Christopher Daniels talks with Top Flight.

The Fallen Angel tells Darius & Dante Martin, “I’ve known from day one that you are one of the most talented tag teams in all of professional wrestling. And that’s why I invited you to become part of SkyFlight when we started it all. But it seems the world of professional wrestling is taking you for granted. They seem to have forgotten how damn talented you both really are. And it’s time to change that. And I think we should change that by making some challenges in this company.

“For example, Sammy Guevara & Beast Mortos are the current ROH World Tag Team Champions, but I don’t see you gentlemen defending those championships often enough, or against top caliber talent like these men. So I suggest, I propose, I humbly offer, your next challengers, Sammy & Beast Mortos. I call ’em Top Flight and I call ’em the next tag team champions.” Dante steps up to say that when Sammy first showed up in AEW, he was supposed to be a Pillar. But everything he’s done since has proven otherwise. Sammy is an embarrassment to those titles! Top Flight represents doing everything the right way, the hard way!

Darius says what they’re really saying is that you can consider Top Flight as the alarm clock this Tag Division needs, because they’ve all been sleeping on them for way too long, and it is time to wake up. Sammy, Beast, step up or take flight. When and where will La Faccion Ingobernable answer the call?

MPX Women’s Championship: Abadon VS Ray Lyn!

The Living Dead Girl not only returns to ROH, but returns as part of this historic crossover, while also defending a title! But will Abadon’s reign of terror continue? Or will “The Miley Cyrus Of Professional Wrestling” come in like a wrecking ball and take the title?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who parties in the USA!

The bell rings and the two circle. Ray gets right in Abadon’s face, mocks the spooky, then pie faces Abadon again and again! Abadon screeches, HEADBUTTS, then SHOTGUNS Ray down! Ray goes to a corner, Abadon runs in and BACK BODY BLOCKS! Then Abadon goes side to side for a KNEE WASH! Ray sputters in the ropes but the ref counts. Abadon drags Ray out to GERMAN SUPLEX her across the way! The fans fire up as Ray flounders, and Abadon wants the fans to get louder. Abadon runs up, but Ray ELBOWS back! Ray whips, Abadon reverses, but Ray goes up, over, then THROWS Abadon down by that long blue hair!

Ray then rains down fists and elbows on Abadon! The fans rally for Abadon but Ray mocks them. Ray then winds up to KICK a leg! And then KICK the leg again! Abadon hobbles around, but Ray wrenches an arm and KICKS out the leg! Ray then brings Abadon up, but Abadon SLAPS back! But Ray trips Abadon, and drops an elbow on the leg! Then another elbow drop! Ray HAMMERS that leg, then DDTS the foot! The fans rally while Abadon writhes. Ray takes a bow, then grabs the leg to step over. Abadon endures the standing toehold, then kicks Ray down! Abadon stands up and has the standing toehold on Ray!

Ray’s shoulders are down, TWO as she reaches up. Ray kicks Abadon down and stands back up to turn the toehold back around! The fans rally as Abadon kicks Ray back down and stands back up! But then Ray turns Abadon over for a HALF CRAB! Then Ray shifts to SMASH the knee on the mat! Abadon writhes but Ray waistlocks. Abadon switches, Ray fights the lift and CLAWS the eyes! Then ROUNDHOUSE! Abadon falls, Ray covers, TWO! Ray is frustrated already but she drags Abadon up. Abadon fires body shots, ROCKS Ray, then ducks the kick! But Ray sweeps the legs! Ray mocks the fans cheering Abadon on and ties up the legs.

Ray has Abadon in a DEATHLOCK! Abadon endures, even as Ray puts on the pressure! Abadon crawls, reaches out, and drags Ray along to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Ray lets go, and she runs up on Abadon. Abadon ELBOWS Ray, BOOTS her, then LARIATS! And LARIATS! The fans fire up as Abadon ducks ‘n’ spins Ray, but Ray denies the cravat! Abadon comes back to still get a BLACKHOLE SLAM! Cover, TWO! Ray survives and Abadon is shocked! The fans rally up as Abadon clinches Ray, but the bad leg affects the stance! Ray rolls Abadon up, TWO! Abadon hurries but Ray BOOTS first! Ray then hooks a leg, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!

