Backstage interview with Leyla Hirsch & Rachael Ellering.
Lexi Nair is with the LEGIT Friends of Strong Smile and notes that they have gotten on the same page lately. How are they feeling as a team? Leyla is feeling great, and feels they’ve been killing it as a tag team. They’ve got their chemistry in the ring, but also outside the ring. Rachael agrees, they’ve been going out to eat together. Check that off the chemistry list. And movie night with the girls? Check it off the list. They even attempted to join a book club. It didn’t go well, but the effort counts, and they’re feeling real good. Lexi loves to hear it.
Now, to the ROH Women’s TV Championship tournament. How do they feel entering as individuals? Leyla feels great and confident, and knows Rachael will also do great. Have you seen that Boss Woman Slam? It is devastating! Rachael admits that yeah, it is good stuff. But best suplexes in the division? That’s all Leyla. The only chance anyone has at beating Leyla is if they’ve been keeping an extra close eye on her. There’s a tense stare down between the friends, and Leyla breaks the silence by saying both are going to do great, and Leyla’s getting hungry. She wants to get sushi, what about Rachael?
Rachael agrees, sushi sounds great. Extra wasabi for her. Too spicy for Leyla, but sure. They head out together, but when only one woman can be the inaugural Women’s TV Champion, will this friendship survive?

Big Shotty hits the shot that finishes this one! Will this trio be the one taking aim at the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships?
Nyla Rose looks through someone’s ring gear?
The Native Beast can’t make heads or tails of it. Are these shorts? Pants? Shants? Nah, they’re trash. She throws them in the trash! Lexi walks in and asks what’s going on. Nyla says she’s getting a jump on Spring Cleaning! But these are Athena’s gear! Oh, well Nyla would hope so, her name’s on the butt. Lexi says Nyla can’t throw these away! Watch her! But these were handmade! Oh, true, Nyla does like that red one, she’ll keep that for herself. Who does Nyla think she is!? Oh, who does Nyla think she is? Allow her to tell us exactly who she thinks she is.
Nyla brings Lexi in close as she says she “thinks” she’s the one who won a Casino Battle Royal and eliminated a lot of other women to earn her right to face Riho on the first-ever AEW Dynamite to crown the first-ever AEW Women’s World Champion. Nyla “thinks” she’s the one who became the second-ever AEW Women’s World Champion. And Nyla “thinks” she’s the one who got rid of Lexi’s former boss by putting her through a door. “PIPPIN!” Nyla throws the rest of the gear away. So that makes Nyla the new Minion Overlord, which makes Lexi one of Nyla’s Minions, which makes Billie Starkz one of Nyla’s Minions.
So they will do what Nyla says, when she says it. That is why she is here sending a message: Wrap it up, toss it out, and put it in the bin. Athena is not coming back. Is this really the best way to get Billie to cooperate? Oh, Lexi, you’re so funny. Billie is going to cooperate, as will Lexi, because Nyla is the NEW Minion Overlord. So grab the camera, Minion. What? Yeah, grab the camera. Grab the camera, Lexi Nair! GRAB! THE! CAMERA! Put it on your shoulder! And you, cameraman, c’mere! He tries to explain that the camera is expensive equipment, Lexi isn’t really qualified. Oh? Is the cameraman qualified to operate a phone?
Nyla shoves the phone into the guy’s hand and says they’re doing the Ceiling Fan Challenge! GET ON THE TABLE! HURRY UP! The cameraman stands up, he says it isn’t safe. Nyla says right, it isn’t. POWERBOMB through a table!! “Was that message loud and clear, Billie Starkz? FALL IN LINE, OR FALL DOWN! Like your oh so precious Fallen Goddess!” Nyla laughs as she storms off, what is to become of the ROH Women’s Division with the Native Beast doing whatever she wants?
Billie Starkz VS Tootie Lynn!
Judging from the smile on her face, Billie doesn’t realize what Nyla has been doing and saying tonight. Will that help Billie keep her focus on her match? Or will things just go from bad to worse tonight?
The Code of Honor is upheld and the bell rings. St. Louis rallies up for their won as Tootie and Billie tie up. Billie wrenches, wristlocks, but Tootie reaches out. Billie keeps Tootie from ropes, they clinch, and then end up on ropes. The ref counts, Billie lets off but then whips. Tootie holds ropes to stop herself, then BOOTS Billie away!

