Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 1.16.25

The Go Home for Genesis this Sunday! Let’s see what happens!

Published

on

So Genesis is Sunday, followed by next week’s Live Episode of iMPACT! Let’s see exactly how we get to Genesis and not to bury the lead, the fact the WWE/TNA partnership was extended for a few years is very big news for TNA. More visibility for a nostalgic brand and the younger NXT wrestlers get more opportunities with potential sprinkles of a big name here or there (yes I only really mean AJ Styles, but that’s what we all want to see one more time).

Let’s get to the show and see if it’s a Go Home worth anything.

Ratings:

  • Trent Seven vs Leon Slater: Slater wins via Swanton 450 – *
  • Fir$t Cla$$ vs Maniac Marines (Eric Young & Steve Maclin): EY wins via Macho Elbow – ** 3/4
  • Laredo Kid vs Jake Something: Jakes wins via Avalanche Something Bomb – **
  • The Hardys vs Ohio Versus Frankenstein (Sami Callihan & PCO): Hardys win via Crouton Bomb – ***

 

Results:

Trent Seven vs Leon Slater

British on British violence! I just appreciate that Trent’s theme is a down tuned remix of Seven Nation Army. 

A little back and forth until Slater hits a Reverse Gamengiri, Trent tries to climb back to the apron after the powder, eats a Shotgun Kick. Trent dodges the dive, and Suplexes Leon down the steps at Center Stage. I feel like Slater over sold the spot, but I suppose using your surroundings is always interesting. Leon slides in at 9.5, Trent gets a little cocky and Leon hits two Flash Cradles for near falls, as Trent is reeling from the quick pinfall attempts he eats another Shotgun Kick for a near fall. Trent sells to the corner, eats a Jumping Bootwash, Leon perches Trent, goes for possibly a Spanish Fly but Trent turns it into an Avalanche Flowsion for two!

Bop and Bang, 7 Star Lariat, Piledriver with flourish and…still a two. Birminghammer attempt but Slater flips out of it, Crucifix pinfall for two, Uppercut by Trent and Birminghammer is hit! But Slater…kicks…out? He sells a Suplex where he slides down steps like death, but eats huge signature and finishing moves and kicks out. The psychology in this match is non-existent. Trent does the Finger Break, Leon sells away, hits another Shotgun Kick and Trent powders. X Plex gets reversed into a DDT from Slater. Trent powders off the Ramp, Leon goes to the entrance way runs and jumps off the ramp, then hits the Swanton 450.

Completely stupid match with spots that make no sense. All sizzle no steak, so dumb my IQ dropped 5 points.

The Elegance Clique have a “Pre-Launch Championship Celebration”. Tom Hannifan hates it, the crowd hates it, and the Personal Concierge uncovers a cardboard cut out with a Knockouts Title around their waists…and they are size accurate. Heather is like a My Size Barbie. Ash gives a very cringey speech where she thanks everyone except Heather, the Concierge passes the mic to Heather, Spitfire interrupts of course, and at least Dani cuts the promo to start so it’s tolerable. Yeah this is painfully bad cringe, as much as I didn’t mind the Ash gimmick to start with, this is lame. The only thing saving the segment is the crowd is hot for the the Elegance Clique getting their stuff ruined. So it was lame, but the crowd was into it and Ash sold the destruction of cardboard cut outs like Spitfire just murdered her puppy. 

Well the first 40 minutes of this show are making me wish for a stroke instead of watching this. So hopefully it picks up somewhere. 

Fir$t Cla$$ vs Maniac Marines (Eric Young & Steve Maclin)

KC flips out of two of EY’s Back Body Drops and does his “First Class” taunt, so EY just slaps him upside the head and tags in Maclin to start beating on Navarro. I do really like KC’s work. He’s like WWE Lio Rush, but likable and talented. Maclin is beating the hell out of KC though, Lariats him out, goes for the SCUD, but AJ low bridges so Maclin crashes to the outside, KC hits the Tope con Hilo with blind tag so AJ is now legal and they start working over Maclin in the corner. Tennessee Whiskey, and there does seem to be a few First Class fans in the crowd.

Navarro is back in for the 305, quick tags though to keep Maclin eating offense. Splash into Big Boot into Assisted Splash while AJ leans on Maclin literally. KC starts picking on kids in the crowd near Judd Normand, he shoves the actor, the actor shoves him back and AJ comes over to mad dog the actor. Maclin takes advantage of the distraction and drops AJ on the way back in with an Olympic Slam, tags in EY and EY comes out hot. KC tags in, EY levels KC and they start messing around in the corner, AJ tries to break it up but eats a Busaiku Knee from Maclin and then a SCUD. EY manages to throw KC off the turnbuckle and then hit the Macho Elbow for the win.

