Backstage interview with Jerry Lynn.
Lexi Nair is with the member of the board as they’re both outside the dressing room of “Dalton’s Friend.” Dalton Castle himself can be heard shouting at his friend, and they’re both hoping for a word. Jerry knocks on the door, and Castle opens it, wearing a boat captain’s hat…? Castle puts that away as he says hi and asks what’s up. Lexi and Jerry both say they want to talk to Castle’s “friend.” Oh, right, his friend. Yeah, uh, no… Wait, is that just the laundry room? No. Look, his friend is busy, okay? But Johnny TV & Taya Valkyrie walk over and laugh. Where’s Castle’s imaginary friend? Hey, he is real, okay? Johnny is just a wild pig of filth!
Johnny gets heated but Jerry keeps everyone calm. Jerry tells Castle he cannot interfere in the match tonight or he will be suspended. That’s fine by Castle, he won’t even be ringside. He’ll be watching the match backstage on the monitor, when his friend takes it to Johnny! Johnny says oh no no, Castle will see what happens when a TV wrestler takes a ham ‘n’ egger to Slam Town! Where is Slam Town? Castle doesn’t know, and he slips back inside the room. There are still no answers to who this “friend” is, or if they’re even real, but will Johnny TV prove himself right later tonight?
Ethan Page VS Aaron Solo!
All Ego wants Kyle Fletcher to be watching this, and to keep that ROH World Television Championship warm. Will Ethan continues to wear the purple ‘n’ pink for his daughter, will he be one step closer to wearing gold for her, too?

And the hot streak continues! Ethan shakes Solo’s hand then smiles. That makes a new six-in-a-row, is All Ego about to cash in and go after the Aussie Arrow? Or will the Aussie Arrow find Ethan first?
Lexi Nair talks with Billie Starkz.
Lexi is overly cheery as she says “Hey~, buddy~! Big match tonight!” Yeah, it’s super exciting. Yes, and Nyla Rose asked Lexi to give Billie this folder. Billie looks inside and sees Nyla is calling for a MEM!? Billie tells Lexi to tell Nyla that if she wants this Minion Empowerment Meeting, have her find Billie after her match. Lexi is stuck in the middle, but will the Native Beast indeed find Billie after the match?
Johnny TV w/ Taya Valkyrie VS Dalton Castle’s Friend!
It’s the moment of truth! Either this mystery man is real, or The Peacock is in real trouble for fibbing to Jerry Lynn! Wait, who is “El Hombre de Pavo Real de Montana?” Hold on, doesn’t that just translate to The Peacock Man of Montana?! And out walks someone who is clearly just Castle with a beard, glasses, beanie and winter jacket! Taya is confused, she isn’t sure if she should be mad or laughing. But will Castle’s insane “friend” still SMASH John TV’s face in?
Johnny gets a mic to say sorry, but we all know it’s YOU, Castle! There will be NO match tonight! Nice try, “Beardo Weirdo.” He and Taya go to leave but The Peacock Man says no no no! He isn’t Dalton Castle, he’s someone totally different! Taya says in Espanol that no disrespect, but he’s a dumbass! Uh, okay, yes, his name is Spanish, but that was to encourage everyone to learn Spanish. He even downloaded one of those apps, but who has the time? The glasses, beard and beanie come off, and Castle admits, it was him. It was him all along. He is sorry for the ruse. But it’s just that, he’s so exhausted!
The fans rally for Castle but Taya & Johnny tell them to shut up. Castle says he is too tired to chase Johnny, he just wants to fight. Johnny says no, Castle smells like cheese. See, Taya here is TV Ready. Johnny is of course TV Ready. But Castle is NOT TV Ready! Fans boo but Castle says, “I want to SMASH your face. I want to SMASH your face! I want to SMASH your face into a Picasso, I wanna Jackson Pollock your ribs, and I’m gonna kick you (Taya) in the Georgia O’Keefe!” Security stops Castle from going up the ramp as he asks why Johnny won’t fight him! The fans chant “Let Them Fight! Let Them Fight!”
Johnny says NO! Because Castle has NOTHING that Johnny wants! Fans boo but Castle asks what Johnny wants. What does he want? Anything! Say whatever it is! Security picks Castle up to put him back at the ring. Taya says if he means anything, then maybe… She and Johnny talk, and Johnny says if Castle wants to know what he wants… Yes! Everyone wants to know! Okay! Johnny will tell him! Next week. Fans boo as Mr. & Mrs. TV laugh and leave us on a cliffhanger. But just what will they demand of The Peacock in order for him to have this fight?
ROH hears from Shane Taylor Promotions.
Shane Taylor himself says, “In 1964, Sam Cooke, international singer, songwriter and music producer wrote A Change Is Gonna Come. And 60 years later, we’re still fighting for that change. My apologies to Mr. Cooke for the inaction of others, but in 2024, that change is here. And it starts with STP. So this goes out to anybody on the AEW or ROH roster. If you are tired of being second class, if you are tired of being overlooked, if you are tired of being underappreciated and underutilized, you can continue on the same career path that you’re on. Or you come fight with us and help us change this game. Rumble, bad man, rumble.”
STP has put out an open call to any who want to join up. Is this the start of STP running pro-wrestling?
Backstage interview with Maria Kanellis-Bennett.
At least, it’s supposed to be, but Lexi isn’t sure where she went. But then Maria walks over, thanks Lexi for meeting her back here, and says right this way. They have something to show everyone and it is amazing. Griff Garrison & Cole Karter are beating up on Serpentico!! They stomp away on him but then run away as Angelico rushes in! Angelico checks on his amigo, but then realizes that’s not his Serpentico. Karter & Griff beat Angelico down, then RAM him into the road case! And surprise, that was just some stage hand wearing the stolen mask! The REAL Serpentico rushes over and is furious!
#SNAKEMAN shouts after those “perros” (dogs), will Spanish Announce Project tener su venganza (have their revenge)?
Billie Starkz VS Araya Thorn!
The Top Minion is in a bad mood after the truly hostile takeover by Nyla Rose. But will she keep on winning towards the ROH Women’s Television Championship tournament? Or will all of this become too much of a distraction?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the fans rally up. The two circle, feel things out, and tie up. They go around, Billie waistlocks but Thorn fights the lift. Thorn wrenches free to wristlock, but Billie spins and wrenches back. Billie grinds the shoulder but Thorn rolls and wrenches back. Thorn wristlocks and then grinds the shoulder but Billie fights up. Billie slips through, wrenches, wristlocks, and then rolls with Thorn! Billie trips Thorn right to a toehold and fans applaud. Thorn endures, throws forearms, but Billie just glares. Fans fire up and Thorn apologizes but Billie punches away on the knee!
Thorn scrambles to the ROPEBREAK, Billie lets off to CLUB her! Billie whips but Thorn blocks to send Billie into the corner. Thorn runs up, blocks the boots but not the rebound ENZIGIRI! The fans rally for Billie and she flexes. Billie runs up to ELBOW Thorn low, then KNEE LIFT and LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Billie is frustrated but the fans rally up.

