Winner: Komander, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)

The Commander keeps his gold, and Panther finally shows him proper respect by helping Komander put it on. The fans cheer this great moment between great luchadores. But now the question is, who is next?

My Thoughts:

A very good ROH continue and maybe end the crossover with CMLL. Not sure, they never did say how many weeks there’d be of this. Great Six Man Tag to open, and it made sense for the Faces to win with Mistico on the team. Very good showing for Viva Van in her loss to Catalina, and another good showing for The Parea even in losing to Dralistico & Mortos. Top Flight VS Solo & QT was pretty wild, too, but of course Top Flight wins to build the momentum towards both tag title and trios title contention.

Satnam of course gets a win, but I’m not sure what much he’ll do without Jay Lethal as a teammate. Also a shame AAA made Satnam & Jinder Mahal give up their tag titles. They claimed Satnam & Jinder were inactive as champs but uh, isn’t it AAA’s job to schedule this stuff? And I’m a little surprised there wasn’t even so much as social media posts being featured on how Billie did against Mone last night. That’s stuff they could easily edit in later, and it’d help water the seeds of Mone VS Athena for All In: Texas.

Great match from Fox VS Knight, but I’m rather disappointed they didn’t address how the time limit draw affects who is challenging for the TV title. Komander VS Panther was a great main event, but I figured Komander would win being on ROH TV. I suppose Fox VS Knight being a draw, and then Blake Christian having built a great win streak on his own all adds some intrigue as to who faces Komander next. Perhaps Blake, Fox and Knight all face off in a Triple Threat? Or since Komander won in a Survival of the Fittest, we get another one of those with him, the three I named, and any two others they want to throw in.

My Score: 8.8/10
