ROH Pure Championship: Deonna Purrazzo VS Billie Starkz!

The Virtuosa knows The Fallen Goddess thinks she runs ROH, yet Athena won’t face her head on. Deonna is giving Minion 400,237 this match almost as a courtesy, but will she come to regret it? Or will she teach Billie how to speak Purrazzo?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we run back the Women’s Pure Championship Tournament finals!

Billie offers The Code of Honor, but Deonna is wary of the left handshake. Billie says it’s the Code of Honor, they gotta keep it. Deonna takes the handshake, the bell rings, and Billie KNEES Deonna low! The fans boo but Billie whips Deonna, only for Deonna to duck, dodge, and wrench for a short arm LARIAT! Billie bails out to throw a tantrum, and she talks trash on the fans booing at her. Billie huffs ‘n’ puffs around ringside, complains to Bobby Cruise, then has the ref back Deonna off from the ropes.

Alec Price & Jordan Oliver VS Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds!

Buster & The Brain are back in action, hoping to chase down those ROH World Tag Team Championships. But the same goes for The Dark Order, who have been starving for opportunities. Will Uno & Reynolds prove The Dark Order is good enough? Or will Price & Oliver soon take over the world?

The Buster & The Brain score big here tonight! Will they soon be plotting to take down La Faccion Ingobernable and take the tag titles?

Backstage interview with Persephone.

Lexy Nair is with the CMLL Women’s World Champion and says to go back to the end of 2025, despite the loss to Athena at Final Battle, Perse built momentum to start 2026 and just signed her dual contract to be #AllElite. Perse stops Lexy there and says in both Espanol and English, there’s no need to live in the past, let’s live in the present. Because yes, 2026 is the Year of Persephone, the Wrestling Gods want Persephone on top. It has been win after win after win, and she thinks ROH was meant for her, too. This will be hers! Where can she go to get a title around here? Because this place now belongs to Persephone.

But hold on, she doesn’t need to be here right now, because Lexy is bringing up her past, her failings, that’s just disgusting. Adios. Perse storms off, but does she have a point? Will the Goddess of the Underworld soon add more gold to her collection?

After Mixed Six Tag: Isla Dawn & Grizzled Young Veterans VS Valentina Rossi, Rosario Grillo & The OXP…

Zack Gibson & James Drake make Grillo GRIT HIS TEETH, and that secures them the victory. The problem is, the White Witch makes Rossi pay for her part in this with a DRAGON SLEEPER! So Team SkyFlight rushes out here for the save! The fans cheer as Top Flight & The Real Deal get after GYV & Isla! They TOSS GYV and Isla out, but Gibson claims SkyFlight are cowards! Scorpio Sky says turnabout is fair play! But when and where will these mixed trios settle the score?

After Six Man Tag: The Lethal Twist VS The Supastarz…

Lee Johnson & Blake Christian hit the DOUBLE STOMP ROLLING DEATH VALLEY, Jay Lethal adds the MACHO ELBOW on top, and that wins it for The Lethal Twist. However, that wasn’t enough for them, and they all beat up on the rest of The Supastarz! The fans boo but Lethal puts on a FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK! Blake then puts another on the ropes, he wears the stolen mask, and he aims his finger gun! But here comes BANDIDO! And he’s not alone, as Adam Priest & Tommy Billington rush out here with him!

The Outlaw & British Bulldogs run off The Lethal Twist, but these chickens won’t get to run away for long! When and where will The Most Wanted ROH World Champion finally humble Vanilla Baby, Big Shotty & The Franchise Player?

ROH World Television Championship: Nick Wayne w/ Shayna Wayne VS Komander!

It was back in April that the Prodigy took this title from the Commander of Space, only to be sidelined with a broken foot in September. Now, six months later, Nick is finally back to 100% and ready to defend this title against Komander in a highly-anticipated rematch! Will Nick still be on top after all this time? Or will Komander beat the brakes off of Nick and take the title back?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who defines ROH TV!

Jacksonville reminds Nick, “Your Mom’s Hot! Your Mom’s Hot!” Nick doesn’t wanna hear it but Mama Shayna doesn’t mind. The Code of Honor is reluctantly upheld by Nick, and the bell rings. Nick rolls Komander right up! TWO, and Komander CHOPS! Nick KICKS low, whips, but Komander wheelbarrows to arm-drag! Komander keeps on Nick with a whip but Nick reverses. Komander goes up, up, and over, but Nick slides out! Komander handsprings to then build speed and DIVE! Direct hit on Nick at the ramp! The fans cheer Komander as he puts Nick back in! Komander goes up the corner, but Nick scrambles to his feet!