After the match Eddie, Lish and Brian Myers stand at the entrance way to send a message but not cause any real chaos. 

Josh Alexander and his two bitch boys come out to cut a promo on Santana or something. I am about as interested in this as I am in Norwegian Dog Sledding. Josh trying to say Santana is too hurt to go at Genesis when we all know this was filmed the same time like a month ago. You really can’t do doofus attempts a story when you’re promoting the first live episode in nearly a decade or something for next week. At least the match should be good because this build is lame, the jabronis are useless, “Bald Ass Head” is the big insult…sheeeesh. 

Laredo Kid vs Jake Something

Well…someone has to win this match, so there’s that.

Nothing special start until Jake comes off the ropes and runs over Laredo sending him flying over the ropes onto the ramp. Jake panders to the crowd, Laredo tries to get something going but Jake steps on his foot to stop any Lucha things, and mollywops him. Jake runs him corner to corner until Laredo moves, strings a few moves together, tries to fly and then gets knocked out of the sky with a Forearm. Only a two count for Jake, but Laredo is definitely doing his best impression of a pinata so far in the match. Laredo gets a desperation Satellite DDT, misses his big attempt, but Jake misses the Spear in the corner, La Magistral gets a 2, a few bad spots from Laredo where it looks like he missed a Satellite Facebuster and sloppy Essex or Canadian Destroyer. Laredo goes to the top, Jake bear paw slap, goes up top and Avalanche Something Bomb for the win.

The Hardys vs Ohio Versus Frankenstein (Sami Callihan & PCO)

Before the Hardys intro, the 23 thing flashes a few times again. So at least they didn’t forget that.

Sami starts with Jeff and gets in a few early shots and goads Jeff with Hardys taunts, then all four get in, throw hands and we go to commercial. We come back from commercial to Matt Delete Turnbuckling Sami, and then Poetry In Motion the classic way! A few quick tags, but Sami eventually knocks down Matt, tags in PCO, Matt’s moves aren’t very effective, Jeff throws himself in too and they get their asses beat by PCO. PCO tags in Sami, Sami slaps around Matt, drags his face across the ropes, tags PCO back in and uses PCO as a battering ram into Matt’s chest. PCO keeps Matt in their corner, tags back in Sami, some simple tandem work and a short 2 count for Sami. Sami calls PCO back in and they’re formulating a tag move, they try the Double Back Drop, but Matt turns it into a Double DDT instead.

Jeff tries to fight them both off, Sami grabs Jeff, PCO goes for the Lariat, malfunction at the junction, Whisper in the Wind mostly hits PCO so Jeff Splashes Sami. Twist of Hate, Twist of Fate, Swanton Bomb from Jeff and the Hardy Boys win!

Before the obligatory contract signing on the Go Home before a PPV, Jordynne walks over to the announce table with the contract for her match with Tessa. Says she’ll leave it with them so she can’t miss it, but hey, “if she doesn’t show up at Genesis it wouldn’t be the first time”. That’s funny. 

Joe starts the promo saying he has to win, but its on him to take the title from Nic. There’s an intensity, so it’s not all cornball jokes and shenanigans. That’s kinda nice to start with. Nic takes the babyface angle of “you’re not wrong but I don’t think you’re ready yet kid”. Then he plays the JBL clip from Bound for Glory. Nic tries to use the video to clear his name because Ryan got attacked too. Joe is about to poke a hole in the defense but then Hollywood Abyss Mokuba shows up. “MY BROTHER SETO” Ryan interferes, Nic tries to stop the stupidity but Ryan plows through is about to eat a Standing Ovation but Nic Superkicks Joe to save Mokuba. Nic does stand there as the crowd chants “kick your brother”, but Nic doesn’t pull the trigger but you can tell he’s contemplating. 

OH! Sexy Tessy shows up, signs the contract but Jordynne was waiting for her and leaves Tessa laying with a Grace Driver and solid intensity. Okay most of the show was kinda mid but the ending was pretty solid.

Overall Score: 6.25/10

As I said at the very end, most of this show was mid…or mediocre for the older crowd. Indie Spotfest Dumbassery to kick off the show, a few segments that made me question if I was tasting pennies, a decent match with First Class, the stalled push never relevant squad match between Jake and Laredo, and at least the main event match was fun.

The video packages always feel lackluster because the only people really watching TNA currently are hardcore fans. I never really see too many people pull the whole “whoa first TNA episode in 11 years and I decided on the random Go Home instead of the first live episode since 2015”. See, this is why logic matters in booking. WWE gets to have the mentality of “it could be someone’s first time watching it” every week because they the biggest show in town. The name alone will garner random views or transient lapsed fans if they get a whiff of something. However when it comes down to TNA, people are only surprised its still alive.

