BVV: TNA Impact review with build to No Surrender

Posted on by Vincent Verhei

Heading into the first app special in the AMC era, TNA presented an episode of Impact last Thursday with some good wrestling, some baffling booking, and some insufferable backstage segments.

The good wrestling included Trey Miguel vs. Adam Brooks, Mustafa Ali and Jada Stone shining in a mixed tag team match, and a Knockouts trios match that featured how to work smarter, not harder.

The baffling booking included builds for a bunch of matches and programs that are apparently not going to be a part of No Surrender.

And the backstage segments included several minutes of TV time devoted to a guy who was fired last week and what looked like a deliberate attempt to make the babyface authority figure as unlikeable as possible.

WOL: AMC doesn’t need TNA to be another zombie show

It’s the Saturday Wrestling Observer Live with Jim Valley.

The TNA on AMC debut sputtered at times like an AMC Pacer. It’s been almost 25 years. It doesn’t matter who’s in charge, TNA management always seems to let talent down on the production and organization side. Thursday was no different.

Plus, something TNA on AMC didn’t tell you: what the main event is for tonight’s Genesis PPV. That came later.

WWE SmackDown built towards both the Royal Rumble and Saturday Night’s Main Event with some new faces getting opportunities.

Also, if you check out this show on our YouTube channel, you can see some of the Japanese wrestling merch I got while I was in Tokyo for Wrestle Kingdom 20. Or don’t go to YouTube and just listen to me describe it poorly. Your choice. You have options.

TNA Wrestling announces signing of tag team ahead of title match

Posted on by Ian Carey

TNA Wrestling has locked up a tag team that will challenge for the World Tag Team titles at Genesis.

The Righteous, Vincent and Dutch, told Denise Salcedo on Saturday that they have signed with TNA. They are scheduled to challenge Matt and Jeff Hardy on tonight’s pay-per-view.

“The Righteous are here in TNA and we’re excited to see what happens for us in TNA. Everything that we’re doing right now with the Hardys is really exciting and it’s going to play out even bigger,” Vincent said.

“Here to stay,” Dutch added.

TNA later wrote in a press release:

“The Righteous made their jaw-dropping arrival in TNA Wrestling in December at TNA Final Resolution, as they confronted Jeff & Matt Hardy, leading to a series of cryptic mind games with the TNA World Tag Team Champions.”

Vincent and Dutch had been wrestling under the AEW/ROH banner since 2023. In May 2025, the team’s profiles were removed from the AEW roster page. They first appeared on TNA programming last month, confronting the Hardys and beginning an angle set to continue tonight at Genesis.

Multiple debuts at TNA Final Resolution

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Multiple wrestlers made their surprise TNA debuts at Friday night’s Final Resolution event.

In an unannounced open challenge on the Countdown to Final Resolution pre-show, Bear Bronson and Brock Anderson made their TNA debuts alongside CW Anderson as the opponents for The System’s Brian Myers, Eddie Edwards, and Moose. CW has worked occasional dates for TNA dating back to 2004. Brock took the pin from Myers in the trios match.

Vincent and Dutch of The Righteous also debuted on the Final Resolution program, confronting Matt and Jeff Hardy after the Hardys retained their TNA Tag Team titles in a victory over Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe of WWE NXT.

Prior to the Tag Team title bout, a mystery vignette aired on the video wall allowing Dupont and Igwe to get a jumpstart on The Hardys. The vignette was a tease for The Righteous.

The Righteous left AEW and ROH earlier this year.

Our full report from Final Resolution is available here.

Report: The Righteous finishing independent dates amid WWE interest

Posted on by Bryan Rose

The Righteous could be heading to WWE.

Fightful Select is reporting that Vinny and Dutch have informed some promoters that they are finishing their independent dates in the coming months. The report says according to WWE, the company has interest in them and are likely to be signed.

It was reported back in 2022 that the duo were taking part in a tryout for WWE with other independent wrestlers. However, they were never signed, and instead signed with AEW in 2023. They became associated with Jake Roberts and mostly wrestled on Collision and Ring of Honor events. Their profiles were removed from AEW’s website in May, with reports confirming that they had left the company. Their last notable match was at last year’s Final Battle, where they lost to Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara in a double bullrope match.

The Righteous were formed in Ring of Honor prior to Tony Khan purchasing the promotion. During their time in the company, they held the ROH Six-Man Tag Team titles along with Bateman. They also had a brief run in Impact Wrestling.

The Righteous gone from AEW, profiles removed from website

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Dutch and Vincent are no longer with AEW.

