Taya Valkyrie steps in, with Johnny TV, and says he is so right. She’s so excited to have Wight here, he is doing a fantastic job. Plus, he’s Hollywood, they’re Hollywood, legends recognize legends. Johnny also agrees, ROH is on fire, Johnny’s on fire, Taya’s on fire. In fact, Johnny’s so hot, he feels he deserves a shot at Mark Briscoe.
Wight says firstly, thank you for the compliments. And yes, he agrees, Johnny’s been on fire. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, so Johnny will get his match. Johnny & Taya are fired up, but are they about to be cooled off real quick?

Robbie Eagles speaks.
It was after the show last Thursday when The Sniper of the Skies said, “I would say that was a tough workout there. But ROH really didn’t give me much competition, and this ain’t the first time that I’ve been here. TMDK is here in ROH, Robbie Eagles is here in ROH, and I want harder matches. I want more meaningful matches. I’ve done it in Japan, I’ve done it all over Australia, but now I want ROH gold! And I think, because I watch so much of it, I could be the Champion of Television. Atlantis Jr, you have what I want. I’m challenging you for the ROH World TV title. Will you accept? Or will you let me prove that The Mighty Don’t Kneel?”
Lio Rush VS Blake Christian!
Speaking of doing it big in Japan and in the US, The Bad Child and #ALLHEA(R)T are both back here in ROH, and they’re both looking to continue where they left off. Will Lio make himself the Man of the Hour once again? Or will Blake heat up and fight his way to the top?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the fans cheer, and Blake wheelbarrows right at the bell! Victory roll, TWO!! Lio escapes just in time, and Blake says he almost had Lio! Blake takes a swipe but Lio jumps the sweep, then runs, redirects, but Blake keeps up! The fans cheer and Lio says okay. Lio runs, redirects, but Blake still corners him! Lio slips around to roll Blake up, TWO! Blake kicks low, whips him, but Lio reverses to kick low in return. Lio brings Blake up, goes to the ropes, then goes up and around, only for Blake to block the whip! Blake whips, Lio reverses, but Blake goes up and over to FLYING-MARE!

Lio goes into the ring to run and DIVE! Another direct hit and Blake hits railing! The fans fire up and Lio stands, the ring count starting. Lio puts Blake in the ring at 4 of 20, then follows. The fans rally and duel as Lio back suplexes. Blake lands out, CLAWS Lio’s eyes, but he hides it from the ref! Blake puts Lio in a corner, defends his innocence to the ref, but Lio runs back at him! Lio blocks a boot but Blake ENZIGIRIS!
Lio staggers, Blake somersaults and PELES the arm! Lio bails out and clutches that arm, but now Blake runs to DIVE! Direct hit at the ramp and Lio tumbles! Lio holds his arm and Blake mockingly applauds. Blake storms up to Lio, wrenches that bad arm, and then hammerlocks the arm, so that he can RAM Lio against the apron! Blake scoops Lio, still holding the hammerlock, so he can POST Lio’s arm! The fans boo Blake, the ring count is climbing, but Blake puts Lio in at 13. Blake drags Lio up to wrench the arm, then he RAMS shoulders! Blake taunts Lio as the fans rally up, and Lio grinds his forearm into Blake’s face.
Blake takes a swing but Lio ducks it, and he CHOPS in return! And CHOPS again! And then KICKS a leg! And KICKS again! Blake goes to a corner, Lio whips but Blake blocks! The bad arm jams, and then Blake KICKS it! Lio comes back but Blake dodges to BOOT him in the corner! Blake whips corner to corner, Lio slides to a stop! Lio boots but Blake blocks! Blake clinches to SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! The fans rally, but Blake has the arm to drag Lio around. Blake traps one arm, and he stands on the other to STOMP it! The ref checks Lio as he writhes, but Lio refuses to quit. So Blake drags Lio up and goes for the arm!

Lio slips under, shoves Blake, but Blake handsprings to NEURALIZER KICK! Lio tumbles out of the ring while fans rally up!
