AEW shares a post-Dynamite interview.

Renee Paquette was with The Learning Tree, Chris Jericho, Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey. Renee says Jericho is coming off his big victory over Bandido, but his proteges have not been seeing the same level of success. What does he attribute that to? Jericho first says he appreciates Renee’s level of respect and candor. Glad she’s learned how to address him. She seems to learn faster than a few others around here. Jericho wants to explain something to Bill & Keith. He knows it is not easy to be in AEW. It is the hardest competition in the world. But he handpicked both of them for a reason!

Keith, Jericho didn’t even know who you were before you came into the Learning Tree, but look at all that you have done! Keith is one of the best in the business, but he hasn’t won a match that matters in a long time. He had a great match with Will Ospreay, but he lost. And Bill, Jericho has known you for years. Again, Jericho knows the personality and potential Bill has to be a champion. And yet Bill and Keith lose to Hobbs and Bandido. What does Jericho have to do to get through to them? Opportunities in this business like this do not come around often. This could be the biggest chance, and last chance, for them to show him what they can do!

This could be their last chance to show themselves as main event players and champions in this company! When you get these opportunities, you effin’ take advantage of them!! Because if you don’t, they dry up and go away. It is time to live up to the potential and expectations that he has for them, that he knows they can deliver. Because if not, he isn’t sure what he’s going to do with either one of them. Jericho thanks Renee, exits, and Renee goes to ask for their reaction. Bill covers the mic, then he and Keith leave. What must the Redwood and the Bad Apple to do break through?

ROH Women’s World Championship: Athena VS La Catalina!

The Fallen Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the American Joshi, the Gatekeeper, the Forever Champion continues to be the most dominant champion in all of ROH history, but she took offense when The Diva of the Ring didn’t properly introduce herself. These two face off for the first time, will Athena demolish another contender? Or will Catalina be the one in 63-1?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if forever ends!

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the two approach. Athena dodges, then mocks Catalina with an “Ole!” But then Catalina storms up, waistlocks, and arm-drags! Catalina shows some real Latina Heat and Athena gets heated. They knuckle lock, then go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. Catalina powers Athena down to a cover, ONE as a shoulder comes up! Catalina pushes that down, ONE as the other shoulder comes up! Catalina goes to hop on but Athena gets her boots up! But no Monkey Flip, Athena uses this to wheelbarrow and victory roll, and she folds Catalina up in a cover, TWO!

Catalina escapes, Athena does another “OLE!” Catalina runs up, Athena whips her away, but then Catalina redirects herself to SHOTGUN! Athena goes to a corner, Catalina fires forearms, then she whips. Athena reverses, Catalina goes up and over to ROCK Athena! Then a snapmare and SHOTGUN sends Athena out! The fans fire up and Catalina takes aim. Catalina builds speed to DIVE into a GAMANGIRI! Athena lured Catalina in for that, and she scoops her, SWINGING SLAM on the floor! Athena grins while Catalina writhes, and Athena says go check on her! Referee Aubrey Edwards checks while Athena soaks up the cheers and jeers.

Athena waits, the ref says Catalina is good to continue, so Athena has her in the ropes. Athena CLUBS Catalina, steps on her neck, then steps away. Athena tells Aubrey not to tell her what to do. Aubrey doesn’t take that intimidation like Posey does, but Athena goes back to Catalina. Athena stomps Catalina, drags her up, then ROCKS her! “Who’s the baddest?!” Catalina rolls Athena up! TWO, but Catalina backslides Athena! TWO, and the arms are still hooked! Athena fights up, but Catalina ROCKS her! Athena goes to ropes, Catalina runs, but Athena dodges the hip attack! SUPERKICK! Fireman’s carry, ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! SLIDING FOREARM! Cover, TWO!

