**********
Live from the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia with Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness were on commentary.
Daniel Garcia (w/ Matt Menard) vs. Blake Christian (w/ Lee Johnson)
Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir came out as the bell rang to offer some advice to Daniel Garcia, with Moxley whispering something in Garcia’s ear. They left and Menard was confused on commentary. Garcia came out of the blocks aggressively with a hard back elbow. On the floor, Garcia caught Christian with a hard boot. Lee Johnson distracted Garcia, setting him up for a tope from Christian. Christian hit a standing moonsault off the barricade.
Christian wore down Garcia with a chinlock. Garcia broke free and came back with forearms and hard chops. Garcia hit a Twist ’n Shout swinging neckbreaker for a near fall. Christian came back with a springboard DDT. Christian went for a springboard 450, but Garcia caught him with a front guillotine, then transitioned into a piledriver and got the pinfall.
After the match, Schiavone interviewed Garcia about Moxley, but Garcia doesn’t want to talk about it. Instead, Garcia challenged Moxley to a match next week. Shafir and Wheeler Yuta came out to accept on Moxley’s behalf. Yuta reminded Garcia they’ve already slayed the “real American Dragon” before Shafir dragged him to the back.
Match Result: Daniel Garcia defeated Blake Christian (6:06)
— In the parking lot, the Conglomerations conglomerated with Roderick Strong. Kyle O’Reilly doesn’t even think the members of the Don Callis family are related!
Kyle Fletcher & Josh Alexander (w/ Don Callis) vs. Tomohiro Ishii & Kyle O’Reilly
It’s about time to run back Kyle vs. Kyle, and doing it in Philadelphia should result in some spectacular chants. Immediately the crowd started with “Let’s Go Kyle!” chants.
O’Reilly began the match with Alexander and some spectacular mat work while the fans chanted their love Don Callis as only Philly fans can. Ishii got the tag and got a pop. Ishii leveled Alexander with a forearm and ran through him with a tackle. After a consult from Fletcher on the floor, Alexander caught Ishii with a knee to take control. Tags were made on both sides for the first Kyle v. Kyle confrontation. “Let’s Go Kyle/Kyle Sucks!” O’Reilly caught Fletcher with a cross arm breaker into an anklelock, and somehow Fletcher got bloodied right at his left eye. Ishii caught Fletcher with more chops. Fletcher finally caught O’Reilly with a boot to send him to the floor, and Alexander followed up with a boot of his own to allow the Callis family to take control.
Back in the ring, Alexander missed a moonsault off the top on O’Reilly, and both men knocked each other down with a double clothesline. Ishii and Fletcher got the tags, and Ishii beat on both his opponents with forearms. Ishii sent Fletcher flying with a pounce. Ishii with a brainbuster on Fletcher for a near fall. Fletcher hit a superkick, Ishii came back and dumped him with a German suplex, so Fletcher dropped Ishii on his head with a Michinoku Driver.
Tags were made on both sides again, and O’Reilly and Alexander exchanged forearms. O’Reilly hit a knee and locked on a guillotine choke, but Alexander escaped with an ankle lock! O’Reilly countered that with an ankle lock of his own. O’Reilly hit a combination of strikes and a suplex for a near fall. O’Reilly locked in another arm bar, but Alexander escaped by getting to the ropes. More strikes from O’Reilly and Ishii, and they leveled Alexander with a Hi-Lo attack for a near fall, broken up by Fletcher.
The Kyles went to the floor where O’Reilly missed a running knee off the apron and hit the barricade. Fletcher then tripped up Ishii. Distracted, Alexander kicked Ishii low, then dropped him on his head with a package piledriver to get the pinfall. Great tag match, but the Kyles weren’t really in the ring against each other enough to get some really inspired chants from the crowd.
After the match, Roderick Strong came to check on O’Reilly, who was more interested in checking on Ishii.
Match Result: Kyle Fletcher & Josh Alexander defeated Tomohiro Ishii & Kyle O’Reilly (13:00)
— Thekla and Jamie Hayter brawled in the parking lot.
— In a different part of the parking lot, Mother Wayne tried to moderate a truce between Kip Sabian and Killswitch, with little success.
Hologram vs. Jay Lethal
The match opened with both guys exchanging holds and counters, with neither gaining an edge until Lethal caught Hologram with a backbreaker. Lethal followed that by sending Hologram face down to the mat out of a suplex.
Lethal charged in for a clothesline, but Hologram caught him with an enziguri. Lethal powered Hologram up for a suplex, but Hologram escaped and caught Lethal with a small package for two. Lethal hit a snap suplex. Letha hit a springboard dropkick to send Hologram to the floor, and he followed him out with a tope. Lethal threw Hologram back in the ring, but as Lethal caught his breath on the floor, Hologram quickly came back to hit Lethal with a tope of his own!
Back in the ring, Hologram hit a high-angle death valley driver for a near fall. The crowd chanted for both men as Hologram climbed to the top. Hologram dove off the top into a Lethal Combination. Lethal went to the top for an elbow, but Hologram turned that into a cradle for another near fall. Lethal countered a submission attempt from Hologram with the figure-four leg lock, but Hologram got the ropes. Lethal went for a Lethal Injection, but Hologram caught him with a backstabber. Hologram hit a helicopter sitout powerbomb to get the pinfall. This was Hologram’s 31st victory.
After the match, Hologram’s music “glitched” again (like it did last night at Death Before Dishonor). This time the arena lights turned red and the screen read “Clon activated.”
Match Result: Hologram defeated Jay Lethal (9:54)
— Ricochet with the Gates of Agony and The Hurt Syndicate cut pre-taped promos on each other in a video package. MVP said Ricochet started a war he can’t win, while Ricochet demands respect.