Blake takes aim, builds speed, and he FOSBURY FLOPS! Into a gut wrench! TOMBSTONE to the floor!! The fans again say “HE HAS NO HEART!” as Blake shows no mercy. Blake puts Lio in, aims again, and he springboards to 450 SPLASH!! Cover, TWO?!? Lio survives and Blake is shocked! The fans rally up as hard as they can, but Blake pie faces Lio. Blake kicks Lio around, but Lio drags himself up. Blake kicks him again, so Lio LARIATS! The fans fire up as Lio rises up! Lio bobs ‘n’ weaves, then fires off fast hands from all sides! Lio ROCKS Blake, but Blake BOOTS Lio! Blake reels Lio in to scoop, but Lio slips free! Lio ducks ‘n’ dodges, RUSH HOUR!! Victory roll, LIO WINS!
Winner: Lio Rush, by pinfall
Blake is fast, but Lio proves he’s just a step faster. They keep the Code of Honor, only for Blake to push through Lio’s bad arm! The fans boo, but will Blake just keep turning up that heat until he’s blazing a trail to the top? Will Lio still be the Man of the Hour even then?
Athena is here!
The Fallen Goddess struts her way out, Billie Starkz following behind her. They go to the ring, the fans chanting “FOREVER! FOREVER!” Athena holds up her ROH Women’s World Championship, and has a mic to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you… ME~!” The fans cheer and Athena says this is the first-ever live Minion Training Session, brought to you by MIT, Minions In Training. And then that accursed whistle returns. Athena blows it at Billie, and Billie goes right into doing sit-ups. Athena keeps talking, saying she will tell us how we got here. The fans count for Billie, but Athena says Billie’s gonna do those forever.
Anyway, Athena says “we got here for a very particular reason. Me as a Minion Overlord, my generosity spreads to ALL the Minions. But I took two Minions under my wing. Minion 400,237 & Three-Quarters…” Billie takes a moment to wave, then goes back to sit-ups. Don’t do that! Double-time! And then of course, Minion Bestie, Lexy Nair~! Billie stops to asks where even is Lexy, and why isn’t Lexy training? Athena says Lexy is not training because Lexy did not lose Athena’s ROH women’s World Television Championship! Sit-ups, Minion, let’s go! And Lexy is just so superb. She’s the ideal Minion!
“Let’s face it. Lexy is the only reason why I retained my championship at Death Before Dishonor!” Billie stops because she, as well as everyone else, knows that is not true. The fans still chant “FOREVER! FOREVER!” and Athena blows the whistle! FEEL THE BURN, MINION! Sorry about her. But Lexy is also the reason why Athena no longer has to deal with the “porcelain queen hussy,” Aminata. Now Athena is moving on to bigger and better. Like becoming the longest reigning champion in ROH, period! The fans cheer and Athena thanks them.
“And let’s face it, every porcelain hussy in the back is afraid of the most dominant champion in all of wrestling, the Fallen Goddess-” WAIT! Is that Abadon!? The Living Dead Girl’s music plays, but Abadon slips in from the crowd side! Athena talks smack, but gets tired of waiting. This is what she means! Everyone is afraid- Athena stops talking as she turns around to see Abadon! Athena composes herself, but then Abadon SHRIEKS! Athena bails out, but she left the belt behind… Athena reaches out and Abadon dares her to get it. Athena snatches the belt and hurries away. Athena asks where Billie was on that! Billie apologizes, she didn’t see Abadon, either!
The Fallen Goddess is already seeing Abadon is no porcelain hussy, but will she be seeing a lot more of Abadon, both in the ring an din her nightmares?
The Conglomeration speaks.
Mark Briscoe is with “Big Time” Tomohiro Ishii, and they are conglomerating hard as usual. Now, let’s talk about what he did earlier tonight. He shared the ring with one of the most innovative men in this business, the man that can walk on his hands and spin on his pants, Johnny TV! Mark tells Johnny, “It was an honor, my man! It was an honor. But the champion is still the champion, I picked up the victory. But I’m not here to talk about any victories that I’ve won. I’m here to talk about a loss that I suffered just a few weeks ago in front of hundreds of thousands of people on live TV, on AEW Dynamite, Wednesday night.