Tootie falls over, Billie stalks her, and Billie mocks the fans rallying for Tootie. Tootie throws body shots, but Billie sweeps the legs! Billie then AX HANDLES Tootie down! Cover, TWO! Billie argues with the ref and throws a fit, just like Athena. Billie storms back up to Tootie, whips her to a corner, but Tootie goes up and over! Tootie then KICKS, KICKS and KICKS! Fans fire up for Tootie but Billie blocks to KNEE and HEEL KICK!
Tootie falls, Billie drags her to a drop zone, then Billie goes up. Billie is up top, to SWANTON BOMB! Cover, Billie wins!
Winner: Billie Starkz, by pinfall
Billie smiles as she slays “The Little Blue Dragon.” But will that smile turn into a frown after learning what Nyla’s been up top?
Ethan Page VS Kody Lane!
All Ego wants after the ROH World Television Championship, so he’s fighting his way up to earn his shot. Will he keep going towards keeping that promise to his daughter? Or will Kody show he’s #AlwaysReady for an opportunity?

Johnny TV laughs from behind it, this is continuing from where last week left off! Lexi and Jerry walk over to calm Castle down, and Castle says he’s gonna smash Johnny’s face! NO, Castle, you can’t do this! Do you wanna get suspended? NO, he wants to SMASH Johnny’s face! Castle keeps rushing the door but Jerry pulls him aside. Jerry tells Castle to pull himself together but Castle says YOU pull yourself together! Jerry tells Castle to snap out of it, and then SLAPS him!
Johnny walks out into the hall and says Castle can’t have a match with Johnny until he’s “TV ready.” Now, if you’ll excuse Johnny, he’s gotta split. And then he does the splits! And then someone tows Johnny away! Oh, it’s Taya. She laughs at “Loser” Castle, and then leaves. Castle is fuming and he storms off, will Jerry have to use his authority to settle this?

Winner: The Undisputed Kingdom, by pinfall (denies Gringo Loco & Gravity a title match)
With only a minute to spare, Taven & Bennett finish this one off! No gold for Gringo & Gravity, but will there be even more gold in the future for The Undisputed Kingdom?
My Thoughts:
ROH really needs to sort itself out. The streaming player says one runtime, but then the On Demand upload is a very different runtime, and much longer. I thought this was gonna be an hour and 45 minutes, but then another half hour magically appeared to make it two hours and 15 minutes. And guess what? That half hour was unadvertised filler. Even so, I will say Zak Knight VS Aaron Solo was a solid match that showed Zak could deal with an actual challenge. And really good promo from Nyla before Billie got a good win. Billie has to confront Nyla next week to get this story really going, and to give Athena her moment to return.
Honestly, even other matches meant to build story (or at least momentum) felt like filler. Ethan got a decent match out of Kody Lane but it went quick because duh, Ethan was gonna win. Abadon got a good match out of Robyn Renegade but it was also on the shorter side, because duh, Abadon was gonna win. What would’ve been good for Ethan is if Kyle Fletcher walked out to kinda look Ethan over and then maybe brush him off. And then not just with Abadon but with all of the ROH Women’s Division midcard, we need Tony Khan to officially announce the tournament bracket already and get us on the road to inaugural Women’s TV Champion already.
In relation to that, really good Six Woman Tag with the Heels winning, making Taya and Diamante strong choices for that tournament. Leila Grey only just got back into ROH action, she needs a minute to get going. And good promo from Rachael Ellering and Leyla Hirsch to play up how this title is definitely getting in the way of their friendship. As such, that match-up needs to be saved for semifinals at the earliest. Depending on who they want to be the inaugural ROH Women’s Television Champion, it’d make sense if both of them lose out and have to mend the friendship, but we’d get a great match from them if only one could make it to the finals.
Really good Fatal 4, but all this filler took time away from that match being great. Good win for Rocky, though, I wouldn’t mind seeing him get his own shot at the ROH World TV Championship or even the Continental Triple Crown. Heck, Revolution will probably get a Continental Triple Crown match on the card, Eddie VS Rocky would be some solid stuff. And really good Proving Ground tag match, but I should’ve figured The Kingdom weren’t losing or even owing a title shot. And that means these Proving Ground matches are getting old because Tony Khan isn’t even letting someone last the ten minutes. Let someone last the ten minutes, then have them lose the actual title match after like 15 to 20 minutes of the challenger(s) showing their full skills.
My Score: 8.4/10

World Tag League 2024 A Block: Gabe Kidd & SANADA VS KENTA & Chase Owens!
No NJPW round robin tournament would be complete without Bullet Club VS Bullet Club! The Mad Man & Cold Skull lost to Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa, Fang Revived & Crown Jewel lost to Bishamon, so both teams are in a fighting mood. Which faction within the club comes out feeling Just Too Sweet?

