The Righteous speak.
Good Ol’ Dutch says, “Promises. They’re just like stained glass: beautiful, until shattered. And when it comes to The Righteous, we can’t even count the number of scars we have on our bodies from crawling and reaching through, just to break through without getting cut.” Vincent says, “Scars. Let’s talk about scars, man. We all have that one scar that reminds us of the one thing, and the scar that stands out the most to us are the ROH World Tag Team Championships. Because it should’ve happened a long time ago. We know it, and everybody else knows it. But now… Sammy, Dustin… Dustin, what I see is a man enjoying the rest of his career.
“And on the other side, Sammy’s over here, let’s face it, just getting started. He’s got the beautiful family, and what does a man with a beautiful family do? He’s selfish. Selfish for himself and his family. And Dustin, as far as I can tell, you’re not family. There’s a lot of snakes slithering through in this industry. Except here, they don’t pick long enough grass to hide in. So I can see them all slithering through my toes, I can feel them. And Dustin, you, my friend, are holding a venomous snake on your side. The question to you is, what happens when a venomous snake bites you?” Dutch says, “The Righteous become ROH World Tag Team Champions!”
The Righteous laugh, and Vinnie asks if you dig what he’s saying. Are they right? Is Sammy just a snake?
JD Drake & BEEF VS Preston Vance & “Pretty” Peter Avalon!
While Anthony Henry is out, the other Workhorseman made a return to support Henry’s second cousin by marriage.

ROH shares The Learning Tree’s message from Fright Night Dynamite.
Chris Jericho smiles while Bryan Keith scowls and “Big Bill” Morrissey speaks. “As The Learning Tree always says, ‘Teamwork makes the dream work. But the dream will not work unless the team works together.’” Jericho waves and says, “Hi, guys~! And welcome to All Hallows’ Eve. That means The Night Before Halloween. Hahaha.” And last week in Ladder War, the match that The Wrestling Observer said would be remembered for a long, long time, a ladder match that THE Dave Meltzer gave four stars to, Jericho became the ROH World Champion a second team. Just like Jay Briscoe!
And that also makes Jericho a nine-time world champion, fulfilling the prophecy of him becoming The Nueve. Now, Jericho could not have done this without The Bad Apple, The Redwood, and all of his Branches watching at home, and here in Cinc- Er, Cleveland. But this is so much more than about winning the title. Jericho thinks big picture. Just like how Terrifier 3, the movie he costarred in and quarterbacked, became the number one movie in America… Just like AEW itself becoming a pro-wrestling powerhouse, with all due respect to Jon Moxley but mostly because of Jericho, Jericho will do the same for ROH.
Jericho will take ROH to the biggest stage and the biggest success it has ever seen. How will he do that? Because he is Chris Jericho and he just can. And if you are underestimating Chris Jericho, then you are overestimating your knowledge and understanding of the TV and pro-wrestling business. Keith says, “NEVER underestimate Chris Jericho, you bunch o’ dumbasses!” Jericho says what he will do is let everyone reach down between their legs, ease their seats back, and enjoy the ride. Jericho is taking ROH and all of us to places you’ve never, ever been before. Thanks, guys~! The fans are torn, but will this new era of “Ring of Jericho” really be the biggest and brightest yet?
MXM Collection speaks.
“Chaos. Control. Smooth. Coarse. Nimble. Lethargic. Coming. Going. Opposites attract. With disparity comes tension. And with tension comes release. All this and more can be yours with the MXM Collection Fall Line. Now available at Show AEW.”
Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara speak.
The Spanish God tells The Righteous that they saw the little speech, and The Righteous were both right and wrong about Sammy. He has an absolutely beautiful family, a beautiful baby girl at home, and there is nothing he won’t do to provide for them. He is selfish when it comes to providing for them, and these tag titles mean more money, so The Righteous is trying to take food off Sammy’s plate. So imagine what he’ll do to you! But you are so wrong when you say Dustin is not family. There is nothing Sammy won’t do for Dustin. All In London, Sammy had Dustin’s back. Bunkhouse Brawl, Sammy had Dustin’s back.
And Sammy will have Dustin’s back when it comes to beating the hell outta The Righteous. The Natural tells Vincent & Dutch that Sammy is a lot nicer than Dustin. One: Keep any family’s name out of your mouths, it is no good. And you wanna call yourselves The Righteous? Are you morally righteous? No, absolutely not! And talking about snakes, Dustin is from Austin, Texas! They eat rattlesnakes for a living! And Dustin’s been bit by a snake before. What do you do with a bad snake? You chop the head off! So if The Righteous want a shot at the ROH World Tag Team Championships, they’ve got it.
But listen up. Dustin knows The Righteous also have a match tonight. So Dustin & Sammy will be paying very close attention to it. Because The Righteous are the snakes trying to do something Dustin has done his entire career, and that’s mind games. You ain’t got it! Dustin sees through the crap, so see you tonight. Challenge accepted, but will ol’ Dutch & Vincent show what kind of fight The Sons of Texas are in for?
Pure Rules: Matt Taven VS Aaron Solo!
One of the ONLY Grand Slam Champions in ROH history is looking to add on to his legacy, because he’s never held the Pure Championship. Will we be reminded that HEEEEE’S Matt Taven? Or will The Extra Talented prove himself worthy of his first title opportunity?
The Code of Honor is not upheld by Solo, but Taven says he didn’t want it anyway. The bell rings, we’re on the clock, and the two circle. The two tie up, Taven wrenches an arm, and wristlocks. Solo slips through, wrenches, and headlocks. Solo calls Taven a Melvin, but Taven wrenches out to a hammerlock. Solo goes to the ROPEBREAK, and the ref counts it. But Solo gets a cheap shot in! The fans boo but Solo grins as the worst that happens is Solo is down a ropebreak. Solo stomps Taven in a corner, whips him corner to corner, but Taven goes up and over. Taven keeps moving, he slides under to then DROPKICK!
The fans cheer, and Taven reminds Solo, “IIIII’M Matt Taven!” Solo storms up, Taven and Solo circle again. They feel things out, and Taven waistlocks. Taven powers Solo to ropes but Solo bucks the O’Conner. Solo runs up, but Taven arm-drags! Taven has the armlock, wrangles Solo around, shift to a ghost pin, TWO! Solo escapes but Taven is right back on him. Taven wrenches, wristlocks, but he ducks Solo’s haymaker to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! We’re at two minutes as the fans rally up. Taven runs, goes up, but Solo CHOP BLOCKS Taven in ropes! The fans boo while Taven flounders, but Solo rains down forearms!
Solo says, “IIIII’M Aaron Solo!” Fans boo but Solo stomps Taven around. Solo sits Taven up to KNEE him in the back. Solo flexes, stalks Taven to a corner, and KICKS! And stomps, stomps, stomps! Solo digs his boot in, but lets off as the ref counts. The fans boo Solo but he soaks it up. But Taven kicks low! And CHOPS! But Solo KICKS the bad leg! Solo continues to taunt Taven and mock his catchphrase. Solo drops a knee on the knee, then brings Taven up. Solo whips Taven into a corner, but Taven ELBOWS back! Solo comes back, but Taven BOOTS him! Taven runs up, Solo dodges, and mule kicks!
