ROH Women’s World Television Championship Tournament, Opening Round: Taya Valkyrie w/ Johnny TV VS Sussy Love!
La Wera Loca feels she’s made to be Women’s TV Champion, but she still has to prove she’s worthy of it. Will Taya truly be TV Ready? Or will this tournament get a little Sussy?

Queen Aminata speaks.
“The Queen has arrived, and The Queen has advanced to the next round of the ROH TV Tournament to face Taya Valkyrie. Taya, I gotta say, I used to watch my matches when I first started. I used to love the way you presented yourself. The way you move in the ring, all the good fight you used to put in that ring. But to be honest, somebody has to tell you, Taya. You’re not that old Taya anymore. No, you’re just this flamboyant Taya. This sleazy mirror Taya. This Taya that comes in the ring with her husband. What’re you doing? Who are you?
“The Queen doesn’t want this new Taya, I want the old one. The one that used to put up that great fight. The one that used to come feeling confident. I want this very Loca Taya. I wanna put on a great match. And after that, I want you, Taya, to move outta my way so The Queen, The One, The Only African Woman Wrestler, can finally be… the first-ever ROH TV Champion.” The Queen of Guinea is ready to be crowned, but will Taya deny her the throne?

Billie drags Robyn up, suplexes, but Robyn fights that to a cradle! TWO, and the two stand up. Robyn blocks to ROCK Billie with a forearm! Billie goes to a corner, Robyn runs up to clothesline! Robyn says want some, get some! And she CHOPS! Fans fire up and Robyn stands Billie back up. Robyn says here’s one more, and she CHOPS again!

Backstage interview with Ethan Page.
Lexi Nair is with All Ego after his win over Anthony Henry tonight. Ethan is now 12-2 overall, and Ethan wants to stick with the positives. What does this mean for Ethan moving forward? Well, the obvious answer is an ROH World TV Championship match against Kyle Fletcher. Automatic shoe-in given Ethan’s win streak, but for some reason, the TV Champ doesn’t wanna show up for work. Maybe because he’s worried about losing it. But really, a fantastic strategy for Kyle, and if Ethan were Kyle, he’d keep doing it. But while he’s away, Ethan can hang out with the fans more and continue to have this feeling that keeps happening.
Ethan can’t explain the feeling, can’t put a word to it but he’s sure the fans feel it, too. There’s just something in the air. You can even smell it, and you feel it, and Ethan feels it in his heart. And after every win, he feels that feeling grow. That momentum grows. That fire inside of him and with the people watching, it grows! So Kyle, stay away, because by the time he comes back, that momentum will be astronomical! And when Kyle walks in, he’ll feel the electricity in the air and the hair on the back of his neck will stand up! Because everything in ROH since Kyle’s been gone has changed, because of Ethan!
“So please, bring that title back when you’re ready. Because I don’t think you’re gonna like this place anymore. I promise.” All Ego has called out the Protostar, how will the Don Callis Family let Kyle respond?
Billie Starkz speaks.
“I had one heck of a fight tonight. I’ll give it to you, Robyn, you brought more than I thought you would. But this tournament’s for me. That’s my title, and I don’t know how many times I have to say this. I’m going through every single round of this tournament. I’m the youngest and the dumbest, I’m gonna fight all I can. I want this more than anything else. I lost at Final Battle, I’m not losing again. Y’all’re not better than Athena, I’m better than all of you. Get it through your heads. That title is mine.” The Fallen Goddess’ Number One Minion is ready to stand beside her with gold, will she succeed?
ROH Women’s World Championship Best 2 Outta 3 Falls Tables Match: Athena VS Nyla Rose!
After the Fallen Goddess was violently ambushed at her own training school, an equally violent return led to a brutal back and forth between her and the Native Beast. Now it will all come to a devastating end as only one can reign! Who’s body will be broken along with the tables?
The introductions are made, the title is raised, and Nyla is already setting up the furniture! It’s the main event of the ROH TV anniversary, but who celebrates the biggest of all?
The bell rings and Athena DROPKICKS! Nyla stays up to CLOBBER Athena! Nyla brings Athena up but Athena throws hands! But then Nyla HEADBUTTS Athena down! The fans rally for Athena as she comes right back, but into a SAMOAN DROP! Fans boo but Nyla tells them to shut up. Nyla goes out to fetch a table and set that up at ringside. Nyla drags Athena to the apron to SMACK her off the edge, then she finishes setting the table. Only for Athena to DROPKICK Nyla! Athena RANAS, but Nyla blocks! APRON POWERBOMB, and then the BEAST BOMB through the table!!