PWInsider initally reported that they are no longer with the company, with Bryan Alvarez confirming. The AEW roster page also indicates that both Dutch and Vincent’s profiles have been removed. Their last match was on the April 12 ROH tapings, when they teamed with The Premiere Athletes to defeat Spanish Announce Project and The Kingdom in an eight-man tag team match.

The two had been mainstays at Ring of Honor prior to Tony Khan buying the promotion in 2022. The following year, they made their return to the company. They aligned with Jake Roberts initially but mainly stayed on Collision and ROH events. Their last notable match was at Final Battle last December where they lost to Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara in a double bullrope match.

AEW has had a few high-profile releases in 2025, most notably Rey Fenix, Ricky Starks, and Miro. All three ended up signing with WWE, with Starks becoming North American champion in NXT and Fenix having a high-profile match with El Grande Americano at WrestleMania. Miro returned to WWE on the Raw following WrestleMania using his WWE name, Rusev.

Ring of Honor TV live results: Two tag teams return, WCW’s Crowbar in action

Posted on by Jeff Moss

Tonight’s Ring of Honor on HonorClub features two key tag teams making their return in addition to Crowbar of WCW fame making his promotional return.

The 51-year-old Crowbar, formerly known as Devon Storm, first appeared in ROH in 2011 with his last appearance coming in a 2020 battle royal. He takes on Lance Archer tonight.

Several tag teams will be in action including the returning Righteous (Dutch & Vincent); the returning Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett); The Premier Athletes’ Tony Nese & Ari Daivari; as well as the Spanish Announce Project (Angelico & Serpentico).

Both Taven and Bennett and Dutch and Vincent last wrestled in ROH in December.

In an eight-man tag, Mark Briscoe teams with Top Flight and AR Fox against Shane Taylor, Lee Moriarty and The Infantry.

ROH Women’s TV Champion Red Velvet will put a future title shot on the line in a Proving Ground bout.

**********

Fresh off the cancellation and rescheduling of Supercard of Honor (see you in July!) and in spite of a treasure trove of returns, Episode 113 of ROH on Honorclub was chock full of question marks. Most of those question marks would be who the returning wrestlers would be facing in the ring, but also “would there be hot dogs?” My wife’s answer: doubtful

The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) & The Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese) (w/Mark Sterling) defeated Spanish Announce Project (Angelico & Serpentico) & The Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett)

So, Ring of Honor decided that with so many tag teams returning, why not put them all in the same match? There was no indication that this 8-man match was happening until it did, so, cool? Anyway, Daivari and Nese are like PB and J in the ring, with Sterling making the nice white bread that surrounds them. The Kingdom  haven’t been seen since Final Battle 2024. My assumption is that they have been using the time to find new and exciting baseball caps for Bennett to wear backwards. 

Spanish Announce Project are back from somewhere with lots of black lights and a chilled out vibe, I assume, and when we last saw Dutch and Vincent they were torturing and ultimately losing to the Sons of Texas at Final Battle. Now, having spent some time… doing who knows what, they are back and looking to prove they haven’t missed a step

The match began and The Righteous Athletes worked well together, often isolating a member of the opposing team for some stiff shots and skullduggery. Sterling got involved whenever someone was outside of the ring. The Spanish Announce Kingdom did something unexpected, which was play by the rules. I guess Bennett and Taven are returning with a new, good guy attitude? It might have something to do with Bennett’s new beard.

It was great to see Dutch and Vincent back. They are honestly one of the most exciting teams in wrestling right now and they are completely unorthodox. It was interesting seeing them paired with the Athletes who are so technical based, but never above a little cheating to get the job done.

Bennett got a hot tag to Taven at one point and he single-handedly cleared the ring. Daivari was the legal man in there with him, but that didn’t stop Dutch and Vincent from executing a little double teaming. Angelico saved the day though, taking out Dutch on the outside. Sterling tried to cause a distraction and ate a double superkick from the Kingdom, which was always nice to see.

In the end, Serpentico was left to the Righteous’ devices and after an orange sunshine, Vincent made the pin to get the victory. The Athletes celebrated like they got the pin and Dutch flicked his tongue at them until they left. Weird.

Match Result: The Righteous (Dutch & Vincent) & The Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese) (w/Mark Sterling) defeated Spanish Announce Project (Angelico & Serpentico) & The Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett)

Lance Archer (w/Don Callis) defeated Crowbar

Bad haircuts aside, anyone with “murderhawk” in their nickname such as Lance Archer is a dangerous person to be around (even though I have no idea what a murderhawk actually is. The bird is just trying to eat, Lance. It’s not a crime). Archer has thrown in with Don Callis of the eponymously named Callis Family which makes him even more dangerous. Crowbar (Yes, the Crowbar that used to hang with David Flair in WCW) was last seen helping me move a large rock. Then I put him down somewhere and haven’t been able to find him since. 

