PLAY BY PLAY
Billie Starkz gets ready backstage.
She calls to the cameraman to come closer. She has a Fatal 4 Way match tonight for WrestleDynasty! She can set herself up for any title match she wants, meaning it’s another chance to prove herself. As cheesy as that sounds- Athena interrupts by saying, “Hellooooo~ Minions~! This is your Fallen Goddess, your Minion Overlord, the inspiration to every division, the American Joshi, but most importantly, the Forever ROH Women’s Champion, to call a MEM: A Minion Empowerment Meeting.”
Athena turns her attention to Billie and says that she knows for some reason, Billie’s had her issues with Athena. Athena doesn’t get it, she’s done nothing wrong, no idea why Billie’s being this rebellious teenager, but tonight, Billie owes Athena the biggest of apologies. So when all the dust settles from “Lil’ Red” and “Ley-Ley” out there, Billie needs to lay down, stare up at the lights, and let Athena get the 1-2-3 so she can start the Athena World Tour! But Billie wants to go to the Tokyo Dome, too… Athena says no one cares what Billie wants! Billie owes Athena for everything Athena has done for her.
Does Billie not get it? When Billie signed that MIT application, it is a legally binding contract that Billie is Athena’s Minion For Life until Athena terminates the deal. So get it together, and see you out there. And after, maybe Athena lets Billie ride on the plane for the world tour. WrestleDynasty, here she comes! Athena happily marches her way out, Billie sighs, and Billie also seethes. Will Billie finally stand up to the bully and be her own person?
WrestleDynasty International Women’s Cup ROH Qualifier Fatal 4 Way: Athena VS Billie Starkz VS Red Velvet VS Leyla Hirsch!
The Fallen Goddess may be the Forever ROH Women’s World Champion, but everyone in this match has equal odds of winning! Will Athena still be as dominant against three opponents? Will Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths finally stand on her own? Will the ROH Women’s World Television Champion be serving L’s left and right? Or will WrestleDynasty be LEGIT with Leyla Hirsch?
Leyla and Velvet, though opponents at Final Battle next week, keep the Code of Honor here. But they don’t want anything to do with Athena or Billie, and the feeling is mutual. The bell rings and the fans rally for Billie. Athena says Billie sucks, Leyla sucks, and Red sucks! But then they all storm up on Athena! Athena says get back, she’s the baddest! Athena bails out, does jumping jacks, but Billie mockingly asks what happened to “baddest hits first?” What about the Tokyo Dome? Leyla and Velvet tie up, Leyla headlocks, but Velvet powers out.

