Fuego Del Sol VS Wheeler Yuta!
Lucha night opens with a hot start as the Fire of the Sun returns to ROH, but so does The Decoder! Will Fuego Del Sol get one up on a former ROH Pure Champion turned current AEW World Trios Champion? Or will Yuta do the Death Riders proud in Houston?
Houston cheers on the Texas star, and Fuego offers the Code of Honor. Yuta reaches out, but then SLAPS Fuego! The fans boo and the bell rings, Yuta slips around to CLUB Fuego down! Yuta mocks the fans cheering on Fuego, then scoops him for a SLAM and SENTON! The fans boo but Yuta brings Fuego up. FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO, but Yuta holds onto the leg!

Yuta staggers up, Fuego SLAPS him! But Yuta LARIATS in return! The fans boo but Yuta rains down fists! And then stops, to rain down more fists!

Fuego endures and Yuta mockingly asks if he’ll give up. Fuego refuses to give in, and he SLAPS Yuta! So Yuta bridges and puts on more pressure! Yuta shows off by not even using his hands, but Fuego fights his way to the ROPEBREAK! Yuta lets go at 4, and he reminds the ref, “I have ’til five!” The fans boo Yuta parodying Bryan Danielson, then Yuta kicks Fuego around. Yuta eggs Fuego on, so Fuego ROCKS him! And ROCKS him! And again, and again, and again! But Yuta gets under the big haymaker! Yuta back suplexes, but Fuego lands out! Fuego dodges Yuta to then springboard QUEBRADA! Down goes Yuta!

Another thing he took from The American Dragon is that big knee, and Yuta takes the victory. Yuta sits Fuego up, and thinks about Hammer ‘n’ Anvil elbows, but he decides not to. Because he gets an even more sadistic idea! Yuta looks under the ring, and he brings out a steel chain! Yuta threatens the ref, then he goes to Fuego!

Rachael Ellering VS Abadon!
The Queen of Strong Smile is feeling good being in Houston, ready to bring that Comet energy. However, she’s up against the Living Dead Girl, who brings a very different vibe. Will Rachael learn why everyone fears Abadon? Or will Rachael’s smile see her through?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, but uh, Abadon doesn’t let go. Rachael tries to get free, and now it is a tug-o-war. The fans rally, Rachael reels Abadon into a headlock, but Abadon BITES Rachael’s hand! The ref reprimands, Abadon lets go, and Abadon doesn’t get what’s wrong.

Abadon continues to be terrifying, as well as victorious. Will the ROH Women’s Division, and especially the champions, have to watch their backs?
Backstage interview with Jacked Jameson.
Lexy Nair is with the former Iron Savage, and he’s counting his abs. She brings us back to a few weeks ago when he walked up to Griff Garrison, Preston Vance & Cole Karter in hopes of forming a group with them. Then in Jacksonville, Jameson actually interfered in their match on their behalf. The question is, what’s going on here? Jameson says those are his boys! His guys! His dudes! Jameson went out there, helped them, it was huge! It was awesome! Speaking of, the boys walk in! Vance tells Jameson that they’ve heard his offer, they loved what he did in Jacksonville, and tonight is a big match and… They’d love if he was a part of it.
So then, it’s official! They got him some Frat House gear! But first… he has to do something. Yeah, sure! Anything! Vance, Griff & Karter pour all of their drinks into one red Solo cup, and Jameson asks what’s in it. The boys say don’t worry about it. Jameson says don’t have to tell him twice. He chugs the concoction, and he is PUMPED! The Frat House is now four men strong, and Jameson says after tonight, party at the Frat House! Vance tells Jameson that one thing about them: win or lose, they booze! The Frat boys head out, Lexy can finally breathe from whatever was in that cup, and it’s time to see if Jameson passes the test!
12 Man Tag: The Premier Athletes & The Frat House VS Top Flight, The Outrunners & The Von Erichs!
Instead of “Smart” Mark Sterling, Tony Nese has the mic to tell Bobby Cruise to shut up, “no one wants to listen to your stupid voice.” Nese then tells the “fat boys and fat girls” of Houston, Nese & Daivari couldn’t think of a better partner for this match than an athlete that makes every single one of them put to shame! Yes, it’s SMART MARK himself! Wait, seriously? Sterling takes the mic to say that’s right, he is still here to make sure that the losers of Texas can take part in their winning cheer. So please, get this right. When he says, “Athletes,” you say, “Rule!” NOTHING ELSE! Hands in, boys. Ohhh…! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Gottee!
But with that, Dante & Darius Martin enter, accompanied by Leila Grey. Then Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd enter, and last but not least, Texas’ own, Marshall & Ross Von Erich! The massive teams sort out, and Darius starts against Nese. The fans rally up and Darius circles with Nese. Nese says wait, wait! He knows what the fans are here to see. Nese flexes, but the fans boo. Nese shouts, “ATHLETES!” The fans respond, “SUCK!” Nese and Darius circle, but then Nese kicks low! Nese bumps Darius off buckles, then tags in Daivari. “We’ll show you who sucks!” Nese & Daivari fire hands in the corner while the fans boo.
The ref counts, The Premier Athletes stop, and they both shout, “ATHLETES!” Again, the fans say, “SUCK!” Daivari tags Griff and they mug Darius.