Solo whips, Taven LARIATS! And ELBOWS! And HEEL KICKS! The fans fire up but Taven hobbles. Solo swings, Taven ducks to kick, KICK and DDT! The fans fire up more and Taven springboards, KICK O’ THE KING! Cover, TWO! Taven clamps on JUST FACELOCK! Solo flails, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! That’s the second and the fans boo. Taven argues, but he drags Solo up. CLI- NO, Solo powers out! But Taven avoids the Dreamcast to step over, THE CLIMAX! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! Solo survives using his third and final, and we’re at five minutes! Taven is frustrated, but that was just a miscalculation.
Taven storms up, but Solo YANKS him into ropes! DREAMCAST KICK! Cover, TWO!! Taven doesn’t even use the ropes, despite how close they were. Solo is frustrated but he climbs a corner. Solo aims, leaps, but Taven catches him! Taven wrangles Solo into the FLATLINER, and JUST FACELOCK! Solo TAPS, Taven wins!
Winner: Matt Taven, by submission
In just under six minutes, and with no ropebreaks used, Taven gets his first Pure Division win! And then the Pure Champion, Lee Moriarty, appears on stage. He tells Taven if this is what he’s after, that’s a mistake. Taven tells Moriarty he has one belt left before ROH Bingo. Moriarty doesn’t take that seriously, will #TAIGASTYLE humble the ROH Grand Slam Champion?
Backstage interview with JD Drake & BEEF.
Lexy Nair is with The Workhorseman and his teammate’s second cousin by marriage, and Lexy loves the instant chemistry! They may have only just met, but it was like they’ve been teaming for years. JD wants to refute that but Beef says the chemistry is real because they’re family! JD shouts at Beef, and is very frazzled as he asks Beef what he’s even doing. Has Beef lost his mind? Lexy is holding an interview, and Beef’s all on JD, grabbing him. And Beef is the wettest, sweatiest human on earth, Henry was right about that. JD wants Beef to realize, they’re not family. What? But JD, you’re the tag partner to Beef’s second cousin. Seems that’s enough for Beef.
And speaking of, Beef tells Henry that they’re thinking of him, that they love him, and that they want him to get back here, so they hope he gets well soon. JD says it is second cousin by marriage, Henry has said that much. But while JD doesn’t even know where Beef is from, but that’s not how cousins work anyway! That’s not how family works! That’s not how relations work! JD is not on Beef’s family tree or vice versa! But they could be… JD says it’s fine, he still likes Beef, he is okay. A little rambunctious, but otherwise okay. So listen, Beef. Beef will be alright, but please, tone it down just a little bit.
Beef already revs up as he says he can’t tone it down. He just can’t, JD! Cuz he’s BEEF! There’s nobody like him! Except maybe Cousin JD. JD is NOT Beef’s cousin! JD asks what Anthony got him into. JD heads out, Beef hurries after his “cousin,” will the Workhorsemen ever get used to Beef?
The Righteous VS Jay Marston & Solomon Tupu!
The challenge was issued and the challenge was accepted, so this match goes from Dutch & Vincent proving themselves worthy to them tuning up. Will these wolves in sheep’s clothing make quick work of these appetizers before going for the main course?
The teams sort out, and Vinnie snaps his fingers while pacing around. Vinnie then spins around to LARIAT Marston! So much for the Code of Honor… Vincent then puts Marston in the corner, tags Dutch, and Dutch sends Marston into a KNEE! Short arm LARIAT! Dutch holds on to sit Marston up, and Vinnie BASEMENT FLATLINERS! Dutch tells Cedar Rapids that death walks tonight. Tag to Vinnie, The Righteous surround Marston, but here comes Tupu! Tupu LARIATS Dutch, but Dutch doesn’t budge! Tupu can’t quite understand, so he runs again. Dutch hits a BIG BOSS MAN SLAM! Then Vinnie hoists Marston up.
Vinnie fireman’s carries Marston, Dutch fireman’s carries Vinnie, DOUBLE DEATH VALLEY! Cover, The Righteous win!
Winners: The Righteous, by pinfall
Sammy & Dustin said they would be watching this very closely, so hopefully they learned something. Wait, The Righteous aren’t done! Vinnie grabs a chair, and Dutch brings the railroad block! Dutch puts the block between Tupu’s legs and holds them all together! Vinnie CHAIR SHOTS Tupu’s legs! Tupu writhes in misery, but here come Dustin & Sammy! The Sons of Texas run out but The Righteous run away! Will Dutch & Vinnie put Dustin & Sammy on the chopping block next? Or will The Righteous pay for their own sins?
Dustin & Sammy regroup backstage.
The Natural is furious as he says, “There is nothing righteous about the SH*T you just pulled! That man out there, that kid, had an opportunity of a lifetime, and you tried to put him out of the business for good by hobbling him., Well now you have my attention!” But then The Righteous attacks from behind! They CLOBBER Dustin, and they put the block between Sammy’s legs! But Dustin CLOBBERS Dutch! Vincent SMACKS Dustin with the chair! Vinnie tells Dustin that no one can hurt us more than we hurt ourselves. This should’ve happened a long time ago. The Righteous should’ve been champions a long time ago! Dig what he’s saying?
Refs tell them to get out of here, Vinnie snaps his fingers as he and Dutch leave. The title match is still to come, but will Dustin & Sammy put The Righteous down for good?
ROH Rewind – Jay Lethal VS Curry Man w/ Allison Danger!
It was October 29th, 2005, ROH This Means War, when Black Machismo took on Christopher Daniels’ good friend. He’s hot, he’s spicy, and he tastes great, but was he more dangerous than Lethal?
The fans chant, “HOT AND SPICY!” which annoys Lethal. The Code of Honor is upheld, the fans cheer, and the bell rings. The fans rally up more, and Lethal circles with Curry. They stare down, the fans chant, “HOT! SPICY! HOT! SPICY!” Curry dances to the chant, then ask they stop. He gets one side to chant “HOT!” The other side is “SPICY!” And they all say, “TASTES GREAT!” The fans cheer but Lethal is annoyed. They’re on the clock, you know. Lethal gets on a corner and the fans do cheer. But then Curry climbs and the fans cheer louder! Lethal tries again, and the fans cheer. But Curry climbs, and the fans cheer harder!
A fan teases Lethal, “Where’s the Afro? Where’s the Afro?” Lethal asks why they gotta do him like that. Lethal and Curry circle, tie up, and go around.

The two tie up, Lethal wrenches the arm to cording hold. Curry drops to a knee but rises up again. Curry uses ropes to springboard and arm-drag! And then hip toss! Lethal avoids the arm-drag but Curry makes it his spicy dance! Lethal is annoyed, but the fans chant, “Dance, Lethal, Dance! Dance, Lethal, Dance!” Curry is curious, but Lethal refuses. The fans boo, so Lethal says hold on, hold on. The two tie up, Lethal wrenches and WRINGS Curry, then swivels the hips! Curry storms up, but Lethal wrenches, and he swivels again. Curry grabs Lethal again, Lethal wrenches and arm-drags! Arm-drag! DROPKICK! Lethal does the running man!

They wrench back and forth, then Lethal KICKS a leg! Curry KICKS back! They KICK each other! And again! So they make it Kid ‘n’ Play! The fans are thunderous as these two nod respect. Curry and Lethal even secret handshake, ending with a finger point, but then they both point to the ref! The fans are thunderous, and the ref raises the roof! Curry can’t even, and he Flair flops! Curry kips back up, the fans cheer for Allison now!