Dustin Rhodes speaks.
“The Righteous like to jump people from behind, and play their so-called mind games. You can jump me from behind. But one thing you don’t understand that after 37 years, no matter how many times I have fallen on my back, I always get back up. There’s no quit in any Rhodes in my family. We are passionate about what we do. So play your little mind games. Yeah, you may have rattled me a little bit and I am kinda pissed off… And Dutch. You specifically have crossed the line, mentioning my father’s name and that bull rope that he gave you. I understand you trained with him, and I understand that he took you under his ring. He saw something in you.
‘But what you don’t understand is the kind of man that Dusty was outside of the ring. He would give his shirt off his back for you, and anybody else that was passionate about our sport, because he loved it. he loved the kids, he loved teaching. And you crossed the line! You don’t understand just how far you’ve gone. Because you’re a sick son of a b*tch for using my dad’s kindness against me. I have been through Hell and walked all through it! Kicked the Devil in his teeth and survived, and survived, and survived. And now it’s on. Final Battle. Historic first-time-ever DOUBLE Bullrope Match for the ROH World Tag Team Championships.”
Dustin picks up his own cowbell and bull rope, and he wants Dutch to know that Sammy Guevara has always had Dustin’s back. And The Sons of Texas are about to deliver The Righteous straight to Hell and leave them to rot forever! Dutch, Vincent, at Final Battle, in Hammerstein, in the city that never sleeps, don’t you EVER mention Dustin’s dad again! Because it will be the last words that you speak! “See you soon, boys.”
The Dark Order speaks.
“We are the Gri-gri-gri, Grizzled Young Veterans!” Well, no, it’s Alex Reynolds & John Silver cosplaying as Zack Gibson & James Drake to make fun of them. But this is also GalaxyCon so cosplaying fits in here. Evil Uno walks over to see this and asks what they’re doing. They’re better than this! No we’re not, mate! They gotta teach the boys a lesson! Uno lets the gag go on as Reynolds continues to be Gibson, and he tells the prospects to take notes. First: Zack Gibson is NOT as handsome as Alex Reynolds! Make sure to write that down! Second: GYV are just Wish.com Dark Order, mates!
But then GYV storm in and Gibson asks if they’re having a laugh! Uno tries to keep the peace but Drake shoves Reynolds! Reynolds storms up but Uno stands in his way! Silver asks what the hell, but Uno takes the GYV towels off Reynolds & Silver to give back to Gibson & Drake. Gibson says they’ll let this go, for Uno’s sake. Uno is better than this. Silver again asks what Uno is doing, but will Uno get his team to take things seriously?
NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Championships: Grizzled Young Veterans VS MXM Collection!
ROH has always been about that crossover, so how’s this: Zack Gibson & James Drake went to Lowell, Massachusetts and won these belts at Fighting Spirit Unleashed. But Mansoor & Mason Madden have been strutting their stuff back and forth between ROH and AEW, hoping to get their hands on any fashionable title belt. Will the Iron Chic & Mahogany Hunk start wearing a lot more blue to go with these titles? Or will they simply learn to #GritYourTeeth?
Well here’s a surprise! MXM still has Johnny TV accompanying them, but he’s apparently agreed to a makeover! And doesn’t seem that into it… Is it the strange bobbles on his necklace? Or that strange looking pinky ring? Johnny lets MXM go to the ring without him, he’ll just lend moral support this time.
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who is NJPW Strong!
The teams sort out and Gibson is already not amused. But Mansoor demands that GYV touch their tips! The fans chant, “Touch Their Tips! Touch Their Tips!” Gibson & Drake are beside themselves, but they reach out, only to leave MXM hanging! The fans boo but Mansoor steps up to Liverpool’s Number One. The bell rings, they tie up, and Gibson waistlocks then arm-drags to wristlock. Mansoor fights up, Gibson wrenches, but Mansoor rolls, kips up, and cartwheels! Mansoor handsprings, wrenches, but Gibson throws him down by his hair! Tag to Drake and GYV double suplex, but Mansoor lands on his feet! And swivels his hips! DOUBLE RUDE AWAKENING!
Mansoor winks at the camera and blows a kiss, then he goes for Drake. Mansoor ROCKS Drake, tags Mason, and MXM mugs Drake. Mason fires body shots over and over, then DOUBLE CHOPS Drake down! The fans fire up and says he’ll make Drake touch tips! Mason steps over Drake’s arm, drags him towards the corner, but Drake resists! The fans fire up as Mason gets closer and closer, but Drake pulls hair! Mason frowns and UPPERCUTS Drake! Mason TOSSES Drake to the corner, tags Mansoor, and he sends Mansoor in for a SPLASH! Mansoor moves aside so Mason can ELBOW Drake! Feed to the atomic drop!
Mansoor dropkicks the legs out, and Mason pulls up to HIP ATTACK! Then MXM touch tips! Cover, ONE!! Drake is tough but Mansoor headlocks. Drake powers up and out, Gibson tags in, and then Drake drops so Gibson can trip Mansoor! Gibson drags Mansoor out but Mansoor DECKS Gibson! Mansoor looms over Gibson, but Drake DIVES onto Mansoor!