“The Beast Mortos pinned me 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring. I’m not a man to sit here and make excuses. So Mortos, truth be told, you have earned a shot at this title! But hell with that! I’m insisting on gettin’ your ass in the ring! I want the shot at the beast! Because I need my comeuppance, baby! The word of the day is, believe it or not, is recapitulation! So lemme, I need to talk to the ROH officials, I need to talk to Paul Wight! Lemme recapitulate! I need The Beast Mortos one-on-one! I’m putting the title on the line! I want yo’ ass, beast! I’m comin’ for you, beast! HUH!? Are you ready?! RAAAA~!”
The Chicken is fired up, but will he be ready for the monstrous minotaur when the gold is on the line?
MXM Collection speaks.
Mansoor says, “The Runaway of Honor fans have been loving MXM Collection. And even though The Esports Arena is usually filled with man-children who smell of Doritos and Mountain Dew, the Tip Touchers have been coming out in full force. We want to thank all of you for coming and supporting us.” Mansoor trails off as Maria Kanellis-Bennett and protege, Griff Garrison, step in. Maria says she is supporting them. She knows they know there is an owner of ROH, and a Board of Directors, but did they know that there is a First Lady of Honor? Let her introduce herself. She is Maria Kanellis-Bennett, THE First Lady of ROH.
And she had an idea for MXM. Let’s take her “baby boy,” and turn this tag team into a menage a trois. Oh, French! Fancy~. And Mason Madden sees that young “Griffith” has long legs, all his teeth, and long, luxurious hair. He’s like a cat, with hair. But Mansoor asks Griff this. If MXM were to… present their tips… What would Griff do? Maria nods, and Griff… PULLS THEIR FINGERS!? NO!!! What is wrong with Griff!? Is he a brute?!? You do not just grab a tip like that! MXM storms off and Maria says just touch tips! Really? It wasn’t a- NO! Not that, at all! Oh, okay, sorry. But the advice is too little too late, will Maria be able to smooth things over with MXM?
Mask For Mask: Serpentico VS Griff Garrison w/ Maria Kanellis-Bennett!
It’s been months on end that SNAKEMAN has been without his volt green mask, and this is the last straw! Serpentico made a deal with The First Lady of Honor: If Serpentico wins, he gets his mask back and washes his hands of this; but if Serpentico loses, he gives up wearing masks FOREVER! Everything is bigger in Texas, so is Serpentico going to have the biggest win or the biggest loss of his career here tonight?
Oh wait, Serpentico DIVES onto Griff as Griff & Maria make their entrance! The fans fire up, Maria is upset, but Serpentico whips Griff into railing! And then more railing! The fans cheer, Serpentico drags Griff up, and Serpentico whips Griff into more railing! The ref checks Griff, he clutches an arm, but Maria taunts Serpentico with the green mask. The distraction allows Griff to get up, and he ROCKS Serpentico! Griff goes to the ring, but Serpentico drags him back out! Serpentico winds up and CHOPS! The fans chant “ONE MORE TIME!” but Maria says no, no more times! Serpentico CHOPS again and the fans cheer!
Serpentico drags Griff up again, brings him around, and CHOPS! The ref says get this in the ring, the match hasn’t even started! Serpentico says hold on, and he takes aim at Griff. Serpentico runs up, but Maria stands in his way! Maria says no you don’t, Serpentico! The fans boo but Serpentico says okay. So he runs up anyway! Maria moves, and Griff FLAPJACKS Serpentico off steel! Maria mockingly asks if Serpentico is alright, and Griff takes a victory lap of sorts. Griff then goes back for Serpentico, brings him up, and THROWS him into the steel steps! Maria tells the ref to be patient, they’ll get in the ring.
Griff puts Serpentico in, the fans rally for Serpentico, and Griff rolls in. The bell rings, this is finally a match! Griff gives Serpentico some ground ‘n’ pound, then lets off to soak up heat. Serpentico stirs, the fans rally, and Serpentico fires hands! Griff stomps Serpentico down! Griff drags Serpentico up, puts him in a corner, and CHOPS! Serpentico sputters but Griff mockingly says, “One more time!” Griff winds up, but pokes Serpentico in the eyes! The ref reprimands and the fans boo more, but Griff whips Serpentico corner to corner hard! Serpentico flops down, Griff covers, ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer but Griff is annoyed.
