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! Match Results & Ratings: 9.19.2024

Victory Road was damn good, but behind us now. So let’s see how the build for Bound for Glory starts!

Published

on

Well hot damn, Victory Road was a solid night of action, surprises and an overall enjoyable watch. Even with the major let down segments of SDL and the Knockouts Tag, they were placed right in the middle…so there was energy aplenty for the last four matches. We do get to see where they’re going with Bound For Glory in about 6 weeks.

My fantasy booking has The System, ABC and Hardyz heading towards a championship 3 way dance. DeMALISH is done, so at least Masha is back on the singles circuit. Lets hope she makes short work of Lish and/or Tasha.

Time to see where the early steps take us on the way to Bound for Glory.

Ratings:

  • First Cla$$ (KC Navarro & AJ Francis) vs Sinner & Saint ( Judas Icarus & Travis Williams): First Cla$$ win via Down Payment/Frog Splash combo – ** 1/4
  • Matt Cardona vs Rhino: Cardona DQ’d – My time wasted
  • Knockouts Tag Championship: Spitfire (Dani Luna & Jody Threat) (c) vs Kendal Grey & Carlee Bright: Spirefire retains via Pressure Drop – * 1/2
  • Texas Death Match: JDC vs Mike Santana: Santana wins – ** 3/4
  • Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers & Tasha Steelz w/Alisha Edwards vs Masha Slamovich & The Hardyz: Hardyz win via Twist & Swanton combo – *** 1/4

 

Results:

Lish talks smack, Masha comes out, Lish says she doesn’t even understand her – AND FINALLY – Masha speaks English. So she runs down Lish, says she’s sick of her but Tasha jumps Masha from behind. Lish grabs Kendra, attacks Masha and we see Tasha and Lish beatdown Masha until Jordynne makes the save for Masha. The System comes out to tip the numbers game, but then The Hardyz come out to save Masha and Jordynne. 

Santino’s goofy music hits and I guess we’re heading to the 3×3 since Lish is still injured. Masha Slamabitch and the Hard Boyz will fight Tasha and System boys. Arianna’s music hits before Santino can say something to Jordynne, and she declares Jordynne gets an NXT friend next week to fight Rosemary and Wendy Choo. I just like Santino and Arianna playing together. It’s wholesomely moronic. 

First Cla$$ (KC Navarro & AJ Francis) vs Sinner & Saint ( Judas Icarus & Travis Williams)

KC and Travis start off, KC hits some athletic counters, taunts a little and extends the hand but Travis turns it into an Arm Whip, tags in Icarus, they Double Team, AJ blind tags as KC rope runs, Spiderman pose in the ropes, AJ levels  Icarus, KC takes out Travis, hits the tandem move The Deposit, into Tennessee Whiskey. KC tags back in, Snapmare into Footstomp and a near fall before AJ tags back in. They go for a tandem move on Icarus in the corner, but Icarus dumps KC to the outside, turns a Suplex into a DDT, and then crawls to Travis for simultaneous tags as Travis is working KC over. KC powders, tries to change sides but Sinner and Saint tandem redirect the dive. Inverted Suplex for a near fall.

AJ comes in, Lawn Darts Icarus into Travis, Down Payment, Frog Splash from KC…and First Cla$$ win!

Matt Cardona vs Rhino

Obviously just a step towards the eventual PCO versus Cardona, prolly at Bound for Glory. So this match is useless and Cardona has no reason to lose.

Cardona tries to pick his spot, but just gets his Foot picked out of mid air, and Rhino throws Cardona around the ring, Lariat, sets up for a Gore…but Cardona powders. Rhino follows and Suplexes Cardona onto the ramp, throws him back in and a Throat Chop from Cardona finally gives him some space. Missile Dropkick for an unnecessary pinfall, and then just grinding the Forearm into Rhino’s face in the corner. 10 Count Punches turned into a Powerbomb from Rhino for 2.

Rhino goes to get a chair, the ref admonishes him, Rhino throws the chair in, Cardona uses it in front of the referee and gets DQ’d. Radio Silence on Rhino after the DQ, Cardona looks to continue the punishment but lights go out and PCO attacks. Chokeslam, goes for the PCO-Sault, but Cardona powders and runs away. PCO goes full Ric Flair, attacks the chair and then PCO-Saults a steel chair.

Well…that’s new. 