Athena: 0; Nyla: 1
And the all-important first “fall” goes to Nyla! She tells us not to “change the channel” because she’s 1-0, and says we’ll see if she can finish this fast. Nyla puts Athena in the ring, goes looking under but there’s no tables there. Nyla goes around the corner, there’s a table! Nyla puts that table in the ring, but Athena stops her! Athena uses the table to RAM Nyla into barriers! The fans rally, and Athena SUPERKICKS Nyla down! Athena hauls that table up into the ring for herself, and the fans rally up. Athena runs up to KICK Nyla in the side! Athena gets in the ring, brings the table to a corner, but then sees Nyla stand.
Athena runs and DIVES, but into Nyla’s hands! APRON CHOKE SLAM! The fans are stunned while Athena writhes. The ref checks Athena, she is somehow still in this, so Nyla hobbles over. Nyla THROWS Athena into steel steps! Athena writhes again while Nyla soaks up the heat. Nyla even plays with a fan’s very long beard. Nyla drags Athena up but Athena throws body shots. Nyla SMACKS Athena off the apron, pushes her in, then stomps away! The fans rally for Athena as hard as they can but Nyla CLUBS her down. Nyla claims they are all HER Minions now, but Athena fires off CHOP after CHOP!
Nyla CHOPS back, DECKS Athena, then hauls her back up. Nyla scoops and SLAMS Athena, then soaks up more heat. Nyla throws off the gloves and drags Athena up again. Nyla whips her hard into a corner, then SPLASHES! Athena sits down and Nyla calls her shot, CANNONBALL! Athena flops over and Nyla grabs that table. Nyla sets it up in a corner, and Nyla says, “Careful what you wish for.” But Athena runs up to SMACK Nyla off the table! And again! The table stays standing, Nyla shoves Athena away, but Athena tilt-o-whirl RANAS! Nyla hits off buckles, Athena goes to fireman’s carry! Nyla CLUBS away to knock Athena down!
Nyla hobbles, she stands Athena up, and HIP TOSS but Athena handsprings through! Athena ROCKS Nyla, but Nyla PELES Athena! Nyla runs, to CROSSBODY! Athena flounders her way to the apron, back to the wreckage of the first table, and even to the steel steps. Nyla pushes the second table over before she pursues Athena. Nyla digs her boots in at the railing but the ref reprimands. Nyla lets off, sits Athena up, and KNEES her against railing! Fans boo but Nyla backs up. Nyla runs back in, but Athena moves, CANNONBALL hits railing! Nyla writhes now and the fans rally for Athena! Athena runs up to SHOTGUN Nyla down!
The fans fire up while Athena growls and glares at Nyla. Athena rises as the fans are thunderously behind her. Athena catches her breath, goes looking under the ring, and finds herself a new table! The fans cheer as she sets that up ringside. Athena DROPKICKS Nyla back down and HAMMERS away on her in fury! Athena shoves Nyla and tells the ref to leave her alone! Athena goes back to her table, finishes setting that up, and then positions it just right. Athena storms up on Nyla, brings her around, and hauls her up to the apron. Fans fire up as Athena lines up the shot, but Nyla fires hands!
Athena and Nyla brawl on the edge, and then Nyla HEADBUTTS! Athena fires shots again and again, then clinches! Nyla fights free of that, and choke grips! Fans freak out, CHOKE- NO, Athena slips up and over the ropes! Athena ROCKS Nyla, Nyla holds onto ropes as she wobbles! Athena goes up a corner, takes aim, for the O FACE!! Nyla falls through the table!!
Athena: 1; Nyla: 1
And we’re all tied up! It all comes down to this final fall, “This is Awesome!” as Athena already has that second table ready to go! Nyla flounders out of the wreckage, drags herself into the ring, and Athena stalks her. Athena stomps Nyla, drags her up, SLAPS her, then fireman’s carries! Fans fire up as Athena manages the lift! But then she falls right over, Nyla right on top of her! Nyla laughs as she sits back up and then brings Athena around. Nyla scoops, but Athena slips free! Nyla BOOTS Athena down then hurries to get her back up! Nyla puts Athena on the table, punches away on her face, then goes up the corner!