Even with many questionable hours it wasn’t terrible. It did fine…plus like I just said, there’s opportunity for more random eyes thanks to the WWE merger AND a live episode next week. So the Go Home format won’t change, but hopefully the exposure gives us more congruent storylines.

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.6.2025

Can the Nemeths take the titles off of the IWCs favorite tag team Fraxiom?

Published

on

Fandango (JDC) made an appearance on NXT television, Joe Hendry was in the Royal Rumble, and TNA got plenty of name drops between all of the WWE programming. So it’s nice to see this partnership is coming off very healthy early on.

Ratings:

  • Tyson Dupont w/Wes Lee & Tyriek Igwe vs Ace Austin: Ace wins via The Fold – ** 3/4
  • 10 Knockouts Battle Royale: Rosemary vs Jody Threat vs Dani Luna vs Ash by Elegance vs Heather by Elegance vs Tasha Steelz vs Alisha Edwards vs Jazz vs Savannah Evans vs Xia Brookside: Savannah Evans wins the title shot – ** 1/2
  • The Hardy Boyz & Leon Slater vs The System: Jeff wins via Swanton Bomb – ***
  • Matt Cardona vs Mike Santana: Santana wins via Spin the Block – ** 1/2
  • NXT Tag Team Championships: Kaiba Boys (Nic & Ryan Nemeth) vs Fraxiom (c) : Fraxiom retains via Ryan is an Idiot – *** 1/2

 

Results:

Joe Hendry comes out to kick off the show with his concert, and he opens with a “We Are The Champions” parody of “Hendry Is The Champion”. Next song is “Joe Hendry Won the Belt” which is pretty solid and a little arrogant, but so is his entire shtick, then he calls the trope and starts up a song with “This Is The Part Where Somebody Cuts Me Off” and that Somebody…is SOMETHING, Jake SOMETHING. Jake says he talked to Santino for a title shot next week…okay. 

There’s a backstage interview with Masha, and yeah…she sounds very lame when speaking English. The aura is gone, she’s still a great wrestler but hot damn are her promos like Chinese Water Torture.

Tyson Dupont w/Wes Lee & Tyriek Igwe vs Ace Austin

Collar and Elbow ties ups start things off slow until Tyson takes a cheap shot during a break and then runs Ace over off the ropes. Ace tries the Hip Toss but fails, Tyson counters with one of his own, Ace lands on his feet, rolls backwards, chops at the legs with some Sweep Kicks and then gets a quick 2 with a La Magistral. Ace keeps the strikes and Cradles flowing until Tyson sandbags him during an ill advised Suplex attempt, Ace tries something off the ropes to regain momentum but eats a Pop-Up Powerslam for two! Tyson with back to back Stinger Splashes, Whips Ace chest first into the corner, Ace bounces out and turns around to eats a Corkscrew European Uppercut for another near fall.

Tyson tries to take the fight out of Ace with the Full Nelson, but Ace is energized by the crowd. Ace uses the corner and his knees to break the Full Nelson, almost eats another Pop-Up but Full Extension Dropkick gives Ace new life. Rockstar Kick Combo, Russian Leg Sweep, Click Click Boom for two and Ace keeps chopping at the bigger man with Round Kicks to the lower body. Tyson goes for the Warrior Splash and MISSES! Ace turns that into a Fold off the ropes and wins!

Post match beating and The Rascalz show up for the save.

10 Knockouts Battle Royale: Rosemary vs Jody Threat vs Dani Luna vs Ash by Elegance vs Heather by Elegance vs Tasha Steelz vs Alisha Edwards vs Jazz vs Savannah Evans vs Xia Brookside

Lish decides to mouth off to Jazz immediately and eats The Clamp right off the bat and then hell breaks loose. Cora Jade is on commentary and she’s solid. Lish eliminates Tasha thinking she’s clever and then gets double teamed by Spitfire, so she gets dumped out after her betrayal. Elegance Clique was under the ring but Ash kept her nails visible so Dani pulls her out from under, and Heather was holding on, while Jody gets pulled from the other side. So Dani gets a goofy power spot, Heather gets eliminated, then Dani gets eliminated, Rosemary Spears Jody and eliminates her.

ASH tries to get her, Rosemary and Savannah to attack Jazz and Xia, but Ash doesn’t really attack and Xia and Jazz take control. Ash and Rosemary eliminate Jazz. Xia gets excited and eliminates Rosemary and Ash, Savannah tries to take advantage of the situation but the crowd is all for Xia. Xia manages to get Savannah over the rope to the apron, but Cora gets up off of commentary to distract Xia, Savannah tries a Chokebomb on the apron, Xia fights it off with biting the hand and then eats a headbutt from Savannah to eliminate Xia. So Savannah gets a title shot while Cora Jade mocks Xia for losing.