Jameson stomps Truth, tags Vance, and Vance covers, TWO!
Vance ROCKS Truth, has him in the corner, then CHOPS! Tag to Daivari, he CHOPS Truth, then he tags Nese. The Premier Athletes mug Truth with haymaker after haymaker, but the ref is still too busy keeping Top Flight, Turbo & The Von Erichs back! Nese drags Truth up, and he tags in Sterling!? The fans boo but Sterling gets to throw hands on Truth! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Sterling drags Truth back, anchors a leg, and tags in Vance. Vance stomps Truth, tags Jameson, and Jameson tags Griff.

The fans fire up again as Truth and Vance crawl. Truth pushes past Vance, but Leila has to get out of the way as The Premier Athletes & Frat House all run up! They all YANK Top Flight, Turbo & The Von Erichs off the apron, leaving Truth stranded! But at least Truth’s team fights back!
The fans fire up, but Truth turns around into a BOOT! Truth ends up on the apron, Vance runs up, and Vance SPEARS Truth onto the entire cluster! The fans fire up as Vance drags Truth into the ring.

Winners: Top Flight, The Outrunners & The Von Erichs, by pinfall
Everything’s bigger in Texas, and that includes this win as the super team everybody loves stands tall! But with The Von Erichs holding gold with Dustin Rhodes, will The Sons of Texas soon be everyone’s top priority?
MXM Collection speaks.
ROH Media found Mansoor & Mason Madden after their loss at ROH Global Wars: Australia, but they still had their remodeled ROH World Tag title belt. As such, they act triumphant and victorious because they “successfully defended” their ROH World Tag Team Championship. Because as you can see, they still have the belt! Shoutout to Dustin Rhodes, he is a great fellow tag team champion, he really tested MXM. But then they ran away with this here title, and there is nothing anyone can say about it! Fingertip touch and MXM heads out, but they do know possession is NOT nine-tenths of the law in ROH, right?
Billie Starkz VS Hyan!
As if tensions weren’t already high between these two, Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths is being belittled because she lost to Harley Cameron on the Jericho Cruise while The Fallen Goddess is still ROH Women’s World Champion after beating Alex Windsor in Australia. The Athena World Tour returns home to Texas, but will Billie make “Boss” proud? Or will even disappointment be bigger in Texas?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the fans rally up for Hyan. Billie is annoyed, the two tie up, and Billie wrenches to a wristlock.

Billie then puts Hyan up top, Electric Chair Lifts, and she tucks Hyan in for a DRIVER!! Cover, Billie wins!
Winner: Billie Starkz, by pinfall
Well, if Kenny Omega uses a One Winged Angel, was that a Two Winged Angel? The bottom line is Billie is back in the win column, but will she ever fight her way out from under Athena’s tyranny?

