“ROH fans and Tip Touchers all over the world, it’s ya bois, Mansoor & Mason Madden, MXM Collection. And we have great news for you. Tonight, on ROH, we will be in action and racking up another delicious victory.” They turn, then POSE! But who is that snorting and grunting? They’re being sniffed by the burly Pillars of Destiny! Mason says not to move, their vision is based on movement. Hunter Grey & Parviz still growl and take their leave, and now MXM can breath again. Mansoor was fearing for his life! Will MXM be fearing for that and then some when these two teams meet in the ring tonight?
Abadon VS Alejandra Lion!
Last week, The Fallen Goddess was put on notice that there are no more “porcelain hussies,” only this The Living Dead Girl! Will Abadon show Athena should be afraid, be very afraid after what happens to The Lion?

The Living Dead Girl has a sinister smile, and continues to climb the ranks. Will Abadon stalk Athena like the movie, It Follows, until they have their title match?

We just saw the Iron Chic and the Mahogany Hunk have a scary encounter of their own backstage, and now they must strut their stuff against Hunter Grey & “Parviz” Paul Titan in the ring! Will Mansoor & Mason still make this their Runway of Honor? Or will ROH soon belong to POD?
The fans already chant “Pose Forever,” so MXM POSE! The Code of Honor is offered in the form of fingertip touching, but POD try to BITE the tips! MXM says no, that is not honorable!