Eric comes out with the two jabronis and they look even lamer coming out in white hoodies. They look like AEW fans, not professional wrestlers. I love EY leading a group, be it World Elite, SAnitY, Violence by Design or whatever this will be known as…but these dudes are garbage. Steve Maclin interrupts the EY rant, so it should be interesting where Steve lands on this. Maclin asks a great question, why didn’t EY just tell him this was the plan when he knows he earned his trust. Maclin says “As long as they’re with you…I’m not”. So Maclin doesn’t declare himself an enemy, but he just says they’re not cool anymore. Oh and Josh’s music hits. I guess he hasn’t left yet.

Josh is a make-a-wish kid apparently, bald Canadian off, this is like Reptile vs Sub Zero, next week we get EY vs Josh as Josh’s Swan Song. Could be a solid match, so I’m not mad about it…I just hate the jabroni duo. 

The Hardy Boyz & Leon Slater vs The System

Leon and JDC start, things get a little weird but JDC tags out to Eddie, Leon has Arm Drags for all and tags in Matt for a little tandem Extreme Elbow into the hyperextended arm action, Matt tags in Jeff for more tandem Arm attacks on Eddie. More Hardy party, Eddie is eating boots like he’s Tony Atlas. Poetry in Motion the classic way, JDC finally gets sick of watching Eddie get dogwalked, but System is getting stacked up and English Poetry in Motion on JDC and Eddie, Moose got knocked off the apron and a commercial break.

Oh look, Moose had Leon in the corner but Leon was fighting out of it. The other System members try to do something but Leon is fighting them all off, looks to fly, but Lish jumps on the apron to block the dive. Leon jumps over Lish and Moose just catches him with an Apron Bomb. Leon beats the 10 count and Moose just jumps on him and tags in Eddie. Kobashi Chops from Eddie, blind tag from JDC, Rocket Launcher into the Forearm for the Slingshot Elbow and JDC tags in Moose to maintain the pressure.

Eddie tags in and wipes out the Hardys, Blue Thunder Bomb, Senton and Down and Dirty from The System, but the Hardys barely make the save to stop the pinfall. Leon counters JDC’s Brainbuster with a Small Package, Leg Lariat from Leon, simultaneous tag and it’s Jeff and Moose. Jawbreaker for Moose, Mule Kick for Eddie, Manhattan Drop on Moose, Jeff is rolling with the classics. He calls for the Twist, JDC and Eddie break it up so it turns into a schmoz as Leon just Slingshots himself into the System. Feint Kick rocks Moose, Hardys take out the others, Leon wanted to go for his Corner Jump but Moose cuts him off with a Pump Kick. Leon dodges the Lights Out as Moose Posts himself, Leon takes out the other members. Plot Twist from the Hardyz, Jeff lets Leon hit the Swanton 450 first, then Swanton Bomb gives Jeff another pinfall victory over Moose.

This better be leading towards a Jeff X Division Championship shot, because that’s two visible pinfalls now.

Matt Cardona vs Mike Santana

After the typical chicken shit powder into rope retreat, Santana hits a few Chops and starts movin, Cardona tries to powder again but Santana hits the dive to lay out Cardona. He throws Cardona back in the ring, Cardona powders again and trips up Santana on the apron to finally take advantage of things. There is a “We Want Chelsea” chant going as Cardona takes the advantage. Cardona is making more faces at the camera and crowd then connecting with moves that really matter. A few Irish Whips, a Rude Awakening, just very slow and boring since there’s no real tension in this match. Santana counters for a Cradle, Mule Kick after Cardona is back up, a little rope run into the Rolling Buck Fifty, but only for two.

Santana wants to Spin the Block and misses, Enzuigiri from Santana, Cardona tries to catch Santana off the ropes with Radio Silence but Santana turns it into a Spicolli Driver for two! A slow climb up the corner allows Cardona to crotch Santana into the seated position, ReBoot time, Tiger Driver for two. Radio Silence attempt, Santana catches him, Buckle Bomb, Guerrero Frog Splash, SPIN – THE – BLOCK!  Santana wins.

NXT Tag Team Championships: Kaiba Boys (Nic & Ryan Nemeth) vs Fraxiom (c)

Little grounded Greco-Roman wrestling between Nic and Axiom, Frazer blind tag does take Nic by surprise as Frazer runs circles around Nic for a while before a Dropkick connects from Nic and tags in Ryan. Stereo Shot to Heart spot from the Nemeths. Ryan’s offense is purposely kinda corny, and it’s funny when Frazer finally bests him you just very audibly hear the “Oh Shit” and Fraxiom do a little tandem action rush, Locomotion Dives from Fraxiom, Nic counters Frazer, catches Axiom’s foot and then makes Axiom kick Frazer. Arianna is on commentary and its hilariously ditzy. She says something like “That’s really awkward, he kicked his friend…”, it’s so…adorable in a vapid way.