Sammy runs to JUMP KNEE again! Hechi flounders, Sammy torture racks him! But Mason gets on the apron! The ref tells him to hop down, but Mansoor slithers in, and he BELT SHOTS Sammy!! The fans boo, Sammy flops out of the ring, but Fuego steps up! Fuego runs, slips through a tilt-o-whirl, but Hechi victory rolls, only to stand up and INVERTED MONKEY FLIP Fuego into a LEG SCISSOR NELSON! But that’s not all, Hechi makes it a ROLLING CRADLE! They go around and around and around, into the cover! Team Hechi wins!!
Winners: Hechicero, Barbaro Cavernario & Soberano Jr, by pinfall
Give an assist to MXM as they celebrate their part to play in this victory. They even get Hechicero to touch fingertips with him! But then they aim at Sammy! Only for Fuego y Panther to get back in! MXM flips the belt around to swing on them! Fuego y Panther dodge, and they DOUBLE DROPKICK MXM out! The fans cheer, but Sammy, Fuego & Panther grab Mansoor! Mansoor says save yourself! He lets the belt go, Sammy has Mansoor in the torture rack! GO TO HOSPITAL!! Mason shouts, “NOOO~!” but he keeps the title belt away from Sammy. Will Sammy & Dustin just have to take the fight to MXM to get their stolen property back?
My Thoughts:
A very good ROH clocking in at an hour and 21 minutes, it feels like they’ve almost got this mastered for a good cable TV runtime. Though at the same time, we still had filler in Gates of Agony squashing Exodus & Josiah, and then both women’s matches were fairly quick. Billie squashing Hyan was in part to serve story as we did see Athena tell Billie to take things seriously, and then Billie takes her frustrations out on Hyan. Rachael VS Abadon could’ve been a little longer to build them both up in the standings, but Abadon winning makes sense as Abadon’s gotten closer to titles than Rachael has. And good promo from Velvet, but I’m not sure why we’re waiting so long to get to her and Leyla’s rematch.
Additionally, while that 12 Man Tag was some fun, just smashing together multiple teams for that was bordering on filler. Good to see The Von Erichs back given ROH was in Texas. And between The Von Erichs being in Texas and Sterling being introduced as one of the competitors, it was a given The Von Erichs and their team would win. Though it did work that The Outrunners got the finish, they’re the team riding high right now. I will say it’s good that “The Frat House” is a faction, but like, can’t the name have just be The Fraternity? Or like, Greek letters that make a fraternity name, but also is a funny pun when you boil it down to letters.
But of course, great stuff throughout the night involving luchadores. Fuego Del Sol VS Yuta was a very good opening match, but I figured Yuta would win that. Him going the extra mile with that steel chain was rather vicious, I feel like Fuego should want payback, teaming with some other AEW wrestlers who have beef with the Death Riders. Komander VS Lee was a very good ROH TV Championship match, but given this wasn’t the main event, I figured Komander would retain. Maybe EJ gets his shot next?
And then a very good Six Man main event. The lucha rules made it constant motion because there was no need for tags, and apparently the ref didn’t need to count when Hechi’s team was in there together. MXM getting involved makes sense, as they’re still not happy just possessing the tag title. They screwed Sammy over, Hechi’s team wins, but then Sammy’s side stands tall over MXM. I would think we do get Sons of Texas VS MXM one more time, who knows how that goes, but it’ll be a lot of fun either way.
My Score: 8.6/10

Backstage interview with Chelsea Green.
Cathy Kelley is with The Hot Mess and her Secret Her-vice, and brings up- Chelsea stops Cathy before she starts, and says Chelsea has risen from the ashes. She was in mourning, but now it is night! Saturday Night’s Main Event, to be exact. And guess what? The votes are in! And after Chelsea she beats Zelina Vega tonight, she will usher in her second term as the GREATEST, longest-reigning, most dangerous Women’s United States Champion! Thank you for your her-vice.

WWE Women’s United States Championship: Zelina Vega VS Chelsea Green w/ The Secret Her-vice!

