PLAY BY PLAY
Lexi Nair finds Dalton Castle loitering backstage.
She walks up to The Peacock and he says hey. She asks what he’s doing here. Castle says “John TV” is in the other room, and he wants them to wash him smash Johnny’s face in! No, Lexi doesn’t want that! But Castle still busts in, scares Mr. & Mrs. TV, and grabs a trash can! But Johnny shouts, “Suspend him, Jerry! Suspend him!!” Jerry Lynn was right around the corner!? Johnny says Castle should be suspended for attempting to throw trash at Johnny and his wife, Taya! Taya says Castle also threw cheese at them last time, and it wasn’t even good cheese! It was cheddar!
Jerry asks Castle if he came in here for a fight. Castle denies it but Johnny & Taya say yes he was! Castle says good to see you, Jerry, did you get the email? Yes, Jerry did got that email, and he says Castle’s friend will get his match on ROH. Sweet! Wait, what friend? Is he imaginary~? Hah! But y’know what? Have Castle’s “friend” face Johnny TV so Castle can see what being “TV Ready” means! HAH! Jerry says okay then, it’s official. Next week, Johnny TV VS Castle’s friend. Johnny says Castle’s friend is going to Slam Town! And Taya says clean that suit, it stinks. Mr. & Mrs. TV head out, and Lexi does agree, Castle should clean his suit.
Castle says he doesn’t stink, JOHNNY stinks! And he throws his cheese at the wall! But is Castle’s friend real? And if so, who is it?
After Spanish Announce Project VS The Russell Brothers…
Angelico & Serpentico came out on top, but then Maria Kanellis-Bennett and her “baby boys,” Griff Garrison & Cole Karter appear on stage. And Karter is wearing the mask they STOLE from Serpentico! SAP rushes out to chase them down but Maria and her boys get away! When and where will the South African Stud & #SNAKEMAN have their revenge?
Backstage interview with Ethan Page.
Lexi is with All Ego and says while he’s gonna face Slim J tonight, she wants to throw back to the last time they spoke, where Ethan mentioned aiming for the ROH World Television Championship. Does Ethan still feel he is on the right path? Uh, yeah, he does. If you went to his house to ask his family, his kids, no, they don’t think so. Every week when he comes home, they don’t care whether he won or lost, just that he came home emptyhanded. His daughter says to him, “Daddy, you said on TV you’d win a title for me.”
Ethan tells Gabby that a promise is a promise, and to keep the promise, that while he may be coming home emptyhanded, his family has sent him with full hands. And this outfit. This outfit is brought to you by Gabby Page, her imagination and her two favorite colors: purple and pink. The colors don’t matter, but the person that picked those colors does. His promise to his daughter is what matters. So yes, the path he is on also matters. His match with Slim J definitely matters. And so does continuing his momentum towards Kyle Fletcher and the ROH World Television Championship.
So Ethan now promises to win tonight, next week, and so on, and wear these colors, this gear, every single match he has until the day his hand is raised while the other hand is holding gold so he can return home NOT emptyhanded ever again! So Ethan believes he is on the right path. And since now that his daughter will be with him during every single moment of this journey, finally… yeah, this is happening. Lexi wishes him luck and she does love pink ‘n’ purple, too. Yeah it is growing on him. Ethan wears his daughter’s favorite colors, but will he be wearing everyone’s favorite color in championship gold?
Dalton Castle VS Aaron Solo!
The Peacock’s friend, real or otherwise, gets the fight with Johnny TV next week, the fight Castle wants. But will Castle prove he is more than “TV Ready” when he takes down Aaron solo?
Wait, where is Castle? The substitute Boys hurry backstage again, and they drag out a catering cart with Castle slouched all over it! Castle sits up, takes a sip of water, and he leads the way down the ramp. Fans cheer Castle on, but is he going to be able to light it up like he always does?