Back from commercial, Ryan is trying to fight back against Axiom, but a blind tag from Frazer, a Poison Rana into Double Superkicks and a Running Shooting Star is a very close two. Ryan slips a Suplex from Frazer for a Cradle, only two but it gives Ryan space to tag out and Frazer tags out so Nic is riding the hot tag, Stinger Splash into his 10 Shots to the Heart Elbow drops, but Axiom kicks out. Axiom goes for a desperation something and Nic connects with a FAMEasser for two! Enzuigiri from Ryan actually connects, Nic tries a quick pinfall but nope only 2. Ryan tags in and cuts off Axiom while pushing him back into the Kaiba corner.

Nic is trying to keep Axiom grounded, and tags back in Ryan, and its just classic isolation offense. Nothing flashy, oh, Ryan posts himself Nic blind tags but Axiom tags out. Rope Run Lariats, Slingblade, Frog Splash from Frazer but only two! Phoenix Splash attempt misses, Implant DDT from Nic for…two and a half. Nic tries to lift up Frazer, but the twisting Enzuigiri drops Nic and Frazer tags in Axiom. Axiom comes in deliberately, a few strikes, but Nic counters, Superkick on Axiom, Frazer slips and Nic Superkicks Frazer, Danger Zone and Hollywood Ending in stereo! 1-2-KICK OUT!  Ryan tries to whip Nic at Axiom, but Axiom moves, Axiom dodges Ryan but then gets grabbed into an Implant DDT from Nic, Ryan tries something but Axiom and Frazer are rolling, Superplex, Golden Ratio, and Nic makes the save! Ryan is looking for something under the ring, Nic admonishes Mokuba for trying to use a chair, Axiom Dropkicks Ryan into Nic, Nic falls out, Ryan eats the finish and Fraxiom retain!

 

Overall Score: 6.5/10

Well…I can’t be too angry at all of this. Yes the Battle Royale was dumb and really just put a spotlight on how pathetic the Knockouts Division is right now, but Tessa’s promo was solid, Mance and Steph was a good promo, Hardyz was a good match, main event was a good match…and nothing was really offensive. Yes I hate the Jabroni Squad with EY now, but they didn’t talk, much like usual, they barely exist. Ace and Tyson had a decent opening match and I am a little interested in what Mustafa is building.

Also we get another Jeff Hardy pins Moose moment, so if this doesn’t turn into Jeff getting the X Division title shot then I’m gonna be Brooklyn confused. I have also finally figured out what Arianna Grace’s whole gimmick is, its just Ariana Grande’s character from Victorious and Sam & Cat. Since I didn’t really watch it closely (not really my generation, but AJ did have random Nickelodeon crap on growing up) it didn’t click until we’ve been hearing her talk more during the TNA commentary, and she does the same air headed, vapid yet adorable way of speaking and comes across with a measure of innocence.

But yeah, an okay show if you ignore the Knockouts. At least the NXT partnership will bolster the weakest part of TNA since NXT does truly have the most stacked women’s division at the moment.

Blake Christian VS Adam Priest!

The “Vanilla Baby” is looking to keep his win streak alive, and maybe even go for some gold. But will Blake continue to act like he isn’t All Heat? Or will Priest pry the truth out of this Christian?

Blake half nelsons, snapmares, and then SLAPS Priest in the face! Blake eggs Priest on and Priest storms up, but Blake hits a headlock takeover. Priest fights to a headscissors and he squeezes tight.

Blake whips Priest, Priest reverses to drop down then arm-drag!

Blake hits a headlock takeover, and he traps Blake’s arm. The fans cheer while Priest grinds Blake down. Blake headscissors, Priest kips free, and then Priest ducks a punch to SLAP Blake in return! The fans cheer and Priest storms up on Blake. Blake bails out, the fans chant, “Let’s Go, Blue Pants!” and Priest gives a thumbs up. Blake storms up but Priest catches him in the ropes! Priest UPPERCUTS Blake, whips, but Blake blocks! Priest tries again but Blake ROUNDHOUSES! Blake throws Priest into the ropes, then he hits a basement 619!

Blake served Priest a #VanillaChokeZero and clearly Priest can’t stand it! Blake doesn’t care if you don’t like the taste, will he still get win after win until he’s golden?

 

Griff Garrison & Preston Vance w/ Cole Karter VS Eli Theseus & Gabriel Aeros!

While the Ivy League MVP, Perro Peligroso & the Diamond in the Rough rejected Jacked Jameson, these three did seem to like his idea of a fighting fraternity. Will Griff & Vance keep their winning ways going? Or will The Parea show their power?

The Code of Honor is not kept as Griff & Vance slap away The Parea’s hands. The teams sort out, Griff starts against Eli, and the bell rings. Griff and Eli tie up, then Griff throws Eli right down!