Curry lounges in a corner, Lethal opens the ropes, as does the ref, and Allison Danger steps in. She may be dressed as a nun tonight, but she also raises the roof! A little extra shimmy, then a kiss on the cheek for Curry Man. She offers a kiss on the other cheek, but Curry Man says that’s too spicy. The fans are thunderous as Curry and Lethal circle. Wait, the fans want to see Bobby Cruise join in on the fun? Curry Man takes the mic real quick, and says that if there’s any more dancing, there won’t be time for wrestling. A fan shouts, “I LOVE YOU~!” and Curry says, “I love you, too, ma’am.” Curry then asks, if the fans don’t mind, Lethal and Curry would like to wrestle.
The fans applaud and Curry says, “Arigato gozaimasu.” The fans rally up for “ROH! ROH!” and Curry circles with Lethal.

The Infantry talks backstage.
Carlie Bravo asks Trish Adora & Shawn Dean if they like his bike. Captain Dean says it’s fine and all but where’d he even get it? Bravo says he ran down on the homies with some 40s. Dean & Adora sigh, but in step Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty. Bravo says they’re everywhere, but then asks STP what’s up. Shane says another week, another loss. Or two, really. But he is just asking them, when are they gonna be ready to reach their potential? Bravo says, “We’re already us, so we already them.” But more than that, what’re STP really after? Lee says they already know what. Shane says if you look around, you see that the battlelines have already been drawn.
And all Shane is saying, if they’re going to war, then he’d rather have some soldiers standing with him. Bravo asks for a second, and Infantry huddles up. Bravo says that is a good point. Lee tries to eavesdrop, but The Infantry looks at him. Lee backs off, and the discussion continues. Bravo quickly asks STP if they’ve got dental. No? Okay, hold on. The discussion wraps, and Bravo says yes, STP has a good point. War means soldiers, and who better than them? Bravo double checks with Dean & Adora, and Bravo says it is decided. Everyone better run ‘n’ hide, because STP’s outside. Shane shakes hands with Bravo and says rumble, bad man, rumble. Dean adds, “Copy that.”
Bravo checks real quick: They get to beat people up now? Yes, they do. Alright! Shane Taylor Promotions has recruited The Infantry, are they all going to be running ROH from here on?

Shane storms up, he argues with the ref, and Infantry also realizes they need to get this right. Angelico storms out but Adora steps up again! Angelico says this is 2v2, why’s she in the way?

Angelico RAMS Dean into buckles, arm-drags free, and runs up to use Dean as a step, LEAPING LARIAT on Bravo! The fans fire up as Angelico goes back to Dean. Dean ROCKS Angelico, Angelico ROCKS Dean, repeat! Angelico ducks to fire a strike fest! JUMP KNEE, and a whip! Dean reverses, Angelico rolls over, Dean avoids the sweep but not the EDDY GORDO KICK! Jackknife bridge, TWO! The fans rally up again and Angelico brings Dean up.
Angelico calls to Serpentico, before the FLATLINER! Serpentico is up top, FROG SPLASH! Angelico covers, but Bravo YANKS Angelico away! Angelico DECKS Bravo for it!

Dean & Bravo grin, because the change in tactics has worked out! But did they just sell their souls in order to finally have success?
Backstage interview with Billie Starkz.
Lexy is with Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths to congratulate her on her win tonight. But now, they have more important things to focus on: Athena’s Ring of Horrors match with Abadon. All eyes are on the Minion Overlord, so that crap Billie pulled, no, this is a family. They have to be by Athena’s side as MIT. Billie says, “Lemme tell you about Athena. I hope she has fun tonight with Abadon.” What? No, Billie, you have to be out there. They are family, they must band together, they are sisters, and… And… Does Billie not understand how dangerous Abadon is? Abadon tried to kill Lexy! Billie chuckles, but apologizes. Lexy can have fun, too.
Billie is taking her one MIT day off tonight, see you next week. Billie leaves and Lexy says no, she can’t do that! Lexy is a fragile flower! Will the fate of the Fallen Angel be in danger now that she only has her Minion Bestie by her side?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“Hi, guys~! And I hope everyone’s having a Happy Halloween, and I’m wishing all the boys and ghouls the best this evening. I hope you got a lot of tricks and a lot of treats, and I’ve got a treat for you. From one great ROH champion in Chris Jericho, The Nueve, talking about another great ROH champion, Athena, the ROH Women’s Champion. She has a huge task ahead of her tonight, but all the people in her fang club are gonna be cheering her on as she takes on Abadon in a Ring of Horror match. You’ve got the great women’s champion against the mistress of the dark, Abadon, she thrives on a night like this! It’s gonna be a bloody good time!
And I can’t wait to watch! I’m gonna be biting my fingernails, I’m gonna screaming and cheering for both, cuz all I wanna see is a great match between a great champion and… A zombie woman? A Living Dead Girl? Either way, just know that The Learning Tree is here with you. Happy Halloween, hope you get a lot of treats, and here’s the biggest treat: Me. Thanks, guys~!” The Nueve makes sure to get his TV time wherever he can, but is he right about tonight’s main event? Is it about to be a thriller?
ROH Women’s World Championship Ring of Horrors Match: Athena VS Abadon!
The introductions are made, the (spinner) belt is raised, as are the stakes, and we see who really has a reign of terror!
This match is Anything Goes, Falls Count Anywhere, and because Athena has a habit of running away from Abadon, they will be chained together! This only makes Athena even more squirrely, and the fans chant, “This is Creepy!” The bell rings, the fans fire up, and Abadon already starts reeling Athena in. Athena taunts Abadon, “You think you’re bad? You think you’re big and bad, Abadon?!” Abadon shrieks and scares Athena, so that’s a yes! Abadon reels Athena in but Athena ROCKS Abadon! Abadon just stares at Athena. Then Abadon fires forearms again and again! Abadon puts Athena in the corner, ROCKS her, then LARIATS!
Abadon fires more LARIATS, then shrieks again! The fans cheer, Abadon runs up, but Athena sends her into buckles! Athena snarls and runs to DROPKICK Abadon to the floor. Athena goes out, looks under the ring, and Athena brings out a chair! Athena sits that chair up, then brings out another. Athena JAMS Abadon with that chair, then sits that chair next to the other. Athena keeps bringing out chairs, but Abadon has a kendo stick! Abadon winds up, and SMACK on the back! Athena grabs a trash can lid, she blocks the kendo stick! Athena cowers but Abadon pursues and fires more shots with the kendo stick!
Athena raises the lid to guard, but Abadon hits so hard, Athena gets bopped in the head by the lid! Athena scrambles away, and she brings out BARBIE! The barbed wire wrapped bat is here, but Abadon dares her to use it. Athena swings, strike one! Athena pursues, strike two as she hits a pumpkin! Strike three as she hits the trash can and the guard rail! But Athena keeps swinging, and she finally hits Abadon low! Athena drops the bat while she watches Abadon writhing. Athena uses the chain to drag Abadon along, and Athena has the trash can lid again. Athena SMACKS Abadon on the back, then she chucks pumpkins aside!
Athena finishes smashing pumpkins so she can use the table. Wait, the chain broke off the cuff! The ref sees that but Athena says no, it’s fine! Athena brings the table around, and props it up against railing. The ref insists, so the chain is reattached to Athena’s cuff. But then Abadon TACKLES Athena onto the table! The table does not break, so Abadon goes up the steps! Abadon SPLASHES Athena on the table, but it still doesn’t break! Instead, the table, Athena and Abadon all tip over! The fans are disappointed, and Abadon says, “I hate this table!” Abadon runs up, and she TACKLES Athena back onto the table!