Serpentico rises as the fans rally, but Griff drags him up. Serpentico fires hands! And a CHOP! Serpentico staggers, but comes back to JAWBREAKER! Serpentico whips, Griff reverses, but Serpentico UPPERCUTS! Griff dodges the lariat to atomic FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Serpentico survives and Maria complains, but the fans rally up. Griff scuffs Serpentico, but Serpentico fires body shots. Griff BOOTS Serpentico down! Griff then hauls Serpentico up, torture racks, TOWER HACKER BOMB!! High stack, TWO!! Serpentico survives again and the fans fire up! Griff is stunned, but Maria taunts Serpentico more.
Griff aims from a corner, and Serpentico eggs him on! So Griff spins, IVY LEAGUE DISCUS!! Cover, TWO?!?! Serpentico survives and Maria is furious! Griff can’t believe it, either, so Maria says to finish him! Griff storms around, drags Serpentico up, but Serpentico flops back over! Maria says call it, he’s out! But no, Serpentico tells the ref he can still fight! The fans rally for Serpentico, Griff aims, but Serpentico falls, IVY LEAGUE DISCUS hits the ref!!! The fans lose their minds, as does Griff! But Maria says this is perfect! She brings Griff a chair! Griff takes the chair, wedges it in a corner, and Maria smiles.
But wait! Here comes Angelico! The South African Stud is supposed to be banned from ringside, but that’s only with the ref conscious! Maria and Angelico argue, but Angelico has slipped a chair of his own into the ring. Griff drags Serpentico up, whips, but Serpentico reverses! Griff hits chair back first! And Serpentico JAMS the chair into the baby boy’s baby boys! Then Serpentico gets Angelico’s chair, and the fans chant “DO IT! DO IT!” Serpentico says okay, and he NUT-CHAIR-TOS Griff!! The fans are thunderous as Serpentico hides the evidence! Serpentico covers, the ref is still out! Serpentico would’ve won twice over!
Angelico revives the ref, the ref sees the cover, and finally a count! TWO?!?! Griff survives and Maria is furiously shouting for him to fight! “This is Awesome!” as Griff stirs. Serpentico glares at Griff, both men crawl over, and Serpentico fires a haymaker! Griff gives one back! The ref is too tired to reprimand over closed fists. Serpentico ROCKS Griff, Griff ROCKS Serpentico! Serpentico ROCKS Griff again! Griff ROCKS Serpentico again! Serpentico fires a flurry! Griff shoves, Serpentico spins, but into a BOOT! Griff pulls off Serpentico’s mask!! The fans boo, how could he! But wait, Serpentico had a second mask underneath, just in case!
The fans fire up as Griff sees that! Serpentico runs up, COMPLETE SHOT!! Then Serpentico hurries up a corner! The fans are thunderous as he FROG SPLASHES!! Cover, Serpentico wins!!
Winner: Serpentico, by pinfall (gets his mask back)
Maria is stunned! She thought she and Griff were gonna cheat the snake again, but Serpentico comes away vindicated! All masks back in hand, will Spanish Announce Project use this to finally go looking for some belts?
Backstage interview with Athena & Billie Starkz.
Melissa is now with Overlord and Minion, and brings up how they were taken aback by Abadon, maybe even afraid. Athena seethes before she snaps at Melissa, “I’m not afraid of anybody!” Athena tells Billie to go get the car, they are not dealing with this hussy, nor that “spooky b*tch.” Billie heads out, and Athena says she is the Forever Champion, the Minion Overlord, The Fallen Goddess, and the inspiration to every women’s division in wrestling! She’s the ROH Gatekeeper, The REAL Alpha, the American Joshi, and SO MUCH MORE! How dare “Not Lexy” says Athena is scared of some spooky, zombie… THING!
So she’ll just pretend that question wasn’t asked, and is getting out of here. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, will hate lead to suffering? And suffering for who?
ROH Pure Championship Proving Ground Match: Lee Moriarty VS Action Andretti!
Shane Taylor Promotions have been looking for a fight with Top Flight, and the opening salvo is #TAIGASTYLE daring The Sight to See to step up to the plate. But will Lee regret giving Action this opportunity? Or will he check a contender off the list?