Knockouts Tag Championship: Spitfire (Dani Luna & Jody Threat) (c) vs Kendal Grey & Carlee Bright

You know how I’ve said these titles are useless right? Now they’re being defended against…no one. Bright Grey? That’s not even a Crayola Crayon color. I think I would enjoy constipation more than this match.

Jody and…Grey?… start and its just slow, headlocky, I guess trying to get across Grey’s amateur background, but it looks terribly…meh. Dani tags in and now my attention is peaked. Powerbomb attempt but Grey tries to slip it into a Cradle, Dani kicks out, catches Grey and Sack of Shit into Kip Up. Tandem Stalling Suplex after the tag, but only 2. Dani gets tagged in, they don’t seem to be taking Grey super seriously, so Grey finally kicks off and gets the tag to Bright. Okay, Cartwheel Knees is unique offense, not the Cheerleader Back Handspirng, I can respect that. Oh nice Standing Moonsault from Bright. Grey tags in, Jody takes a few seconds too long for the “blind tag”, Senton off the ropes to kill the two NXT girls, Pressure Drop, title retained.

Burn these belts and push Dani as a singles. 

Texas Death Match: JDC vs Mike Santana

Jade looks like she’s cosplaying Peg Bundy during the intros but…ya know…not complaining. And it sounds like they’re doing the rules correctly with pinfall and then 10 count. So, that’s nice the rules seem to be clear.

JDC tries to attack Santana as he comes in from the crowd, Santana turns it around as expected and starts running JDC from corner to corner, Enzuigiri and multiple Bootwash corner spots. Santana looks for a Cannonball, but JDC powders, so Santana stalks a little, Tope con Hilo connects! Santana finds some chairs as the morons start chanting for tables when it’s 4 minutes in. That chant just screams inbred and stupid anymore.

Santana puts the two chairs back to back and looks to hit the old Eddie Kingston spot on JDC, but JDC fights it off, 10 count punches that JDC counters with the Powerbomb through the back to back chairs. Trash can and kendo stick time for Dango. Dude, Stomp is soo 1999 but its apparently cool in Texas. DOWN AND DIRTY on the trash can from JDC! But he can’t cover since now he’s selling his own pain for dropping on a can. Santana smartly powders and JDC tries to remember how to walk. Santana crawls up to his feet bleeding, but he also found a Barbedwire Bat! Dango tries to grab him, BAT TO FACE! Of course they head to a commercial right as the match gets bloody…sigh.

So we’re back and they’re fighting in the crowd, or no, some staging area about the crowd. Dango is bleeding, Santana is bleeding, Santana counters Dango and hits a Piledriver on the stage for 2! Brawling up some steps, JDC kicks off Santana and connects with a Tornado DDT for 2! Santana rolls over and flops off the stage as he crawls to…somewhere. JDC with the low speed pursuit, he finally charges and gets tossed into some broken barricade makeshift something! Santana slams a production case into Dango a few times, as Dango tries to crawl up a table to get away. Santana walks back up to the stage, and stops himself mid-charge. FINDS A LADDER. Santana gets the ref and someone else to hold it, goes to the top of the ladder…and Splash through JDC on the table.

Takes entirely too long, so while it looks cool its pretty stupid. 1-2-3, the pinfall happens, but lets see if the 10 count holds. 10 count goes through, Santana wins.

Moose attacks afterwards and just beats the tar out of him with a chair.

Hendry comes out, Kaz interrupts, Nic Nemeth basically agrees to fight everyone. So Santino makes it shot and succulent, and decides for Hendry and Kaz to have a number 1 contender match next week. Nothing of crazy merit was said during the promo, so I decided to take Santino’s directions and go for short and succulent. 

Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers & Tasha Steelz w/Alisha Edwards vs Masha Slamovich & The Hardyz

Well right after intros they cut to a commercial, so maybe we won’t get anymore. Tasha and Masha start off, and throw fists fast, things stay close and they trade. Masha gets the advantage after a Drop Toe Hold into the middle rope, kick to the face, running knees and Tasha tags out to Eddie. Masha doesn’t care she wants to fight Eddie but Eddie cheap shots Matt on the apron and Matt tells Masha to tag him in. So Eddie doesn’t look like a completely shitty heel, and the crowd pops for a Hardy.