The table legs may have broken off but the wood is in one piece. Abadon still covers Athena, TWO! Abadon drags Athena up, CLUBS her, and then THROWS her through the table! The fans cheer and Abadon says, “Bye bye, table!” Abadon then drags Athena from the wreckage using the chain. Abadon throws the kendo stick into the ring, followed by the trash can. Abadon puts Athena in the ring, and the fans rally as Abadon slithers up. Abadon SMACKS Athena off the mat, SMACKS her off the mat again, and mockingly asks how Athena is feeling. Abadon CLUBS Athena, CLUBS her again, but Atehna hits back!
The fans rally and duel as the forearms go back and forth! Athena stomps Abadon’s foot, then whips Abadon to ropes. Athena ROCKS Abadon, runs, but Abadon follows! Abadon ROCKS Athena, runs, but Athena steps on the chain to cut Abadon short! Then Athena KNEES Abadon down! The fans rally and duel, and Athena goes out to look under the ring. Athena brings out a ladder! Athena pushes that into the ring, but Abadon DROPKICKS the ladder back into Athena! Abadon puts the ladder in a corner across the ropes. Abadon then stalks Athena, but Athena mule kicks! Athena SMASHES Abadon with the trash can!
The fans rally up while Athena stalks Abadon. Athena puts Abadon in, then brings the trash can with her. Abadon FULL METAL STUNNERS! Cover, TWO!! Athena survives and Abadon is upset with the ref’s count! Abadon drags Athena over to SMACK her off the ladder. Abadon puts Athena on the ladder, then climbs up over her to go up the corner! The fans fire up for Abadon, and Abadon SUPER SENTONS!! The fans are fired up while both women writhe! The fans hope they “FIGHT FOREVER!” but Halloween only lasts one night! Athena crawls to ropes, but Abadon pursues. Athena goes to a corner, and Abadon stands.
Abadon runs up but Athena ELBOWS back! Abadon runs in again, but into a BOOT! Athena goes up, but Abadon SHOVES her over! Athena lands on the apron, but Abadon climbs up, to APRON DOUBLE STOMP! Abadon roars and the fans fire up again. Abadon drags Athena off the apron, then goes looking under the ring. Abadon brings out a chair, slides that into the ring, and then looks under the ring again. Abadon brings out a BLACK BAG! The fans fire up because those are always fun. Abadon pours out thumbtacks! They’re all over the floor, and now Abadon storms upon Athena. But Athena JAMS Abadon with the chair!
Athena then CHUCKS the chair into Abadon! Abadon stumbles to steps, and Athena runs up to KNEE Abadon against steps!! Cover, TWO!?! Athena is furious and she throws more pumpkins. Athena drags Abadon up, SMACKS her off the steps, then puts Abadon in the ring. Athena positions the steps around the way, and tips them over! The fans fire up, and Athena goes in to CLUB Abadon. Athena drags Abadon up, goes up a corner, and then drags Abadon up to join her. But Abadon fires body shots! Athena CLUBS Abadon, facelocks, but Abadon fights! Abadon fires body shots, then she licks Athena’s face!
Athena freaks out, scrambles underneath Abadon, and tries to bring Abadon off the corner but Abadon holds on. Athena uses the chain to YANK Abadon into buckles, then Athena KICKS Abadon in the face! Athena climbs up behind Abadon, chain wrapped around wrist, and she CLUBS Abadon with a metal fist! Athena hooks Abadon up, SUPER URENAGE! Cover, TWO!! Abadon survives and the fans cheer. Athena is losing her cool, and she goes to the kendo stick. Athena hides that the chain is off her cuff, and she SMACKS Abadon! And SMACKS Abadon again! And again! The ref is suspicious, but Athena hides the chain.
Abadon rises, Athena runs up, but Abadon ducks! Kendo stick hits rope and rebounds to SMACK Athena in the head! The fans fire up as Abadon crawls to a cover, TWO!! Athena survives and Abadon is frustrated. Abadon grabs the trash can lid to SMACK Athena with it! Athena goes to the apron, Abadon slides out after her, and CLUBS her on the back. Abadon HEADBUTTS away on Athena, and Athena flops onto the steel steps! Abadon grins and climbs up the corner! The fans fire up as Abadon takes aim, but Athena uses the chain against Abadon! Athena CLUBS Abdaon, then LASHES Abadon’s legs with the chain!
Athena gets under Abadon, POWERBOMB onto the steel steps! High stack, TWO!!! Athena cannot believe it, and she gets up in the ref’s face! Athena is pacing in frustration, and sees all the thumbtacks. Abadon is in a daze, so Athena drags Abadon into the ring. “This is Awesome!” and Athena shouts, “I KNOW IT IS!” Athena hauls Abadon back up, wraps the chain all around Abadon, and tells Lexy to get “them!” Lexi brings over BAMBOO SKEWERS?!? Athena STICKS the skewers into Abadon’s forehead!! Abadon is busted open by only a few and yet the crowd goes quiet. Athena is more horrified that Abadon is still moving!
Abadon rises, and turns to look at Athena! Athena says they should talk about this. Abadon reels Athena in, Athena begs for mercy, but Abadon says no more talking,. Athena kicks low, whips Abadon, but Abadon slides out to YANK Athena into a chair! Abadon drags Athena out to THROW her into railing! And we return to the tacks! The fans fire up as Abadon reels Athena in, SWINGING SLAM onto the floor and tacks!! Cover, TWO!!! Athena survives and Abadon shrieks in rage! Athena writhes from the tacks stuck in her back, but Abadon drags her up. Abadon puts Athena in the ring, stalks her, and Athena tries to apologize.
Abadon isn’t hearing anything Athena is saying, and stomps at her! Athena falls out of the ring but Abadon pursues. Wait, Athena SMASHES a glass bottle on Abadon’s face!! Athena brings Abadon to the chairs, then goes up the apron, FULL METAL O-FACE!!!! Cover, ATHENA WINS!!
Winner: Athena, by pinfall (still ROH Women’s World Champion)
Cedar Rapids ends up looking more like Crystal Lake, but Athena makes it past her Jason Vorhees! Will nothing and no one ever end the Forever Champion’s reign?
My Thoughts:
Why was this almost three hours long? And for the most part, it was filler. I did my best to cover what really mattered, and honestly I could’ve skipped the ROH Rewind. I might just have to start doing that. Seeing very young Jay Lethal and Christopher Daniels- Er, his very good friend, Curry Man… That was some fun stuff because I did not know ROH was even a thing in 2005. But unless they’re super relevant to the episode, or is something I’ve already covered, I should skip them to save time.
I do appreciate a major development in the Infantry’s story. Their joining Shane Taylor Promotions had been slowly built up, and now the faction has members for every division. The only problem would be that the singles titles Shane could go after are held by Heels. Brian Cage is in Don Callis Family, so Heel. And Jericho is of course Heel. In fact, Jericho had to go and be in this episode twice, once with the complete replay of his promo from last night, and then a new promo just to hype up the main event.
In fact, the crowd here was really supportive of Taven in his Pure Division match, which he did pretty well in. They’re most certainly pushing Taven right to the Pure Championship, and we might even get a feud of The Kingdom VS STP on the side as each faction looks to grab up belts again. Good stuff in the story of the man named Beef. Very good match from Beef & JD VS Vance & Avalon, and good promo to follow. I do appreciate JD isn’t completely annoyed with Beef, but Beef’s unlimited enthusiasm might change that. But at the same time, I really hope that we have that moment where JD (and Henry, too) turn around and accept Beef.