Cover, TWO!! Mansoor survives and the fans fire up!
GYV argue the count but the ref defends it. The fans rally for Mansoor but Drake brings him up. Drake DECKS Mansoor, tags Gibson, and GYV mugs Mansoor. Gibson asks if Mansoor wants to touch now! Gibson pie faces Mansoor and says jokes don’t win titles. Gibson ROCKS Mansoor, but Mansoor asks, “Is that all you got, you bald bastard?!” Gibson fires more shots, but Mansoor hits back! The fans rally as Mansoor CHOPS, but then Gibson throws another forearm! The shots keep going, but then Gibson fireman’s carries! Mansoor slips free, shoves, and atomic drops to a SPINEBUSTER!
The fans fire up while both men are down! Mason rises up! Mansoor and Gibson crawl, hot tag to Drake, hot tip to Mason! Mason runs up, breaks the clothesline, and DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLES GYV! Then ELBOW in a corner for Gibson! NICO NICO KNEE for Drake! LEG LARIAT for Gibson! Ripcord and SWINGING URENAGE for Drake!! The fans are thunderous and Mason tags in Mansoor!

Gibson & Drake snatch this one away from MXM, and then they get outta there before Mason can run up on them. GYV mock the tip touch, but will MXM still find a way to be wrestling’s next top tag team?
Paul Wight speaks.
“ROH fans, Paul Wight here with some exciting news! Former ROH World Champion returning to competition, the one, the only, Jay Lethal!” Lethal has his macho handshake ready and says put ‘er there, Paul! They shake hands and Lethal says it is an honor to be returning to ROH. And at Final Battle of all places! That show is set to be incredible. But if they could get that conversation from earlier today… Oh, he wants to have that conversation on air? Lethal says why not, cameras are here. Wight says okay, and Lethal says it is his number one priority to get back to the top of the ROH marquee. He is telling us right now, it is 100% doable.
Wight agrees, and Lethal is also wondering, who is he facing at Final Battle? Hopefully whoever it is, it gets Lethal back in the title picture. Because Wight knows, Lethal loves gold. But in steps QT Marshall & Aaron Solo, and QT wants everyone to hold on. Title picture? Is that what ROH is doing now? Just handing out title matches? QT apologizes to “Mr. Wight” and sits down at the table. QT wants to talk with Wight. There’s no heat from Full Gear. QT gets that Wight was just standing up for The Rizzler. But QT has heat with Lethal! Lethal wants to talk about the top of the marquee, but QT couldn’t have laid it out any easier! QT VS Lethal at Final Battle!
Uh, no, Lethal doesn’t want to do that. Oh, he doesn’t wanna do that? Does Lethal have bigger fish to fry? What has Lethal been doing? All QT remembers about Lethal is going “0 for the century” in the Continental Classic. How about this? Lethal isn’t even in this year’s C2! And Lethal’s shirt (a Macho Man tribute) shows he is just fixated on rekindling an old flame that was never that hot to begin with. Lethal gets heated and QT says hold on, hold on. QT read the room wrong. But QT will never ask for another match against Lethal. QT is sure Wight has some great ideas for Lethal to rekindle that flame.
So after all that and it doesn’t work out, Lethal can rest assured knowing he’ll always have a spot carrying QT’s bags like he does for Jeff Jarrett. Lethal grabs QT from across the table! Sonjay Dutt, Solo and Wight break it up! This does not happen in his office. Wight tells Lethal has business to handle with QT, so it will be Lethal VS QT at Final Battle. After that, they can talk about Lethal’s bright future in ROH. QT thanks Wight, high-fives with Solo and says, “It worked!” as he and Solo get out of there. QT goaded Lethal and Wight into this fight, but will it be QT who faces his DOOOOM~?
ROH Rewind – Final Battle 2021, Fight Without Honor: Shane Taylor VS Kenny King!
If we’re talking about handling business, this match was about that and about staying afloat during some dire times. Desperation turned friends into enemies, was Big Bad Shaney T able to trump the K I N G KING~?
The bell rings and Shane is already egging on King, daring him to hit first. King shrugs, and SPITS WATER in Shane’s face!

PLEASE DON’T DIE!” King CLUBS away on Shane, but he just adjusts position! SUPER BLOCKBUSTER down through the tables!! The fans lose their minds, and King has a bit of a grin as he sits up from the wreckage.