Not quite perfect but the fans fire up all the same. Ray brings Abadon back around, but Abadon wrenches out to clinch, FLATLINER! Cover, Abadon wins!

Winner: Abadon, by pinfall (still MPX Women’s Champion)

With a shriek of victory, Abadon holds up the belt but also clutches that leg. Can the Living Dead Girl keep this up? Or will someone bring an end to the reign of terror one way or another?

ROH Pure Championship Proving Grounds: Lee Moriarty VS Exodus Prime!

#TAIGASTYLE has been showing his opponents respect, but STP? Not so much. But will Moriarty be able to end this one in under ten minutes? Or will “The Final Boss” prove worthy of that golden ticket?

Lee staggers away to a corner while the fans fire up! Exodus runs corner to corner, LARIAT! ELBOW! GAMANGIRI! Then a snapmare and Exodus goes up, FLYING UPPERCUT! The fans fire up again and Exodus is feeling it. Exodus half nelsons, but Lee uses the British Escape to stop the full nelson! So Exodus HADOUKENS to the back! FULL NELSON BACK2BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Innovative, but not enough to put Lee away!

Exodus ducks a kick, but not the ENZIGIRI! Lee reels Exodus in, underhook, TIGER SIDESLAM! Cover, Lee wins!

Winner: Lee Moriarty, by pinfall (denies Exodus Prime a title opportunity)

With three minutes and 35 seconds to go, Lee busts out a new trick to seal the deal! Lee shows respect to Exodus, and no attack by STP, seems the respect him, too. But will nothing stop #TAIGASTYLE from being an untouchable ROH Pure Champion?

Mark Sterling meets with The Swirl.

Smart Mark lets Blake Christian & Lee Johnson know that they have the cameras here as he makes this huge proposition. But then Sterling has The Premier Athletes step in, and both Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari don’t like meeting with Vanilla Baby & Big Shotty. Sterling says this is a mediation session. We all know that Blake has a long-standing grudge with Bandido. We also know Mascara Dorada cheated to beat Nese. AND, let’s all be real here, they’re all sick and tired of the CMLL luchadores trying to take over ROH. And it cannot be unsaid that these four looked great together beating up Priest & Billington.

So here’s the offer: These four should all team up to take care of their lucha problem once and for all. Blake asks if Stori Denali will be there. Yes, wherever Sterling goes, Stori follows. Then The Swirl is in. They shake hands with Sterling, Sterling says this went very well, but as The Swirl leaves, Nese & Daivari want this properly explained. Sterling says The Swirl are great up-and-comers, this will benefit them all. Then will this Premier Swirl soon sour the mood of Bandido, Dorada, and their amigos? Or will Nese, Daivari, Christian & Johnson be the ones tasting bitter defeat?

MPX Championship: Delynn Cavens VS JD Griffey!

A historic night presents an amazing opportunity as this young champion makes his ROH debut while defending his title! But will Mr. DC get a Texas sized win in Arlington? Or will Griffey prove he is #Flawless?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s the Alpha Male of MPX!

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and then Griffey ROCKS Cavens! The fans boo but Cavens hits back! Cavnes runs, redirects, hurdles over, then slide sunder to kick, KICK, and ENZIGIRI! The fans fire up as Cavens handsprings up. But then Griffey SLAPS him! The fans boo but Cavens SLAPS back! And CHOPS! And then knuckle locks to go up, up, and jump around! But Griffey trips Cavens up for a HOTSHOT! The fans boo but Griffey goes out, suplexes Cavens, and gives him an APRON GOURD BUSTER! The fans boo again but Griffey CLUBS Cavens, then gives him an APRON X-PLEX!

