Jeff Jarrett lays out Allie Katch, Jonathan Gresham retains ROH title at GCW Say You Will

Posted on by Josh Nason

Jeff Jarrett once again made his presence felt in a GCW ring Saturday, laying out Allie Katch with a guitar shot at GCW Say You Will.

Jarrett made a surprise appearance at the January 1st GCW Die 4 This, nailing Effy with a guitar shot. He was advertised for Saturday’s show, but it was unknown in what capacity he would be appearing.

After Katch (Effy’s tag team partner) had defeated Kylie Rae and was cutting a promo, Jarrett appeared and nailed her with his guitar, dragging her around with the shell afterward. Effy was not on Saturday’s show, but this likely sets up a match between them at next Sunday’s The Wrld on GCW pay-per-view.

Say You Will featured three title matches, headlined by Ring of Honor World Champion Jonathan Gresham retaining the gold over 2 Cold Scorpio. After the match, Blake Christian, Gresham’s challenger next Sunday, came out to shake the champion’s hand. Christian had beat former ROH World Champion Bandido earlier.

Also earlier in the night, Ricky Morton defeated Matt Cardona, preceded by Cardona coming out with the old ECW TV title as he claimed he was the new titleholder after beating Rhino (the final champion) at Friday’s GCW Most Notorious.

Cardona, accompanied by Chelsea Green, then proceeded to throw the title in a trash can and ripped Paul Heyman and WWE in a promo. Morton later picked up the win after a roll-up but was low-blowed by Green before Joey Janela came out for the save. Janela and Cardona go head-to-head next Sunday.

In other action, The Briscoes defended the GCW Tag Team titles against The Rejects (John Wayne Murdoch & Reed Bentley), followed by issuing an open challenge for next Sunday’s pay-per-view.

The night was headlined by a three-way deathmatch honoring the late Markus Crane as Jimmy Lloyd defeated Alex Colon & “Spyder” Nate Webb, now available for free on their YouTube channel.

Here’s the full results from Chicago, Illinois:

– Gringo Loco defeated Nick Wayne, Alex Zayne, Ninja Mack, Dark Sheik and Dante Leon in a six-way scramble
– Tony Deppen defeated “Speedball” Mike Bailey
– Blake Christian defeated Bandido
– Ring of Honor World Champion Jonathan Gresham defeated 2 Cold Scorpio to retain the title
– AJ Gray defeated PCO to win the GCW Extreme Championship
– Ricky Morton defeated Matt Cardona (w/ Chelsea Green)
– Allie Katch defeated Kylie Rae
– GCW Tag Team Champions The Briscoe Brothers defeated The Rejects to retain the titles
– Jimmy Lloyd defeated Alex Colon and “Spyder” Nate Webb in a three-way deathmatch

“Speedball” Mike Bailey is on his way to GCW.

The promotion announced today that Bailey will be appearing at four upcoming events, including this Saturday’s Say You Will show in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. He will also appear in Dallas on February 5, and Los Angeles on February 25 and 26.

After a visa issue had kept Bailey from entering the United States for five years, Impact Wrestling executive Scott D’Amore appeared at a Destiny World Wrestling event in Ontario in October 2021 and announced that the company was signing Bailey.

Bailey wrestled on Impact’s Hard to Kill pre-show this past Saturday, winning a four-way over Ace Austin, Chris Bey and Laredo Kid. He also took part in yesterday’s Impact television tapings, facing Jake Something.

Bailey joins this announced lineup for GCW Say You Will:

  • ROH World Championship match: Jonathan Gresham (c) vs. 2 Cold Scorpio
  • Disputed ROH title match: Bandido (c) vs. Blake Christian
  • Matt Cardona vs. Ricky Morton
  • GCW World Tag Team Championship match: Jay Briscoe & Mark Briscoe (c) vs. John Wayne Murdoch & Reed Bentley

Jeff Jarrett has been announced for GCW Say You Will. 

Jarrett, who made a surprise GCW debut at Die 4 This on January 1, has been announced for the Saturday, January 15 event in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. 

No official announcement has been made as to whether or not Jarrett will wrestle on the show, but a program with Effy appears to be the direction, as Jarrett attacked Effy with a guitar at Die 4 This.

Already set for Say You Will are a pair of ROH World Championship matches. Jonathan Gresham will defend the ROH World title against 2 Cold Scorpio on the show, plus Bandido will defend his version of the ROH title against Blake Christian. Bandido was ROH World Champion until being stripped of the title prior to the ROH Final Battle pay-per-view in December following a positive COVID-19 test. Gresham then went on to defeat AEW’s Jay Lethal in a match for the vacant title in the Final Battle main event. 

Also announced for Say You Will, PCO will face AJ Gray. GCW World Tag Team Champions Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe will also be in action on the show.