Matt chokes Eddie along the ropes, Leg Drape attack and tags in my name is Jeff. A little classic Hardy tandem work, Myers just runs in, stack the dorks, Splash version of Poetry in Motion. System gets Lariated out, Tasha tries to attack Matt but Masha eats Tasha. Whips her 3 times into corners and Poetry in Moscow. All of the System is on the outside, so Masha goes to the top, Senton off the top rope and Bowling Balls The System. Ugh…picture in picture is awful…stop with commercials at bad times. I really miss the commercial free YouTube version.

So to no one’s surprise, of course The System take control during the distraction break, Masha is being isolated, Eddie tags in and he’s taking his sweet time for a chop. So again, Eddie doesn’t make contact. Masha drops Tasha, ducks the men, hot tag to Jeff! Jeff lights up Eddie, looks for Whisper in the Wind but Myers pulls Eddie out of the way and Jeff hits nothing. And unlike Jinder, Eddie didn’t bump to a breeze. Eddie tags out to Myers, Russian Leg Sweep and Front Face Lock is keeping Jeff down. Jeff fights back up, but Myers clocks him. Myers tags in Tasha, and Tasha goes with the Knife Edge Chops on Jeff, mocks the Jeff dance, then twerks in his face before tagging Eddie back in.

Myers attacks Matt off the apron and even Masha, but Jeff starts to fight back, goes for the Whisper again, and this time connects on both! Jeff tags in Matt, so he starts working through the System boys. Neckbreaker into the Delete Headsmashes for both members of the System. Side Effect on Myers for only two. Matt calls for the Twist, the crowd responds well, but the Twist is countered, Lish grabs Matt’s foot but the referee sees it. EJECTION! Poor Tami-Lynn, she doesn’t wanna go, Hardys and Masha laugh and sing the Hey Hey Hey song, Lish says no so the ABC walk down and pick her up and carry her out. Twist of Fates for everyone, Swanton Bomb from Jeff, Hardyz and Masha win!

 

Overall Score: 6/10

Serviceable in regards to setting up most of the threads for Bound for Glory. The actual wrestling could’ve been a lot better, but for a starting point, it could’ve been worse. Xia Li getting her new name revealed, which I like. Some kind of Thunder reference, mixed in with the fact her vignettes give Mortal Kombat vibes, its very cool. The Knockouts Tags definitely feel like useless metal, Santana and JDC was probably better to experience in person, because the commercial break broke the momentum…and Gods damn was that finish sooo slow. At least the Texas Death Match rules were correct.

Crowd was also hot for the Hardyz, so the combination of “evil Russian” dropping the accent and proving to be a Hardy fangirl and get the Hardyz babyface rub sets up Masha nicely. She should be the next face of the Knockouts Division.

Next week we’ll hopefully get a touch more clarity or reasons for multi-person shmoz matches. But reasons are reasons, and this moved in logical enough directions.

PLAY BY PLAY

ROH Women’s World TV Championship Proving Grounds: Red Velvet VS Allysin Kay!

The Chef is cooking, and she even whipped up a new look for the belt! Will Velvet have the whole women’s division seeing red? Or will AK say pinkies out as she eats up this dish?

The Code of Honor is upheld with a pinkie swear, and the two circle. They tie up and Allysin shoves Velvet down. Velvet gets up, dodges Allysin, and wags a finger. Allysin runs up again, Velvet slides under, then she ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl RANA! The fans fire up and Velvet fires off body shots in the corner! Velvet lets off, but then comes back to stomp high and low. Velvet lets off to dig her boot in! The fans cheer as Velvet does the splits and stirs it up. Velvet lets off as the ref counts, then she comes back to fire forearms. Velvet runs, wheelbarrows, but Allysin says no to the bulldog, WHEELBARROW GERMAN! Cover, TWO!

Allysin drags Velvet up to TOSS her to a corner, then CHOPS her! The fans fire up, Allysin CHOPS again. Allysin bumps Velvet off buckles, Velvet hits back, but Allysin fires her own body shots. Then a fireman’s carry to a SAMOAN DROP! Cover, TWO! Allysin drags Velvet up, Velvet fires body shots of her own again! Velvet runs, but Allysin catches the crossbody! FALL AWAY SLAM! Cover, TWO! Velvet toughs it out but Allysin drags her back up. Velvet fires more body shots, Allysin shoves her away, but Velvet runs up. Allysin sidesteps and runs, Velvet CALF KICKS, but Allysin deflects it! Then she gets an ANKLE LOCK!