John Cena VS R-Truth!
When it came to winning his historic 17th world title reign off of Cody Rhodes, the Greatest Of All Time vowed to ruin wrestling. When it came to keeping this title from another great in Randy Orton, the GOAT vowed to erase legacies. But now, against a man who called him a friend and a “childhood hero,” Cena isn’t sure what to think. But will he see the error of his ways after fighting the Truth? Or will power and fame continue to corrupt the Last Real Champion?
The fans still sing “JOHN CENA SUCKS~!” as Cena makes his way out in classic Tampa Bay Buccaneers creamsicle colors. And he of course has Lillian Garcia do the introduction: The Greatest of All Time, the Never-Seen Seventeen, gracing Tampa with his presence for the final time, The Last Real Champion… JOHN CENA! Truth then makes his entrance, as if he’s John Cena?! No, wait, that’s RON CENA! The shirt says so! He even does the proper salute, run in, and slide! Cena is mad, and he LARIATS Truth! The bell rings and the fans boo, but Cena rains down fists on Truth! Cena RIPS Truth’s shirt off and throws it away.
The fans chant, “LET’S GO, CENA!” “CENA SUCKS!” Cena is only more upset, and he bumps Truth off buckles. Cena ROCKS Truth, whips him corner to corner hard, and Truth falls to the mat. Cena picks up the earrings that Truth lost and throws them at him. The fans chant, “You Can’t Wrestle!” “Yes, He Can!” Cena runs and he SHOULDER TACKLES Truth! The fans are torn but Cena waits on Truth. Cena runs to SHOULDER TACKLE again! But Truth stands up, takes a swing, but into the SPIN-OUT BOMB! Cena says “You Can’t See Me!” FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! Then the fireman’s carry, but Truth slips free!
Truth ducks ‘n’ dodges to SHOULDER TACKLE! And SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up as Truth gives Cena a SPIN-OUT BOMB! And then “You Can’t See Me!” Truth runs to FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! Then Truth fireman’s carries! ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!! Cover, TWO!! Cena survives his own move and the fans fire up! Truth hurries to get Cena’s leg! S T F!! Cena endures, crawls, and has the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Truth lets go, and fans boo as Cena bails out. Truth storms out and the fans rally behind him. Truth brings Cena up, btu Cena POSTS him! Cena puts Truth back in the ring, and he grabs the belt?!
The fans boo as Cena just wants to end this! The ref reprimands but Cena takes aim. Truth stands up, Cena runs up, but then Cena hesitates?! Truth is disappointed that Cena wanted to do this, and the fans are cheering for Cena to put the belt down! Cena says okay, and he gives the belt back. The fans cheer, but then Cena LOW BLWOS Truth!! And fireman’s carry! ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!! Cover, Cena wins!
Winner: John Cena, by pinfall
Just when you can’t think he could go any lower, he does! And then Cena gets the belt back to take aim again! Truth rises up, the ref reprimands but there’s nothing anyone can do! BELT SHOT!! Cena leaves Truth behind, and with him, the man he once was. Will Cena make sure he ends his farewell tour as both the greatest and the worst of all time?
Jey Uso and John Cena cross paths.
The two top champions stare down, and Cena says, “Been a long time.” Jey says, “Last time I seen you, I threw you out to win the Royal Rumble, Uce.” Cena says yeah, that’s good. Very… fun. Cena is glad Jey remembers the last time they saw each other. Cena is looking forward to the next time. Because there’s something special about Jey being from one of the most prestigious families in the history of this industry and losing that title to Logan Paul. Wouldn’t it be something if, when Cena’s clock strikes zero, Cena takes THE WWE Championship home with him, and Jey’s World Heavyweight Championship is around the waist of a YouTuber.
“Sounds like that’d almost… ruin wrestling. Gosh, that’s a lot of pressure for the match tonight. Good luck, champ. I’ll be watching closely.” The GOAT is clearly trying to mess with Main Event Jey’s mind, but will it work? Or will Jey YEET said YouTuber back to the internet?
Steel Cage Match: Drew McIntyre VS Damian Priest!
This cycle of violence has gone on for over a year, and somehow, WrestleMania wasn’t enough to end it. But now, on a Saturday night, they step inside the steel to settle this once and for all. Who feels real pain while the other walks away and leaves this all behind him?
Priest steps in through the door and Drew attacks! Priest falls to the floor, Drew is right after him and CLUBS him! Drew RAMS Priest into the barriers, the refs reprimand, but Drew shoves Priest in. Then Drew brings chairs out from under the ring! Drew puts those in the ring, then he slams the door shut! The bell finally rings, and Priest attacks Drew in return! Drew stops from hitting the steel but Priest ROCKS him! Priest tries again but Drew refuses to be sent into steel. Drew throws body shots and CHOP! Drew tries now but Priest stops from being sent into steel! Drew CHOPS again, but Priest clinches for a FLATLINER!