The fans fire up as Catalina survives! Athena growls and she KNEES Catalina in the side! And KNEES her again! Athena has a modified Bow ‘n’ Arrow and she pulls on Catalina. Catalina fights back, but Athena CLUBS her down! Back to the Bow ‘n’ Arrow, but the fans rally for Catalina. Catalina fights, but Athena ROCKS her! Catalina goes to a corner, but Athena runs up to UPPERCUT! Athena whips, Catalina blocks to break free, and she ROCKS Athena! Athena ROCKS Catalina in return! Athena scowls, then whips corner to corner. Catalina stops herself, Athena handsprings up, but into a SHOTGUN KNEE!

Athena is down and Catalina crawls to ropes. The fans rally, Catalina drags herself up, but Athena runs up. Catalina ELBOWS Athena, BOOTS her, then goes up a corner! MISSILE DROPKICK! Athena tumbles away, Catalina fires up and the fans are with her! HIP ATTACK in the corner! Then an Electric Chair Lift! And SLAM! Cover, TWO! Athena survives and Catalina is shocked! Catalina hobbles over, ties up Athena’s legs, and turns her for a CHILEAN CLOVERHOLD! Athena endures being twisted, and Catalina even CLUBS at the legs and lower back! Athena has the ROPEBREAK, Catalina lets her go, but then Catalina waistlocks!

Athena holds onto ropes to HOTSHOT Catalina away! Catalina comes back, Athena dodges, POP-UP POWERBOMB! High stack, TWO, into a DEADLIFT POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO!! The fans fire up but Athena is furious! Athena drags Catalina into the SNAKE BITE!! Catalina makes it a cover! TWO!! CROSSFACE!! Catalina rolls to a cover, TWO!! Athena and Catalina stand, SHOULDER TACKLE from Catalina! The fans fire up as Catalina runs, HIP ATTACK on the ropes! Catalina then reels Athena in, underhooks, and PEDIGREE!! Cover, TWO!?! Athena survives, and Catalina can’t believe that wasn’t game over!

But Catalina snarls, and she drags Athena up. Catalina bumps Athena off buckles, then hoists her up again! Electric Chair Lift, with wristlocks, but Athena fights free! Athena shoves Catalina, then RANAS! Catalina flounders to a corner, Athena runs up, BAYONET FOREARM! Athena snapmares Catalina, then she climbs up! The fans fire up for the O-FACE!! Cover, Athena wins!

Winner: Athena, by pinfall (still ROH Women’s World Champion)

Athena’s undefeated streak continues, but Catalina gave her a lot more than she expected! And for that reason, Athena looms over Catalina. And offers a handshake? The fans cheer their respect to Catalina, and Catalina takes the handshake. Athena raises Catalina’s hand, only to DECK her! The fans boo, but what else was going to happen? Catalina still has fight to get up again, but will she have to wait a long time for another shot?

MXM Collection speaks.

They talk to each other through the pictures on their ROH World Tag Team Championship. “Hello, Mason.” “Oh, hello, Mansoor.” “Mason, isn’t it wonderful how we’re the ROH World Tag Team Champion?” “And how we will be forever?” They laugh, and we zoom off the belt to see them both wearing rather ridiculous sunglasses. But Mansoor says that is right! MXM Collection are YOUR ROH World Tag Team Champion, even after what happened at Global Wars: Australia. Many say they lost this championship, and many people are WRONG! That match happened in Australia, and everyone knows Australia is not a real country.

But they will tell Sammy Guevara & Dustin Rhodes this: “As long as we hold this title, we will continue to be a thorn in your eye.” “And we will be your huckleberry all night long.” In fact, perhaps they will complete the collection tonight. Sammy & Dustin have a match tonight, that MXM might want to crash. The Sons of Texas are indeed set to compete tonight, but will the Sultan of Suave & Mahogany Hunk give both belts a makeover?

Jay Lethal & Satnam Singh w/ Sonjay Dutt VS McCallion & Slade!

Lately we’ve seen Black Machismo return to ROH, but it’s time The Franchise Player gets back in business. He and the One in a Billion team up tonight, will they be a lethal combination? Or will they be left in a state of Delirium?

