The Natural and The Best Ever tough it out and they win out against The Dark Order! Will they and The Von Erichs now move on from The Dark Order? What will their next goal in ROH be?
Athena talks with Billie Starkz backstage.
The Fallen Goddess tells her Minion that she’s called this private meeting because, well, they gotta address the elephant in the room. Billie says fine, just let her have it then. Athena says no, she is tired of being angry. She is getting used to disappointment, and that is more frustrating than anything else. Athena sits atop the ROH mountain, with Lexy Nair beside her, and Athena wants Billie to be up there with them. Billie says she wants that, too! Athena says if that were true, then Billie wouldn’t have lost Athena’s ROH Women’s World Television Championship. Billie messed up. They’re supposed to be doing this together!
So it pains Athena to have to do this, but… They are revoking Billie’s MIT Diploma. She is back to just being Minion 400,237 & three-quarters. It hurts Athena far more than it hurts Billie. Billie is back to being a Minion In Training. But Boss- NO! Do not raise your voice to Athena. Athena is The Forever Champion, and Billie is supposed to be holding the Women’s TV title with her. But she’s not! This is Athena’s show, these are her rules. But then Red Velvet & Queen Aminata step in to say that actually, this is their show. How’d they get in? The door was closed. Well, at Death Before Dishonor, Velvet won fair and square.
So what they’re not gonna do is gloss over how Athena won her match. She used her minion and even Lexy to cheat Aminata out of the title. And that is not happening anymore. That is why THE Queen has spoken to the Board of Directors. Athena & Billie are no longer dodging and ducking them. Tonight, Billie & Athena will be in the ring with them for a match! Seriously?! Velvet sarcastically wishes them luck, and Athena says if Billie hadn’t lost her match, this wouldn’t be happening. Billie is taking abuse from all sides, but will this match help her vent some of that frustration?
Taya Valkyrie w/ Johnny TV VS HYAN!
The first of this Mr. & Mrs. TV Double Feature is here, and La Wera Loca leads off! Will Taya use this to prove she IS The Main Character? Or will she be upstaged by “The Renaissance Woman” of Texas?
The Code of Honor is upheld reluctantly, and the bell rings. Taya doesn’t take Hyan seriously, because this is “embarrassing” that this is the best Texas has. But Hyan ROCKS Taya with a forearm! Taya goes to ropes for defense, the ref has Hyan stay back, and Johnny coaches Taya. Hyan runs up, Taya BOOTS her, then trips her! Hyan goes to a corner, Taya ELBOWS and LARIATS in the corner! Taya sits Hyan down, goes corner to corner, METEORA! The fans are torn as Taya stomps a mudhole in. Taya lets off to then storm up on Hyan to fire off forearms. Taya CHOPS Hyan and the fans ‘WOO~!”
Hyan fires back but Taya ROCKS her again and again. Taya snapmares then KICKS Hyan, to then run and SLIDING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Hyan is tougher than that but Taya clamps onto her for HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Taya clamps onto the arms for a motorcycle stretch! The fans rally, Hyan fights up, and Hyan body blows! And again! Hyan whips, ELBOWS Taya, then snapamres and rolls to then KNEE, KNEE SMASH, and LARIAT! The fans fire up with Hyan, but Taya BOOTS! And mule kicks! And KNEES! Taya runs to SPEAR! Taya hooks up the legs, HAMMERS Hyan more, and then plays some SHANIA PAIN!! Cover, Taya wins!

Taya smiles as she celebrates with Johnny, she did her part tonight. Will Johnny make this double feature a blockbuster later on? Or will he get burned by the Fire of the Sun?
Backstage interview with Griff Garrison & Maria Kanellis-Bennett.
While the First Lady of Wrestling still holds onto the stolen Serpentico mask, Melissa Santos mentions the Ivy League MVP’s incredible run with tag partner, Cole Karter. But that begs the question, what happened to Cole? When do we expect a return? But first, in steps Spanish Announce Project! Serpentico speaks with Melissa in Spanish about the problems SAP has been having with Maria’s baby boys, namely that stolen mask! Maria asks for English, so Angelico says they want ONE MORE MATCH, with the mask as the prize!
Maria isn’t so sure, she wanted to make it into a purse or a handbag, match her outfit with it. Griff says that would make a nice accessory. But Maria thinks about it, whispers something to Griff, and he nods. They’ll take the match, on one condition. Since Griff doesn’t have a tag partner, he’ll take Serpentico on 1v1, with Angelico banned from ringside! SAP talks it over, but wait, Maria has one more condition. When Serpentico loses, Serpentico must UNMASK, “for the rest of your sad, sad career.” A modified Mask VS Mask match? Does Serpentico accept? SI!! VAMOS!! #SNAKEMAN is risking it all, but will he get back what was taken from him?
ROH World Tag Team Championships: The Kingdom VS The Infantry!
Matt Taven & Mike Bennett have held onto these belts through quite a few contenders, though not exactly fair and square. And knowing that, Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo say they can get it done and done right! Will The Captain & #BadNewsAndTattoos pull off the uncanny upset? Or will The Kingdom show The Infantry’s chances are just as fictional as The X-Men?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see if this last shot is all it’ll take to take these titles!

