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!

Billie fights the lift to victory roll and AKNLE LOCK! Tootie endures so Billie SMASHES the leg! Billie stomps Tootie, talks trash on her, and fans boo. Billie huffs and puffs and she ROCKS Tootie! 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?

Abadon VS Robyn Renegade!

The Living Dead Girl may have missed out on the AEW Women’s World Championship, and the AEW TBS Championship, but perhaps third time is the charm! Will Abadon get in on the ROH Women’s Television Championship Tournament? Or will even she fail to bring down this Renegade?

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