Both big men slowly rise back up, and the fans rally as Priest kicks and UPPERCUTS! Priest brings Drew around to whip, but Drew reverses, only for Priest to SUPERKICK! Priest choke grips, but Drew fires elbows! Drew CLAWS Priest’s eyes, shoves him to a corner, then runs up. Priest BOOTS Drew, then runs corner to corner, but Drew dodges! Priest hits buckles, and Drew THROWS him into the steel! Drew scoops Priest, aims again, and LAWN DARTS Priest into the steel! The fans are torn but Drew seethes as SNME goes to break.
SNME returns and Drew climbs the cage! Priest pursues and drags Drew down a step. Priest climbs up to hit Drew with forearms! Then Priest clinches Drew, but Drew fights with elbows! Drew SMACKS Priest off the steel, Priest falls down, and Drew carefully turns around, to AX- NO, Priest avoids the ax handle, and BOOTS Drew down! Not quite a Claymore but Priest still drags Drew up to choke grip! SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! Cover, TWO!??! Drew survives and Priest is stunned! The fans rally and Priest rises up. Priest climbs the ropes, then the cage! Drew hurries after Priest, CLUBS away on him, then HAMMERS Priest’s head!
Drew wobbles but he steadies himself, and he brings Priest back down from the top, with a SUPER DUPER PLEX!! The fans fire up as Drew kips up! The Scottish Terminator takes aim, calls it out, “THREE! TWO! ONE!” CLAYMORE!! Cover, TWO!?!? Priest survives and now Drew is stunned! “This is Awesome!” as both men rise. Drew throws a haymaker, but Priest fires back! The hands go back and forth, harder and harder, faster and faster! The fans rally, it is fast ‘n’ furious, but Priest KICKS, KICKS, and ROLLING ELBOWS! Drew staggers around, Priest ROCKS him again! Priest goes corner to corner, and BACK ELBOWS!
Priest keeps moving, but he fakes out the Claymore! Ghost pin, TWO! Drew is up, he choke grips, and he steals SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! Cover, TWO!?!?! Priest survives his own move and the fans fire up! Drew looks up to Heaven, perhaps questioning what he must do to win. The fans sing for Drew, and Drew grabs one of those chairs he brought in. Drew runs up and JAMS Priest! Then he SMACKS Priest on the back! Priest falls to his knees, then Drew SMACKS Priest even harder! Drew puts the chair aside and watches Priest writhe. Drew calculates, and then he smiles and soaks up cheers and jeers.
Drew drags Priest up between ropes and steel, then puts him in the corner. A chair is wedged and waiting! Flashback to Mania, but Priest dodges! Claymore hits chair!! Priest is up and he JAMS Drew with the other chair! And then he puts it under Drew’s chin! FULL METAL JAWBREAKER!! And then a choke grip, SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! But Priest isn’t satisfied, and the fans fire up! Priest has the chair, puts it under Drew’s head, and Priest grabs the other chair! A shoutout to his Rated R mentor! Priest aims for a CON-CHAIR-TO!! The fans want that “ONE MORE TIME!” but Priest leaves Drew behind. Priest steps outside the door, but then wonders if this is good enough.
Priest decides yes, and he steps to the floor to win!
Winner: Damian Priest, by escape
Priest has left Drew for dead, and the ref is calling for medical help! Did Priest just terminate the terminator? Drew manages to sit up but he is dazed. Drew manages to make it to the stretcher under his own power, only to refuse it! Will Drew need time to step away and reevaluate?
WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Jey Uso VS Logan Paul!
After winning the Royal Rumble against all odd, and after winning this title at WrestleMania against all odds, Main Event Jey is now on top of the world! But The Maverick thinks that after just showing up, running his mouth, and punking out superstar after superstar, he is going to be on top of the WWE now. Will Logan ruin wrestling, just like John Cena predicted? Or will we all YEET with Saturday Night’s Main Event Jey Uso?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who is really championship material!
The bell rings, the fans rally for Jey while he and Logan step up. They test each other, then tie up. Jey headlocks, Logan powers out, but Jey RUNS Logan over! The fans fire up, “YEET!” and then things speed up. Jey jumps the dropdown, Logan hurdles, but Jey stops to UPPERCUT! Logan staggers around, Jey UPPERCUTS again! Logan goes to a corner, Jey whips, but Logan reverses. Jey goes up and over, but Logan ELBOWS Jey! Logan BOOTS Jey, goes up, and leaps for a BLOCKBUSTER! Logan kips up, the fans boo, but Logan just smirks. Jey bails out, Logan aims and PLANCAHS, and down goes Jey!
Logan fires up but the fans boo while SNME goes to break.
SNME returns once again and Logan blocks a kick, but not the DRAGON WHIP! Logan falls back to a corner and Jey has the fans rally up with “UCE! OH! UCE! OH!” Jey runs in, HIP ATTACK! Cover, TWO! Logan stays in this but Jey stays focused. Jey goes up the corner and the fans fire up. Jey aims to USO SPLASH, onto knees! Logan makes it a cradle, TWO!! Jey survives and Logan is upset with the ref. The ref says that count was fair, so Logan hauls Jey up. Logan fireman’s carries, and he soaks up heat before he hits the ROLLING SENTON! Then the LIONSAULT, but onto knees! The fans fire up as Jey gets even!