Winners: MXM Collection, by pinfall
They were afraid for their lives backstage, but they served courage, unity, nerve and tenacity! Will they continue to rise up the ranks until they are fighting for the ROH World Tag Team Championships?
Lee Moriarty speaks.
With Shane Taylor standing beside him, the ROH Pure Champion says, “What’d I say? What’d I tell you?! I said this was a new chapter in STP. I said this is a new chapter for TAIGASTYLE, Lee Moriarty. Action Andretti, you fought well, you fought hard. You even kinda impressed me. But you just ended up another victim in the Era of TAIGASTYLE. Like I said before, this is the beginning of the Pure Renaissance.” Shane says that every loss has led to this. Every letdown has led to this! Every moment of doubt has led to this right now, making this man right here, Lee Moriarty, into one of the greatest young technical pro-wrestlers on the planet!
Shane does have something he wants to tell Lee. Shane is someone that leads by example, and he is so proud of Lee. But to be the leader Shane needs to be is to get championship gold of his own. And the only reason he isn’t holding gold right now as ROH World TV Champion, is because his shoulder got messed up. Shane was knocking everyone out in that ring, but it won’t be long until he’s back. So Mark Briscoe, hang onto Shane’s title for him. Shane will be back for what is his. Rumble, Bad Man, Rumble!
Pure Rules Match: Angelico VS Aaron Solo!
Well speaking of the Pure Renaissance, and of getting title opportunities, two young stars are looking to take on TAIGASTYLE! Will the South African Stud and his llave lucha style prove himself worthy? Or will The Extra Talented Solo finally start to impress people around here?
Tonight’s judges are Jerry Lynn, Christopher Daniels and Paul Wight. Wait, did Solo really just slip Wight some money? That’s not going to work, especially if he loses… The Code of Honor is upheld, though maybe sarcastically by Solo. The bell rings, we have 15 minutes, and the fans rally up. The two circle, tie up, and Solo wrenches to a wristlock. Angelico spins, slips through, and has a cording hold! The fans cheer as Angelico wrangles Solo. Angelico then changes the angle on the armlock to use his own neck for leverage. Then Angelico swings Solo around, wrenches and wristlocks. The fans cheer, but Solo slips under and headlocks.
Solo hits the takeover, gloats, but Angelico fights up. Angelico wrenches out, then he trips Solo to have the leg, NAPALM DEATH! Solo scrambles and uses the ROPEBREAK! That is his first, but he had no chance against the Ankle Lock Calf Slicer hybrid. The two reset, the fans rally, and the two tie up. Angelico waistlocks, Solo switches, but Angelico switches. They switch some more, and Angelico trips Solo. Angelico then slips around and goes from gut wrench to drop toehold, back to NAPALM DEATH! The fans cheer, Solo scrambles forward again, and uses the ROPEBREAK! That’s his second, and we’re only two minutes in!
Solo gets frustrated, and he circles with Angelico again. Solo calls for the knuckle lock, then he kicks low! The fans boo but Solo CLUBS Angelico. Solo clinches, throws knees, then whips. Angelico reverses and sweeps the legs! Cover, ONE! Solo sweeps and covers, ONE! Both men stand but Angelico does a spin into the Bernie Lean! Solo ROCKS Angelico! That’s his closed fist warning! Solo SMACKS Angelico off buckles, then he brings Angelico up again. Solo snap suplexes, covers, TWO! Solo clamps onto Angelico with a chinlock and Angelico fights up. Angelico fires body shots, then he RAMS Solo into a corner!
Angelico then SLEEPERS! Solo flails, grabs the ROPEBREAK, and that’s his last one! But he ELBOWS Angelico as Angelico lets off! Then the DREAMCAST KICK! Cover, TWO! Angelico stays in this, Solo tells the fans to shut up, everything he does is good! Solo clamps on a chinlock and he grinds Angelico down. The fans rally and Angelico fights back up. Angelico fires body shots, then JABS! Wait, closed fist warning! Angelico winds up but Solo stops the palm strike to EXPLODER! Cover, TWO! Angelico survives and Solo is getting upset! Solo makes sure the judges take note Angelico punched him! Well, Solo punched first so…
Solo whips Angelico but Angelico blocks! Angelico is holding ropes, but the ref uses his judgment to say no ropebreak. Solo KNEES Angelico low! Solo whips, but Angelico reverses to SOBAT! Angelico whips, but Solo reverses. Angelico rolls off Solo’s back, Solo jumps the sweep but the EDDY GORDO KICK hits! We’re under 10 minutes here and Angelico trips Solo! NAVARRO DEATH ROLL!! Solo has the ropes but they won’t save him! Angelico THRASHES the hold, Solo taps! Angelico wins!
Winner: Angelico, by submission
And in just over five minutes, Angelico ends it! Solo wasted his money, but surely Angelico won’t waste his time going after the Pure Championship. Will Angelico show TAIGASTYLE he’s not the only high level hybrid around here?
The Righteous speak.
Vincent admits, it’s been awhile since he’s heard his voice on ROH. He has history here. He has seen them all come and go. They’ve been around since they had just a penny in their pocket. And now, everything has changed! You’ve got everybody over here with masks. You don’t think Vinnie knows what comes with that mask? That he doesn’t know what you’re hiding? And then there’s everyone over here, with the egos eating away at them until their flesh is off the bone. Dutch says you may think fear is but a fleeting thought. But in this selfish world, it is the only company that you have. And there ain’t nothing like a bit of fear to make a paper man crumble!
And in steps Lance Archer! “Everybody dies.” Vinnie says for everyone busting out the board to play a game o’ chess, a big race to the end, for someone to go, “King me,” life is in the cards. Hand Vinnie that deck, he’ll cut the cards and deal your life how he sees fit. For The Righteous, they’ve already reached Nirvana, man. So he has one question for everybody: “How do you start when we already know how it ends? Dig what I’m saying?”
Spanish Announce Project regroup backstage.
Serpentico tells Angelico that he got a tremendous victory tonight. Angelico says yeah, more or less. But Serpentico says Angelico should definitely go for the Pure Championship. Wait, really? Angelico goes for the title after his very first Pure Rules match? SI! Angelico says Snakeman’s crazy! But Serpentico says if Angelico does, he’ll make his teacher very proud. Think about it. Angelico vibes, and admits, it would make Navarro proud. Angelico will do it! He tells Lee Moriarty he has seen Lee’s “technical evolution.” And there’s no doubting Lee is THE best young technical wrestler in the world today.
But… Lee is not the protege of Negro Navarro. Lee is not a master of llave. Angelico is challenging Lee Moriarty for that ROH Pure Championship match! It will be a technical spectacle for the whole world to enjoy. All Lee has to do is accept. Angelico goes back to vibing, but will he soon be thriving here in ROH?
Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker VS Jacoby Watts & Nick Comoroto!
Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange are back! And if there’s two things these two know about, it’s tag team wrestling, and getting out of the shadow of a “mentor” who’s only in it for himself. Will Menard & Parker help Comoroto see Watts for the false prophet he is? Or does Watts have the Freak Beast too deeply under his spell?
The bell rings, but before things get started, Watts has the mic to ask Menard & Parker to meet him in the center of the ring. Menard & Parker oblige, and Watts says this is Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange, and then Comoroto and Watts. That’s 4Point0 to him! That’s an A grade in any school he’s ever been to. All they have to do is live by one simple creed: “Praise be to He, and He is Me.” But 2Point0 SMACK the mic and Watts down! The fans cheer, Comoroto runs up, but 2Point0 DUMP him out! Watts runs up, but into a DOUBLE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans cheer more, but Comoroto returns!
Menard & Parker dodge to double kick, double wrench, and double RAM! Comoroto’s a big man, though, so they RAM him again! Still nothing going, and then Comoroto RAMS 2Point0 down! The fans boo but Comoroto digs his boots into Parker at the corner. The ref counts, Comoroto lets off, and he fires body shots on Parker! Then he UPPERCUTS and Parker falls over. The fans rally for Parker but Comoroto whips him hard into a corner! Comoroto applauds but fans boo. Comoroto brings Parker up and around to scoop and SLAM! Then BIG elbow drop! Cover, TWO! Parker survives but Comoroto drags him up
Comoroto CHOKES Parker on ropes, and Watts starts scolding him! The ref reprimands Comoroto, Parker pie faces Watts! Parker elbows Comoroto but Comoroto still has the waistlock! Parker still reaches for Menard, but Comoroto short arm LARIATS Parker! Comoroto gorilla presses Parker, lifts him again and again, “PRAISE! BE! TO!” Parker slips free and SHOVES Comoroto into Watts! Down goes Watts, hot tag to Menard! The fans fire up as Menard fires forearms on Comoroto! Menard whips, Comoroto reverses then runs in, but Menard dodges! Menard fires more shots, then climbs up! The fans count along, and Menard goes all the way to TEN!
Menard hops down, Parker LARIATS Watts back out! Parker ROCKS Comoroto, Menard drop toeholds, BOOYAH ELBOW DROP! The fans fire up, and 2Point0 DOUBLE DDT! Cover, 2Point0 wins!
Winners: Matthew Menard & Angelo Parker, by pinfall
They’re back in black, back on track, and having a hell of a hair day! Will Menard & Parker finally get themselves some gold here in ROH? Will Comoroto ever wake up and see through Watts?
Tony Nese w/ Mark Sterling VS Lio Rush!
Well as always, “Smart” Mark has to stop the ring announcer so he can talk. Sterling says this is Tony Nese, and everyone is wondering why The Premier Athletes are on every show of every day of every week! That’s because The Premier Athletes equal ratings! Sterling has been told that every Honor Club episode that Nese is on is the highest rated episode of all time! That is because Nese walks like a star, talks like a star, wrestles like a star, and wins like a star! And tonight, Nese shows his opponent what winning is, which is something Texas knows nothing about! Sterling rests his case, but is The Bad Child about to make him eat those words?
The Code of Honor is upheld, but then Nese sucker punches Lio at the bell! Nese fires off forearms, has Lio in a corner, but lets off to shout, “That’s why I’m a Premier Athlete!” Nese TOSSES Lio out, argues with the ref, but Sterling stomps away on Lio!