Shane Taylor Promotions speaks.
Standing alongside the NEW ROH Pure Champion, Lee Moriarty, Shane Taylor himself is smiling ear to ear. But Lee wants to say that this thing between STP and Top Flight, it has been going on a little too long. Lee is sick of seeing their faces, and is sick of playing games. Shane agrees with all of that. Lee suggests they raise the stakes. Next time Lee and Action Andretti step into the ring together, they’ll make it for the ROH Pure Championship! Shane says all caps, no spaces, he likes the sound of that. And he will explain why he doesn’t like Action, Dante nor Darius.
Shane says they belong to a culture, STP belongs to a culture, that Top Flight could never understand. When Action first got here, he beat Chris Jericho! One of the greatest of all time! And yet, what has Action done since then? NOTHING. Top Flight, one of the greatest tag teams AEW has, and what have they done with that talent? NOTHING! Top Flight plays around while STP does this to survive and to provide for their families. Top Flight should want to be the best! And when you get in the ring with the NEW Pure Champion, Action will have to bring his best. But like Lee says, time to watch your step and protect ya necks. Rumble, Pure Champ, Rumble.
Big Bad Shaney T. Boy and #TAIGASTYLE have put Top Flight, and the rest of the roster, on notice. Will the Sight to See soon see what they mean?
Tomohiro Ishii VS Tony Nese w/ The Premier Athletes!
The Stone Pitbull missed out on Dynamite but he’s back here in Esports Stadium to get back in action. But as The Premier Athletes make their entrance, “Smart” Mark Sterling has the mic to tell Bobby Cruise to pipe down so Sterling can speak. Everybody knows these are THE Premier Athletes, and that this is Tony Nese. recently, in this very building, the fans witnessed a travesty when The Conglomeration cheated the Premier Athletes. But Sterling has three pieces of good news for everyone today.
One: Sterling is working with the Texas Athletic Commission to have that match thrown out, keeping his team undefeated in 2024! Yeah, that’s not happening… Two: Sterling has worked very hard to keep the entire Conglomeration barred from ringside while Nese takes on their “worst offender,” keeping this match 1v1 with no shenanigans! Let’s see how long that lasts. And finally, and most importantly: The fans once again witness what it looks like when a REAL premier athlete goes to work! The fans don’t care, but here comes Ishii! Will Ishii not need any backup to take down Nese?
Ishii ignores the Code of Honor, and the bell rings. Nese gets in Ishii’s face while he flexes, then CHOPS! Ishii isn’t bothered at all! Nese CHOPS again, and Ishii eggs him on!

Ishii ROCKS Nese, then hits the SAIDO! Cover, TWO! Nese survives but Ishii rises back up.
The fans rally as Ishii drags Nese up and reels him in. But Nese fights the lift! Nese wrenches out, slips around, and waistlocks, only for Ishii to buck the O’Conner! LARIAT!! Cover, TWO!! Nese survives being turned inside out, so Ishii roars! Ishii reels Nese in, but Sterling distracts! Ishii storms up on Sterling, and Sterling apologizes. Ishii TOSSES Sterling into the ring!

None of Sterling’s “good news” turned out to be true! Nese falls, even with the help from his team, and the Stone Pitbull stands tall. Will Ishii and The Conglomeration all rise up in the ranks to go for some gold?
Backstage interview with Rachael Ellering.
Melissa is with the Queen of Strong Smile, and says she got a spectacular win in her return. How does it feel to shine again? Rachael says that is so sweet of Melissa to say. But yes, it is so hard to sit at home and watch the thing you love to do and aren’t able to do it. But over that time, you do get to step back, reflect, and get better. She feels she has done both of those things. She got to be “Rachael Rampage” one night, then got to wear some flannel on Collision, and loved it all. And here she is, back in a place that feels like home. But Rachael isn’t here to just survive, she is here to thrive! She is a mom of three cats, but she’s got that dog in her!
Rachael barks, but then in comes Harley Cameron, yipping along. Harley loves barking. And sorry for interrupting. Proper introductions, and Harley double checks, this is ROH, right? Because for a second, she thought was a kid’s birthday party or something. But Rachael’s whole “tomboy” thing, kudos to her, very daring. But if she may just make a suggestion… All of it. Change all of it. You’re welcome. Anyway, lovely meeting you, Rachael. Harley leaves, and Rachael says that was an experience. But will Rachael make sure the Outcast feels “welcomed” here in ROH?

We saw Mrs. TV have a successful win, doing her part for the “double feature.” But now it is time for Mr. TV to show he is TV Ready! Will Johnny shine in the spotlight? Or will he burn in the Fire of the Sun?