The teams sort out and Lethal starts against Slade. The fans cheer as Lethal offers the Code of Honor. Slade slaps the hand away, the bell rings, and the two circle. The fans rally for Lethal as he ties up with Slade. Lethal headlocks, Slade fires body shots, then powers out. Lethal runs Slade over, runs him over again, then covers. ONE, but Lethal arm-drags Slade! Then handspring and DROPKICK! The fans fire up while Lethal struts, but Slade tags McCallion. Lethal and McCallion circle now, the fans rally again, and McCallion waistlocks. Lethal switches, McCallion switches, repeat, but Lethal facelocks.

Lethal suplexes, McCallion slips out to waistlock again, but Lethal elbows free. Lethal brings McCallion over, but McCallion ROCKS Lethal first! McCallion whips, Lethal reverses, Slade sneaks a tag! Lethal blocks McCallion’s chop to CHOP, but Slade waistlocks! Lethal switches, Slade backs him into a corner, and then McCallion RAMS into Lethal! GAMANGIRI from Slade! Cover, TWO! Slade is frustrated already but he tags McCallion. Lethal fights back, but Delirium still mugs Lethal. They DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX, but Lethal lands out! Lethal hesitates, Delirium says don’t do it, but Lethal tags in Satnam!

The fans fire up as Satnam steps up and over the top rope! Delirium attacks, but they are like the buzzing of flies to Satnam! Satnam brushes that off, then he DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLES Delirium! Satnam back body blocks Slade in one corner, SPLASHES McCallion in the other, then SPLASHES Slade! Satnam stands Slade up to TOSS him over McCallion! Then he choke grips McCallion to SLAM DUNK him! And DUNK him! And DRIBBLE him! Then Satnam stands tall, waits on McCallion, and he choke grips! Slade is up top, but Sonjay SHOVES him down! Lethal SUPERKICKS Slade! Satnam grabs Slade, too!

Satnam gives a Delirium a DOUBLE CHOKE SLAM! Then he scoops Slade to SLAM him on McCallion! Double stack cover, Satnam & Lethal win!

Winners: Jay Lethal & Satnam Singh, by pinfall

A lethal combination indeed! High-tens all around, and this could be the future of the ROH Tag Division! How much bigger will things get with Lethal & Satnam around?

Billie Starkz VS Mylo!

Conspicuous by her absence during Athena’s match, Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths has been a bit busy. She helped Momo Watanabe scare the belts of off Mercedes Mone, and even splashed The CEO with some tea. Will Billie finally start standing up for herself, even in ROH?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the two circle. They tie up, go around, and Billie’s height helps her push Mylo to the corner. The ref counts, Billie lets off to whip corner to corner. Mylo reverses, Billie stops herself and ELBOWS back! Billie bumps Mylo off buckles, then snapmares. Mylo ducks the roundhouse, then another, but not the HEEL KICK! Billie SOBATS Mylo down and the fans fire up. Billie “kicks rocks” at Mylo, then she fires a forearm. Billie bumps Mylo off buckles, then stomps away! The ref counts, Billie shouts, “OKAY!!” Billie fumes, then she ROCKS Mylo! Billie GRINDS Mylo’s face into the ropes!

The ref reprimands, Billie stops, and she whips Mylo. Mylo blocks by holding ropes! Billie still tries, but Mylo holds on. Billie CHOPS, whips, but Mylo stops herself. Bilile runs up, Mylo dodges, but Billie stops the stunner! Billie shoves Mylo to a corner, Mylo goes up and over and ROCKS Billie! Mylo runs up to KNEE Billie, then she fires a flurry of forearms! The fans rally, Billie SHOVES Mylo, but Mylo comes back! Billie stops the Monkey Flip to DUMP Mylo up and out! Billie gets mad now, and she builds speed to WRECK Mylo with a dropkick!