ROH World Championship: Mark Briscoe VS The Beast Mortos!
Speaking of title opportunities, The Sussex County Chicken admitted to the fact this menacing minotaur more than earned his shot at this title. Between his nearly spotless record since signing with AEW & ROHÂ and pinning the champ during a Six Man Tag, Mortos is a logical choice for a challenger! But will Mortos be able to #ManUp and tear down Mark Briscoe’s legacy? Or will nothing stop the fighting spirit of #DemBoys?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly the top dog between Chicken and Beast!
The Code of Honor is upheld, though with tension. The bell rings and Mortos runs up to SHOTGUN Mark! Mark gets up in a corner, dodges Mortos, and Mortos tumbles up and out! Mark WRECKS Mortos with the dropkick! Mark then says BANG BANG, FOLEY ELBOW! The fans fire up, Mark brings Mortos up and into the ring, then takes aim. Mortos rises, Mark runs up to kick and reel him in! Underhooks, but Mortos wrenches out! Mortos slips around, shoves Mark to a corner and UPPERCUTS! LARIATS! GAMANGIRI! Mortos reels Mark in for a SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Mortos roars but fans are torn.
Mortos stomps Mark in a corner, the ref counts, and Mortos lets off. Mark sputters on the ropes, but Mortos hooks Mark’s arms around ropes! Mortos has the inverted motorcycle stretch, but he lets off as the ref counts. Mortos then drags Mark up and winds up, to ROCK Mark with a right!