Nyla aims but Athena slips off the table! Athena CHOPS Nyla, then climbs up! Fans fire up as Athena climbs, CLUBS away on Nyla, but Nyla fights the superplex! Nyla CLUBS away on Athena now, then dumps Athena to the apron! Nyla repositions herself, kicks at Athena from above, but Athena SLAPS Nyla! Nyla kicks, Athena SLAPS! They go back and forth, each wobbling after the other’s shot! Nyla realizes there’s a table at ringside! Nyla CLAWS Athena’s eyes to stop her! Nyla then sees another table at ringside and aims for it! But Athena has Nyla’s foot to stay on the apron! Athena ROCKS Nyla again!
Athena UPPERCUTS, then she uses the corner to Electric Chair Lift Nyla!! ELECTRIC CHAIR FACEBUSTER through the table!!! Athena wins!!!
Winner: Athena, by 2-1 falls (still ROH Women’s World Champion)
The Fallen Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the woman carrying this promotion, just slayed the Native Beast! If not even this could stop Athena, will she truly be our Forever Champion? But at the same time, Nyla sits up and manages to laugh…? Is Nyla’s hunt for gold in ROH not over yet?
My Thoughts:
A great ROH right here, but apologies to the fellas on this episode, I didn’t have time for anything other than the women’s title stories. Though, I did skim, so I know Lee Johnson had another great showing, Danhausen VS Brandon Cutler w/ Colt Cabana was a lot of goofy fun, and Exodus Prime had a great showing in a Fatal 4 Way that he of course wasn’t winning. And really good promo from Ethan after his newest win, though I wish there didn’t have to be as many worked shoot promos of “You need to show up on ROH so I can face you already!” type stuff going on. Tony Khan needs to get people who hold ROH titles onto ROH TV!
Great matches in the Women’s TV Championship Tournament, of course. Taya VS Sussy was good, Sussy really getting a good showing in the loss. Taya talked trash on Sussy as like she’s just a jobber in the promo after, and Queen Aminata had a very good response promo, so their match is going to be awesome next round. Equally great showings from Viva Van against Abadon and Sandra Moone against Red Velvet, but naturally Abadon and Velvet won out. Abadon is very likely to get past Mercedes Martinez, Velvet VS Leyla could go either way depending on how Leyla’s story with Rachael Ellering is going to go.
But also a great match of Billie VS Robyn, and of course Billie won there. Billie had a great promo, she is still highly favored to win in my opinion, more than likely facing Aminata in the finals. Both are so talented, and while Billie has gotten the overt push with her joining Athena, facing Athena, and having Athena’s support, Aminata stuck it out, proved herself, and has been recognized by management to finally get some wins. That’s a real toss-up there, and either result would make for a huge moment at what I’m assuming is Supercard of Honor on April 5th, aka them piggybacking WrestleMania Weekend.
The tables match was really good stuff, but much like any tables match, and much like any 2 Outta 3 Falls match, the flow was pretty standard. We end up with a tie and the final fall finishes it, which made for a great comeback by Athena to win it all. A part of me is surprised Athena won out, but Athena has done such phenomenal work since becoming ROH Women’s World Champion that in a way, she’s kinda stuck. If this women’s tournament arc is any indication, ROH knows how to use the women’s division better per episode than AEW, but viewership and live audience attendance are still lacking. To me, Athena is the big fish in the small pond, but is deserving of being the biggest of them all.
My Score: 8.8/10

Results:
The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System
Octagon got jumped by The System earlier so Laredo is fighting alone. Another backstage jumping is getting a little dumb.
Laredo and Trey start. Typical Indie start with Simultaneous awful Dropkick spot and bad counters, AJ blind tag runs the smaller guys over, tags out to KC and the Rascalz instantly get the moment. KC is rocked, tags in Laredo and Laredo takes out the System before Lish gets on the apron and grabs Laredo. The referee kicks out Lish and Rehwoldt on commentary points out it’s a No DQ match so that’s dumb.