Velvet endures as Allysin twists the foot. The fans rally, Velvet reaches out, ROPEBREAK! Allysin lets go at 4, then storms back up. Allysin snapmares Velvet, and clamps on with a straitjacket stretch! Velvet endures, even as Allysin digs a knee into her back. The fans rally up, Velvet fights up, and Velvet arm-drags free! Velvet runs up, to tilt-o-whirl and IRON OCTOPUS! Allysin endures, the fans rally, and Allysin powers right into a gut wrench! But Velvet clicks her heels, slips free, and hits a STUNNER! Velvet runs, but into a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Velvet survives and Allysin grows frustrated.

Allysin drags Velvet up and in, Canadian Rack into the Gory Especial, but Velvet sunset flips it! TWO, and both women stand! Velvet LARIATS, but Allysin stays up! Velvet runs again, and she LARIATS again, but Allysin wags her finger. Velvet tries again, ducks Allysin’s lariat and LEAPING LARIATS! Then she CALF KICKS! Allysin falls, Velvet roars and the fans fire up! Velvet runs, wheelbarrows, and STUNNERS! Allysin falls back, Velvet goes after her at the ropes. The fans rally, Velvet pumps up and runs, to DOUBLE KNEE! Velvet YANKS Allysin off ropes, rolls with her, and dragon sleepers! JUST DESSERTS! Cover, Velvet wins!

Winner: Red Velvet, by pinfall (denies Allysin Kay a title match)

A solid win from The Chef, and she tells Diamante that she has the blood of a fighter! Eat, sleep, breathe, wrestling! Will everyone be served up some hot, fresh L’s in Red Velvet’s kitchen?

 

The Dark Order speak.

Dustin Rhodes wants more championships, and it makes Evil Uno sick! Alex Reynolds says that greed will lead to Dustin’s downfall. The funny thing about this Proving Ground is that The Dark Order has nothing to prove. Dustin & Sammy have to show they can beat The Dark Order in 10 minutes. All Dark Order has to do is beat the clock, and then unlike Dustin & Sammy, the Dark Order will earn a title opportunity. Dark Order is ROH, and they vow to get both revenge, and those ROH World Tag Team Championships. Will Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds show the world #DarkOrderisGood enough?

 

The Outrunners speak.

Truth Magnum tells The Iron Savages, “You wanna attack The Outrunners from behind?” Turbo Floyd & Erica Leigh shake their heads. But they don’t call him The Truth for nothing! And the truth is, if you’ve got beef, here are two Grade A master chefs, and they’re running hot! Keep your “savage sauce,” because you’re looking two young men absolutely jacked to the gills on “best-tosterone!” Turbo says the Savages have a few things he can respect: their muscles; their tans; their glitz; but they ain’t got no glamour! That’s what The Outrunners have! And in ROH, if you want it, let him tell you: Any time, any place!

Because if you haven’t seen The Outrunners, you haven’t seen nothing yet! Erica barks, but will Truth & Turbo find they’re barking up the wrong tree?

 

The Premier Athletes speak.

Mark Sterling says, “Whoa, whoa, hold on. Do you recognize this man? Of course you do. Because over a million of you saw him do the most impressive wrestling move you’ve ever seen in your life. But did you just see the move and scroll past it? Or did you actually think about who was the man that did the move? I’ll tell you who that man is. This is Josh Woods, National Champion, 108 collegiate wins, four-time All American! And there’s more where that came from.” Woods says he can do that to anybody. Anytime, anywhere. Then when and where will we see the Technical Beast do that for some gold?

 

The Infantry w/ Trish Adora VS Spanish Announce Project!

While Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo have made amends with The Outrunners, they’re still aiming at the ROH World Tag Team Championships. But that just means they’re one of many, because the reinvigorated Angelico Y Serpentico want their shot! Who rises up the ranks with a win while the other falls in Sioux Falls?