Mark clinches, but Mortos suplexes again! Mark slips free again, shoves, and then hits the crane stance! To SLAP Mortos!
The fans fire up, Mrotos swings, but Mark dodges to CHOP, CHOP and CHOP! Mark whips, Mortos reverses but Mark FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up again and Mark storms up on Mortos. CAMEL CLUTCH, and then Mark CLAWS Mortos’ eyes! The ref counts, Mark lets off, and he drags Mortos up. Mark ROCKS Mortos, CHOPS again, then ROCKS him again. Mark RAMS Mortos into a corner, RAMS him again, then CHOPS! The fans “WOO~!” and Mark shakes out his hand from hitting that hard. Mark brings Mortos around, RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Cover, TWO! The fans rally and Mark is feeling it!
Mark brings Mortos up to fireman’s carry! But Mortos fires elbows! Mortos shoves Mark, then follows, rolls off Mark’s back and SOBATS! KNEES! ELBOWS! Snapmare and NECK TWIST! Mark writhes, rises, but Mortos HEADBUTTS him down! The fans are torn but Mortos covers, TWO! Mark survives but Mortos clamps on with a SLEEPER! Mark endures, the fans rally, and Mark rises up. Mortos knees low, then he ROCKS Mark! Mark flops into a corner and Mortos roars! Mortos drags Mark up, fireman’s carries, and he WASTELAND SLAMS Mark into a drop zone! Mortos then heads up, the fans dueling!
Mortos reaches the top, but Mark rises to CHOP Mortos! Mark climbs up, but Mortos HEADBUTTS him back down! Mark just rises again to UPPERCUT! The fans fire up as Mark climbs, but Mortos fires haymakers! A throat chop sends Mark back down, but now Mark’s mad! Mark stands to ROCK Mortos! Mark climbs up after Mortos, fires more hands, but Mortos grabs the wrists to HEADBUTT!! Mark falls, but rises again!? REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUT! Mortos tumbles down, Mark builds speed, CANNONBALL DIVE! Direct hit and the fans fire up! Mark tosses a chair into the ring, and he sets that up at the ropes!
The fans fire up as Mark builds speed! The Chicken FLIES onto Mortos, and lands on his feet!! The fans are fired up again, and Mark goes to the apron. The fans rally as Mark goes up the corner, to WHISPER IN THE WIND! Down goes Mortos and Mark puts him in the ring! The fans rally for “DEM BOYS!” as Mark gets moving, and he LARIATS Mortos down! Cover, TWO! Mortos survives and Mark has a wild look in his eyes! Mortos rises, Mark winds up, and he kicks low! Mark underhooks, but Mortos powers up and out! Mark flounders, Mortos runs up to whip! POP-UP SAMOAN DROP!! Cover, TWO!!

But Mortos RAMS Mark into buckles! Mortos runs, into an ELBOW! Mark then BOOTS, runs up, but into the scoop! Torture rack and BACKBREAKER!! Cover, TWO!!! Mortos cannot believe it but Mark survives!