KC gets tossed at AJ, he catches him, Rascalz Dive and do their taunt as we go to commercial. We come back, Tennessee Whiskey into a KC tag in for the near fall on Laredo. Corner combo, Snapmare into Flip Forward Neck Breaker, KC is on a roll. AJ tags Laredo and starts talking crap to KC, they swerve and go Finger Poke of Doom, but it’s not a legal pin. Suddenly tornado attacks, System and Rascalz go for broke, AJ hits the Senton to break the eventual pin, Laredo counters AJ’s Chokeslam attempt. Trey clears out The System, Wentz sends himself and KC over and out, Laredo with a Corkscrew Moonsault, which looked cool but it’s the pile of morons waiting to get hit spot.
AJ hits the Down Payment on Laredo, but Trey blind tagged AJ. Meteora on AJ, Trey pins Laredo and Rascalz win.
Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali
Raj looks like shit in the gear he came down in…and he wrestles equivalently. I would rather anyone else comeback…give me Anarquia.
Ali murders Raj, Instant Dropkick, Rolling Neckbreaker, Corkscrew Standing Moonsault, it’s not close. Raj tries to counter things but Ali Bellclap, a little Duck the left, connect the right. Raj even does a terrible looking Punch Combo, he’s in bad shape, a bad looking Ushigoroshi, Raj with a sloppy looking something, 450 ends it.
Fire Raj as quickly as you brought him back. You don’t need a comedically pathetic job guy when the roster is like 4 guys getting pushed and everyone else sucks. Stop being stupid. Ali still hates women too.
This Injury Report is the dumbest segment in the history of wrestling. Stop treating fake shit as “serious business”.
ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee
ASH mocks karate stuff, Lei throws a few Rising Crane kicks as ASH bails and then things slow down a little. But a Pump Kick, Sliding Kick and Low Dropkick cause ASH to cower and claim her tooth broke. It’s a bait to pull Lei into the turnbuckles and them get in a few stomps. Ash keeps Lei in the corner, Suplexes her ankles into the buckles and then Ash throws a few Booty Shots/Hit Attacks then starts a grounded stretch, Lei Headscissors her down, still sells the hips and ankles, but dodges and fires, combination strikes into the 10 Count Down Strikes. T-bone Suplex, into the pinfall, for only two.
Cheapshot into Running Meteora from ASH for two. Ash goes for the Miz Yes Kicks and Lei No Sells and asks for more. Gorgeous Capture Suplex into Thunder Struck and TKO with flair. My baby has a better finish now! Yay!
Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber
Hannifan cursing and being pissed at Trick for not even showing but is more entertaining than a squash match. Not that Mance’s offense is bad, but 2 out of 3 job matches is stupid.
.@milanmiracle and @AriannaGraceWWE make history as the first father/daughter tag team in TNA!

Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa
Marella tries to tie up with Robbie, but he bails and tags out to Victoria so Arianna comes in and aside from Alicia Fox’s silliness, the tie up was decent with Arianna and Victoria. Tessa interferes and the Referee throws her out. Victoria comes back in and aside from a slight miscommunication with how Arianna does her punches, Alicia Fox is making her look…pretty good. Transition moves, okay brawling and Arianna looks amazing in her outfit.
Rob and Santino distract the referee and Victoria hits a Figure Four into her Northern Lights Suplex, only for 2. Arianna finally Back Body Drop to find the tag, Santino and Rob, Santino does his split dodge into the Standing Headbutt, Arianna Cross Body onto Victoria. Rob pulls out the ref, then shoves the ref into Santino, Santino into the steps and Arianna attack but Alicia and Lish, the fix is in, Arianna eats the pin.
International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona
A few quick brawl moves, Shoulder Tackles, Strikes, Back Breakers, Cardona does get dumped out and eats a SCUD. Maclin bounces Cardona’s face off the apron and hits an Elbow off the apron to keep Cardona reeling, but a dodged tackle sends Maclin into the steps. Cardona tries to Piledriver Maclin on the ramp, but Back Drop counter, into commercial.
Formulaic commercial etiquette of Cardona still in control, throws Maclin into the ropes, Diving Shoulder Tackle lays both dudes out and they get up by 8. Fighting Spirit spot, Cardona hits ropes and gets hit by Maclin twice, Thesz Press, Ground and Pound, Back Elbow and Olympic Slam has Maclin rolling. Splash into Lariat for two. Maclin has been all gas no brakes. Cardona tries to take a few shortcuts that turns into a Straight Jacket Takedown. Cardona to the top, Maclin cuts him off, Superplex spot. 1-2-kick out!