Winner: Billie Starkz, by pinfall

Billie’s confidence is back, and she’s racking up wins. Will it be third time’s the charm when it comes to that ROH Women’s World Championship?

Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara VS Jon Cruz & Olumide!

The Sons of Texas were put on notice by MXM Collection, but that warning won’t scare them off. Will The Natural & The Spanish God continue their tag team undefeated streak? Or could they be caught sleeping by Totally Not Serpentico and The Dark Fox?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the teams sort out, and Sammy starts against Olumide. The fans rally for Sammy as he and Olumide circle. Olumide dodges and soaks up the heat. Sammy spins Olumide around to CHOP, ROCK, and CHOP again! Sammy whips, hurdles, then backflips over Olumide to DROPKICK him down! Sammy kips up while Olumide scrambles away. Sammy has the fans all fired up, but Jon Cruz tags in. Cruz runs up, but into a hip toss! Sammy brings Cruz up, points to Dustin, and the fans fire up! Tag to Dustin and the Sons of Texas mug Cruz. Dustin drags Cruz up to wrench and wristlock.

Cruz ROCKS Dustin, soaks up the heat, then whips. Dustin LARIATS Cruz down! Cruz flounders to the wrong corner, and Dustin tags Sammy in. The Sons of Texas DOUBLE SUPLEX, then Sammy sets up for the STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Cruz stays in this, but Sammy keeps him from Olumide. Sammy suplexes, and he holds Cruz up! The fans cheer this on, but Cruz CLAWS Sammy’s eyes! Cruz bumps Sammy off buckles, tags Olumide, and Olumide stomps a mudhole in! Olumide digs his boots in, but lets off so Cruz can CLAW Sammy’s face! The ref keeps Dustin back, and Olumide gets another stomp in.

The fans boo but Olumide soaks it up. Olumide runs corner to corner, but Sammy DECKS Cruz and dodges Olumide! SUPERKICK! Olumide falls over, Sammy crawls, hot tag to Dustin! The fans fire up as Dustin rallies with LARIAT after LARIAT! Dustin whips, Olumide reverses, but Dustin says, “Not today!” UPPERCUT! Cruz runs in, into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Then SNAP POWERSLAM for Olumide! Dustin is fired up and the fans are with him! Tag to Sammy, FINAL RECKONING, and the SWANTON! Cover, Sons of Texas win!

Winners: Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara, by pinfall

But MXM slither in! They CLOBBER the Sons of Texas, stomp away on them, and fans boo! Mason CHOKES Dustin, Mansoor stomps away on Sammy! Mansoor says these are their titles! They will have them forever! Mansoor aims at Sammy while Mason holds him up. But Sammy slips away and Mansoor CLOBBERS Mason with the belt! Sammy ROCKS Mansoor, and puts him in the corner! Sammy opens Mansoor up, they tug-o-war for the belt, but Sammy SUPERKICKS Mansoor! Sammy has his belt back! And then Dustin winds up, SHATTERED DREAMS!! MXM scrambles away and justice is served!

The fans cheer as Sammy holds up his ROH World Tag Team Championship! Now to get all the silly MXM stuff off it. But will MXM insist on coming back for “their” belts? Or will no one stop the Sons of Texas?

Bandido & Gravity VS The Infantry!

The Most Wanted and the Lucha Astronaut are both healthy at the same time, so we can finally see the brothers battle side by side against brothers in arms! This is going to be quite the shootout, but can these Space Cowboys outdraw Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo? Or will they learn how to rumble, bad man, rumble?

The Code of Honor is upheld just barely, and the teams sort out. Gravity starts against Captain Dean, and while Carlie tries to start a chant for “S T P!” the fans prefer “Lucha! Lucha!” Dean and Gravity tie up, go around, and then break. Carlie says Dean is too strong and too big! Dean and Gravity feel things out, tie up, and Dean wrenches to a top wristlock. Gravity bridges, rolls, and trips Dean up! Gravity rolls Dean, runs, but Dean stays low. So Gravity space walks over him! The fans cheer, Dean takes a swing, but Gravity arm-drags him away! Dean is mad, and he kicks low! Carlie mocks the space walk but he looks more like a robot.