Griff then BOOTS Eli down! Griff rains down forearms on Eli, then TOSSES him tot he floor! Tag to Vance, then Griff BLASTS Aeros! Vance sends Eli into railing! And then more railing! And then even more railing! The fans are torn but Vance sends Eli back into railing!

Griff hops down and he helps Vance mug Eli! Aeros protests but Vance ROCKS Eli before he slides into the ring. Jameson gets a cheap shot in! Well, it’s clear he still wants to be part of the team. Eli drags himself into the ring but Vance is right on him! Vance suplexes, and he holds Eli up for a count of TEN before the SLAM! Vance taunts Aeros with his own two-step! Vance drags Eli up, bumps him off buckles, then tags Griff. Vance sends Griff in for a LARIAT! Griff CHOPS Eli, sits him down, then taunts Aeros. The refs tops Aeros, and that lets Vance CHOKE Eli! Griff CLUBS Eli, then he tags Vance.

The frat boys mug Eli and the fans rally up. Eli fires body shots but Vance CLUBS him down! Vance says he shut that down real quick. Vance scoops Eli to SLAM him, then says “SUCK IT!” Vance runs to then casually ELBOW DROP! Vance puts Eli in the corner, tags Griff, and the mugging continues. Griff scoops Eli to then flex with one arm! Griff SLAMS Eli, covers, TWO! Griff facelocks Eli to keep him down. The fans rally, Eli endures, and Aeros coaches Eli up. Eli fights up, fires body shots, then BACKDROPS free! The fans rally as Eli and Griff crawl, hot tags to Vance and Aeros! Aeros LARIATS Vance! And ELBOWS him!

Aeros bobs ‘n’ weaves to fire body shots! Vance blocks one but Aeros spins to BACK ELBOW! Griff runs up but Aeros dodges to DROPKICK! Aeros gets air, then he runs to BACK ELBOW Vance in the corner! Aeros fireman’s carries Vance, but Griff makes the save! Vance dodges Aeros, Griff ROLLING ELBOWS him! Vance DISCUS LARIATS Aeros down, then covers, the frat wins!

Winners: Griff Garrison & Preston Vance, by pinfall

Whether or not they needed the help, Jameson did play a part in this. And at least for now, they’re letting him flex with ’em. Will this new quartet soon take over ROH?

 

Backstage “interview” with Athena.

Since Lexy Nair was expelled from MIT, Billie Starkz must now stand in as the interviewer. She says The Fallen Goddess has called an Emergency MEM, and Athena finishes the line, “A Minion Empowerment Meeting.” Athena tells Billie to get it together! It is her job now! But hi, minions~! Forget this one, it is all about her! The Athena World Tour is over, but the Athena World Domination has just begun. Tonight will be no different than any other night of her dominating. Isn’t that right, Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths? Yeah! Tag match! They’ll do great! Uh, no, there is no “we” in this. In fact, Athena got that tag match cancelled.

Athena reminds Billie that Lexy being fired was pivotal in Billie’s development and she meant it. So tonight, Billie will sit there, watch Athena some broad in the face, and learn a lesson! Who is Athena? Tell ’em who she is, Billie! Uh, Athena is the Minion Overlord, American Joshi, the… There’s a whole list. Athena tells Billie to just sit there, shut up, and enjoy Athena’s show. Billie sighs and says, “Got it, boss.” As if Athena wasn’t awful to her before, will Billie ever get the respect she deserves?

 

ROH Women’s World Championship Proving Ground Match: Athena w/ Billie Starkz VS Carolina Cruz!

The Fallen Goddess is 61-0, and that includes never even letting one Proving Ground match reach the ten minute time limit! Will 2025 look no different than 2024, or even 2023? Or can Carolina get ROH under Cruz Control?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and Athena SHOTGUNS Cruz into a corner! Athena then runs up to back body block, then she goes side to side to forearm SMASH! The fans fire up as Athena whips Cruz to ropes, fireman’s carries, and WASTELAND SLAMS! The fans cheer and Athena tells Billie to pay attention. Athena puts Cruz on the ropes, CHOKES her with a cravat, but stops at 4. Billie says she doesn’t think Cruz can breath, and Athena frowns. Athena KICKS Cruz in the side, and she tells Billie this could be her. Billie says she’s been through this already. Cruz fires body shots!

Athena is more annoyed than anything, but then Cruz rolls her up! TWO, and Athena runs up to S T O! Athena rains down fists, HAMMERS away, but the ref counts. Athena shouts that Posey doesn’t tell her what to do! Cruz flounders while Posey cowers back. Athena CLUBS Cruz, UPPERCUTS her, then whips her to ropes. Cruz grabs ropes and BOOTS back! Athena runs up, Cruz slips around to spin and ROCK Athena! Athena swings, but Cruz slips around, BUBBA BOMB! Cover, ONE!! Athena is mad now, but Cruz fires up! Athena blocks the boot to body shot, slip under, and CHOKE SLAM! Athena sits Cruz up to DECK her! High stack cover, Athena wins!