While I didn’t bother with their matches, I did see Premier Athletes mug Tomohiro Ishii to bring out Kyle O’Reilly. Not sure why Conglomeration has to continue their story with Premier Athletes here on ROH. Or at all. Premier Athletes should move on, maybe to feud with Dark Order or Top Flight. Granted, those teams are feuding with Blackpool Combat Club on AEW programming, but either Face faction could get some good wins off The Premier Athletes. Especially Top Flight, as The Premier Athletes could have good promos over how they’re all very athletic, and we’ll see who are the more athletic.
Good promo from Billie after her obvious win over Onyx tonight. Billie leaving Athena to her fate was good stuff, and Athena VS Abadon was great stuff. The “Ring of Horrors” is a very fun combination of a chain match and Halloween themed Street Fight. A shame that the table was not cooperating at first, but it also has some unintentional humor with how they flopped over that one time. But of course Athena found a way to win, with only a mild assist from Lexy. Again, we are surely getting Athena VS Billie Round 2 at Final Battle 2024, and that will be awesome.
My Score: 8.6/10

What an insanely overpowered combo move to finish Hashi! But in the end, the power of the Empire’s founding members shines even brighter now that they hold gold together! Khan grabs the mic to say, “Bow down, you peasants! We beat ‘Bishamontin,’ we have dominated the NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Champions. So next… We shall conquer K O B and the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships. And if they want to see us directly, we will forgive them if they dare step in front of us.” In other words, Khan is daring Oskar & Yuto-Ice to appear. And after a moment, they indeed appear!
The Knockout Brothers swagger down to the ramp and into the ring, and they stare down Khan & Henare. Henare has the mic to tell Ice that Henare doesn’t care what anyone says! Those tag titles are theirs, now bring them your mana! Yuto laughs at that and tells Henare that if he wants the mana, Yuto will bring him that wrestling high! They can make some money together!

And that seems to be these two here. Go ahead, challenge them! Because everyone here will put their money down to see it!
You don’t have to think, just feel! Let’s Get High! TCH TCH, Big Up! The champions have spoken, and they’re ready to face fellow champions to prove they’re the best! But will Oskar & Ice make sure to knock out Khan & Henare? Or will the Empire continue to conquer the world?

Judgment Day is in the clubhouse.
Liv Morgan says that Stephanie Vaquer is injured, no worrying about her anymore. But now to talk about the not so good news. Like what the hell was Finn doing in here last week?! Roxie doesn’t know, he must be delusional. Liv says she’s not worried about Finn, JD McDonagh finishes this tonight. Liv is worried about Roxie. Why did Finn think it was okay to talk to Roxie? Why didn’t Roxie tell them about it? Why did Liv have to watch it through Netflix to learn about what’s going on? Roxie says she didn’t mention it because she made it clear to Finn. She told him to get out and never come back. But Liv’s right, Roxie should’ve said something.
But don’t worry! Roxie’s loyal to Judgment Day, they know that. Yes, Liv is glad to hear that, because she believes in Roxie. Roxie & Raquel are going to be the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, they just can’t let anything get between the family. Promise Liv that you won’t keep secrets, Roxie. Roxie promises. Promises what…? That she will never keep any secrets from Judgment Day. Good. So they ready? Liv, Dom & JD head out, and Raquel pats Roxie on the head. But will things be (not) fine for Judgment Day?

Jackie Redmond apologizes to The Architect for bothering him, as he is clearly in pain after that vicious assault from Bron Breakker. But what does this mean for Backlash. Will Rollins be okay? Rollins says Backlash is in five days, he’ll be fine. Rollins told “the kid” last week, that if you take your shot, you better be able to finish the job. Rollins ain’t dead yet. Rollins storms off, will he be able to game plan a way to get around Bron’s speed, strength, and ruthless aggression?
The Vision regroups backstage.

I’m the best wrestler in the world! Quack!” Austin Theory joins in, “Lemme sing my song! Quack quack!” Paul Heyman walks in and says, “Is Seth Rollins still breathing?” Bron says yes, he is.

Heyman says that’s why tonight, Logan is not fighting Joe Hendry. W-What?!
Heyman says Bron almost got suspended again, Brock Lesnar retired on us, and if Logan were to get his hands on Hendry, he’ll be put in jail for what he does to him! That’s why tonight, it is Joe Hendry VS Austin Theory. Theory says it’s alright, Maverick. If Logan wants Hendry smacked around, Theory will smack him around. If Logan wants Hendry hurt, Theory will hurt him. He’ll put the Pressure on Hendry, and Logan can just watch. Bron says relax, you’re THE Logan Paul. Vision will get ’em all, one by one.

Ethan wobbles, Evans WRECKS Rusev, then he slips around to GERMAN SUPLEX Ethan! The fans fire up as Evans builds speed to FLY! #WeOutside! Evans throws off his shirt, springboards back in, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Ethan survives, he isn’t a former NXT Champion for nothing!
The fans rally for Evans, he goes up a corner, and he MOONSAULTS, but Ethan gets under! ROUNDHOUSE! Ethan reels Evans in, TWISTED- NO, Evans pops free to SUPERKICK! Evans runs, but Ethan BOOTS him first! Ethan whips, but Evans rebounds, RED DOT GAMANGIRI! Hot tag to Penta, springboard TORNADO DDT! Cover, but Rusev breaks it! Evans goes after Rusev but Rusev shoves him away. Evans DUMPS Rusev out, then DIVES! Another hit on Rusev, and now he’s on the desk! The fans are thunderous as they see that look in Evans’ eyes! Evans hurries to the corner and climbs up top!
The fans are going nuts already, but Etan SHOVES Evans down! Penta SUPERKICKS Ethan! Penta then slingshots to- NO, Ethan dodges and SWEEPS the leg! Penta is down but the ref won’t let Ethan go after him. Rusev handles that with an URENAGE on the desk! Rusev feeds Penta to Ethan, FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, ETHAN & RUSEV WIN!
Winners: Rusev & Ethan Page, by pinfall
Both Bulgarian Brute and All Ego have sinister grins on their face, and they celebrate their victory! Not too buddy-buddy, of course. But will these two both have their shot at Penta’s Intercontinental Championship?
Adam Pearce is in the ring.
“When I was a coach in NXT, my favorite, my absolute favorite days, was when a surefire, can’t-miss, blue chip future superstar saw their dreams come true when they got the opportunity to sign one of these to join Raw or SmackDown. Guys, today is one of those days. Let’s take a look.” The fans cheer as we get a highlight reel of the former NXT Women’s North American & WWE Speed Women’s Champion, and Pearce asks we all welcome the newest Raw superstar, Sol Ruca! Sol makes her entrance with a new song, and high-fives fans as she heads down the ramp. Sol joins Pearce in the ring, grabs herself a mic, and Pearce congratulates her.
The fans cheer and Sol smiles as she takes the contract. “Damn. It is going to feel so damn good when I sign this and officially be a part of Monday Night Raw.” But wait, Becky Lynch is interrupting! Pearce is upset as the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion storms her way to the ring. Becky grabs herself a mic to tell Petty Pearce that she’s been looking for him all day! She was told that THIS would be her time for her Celebration of Greatness! Who told her that?! Doesn’t matter, she knows they were a very credible, reliable source. But point is, after her monumental WrestleMania moment, Pearce came out and illegally sanctioned a match with “Iyo Jennetty.”