So, if it isn’t obvious, Crowbar is very old. That said, he’s still pretty entertaining. I don’t quite understand the thinking in bringing him in to essentially just get beaten up by Archer, but that’s what happened.

Crowbar managed to to more damage to himself than Archer did though. He began by taking back bumps in the ring for no reason, then threw himself over the top rope where Callis stomped him. There may have been method to the madness though, when Archer joined them on the outside, Crowbar sent him into the ring steps with a drop toe hold.

That seemed to make Archer mad, and he introduced Crowbar’s face to his foot repeatedly. Crowbar then tried to introduce his literal crowbar into the match, but the ref stopped him, allowing Archer to chokeslam the WCW legend. After a blackout, Crowbar was done and Archer got the pin.

Match Result: Lance Archer (w/Don Callis) defeated Crowbar

ROH Women’s World Television Title Proving Ground Match: Red Velvet [c] defeated Ashley Vox

Last week, the announcement of a new ROH Women’s Pure Title had the division all excited. But, Velvet, the reigning ROH Women’s TV Champion is not to be forgotten. In this Proving Ground match, her opponent must pin or submit Velvet or last to a ten-minute draw to earn a shot at the ROH Women’s TV Title. Ashley Vox got married last weekend. That was all they said about her.

Velvet dominated early, as expected. Vox tried to sneak in a few quick rollups, but that did not work out well for her as Velvet sent her face-first into the ropes. Vox did look all right though, throwing some pretty solid haymakers that seemed to surprise the Champion.

Velvet is such a good worker (and credit to Vox as well) that even her chinlocks look devastatingly painful. Velvet also has Olympic Boxers in her family, so when she starts throwing hands, it looks really, really good.

Vox looked like she might have a shot with a big missile dropkick from the top rope, followed by some headbutts. She locked in a fish hook around half way through the match, but was unable to capitalize. Velvet turned it around though and landed her patented “punch you in the face really, really hard” move and got the pin on Vox, dashing her title shot hopes.

After the match, La Catalina (the #1 Contender for Velvet’s Title) sauntered down to the ring. The two jawed at each other in the ring for a few minutes before Velvet got bored and left.

Match Result: ROH Women’s World Television Champion Red Velvet defeated Ashley Vox

-A vignette aired next with Leila Grey, Deonna Purrazzo and Taya Valkyrie all declaring themselves entrants in the tournament to crown the inaugural ROH Women’s Pure Champion.

AR Fox, Mark Briscoe & Top Flight (Dante Martin & Darius Martin) defeated Shane Taylor Promotions (Carlie Bravo, Lee Moriarty, Shane Taylor & Shawn Dean)

Suddenly, it was Main Event time and oh yes!! Mark Briscoe and Shane Taylor facing off? You can let the other six men in the match take a powder in my humble opinion. I love these big battles, especially when STP are involved. But the one-on-one match between Taylor and Briscoe is where the money is. Perhaps this will be the start of the road towards that? …Tony? Are you listening? 

Briscoe set the tone by tossing a chair in the ring during the entrances. It was quickly cleared out, but I think the point was made. Hearing my pleas, Briscoe and Taylor started things off with Taylor spitting on Briscoe’s hand when a Code of Honor was offered. They immediately began exchanging blows until Taylor tried to get Briscoe up in a driver, but Briscoe broke free and tagged in Fox. Taylor took the hint and brought in Moriarty.

Fox has really been impressive the last few weeks, so he and Moriarty were a great fit. Fox battled Moriarty on the outside and Bravo on the inside of the ring at the same time which was really fun. Dean tagged in though and isolated Fox in the corner so all four members of STP could take turns hurting him.

Fox finally got a tag to Darious and he and Dean mixed it up next. Top Flight and the Infantry are kinda like Batman and the Joker: Two sides of the same coin, destined to battle forever. However, Taylor tagged in and crushed Darious though, screaming “We hate flights!” which in 2025, who doesn’t?

Next, Duante threw himself around the ring, landing splashes and flips on all four of his opponents. Moriarty was legal with the dust cleared, but didn’t make much head way. Briscoe tagged in and took on both members of the Infantry with some classic Redneck Kung Fu.

Fox, and Top Flight launched themselves around the ring taking out STP. Bravo and Briscoe were left alone in the ring and Briscoe landed a picture perfect Jay Driller to get the pin and the victory for his team.