Dean ROCKS Gravity, has him in a corner, then whips corner to corner. Gravity goes up and sunset flips! Dean rolls through, but Gravity kips up to FLYING ARM-DRAG! And then another kip up to DROPKICK! A third kip up, and the fans cheer! Dean is frustrated, but Gravity space walks away to tag Bandido. Dean tags Carlie, and the fans fire up as these two run up.

Bandido rolls over the dropdown, whips, but Carlie hip tosses, only for Bandido to handspring through! Bandido whips and DROPKICKS Carlie down!

Cover, TWO! Carlie drags Gravity back to the corner, puts the bad leg in the ropes, and Dean tags in. Carlie holds the leg out for Dean to SHOTGUN!

Athena speaks.

The Fallen Goddess is with some new Minions in Training as she says, “Another historic victory for the Forever ROH Champion, the longest reigning champion in all of ROH history. But who’s the best?” The minions say, “Athena.” No, no, you gotta say that with more GUTS! Who’s the baddest? “ATHENA!” Who’s the best in the entire damn world? “ATHENA!” Wait, someone snatches the minion on camera right! It’s Diamante! The other minion runs off to go get the car warmed up. Diamante asks Athena, “Where’s Billie?” Athena says first, you address Billie as Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths. And second, she won’t talk about where Billie is.

Damn, that’s too bad. Because Diamante says she’s Minion #1 now. Wait, what? The Cuban Diamond storms off, and Athena is intrigued. Did Diamante just make herself Athena’s right hand woman? Why?!

The fans are thunderous and even Komander is loving this! Junior goes up to FLYING CROSSBODY! Gran goes down, Junior ENZIGIRIS! Junior then mule kicks and Gran tumbles out. Junior fire sup, builds speed, and he FLIES! Direct hit on Gran, and now Valiente and Dark Panther run in!

Euforia is freaking out that he got caught by his rival, but that’s why Blue Panther is a legend! He stands side by side with his sons in victory, will Dark Panther bring that ROH World TV Championship home to the familia?

My Thoughts:

A great ROH here for being just under 90 minutes. Very good lucha action yet again, and with some “squash” matches that weren’t really that. Brittne Brooks and Sonico both got to look good against Thunder Rosa and Beast Mortos, but of course Rosa and Mortos won out. I almost skipped The Gates VS TMDK, if not for Tito & Che starting off with an attack like that. Good win for Kaun & Liona, and here’s hoping they do get themselves a tag title story. Clearly, The Sons of Texas and MXM are not done with each other, but at least Sammy got his belt back. Maybe they go around one more time for the next ROH PPV event.

Good stuff from Lethal & Singh VS Delirium. I slightly remember Flex McCallion & Richie Slade from another time, but that was also a squash so I didn’t cover it. I do like their new look, but they of course got squashed again. Bandido & Gravity VS The Infantry was a great match, and it was great to see Bandido & Gravity work together. Great win for Bandido & Gravity, but nice tie in with the Learning Tree. Good promo from Jericho to run down Bill & Keith, but I’m still hoping we circle back to building a breakup. Bill needs to stand up to Jericho and fight for that ROH World Championship.

And good stuff with Athena and Billie, and now Diamante on top of it. Billie of course wins against Mylo, and while Catalina did great against Athena, of course Athena won. But Diamante wanting in on this Minion Overlord stuff is an interesting move. Granted, she wasn’t doing anything, so this is better than sitting around in the back. Diamante might also be using this as a way to get closer to the world title. After all, Billie made it to the ROH Women’s TV Championship under Athena’s “guidance,” and almost won the Women’s World Championship for it. Diamante could try and do the same, but then actually win the world title. It probably won’t happen, as I could see Billie screwing Diamante over or something. Triple Threat for Supercard?

My Score: 8.7/10