Athena & Billie Starkz VS Queen Aminata & Red Velvet!
The saying goes, “When it rains, it pours.” The Fallen Goddess has demoted her sidekick back into a minion, and now they both must face the women they fought at Death Before Dishonor. Could this be Billie’s path to redemption? Or will that honor belong to the One and Only African Queen?
Well, well, well, none other than “Bestie” Lexy Nair is the ring announcer. Will she be a deciding factor like she was at DBD? The teams sort out, Athena starts against Aminata, and Athena is saying this is light work. The Code of Honor is skipped, and then Athena turns around to actually see who it is.

My Thoughts:
A very good ROH, and another long episode at an hour and 45 minutes. I still skipped stuff obviously, but Rachael VS Brooke was pretty good for what I thought would be a squash match. And interesting to see Harley Cameron here without Saraya. Not sure if that’s a sign of anything, but it is interesting to have Harley sort of step into the role Maria Kanellis was going to play against Rachael. As I recall, it was Maria saying “women’s wrestling doesn’t draw,” in the context that Rachael wasn’t WWE Diva Era enough to get anyone’s attention. But while Maria is busy managing Griff, Harley is going to be the girly girl getting on Rachael’s case.
Speaking of Maria, I don’t know why they waited until now, with Cole Karter out with injury, to have the blowoff match for the mask. Well, maybe it’s because Cole is hurt and Griff is out of the tag division for now. But they really should’ve done this sooner. I would hope Serpentico wins to get his stolen mask back and stay a masked luchador, I don’t think the world is ready to accept that Serpentico really has been Jon Cruz this entire time. And good promo from Shane Taylor Promotions to call out Top Flight for more stuff. I am very certain Lee beats Action to have his first ROH Pure Championship defense in the books. Not sure where the tag/trios match goes, though.
Great opening tag match, Sammy still got a mixed reaction but there are plenty of fans willing to give Face Sammy a chance. As such, Sammy & Dustin win out, and I could see the faction of Sammy, Dustin & The Von Erichs making a push to be golden, pull that Four Horsemen type deal with matches for the singles titles as well as tag titles. But there is always going to be the potential of Sammy getting selfish and turning Heel again when things don’t work out, even if that is exactly what they’ve done with MJF.
Good “double feature” from Taya & Johnny, though I kinda wish they’d just put them back to back. But whatever, Taya wanted to be out of her gear for Johnny’s match. Mr. & Mrs. TV both win, Fuego’s comeback already has a loss, but maybe Fuego comes back for more. Also, what happened to Aaron Solo wanting to impress Johnny and join the team? Oh well. Great match from Ishii and Nese, with Ishii of course winning out despite the disadvantage. Just not sure Ishii grabs up any ROH title during his tenure. He might put over Atlantis Jr. or something, but Ishii always gives solid matches so it’s fine.
I was rather surprised the ROH Tag Team Championship match wasn’t tonight’s main event, but it was still a great match, and I figured The Kingdom would retain since this is just weekly TV. But they gave us a great tag match from Athena & Billie VS Aminata & Velvet as a surprise, not advertised, very clever booking from them, that’s a lot like what the big leagues (aka WWE and AEW) give us. And with Billie back on Athena’s bad side, I can feel them building towards a rematch of Final Battle 2023. They could schedule this to culminate at Final Battle 2024 to be a one year later full circle deal, and that would be an awesome way for Billie to win the top title and have Athena move on to AEW.
My Score: 8.6/10

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.

Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Mark Briscoe!

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 ref counts again, Briscoe stops at 4, and he whips corner to corner. Okada reverses but Briscoe goes up and out.

Briscoe fires forearms, then whips. Okada reverses but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up again and both men rise up. Briscoe winds up to LARIAT in the corner! Briscoe brings Okada out to a FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!
The fans fire up as Okada stays in this! Briscoe clutches his neck but he brings Okada back up. Okada fights the clinch, the fans duel, and Okada puts Briscoe on ropes. Okada whips, Briscoe FLIPS through the backdrop! The fans fire up and Okada thinks it is for him. But he turns around into a REDNECK UPPERCUT! Briscoe runs in at the corner, but Okada pops him up to the Alabama Lift! REVERSE NECKBREAKER! The fans fire up again and Okada scoops to SLAM! Standard formula, Okada goes up the corner!

The fans boo as Okada aims with the belt! BELT SHOTÂ 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!

Matt cravats Joe and Nick helps with the SLICED BREAD! BASEMENT SUPERKICK! But Ospreay springboards in! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for Ospreay! Then they have the wrists, E V P- NO, Ospreay kips up, gets loose, and DOUBLE OSCUTTERS!! Swerve joins in, FOSBURY FLOP onto the Bucks! The fans are thunderous, Nana does his dance, and Ospreay turns around into a BUSAIKU KNEE from Yuta! Shibata gets Yuta in a SLEEPER! Yuta snapmares free and ROCKS Shibata!
“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