Match Result: AR Fox, Mark Briscoe & Top Flight (Dante Martin & Darius Martin) defeated Shane Taylor Promotions (Carlie Bravo, Lee Moriarty, Shane Taylor & Shawn Dean)

The Kingdom & The Righteous both returning on next ROH TV

Posted on by Bryan Rose

The Kingdom are returning to ROH next week.

It was announced that Matt Taven and Mike Bennett would be making their return to the promotion on next week’s show. The duo have largely disappeared from AEW and ROH television since December.

At Worlds End, Kyle O’Reilly reunited with Adam Cole and Roderick Strong, preventing an attack by MJF. In the weeks that followed, the Undisputed Kingdom continued but as a trio, with Taven and Bennett nowhere to be seen. In recent weeks, the trio abandoned The Undisputed Kingdom name in favor of a new name, the Paragon.

The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) will also be making a return. They last competed on ROH back at Final Battle in December, when they lost to Sammy Guevara and Dustin Rhodes in a double bullrope match that was for the ROH Tag Team titles.

Here is the updated lineup for next week’s ROH:

  • The Kingdom returns
  • The Righteous returns

Elias appears alongside AEW/ROH tag team The Righteous in new video

Posted on by Ian Carey

Elijah, formerly WWE’s Elias, has aligned with AEW/ROH tag team, The Righteous.

On Monday, Elijah posted a video to social media featuring him alongside Vincent and Dutch. In the video, the trio is seen wearing all white and walking through a field as Elijah plays guitar. It concludes with the narrator asking, “Who wants to run with The Righteous Ones?”

The video’s narrator says:

“And so he became the Righteous One. A new journey begins, a search, a calling, a destiny. He would encounter a gang of righteous men, and they were of one mind and of one spirit. And they walked amongst the dead, spreading their message of truth in a world full of wicked lies. And to those who responded to the call, the chance to be made righteous. The grave is the door to your rebirth through the flames of perdition to be reborn a righteous man. Do you see what I’m saying, man? And so I ask, who wants to run with the Righteous Ones?”

All three members of this new group, Elijah, Vincent, & Dutch, were on the Jericho Cruise this weekend. Before that, The Righteous are coming off having lost a double bullrope match to Sammy Guevara and Dustin Rhodes at ROH Final Battle. They haven’t wrestled on AEW programming since being in the tag team Casino Gauntlet match in September.

Following his WWE release in 2023, Elijah has wrestled for promotions such as REVOLVER, IWC, The Crash in Mexico, and a tour with World Series Wrestling in Australia.

Two title matches official for Ring of Honor Final Battle

Posted on by Josh Nason

The card continues to fill out for this month’s Ring of Honor Final Battle streaming special with two title matches made official during Thursday’s TV show on HonorClub.

In a TV Time segment, Ring of Honor World Champion Chris Jericho learned who his challenger will be at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Friday, December 20th: Matt Cardona.

However, it came off as surprise to Jericho even though he said he came up with a challenger from New York City. However, he wasn’t expecting to see his former partner in WWE instead of whomever he chose.

It will be Cardona’s first-ever ROH appearance and his first singles match with Jericho since a March 2016 WWE Raw. Jericho will be looking for his second title defense.

In a match that has been building on ROH TV for weeks, reigning Tag Team Champions Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara will defend against The Righteous.

Vincent & Dutch are looking for their first taste of gold in ROH since they held the Six-Man titles as recently as 2022 while Rhodes and Guevara have defended the titles just once since winning them in August.

Here’s the current lineup for the Friday, December 20th streaming special from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City:

  • ROH World Champion Chris Jericho defends against Matt Cardona
  • ROH Tag Team Champions Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara) defend against The Righteous (Vincent & Dutch)
  • ROH Women’s TV Champion Red Velvet defends against Leyla Hirsch

Kenny Omega & Chris Jericho challenge Don Callis Family for AEW WrestleDream

Posted on by Josh Nason

In an unexpected union, it appears former rivals will turn partners as Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho issued a challenge to the Don Callis Family for next Sunday’s AEW WrestleDream.

The potential match came together on Friday’s AEW Rampage Grand Slam as Omega came out to Jericho’s aid as Konosuke Takeshita, Sammy Guevara and Callis were attacking him. As Callis was about to hit Jericho with a screwdriver, Omega emerged to run off the heel unit before having a staredown with Jericho.