The fans fire up, Billie revels in it, and she builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit at the ramp and Billie roars! But here comes Nyla with a TABLE!!
Fans are torn as the Native Beast storms down the ramp! Billie is freaking out, she puts Thorn in and then says Nyla’s not supposed to be here! Nyla says carry on about your business, Billie. Thorn catches her for a cradle! TWO!! Billie wrenches, cravats to KNEE SMASH then HEEL KICK! Fans chant for the table as Nyla sets it up, so Billie puts Thorn in a half nelson chinbar and bends her back!! Thorn taps, Billie wins!
Winner: Billie Starkz, by submission
Billie sends a message to Nyla with her first submission victory in ROH, but Nyla gets a mic to “congratulate” her. Was her setting up the table distracting? Oops. But they’ve got business to attend to. Billie has been dodging Nyla for weeks now, so is Billie gonna be a good little minion? Or has she yee’d her last haw and Nyla has to put her through a table? “What say you, Minion?” Nyla tosses the mic right at Billie! Fans want table, and Billie says, “You’re full of surprises, Nyla. But I got a surprise for you.” ATHENA IS HERE?!? The fans fire up as The Fallen Goddess’s music hits, and Nyla looks to the ramp.
Wait! Athena slides in from the crowd side! Nyla turns around, and Athena BLASTS her down through the table!! The fans are thunderous as Texas’ Overlord is back in HER house! The ROH Women’s World Champion stands tall alongside HER Minion, will she make sure Nyla comes to understand that through violence and pain?
Four Corner Survival: Trish Adora VS Kiera Hogan VS Diamante VS Leyla Hirsch w/ Rachael Ellering!
The last time there was a Fatal 4 Way in this stacked ROH Women’s Division, the Cuban Diamond came out on top. But she, the AfroPunk and the Hottest Flame are gonna run it back, with a LEGIT fourth element in this one. Who makes one more big wave as the ROH Women’s Championship Tournament looms ever closer?