The Code of Honor is barely upheld, and the bell rings. Castle doesn’t let Solo go! The fans rally for Castle but Solo grabs ropes! The ref reprimands, Castle lets go then runs in, but Solo ELBOWS him! Solo then ROCKS Castle, but Castle shoves him back. Castle runs in but Solo dumps Castle out! Solo cheers himself on but fans boo. Solo mocks Castle feeding The Boys, then eggs Castle on. Castle huffs and puffs as the count climbs, and he gets up on the apron. Solo RAMS into Castle then POSTS him! Castle staggers around, throws a fit, but Solo goes out to CLUB Castle! Castle shoves, Solo dodges and CLUBS Castle again!
Solo RAMS Castle into railing, whips, but Castle reverses and Solo hits the apron edge! Fans fire up for Castle as he flounders into the ring. Solo slides in and CLUBS Castle down! Solo mocks the fans, but Castle throws body shots! Castle RAMS Solo into a corner! Castle throws elbows, says Solo has bad manners, and then runs in. Solo BOOTS Castle, SUPERKICKS and SCREW HIGH KICKS! Solo laughs but fans boo. Solo soaks up the heat, runs in, but Castle blocks, ELBOWS and LARIATS Solo down! The fans fire up again and Castle shoots in to EXPLODER! Solo flounders now but Castle storms up on him.
Castle whips, Alabama Lifts, and BANGAAAAA~RANG! Cover, Castle wins!
Winner: Dalton Castle, by pinfall
Even disheveled and disgruntled, Castle reminds us why he is a former ROH World, ROH Television and ROH Six Man Tag Champion! And he tells Johnny, “Your face…? SMASH!” The Peacock is on the hunt, will he get his time with Johnny TV? Or will Castle’s “friend” tear Johnny down for him?
Backstage interview with Nyla Rose.
The Native Beast barges in as Lexi starts introducing something else, and says, “Well, well, well, well, well. If it isn’t the Quaker Oatmeal man! Just who I wanted to talk to.” Where’s Lexi’s friend? Oh, sorry, was Lexi doing something? Cool, let the cameras hang around, we need witnesses for this. Where is Lexi’s little friend? Lexi laughs and says Billie’s busy with a thing. But she is here tonight! In a match! And the ROH Women’s Television Championship tournament, too. Oh, right, of course. Lexi, Nyla isn’t sure what she’d do without her. Lexi’s a dang good reporter. Nyla has no idea what she was doing, maybe her mind was somewhere else. She’s gonna go do something else then.
Oh, really? Okay, cool. NO, LEXI NAIR!! Nyla told you last week that she wants Billie Starkz HERE, right in front of her! Same place as the wonderful people are, because Nyla has something important to say. Lexi’s onboard, right? Y-yes… Great! They’re such a good team! Lexi’s an excellent minion! Why isn’t Billie? Why? They both graduated “from that dumb little school Athena set up.” Actually… Nyla realizes, they will be near Athena’s dumb little wrestling school. Next week is Athena’s hometown! Now if memory serves, Nyla has: taken over Athena’s show; taken over Athena’s minions; and taken Athena’s “rule of the roost,” as they might say.
So uh, Nyla thinks that what Lexi needs to do is get her little friend her, talk sense to her, and have her fall in line. Cuz Nyla would “hate” to do to Billie what she did to that “John Legend lookin’ cameraman” from last week! Or to an upstanding reporter. Now we wouldn’t want that, right? N-no, that’d be crazy. Yeah, that’d be insane! Insane. Because Nyla doesn’t just bring the chaos. “Get this through your head! I AM the chaos!!” The self-proclaimed NEW Overlord has issued her final warning, will Billie heed it?
ROH World Tag Team Championships Proving Ground Match: The Undisputed Kingdom VS Fred Rosser & Tom Lawlor!
Matt Taven & Mike Bennett are now THREE-TIME ROH World Tag Team Champions, and aren’t looking to change that any time soon. But they’re up against some NJPW Strong competition tonight. Rosser & Lawlor have gone from rivals to allies, can they then go from contenders to challengers? Or will the Kingdom finish this in 10 minutes or less?
The Code of Honor is upheld, and then Rosser and Lawlor shove and even SLAP each other to get fired up! The bell rings, and The Kingdom BLINDSIDE Team NJPW Strong!