The teams sort out and #BadNews&Tattoos starts against the South African Stud. They shake hands for the Code of Honor, and Bravo gets an “OORAH!” going. Bravo and Angelico circle, the fans rally, and the two tie up. Angelico wrenches, wristlocks, but Bravo reaches down, slips around, and he wristlocks back. Bravo says they’re really wrestling and the fans have a laugh. Bravo keeps on the wrist, but spins, opens the hold, then steps over for a modified cording hold! Then Angelico wrenches the other wrist, but Bravo rolls, handsprings, pops ‘n’ locks and he gets Angelico with that vibe! Then Bravo reels Angelico in for a headlock!

The fans cheer, but Angelico powers up and out. Angelico drops, then hip tosses, but Bravo spins through it to arm-drag! The fans cheer again, Bravo eggs Angelico on, ducks the haymaker, but Angelico ducks the backhand. Bravo ducks the roundhouse, jumps the sweep, and dropkicks cancel out! Angelico spins to his feet while Bravo kips up, and both men Bernie Lean and walk it out! The fans cheer, and the two tag to The Captain and #SNAKEMAN. The fans “OORAH!” with Bravo again, and Dean shakes hands with Serpentico. They tie up, Dean headlocks, but Serpentico powers out. Dean runs Serpentico over!

The fans rally as Bran says Dean is so strong. Things speed up, Dean hurdles but Serpentico ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA! The fans fire up but Dean is on his feet. Dean runs up, but into BOOTS! Dean tries again but Serpentico RANAS! But then Dean arm-drags! And arm-drags again! And DROPKICK! The fans fire up and Dean brings Serpentico up. Dean wrenches Serpentico, tags Bravo, and The Infantry double whip. DOUBLE HIP TOSS! A rough landing for Serpentico, but Infantry DOUBLE FIST DROP! Angelico storms in, Dean blocks a kick, hands it to Bravo, then ENZIGIRIS Bravo slips around to hit a NECKBREAKER!

The fans fire up while Angelico bails out. Serpentico slowly rises, Bravo brings him up, but Serpentico headlocks. Bravo powers out but Angelico tags in. Serpentico ducks Bravo and Angelico scoops to BACKBREAKER! Angelico stands Bravo up, Serpentico runs in, NECKBREAKER DROP BACKBREAKER COMBO! Cover, TWO! Bravo stays in this but Angelico stays on him with a cording hold. Bravo endures, the fans rally up, and Bravo fights up, only for Angelico to knee low! Tag to Serpentico, SAP double whip, then they both drop. Bravo is very surprised by that but clears them both. Angelico hip tosses Bravo, then SAP ZENMAI! Cover, TWO!

The fans rally as Bravo stays in this. Serpentico drags Bravo up, tags Angelico back in, and SAP mugs Bravo. Angelico stomps Bravo while Adora rallies the fans with “Let’s Go, Bravo, Let’s Go!” Bravo CHOPS Angelico, Angelico KNEES low! Angelico JABS Bravo, wrenches and lifts, BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Angelico keeps Bravo down by bending his arm against a knee. Bravo endures, the fans rally, but Angelico top wristlocks. Bravo fights up, fires body shots, but Angelico ROCKS him! Angelico stalks Bravo to ropes, brings him up, and then wrenches. Angelico back suplexes, but Bravo lands out! Bravo reaches out, but Angelico keeps him back!

The fans rally, and Bravo BACKHANDS Angelico away! Hot tags to Dean and Serpentico! The fans fire up as Dean rallies on SAP with LARIAT after LARIAT! Then he floats on Angelico to DDT! Kip up, and he gets Serpentico, spin and “SONIC BOOM~” LARIAT! The fans fire up while Serpentico goes to a corner, and Dean says, “OORAH!” The fans echo “OORAH!” and Dean ELBOWS Serpentico! Bravo tags in then follows Dean as he takes Serpentico side to side. Buckle bump and a BOOT, then Dean goes back to a corner. Bravo bumps Serpentico off buckles again, and Dean runs in to LEAPING LARIAT!

The fans fire up while Dean lands safe on the apron, and Bravo scoops Serpentico to MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Serpentico survives and Bravo is stunned! Dean calls for Boot Camp and he tags in. Dean hooks Serpentico up, Bravo runs, but Angelico trips him! Angelico drags Bravo out to UPPERCUT, and Serpentico snapmares Dean. Serpentico mule kicks, ROCKS and SUPERKICKS! Angelico steps in to clinch and FLATLINER! Serpentico goes up, FROG SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Dean survives and SAP is shocked! The fans rally up but SAP drags Dean up. SAP coordinate, Angelico runs, but Bravo trips Angelico up!