Backstage interview with Leyla Hirsch & Rachael Ellering.
Lexi is with the LEGIT Friends of Strong Smile, and notes that was a tough loss in the Fatal 4. Leyla isn’t even sure what happened. Just that she took the loss. She asks Rachael what was going on, and Rachael apologizes. Leyla can handle business on her own, obviously, but when Diamante got the chair, Rachael thought she was helping. But then three seconds later, turns out not. Leyla says it’s fine, she’s just frustrated. The tournament is coming, she wanted momentum for it, but they’ll put this behind them. Like they said last time, Leyla’s got Rachael’s back, and Rachael has Leyla’s. They’re good, they fist bump, but will their bond break when push comes to shove?
Lee Johnson VS Gravity!
Speaking of Fatal 4 Ways, Big Shotty won his last time, and now he looks to continue on 1v1. Will Johnson keep his momentum going towards a title opportunity? Or will the Astronaut of Lucha liftoff towards the gold instead?

Backstage interview with Dalton Castle.
Lexi finds herself by the “locker room” of Dalton’s “friend,” and of course finds The Peacock himself. She notes the cliffhanger Johnny TV left us with, what does Castle think Johnny wants in exchange for a match? Castle has no idea. No clue. What could it be? His wit? His worm farm that helps germinate his plant? Maybe it’s Castle’s blood? Does Johnny want buckets of Castle’s “perfect” blood?! And worst of all, Castle has to wait a week!? A WEEK!? Castle feels sick thinking about it but Lexi says he has to be patient. Castle is almost foaming at the mouth! Lexi wants to call a medic but Castle needs CHEESE!
Castle gets inside a dryer and says wake him up in a week! Lexi slams the door closed on Castle, will The Peacock last being driven crazy by his own obsession?
Four Corner Survival: Jack Cartwheel VS AR Fox VS Willie Mack VS Komander!

Athena and friends regroup backstage.
Lexi and Billie give Athena a group hug, they’re so happy to have her back. She says she gets it, okay? The hugging stops, and Athena says that tonight went exactly as planned. Everything is back to normal, MIT is in full swing, and they even got Lexi a new hat to go with her new shirt. The shirt is “The Family” and it’s Athena, Billie & Lexi in anime style, the hat is the cowgirl hat Nyla was wearing earlier. But Athena has more: there’s Honey Jack, green apple Skittles and kittens, so go get the car. Lexi & Billie hurry away excitedly, and then Athena talks to Nyla through the camera.
“You think that you’re playing some type of game, but I’ve been here, I’ve done that. But I’ve never had someone disrespect me by coming into my house and putting me down. I know you’re new to ROH, but everything the light touches is MINE. And in my kingdom, you are nothing but a miniscule little ant. So, my show, my rules, my MIT! I am the Alpha, the Minion Overlord, your Forever ROH Champion, Nyla, and it’s about your ass bows down.” But then Nyla runs in and SPINEBUSTERS Athena through a catering table!! Nyla says, “Psych, you THOT.” Nyla then takes an orange and bites into it, peel and all!
Just when The Fallen Goddess got back up, the Native Beast throws her back down! When and where will these two forces of nature have it out in the ring?
My Thoughts:
A really good episode of ROH, even at an hour and 42 minutes. I ended up covering more of this show than I expected, too, but for one, that WWE press event got me hyped so I had to do something with all that energy. Also, this is how ROH should be doing episodes. So much was either story motivated or had story to motivate me to watch it. Really good showing from Aaron Solo but of course Ethan wins. It’d be fitting if Ethan confronted Kyle Fletcher for his ROH World Television Championship during a Don Callis Family segment, but that probably won’t happen since AEW hasn’t been trying that hard to include ROH in stuff outside of having ROH wrestlers job to AEW wrestlers.
I figured “Dalton Castle’s Friend” wasn’t a real person, but I didn’t think Castle would have that fake beard as his disguise. Especially after his alter ego’s name being in Espanol. Castle’s still hilarious in this story but I’d like if they just get to the match already. And what happened to what they were doing with Kiera going after Taya? Why wasn’t there a Mixed Tag build? Did the ROH Women’s Television Championship detour all things? We got another great Women’s Fatal 4 and a really good win for Diamante that also adds to the tension between Leyla and Rachael. Maybe Taya and Kiera meet in the opening round of the tournament, same as Leyla and Rachael.
Strong promo from Shane Taylor, and here’s hoping they add more members to the faction after all. Honestly, not sure why Johnson wasn’t added before, but he seems to be doing fine now after a really good match against Gravity. Great win for Johnson here, he might get a shot at the ROH TV Championship but I can’t be sure he wins it. And great 8 Man Tag tonight. Great teamwork from Infantry and Savages, but after that promo, of course STP wins it for their side. And great story stuff with Griff & Karter with SAP, that tag team grudge match should be a Tornado Tag or something. And awesome main event Fatal 4 and awesome win for Komander, though I’m not sure he’ll ever really get an ROH title to add to his AAA Cruiserweight Championship.
And really good stuff out of the story of Athena and Nyla Rose. Billie gets a good win tonight, and I actually like how they had Billie set Nyla up for Athena’s return better than my idea of it being during Nyla VS Billie. But with Athena having a promo to close out the night, I just felt Nyla’s retaliation coming. With all this table stuff, I have a feeling we’re getting no less than a No Disqualification match, maybe even just a plain Tables Match. All I know is, there’s gonna be a huge table spot in their title match that then leads to who wins.
My Score: 8.6/10

