*******
Zak Knight defeated Jon Cruz
This was far more competitive than any other Jon Cruz match I’ve ever seen, as this match went on for nearly ten minutes. Knight was in firm control for most of the match and eventually scored the win with the running forearm.
Tony Nese defeated Marcus Kross
Nese cut his typical promo to start, passing on group training to beat on local star Marcus Kross. Nese got the decisive win with a pumphandle piledriver.
ROH World Television Title Match – Kyle Fletcher (c) defeated Angelico
Fletcher took control early with a big bodyslam before mocking Angelico’s dance. Fletcher held serve until Angelico landed a strike combo before scoring a nearfall with an inside cradle. Fletcher cut off an Angelico springboard with a kick, but Angelico avoided a plancha and dropkicked him into the apron. Angelico rolled into the ring with a sunset flip for a nearfall.
Fletcher hit a cutter off of the ropes for a nearfall. Fletcher hit a running boot into the corner, but Angelico reversed a superplex and locked on a La Casita pin for a nearfall. Angelico locked on the Figure Four Ankle Lock, but Fletcher crawled to the ropes to break the hold. Fletcher caught Angelico with a half-and-half suplex, then hit the leg lariat and the reverse Tombstone to score the win and his second successful defense of the title.
Lexy Nair was backstage looking for Dalton Castle, who no showed their scheduled interview. She found him in a rolling crate. Castle said that he hadn’t slept since Final Battle due to Johnny TV’s interference in his TV Title match. Castle was upset that Johnny wouldn’t agree to a match with him, so he asked Lexy to convince Johnny to sign for the match. This was very silly.
The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) defeated Dave & Zane Dawson
The former NWA mainstays jumped the Righteous at the bell, isolating Vincent in their corner. Vincent quickly got to Dutch for a tag, leading to Dutch handling both Dawsons with ease. Dutch hit the Bossman Slam on Zane to get the win. After the match, the Righteous went to do the Misery ankle spot on Zane, but the referee held them off long enough for Dave to pull him out of the ring.
Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty were backstage with Lexy Nair, who informed them that their match against The Infantry was best of three falls. Taylor said that he would lead his team into battle and leave the Infantry laid out like he already had twice before.
Iron Savages (Boulder & Bronson) (w/Jacked Jameson) vs. The Boys (Brandon & Brent)
The Boys were battered by Boulder and Bronson, despite their best attempts to battle. The Savages scored the win with the Transformer Splash.
Cole Karter defeated Serpentico
Karter jumped Serpentico at the bell, but Serpentico used his speed to take Karter to the floor before hitting a dive. Serpentico went to the top rope, but Karter knocked him down to the floor to take control. Karter hit a main event spinebuster for a nearfall. Serpentico sidestepped Karter and hit a cutter for a nearfall. Griff Garrison & Maria came to ringside to support Karter, but Garrison quickly involved himself to help Karter score the win with a rollup with a handful of tights. Karter and Garrison beat up Serpentico until Angelico ran them off with a chair.
Johnny TV & Taya Valkyrie were backstage with Lexy Nair. Lexy brought up Dalton Castle’s challenge, but they both blew off the idea in favor of hyping Valkyrie up for the new Women’s TV Title.
Queen Aminata defeated Diamante, Trish Adora, Lady Frost
We got four-way action to start. Adora and Aminata fought for a backslide, but Diamante stacked them both up for a nearfall that Frost broke up. Frost ran wild for a moment, hitting a cartwheel cannonball for a nearfall. Everybody ran through some big moves, peaking with Adora and Aminata powerbombing Frost onto Diamante. Aminata landed a double stomp on Frost to score the win.
Josh Woods defeated LaBron Kozone
Woods scored the quick win with the Grit Your Teeth modified Go To Sleep.
The Infantry was backstage with Lexy Nair. They said that they would get their shot back on Shane Taylor Promotions tonight.
Taya Valkyrie (w/Johnny TV) defeated Robyn Renegade
Valkyrie got a quick win after a Blue Thunder Bomb and a Curb Stomp, which she’s now calling Shania Pain. Swear to god, I’m not making that up.
Billie Starkz was backstage with Lexy Nair, celebrating that Athena was taking some time off. Starkz was focused on winning the new ROH Women’s TV Title.
Leyla Hirsch & Rachael Ellering vs. Brittany Jade & Emily Hale
Hirsch and Ellering hit some tag team offense, developing chemistry against this local team. Hirsch sent Jade into a Bosswoman Slam from Ellering for the win.
After the match, Abadon appeared on the stage and menaced both Hirsch and Ellering. I’m afraid of any combination of these three people.
Slim J vs. Gravity vs. Blake Christian vs. Jack Cartwheel
Slim J and Cartwheel sent the other two out of the ring, allowing them to go back and forth in the ring. Cartwheel hit the handstand legsweep on the apron before launching back into the ring with an elbow drop. Gravity came back into the ring and sent Cartwheel flying with armdrags before locking on a submission. Christian broke the submission and ran wild, hitting the Fosbury Flop into a reverse DDT on Cartwheel.
Slim J ran wild, hitting the diving reverse DDT on Gravity before hitting a reverse Sliced Bread off of the ropes on Christian. Slim J hit a step-up hurricane kick on Christian for a nearfall. Christian came back, tying Slim J in the ropes and hitting a 619 to the leg. Cartwheel came back into the ring and hit a pair of cartwheeling leg whips and cannonballs.
The action came faster as all four men got more and more involved. Christian hit a leg trap Main Event Spinebuster, but Cartwheel caught him with a Death Valley Driver before hitting a Sasuke Special. Slim J cut him off with a reverse DDT off of the apron. Christian caught Slim J with a dropkick before locking on a Texas Cloverleaf for the win.
Athena sent in a video from her wrestling school. She was taking some time off to recover from some injuries, but Nyla Rose caught her by surprise and attacked her and her students. Rose chokeslammed Athena through a door and left her lying.
Christopher Daniels defeated Lee Johnson
Daniels held onto the ropes on a Johnson dropkick attempt, but Johnson hit a pair of back body drops to get back into things. Daniels dived out of the way of a high crossbody attempt to take control, scoring a nearfall with a gutbuster.
After a few minutes, Johnson scored with the dropkick to get some offense going. Johnson hit a Blue Thunder Bomb for a nearfall. They traded strikes before Daniels hit a flapjack. Daniels then hit the Angel’s Wings to score the win.
Two out of Three Falls –Shane Taylor Promotions (Lee Moriarty & Shane Taylor) defeated The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Shawn Dean)
They brawled at the bell, with the Infantry isolating Moriarty with a double team for a nearfall. They set Moriarty up for Boot Camp, but Taylor pulled Bravo out of the ring and hit a knockout punch. Taylor then brought Bravo into the ring and dropped him with another punch for the first fall.
Taylor hit a rebound lariat for a nearfall, keeping Bravo in the ring. Dean got the tag in and ran wild, hitting a butterfly DDT on Moriarty. The Infantry isolated Moriarty, hitting a pair of splashes to score the second fall.
All four men hit big shots to kick off the third fall, peaking with Dean hitting Taylor with a German suplex. Moriarty hit a pair of Yakuza kicks before Dean blocked a bulldog with a knee. Bravo and Taylor tagged in and traded shots before Bravo dropped Taylor with the Carlie Crossover for a nearfall. They finally hit Boot Camp on Taylor, but Moriarty broke up the pin. Taylor caught a charging Dean with a uranage, then Moriarty hit a Yakuza Kick and a lifting flatliner to score the third fall and win 2 falls to 1.
