Before their Collision with Eddie Kingston & Ortiz, Zack Gibson & James Drake look to get a little tune-up in. Will they teach Angelico & Serpentico how to #GritYourTeeth? Or can the South African Stud & #SNAKEMAN help Gibson & Drake chill out?

8 Man Tag: QT Marshall, Aaron Solow & The Von Erichs VS The Frat House!

God’s Gift to Wrestling was successful at World’s End as he, Big Boom AJ, and the whole crew humbled Roppongi Vice. But now QT & Aaron team up with Marshall & Ross to see if they can humble some Frat boys. Will they bring the DOOM via Iron Claws? Or will Preston Vance, Jacked Jameson, Cole Karter & Griff Garrison have a reason to party in Arlington?

Jameson of course has a mic to say, “Lemme hear ya say FRAAAAAAT HOOOOOUSE~! Our opponents tonight are a couple of Texas wrestling legends, The Von Erichs. Sorry, oh my God, that’s so embarrassing, I said that wrong. Our opponents tonight are sponges living off the NAME ‘Von Erich.’ And speaking of sponges, their partners, QT Marshall & Aaron Solo, have been sponging off of Big Boom AJ, and now they figured they’d leech onto the Von Erichs. The only thing spongy about The Frat House is our livers when it soaks up all this liquor we’re gonna drink tonight! Vance, tell ’em why!”

Vance grabs the mic to remind us that the number one rule is: Win or lose, we BOOZE! The fans boo as The Frat House finish their walk to the ring, letting QT & Solo make their entrance, followed by The Von Erichs.

Mixed Six Tag: MXM TV VS The Infantry!

Taya Valkyrie was offered an opportunity directly from Red Velvet to step onto the Proving Grounds, but it seems Mrs. TV chose not to go for it. Will she regret it now that she, Mansoor & Mason Madden have to face Trish Adora, Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo? Or will MXM TV show STP is not TV Ready?

MXM TV wants another Fingertip Touch of Honor, but The Infantry says no thanks. The trios then sort out, and it is ladies first as Taya starts against Adora. They circle, tie up, and Taya waistlocks.

Dean then winds up to LARIAT Mansoor down! Cover, TWO! The fans rally for “M X M!” but that annoys STP. Dean clamps on a chinlock and he grinds Mansoor down. Mansoor endures, fights up, and the fans rally as he hits a BIG back suplex! Both men are down, Dean grabs a leg, but Mansoor hops up! He reaches out for Mason, but he’s literally fingertips away! Dean YANKS Mansoor back, and ELBOW DROPS! Dean then BLASTS Mason!

Dean threatens to smack Taya, too, then he runs up on Mansoor. But Mansoor DUMPS Dean out, ENZIGIRIS, and he dodges Bravo! Bravo falls out of the ring, hot tag to Taya!

Adora survives but the fans rally for Taya. Taya runs back up, but into an ELBOW! Adora fires forearms, but Taya ROCKS her!

Taya fires another flurry, then roars, but Adora DECKS Taya! The fans are torn while Taya stumbles. Taya rises up, and she tells Adora not to mess with La Wera Loca, cabrona! The forearms fly back and forth and the fans fire up again! Adora dodges a boot, but so does Taya! Both women run up, DOUBLE LARIATS take them both down! The fans rally, Adora and Taya crawl, hot tags to Mason and Dean! Mason BLASTS through double lariats to DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE Dean & Bravo! ELBOW for Bravo, ELBOW for Dean, and a lEG LARIAT for Bravo! Then a dodge and BODY CHECK on Dean!

The fans fire up with Mason, he tags Mansoor, and they get Dean up! CHOKE SLAM PLEX COMBO! Cover, Bravo breaks it! Mason drags Bravo up, whips, but Bravo grabs ropes! Bravo DUMPS Mason, then PLANCHAS! Down goes Mason, and Bravo goes back to the ring. Mansoor gets Bravo with atomic drop to SPINEBUSTER! Dean kicks Mansoor, whips, but Mansoor reverses to TOSS Dean out! Mansoor DIVES! Direct hit on Dean! The fans fire up again, but wait, who is this tapping Mansoor on the shoulder? Mansoor turns around, but is in awe of her style and beauty. But then Bravo DECKS Mansoor! And now Bravo says, “Well hello, beautiful! I’ll be right back.”

Bravo brings Mansoor up, puts him in the ring, and Dean is ready. They lock ‘n’ load, 2 TO DA HEAD!! Cover, Infantry wins!

Winners: The Infantry, by pinfall

Well, the mystery woman at ringside aside, two-thirds of the ROH World Six Man Champions and their AfroPunk are victorious! Wait, Bravo really does go back to her and helps her step up and over the railing. She’s not Stori Denali tall but she’s still pretty tall. Will she become a new addition to STP’s numbers game?

ROH Women’s World Television Championship Proving Ground: Red Velvet VS Robyn Renegade!

