– We kicked off the night with a video package setting the stage for Bandido vs. Bryan Keith for the ROH Men’s World Title, which will be our main event tonight.
After the opening, it was on to our opening tag match:
Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson) vs. Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson & Ace Austin)
Juice and Drake started off this tag match for their teams. After a feeling-out period with the chain wrestling, Drake held the upper hand with a front facelock. Juice got out of it and then rolled all over Drake, which upset Zack Gibson in the GYV corner. Drake fought back with punches, but he got felled by a shoulder block from Juice, who then did the “dog pissing” taunt on his downed foe. Drake dragged Juice back to his corner as Gibson tagged in. The GYV showed some great team work with Juice being taken out by a spinning wheel kick from Drake.
Legal man Gibson attempted a suplex, but Juice countered it and hit a strong axe kick on his foe. The tag to Austin as Juice slammed Gibson with a suplex. Juice and Austin performed the double Guns Up legdrop on Gibson. On the apron, Austin blocked Gibson’s attempt to trip him up as he hit him with a running big boot to his opponent. Austin headed to the top rope and leapt down to hit Drake with a kick to the gut. Attempted back suplex blocked by Gibson as the tag to Drake was made. The GYV hit Austin with a double rope guillotine, which allowed Drake to take advantage on his opponent.
The GYV hit the double clothesline on Austin, but that wasn’t enough for Gibson to pick up the win. Front facelock by Gibson led to a vertical suplex after some struggling. After a failed pin attempt, Gibson applied a chinlock that would make his fellow Brit Davey Boy Smith proud. The tag to Drake as another chinlock was cinched in on an isolated Ace Austin. The hold was broken by Austin, who used his strength to power into a Spicolli Driver. Gibson tagged in and attempted to stop Austin’s hot tag, but he couldn’t do so as the Juice was loose.
Juice hit the double high crossbody on both GYV members before he teed off on opposite corners with running attacks on Gibson and Drake. Juice punctuated it by sending Gibson right into Drake’s groin with the drop toehold. Bang Bang Gang hit the side Russian legsweep/springboard kick combo on Drake for a near-fall. Ace attempted to tag out, but that led to a roll-up from Drake for a near-fall. Gibson and Austin traded strikes before a blind tag allowed Drake to tag in. The GYV hit a flurry of double team attacks that culminated into a dropkick/Falcon Arrow combo that Austin kicked out of at 2.9999999. Gibson sent Austin out of the ring with a flip but he couldn’t capitalize just yet. However, a trap of the legs allowed Drake to hit a superkick. Juice Robinson barged right in and took out Gibson with the swingout DDT before he hit Drake with one of his own. Austin capped this opener up with The Fold for the royal flush.

Quite an entertaining opener here tonght between the BBG and GYV. I quite liked this one, and the BBG’s win makes the ROH tag team scene all the more interesting.

The Frat House (Preston Vance, Griff Garrison, Jacked Jameson) vs. SkyFlight (Scorpio Sky, Dante & Darius Martin)
Vance and Scorpio started off with shots, but the former hit a cheapshot to officially start this trios match. Dante showed off his agility after being tagged in with an arm drag and forearm on Griff. Vance got Dante with a cheapshot from outside the ring, which allowed Garrison to take advantage, which allowed the Frat House to keep Dante isolated in their side of the ring. Quick tags amongst the Frat Club allowed them to keep Dante grounded. Elevated double spinebuster by Vance and Jameson as the Frat House trio continued their assault.
Dante blocked a suplex attempt from Vance, but he got punched down afterwards. Dante finally woke up with a suplex on Vance, which created some much-needed separation and the tag to Darius. As Garrison came in for his team, Darius took him down with a running attack. Running elbow to Jameson followed by a two-for-one running spear into the corner by Darius. Scorpio tagged in as his slingshot TKO was blocked. Jameson missed badly on the running attack as the Martins took out Vance and Garrison on the outside. Finally, the TKO by Scorpio on Jameson got the win for SkyFlight.

An okay trios match. Not terrible by any means, but I didn’t really find myself hooked by this one.