King tells the ref to back off, and then he runs up, but Shane catches him! URENAGE onto the trash can!
King writhes after the can dents from his body! The fans cheer on “S T P! S T P!” Shane storms up on King with a kendo stick now! King asks for mercy, but Shane just SMACKS him instead! Shane SMACKS King again, and again, and again! It is all payback for earlier, with interest! The fans fire up as Shane goes out and fetches a new table! Shane brings that over to the ramp side, then fetches King. King fires hands but Shane CLUBS him on the back. Shane brings King over, and DECKS him onto the table! King sputters while Shane goes up to the apron. Fans fire up again as Shane runs up, SPLASH DOWN through the table!!
The fans are thunderous as Shane gets himself free of the wreckage. Shane rises up, goes to the other side of the ring, and he brings out a FOURTH table! It’s covered in streamers but Shane clears those off as best he can before putting the table in the ring. The table is propped up in the corner, and Shane hauls King up for a scoop! Shane runs up, but King slips free! EDDY GORDO KICK! Fireman’s carry! ROLLING DEATH VALLEY into the table!! The fans are thunderous again as King covers, TWO!! Shane survives and King is beside himself! The fans rally for STP again, but King goes out to look at what’s left.
King goes with the ladder! And it’s a tall one! King manages to make a bridge between ring and barrier, and the fans already anticipate something painful. But then King gets a second ladder, puts it in the ring, but Shane grabs the other tall ladder! King hurries to SMACK Shane with a kendo stick first! And then SMACKS him again! King takes ownership of the ladder, and does his best to position that in the corner. The ladder stands tall, but Shane is back with a kendo stick! Shane SMACKS King in the gut! More payback with another SMACK to the back! King pushes wreckage out of the way before he goes out again.
Shane fetches one more ladder and puts it in the ring. Shane stands that fourth ladder up near a corner, opposite of the tall one. Then Shane takes the odd ladder out and makes a bridge between everything. King just lets him do it, then he SMACKS Shane on the back! King CHOKES Shane with the kendo stick, pushes Shane onto that bridge, and then CLUBS him down! King climbs up and the fans are already freaking out! King goes up, and up, and up!

Shane Taylor speaks.
“‘Someone like you isn’t meant to be champion. Your job is to sing, dance, and entertain. There’s nothing that you can do to change this game. People like you need to know your place.’ I heard it all before. Shane Taylor Promotions, we know our place in the game. It’s just not where you want. We’re coming for everything. And there’s nothing, nothing, you can do about it. Rumble, bad man, rumble.” Will 2025 be the Year of STP?

And Dutch is storming down to the ring with the Dusty Rhodes cowbell! But Vincent has a mic to tell Dutch to wait. Dutch grins at Dustin, and Vincent says, “Hello, gentlemen. So… You wanna fight tonight?” The fans wanna see it! Vincent chuckles and says, “Since I’m such a nice guy… I’ll let everybody here decide.” The fans like that! Vincent asks Columbus, Ohio if they wanna see it tonight. The fans say yes, they do!

ROH Pure Championship: Lee Moriarty VS Matt Taven!
Shane Taylor Promotions is looking to take over, but the ROH Grand Slam Champion is looking to become a FIVE-STAR Champion! Will THE Matt Taven be able to complete ROH bingo? Or is #TAIGASTYLE just too wild?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly Pure!
For this title match, we have a ONE HOUR time limit! And should this somehow go to that time limit, our judges for tonight are Christopher Daniels, Jerry Lynn & Nigel McGuinness. The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the fans fire up for Taven. That might be in part because Lee is from Pittsburgh and this is Ohio, but Taven is a long standing staple of ROH. The two circle, feel things out, then tie up. Lee waistlocks, spins and wrenches Taven to a wristlock, but Taven wrenches back. Lee spins, slips through, wrenches, and then spins and wrangles Taven to the mat! Taven endures the top wristlock while fans applaud the technical exchange.
Lee talks trash that Taven will never beat him, but Taven fights up. Lee wrangles Taven again, eggs him on, so Taven fights up. The fans rally but Lee again wrangles Taven with the wristlock.