Winner: Athena, by pinfall (denies Carolina Cruz a title opportunity)

The Fallen Goddess’ devastating right hand takes out another one, and then she expects Billie to add on! Billie says she was told to stay seated so she’s staying seated. Athena sets the belt down and drags Cruz over. Athena tells Billie to just shut up and watch. Athena lines up the shot, but Cruz fights back with body shots! Athena staggers away, Billie hurries off, and Athena SUPERKICKS Cruz! Billie tells Athena she’s done enough, but Athena SWINGS Cruz into the railing, and then does it again, and again, and again! Athena keeps going as she dribbles Cruz’s face off the side! Billie pulls Athena off Cruz but Athena shouts that Billie doesn’t tell her what to do!

Athena tells Billie to just sit down and watch! Billie takes her seat again, but now the ref tells Athena to stop. Athena seethes, but she decides to leave it at this. Athena tells Billie to follow her out, and the two leave. Will Billie ever get out from under Athena’s thumb? Will nothing end Athena’s reign of terror?

 

Sammy Guevara VS Mansoor w/ Mason Madden!

The Spanish God dealt with Aaron Solo last week, but the line of could-be contenders is long. Up next is the Sultan of Suave on behalf of MXM Collection. Will Mansoor be able to bring down this Son of Texas? Or will Sammy check another name off the list?

For the Code of Honor, Mansoor wants to touch fingertips with Sammy, so Sammy goes to accept. But then Mansoor flips him off! Was he watching Blake earlier? The bell rings, Sammy and Mansoor circle, and they tie up. They go around, Mansoor headlocks, but Sammy powers up and out, only for Mansoor to pull Sammy’s hair! Mansoor hits a headlock takeover, then he grinds Sammy down. Mason tries to start a chant of “Let’s Go, Mansoor! You’re the prettiest!” but for one, that’s a sloppy fit for the rhythm. Sammy powers up and back suplexes, but Mansoor lands out! Sammy runs, Mansoor follows then RUNS Sammy over!

The fans are torn but Mansoor then fakes the run to POSE! Mansoor runs for real, but Sammy is up, he hurdles then backflips over to RUN Mansoor over! Now Sammy hits a POSE! Mason is furious but the fans like it. Sammy then runs, but Mansoor stays low and hurdles. Mansoor backflips, but Sammy lets him FLOP! Sammy then runs to run Mansoor over again! Mansoor bails out, Sammy spins and poses, and Mansoor is furious! Mansoor rushes up but Sammy DROPKICKS him back down! Sammy then builds speed and FOSBURY FLOPS! Down goes Mansoor and the fans cheer. Sammy says hi to Luna & Mama Tay, then he CHOPS Mansoor!

Sammy puts Mansoor in, but Mansoor distracts the ref so Mason can anchor Sammy! Sammy kicks free but Mansoor anchors Sammy now! Mason poses while Mansoor trips Sammy up. Mansoor ties Sammy’s legs up in the ropes, for a FIGURE FOUR! The ref counts, Mansoor holds until 4, and Mason talks trash on Sammy. The fans boo but Mansoor drags Sammy from the ropes. Mansoor stomps the legs, then he YANKS one! Sammy writhes, Mansoor says that’s an excellent maneuver! Mansoor has Sammy’s leg for a KNEE JAMMER! Sammy writhes, Mansoor mocks his pain, and even hobbles before he POSES!

The fans boo but Mansoor drags Sammy up, only for Sammy to cradle! TWO, and Mansoor kicks the leg! Mansoor hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Mansoor isn’t quite perfect, but he grabs Sammy’s leg to turn him over, HALF CRAB! Sammy endures and the fans rally up! Sammy powers up, turns back over, and he kicks with his fere leg! Mansoor lets go and staggers away. Sammy rises, Mansoor runs up, but Sammy avoids the sweep to ENZIGIRI! Sammy goes to a corner, Mansoor runs up, but Sammy dodges! Mansoor bounces off buckles, into a torture rack! GO TO- NO! Mansoor blocks the knee and trips Sammy!

Mansoor laces up the legs, step over, STEP OVER SHARPSHOOTER! Sammy endures this innovation, but he fights his way to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Mansoor lets go at 4, and he snarls as he storms up on Sammy in the corner. Mansoor stomps the leg, then fires forearms! Mansoor puts the bad leg around ropes and pulls! The ref counts, Mansoor stops at 4, and Mason chants, “Sammy Sucks! Sammy Sucks!” Fans instead chant “Mansoor Sucks! Mansoor Sucks!” But Mansoor then points out how he has Sammy’s legs open, a la The Natural! The ref says Mansoor can’t do this! Mansoor takes a deep breath, then runs up, but into a DROPKICK!