Which explicitly went against the parameters of her open challenge! But even with that meddling, Becky won! Uncontroversial because she’s the greatest female wrestler of all time, and it’s not just her saying it, other people say it. Sports Illustrated says it, Bleacher Report says it! Sol asks Becky, “Are you done?!” Becky says no, actually, and she’s also a New York Times best seller. Sol says not everything is about Becky. Becky says okay, okay, Sol is very new here, but the sooner she learns this the better. Everything is about her! Well, not this. Everyone knows who Becky is, we know what Becky’s done and accomplished.
But the thing is, Sol didn’t expect to find out that upon meeting Becky, Becky is exactly what everyone says she is. W-Which is? The Man? The history maker? The ground breaker? No. They say Becky is a rude, big-headed B*TCH! And it’s not just Sol saying it, it’s New York Times, Sports Illustrated- Becky says Pearce may be terrible at her job, but is he really letting Sol talk to her like this?! Becky asks if the fans are letting Sol talk to her like this. “YES!” Becky is flabbergasted but the fans cheer Sol on. Becky ask who even is this, and Sol finishes singing her contract. This is Sol Ruca, and if you ever interrupt her again, not only will Sol kick your ass, but she’ll snatch your soul.
Becky takes a swing, Sol dodges, so the punch hits PEARCE! Oops! Becky apologizes but Pearce is furious! Sol smiles as Becky panics, and then she runs up to use the corner! SOUL SNATCHER! The Man is down! Is Sol about to turn the tides and wash away Becky’s big time ego?
The Usos are backstage.
Jackie Redmond catches them as they head for Roman Reigns’ room, and asks them how they’re feeling ahead of the contract signing. Jimmy says it is a big night! Contract signing night between OTC and Samoan Werewolf, and they wouldn’t miss this for nothing. Now, they got a lot of love for Jacob, but Jacob needs to understand how OTC does business, especially when there’s championship gold on the line. Ya feel ’em? Jackie understands, but aren’t they conflicted considering their relationship with both? Jey says nah, Jackie, this right here is family bidness, plain and simple. OTC knows how to handle himself. The Usos are just in case something pops off.
But Jacob, The Usos already told you, Uce! You swimming in deep water now. You bit off more than you can chew. You’re swinging for the fences, though! But they respect that, aight? But Jey is telling you, The Bloodline has been drawn! And at Backlash, you gonna find out who you messing with, Jacob. Good luck, lil’ cousin. YEET. The Usos then step inside Roman’s room. What will the OG Bloodline discuss in regards to this very same family business?
Austin Theory w/ The Vision VS Joe Hendry!
The Vision were a bit… triggered, perhaps, by what The Prestigious Joe Hendry joked about during his concert. But will Hendry feel the Pressure here tonight? Or will Omaha be full of believers after tonight?
Raw returns as Hendry continues his concert where it left off! “He’s one amazing athlete, but he’s a piece of trash! He can shove his trading cards directly up his.. Paul! Paul! Can we fire Logan Paul? Everyone! Paul! Paul! Can we fire Logan Paul?” Logan storms out and shouts that he thought he made it clear that Hendry cannot fire Logan Paul! He is UN-FIREABLE! TKO cannot fire Logan, that’s bad business! Logan IS business! Logan is the heart and soul of the WWE! Hendry says he knows Logan is upset, and he’s glad to see Logan, because this part of the song is the apology. It goes like this: “Paul, Paul, can we fire Logan Paul?”
Logan swears to kill Hendry, but Theory runs up! The bell rings, Hendry fires hands, then LAIRATS Theory up and out of the ring! The fans cheer, Logan tells Theory to handle this! Theory and Logan reset, circle, but the Logan shouts at Hendry. That distraction lets Theory CLOBBER Hendry from behind! The fans boo but Theory CLUBS away on Hendry. Theory then clamps onto Hendry to throw hands right into the side of his head! The fans boo more but Theory CLOBBERS Hendry again! Theory & Logan soak up the heat, then Theory slaps Hendry around. Theory scoops to hit a BACKBREAKER! Theory and Logan fire each other up, but the ref has Logan back off.
Theory stands Hendry up, but Hendry UPPERCUTS and CHOPS and repeat! Hendry whips corner to corner, Theory reverses hard, and Hendry falls to the mat. Theory rains down fists, talks trash, but the fans chant, “Logan Sucks! Logan Sucks!” Logan shouts back that he does not, and Theory goes back to Hendry. Theory drags Hendry up, talks trash, and snap suplexes! “Who sucks now?!” The Vision soaks up more heat, then Theory drags Hendry up. Theory talks more trash, but Hendry suplexes Theory now! The fans cheer while Logan is already upset again. Hendry rises, the fans rally behind him, and Hendry fires haymakers!
Hendry whips Theory to ropes to then LARIAT! Theory flounders from taking the “Commonwealth Clothesline,” and Hendry runs to LARIAT in the corner! Hendry keeps moving, but Theory blows past! Only for Hendry to catch him! FALL AWAY SLAM! And then a kip up, for the… TURN! The fans cheer, but LOGAN ATTACKS!
Winner: Joe Hendry, by disqualification
The fans boo but Logan HAMMERS away on Hendry! Logan hands Hendry the win but he snarls as he tells Hendry, “Nobody can fire me!” Hendry fires off fists! Theory goes after Hendry, the fans boo as The Vision mugs Hendry! They stomp and punch away, but here come the Street Profits! Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins again take the fight to The Vision! SUPERKICK for Logan! Then Ford spins Theory around to ENZIGIRI! Dawkins takes Theory for THE SILENCER! The fans pump it up for The Profits, and Dawkins Electric Chair Lifts Theory! Ford climbs up, but BRON runs in! Bron THROWS Ford out of the ring! Then Bron CLOBBERS Dawkins!
The fans bark as Bron then GERMAN SUPLEXES Dawkins! The Unpredictable Badass turns the tides, but SETH ROLLINS trips him up! The fans cheer as Rollins gets revenge with furious fists! Rollins THROWS Bron into steel steps! Rollins stomps away, then they brawl in the ring! Rollins rains down fists while the fans cheer! Rollins BLASTS Logan & Theory off the apron, then LARIATS Bron down! Omaha is erupting as Rollins is shaking the ropes! Rollins aims, but hold on! Ford FLIES out to take out Logan & Theory! But Bron SPEARS Rollins in the distraction! Bron snarls as he tells Rollins he was that close.
Bron leaves Rollins down again, but he’s still roughed up himself. Will either man survive the Backlash?
Backstage interview with Judgment Day.
Jackie is now with Liv, Dom, JD, Raquel & Roxie, and brings up them sending a message to Finn. But what is the focus moving forward? Liv says yeah, you saw what they did to Finn tonight, and to Vaquer last week. The focus is getting all the gold and crushing anyone who gets in their way. And this season is all about Raquel & Roxie! Tell her, sister! Raquel warns Brie Bella & Paige that their nostalgia tour was cute for a night, but it’s time to get serious. She wants them both to come to their show, because- Bayley & Lyra Valkyria step in, and The Role Model says, “Well, well, well. Wouldya look at here? Can anyone in the Judgment Day get anything done on their own?”