With just seconds to spare, Taven & Bennett slam the door shut on Team NJPW Strong! But with as hard as they’re having to finish this in 10 minutes, will there come a time when a team catches them slipping? Or will The Kingdom always be undisputed?
Ethan Page VS Slim J!
We heard the All Ego mission statement, and he wants to keep that promise to Gabby. Will the streak build momentum? Or will Ethan’s daughter have her trust busted by the OG investment?
The Code of Honor is rejected by Slim and the bell rings. Fans boo but Ethan and Slim circle. They tie up, go around, and Ethan puts Slim in the corner.

Billie Starkz VS Killa Kate!
The Prodigy, the Top Minion, Athena’s right hand woman, is preparing for the ROH Women’s Television Championship tournament, but she also has a Native Beast after her. Will Billie be able to focus on her match? Or will she lose to a real Killa?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, go around, and Billie waistlocks. Kate wrenches free, wristlocks, but Billie spins and slips through to wristlock back. Kate powers her way through to a cording hold, then wristlock. Billie spins, breaks free, then headlocks.

Fans fire up as Kate flops out of the ring and Billie grins. Billie then builds speed and she DIVES, into a FOREARM!
Kate shoves Billie back in, runs up and wrenches to ELBOW! And KICK! And then suplex, only for Billie to slip free! Billie wrenches, cravats for a KNEE SMASH, then HEEL KICKS!

Billie sneers, goes to the very top, but Kate gets under the jump. Kate runs in but is sent into the corner!
Billie hoists Kate up in an Electric Chair Lift! And then makes that a DRIVER! Cover, Billie wins!
Winner: Billie Starkz, by pinfall
Billie proves she is more than ready for that title tournament! She mockingly gives the Code of Honor handshake, as she learned from Athena, but will she learn to “fall in line” behind Nyla? Or will Billie really lean into that rebellious teenage phase for this one?
Rachael Ellering speaks.
“The brackets are about to be released for the Women’s TV title tournament, and baby, I tell you what. I’m feeling real good. Tough couple months here pushed me to my limit, but y’know what? My girl Leyla has had my back through it all. And I can’t lie to you guys, she’s right here supporting me.” Rachael has Leyla get on camera and says she couldn’t just leave her standing there. But quick recap: the brackets are about to drop, and their preparations are gonna pay off. Yeah, Leyla says at the end of the day, this is gonna be some tough competition. But they’re used to that. And whatever we get, they’re gonna…
Rachael says how crazy would it be if they ended up having to face off in the first round. They both laugh cuz that would be wild. Real crazy. But they both know that Leyla is so prepared, ready for anything, better than ever, she’s gonna crush it. Same to Rachael. She’s been killing it. Whatever we get, they’ll make it work. So guess what? Release the brackets, Hirsch & Ellering are ready! But will their “crazy” idea end up becoming reality?
Backstage interview with Red Velvet.
Lexi is with The Chef and notes she is part of the “co-main-event” tonight, a big Women’s Fatal 4 this close to the tournament. How is she feeling? She’s feeling great! Confident, and with momentum. The tournament is right around the corner so all eyes are on the ROH Women’s Division. But after tonight, when she defeats Trish Adora, Diamante and former fellow Baddie in Kiera Hogan, all eyes will finally be on Velvet. And then everyone will see The Chef is always cookin’. Velvet heads out, will she be the one serving L’s tonight?
Lexi finds Castle in the “bowels of the arena.”
Lexi grumbles that she’s not a babysitter. The Peacock is scooting around with a janitor’s bucket and Lexi tells him to step out. Lexi says a lot has happened recently, and would like some clarification on who this friend facing Johnny TV next week is gonna be. Castle apologizes about earlier tonight, and he thought he was that close to smashing Johnny TV’s face in. But what does he do? Jerry Lynn’s the worst, right? Yeah, it happens… But again, could he please give us some insight as to who Castle’s “friend” is? Next week, right? Yes, he’s facing Johnny next week. Well, this guy’s a good wrestler, that’s for sure.
Okay… What’s his name? Oh, uh… Well, Lexi wouldn’t know this guy. Okay, but what’s his name? Just a letter even! Castle says he doesn’t go to this school. What? So he’s not signed to ROH? Well, no, cuz he’s new. New to wrestling, new to ROH. Then how about some clues. Height? Eye color? Castle says next week, his “friend” is going to face John TV, so tune in. Yes, okay, but Lexi is just trying to do her job so- Castle flops into a laundry basket and says he is done, goodnight. Then he drapes a curtain over himself. Where are his shoes!? Night, Lexi. Lexi storms off, but is this going to be a case of the hypothetical friend getting his match with Johnny TV?
Four Corner Survival: Trish Adora VS Kiera Hogan VS Diamante VS Red Velvet!
It is ladies first for tonight’s co-main-event! This match will go a long way to finalizing those ROH Women’s Television Championship Tournament brackets, who proves they should be the number one seed?
The Code of Honor is upheld by all four, though more reluctantly by Diamante. The bell rings, Velvet swings on Adora but she blocks that. Kiera runs up but Adora shoves her away, and then they both run in, so Adora DOUBLE LARIATS them! Diamante fires forearms with Adora and fans rally up. Adora swings, Diamante ducks! Diamante uppercuts but Adora dodges! Kiera rolls up Diamante while Velvet rolls up Adora! TWO! Velvet arm-drags Kiera, but Adora scoops and BACKBREAKERS Velvet! Diamante SHOTGUNS Adora!