The fans boo but Griffey lines up a shot! KICK to the arm! Cavens clutches his elbow, but Griffey hooks him up, PACKAGE SHOULDER BUSTER! Cover, GRIFFEY WINS!

Winner: JD Griffey, by pinfall (NEW MPX Champion)

It may not be an upset, but the fans are upset that #ShadyJD found a way to snatch this title from Cavens! Will Griffey make sure his reign is truly flawless?

Six Woman Tag: Athena, Billie Starkz & Diamante VS Deonna Purrazzo, Hyan & Maya World!

The Fallen Goddess and her Minions beat down on the Lonestar Cowgirls last week, then dared them to find a partner so they could have a fair fight. And wouldn’t you know? The ROH Women’s Pure Champion stepped up! Will the Virtuosa help The Renaissance Woman & #ThatGirl get even with the bullies? Or will the Forever ROH Women’s World Champion show everyone why BOTH ROH and MPX belong to her?

The trios sort out and the fans cheer Athena on, so clearly Texas belongs to her. Athena steps up, but then the fans cheer on Maya as she steps up! Billie tells the fans to shut up while Athena and Maya keep the Code of Honor. The bell rings, Maya and Athena circle, and the fans duel. Athena gets mad that there are ANY Maya fans, and she ties up with Maya. They go around, Athena hits a headlock takeover, but Maya headscissors. Athena kips free, they tie up again, and Maya hits the takeover but Athena headscissors. Maya kips free, the two get up, and the fans applaud the standoff.

Hyan covers, TWO!

The fans rally while Diamante coaches Billie. Hyan brings Billie up but Billie KNEES low. Billie whips Hyan, Maya tags in, and Hyan gator rolls Billie for the suplex!

Billie is shocked and Athena is furious! Diamante tries to keep the peace, but MIT still lost big in this crossover main event! Will the Fallen Goddess just have to accept that we live in Maya’s world now?

My Thoughts:

A great ROH, especially as a crossover special with MPX. Great card where really, that match of Bill & Keith VS “Surf & Turf” was the only filler. And even then, Braddah Kaimi & Phil Shark are a fun team, but of course they lost to Bill & Keith ahead of their Parking Lot Brawl for Collision. Great Mixed 8 Tag to open, great showing for the MPX stars, but of course STP won. And Christyan XO even got to fulfill her role as new source of interference. We even got some good promos to set up things for next week, aka ROH in Vegas. Top Flight calling out LFI was a good promo, and that’ll be a great tag title match, but I would think Sammy & Mortos win since they haven’t done jack and need to prove themselves as champions.

The Premier Athletes making a deal with The Swirl was interesting, so much for that Six Man Tag I thought would lead to Blake VS Bandido. It can still happen with this 8 Man Tag, but it’s certainly outside the box. Maybe Bandido VS Blake can be made for Revolution, as fans really like Bandido and would want to see him on an AEW program again. Great Proving Grounds matches, but naturally Velvet and Moriarty won out. ROH really needs to do more special episodes to start the year since there is just nothing while we wait for AEW Revolution. The ROH PPV schedule has been moved around a lot, too, they need to lock in and say “Supercard is ALWAYS here,” etc.

Great MPX title matches, with Abadon winning a great MPX Women’s Championship against Ray Lyn. I did not think they’d do a status quo change on ROH so that was quite the surprise for Griffey to win. Perhaps MPX wants Cavens and other Faces to chase Griffey going towards their own major shows in the Spring. And then a very good Six Woman Tag main event, with not only a great win for the Faces but also for Maya World. Maya & Hyan could get into the tag title story, but Maya could even find herself going back for an ROH title, such as THE Women’s World Championship. I still think there’s a lot to get out of Athena VS Deonna, one time for the Pure title, the other time for the world title.

My Score: 8.8/10