Nick SHOVES Komander down! Komander hits the floor and tumbles! The ref hurries to check Komander. Komander clutches his knee, but he’s otherwise okay to continue. The fans cheer on “Nick Wayne’s Mom!” instead of Nick, but Nick goes out to put Komander in the ring. Nick stalks Komander, then drags him up to whip to the corner. Nick runs up, blocks the boot, and puts that leg in the ropes! Nick CHOPS Komander, then DRAPING DRAGON SCREWS the other leg! The fans boo but Nick claps and smiles. Nick taunts Komander, stalks him again, then drags Komander around. Nick stomps the bad leg, then stomps again.

Shayna says her son is doing a great job. Nick stomps Komander’s leg again, then DDTS the foot! The fans boo but Nick covers, ONE!! Komander is tougher than that but Nick just drags him around. Nick ELBOW DROPS on the leg, then drop toeholds! Nick grins, then he ELBOW DROPS the leg again! The fans rally, Nick steps over the leg, and hits a KNEE JAMMER! The fans boo but Nick taunts Komander by swaggering around. Nick then grabs Komander’s other leg, steps through, and puts on a FIGURE FOUR! The fans still “WOO~” but they also rally as Komander endures. Komander reaches out, but Nick puts on the pressure!

Komander CLUBS at Nick’s legs, then drags Nick along to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts while Nick CLUBS Komander’s leg, and Nick lets go at 4. Komander clutches the knee while the ref reprimands Nick. Nick taunts Komander again, then drags him back to center. Nick has the toehold but Komander kicks at him! And kicks again! And kicks again! Nick falls back and the fans fire up! Komander and Nick both go to corners, then stand up. Nick runs in, but into a BOOT! Komander KICKS and KICKS and KICKS again, but Nick kicks low! Nick runs, but into a RUNNING ELBOW!

Komander stands, uses the ropes to stretch the leg out, and he goes back fo rNick.

Komander has Nick in the facelock, but he fights the suplex. Komander kicks the leg, CLUBS Nick on the back, but his own leg bugs him. Komander still tries but Nick blocks the lift! Nick RAMS Komander into the corner, then runs up again, only to be put up top! Komander SHORYUKENS! Nick falls to the apron, but Komander stands him up. Komander knuckle locks, CHPOS, and goes up, up, only for Nick to shove him down! Nick rams his shoulder in, but he blocks Komander’s knee! Nick counters the counter and DRAGON SCREWS the leg!

Nick CLUBS away on Komander’s legs until the ref counts 4. The fans rally harder for Komander as he crawls away, but Nick stalks him again. Nick KICKS Komander in the side, then taunts him. Nick scuffs Komander, stomps him, then eggs him on. The fans boo but Nick says time’s running out. The fans chant “You Suck!” and Komander CHOPS!

Nick then hurries to get the Figure- CRADLE! TWO!!! ROUNDHOUSE from Nick! He hooks Komander in a pump handle for a BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, Nick wins!

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

As Shayna Wayne says, the title ain’t going anywhere! The Prodigy proves he can still ace the test even with all that time off. But while he overcame Komander, and disrespects him as he steps over him, will Nick be able to hold onto his gold against the long line of contenders waiting for him?

My Thoughts:

A very good ROH, but not sure it needed to be 90 minutes. Good stuff in all those admittedly filler matches, like Davis beating Angelico, Robyn finally getting a win in a long time, and of course Adora & XO getting a win so that STP can now be represented in the Women’s Tag Division. Very good win for Price & Oliver over Dark Order, I really do hope they get to interact with Sammy Guevara & Beast Mortos for the ROH World Tag Team titles. Rather interesting that they had the same trios feud builds: Heels beat up on jobbers because they can, the Faces show up, and the Faces cause the Heels to retreat. But a Mixed Six of Isla & GYV VS SkyFlight will be a lot of fun, and obviously we just need to have Bandido, Billington & Priest VS Lethal Twist already.

Very good stuff in the ongoing story of Athena & Minions VS Deonna, Maya & Hyan. Very good Pure Rules match from Deonna VS Billie but I say again, cut the time limit down, they didn’t even hit double digits. Billie basically jobbed to Deonna, and then we got that brawl. I still stick by how Athena and Deonna should battle to be double champion. First, Athena can lose to Deonna under Pure Rules, so that Athena’s first loss in literal years happens without her losing that title. Then Athena can cheat to win and retain her Women’s World Championship, maybe. I would think Athena beats Maya next week anyway, so they could do Athena VS Deonna for Supercard 2026.

I know I’ve said it before, but I will say again that they didn’t do ROH any favors NOT giving us an Interim ROH Men’s World TV Champion. They did that for the Women’s World TV title so that Mina Shirakawa could have it, lose it to Mercedes Mone, and then Mercedes could lose it to Red Velvet. The same could’ve been done with the Men’s TV title, where Komander or Lee Johnson had it, someone else won it, and then Nick Wayne returns to feud with that interim champion to crown an Undisputed World TV Champion. That said, Nick winning to retain the title here, that’s fine. It was a very good match, and Nick working over an opponent’s leg would be a really good game plan gimmick, because it references his own leg injury that kept him out.

My Score: 8.7/10