Logan staggers away and clutches his stomach. Jey rises, dodges Logan, and then POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him! Cover, TWO! Logan stays in this but Jey still stays focused. The fans rally, Jey and Logan rise again, and Jey storms up on Logan in the corner. Logan grabs a buckle pad to resist! The pad comes free, Jey UPPERCUTS Logan, and then Jey LARIATS Logan up and out! Logan bumps into the desk, Jey builds speed, and Jey DIVES into a HAYMAKER! Logan brings Jey up to bump him off the top buckle! Jey staggers away, Logan slingshots in, but into a SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO!! Logan survives and Jey is a bit surprised.
Jey goes to a corner and the fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Logan rises, Jey runs up, but Logan sends him into the bare buckle!! Jey staggers, Logan hits that ONE LUCKY PUNCH!! Cover, TWO!?!?! Jey survives and Logan is shocked! Logan is furious now, and he drags Jey up. The fans rally for Jey, they tell off Logan, and Jey shoves Logan away! SUPERKICK!! Logan falls into the drop zone, Jey hurries up top, USO SPLASH!!! Clean hit and Jey covers, BUT JOHN CENA YANKS THE REF OUT!!! The fans boo as Cena attacks Jey! The WWE Champion can’t let Jey win so he has to beat him down!
Logan is a bit surprised by this as Cena just stomps away on Jey! But here comes CODY RHODES!!! The American Nightmare returns and he runs right up on Cena! Cody fires off, kicks low, and RHODES UPPERCUTS!! Then he gives Cena a CROSS RHODES!!! Cena bails out, but Logan has BRASS KNUCKLES!! Cody dodges that shot, and Jey SPEARS Logan!! Jey hurries up top, Cody finds the ref, and USO SPLASH!!! Cover, JEY WINS!!!
Winner: Jey Uso, by pinfall (still WWE World Heavyweight Champion)
Cena tried to ruin wrestling all on his own, but Cody would not allow it! And Cody has his mic to say, “You’ve ruined ENOUGH! I’m sorry that the John Cena Farewell Tour rode right through Rhodes Country. But I’m back! I’m ready to fight! You got yourself a partner in Logan Paul, I got myself a brother in the World Heavyweight Champion! We’ll see you at MONEY IN THE BANK!!” The fans are thunderous and SNME has to cut away! Will Cody & Jey bring things back to when they were tag team champions and take down two of the biggest egos in the entire world?
My Thoughts:
A great Saturday Night’s Main Event, and some surprising story advancement with it. Rollins & Bron VS Punk & Sami was very good, but what a great way to bring Bronson Reed back. Quite the surprising move to have Bronson join up with Rollins rather than be an enemy, too. A bit of the typical “Heels work together just because they’re Heels,” but there can be some kayfabing that in Bronson’s time away with injury, Rollins talked with him and got him to see things Rollins’ way. And in the end, this is a wild addition to the faction, as Bron & Bronson can destroy a lot of tag teams to become champions while Rollins goes for the world title.
Very good match from Zelina VS Chelsea, both of them sporting their own take on patriotic super hero. I believe Zelina kept with her My Hero Academia theme and was a combination of All Might and Stars & Stripes. Great win for Zelina with that super Code Red, and I would think Chelsea moves on, despite not really being set up for MITB or the top title. For that matter, not sure who would challenge her when two great contenders in Piper and Alba are subservient to Chelsea. I guess we can wait and see what else sorts out with MITB, and even NXT Battleground for that matter, as I bet more call-ups are due for the Summer.
Great Steel Cage match from Drew and Priest, and while I wish there were more No Escape style Cage matches, allowing for a simple walk out the door makes for poetic imagery from Priest. Priest showed absolute brutality to Drew with the Con-Chair-To, to then show a bit of mercy by just leaving him there. Plus, this all makes sense if Drew needs some legit time off for his injuries. Word was, Drew’s neck was making it hard to turn and look around, so writing him off with that finish is fine. Priest can certainly go for the Men’s US Championship now, once we see how things shake out with the Men’s MITB and this Fatu-Solo-Mateo story.
And great stuff from both top champions. Truth being “Ron Cena” was so good, I could not help but laugh and cheer out loud. Cena reacting the way he did was also great, and the bait ‘n’ switch on how he was going to cheat was brilliant. Cena even adds heat with him messing with Jey, and even trying to ruin the main event. Jey VS Logan was a great match even going into that overbooking, but this was also a great way for Cody to make his return. Cody & Jey VS Cena & Logan at MITB is going to be some good stuff, and can easily set up Cena VS Cody 2 for SummerSlam. Jey still has to worry about Gunther on June 9th, so Logan will have to wait his turn on a rematch, which could also be for SummerSlam since it is two nights this year.
My Score: 8.7/10