Bravo drags Angelico out now, and ROLLING ELBOW! Serpentico ROCKS Dean, runs, but Bravo returns! Infantry dodges Serpentico to fire off the Captain & Bucky combo! Then DOUBLE ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up with The Infantry, and they hook Serpentico up again. Time for BOOT CAMP!! Cover, Infantry wins!

Winners: The Infantry, by pinfall

SAP put up a fight, but The Infantry are marching up towards the top of the rankings! Bravo says never fear, the Infantry is here! But will they be armed and ready for a title shot in the near future? And perhaps best of all, The Infantry offer the Code of Honor, and SAP takes it!

 

Shane Taylor Promotions speaks.

Anthony Ogogo says it is so good to be Anthony Ogogo! The skull-crackin’, jaw-jackin’ Gov’nah is back in ROH! Shane Taylor himself says it’s great to have him back. Ogogo says he was in Paris for the Olympics, watching the very best athletes win gold. But brother, it got Ogogo thinking. It’s time for him to win gold in ROH! Shane likes that, too. Shane says a wise man once said, “First you get the money, then you get the power.” Around here, winning gold is both! And STP is gonna start taking every championship ROH has to offer. AEW is where the best wrestler, but ROH is where the baddest rumble! Will Ogogo and Big Bad Shaney T. soon join Lee Moriarty as champions of ROH?

 

ROH World Tag Team Championships Proving Ground: Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara VS Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds w/ John Silver!

Dustin is a double champion here in ROH, and that’s all the reason The Dark Order needed to despise him! But will they be able to bring down The Natural & The Spanish God? Or will Team Texas be riding high in South Dakota?

The Code of Honor is tentatively upheld, but Reynolds does go and push Sammy. The teams sort out and Sammy starts against Reynolds. The fans rally as the two circle, but then Reynolds bails out. Sammy is annoyed, the fans boo, but Reynolds reminds us, the Dark Order doesn’t even need to beat the champs, just last the ten minutes. Silver and Reynolds high-five, the fans rally for Sammy, and he waits on Reynolds. Reynolds takes his time returning, and then Reynolds tags Uno. And Uno tells Sammy, “I want this guy!” He points at Dustin, Sammy points at Dustin, and the fans fire up as Sammy tags Dustin!

Dustin and Uno circle, they approach, but then Uno bails out to troll Dustin. Uno does a sarcastic victory lap, but Dustin cuts him off. Uno says whoa, hold on, only to turn around and see Sammy! The fans cheer but Uno runs away into the ring! Team Texas grabs at him, knocks him down, and then Uno gets up into an UPPERCUT! Sammy hooks Uno up, Dustin joins in, DOUBLE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Sammy kips up, Reynolds runs in, but into a DROPKICK! Sammy kips real smooth, and then he tells Dustin to dive! The fans fire up, Dustin fires up, and while Dark Order regroups, Team Texas builds speed!

But then Dark Order scurries away, Sammy & Dustin put on the brakes, and the fans boo. Sammy spins and poses, so Dustin busts out the spinarooni! Dustin poses, too, and the fans fire up! The Dark Order gets mad, but turnabout is fair play. The Dark Order decides to just bail, but Dustin chases them down! Dustin SMACKS Uno, ROCKS Reynolds, then gets Silver to back off. Dustin UPPERCUTS Uno, SMACKS him off the apron, then stalks him around the way. Dustin puts Uno in the ring, but Reynolds storms up. Dustin counter punches! Uno distracts the ref, allowing Silver to POST Dustin! The fans boo and Silver protests, but Reynolds throws hands on Dustin.

Reynolds puts Dustin in, Uno bumps him off buckles, and he stomps a mudhole. Tag to Reynolds, the Dark Order mugs Dustin, and Reynolds snapmares Dustin. Reynolds steps on Dustin, then uses the ropes to IMPLODER ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Reynolds keeps Dustin from Sammy, bumps him off buckles, and tags Uno. The fans rally, Uno CHOPS Dustin, then he soaks up the heat. Uno goes back to Dustin, but Dustin UPPERCUTS! Reynolds grabs Dustin but Dustin ROCKS him! Dustin fires more shots on Uno, but Reynolds barks at Dustin. So Dustin DECKS Reynolds! But he turns around into a kick from Uno!