The judges for this match are Jerry Lynn, Christopher Daniels & Paul Wight. The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and we’re on the block. The two circle, tie up, and Lee cording holds then wrenches to a wristlock. Lee spins Action and wrangles him, then keeps on the hand. Action kips up, grabs ropes to flip through, but the ref says that counts as his first ropebreak! Action is confused, but Lee wrenches Action again! Action rolls, handsprings, and cartwheels to wrench, snapmare and ghost pin! TWO, but Action has the cording hold. The fans cheer, but Lee fights up and powers Action back.

Action crawls, reaches out, but he remembers he has no ropebreaks to save him! And Lee rolls Action away from ropes anyway! Action endures, fights, still wants the ropes, but the ref reminds him there’s no breaks! Action can’t hold out anymore, he TAPS! Lee wins!
Winner: Lee Moriarty, by submission (denies Action Andretti a title opportunity)
At 6:20, Lee puts Action away! He still gives Action the Code of Honor handshake after, if only just barely. But with this, #TAIGASTYLE fires the first shot at Top Flight! Will Darius & Dante Martin make sure to fire right back in tag action?
Leyla Hirsch speaks.
“People know me as a wrestler. But the reality of it is, I’ve always been a fighter. I’ve always been underestimated over and over again because of my size. In the first-ever female Texas Deathmatch, I proved I’m one of the best. Diamante, you took me to the limit, and you gave me the fight of my life. But when my back is against the wall, I always find a way to get back on top. This is a message to the locker room. I am way more than meets the eye. And if you step up, I’m gonna show you just how legit I am.” Leyla has spoken, who will be smart enough to listen?
ROH World Television Championship: Atlantis Jr. VS Robbie Eagles!
Part one of a “double main event” is here as the second generation luchador is now in the sights of The Sniper of the Skies! While Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls are DUAL IWGP Heavyweight & NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Champions, and while Zack Sabre Jr. is going after the G1 Climax trophy, could Robbie be bringing home some gold here in ROH? Or will he be washed away by Atlantis Jr?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if the crossover continues, or just changes channels!
The Code of Honor is not upheld as Robbie kicks Atlantis’ hand away. The bell rings, Atlantis runs up but Robbie ducks to whip. Eagles drops, hurdles, keeps moving, but Atlantis hurdles. Robbie handsprings over and the fans cheer. They go again and Atlantis tilt-o-whirls to RANA! Robbie handsprings through, wrenches and runs to go up and around to arm-drag! Atlantis gets up, Robbie runs in, but into a pop-up KICK! Cover, ONE!! Robbie is tougher that that but Atlantis fireman’s carries him. Robbie fights and slips to the apron.

Robbie staggers, comes back, but Atlantis blocks a kick to SUPERKICK! Gut wrench and tuck! BASTARD DRIVER! Then a WHEELBARROW GERMAN! Cover, TWO!! Atlantis must’ve been watching Konosuke Takeshita in the G1 there. Atlantis drags Robbie to a drop zone, then goes up the corner. The fans fire up for some Latino Heat! FROG SPLASH FLOPS as Robbie moves! The fans boo, but then rally up as Robbie takes aim from the apron.
Atlantis staggers up, runs at Robbie, but Robbie GAMANGIRIS! Springboard, MISSILE DROPKICK to the legs! Atlantis writhes, Robbie rolls him, into the RON MILLER SPECIAL!! Atlantis endures the trailer hitch style hold, and he fights around! Atlantis reaches out, but Robbie drags him back! Atlantis is in deep waters, but he still swims his way forward!

Winner: Atlantis Jr, by submission (still ROH World Television Champion)
Atlantis celebrates, and he says this win was for the fans! Atlantis still wants to show Robbie respect, and he offers that Code of Honor. Robbie is reluctant, but he shakes Atlantis’ hand. The fans cheer, will we see Robbie take aim at belts in ROH and AEW in the near future? Will Atlantis make this one of the best runs between ROH, AEW and CMLL?
Paul Wight speaks.
“What an exciting time to be an ROH fan! ROH fans, we just saw our World Heavyweight Champion, Mark Briscoe, defeat Johnny TV! And Mark Briscoe has recapitulated to me many times that he is upset over being pinned by The Beast Mortos on Dynamite. So he’s come to me and wants to face The Beast Mortos. The Beast Mortos now, next week, is gonna get a championship opportunity against our World Heavyweight Champion, Mark Briscoe.” But in steps Tony Nese to complain. They’re just giving away opportunities to people who don’t deserve it!