Taven whips, Lee reverses, but Taven goes up and over. Taven slides under, then he DROPKICKS!
The fans cheer and we’re just past 2 minutes as Taven says he’s got something for ya. “IIIII’M Matt Taven!” But Lee cradles him! TWO, and Lee ducks the heel kick! Lee kicks out a leg, and then shouts, “IIIII’M Lee Moriarty!” The fans are torn but Taven ELBOWS Lee away. Taven whips, Lee reverses, but Taven reverses back! Taven suplexes, Lee slips free but Taven spins around to suplex after all! Cover, TWO! Taven is a little frustrated but he drags Lee up. Taven headlocks but Lee throws body shots. Fans rally as Lee powers up and out. Taven ends up in a corner, Lee runs up and SOBATS! Taven sputters, was that a liver shot?
The ref checks Taven and we’re only past 3:30. Taven grits his teeth, stands up, and he catches his breath. Lee uses the opening to LARIAT in the corner! Lee RAMS Taven again and again, then pie faces him. Lee claps at Taven at 4 minutes, then KICKS him in the back. Taven is in the corner, and Lee CLAWS Taven’s back! The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but Lee brings Taven up in a clinch. Lee fires knees, then whips Taven to ropes, kitchen sink knee! Cover, TWO! Taven stays in this but Lee stays on him with a rear bearhug! The fans rally, Taven fights up, and Taven pries at the hold. Lee shifts for a COBRA TWIST!
Taven endures as Lee adds an arm to the hold! Taven fights and falls, ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Lee steps back, and that is Taven’s first of three. Lee nods and likes how this is going. Lee hauls Taven up, snapmares him, then KICKS him in the back! Lee claps, the fans are torn, but Lee soaks up both cheers and jeers. Lee then KICKS Taven in the chest! Taven sputters but he toughs it out. Lee says Taven is not on his level, but then Taven snapmares to a ghost pin! TWO, but Taven floats to go for a crossface! Lee slips out, he goes for the same! BORDER CITY STRETCH! Taven fights around fast but he’s still far from ropes!
Lee stomps away on Taven’s free arm! Taven kicks around and uses his legs for the ROPEBREAK! We’re at 6:30 but Taven’s already used up his second! Lee grins, he has Taven right where he wants him! Taven wrenches and whips for a kitchen sink knee! And then another! But Taven rolls Lee! Lee slips free, HEEL KICK from Taven! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Taven pounds the mat, the fans rally behind him, and both men rise. Lee puts his dukes up, but Taven bobs ‘n’ weaves. Taven ROCKS Lee with a forearm, then hits an atomic drop! Taven runs to LARIAT! The fans rally up, Lee takes as swing, but Taven ducks!
Taven ripcords Lee, and hits the FLATLINER! Taven still wants his crossface but Lee slips free! Lee waistlocks, Taven switches, but Lee switches back! Lee goes for the schoolboy but Taven steps over, rolls away, and then comes back with JUST THE TIP of the knee! Cover, TWO! Lee stays in this as we pass 8 minutes. Taven stays focused and the fans rally up. Taven stands Lee up but Lee wrenches and has the wristlock! Lee wrangles Taven and SNAPS fingers! The fans fire up as Lee acts like a Villain! Then DISCUS LARIAT! But Lee isn’t done, he hauls Taven up to wrench, crisscross, and STRAITJACKET FACEBUSTER!
Lee then clamps on the BORDER CITY STRETCH!! Taven flails, reaches out, ROPEBREAK!! That’s Taven’s last one and we’re only at 9 minutes! Lee lets go and is all the more confident. Lee goes back to Taven but Taven DUMPS him out! Taven aims and TORNILLO PLANCHAS! The fans fire up and Taven brings Lee up. Taven puts Lee in, climbs a corner, and FROG SPLASHES!! But the pain in his ribs and chest keep him from holding the cover! Taven has to crawl back for Lee, covers, TWO! But into Taven’s HEAD ‘N’ ARM CROSSFACE! Lee fights, pulls hair, then has the ROPEBREAK! Taven lets go, Lee uses his first.
The fans fire up but Taven protests about the hair. Taven drags Lee up but Lee ROCKS him! Closed fist!! That’s Lee’s free shot, if he does it again he is disqualified and loses the title! Lee runs up, but into a SUPERKICK! Lee staggers around, flops against ropes, but Taven runs up. Lee BOOTS Taven! Taven comes back, but Lee goes up and over, ROPE OCTOPUS!! The ref asks Taven because there are no ropebreaks anymore! Taven TAPS, Lee wins!
Winner: Lee Moriarty, by submission (still ROH Pure Champion)
At 11 minutes, 18 seconds, Lee Moriarty puts away the ROH Grand Slam Champion! Shane Taylor Promotions appear to celebrate with “The BEST Technical Wrestler on the Planet!” Bring anyone you’ve got, he’ll beat them, too! Who will step up and test themselves against #TAIGASTYLE?
Athena speaks.