Uno runs, but he runs into the SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up while both men are down! Uno crawls to his corner, but there’s no Reynolds! Dustin crawls, but Silver distracts the ref from the hot tag! The ref stops Sammy, not knowing what happened, and then Uno BOOTS Sammy! Uno SPLASHES Dustin, bumps him off buckles, and Reynolds goes up. Uno sets Dustin up for a FLYING DOUBLE STOMP! Reynolds then DIVES onto Sammy! Uno hits a PILEDRIVER on Dustin! Cover, TWO!! Dustin survives and Uno is shocked! Another cover, TWO! Uno grows frustrated but we’re five minutes in, time is still on their side.

Uno calls to Reynolds, brings Dustin over, and tags Reynolds in. The Dark Order mugs Dustin, but Dustin fights back with big hands! But then Dark Order pushes Dustin back! Dustin dodges Uno, dodges Reynolds, and the ref sees this hot tag! Sammy goes up to DOUBLE CROSSBODY The Dark Order down! The fans fire up, Sammy CLOBBERS Uno, then keeps moving to duck ‘n’ dodge Reynolds so he can CLOBBER him, too! The fans fire up as Sammy kips up, and Sammy RAMS in to Reynolds! Sammy goes to the apron to ENZIGIRI Reynolds, and he SUPERKICKS Uno! Reynolds then springboards in, but Reynolds gets under!

Reynolds runs up, into a CUTTER! Dustin runs in to add a SHINING WIZARD! Cover, Uno breaks it! Dustin storms up, Uno shouts “STOP~!” Then he ROCKS Dustin with a right hand! But Sammy JUMP KNEES Uno! Uno tumbles out, Sammy goes for Reynolds, but Silver drags him out! The fans boo as Dark Order regroups again. Sammy says that’s fine, and he builds speed, to FLY! Down goes The Dark Order! Sammy puts Reynolds in for Dustin to hop on, DESTROYER! Dustin brings Reynolds up, Sammy climbs, and we get a FINAL RECKONING, into the SWANTON BOMB! Cover, Team Texas wins!

Winners: Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara, by pinfall (denies The Dark Order a title match)

Uno & Reynolds played not to win but to not lose, and that only backfired every step of the way! But wait! THE CAGE OF AGONY ATTACKS! The fans boo, but Brian Cage fireman’s carries Sammy, for an F5!! The Gates mug Dustin, The Dark Order cheers while the fans boo! Kaun & Liona hold up the tag titles, then they stand Dustin up, for the DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH!! Dustin falls over, is this just a foreshadowing of what is to come? Or can Dustin & Sammy survive the gauntlet of challengers?


My Thoughts:

A very good episode of ROH, with it coming in at an hour and 10 minutes. It still had a lot of matches that were easily filler, but I again commend them on giving everyone good showings. A little surprised, and maybe a little disappointed, that Harley Cameron did not appear to go after Rachael Ellering. They could get that story going if they really wanted but they sure drag things out. But I do like that a big development was Red Velvet changing the belt, the red strap looks so good with the dark silver ROH uses for their belts. We just need them to hurry up and give us Velvet VS Diamante, not sure what they’re waiting on.

Sterling’s promo with Josh Woods was itself basically filler, because we already went through the phase of “Let’s hype The Premier Athletes up.” Just get Woods going in the Pure Division so he can eventually face Lee Moriarty, and maybe even give us some STP beating up on Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari. Speaking of which, after Ogogo of course “knocked out” his opponent tonight, good promo from him and Shane. STP is a team I’d definitely like seeing pull of the “dripping with gold” trope. Moriarty has the Pure Championship, the whole crew can be Six Man Champs, and I suppose Ogogo can “knock out” Atlantis Jr. to get the TV title while Shane finally beats Mark Briscoe to get the world title.

And a lot of good stuff is cooking in the Six Man as well as traditional Tag Divisions. We got a very good match from Infantry and SAP, and a very good promo from Outrunners calling out The Iron Savages. And while we got a really good tag match out of Dark Order and Team Texas, I figured Team Texas would win out. Clearly, Cage of Agony wants next, but I would think Kaun & Liona have a better chance getting the World Tag titles than the whole faction does the Six Man titles. Cage of Agony, while they were Mogul Embassy, already had a dominant run with the Six Man belts, let another faction have their time.

My Score: 8.6/10
