The Righteous speaks.

Vincent says, “Sometimes, you need to die a little in order to bloom again.” Dutch says, “You plant a seed in the ground for a beautiful garden to grow. But once it’s stepped and buried, left to die, new seed can be planted. Same goes for the mind.” Vinnie says someone will always say you weren’t right, that you did it wrong. But in their world, The Righteous have never made a bad move, man. The grave is just the door to rebirth. When people try to bury you, remind yourself that you are a seed. Death walks. Dig what they’re saying? Speaking of, they just dug up a special package with their names on it. Just what are The Righteous about to unleash upon AEW?

AEW hears from Queen Aminata.

“Being from Guinea, West Africa, growing up, I didn’t have a role model in sport. And I said, ‘I’ll become one. I’ll be the role model that I always wanted.’ Although I haven’t been in AEW recently, Your Queen has been juicily killing it. I am undefeated in ROH. In my way to the ROH Women’s TV Championship stands Red Velvet.” Queen Aminata tells Velvet that she is amazing, but come next Thursday, you will not stand between that title and Aminata. Aminata vows to win the title not just for herself, but for all the juicy people. And the people back home will see why she is the one, the only African Woman wrestler!

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall

The Alpha is not the Alpha because he is undefeated, but because he is undeterred! Konosuke rebounds after the loss to Ospreay, will Konosuke look to finally grab up some gold?

Serena Deeb speaks.

“After 15 months on the shelf, going through every test imaginable, to my spirit, to my body, to my mind, and proving to myself in the process what I knew before but reminding myself that I am absolutely undeniably unbreakable. When I walked back in this locker room, I watched the demeanor of every single woman change and then some, because they know the game just changed. I made my intensions very clear from the start: The Professor of Professional Wrestling, Serena Deeb is back! And I will become champion!” The Professor has her plan, the only questions left are when and where will she get her opportunity?

Winners: The Undisputed Kingdom, by pinfall

The AEW International Champion caps it off for himself and the ROH World Tag Team Championships! Will Taven & Bennett blaze a trail through the AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament to add even more belts to the collection?

My Thoughts:

A great Rampage, great stuff going into the AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament. Of course the EVPs treat themselves as the number one seed, but I also like that they’re taking on Private Party to start. The Bucks are surely winning that to avenge the huge upset from the early days of AEW. Hobbs & Fletcher for Don Callis Family is an interesting move but they’re going to have a great match with Best Friends. Cassidy & Trent VS Dark Order was a great match here tonight, and there’s a chance Cassidy & Trent make it to the quarterfinals but certainly not past The Bucks in the semifinals. And given how those brackets are made, it is very likely we get Bucks VS FTR at Dynasty.

Great tag team debut for Storm & Mariah, and I was oddly not expecting Thunder Rosa to be Deonna’s teammate. A great choice all the same, Rosa can use helping Deonna as a shortcut back to the top title. Great promos from Aminata and Deeb, especially with Aminata plugging the ROH Women’s Television Championship Tournament. Serena seems to be in a holding pattern, she’ll surely get a shot at one of the titles once we’re past Dynasty and the stories we’ve got like Storm VS Deonna and Julia VS Willow.

Awesome match from Konosuke VS Komander, and it was even funny Jericho finally got upset seeing other people use the Lionsault. Great win for Konosuke, he should also get in on a title scene but they’re all accounted for right now. And great Six Man Tag for the main event, but Undisputed Kingdom getting the win makes some sense. They’re gonna be waiting for a wild card in the next round, the “go-home math,” if that’s applicable so far out from their tournament match, indicates Kingdom will lose to Cassidy & Trent as a partial revenge on Roddy for taking the International title. Plus, Taven & Bennett have the ROH tag titles, they need to worry about defending those at Supercard of Honor or something.

My Score: 8.8/10