The Fallen Goddess is backstage again, thanks “Not Lexy” Ian Riccaboni for the cue, and says speaking of Bestie, Athena hopes Lexy’s all-expenses-paid vacation in the Bahamas, courtesy of your Overlord, and also Tony Khan’s black card. Charge whatever you want, girl! Only the best for Lexy. But now, let’s talk Final Battle. Athena, the Forever ROH Women’s World Champion, the Minion Overlord, the inspiration to every division, the American Josh, and countless other nicknames, has every porcelain hussy scared to face her! So Athena will just have to skip Final Battle and go on her WORLD~ TOUR~!
Athena is ready for WrestleDynasty and its Fatal 4 Way International Women’s Cup “against three other porcelain hussies from around the world.” But we all know the Minion Overlord will win and finally get back to AEW! But then Billie Starkz storms in and asks, “Are you kidding me?! The hell was that?!” Athena asks Billie if she’s insistent on interrupting her? Billie says yes, and Athena asks why. WHY!? Billie wants to know what was that out in the ring? She wants Billie to just lie down?! Athena says they talked about this! Billie owes Athena an apology. Athena has done nothing but help Billie time and time again.
Billie says Athena’s done NOTHING for her! Nothing?! Has Athena not taken Billie under her wing, told her how to win the ROH Women’s TV Championship? And Billie’s the one who goes and messes it up doing it her way to LOSE Athena’s title! Athena is still here trying to make things work with Billie, and Athena just doesn’t understand what to do. Oh, well, since this is all Billie’s fault, and Athena wants to get an apology out of her… How about they fight instead? At Final Battle! Athena laughs that off. An apology at Final Battle? Y’know what? Athena gets it. They’ll put on a great show, Billie will throw it for Athena, it’ll be great.
So yes! Billie! Fake anger! Athena “hates” Billie so much for how she “disgraced” MIT! At Final Battle, December 20th, it will be Athena VS Billie Round 2 as Athena makes history headlining the Hammerstein Ballroom! And Billie will be the one that stares the light when they face off for the ROH Women’s World Championship! And then, once Athena wins and gets another historic victory, she’ll go on her WORLD~ TOUR~! Billie doesn’t understand Athena, but at least she gets her title match! Will Billie finally put Athena in her place? Or is that ego just going to grow and grow on its way to WrestleDynasty?
Tony Schiavone is here!
He’s in the ring and notes that one week ago, ROH World Champion Chris Jericho put out a challenge to any New York wrestler to face him for the title. That challenge was answered, and this is now the official contract signing for Final Battle’s main event, the ROH World Championship! First of all, the champion, The Learning Tree, Chris Jericho! The fans are a bit torn as The Nueve makes his way out here. And instead of wearing his goofy Nueve cowboy hat, he wears a New York Yankees hat as the self-proclaimed “King of New York.” Jericho waves to the fans, but Schiavone welcomes out the challenger, #AlwayZReady, Matt Cardona!
The fans fire up as the King of the Deathmatch makes his way out! Cardona joins Schiavone and Jericho in the ring and the fans chant “Always Ready!” Schiavone says in just over a week, ROH returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and he doesn’t have to tell them how big of a moment this is for ROH. Jericho says first of all… He waves to the fans and the fans boo, so then Jericho flips them off! That’s what they get for cheering Cardona when Jericho is here. The fans continue to chant “Always Ready!” to spite Jericho. Jericho says typical Kansas City, always a step behind.
And typical Schiavone in demeaning Jericho’s legacy. He isn’t just ROH World Champion, he’s the Nueve! NINE-TIME World Champion! Nine times! That’s more than the Chiefs and the Royals combined! The fans boo but Jericho says it’s true. Not only that, Jericho is the Learning Tree, teaching lessons to people every day of his life. And on top of that, he is the King of New York! Cardona speaks up but Jericho talks over him to say he wasn’t done, don’t be rude. The fans chant “You’re From Canada! You’re From Canada!” Jericho says he can’t understand their KC accent.
But Jericho tells Cardona just how lucky he is to be granted this chance at the ROH World Championship. Cardona’s accomplished so much in his career, but just being in the ring with Jericho puts Cardona on a different level, “amirite?” So Jericho will congratulate Cardona for having the biggest match of his career at Final Battle in the Hammerstein ballroom. But Jericho also wants to warn Cardona. There is no way Cardona takes the world title from Jericho. There is no way that Cardona can beat Jericho. There is no way Cardona conquers the King of New York! Cardona says in New York City-