Sanada hurries to help Gabe and now the brawling is all in the same area! Kenta has Sanada now while Chase keeps after Gabe.
Things finally go back to the ground level and to ringside. Kenta ROCKS Sanada, but Sanada ROCKS Kenta! Gabe CHOKES Chase with a chair!

Cover, War Dogs win!!
Winners: Gabe Kidd & Sanada, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Kenta & Chase earn 0)
The War Dogs struck first and never let up, and now they win to break even. Wait, as Kenta & Chase are helped away, and even as Sanada heads out, Gabe sits cross-legged while he has the mic. “Let me be very effin’ clear. You crossed the line as soon as you ran to Tokyo Sports and started calling me all this s*it. Unprofessional, all this s*it. Let me make this very effin’ clear! You said you wanted, you said the fans wanted, I said it before: I don’t give a F what anyone wants but me! And I wanna end your career! So iitengo (January 5th), Gabe Kidd, Kenny Omega, LET’S EFFIN’ GO!!”
The fans are fired up to hear WrestleDynasty now has a massive crossover match added! But will Gabe keep making this about The Best Bout Machine until it comes back to bite him? Or is that just the motivation he needs so he and Sanada can take the trophies?
World Tag League 2024 A Block: Shota Umino & Tomoaki Honma VS Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa!
The Roughneck & Everyone’s Kokeshi had a rough opening round with their loss, but The Front Man & The Mullet had a mighty main event win. But the tournament might be taking a backseat when Shota wants after the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Will Shota earn a title match while heading for the trophies? Or will ZSJ prove Shota’s just not ready?
As ZSJ & “Roy” step into the ring, Shota gets in ZSJ’s face so ZSJ taunts him with the world title. The ref has them stand down, and the teams sort out.

Winners: Bishamon, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Takagi & Yota earn 0)
A sudden turnaround, but it can’t be called an upset with how Goto & Hashi have been World Tag League winners and IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions besides! But if this is how hard Takagi & Tsuji fought, yet they still fell short, how much harder must they fight to be on top of the block?
As for Bishamon, Hashi has the mic first. “Last year, Bishamon made history be becoming the first-ever IWGP Tag Team Champions to win this league. We also achieved the first-ever threepeat. This year, we’re looking to go undefeated!” The fans cheer that lofty goal, and even chant for “BI-SHA-MON! BI-SHA-MON!” Hashi says then, in Kumamoto, when they win their FOURTH STRAIGHT tournament, “We’ll show you our happiest Zanmai celebration ever.” The fans are certainly intrigued by that. Hashi says Bishamon’s four-peat will come in the blink of an eye!
With that mic drop, the mission is clear! No need to #GetBackUp when you’re still riding high, but will Goto & Hashi continue to add to their historic achievements? Or will a team come along to ruin it all?
Here are the NEW A Block standings!
Jeff Cobb & Callum Newman: 2-0, 4 points
Bishamon: 2-0, 4 points
Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji: 1-1, 2 points
Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa: 1-1, 2 points
Gabe Kidd & Sanada: 1-1, 2 points
Shota Umino & Tomoaki Honma: 1-1, 2 points
Kenta & Chase Owens: 0-2, 0 points
Alex Zayne & Ryusuke Taguchi: 0-2, 0 points
My Thoughts:
A great event for WTL A Block, but I hope there won’t be any more delays in the On Demand upload, there’s too much to do on a Friday to wait on this. Anyway, I had a bad feeling Funky Sauce would lose again, but they had a strong showing against Callum & Cobb. Great brawl between Gabe & Sanada with Kenta & Chase. But considering Gabe is building towards that match with Kenny Omega, good win for him and Sanada, and then good promo from Gabe to call Omega out. This all probably takes Gabe & Sanada out of the running for the finals, because they can play up how Gabe is too distracted by wanting after Omega.
Great match from Shota & Honma VS ZSJ & Oiwa, but this match also proved me right from earlier. This was just a formality to make ZSJ VS Shota for the world title official. Shota gets the upset win on ZSJ and now that is Shota’s path to WrestleKingdom. But Bishamon VS LIJ was awesome stuff, and what a great win for Goto & Hashi. Goto & Hashi are definitely set up to make another run at the trophies, but I’m still not sure of their chances of winning. The threepeat was pretty surprising as it was, but a four-peat would be wild.
My Score: 9/10

QT steps up to say yes, he does! Enough with the “Boom,” first off! Tomorrow night, QT brings the doom!
QT told AJ 20 years ago that he didn’t have it. 20 years later, AJ still doesn’t have it! The fans boo but AJ just shrugs that off.