Bayley has known them all for so long and she is just finally getting it. Lyra says they weren’t gonna forget what happened to them last week, either. If they’re such a big happy family, then they won’t be afraid to take them on. Liv mocks them and says families help each other win. Try it sometime, losers. Bye~! Bye~! Judgment Day leaves, but will #BayLyra humble them soon enough? And what of Brie & Paige answering the challenge to show up on “Judgment Day’s show?”
The Ruler’s Open Challenge: Oba Femi VS ???
With champions either too busy, too lazy, or perhaps too afraid to accept a challenge, The Ruler is making HIMSELF into the challenge! Who will answer the call, and who will be thrown from the mountaintop in Omaha?
Oba has the mic to say,” The time has come. The Oba Femi Open Challenge will now begin.” And it’s AKIRA TOZAWA that answers the call! He is accompanied by Maxxine Dupri & Otis, but can The Stamina Monster even survive?
The bell rings and Tozawa steps up to be face to… chest with Oba… Tozawa gest scared, but Otis says that’s okay, HE will step up. Even Oba likes the look of this! The bell rings, and the two tie up. They’re in a deadlock, but Oba SHOVES Otis! That alone is impressive, but Otis comes back to RAM Oba! Oba stays put and the fans continue to cheer. Oba and Otis are forehead to forehead, then Oba RAMS Otis! Otis doesn’t budge and the fans cheer! They start shoving, then Otis rips his shirt away! Oba RAMS Oba, Oba RAMS Otis, but Otis dodges! Only for Oba to UPPERCUT Otis down! Oba then hauls Otis up, for a SUPER SHOTPUT!
The fans are thunderous as Oba is fired up, and he watches Otis slowly get up. Even Oba is wondering if this is possible, but he kicks Otis first. Oba nods and says he knows how to get this done. Oba hoists Otis up the corner, then gets under Otis, for a SUPER SIZED FALL FROM GRACE!! Cover, Oba wins!
Winner: Oba Femi, by pinfall
The first challenge was already a big challenge, but Oba was still up to the challenge! And after seeing that, will anyone even want to step up next week?
Refs check on Rollins backstage.
Rollins insists that despite how he looks, he is fine. Just leave him alone. Rollins sees Hendry & The Profits, and he “thanks” Montez Ford for setting him up for that second spear. Ford says thanks to Rollins’ past antics, nobody, and Ford means NOBODY, trusts Rollins! Oh, wow, nobody? Ford doesn’t trust him, Dawkins doesn’t trust him, Rollins doesn’t even know Hendry but Hendry probably doesn’t trust him. Guess what? Rollins doesn’t even trust himself! But who cares!? They’re in the same fight! They’re all after The Vision, so those fights are gonna come together! But here’s the deal: They stay out of Rollins’ way, he’ll stay out of theirs. Got it?
Rollins storms off, but does he have it all backwards? Shouldn’t they all work together if they want to tear The Vision down?
Adam Pearce mediates a meeting between Iyo Sky and Asuka.
The Raw General Manager knows these two are set to face off at Backlash, so the floor is theirs. Iyo starts by telling “Asuka-san, I have avoided this fight for years. You know this. You are exactly what you say you are: my senpai; my mentor; I looked up to you. I loved you. And despite everything you have done to me, I still have the utmost respect for you. I never wanted to have this fight, and I never wanted it to come to this. But… You have changed.” Asuka says nothing has changed, but Iyo says yes, she has! The Asuka that Iyo looked up to is no longer here! Now, Iyo has no choice but to fight Asuka.
Asuka says Iyo continues her disrespect, so the Iyo that Asuka taught is no longer here, either! This person sitting here, who are you? “I don’t know anyone this disrespectful. Who are you?” Asuka says this is her biggest disappointment! Do you not get how she feels?! Asuka is done with Iyo. At Backlash, Asuka cuts Iyo out of her life for good. Iyo says fine, she understands. Because she IS ready for Asuka! Asuka rolls her eyes, then leans in close, to MIST IYO RIGHT IN THE FACE!! Pearce is furious, has Asuka get out of here, and shouts for a doctor! The Empress of Tomorrow shows no remorse, but will The Genius show no mercy at Backlash?
Backstage interview with El Grande Americano Original and…?
Jackie is with Chad G- er, uh, the Original EGA and The Creed Brothers, who are now “Los Americanos Hermanos,” The American Brothers… After that surprise attack on the other El Grande Americano at AAA during the Mask VS Mask contract signing, how are they feeling going into this trios match? Well, thankfully, the No Physicality Agreement was for Mexico. That means here in Middle America, all bets are off! Now, the boys saw how they great EGA Original in AAA, it’s ridiculous! So they decided to do the honorable thing and help him out. They take inspiration from a close personal friend of his, Chad Gable, still sidelined with injury.
But on May 30th, we find out once and for all that there is only ONE El Grande Americano, and you’re lookin’ at him! The ORIGINAL El Grande Americano! AH GRACIAS~! Los Americanos Original heads to the ring, but will this be an American made victory? Or will the real Americanos please stand up?
Six Man Tag: Los Americanos VS Los Americanos Original!
Raw returns as the other Los Americanos make their entrance. The trios sort out, but then El Grande Dos throws his cape at Original! The brawl is on and the fans fire up! The fists fly, but “Julio” DUMPS Rayo out, then “Bruto” ROCKS Bravo! The brothers THROW Bravo out before Original LARIATS Americano Dos out! The fans cheer, “AH GRACIAS~!” Bravo rushes in, Bruto FLAPJACKS him, and now the match is on! Bruto copies Bravo’s dance, then UPPERCUTS! Tag to Julio, they double whip to DOUBLE BACKDROP! Julio struts but Rayo tags in. Rayo ROCKS and KICKS Julio, then CHOPS! Rayo runs, but into an OVERHEAD BELLY2BELL!
Julio kips up while Rayo hobbles. Julio reels Rayo in for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Tag to Bruto, then tag to Original. Julio ELBOWS Rayo in the corner, Bruto BACK BODY BLOCKS, then feed to Original’s HIP TOSS! The fans cheer and Original covers, TWO! Original drags Rayo up, wrenches, wristlocks, but Rayo breaks free to SMACK him! Tag to El Grande Dos! The Grandes tie up, go around, and Original arm-drags! They fight back up, Dos wrenches but Original rolls to SLAP back! Original headlocks but Rayo tags in as Dos powers up and out. They then trip Original out, bring him to the outside, and Grande Dos WRECKS Original with a dropkick!
The fans are torn as Los Americanos stand tall, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again as Rayo BOOTS Bruto off the corner! Rayo then clamps onto Julio with a SLEEPER! The fans rally as Julio endures, reaches out, but drops to his knees. Julio powers up again to BACKPACK SENTON! The fans rally while both men are down, hot tags to the Grandes! Original THROWS Dos, then rains down fists! Dos gets free, Bravo goes up and leaps in! Original catches him for an EXPLODER! Original fires hands, then clinches to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! ROLLING LIGER KICK on Rayo! Then Original ducks the discus to ANGLE SLAM! The fans fire up with Original and he waistlocks, but Bravo tags in!
Bravo y Rayo save their Americano from Chaos Theory, only for Original to waistlock Bravo! Bravo grabs Rayo in a panic, DOUBLE GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up for Original Grande, and he goes out to CANNONBALL! He CLOBBERS Rayo, goes up a corner, but Dos distracts the ref! That lets Rayo SHOVE Original off the corner! But Julio springs right up! SUPER DUPER PLEX! Bruto is up to MOONSAULT! But Dos CLOBBERS Bruto with the headbutt! GAMANGIRI for Julio! But then both Grandes run up, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS! Bravo is up top, DIVING BODY PRESS! Cover, TWO! Bravo is furious but the fans rally up, “This is Awesome!”