The Premier Athletes have been the MVPs of ROH! Nese points out Daivari just took Shibata too the limit! Wight points out that Daivari lost. Nese says that’s not the point. Wight says if you think about it, Nese went up against Ishii, and lost. Well, Mark Sterling is in a trainer’s room because Shibata decided to attack a non-competitor. That should be a fine or suspension! But no~, the company’s too busy giving away opportunities! Wight understands the frustrations, so how about this? Nese has a match against Lio Rush. Nese wins, then we can talk title opportunities. Oh, so Nese has to again prove himself.
Fine! Against Lio Rush, Nese will be the giant in this match. Thanks for the lay-up. Wight sighs, but will The Bad Child be dunking on the OG Premier Athlete soon enough?
ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships: Dustin Rhodes & The Von Erichs VS The Cage of Agony!
Though their reign is still young, the heroes of Texas are being tested like never before! Dustin, Marshall & Ross are going up against perhaps THE most dominant ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions ever! Can these Cowboys of Honor survive one more night as champions? Or will they fail to escape the Cage of Agony?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who’s truly the best trio in ROH today!
The trios sort out and Ross starts against Bishop Kaun. The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the fans rally up for “VON ERICHS! VON ERICHS!” Ross and Kaun circle, tie up, and go around. Kaun wrenches an arm, but Ross rolls, kips up, and breaks free. Ross then hits a judo throw, but Kaun fights right up to wristlock. Kaun wrangles Ross, the fans rally, but Kaun bends fingers. Ross rolls back, wrenches Kaun then kicks, KICKS, and brings him over. Tag to Marshall, the Von Erichs whip and DROPKICK! Not the cleanest, but here comes Toa Liona! The Von Erichos dodge to DOUBLE DROPKICK!
Liona tumbles out, Marshall KICKS Kaun and ROCKS him in a corner. Marshall scoops Kaun to SLAM him! Then STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, ONE!! Kaun is tougher than that, but Marshall wrenches and whips. Marshall runs up, Kaun BOOTS him! Kaun then runs to LARIAT Marshall down! Tag to Liona, then Liona tags Cage. The Gates of Agony stand Marshall up and whip him to a corner. Liona sends Kaun in, he SPLASHES! Cage LARIATS, and then they send Marshall to Liona for another LARIAT! The fans boo but The Machine soaks it up. Cage bumps Marshall off buckles, and RAMS into him!
Cage stands Marshall up to CHOP him, ROCK him, then he tags Kaun. Kaun CHOPS Marshall but Marshall fights back! That just gets him mugged! Kaun suplexes Marshall, Marshall slips free to roll up, ONE!! Kaun winds up, Marshall dodges, hot tag to Ross! Ross BOOTS Kaun! And BOOTS again! Ross RANAS Kaun and the fans fire up! Kaun goes to a corner, Ross runs up, JUMP KICK! Ross HIP TOSSES Kaun, and then he PENALTY KICKS! The fans fire up, Ross runs, but Cage trips him up! The fans boo but Kaun CLUBS Ross! Kaun whips Ross, Ross KICKS back! Ross runs, but now Liona DUMPS him out!
The fans boo but the ref has to keep Dustin and Marshall back! Cage CLOBBERS Ross! Cage puts Ross in for Kaun, Kaun covers, TWO! Tag to Liona, then Kaun CHOPS Ross! The Gates of Agony bring Ross out to double hip toss, into a cradle and DOUBLE POWERBOMB! Ross sputters, but Liona stands on his neck! The ref counts, Liona lets off, and the fans rally again. Liona looms over Ross but Ross fires body shots. Liona KNEES Ross low! Liona whips, then he ELBOWS Ross down! The fans boo as Liona stares Dustin down. Liona drags Ross away from Dustin and Marshall to TOSS to the corner of Agony!