Jericho again interrupts by saying, “And on top of that…” The fans keep reminding Jericho he is Canadian, but Jericho changes it to, “You’re From New York!” Cardona tells Chris to just shut up! The fans cheer as Cardona says he is sick of Jericho running his mouth! Cardona knows Schiavone’s sick of it, and he knows the fans are sick of it! The fans cheer that, too! Cardona says everything that comes out of Jericho’s mouth is just 100% BS! He doesn’t fool Cardona! Jericho is a fake, a phony, a fraud! Everything about Jericho is fake! That smile is fake! This “King of New York” stuff is fake, and his love of ROH is fake!
Jericho doesn’t give a damn about ROH! Jericho is LEECHING off ROH! Jericho is using ROH like he’s used everyone and everything else. Cardona assures Schiavone he has this. Cardona tells Jericho that Final Battle isn’t just the biggest opportunity of his career, it is the biggest opportunity of his LIFE! And he will not let this slip through his fingers. Final Battle isn’t about shutting Jericho up, it isn’t about seeing who’s the King of New York, and it isn’t about proving the doubters wrong. It is about proving himself right! Cardona does that by beating Jericho to become the NEW ROH World Champion!
The fans cheer and Cardona writes his name down on the contract! Then he lets Jericho have his turn. Jericho borrows Schiavone’s pen and asks Schiavone to exit the ring. Schiavone hops outside, and Jericho picks up the contract. The fans tell him to sign it, and Jericho… hesitates? Cardona asks what’s going on here, but Jericho still stalls. Jericho pushes himself to do this, and he writes his name down! The contract is signed, the match is official, and Jericho asks for a handshake. Cardona is now the hesitant one, but he still takes it! To then whip Jericho into Bryan Keith! Cardona heard the footsteps and hits the Bad Apple first!
Jericho staggers, into a RADIO SILENCE LEG LARIAT! Keith gets up but Cardona DECKS him! Then Cardona picks Jericho up, SPINEBUSTER through the table! The fans fire up for The Complete Cardona, and he snatches that belt up! He’s #AlwayZReady, but will Cardona stand tall at the end of Final Battle? Or will the Learning Tree have something up his sleeve?
My Thoughts:
A good episode of ROH, but just over two hours is a lot. Especially when you give the ROH Pure Championship match a 60 minute time limit but don’t even go past 15. I know the idea is Taven is newer to Pure Rules, there still could’ve been more. But with Shane’s very good (but apparently out of sync) promo vignette, and that ROH Rewind of that awesome Fight Without Honor, maybe STP does start making moves on all the titles in ROH. We’re getting good stories in all the other divisions, STP could probably be a faction that actually hits all divisions better than Death Riders are doing that in AEW.
Athena’s story as Women’s World Champion is going just as I’ve been saying. She won that great Fatal 4 Way to now head for WrestleDynasty, but they also bring this story with Billie into it where this is Billie’s last straw. I did like the promo after the Fatal 4 where Athena thinks Billie wants to pretend to fight, and I would love that once the bell rings, Billie hits Athena full force and Athena realizes she’s in for a real fight. As I’ve been saying, Billie should win, it’s the only thing that makes sense. And then as Athena implied tonight, she’ll move up to AEW after this. Whether or not it’s with the International Women’s Cup, that really depends on who from CMLL and Stardom shows up, but either way, Athena heads for an AEW title in 2025.
Really good stuff from Outrunners with Premier Athletes, great stuff with Liona and Lee Johnson, and even a good stare down of Liona and EJ Nduka. Madison Rayne VS Allysin Kay was good but I still feel like Madison moves a little slower than she should. Still nice for her to win in front of Columbus, Ohio, her hometown, but that was about it. Funny bit with Dark Order mocking GYV, though ironically, it should’ve been Silver as Gibson and Reynolds as Drake because of bald and hair and such. Great match from GYV VS MXM but of course GYV win with the titles on the line. I am pretty sure Dark Order will get a shot, too, but GYV will still win.
Very good promo from Dustin, and of course he and Sammy get a win, but also good appearance from The Righteous. We’ll get an awesome Double Bull Rope Tag Team match for the ROH titles, and I still see it as Righteous potentially winning the titles but Dustin getting a moral victory by taking Dusty Rhodes’ cowbell back. Or if Infantry is going after the titles on behalf of STP, I could see The Sons of Texas having it all, the titles and the cowbell, so they have a lot of momentum going into 2025 to face Dean & Bravo.
And a good contract signing segment to close the show, which went about how we’d all expect. Jericho was obnoxious, Cardona told him to shut up, Cardona vowed to win, and then Cardona thwarted the sneak attack so he could stand tall. That is because, under go-home math, Cardona is going to lose at Final Battle. He’ll beat Keith tomorrow on Rampage, but he’ll lose to Jericho in New York, perhaps by Jericho cheating.
My Score: 8.7/10