Diamante tumbles up the ramp and Velvet CROSSBODIES at Adora! Adora catches her, to POWERSLAM her! Kiera goes up now, and she CROSSBODIES, only to get caught! Adora hits a POWERSLAM again!
Diamante returns, fires forearms, and then cravats. SLICED- NO, Adora denies that to LARIAT TUBMAN!! But Diamante flounders out of the ring! Kiera runs up to HIP ATTACK Adora! Kiera runs at Velvet but Velvet DUMPS her out! Then Velvet DOUBLE KNEES Adora, and then hits THE MIXER! Cover, Velvet wins!!
Winner: Red Velvet, by pinfall
She called her shot and she won this fast ‘n’ furious Fatal 4! Will Velvet be the one holding the gold in the end?
Four Corner Survival: Jack Cartwheel VS Alex Zayne VS Blake Christian VS Lee Johnson!
And now for the gentlemen! Whether it’s the ROH World Television Championship or THE ROH World Championship, the winner here could easily call their shot! Will it be the acrobat, the Sauce, All Heart or Big Shotty that moves into pole position after tonight?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the fans rally up. Jack says wait! Who wants to see a cartwheel? The fans fire up for that! Jack powers up, and then he CARTWHEELS! The fans cheer, the others applaud, and then Zayne says let’s get another one! The fans join in on that, “One More Time!” Jack powers up again, to CART- Blake SHOTGUNS him! Fans boo but Blake knows this is about winning, not having fun! Then he runs up, only for Zayne & Lee to dodge, double kick and double whip! But Blake handsprings to DOUBLE BACK ELBOW!

Winner: Lee Johnson, by pinfall
Big Shotty with the BIG win! It is only a matter of time, but will Lee Johnson be a champion in ROH sooner rather than later?
My Thoughts:
Another really good ROH, and at least this was under two hours. Still a little disappointed that the “co-main-events” were each under 10 minutes so that they both fit into the last 30 minutes of the show. I know people gotta get in the ring and get paid, but ROH has gotta trim the filler to give more time to the stuff that’s supposed to matter. Like, it’s nice of them to give some shine to the local indie wrestlers, as we got out of SAP VS The Russell Bros and Aminata VS Reiza, but I dunno, I just feel like both Fatal 4 Ways were time crunch versions. It is fun for the Fatal 4 Ways to be fast and furious, but it also just seems a shame we didn’t get even more good stuff from all involved.
I will say, great wins for Velvet and Johnson from those matches. Velvet is going into the tournament strong, and Johnson should get himself a shot at something. Ethan Page had a great match with Slim J, and between that and the really good promo beforehand, Ethan is definitely getting an ROH World TV Championship match. And Johnson isn’t dethroning Eddie Kingston at this point, so I guess that leaves going after Wheeler Yuta and the ROH Pure Championship, even though that style of match is the opposite of this high speed stuff Lee’s been winning. But I still stand by what I said years ago watching AEW Dark: Lee Johnson (along with Ben Carter/Nathan Frazer) is a future star, and that’ll happen if Tony Khan doesn’t waste him.
Rachael and Leyla had a good promo hyping up the tournament bracket, they are definitely having that opening round match with each other now, even though that seems like a real waste to me. Great story stuff tonight with Dalton Castle, from him almost smashing Johnny TV but getting caught by Jerry Lynn. They clearly want us thinking this “friend” is just a workaround for Castle to face Johnny under some alternate identity, but they could be very clever and make it someone who really is new to ROH. In which case, I have no idea who that could be, but it’d be a lot of fun. It’ll still be fun if it’s just Castle putting on a luchador mask and pretending he’s some other person, but I feel like it is just too obvious if they’re going through with Castle’s “friend.”
And great story stuff with Nyla Rose. Great promo with Lexi, and Nyla of course won her match. But it is clever that she is fighting and beating students of Athena’s. Billie gets a good win, too, and as I’ve said before, she is definitely on a collision course with Nyla. That’ll be a great opening for Athena to return, she helps Billie beat Nyla so that Billie has momentum going into the tournament and Athena has momentum going into her title match with Nyla.
My Score: 8.6/10

Hangman Page is here!
Mexico City fires up for the Blackhat Cowboy as he makes his way into Arena Mexico for the first time! Hangman has a mic to say, “Hola! Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL. This is the best pro-wrestling in the world!
Hangman continues by saying that he also wants to make it known about AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, that while Hangman is not wrestling tonight, and that he is not allowed ringside later tonight for the main event… He will find Moxley after! And Excalibur apologizes, the last part definitely can’t be translated for the sake of the broadcast. The fans still cheer Hangman on, they wanna see that #CowboyS*it. Hangman adds that once again, he is thankful for letting them be here in Arena Mexico. Now, let the action begin! The fans cheer as Hangman heads out, will The Cowboy get his hands on The Maniac before the night is over?