Tag to Cage, he stomps away on Ross. The ref counts but Cage digs his boots in. Cage lets off to get in the ref’s face, which lets Kaun and Liona CHOKE Ross! The ref again has to stop Dustin and Marshall, which lets Cage stomp away on Ross! The fans boo but Cage drags Ross up. Cage scoops Ross to SLAM him! Then Cage drops a BIG elbow! Cover, ONE, but Cage does push-ups to show off. Cage flexes, the fans boo, but Cage drags Ross from his corner. Tag to Kaun and he stomps Ross. Cage soaks up the heat from the fans, and Kaun scoops Ross to SLAM him! Kaun has a cocky cover, TWO! Kaun stomps Ross more!
Tag to Liona, the stomps continue, but Liona clamps onto Ross with a shoulder claw! The fans rally and Ross endures, because Von Erichs know all about claws. LIona CLUBS Ross, KNEES him low, then whips him to a corner. Liona BLASTS Marshall, then runs in at Ross! Ross dodges, Liona hits POST! Liona staggers back, Ross crawls, hot tags to Cage and Dustin! The Natural dodges and LARIATS! And LARIATS! Dustin whips, Cage reverses but Dustin says “Not Today!” RHODES UPPERCUT! Atomic drop, and a BOOT! Cage staggers, into the BULLDOG! Kaun runs up but into a SNAP POWERSLAM!
Liona runs up, Dustin dodges to GERMAN SUPLEX! Cage runs up, but into a dragon sleeper! CROSS RHODES!! Cover, KAUN BREAKS IT! Kaun saves Cage, and gives Dustin an AIR RAID CRASH! Ross runs up to V-TRIGGER Kaun! Liona POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS Ross! Marshall DISCUS LARIATS Liona! But Cage fireman’s carries Marshall, F5!! Dustin is back but Cage SUPERKICKS! Fireman’s carry for Dustin, and F- DESTROYER!! Dustin pops that one outta nowhere! Cover, TWO!! Cage survives but the fans are thunderous for Dustin & The Von Erichs! They all call their shots, but a SWARM gets in the ring!!
Winners: Dustin Rhodes & The Von Erichs, by disqualification (still ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions)
The fans boo as The Dark Order AND The Undisputed Kingdom are beating up on Team Texas!!Evil Uno, John Silver, Alex Reynolds, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett are all beating up on the heroes because they’re just villains! But here comes Sammy Guevara! He fires off SUPERKICK after SUPERKICK, only for Bennett to go after him! Sammy tries to fight, but this is 8v4! There’s just no way! WAIT! Here comes Fuego Del Sol & Spanish Announce Project! More heroes tip the scales, but that still makes this 8v7, the villains are still winning out! Dustin, Sammy, The Von Erichs, and the rest are all getting choked out and stomped out!
Security rushes the ring, but they get beat up just as bad! The fans boo, but Kaun & Liona CLOSE THE GATES! And then The Dark Order get Ross up, for the PENDULUM BOMB!! Dustin tries to help his friends, but he gets beat down by The Dark Order. The Kingdom give Sammy the DEATH VALLEY DRIVER and JUST THE TIP of the knee! Cage hauls Fuego up, reels him in, and Gory Especials for the WEAPON X!! Taven climbs, Bennett brings Dustin in, they want to see how #NeckStrong he is! HAIL MARY DRIVER!!! But wait, here come the Board of Directors! Jerry Lynn & Christopher Daniels reprimand everyone, but these evil eight aren’t listening!
The fans boo as Team Texas and their amigos are left laying. When all this chaos sorts out, what will the Fallen Angel have to say about the consequences?
My Thoughts:
A really good ROH but, y’know, when there’s no real commercials, a two hour show is rough to get through, and that’s even with skipping some of the matches. Granted, I can’t really say my reason was “the results were a given,” because in many cases, these title matches tonight had obvious results, too, because this is just weekly TV and not a PPV. But Harley is getting that “new to the show” push, as is Beef. I did skim and Beef got to have a real good showing tonight. That combined with his personality, he and Henry could actually go pretty far, and I really hope JD Drake is along for the ride once he’s healthy.