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?
10 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks VS Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay, Clark Connors & FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway!
While we know the AEW World Tag Team Championship match will be a conglomeration of I Quit Match and New York Street Fight, THE Conglomeration will be waiting on the other side for their own tag title match. And let’s not forget that Matt & Nick Jackson want their own shot at those titles again. With that, can Freshly Squeezed work together with C&C and The Bucks? Or will the Psycho Killer, the Dogs, and the Top Guys all stand tall on the road to Double or Nothing?

Cassidy kicks and kicks but Ciampa drags him back! Cassidy turns to BOOT Ciampa away! Dax tags in and he CLOBBERS Cassidy! The fans boo but Dax flips them off.

FTR whips, DOUBLE HIP- NO, Nick lands out, MEETING OF TEH MINDS! Then DOUBLE WHEEL KICK! The fans fire up as Nick then DROPKICKS Dax out! The Dogs run up, but Nick knuckle locks and CHOPS Finlay! Then Nick jumps over Connors, SUPERKICKS, and he goes for the corner!
Nick goes up, up, and “LUCHA LIBRE~!” FLYING ARM-DRAG RANA COMBO! The fans are thunderous and Nick tags Matt. Nick whips Finlay, Finlay reverses, but Nick goes up and over. Matt SUPERKICKS Finlay! Nick SHINING WIZARDS Connors, adds a GAMANGIRI, then The Bucks DOUBLE BULLDOG with the high-five! The fans fire up again as Matt winds up.

Cope drags Connors up, whips him to the corner, then Nick runs up! Connors puts Nick out, then he puts Matt out!

Winners: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks, by pinfall
Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?

They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags!

Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores!

They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