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.
Lexy is with La Mera Mera and brings up how next week will be an ALL LUCHA Rampage. That must be exciting. Rosa is beyond excitement! It is about time they get some lucha libre to spice up Rampage. Atlantis Jr, Hechicero, and the return of Mystico! C’mon, now! Well what about Rosa? Yes, what about Rosa? Rosa hasn’t had a true lucha match in awhile, but why not? An open challenge for any luchadora or female wrestler that wants after La Mera Mera! In steps Harley Cameron, wearing a Hologram mask, and putting on a robot voice. “Greetings. I am famed luchadora, Harley-gram, the female counterpart to Hologram.”
Rosa is trying not to laugh as “Harley-gram” officially accepts the open challenge. Rosa tells Harley-gram that she looks familiar. Like a certain someone she beat two weeks ago. Does not compute with Harley-gram. Okay, fine. Compute this: Next week, Rosa will yank her cord and shut her down! OH SHUT UP! What? Uh… Danger! Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! “Harley-gram” runs off and Rosa asks if this is really happening. Rosa sighs, but will she just have to reboot Harley back to factory settings?
Ricochet speaks.
“I have had my eyes on the International title since I debuted in AEW. And Takeshita has cost me my chance at becoming International Champion on more than one occasion. I was the last person to pin the International Champion, and I plan on doing it one more time, at Full Gear. At Full Gear, Takeshita finds out what the world already knows: That Ricochet is not from here. Ricochet is outta this world!” The King of Flight is determined to dethrone The Alpha. Will Ricochet become The One & Only International Champion?

The fans fire up and Ishii CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS! Ishii runs, breaks through the kick, but not the SUPERKICK! Silver GERMAN SUPLEXES! But Ishii’s right back up! LARIAT for Silver! Reynolds BOOTS Ishii down! Mark LARIATS Reynolds up and out! Rocky hurries to fetch a chair for Mark! Mark sets that up and the fans cheer him on! Mark builds speed , but Reynolds trips him up! Rocky FLYING RANAS Reynolds! Uno BOOTS Rocky!
Uno helps Reynolds up, but Mark FLIES! The fans fire up with Mark and he high-fives the front row. Mark goes back for Reynolds, puts him in, and Ishii SLIDING LARIATS! Ishii roars and he hauls Reynolds up! Suplex for the BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, Conglomeration wins!
Winners: The Conglomeration, by pinfall
A great battle from these factions, but it is Strong Style that wins out! Will this happen again when Ishii goes 1v1 with The Learning Tree? Or will Chris Jericho make sure the Age of Nueve lasts forever and ever?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for the go-home to Full Gear, but it was definitely just a go-home. They’re even ending with the November Rain music video from last Saturday as I type this. Good promo from Ricochet to hype up his match with Takeshita, but that’s still a toss-up to me. A part of me does want Ricochet to have the International Champion so Takeshita can enter the Continental Classic and go after Okada like he was supposed to do just a month ago. It really depends on what the Don Callis Family story is going to be with Ospreay and Fletcher, as The Don Callis Family isn’t losing everything at Full Gear.
Great opening tag of Mariah & Mina VS Nyla & Harley, though I really thought that was going to be the main event. But at the same time, of course Mariah & Mina won. No tease for anything at Full Gear so maybe they’ll wait to surprise us with Toni Storm or something tomorrow. Harley becoming “Harley-gram” just to get a rematch with Rosa was hilarious stuff, as does that “All Lucha Rampage” episode they’re hyping up. But oh look, next week is back-to-back Rampage and Collision on a Saturday just to try and undercut Survivor Series. It won’t matter, I’m still watching WarGames and leaving AEW for after, but it’s nice of them to do everything on one night.
Very good filler match of Juice VS Butcher, that was a strong return to singles action for Juice. Very nice Zero Hour matches but I kinda wish they’d given us a segment on TV to set up Deonna VS Anna rather than just announcing it. Maybe there was something social media had but I’m still not someone who follows all the socials. And that Fatal 4 Way is awesome, can’t wait to see who comes out of that a winner. Good promo overall from Big Boom AJ and QT Marshall, but I’m not sure it needed to be a weigh-in. A press conference style segment would’ve been fine, or even a contract signing, but I guess they just wanted to set up QT’s “lay off the cookies” joke. QT stands tall with his cutter taking down AJ, so you can bet AJ dooms QT in the Zero Hour.
Also great Six Man Tag main event, though I don’t think I’ve ever seen a main event without entrances. Great win for Conglomeration, though, but yeah, Ishii sure ain’t winning the ROH World Championship.
My Score: 8.8/10