Rayo aims at Bruto, runs up, and SUPERKICKS from the apron! Then he SEATED SENTONS! But Julio gets Bravo up, APRON BOMB! Grande Dos PENALTY KICKS Julio! But Original has Bravo, RAMS him into Dos, then hits CHAOS THEORY! The fans cheer as Original goes up top, but Grande Dos grabs him! But the brothers RAM him into the barriers! Original DIVING HEADBUTT! Cover, Los Americanos Original win!
Winners: Los Americanos Original, by pinfall
AH GRACIAS~! But will this momentum carry El Grande Americano Original through that Mask VS Mask match at the end of May?
Roman Reigns heads to the ring!
Now that there is no one to stand in his way, The OTC, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, walks out on stage and raises his finger to the sky. The pyro goes off, and it is time for the title fight contract signing. But will things stay civil in this family civil war? We’ll find out, after the break.
Raw returns as Roman gets his second round of pyro, then joins Pearce in the ring. Roman makes sure to sit at the head of the table, then Pearce introduces the challenger, Jacob Fatu! The fans cheer the Samoan Werewolf as he makes his entrance. Pearce says we all know how this works: two signatures on the contract makes this match official. The fans sing for “Roman, Roman Reigns~!” while he stares down with Jacob. Roman picks up his mic first to say, “Nah, Pearce, you know how this works. Omaha, Nebraska…! ACKNOWLEDGE ME.” The fans cheer and chant “O T C! O T C!” Roman asks if Jacob hears all that.
Roman says that’s not just love, but the sound of respect! The fans cheer that, and Roman says you don’t think he knows where Jacob comes from? That he wasn’t watching from afar? That respect wasn’t earned just from hanging out. Jacob was grinding for 12 years, but Roman was here for OVER 12 years! The fans cheer again, and Roman tells Jacob that Roman was the one in this company, his foot holding the door open for Solo Sikoa. Solo brought Fatu in? Well guess what? Roman brought Solo in. Therefore, Roman brought Fatu in. And Roman will be damned if there is not respect to be had in this business for him!
The fans again cheer for “O T C! O T C!” and Roman says this is about respect. There has to be a code, there has to be an honor system. They can’t just run roughshod around here, bogarding everything for the family. No, there has to be a system of conduct that they can hang their hats on, understand? The Tongan Death Grip… Jacob disrespects Roman with something that he saves for desperate measures. Where does Jacob think they are? In some bar at 3AM, surrounded 8v1? THAT is when you bust out the Tongan Death Grip, THAT is when you snatch someone’s throat! You don’t do that to family! You don’t do that to your own. You don’t do that to your Tribal Chief!
The fans cheer again, but Fatu says, “Hold on, what?! Tribal Chief? Hey. That’s where you got it all wrong, you don’t understand. Yes, I am desperate. Yes, it feels like it’s just me against the world. Yes, my back is against the wall. So I have no other choice but to take you out, take this title, and everything that comes with it!” The fans are torn on that, but Fatu says to keep it 100, then he’ll put a choke hold on this game, and he’ll squeeze out every dollar and cent, just the way this company been doing their family for decades! So when Fatu’s talking all gas, no brakes with it, that doesn’t mean slowing down, it means moving forward and never going back to where he came from.
So yes, Roman, Fatu is desperate. Desperate enough to do anything for his household, even if he gotta run through his own blood! Roman says this is what he’s talking about! Fatu’s household?! Let’s get this out the way. Roman signs his part, the fans cheer, and then Roman pushes the contract to Fatu. Fatu is talking about his household, but Roman says he’s been up here over a decade for MULTIPLE households! Fatu is worried about seven kids, but Roman’s worried about 170 kids! Fatu is worried about higher education, but Roman is worried about generation after generation! Because Roman is the one that can do that! Proof of concept! The respect! WWE does business with HIM!
Roman already told everyone a long time ago, this is ALL HIS! This is HIS ring! And yes, in their family, they’re equals, of the same blood. But in this ring, Jacob, you’re beneath him! JACOB SNATCHES ROMAN! Roman CLAWS Fatu’s face, THROWS him into buckles, then THROWS an armchair at him! The fans fire up but Pearce wants Roman to calm down. Roman grabs the belt, but Fatu GRABS ROMAN’S THROAT! Roman HAMMERS Fatu down, climbs up in the corner, and rains down more fists! The fans count along, Roman goes all the way to TEN! But the TONGAN DEATH GRIP still finds him!!
Roman hurries to get loose, SUPERMAN- DEATH GRIP!! DEATH GRIP!! Pearce hurries in there, Roman grabs at Pearce out of desperation, but Fatu drags him around, CHOKE SLAM on the table!! The table didn’t break, but Roman is still down and out. Fatu signs his part, and he says they gonna do this! It is official, and as it looks, Fatu has the advantage! Will nothing stop the Samoan Werewolf from sinking his teeth deep into Roman? Or can Roman find a way to survive?
My Thoughts:
A great Raw here as the go-home to Backlash, but with some great stuff that also had nothing to do with Backlash. Very good promos from Judgment Day, and I just knew Liv was gonna confront Roxie about Finn sneaking in. Her mentioning watching it back on Netflix was also a good detail, as they can reference it later if Roxie really does end up helping Finn as the mole. They were acting like enemies cuz they didn’t want the secret being exposed by cameras. But in the end, Judgment Day of course made sure Finn lost, but there might be hope for allies if Bayley & Lyra are gonna get in Judgment Day’s way of the women’s tag titles. Mixed Six Tag maybe?
Great 2v2 tag of Penta & Evans VS Rusev & Ethan, and the Heels winning out makes sense given Penta is a Face champion. Rusev will likely be betrayed by Ethan so that Ethan gets the title shot, only for Penta to win out. Great first match for the Oba Femi Open Challenge, Oba continues to build his power on main roster by just showing his physical power in throwing Otis. Very good promo from Sol and Becky, that’s clearly Becky’s first title defense right there, but I would think Becky cheats to win. Though, I can’t really see what Sol could do after she loses so maybe Sol should win to humble Becky? Plus, they can just have a rematch after.
Great stuff with all the Americanos, especially with how convoluted it is to cover up the obvious identities of everyone. AAA gives the rest of the story where Gable Americano has escalated things to where even Kaiser Americano’s girlfriend is banned from AAA if Kaiser loses his mask, and that’s pretty wild. But probably also all the more reason we’re about to get Chad Gable back once he’s exposed. Great stuff with The Vision story, such as Rollins interacting with Roman only to get attacked by Bron Breakker. Also, that means Roman didn’t even care that Bron ran past him to go after Rollins, and that’s hilarious.
Hendry VS Theory ending in disqualification was fine, it works for Heels to be sore losers and such. Profits of course made the save, and while Rollins said they’d stay separate, I really do think there’s gonna be some kind of team up before this is over. Obviously, Hendry & Profits VS Vision can happen as a Six Man, and at the very least, they try to help Rollins against Bron when Logan & Theory try to cheat that match. And very good stuff in the story of Roman VS Jacob. Good promo from Usos, very good contract signing promos, especially with Roman referencing some of the real-life stories about Haku fighting off jackasses in bars. Jacob standing tall would suggest he loses, but there’s also SmackDown as a go-home to see if the tides turn at the last minute.