The fans fire up as Sammy JABS! JABS! JABS! Flip, flop, and fly, BIONIC ELBOW! The fans fire up and Sammy blocks a kick to DRAGON SCREW! Mansoor hobbles for real now, and Sammy KICKS out the leg! And then he KICKS the leg again! Sammy runs up but Mansoor KICKS the bad leg! Mansoor goes up, reels Sammy in, but Sammy fights to SUPER DRAGON SCREW! The ref checks Mansoor and Mason storms in! Sammy dodges and the leg lariat gets caught up on the ropes! The fans fire up as Sammy shakes the ropes, jamming up Mason’s runway! Sammy then CHOPS Mason down! But Mansoor rolls Sammy up! ONE, but Mansoor has the leg!

Sammy cradles, rolls through, and he steps through! FIGURE FOUR! Mansoor flails, Mansoor TAPS, Sammy wins!

Winner: Sammy Guevara, by submission

Mansoor tried to mock Dustin Rhodes, but Sammy showed MXM what he learned from The Natural! However, Mason is back! Sammy spots him so he backs up, only for Mansoor to CHOP BLOCK Sammy’s leg! The fans boo but MXM stomp away! Mansoor drags Sammy up, time to kill him fashionably! CENTERFOLD!! Mansoor covers, Mason counts it, and “three!” MXM declare themselves the ROH World Tag Team Champions, but will Dustin make sure he and Sammy humble them?

Fatal 4 Way Tag: The Outrunners VS The Dark Order VS Grizzled Young Veterans VS The Premier Athletes!

While MXM Collection beat down Sammy, the chase for the ROH Tag Team Championships never ends. Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd, Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds, Zack Gibson & James Drake, or Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari, which duo will- Sigh, of course Mark Sterling has to cut off Bobby Cruise… “Everybody knows that we are The Premier Athletes, and this is Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari. Now folks, we’ve decided to let the people of Jacksonville take part in our pregame cheer. However, based on our history, I must inform you that if you get it incorrect, I will be suing every single one of you!

“So, when I say, ‘Athletes,’ you say, ‘Rule,’ nothing else! Hands in, boys. Ohhh… Athletes!” “SUCK!!” There’s no way Sterling has enough paper and ink to print out that many lawsuits. But will Nese & Daivari find a way to defy the odds? Or will another team be poised for a title opportunity?

Drake runs up, but he misses the enzigiri! Scoop and TOTAL RECALL!! Cover, OUTRUNNERS WIN!

Winners: The Outrunners, by pinfall

The Youngest Men Alive keep their ROH win streak alive! They took down three top tier teams, but will they be THE team to win some tag team gold?


My Thoughts:

A really good episode of ROH here, clearly part of the AEW Homecoming visit, and was only an hour and 11 minutes. I’m rather surprised there was no ROH Rewind, but that’s either because they couldn’t find a match that best relates to what’s going on right now, or they don’t feel they need it to fill time anymore. Athena was back, and she of course talks down to Billie. I almost thought Billie was going to stand up to her again, and this story can’t go another year. I feel like they kept the ROH Women’s World Championship on Athena given she was going to Japan and would look stronger as champion at WrestleDynasty and the Stardom events, but she really should drop it to Billie at Supercard.

Good match from Blake VS Priest, and I like that the spirit of Blue Pants lives on. Like, Priest gets an introduction, so the fans either don’t listen or they just like that he wore blue pants. Good win for Blake, though, and Vanilla Choke Zero is both a hilarious and clever name, and also a great hold. Good stuff with this growing “fraternity faction” story, Jameson showing up and then helping out, not costing them, is some rather surprising stuff. They didn’t beat Jameson up so maybe Griff, Vance & Karter let him stay as their manager. Still a shame that the Iron Savages are no more, but TK wasn’t exactly building them, so what else was going to happen?

Lee got his win thanks to EJ, but not before Jon Davis had a good showing. Very good match from Sammy VS Mansoor, and while Sammy got a win, I feel like MXM will still get a title shot from what they did to Sammy. Very good Women’s TV title match, especially with a rare Heel VS Heel situation. But naturally Velvet got the win, she’s building momentum while waiting on Leyla. And the Fatal 4 Way was a lot of fun. With Outrunners being very popular, it made sense they’d win here, but I was honestly expecting GYV given they’re Heels and we’re still dealing with Face tag champs. Still good stuff for Turbo & Truth, they might just be in a holding pattern while the ROH and AEW tag title stories are all spoken for.

My Score: 8.6/10