Mortos shoves Mark, then HEADBUTTS him!
Mark rebounds to LARIAT! Mark hurries to underhook, JAY DRILLER!! Cover, Mark wins!!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall (still ROH World Champion)
Mortos earned this match, he gave an incredible fight, but Mark Briscoe does it from #DemBoys! If not even Mortos can stop Mark, will nothing stop the Briscoe legacy?
My Thoughts:
A great ROH, even with it clocking in at just over two hours. I probably could’ve skipped Abadon VS Lion but I thought we’d get something from Athena & Billie tonight. But I knew Adora, Komander, Nduka, The Iron Savages and Shafir would all win their matches, as their opponents weren’t advertised. But Nduka is doing good for just his second match on ROH, and he clearly has all the physical attributes to be a top guy within the next few years. And I do like that The Iron Savages have a new team finisher where Bronson and Jameson help Boulder fly in for a diving splash. That’ll be less wear and tear on his legs trying to carry Bronson, and can certainly be made to look more devastating.
Great opening match with the 8 Man Tag, and great win for Team Texas. Not sure how long they’ll keep this going, but at least they can say they did the whole Esports Stadium series. Very good Six Man Tag, and I figured Cage of Agony would win with Serpentico in there at the end. That win for Cage of Agony could help them get in on the ROH World Six Man title story, or even the ROH World Tag Team title story, having matches with Team Texas that put pressure on the relationship of Dustin and Sammy. At the same time, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was tension over who challenges for the ROH World Television Championship, with Cage being a frontrunner since his team beat Atlantis’ team tonight.
Really funny promo from MXM with POD, and a very good tag match between them. Naturally, MXM won, they’re still on that hot streak in ROH. And great return tag match for Menard & Parker. I do appreciate Watts trying to expand the faction, but obviously Menard & Parker are done following a delusional Heel leader. 2Point0 gets the win to get back in the tag title conversation themselves. Great promo from Shane Taylor Promotions to call out not just Mark Briscoe and the world title, but basically anyone that wants to try the Pure Division. Very good match from Angelico VS Solo, very good win from Angelico, but him going after Lee is clearly just giving Lee a solid first defense to have under his belt.
Very good promo from The Righteous, but much like The Dark Order, their return to AEW TV was short lived, and they’re right back on ROH trying to get going again. I’m sure they’ll also be in the running for the ROH World Six Man titles, and if just for Archer’s sake alone, I hope they’re the ones that dethrone Dustin & The Von Erichs, we already saw Cage of Agony have these belts for a long time, and no other team really feels they’re on that level right now. Great match for Lio and Nese, and I figured Lio would win just to make Nese and Sterling look like dummies.
Lio is already part of Collision’s London Ladders Wild Card Qualifier, there’s a 50-50 chance he and Top Flight win, even though they’re against Claudio, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, and that’s because so far, there are no real high flyers in that match. Not Patriarchy, not Bang Bang Gang and not House of Black, so you gotta put in a team of pretty much all high flying types to make up for that. And then, great promo from Mark Briscoe as always, and a great main event with Mortos. I figured Mark Briscoe was going to win, but Mortos looks great again, even in defeat. Shane Taylor clearly wants next, maybe we head for that match up and do it big on ROH TV. I only say that because Final Battle is way too far way to stretch this story.
My Score: 8.7/10

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!

14 Man Tag: Hechicero, Volador Jr, Dax Harwood & The Don Callis Family VS Adam Cole, Brody King, Daniel Garcia, Bandido, Templario, Atlantis Sr. & Atlantis Jr!
Well, they always say, “Card subject to change.” Cash Wheeler is not able to make it, but Lance Archer and “The Predator,” Volador Jr, take his place! Then on the other side, the OG Atlantis jumps in! Will things only end up crazier to start off Grand Slam?
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.

Then Brody King and Daniel Garcia follow, saving TNT Champion, Adam Cole, for last! The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” These massive teams sort out, and Bandido steps up against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita. 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!
The Rainmaker has a Winner Takes All match with long-time rival, Kenny Omega, but he crossed a line! Not only has Okada joined Don Callis just to stick it to The Cleaner, but Okada hospitalized Omega with a brutal attack to the stomach! 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! The fans are torn as Okada CLUBS away. Okada fires forearms, storms up to stomp Briscoe in the corner, and then ELBOWS him! The fans are torn but Okada brings Briscoe around for a BIG back suplex.

Briscoe bumps Okada off buckles, stomps a mudhole, then stops as the ref counts 4. Briscoe then grinds his forearm into Okada’s face! The ref counts again, Briscoe stops at 4, and he whips corner to corner. Okada reverses but Briscoe goes up and out.
Okada runs up but Briscoe blocks a shot to ROCK Okada! Briscoe then RAMS into Okada, throws him out of the ring, and then DIVES! Direct hit and the fans fire up!

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
