says stop that, and he drops a leg on Komander! And another leg drop! And then Nick winds up, for a leap and scuff! The fans boo but Nick soaks it up again. Nick’s handful of fans get louder, but Komander victory rolls him! TWO! Nick kicks low, whips, but Komander reverses to fire off kick after kick! Komander runs, springboards, FLYING ARM-DRAG! Nick hobbles up, Komander whips.

Nick reverses the whip, Komander LEAPS out to the ramp! The fans cheer as Komander comes back, but Nick RAMS him! Nick slingshots up and over, comes back, but into a SUPERKICK! Komander springboards to ASAI MOONSAULT! Direct hit and the fans fire up again! Komander tosses Nick in, goes up a corner, and he tightrope walks to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Nick escapes in time and Komander nods, even he has to admit Nick’s tough. Komander goes to the apron, the fans rally up, and Komander feeds off that energy! Komander goes up, takes aim, but Nick hits ropes to trip him up!

Komander flops to the mat while the fans boo, but Nick has a cocky grin. Nick talks trash on the fans, then kicks Komander around. Nick goes corner to corner and back again, but Komander ELBOWS him! Komander fires forearms, but Nick SUPERKICKS! Then full nelson, SNAP DRAGON! Bridging cover, TWO!! Nick hurries to SUPERKICK again! Then the FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Not quite perfect but Nick watches Komander rise! Nick calls his shot, ROUNDHOUSE! And then up, up, and WAYNE’S- NO, Komander dodges,  goes up and up, for a FLYING DESTROYER!!

Nick flounders onto ropes, Komander sees that and dials it up! 619! Nick flops back, Komander borrows the captain’s hat and climbs up! Tightrope walk and CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!

Winner: Komander, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)

Nick is definitely a prodigy for him to step to Komander like this! But in the end, Komander is still in charge as a champion! Will no one replace him as the Face of ROH TV?


My Thoughts:

A great ROH here, clocking in at an hour and 15, but also with it being part of the Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Rager match card. There was a lot more to what the cruise had in store, but that’s obviously all for the paying guests on the ship. A little surprised they didn’t make time for Black Machismo’s marriage proposal to Lexy Nair… But that was a great match, always fun for Lethal to bust out his Randy Savage. Also, I feel like Mason & Mansoor stealing and bedazzling Sammy Guevara’s ROH World Tag Team Championship belt is them burying the lead, there should’ve been a promo where we saw them do all that to the belt.

Very good promo from Athena and Billie, but as I’ve been saying, they really need to wrap this story. There’s only so much that they can do to stretch this out, so the next ROH event needs to be the finale. But that aside, very good match between Billie and Harley, and what a great win for Harley. Harley got to really shine on that cruise as she also had a concert with Jericho. And while a good promo from Aminata and Serena, it’s a touch disappointing they’re only going back to this unfinished feud all because Britt Baker buried what would’ve been Dentist VS Professor pretty much from the jump. But hey, silver lining: Deeb wants a Pure Rules Match, and I genuinely would love a Women’s Pure Championship as another great avenue for the women of AEW & ROH.

Very good match from Konosuke and Tommy, but even with this just being a Title Eliminator, I figured Konosuke would win. Konosuke has only gotten even more powerful since that match on Collision last July, Tommy was not going to beat the DUAL International & NEVER Champion, and certainly not on the Jericho Cruise. Outrunners VS GYV was really good stuff, and The Outrunners are definitely on a run. MXM VS Dustin & Sammy is the clear ROH World Tag title match, but in the off chance MXM wins, MXM VS Outrunners could be some really good stuff. Ricochet VS Serpentico was really good, too, but of course Ricochet won while embracing that Heel Heat.

And a great main event from Komander VS Nick Wayne, but again, there was not going to be a title change on the Jericho Cruise. Komander will still be facing Lee Johnson at some point for this title. That match may have even been recorded already and is just waiting to be plugged into the Honor Club schedule. It was announced that ROH Global Wars would return as part of the Grand Slam: Australia taping this Saturday, I didn’t see Komander VS Johnson on that card, so it might be the week after.

My Score: 8.7/10