Speaking of that Proving Ground match, Taya’s loss is another’s gain, as The Chef is now serving this Renegade a golden opportunity. But will it come with a side of bitter defeat? Or can Robyn earn a golden ticket in ten minutes or less?

The Code of Honor is not really upheld as Robyn slaps the hand away, and the bell rings. The two tie up as we’re on the clock, and Velvet headlocks. Robyn powers up but Velvet holds on.

Velvet flounders from that hard landing while the fans boo Robyn. Robyn tells them to cry more. Robyn storms out to the apron to fetch Velvet, then APRON NECKBREAKER! Velvet flops to the floor, and Robyn slides into the ring. Robyn tells the ref to count Velvet out, that’s good enough to win her a future title match. The fans rally while the count climbs, and Velvet rises up at 5 of 20. Velvet is on the apron but Robyn storms up.

Velvet RAMS Robyn, but Robyn CLUBS Velvet! Robyn then JUMP STMOPS Velvet down! Cover, TWO!! Velvet survives and Robyn is furious.

Winner: Red Velvet, by pinfall (denies Robyn Renegade a title match)

There was some serious spice in that left hand, she could’ve won this by knockout. That’s a hot and fresh L for Robyn, who else will step into the kitchen and look to stir it up with The Chef?

Tony Khan and Athena are backstage.

The AEW-ROH President & CEO is honored to be here on ROH TV, joined by the ROH Women’s World Champion, The Fallen Goddess, the Forever Champion, Athena.

A big show indeed, but which stars will shine brightest in the Lonestar State?

Blake Christian & Lee Johnson w/ Jay Lethal VS Alex Reynolds & Evil Uno!

The Swirl brought down Tommy Billington & Adam Priest, proving they’re the true proteges of the Franchise Player. Will Vanilla Baby & Big Shotty continue to build momentum towards title opportunities? Or can The Dark Order prove they’re still good enough?

The teams sort out and Uno steps up to Blake. Blake does not keep the Code of Honor as he flips Uno off instead. The bell rings, the two circle, but Blake cartwheels past Uno to Fargo Strut.

The Dark Order DOUBLE SLINGSHOT BACK SUPLEX! Then they DOUBLE BASEMENT DROPKICK! Cover, TWO!

Reynolds brings Blake up, but Blake RAMS him into the Swirl corner. The ref counts, Blake backs off, but Lee gets his shots in behind the ref’s back.

Blake BLASTS Uno, Lee LARIATS Reynolds up and out, and The Swirl hurries out after them. Blake brings a chair over, but the ref is busy with an angry Uno.

Lethal & The Swirl run away, and Lethal says they’re done with those guys! #AllGenres & The Dynamite Kid disagree, when and where will they get their revenge on The Swirl? Will they get their revenge?

My Thoughts:

A very good episode for ROH, especially for (what they recognize to be) episode 150. Nothing super amazing, though that’s apparently because they’re saving the big moves for two weeks, the first-ever ROH x MPX Global Wars. It’s only named that because they don’t have a better name for what’s really just a promotional crossover and not ROH going to another country. Either way, that’ll be fun to see some up-and-coming wrestlers, maybe the MPX stars can get signed to AEW-ROH and help fill more the ROH roster than the AEW one, because ROH needs something to spice up the title scenes, TK is barely developing the people he has.

I will say, I appreciate that GYV are the ones involved in this AEW-ROH crossover story with Eddie Kingston & Ortiz. Very good match with SAP that GYV of course won, and I was pleasantly surprised Eddie & Ortiz confronted GYV after being called out. Their Collision match will be very good, and I would think Eddie & Ortiz win. I also appreciated Archer’s squash match and Shane VS Kiran Grey being back to back, as I planned on skipping them both. Kiran Grey getting an actual entrance week after week is promising for him, as are these great showings he’s been getting, even in defeat. Perhaps Kiran Grey will also be All Elite soon enough.

STP of course won both their matches tonight, with the Mixed Six Tag being a very fun one. Arlington gladly accepted MXM TV as the Faces in this scenario, they’re all just that entertaining that they could make the turn if they wanted. But at the same time, they’re just that good as Heels, it might not happen. Lee Moriarty is also defending his Pure Championship against Xelhua again, but this time in a CMLL venue, that should be another technical classic. Good stuff in the 8 Man Tag, and I hate to say it, but I feel like Jacked Jameson has a point. But even so, the Frat House of course lost, The Von Erichs are very powered up in Texas.

Very good Proving Ground from Velvet VS Renegade, there was some nice innovation in this match, but I figured Velvet would win out. They teased it last week, but seems they’ll give us a slow burn build towards Velvet VS Valkyrie. And then a very good main event tag, but I figured The Swirl would win. Priest & Billington not leaving things alone is a good extension of the feud, and I still think Bandido should join them for a Six Man Tag to set up Bandido VS Blake once and for all.

My Score: 8.6/10