And of course, who was going to doubt Shibata against Daivari? It’s Shibata! Now, I did appreciate the promo Nese had with Wight to complain about people “being handed” opportunities when he is absolutely wrong about that. Johnny’s match with Mark tonight was because Johnny’s been on a pretty good win streak in ROH, and the magic number around here is six wins in a row. Johnny gets his shot, loses, but he and Mark still had a great match. And Mark VS Mortos next week is going to be great stuff, too, but I would think it’s another win for Mark. Lio VS Blake tonight was great stuff, great win for Lio, and Lio VS Nese will be great, maybe with some WWE 205 Live vibes. Both guys were in the Cruiserweight Division while it was still hot so they can definitely deliver.
Really funny promo with Maria, Griff and MXM. I knew Griff was going to screw up the fingertip thing. Griff VS Serpentico with the masks on the line was a great match, and of course Serpentico wins. On to bigger and better for SAP now. Really good promo from Leyla as she also moves on to bigger and better, maybe an ROH Women’s World TV Championship match at some point. Great promos from Athena and Billie, and to my surprise it wasn’t just Leyla going out there, but hey, Abadon’s always been a great character, and I really like where the feud is going. They also did a great job growing those seeds of dysfunction as Athena is ignoring Billie’s contributions to the group. As I felt last week, this is definitely building towards Final Battle, Athena VS Billie 2: New Champ Boogaloo.
And then a great string of matches at the end to bring us home strong. Lee VS Action was really good, because they were very smart about Action having to get used to Pure Division rules, but also let him still do fairly well within those rules. But I figured Lee would win, and now we wait on the tag match, Darius & Dante VS Shane and I would think Ogogo. And somehow, some way, Top Flight has to win that in order to motivate the Six Man Tag as a tiebreaker/blowoff. Great Television Championship match of Atlantis and Robbie, though Texas really wanted to stick it to Robbie for whatever reason. Atlantis still wins out, he might also hold onto this belt until Final Battle.
And while Mark VS Johnny as the opener was a little surprising to me, it all made sense when the ROH World Six Man Tag titles were the main event. It’s all about the Texas heroes for this Esports Stadium series, but I will commend ROH for making the finish a massive ambush by a lot of Heels. I kinda thought there was going to be one more person coming out to turn the tides, but the only person I could think of was Lance Archer given he’s from Texas. But then, why would the Murderhawk Monster care? He only just got back on AEW TV lately and needs to be a monster Heel in his own right.
So instead, it looks like several trios are coming for the ROH World Six Man belts all at once. And to be fair, I do like the idea of Cage of Agony, Dark Order, Undisputed Kingdom (Roddy joining in of course), and then Fuego joining with SAP as a Face trio in either a Fatal 4 Trios or a battle royal. OR, we just have all five teams battle it out in some wild gauntlet, last team standing are the champs. Because in the latter case, Dustin & The Von Erichs can lose without looking weak. Well, okay, I don’t want to harp too badly on Marshall & Ross, but they aren’t quite the sharpest in there, it kinda holds back these matches. The belts need to be put on another team for right now while The Von Erichs iron out the wrinkles.
My Score: 8.7/10

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.

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. Then Brody King and Daniel Garcia follow, saving TNT Champion, Adam Cole, for last!

The fans fire up behind the Most Wanted while he and Konosuke circle. They approach, Konosuke trips Bandido and things speed up. Bandido stays low, then hurdles, but Konosuke leaps over.

Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Mark Briscoe!

Will the Sussex County Chicken get a semblance of revenge on Omega’s behalf? Or will Okada make it rain in Arena Mexico?
The fans are fired up for Okada while he and Briscoe get face to face. The ref has them back away to their corners, then the bell rings. Okada and Briscoe step up again, then Briscoe shoves Okada! Okada bails out and the fans boo. Briscoe waits on Okada while commentary tells Callis he and Okada committed the most despicable thing in all of wrestling. Callis of course says it was the most shrewd tactical move in the history of wrestling. Okada takes his time returning into the ring, and then he circles with Briscoe. They tie up and are in a deadlock. They go around, Okada puts Briscoe on the ropes, but he lets off slowly.
Okada fakes the chop, and pats Briscoe on the shoulders. The fans are torn, but Briscoe kicks Okada and TOSSES him! The fans cheer as Briscoe builds speed, but Okada steps aside so Briscoe can’t dive. Briscoe gives chase, though, and they go around the outside. They slide back in, and Okada CLOBBERS Briscoe!

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