As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.
On the other side, ROH World Champion Bandido leads the way for his team, followed by Templario and the Atlantis father and son.

MJF w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Mistico!
The Scumbag only ever does or uses something when it benefits him, and being extremely patriotic for the United States only seems to happen when he wants to stick it to someone not from the United States. MJF waves Ol’ Glory while he, MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin walk down to the ring, but will he have to wave the white flag of surrender here tonight? Or will MJF somehow screw over the arguably greatest and most beloved man in CMLL?
In fact, to counter MJF being an American idiot, Mistico takes off his Sin Cara mask to reveal the colors of Mexico’s flag and therefore the colors of his people. He also has Me Muero as his theme, and the fans all know that one! The bell rings and the two circle while the fans rally behind Mistico. The two tie up, MJF SHOVES Mistico away, and then MJF soaks up the heat. MJF mockingly claps and then says up theirs! MVP tells MJF to worry about Mistico, not the fans.

The fans boo, Mistico wags his finger, and he tells them to part. MJF runs up to ROCK Mistico first! The fans boo but MJF high-fives his guys. MJF says, “Easy! Too easy!” MJF puts Mistico in the ring, smirks while the fans call him more names. MJF swivels his hips, then runs up, but Mistico dodges the knee drop! Mistico runs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Mistico has MJF in a corner. MJF wants mercy, but Mistico says nope! Mistico runs up, but MJF YANKS him into buckles!

This lets Lashley CHOKE Mistico and throw hands! The Hurt syndicate gets away with more, and MJF covers, TWO!
MVP tells fans to callete, they saw nothing! MJF stalks Mistico, stomps him on the foot, then has him on the ropes. MJF stomps him more, then soaks up heat.

MJF sits Mistico back up, runs the ropes, and then just steps up to pelvic thrust! The fans boo and Mistico is pissed now! MVP says no more trolling, MJF, he’s already told him that!

The bell rings and the four watch each other. Ricochet tries to bond with Bryce Remsburg over being bald but Bryce isn’t having it. Ricochet and the others all approach center, but then Lio says forget this. Lio goes to a corner to soak up heat, and Ricochet talks it over with the luchadores.

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion)
Even Mone is a bit surprised, but she flipped things around on Zeuxis and has taken yet another title! Mone holds up the FIVE championships in her collection and the streams fly! Will The CEO only add to her treasury when she and- Wait, speaking of Toni Storm, she’s on the tron! “She’s the kind of woman who always has money on her mind and someone else on her lips. She’s the kind of woman mother takes home to you. With thighs as big as the world and long as a wet dream. One thing she did know how to hold the gold, and not the Acapulco kind, either. She had a date with a Chief Executive Officer who wanted a kiss, but one belt too many.
“Deepthroat some tabasco, baby, it’s time to turn up the heat. There was one chance in a million she would bump into her past, but like everything out of the past, it was all behind her now.” The fans cheer as the noir narration ends, because surprise! That’s… Mina Shirakawa? Because Toni Storm sneaks into the ring from the crowd! The fans fire up as the lady in red takes a sniff of the gold. Mone realizes what’s going on now, and Toni reels her in for a FIVE BELT GERMAN SUPLEX!! Toni goes from Marlowe to Brando to fire off on her contender! The fans cheer as Mone runs away and Toni gives her chase! She gets Mone at the ramp but the refs stop her!
The fans boo and Mone scrambles away through the streamers! One lucky fan gets Mone to hug her as she cowers in fear. Toni grabs a mic to shout, “Let the games begin~!” Toni revels in the streamers while Mone pulls at her hair in frustration! Will the AEW Women’s World Championship be the one belt Mone doesn’t take?

Moxley is frozen in place, and now The Opps & Ospreay get in the ring! The Maniac decides discretion is the better part of valor, and The Death Riders are in retreat. But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?
My Thoughts:
Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.
Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.
Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.
Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.
Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.
My Score: 9/10