Alex Windsor vs. Ashley Vox
Windsor shouts her last name a lot. A powerbomb and a sharpshooter leads to a quick tap out from Vox.
After the match, Schiavone interviewed Windsor in the ring, stirring stuff up between she and Mercedes Mone. Windsor does not appreciate Mone making jokes about Will Ospreay injuries and wants a match with Mone in Philadelphia.
Match Result: Alex Windsor defeated Ashley Vox (1:11)
— Under an overpass in Philadelphia, Lexi Nair moderated a face-to-face between Mark Briscoe and Don Callis. If Briscoe can beat another member of the Don Callis family (probably Lance Archer I’m guessing), then Briscoe gets a TNT title shot with Kyle Fletcher.
FTR vs. JD Drake & Adam Priest (8:50)
No Stokely Hathaway with FTR after Wednesday. Dax Harwood was caught in the opposite corner for a bit and has his leg worked over. Drake caught Wheeler with a slingshot senton. He went to the top for a moonsault, but Wheeler distracted the ref so Harwood could crotch him on the top rope, then clothesline him to the mat.
Coming back from commercial, Drake hit the moonsault on Wheeler for a near fall, and the crowd was going nuts. FTR took Drake out with a Shatter Machine. Priest tried to fight off both members of FTR. Harwood cut him off with a jab. The crowd chanted what FTR used to mean at Dax and Cash. Priest German suplexed Harwood out of the corner. Harwood leveled him with a lariat. Harwood sent Priest into the corner shoulder-first several times. Harwood locked in Adam Copeland’s version of the crossface and Priest tapped out.
After the match, Cash cut a promo, trying to shout over the crowd’s boos. Cash’s shouting promo wasn’t great, but Dax took the mic and redeemed it. All Out should have been a dream match between eras, but now it’s going to be the end of the careers of Copeland and Cage.
Match Result: FTR defeated JD Drake & Adam Priest (8:50)
— A recap from Death Before Dishonor, where Sammy Guevara chose Rush as his mystery partner to win the held up ROH World Tag Team Championship. Guevara turned heel in the process and joined Los Facción Ingobernable.
— In a loading dock next to a dumpster, Lexi Nair got words from the Don Callis Family. Josh Alexander is going after Kenny Omega in the 8-man tag on Dynamite, and it sounded like Kyle Fletcher might be targeting Adam Page.
Big Bill (w/ Bryan Keith) vs. Juice Robinson (w/ Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn cutouts) (9:28)
The commentators brought up how Big Bill and Bryan Keith learned a lot under Chris Jericho. Robinson worked Bill over with a side headlock. Bill tried to escape with a back suplex, but Robinson held on the headlock! Bill finally escaped, did a nice leapfrog to avoid Robinson’s charge, then sent him to the floor with a nasty boot.
The fight went to the floor where Robinson and Bill sent each other headfirst into the big support beam in the middle of the entrance way. Back in the ring, Bill hit a clothesline for a near fall. Bill slowed things down with a bearhug, but Robinson elbowed and bit his way out of it. Bill miss a splash in the corner, and Robinson went to work on Bill’s knee. Robinson went low with a sliding dropkick. Robinson peppered Bill with rights, hit a shotgun dropkick, and delivered the Left Hand of God for a near fall. Robinson went to the top, but Bryan Keith jumped on the apron to distract him. Robinson took Keith out with a clothesline, but then walked right into a Black Hole Slam and Bill got the pinfall.
Match Result: Big Bill defeated Juice Robinson (9:28)
— Sky Flight want the ROH World Six Man Titles.
— Gabe Kidd wants Darby Allin in a fight next week in Philadelphia.
Toni Storm, Mina Shirakawa & Queen Aminata vs. Billie Starkz, Julia Hart & Skye Blue (12:01)
I think one side is short a couple of stars.
Crowd was very much into Toni Storm, who outwrestled Blue in the opening minutes. One determined fan chanted for Bille Starks, so Blue tagged her in. She got some offense in until Storm put her down with a backbreaker. Then the babyfaces had their way with Starks. Stakrs escaped and tagged in Hart. Aminatia floored Hart with a forearm and suplexed her to the mat. Aminata drove Hart to the mat with a sit-out full nelson drop, then gave her the Chocolate Kisses. After the other heels were dumped to the floor, Aminata held Hart open for the hip attack from Storm. Shirakawa took out all the heels with a crossbody to the floor.
Back in the ring after a commercial, Aminata took Hart down with a twisting neckbreaker. Tags were made, and Storm hit Skye Blue with a pair of shotgun dropkicks. A German suplex and hip attack followed. Hart tried to run in and got dumped with a German suplex. Hart got her nose bloodied on a shot from Storm, which I think messed up a spot or two.
Storm floored Blue with a clothesline. Shirawaka took Hart down with a slingblade. Mina tied up Hart’s legs with a cloverleaf, but instead of stepping over like a sharpshooter, Mina snapped back to the mat. Shirakawa locked Hart in a figure-four, but Blue turned them over to reverse the hold. Aminata and Storm suplexed Starkz on the floor, but Blue caught Storm and Aminata with kicks. Starkz got the tag and came off the top, but Mina ducked and caught Starkz with an elbow. Shirakawa finished off Starkz with the Glamorous Driver to get the pinfall.
After the match, Thekla ran in and attacked Shirakawa and Aminata, giving the 4-3 edge to the heels. Blue and Hart double teamed Storm with a face-first suplex and a double thrust kick. Thekla finished off Storm with a spear. The Triangle of Madness did the same to Shirakawa and Aminata. The Triangle of Madness stood over the babyfaces to end the show.
Match Result: Toni Storm, Mina Shirakawa & Queen Aminata defeated Billie Starkz, Julia Hart & Skye Blue (12:01)