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.

The fans boo as Okada aims with the belt! BELT SHOT to the ribs!! And then BELT SHOT to the head!! Callis & Okada stomp away on Briscoe, then they leave him behind. Another message sent to not just Kenny Omega but to anyone who would dare defy them. Will Okada go from Continental Champion to Unified Champion after going All In?
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 tell MJF off and MJF tells them to shut up. MJF and Mistico tie up, Mistico SHOVES MJF, and Mistico eggs MJF on! MJF gets up, he and Mistico circle again, and they tie up. MJF kicks low and grins.
MJF brings Mistico around to headlock but Mistico fires body shots. Mistico powers up and out, then CHOPS! Mistico winds up and the fans rally, and he knuckle locks before he CHOPS again! Mistico goes up, up, and he tightrope walks to FLYING ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up as Mistico then hits a CODE RED! Cover, TWO! MJF bails out but Mistico builds speed! Mistico handsprings to fake MJF out! MJF thinks he’s smooth for running away, but then MVP tells him to focus on Mistico, not on the fans. MJF says he knows, and he eggs on Mistico. Mistico runs out there to chase MJF, but then the Hurt Syndicate stands in the way!
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!

“ESTA LUCHA!” as Yuta runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, and BUSAIKU KNEES Shibata! But Shibata’s right up to PENALTY KICK!! Both men are down and the fans continue to rally! Hot tags to Swerve and Moxley! These two fire forearms and the fans fire up again! The most dangerous men in AEW go back and forth, but Swerve gets the edge! Moxley ROLLING ELBOWS! Swerve mule kicks and HAYMAKERS! Ospreay adds a HOOK KICK! Swerve somersaults for the FLATLINER! Ospreay helps Swerve turn Moxley in the gator roll, CHASING THE DRAGON!! The fans are thunderous and Ospreay sets Moxley up!
Swerve goes up, but Matt stops Swerve! Swerve kicks Matt away and Ospreay BOOTS Matt down! But Marina distracts the ref! Nick SHOVES Swerve and Swerve HOTSHOTS off the ropes! Moxley rolls swerve up to cover, DEATH BUCKS WIN!!
Winners: The Death Riders, The Young Bucks & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
The Problem is always a factor, but this isn’t done as Yuta & The Bucks beat up on Joe! Then the Bucks SUPERKICK Swerve! Moxley has a SLEEPER on Swerve, then feeds him to the SUPERKICKS! Moxley puts the SLEEPER back on, but HERE COMES HANGMAN!! The Cowboy told us about the ringside ban, but also mentioned that once the match was over, it was fair game! Hangman storms out here, unintentionally saving Swerve, and he glares at Moxley. The fans fire up as Hangman throws off his jacket and rushes the ring! Moxley stands his ground, the two get face to face, and now go fist for fist! Yuta gets in but Hangman DECKS him!
Moxley kicks low! Moxley whips but Hangman goes to the apron! Moxley waits, Hangman slingshots, but then Moxley dodges! BUCKSHOT on Matt! Well, it did hit a Buck, and Nick asks wtf! Hangman says he told them, they stay out of his business or else! But now Moxley has the briefcase! Only for Hangman to spot him first. 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