– We got a video package from Lio Rush where he talked about “his shadow” as he was holding some slime in his hand. “The rain… the rain… no,” said Rush in his usual cryptic manner.
Royce Isaacs vs. Bishop Kaun
This hard-hitting bout kicked off with a very brief collar-and-elbow tie-up before Isaacs blocked a running shoulder block from Bishop. It turned into an exchange of running shoulder blocks that Bishop won out. Royce then grabbed at Bishop’s legs and attempted a submission hold. As Bishop reached the ropes, he kicked at Royce’s legs to take the early advantage in this match. Bishop hit Royce with chops to the chest before he targeted his legs once more.
Royce tried to punch back, but Bishop stopped that. However, Royce responded with a second-rope diving forearm that put Bishop on the ground. Royce chopped at the back of Bishop as he hit him with a kick, followed by the charging clotheslines and repeated strikes in the corner. Three-point stance by Royce turned into a running clothesline to Bishop. Royce lifted Bishop up for the pop-up Spicolli Driver for a near-fall. Royce attempted a half-nelson maneuver, but Bishop kicked at the thighs of his opponent. This allowed Bishop to hit some strikes before he shelled Royce with three German suplexes. One, two…. not quite. Knee to the face by Bishop, but that didn’t seem to affect Royce. Time for big meaty men slapping and kicking meat, but Bishop caught Royce for a standing Wasteland slam, followed by the Biyombe for the three.
Bishop Kaun def. Royce Isaacs via pinfall
This was a great, hard-hitting match that unfortunately was a bit on the short side. Honestly would’ve loved to see this go on a bit longer.

Mina Shirakawa & Queen Aminata vs. Sahara Seven & Kaci Lennox
Shirakawa and Sahara opened this match with a test of strength before the two traded strikes. Shirakawa laid in on the strikes to Sahara that sent her into the corner. Saharah missed with the attack in the corner, which allowed Shirakawa to go all in with a running clothesline. Aminata entered the match with a tag as she and Shirakawa connected with a double team attack on Sahara. Aminata held Sahara in a head scissors while Shirakawa kicked at her back. Finally, Kaci tagged in and stood face to face against Aminata.
Kaci connected with a suplex on Aminata, as she then hit her with a running flip neckbreaker. Sahara tagged in and hit Aminata with a spike cutter for the near-fall. Sahara lifted Aminata into a firewoman’s carry position but couldn’t capitalize. This allowed Shirakawa to tag in and unleash her whirling dervish offense. Kaci got hit with the tilt-a-whirl headscissors into the Fujiwara armbar, but that wasn’t enough for the win. Aminata took Sahara out of the equiation, which allowed Shirakawa to lock in the figure-four leglock on Kaci for the submission win.

A fun, quick tag battle here. Sahara and Kaci got their licks in and looked great hanging tough against a team like Aminata and Shirakawa. Wouldn’t mind seeing more of them in the future.

Caprice Coleman Chops It Up w/ Action Andretti
In this sitdown interview, Andretti started off by stating that this segment sucked because of the guests that appeared previously on this “show”. Andretti said that he was making this show better just by appearing.
Coleman asked Andretti first about what made a good relationship as he brought up the situation with Lio Rush and the Cru. Andretti said he could trust Lio, but he when Rush turned into the “Blackheart”, it’s as if Rush became a different person. Andretti said that Rush was a crazy person, but not at the level that he’s showing as the Blackheart. He noted that he couldn’t associate someone like that.
Andretti said that he was being ignored by Lio Rush in the midst all of this, no phone calls or anything. Andretti noted that Lacey Lane might’ve been pissed by all of this because how she might’ve felt like on top of the world with the Cru… until the group just ended. Andretti said that he wasn’t going to watch Rush be this creepy monster and he was going to do something about it.
Andretti talked about how this “new version” of him was how he’s been always. He said that Lio Rush was never on his level. Andretti pointed out that maybe the Cru was never meant to be with him as the Sight To Seee and Lio as the Blackheart. The interview wrapped with Andretti refusing to shake Coleman’s hand.