Maclin goes topside for a Jar Headbutt, Cardona hits the ropes so Maclin crashes into the corner, 2 Reboots connect, the third gets caught, counter into Busaiku Knee, Jar Headbutt. In and out, Cardona uses the middle rope for the Low Blow, Killswitch from Cardona but Maclin kicks out. Cardona dodges and shoves Maclin towards the ref, he puts the brakes on, Radio Silence! 1-2-Kick out! Maclin catches a top rope move, Power Bomb, Corner Splash, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs, KIA and Maclin retains!
Overall Score: 4.5/10
Boring paint by numbers show, no Trick, System has one move, Robert Stone is a scumbag, too long to introduce new girls, lots of throw away segments and Rosemary sets up YET ANOTHER Monster’s Ball match. These aren’t interesting when there’s one every 3 months. So we can have terrible Monster’s Ball matches quarterly, Barbed Wire Massacre and Clockwork Orange House of Fun…BUT NO LOCKDOWN!?
Go home TNA, you’re drunk.

Best of the Super Juniors 32 B Block: El Desperado VS Robbie Eagles!
The Rogue Luchador still has that target on his back, not only because he could go to the finals with his win and Yoh’s loss, but because he is THE IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion. Could the Sniper of the Skies kill two birds with one victory? Or is Despy about to go back-to-back at the BOSJ finals?

Despy has the leg and SPLASHES down on it! Eagles kicks at Despy from the mat, but Despy pushes on a leg to have a toehold! Eagles endures, Despy drags him around, and ties up the legs for an INDIAN DEATHLOCK! Despy slaps his own leg into working, but Eagles sits up to CHOP! Despy eggs him on so Eagles CHOPS again! And CHOPS again! Despy “falls over” and that puts on more pressure! Eagles flails while Despy just lounges. Eagles crawls over, pushes Despy out of his way, and has the ROPEBREAK!
The fans applaud and Red Shoes calls the break. Despy claims he needs help, but Eagles fires hands! Despy lets go, but he kneels on the bad leg!

Speaking of which, Kosei Fujita now makes his way out here to be face to face with Yoh. Yoh holds the ropes open for Fujita to step into the ring. Fujita and Yoh get face to face, and Fujita points at the tag title on Yoh’s shoulder, because he also wants that belt. Yoh knows, since he and Wato took it from Fujita & Eagles. But Yoh dismisses Fujita, they’ll meet again on June 1st. Yoh then takes up the mic to tell Fujita, “Ya bastard… I’ll show you true chaos! Now, just one more win. In Ota, the best wind will blow.” Yoh drops the mic to leave it at that. Will that wind be the winds of change? Or will Yoh fail to bring down The Mighty Japanese Young Punk?
Here are the FINAL B Block standings!
YOH: 6-3, 12 points [FINALIST]
El Desperado: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
MAO: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
Taiji Ishimori: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie Eagles: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
SHO: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Nick Wayne: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Kevin Knight: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Titan: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ryusuke Taguchi: 3-6, 6 points [ELIMINATED]
My Thoughts:
A great night to wrap round nine and therefore the round robin portion. No repeat BOSJ finalists, which is actually great because now we’ve got a fresh match-up. Taguchi VS Knight was still a great match for not affecting outcomes, and Knight gets to return to AEW with a win. The flipside is Titan gets a win over Nick Wayne, I really do think it books itself, Nick VS Titan for the ROH World TV Championship on Grand Slam: Mexico. Christian Cage can even be condescending to Nick over how Nick didn’t make it to the finals, adding to that feud. Nick can beat Titan in the rematch, then get in Christian’s face to make a match for All In: Texas, or at least Supercard of Honor where ROH titles should be showing up anyway.
Great stuff with Mao and his team against Sho and the House of Torture. I was pleasantly surprised that Mao won, and I wonder if the House of Torture goes to a DDT Pro show to battle it out with Strange Love Connection. Mao winning also added great drama to the remaining matches, Despy VS Eagles was awesome stuff, probably the actual best match of the night. Yoh VS Taiji wasn’t quite as hot going by the crowd, but Yoh getting the win to shut the door on Despy was good. Yoh VS Fujita will be great, a bit hard to call, but that makes it fun.
My Score: 9/10