In a backstage segment, Jericho suggested Omega and recent Callis target Kota Ibushi unite in Callis’ worst nightmare. The three could face Takeshita, Guevara and a mystery partner at the Sunday, October 1st pay-per-view.

ROH TV results: The Foundation vs. The Righteous

Posted on by Skylar Russell

Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Quinn McKay joined us from the ROH studio and welcomed the fans to the show. McKay ran down tonight’s three-match card that features a six-man tag between The Righteous and The Foundation, a singles bout between Caprice Coleman and Beer City Bruiser, and a tag match pitting PJ Black & Flip Gordon against The OGK. 

Caprice Coleman defeated Ken Dixon (w/ Brawler Milonas and Beer City Bruiser) by DQ 

Although Caprice Coleman’s opponent was supposed to be Beer City Bruiser, he pulled out of the match at the last second and gave the opportunity to Dixon. Bruiser stated that if Coleman beat Dixon, he could have a shot at him. 

Coleman and Dixon went right to a collar-and-elbow tie-up that nobody got the advantage from. Coleman was in control of the bout until Brawler Milonas distracted the ref, allowing Bruiser to interfere. Dixon hit a fallaway slam that took us into a commercial break. 

When the show returned, Coleman started to fire up and took Dixon down with a few running clotheslines. Bruiser got involved again and slowed down the momentum of Coleman for a moment, but a second wind was found by Coleman as he hit a Cobra Clutch leg sweep takedown. When Coleman went for the pin, Bruiser interfered again and punched him in the mouth, bringing the match to an end by disqualification.

The OGK (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett) defeated PJ Black & Flip Gordon 

There was a pre-match segment where Flip Gordon’s memory loss issues with PJ Black continued. 

Gordon and Matt Taven started the match. Taven tried to talk some sense into Gordon, but Gordon continued to act nonsensical and wrestled his old style. Tags between both teams were frequent, with Black and Mike Bennett being the legal men before the break. 

Gordon and Bennett were legal when the match returned. Bennett and Taven attempted their spike piledriver combination, but Black knocked Taven off the top rope just in time. Black and Bennett started going back at it, with Bennett delivering a boot to The Darewolf. Bennett then hit a brainbuster and went for a pin, but it wasn’t successful. 

The closing sequence of the match saw all four men get involved at the same time. Black hit a Canadian Destroyer on Taven, who was positioned on Gordon’s shoulders. Bennett broke up that pin and as they stood up, Gordon accidentally superkicked Black. This led to Bennett and Taven hitting their spike piledriver for the win. 

The Righteous (Vincent, Bateman & Dutch) (w/ Vita VonStarr) defeated The Foundation (Jonathan Gresham, Tracy Williams & Rhett Titus) (w/ Jay Lethal) 

Vincent grabbed a microphone as the bell rang and played a video of Jay Lethal saying that he didn’t like The Foundation. This started an argument between Lethal and his stablemates, leading to The Righteous jumping them from behind. 

This led to Bateman taking control of Jonathan Gresham, both of whom were the legal men. Bateman beat down Gresham with a flurry of strikes and had frequent tag outs with Vincent and Dutch. Once Gresham rolled to the outside, Dutch sent him crashing into a barricade. The Foundation had full control of the match into a break. 

Gresham fought back valiantly and eventually was able to make the tag to Rhett Titus. Titus hit a hydraulic dropkick on both Vincent and Dutch on the apron before suplexing Bateman. Tracy Williams came in and helped Titus with a few double-team moves in an attempt to put Bateman away, but nothing earned the three count. 

Dutch eventually got a chance to go toe-to-toe with Titus. After a jackhammer and a clothesline, Dutch hit a swinging side slam and picked up the three count over Titus.

**********

Next Week —

  • ROH Television Champion Dragon Lee defends against Dalton Castle
  • Trish Adora vs. Allysin Kay vs. Mandy Leon (winner advances to face Willow Nightingale in an ROH Women’s Championship number one contender’s match next month)
  • Pure Rules match: Brian Johnson vs. John Walters

**********

Final Thoughts —

This week’s episode of ROH TV featured three good matches, but it had some puzzling results. I don’t really see the benefit of extending the Caprice Coleman/Beer City Bruiser feud out because quite frankly, it should have been a one-and-done type deal. I’m also not sure why The Righteous defeated The Foundation because, in my opinion, The Foundation lose way too many matches.

This week’s ROH TV gets a grade of: Recommended Viewing.

Matt Taven vs. Vincent steel cage match set for ROH Glory by Honor

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Matt Taven and Vincent will face each other in a steel cage match on the second night of ROH Glory by Honor on August 21.

On tonight’s ROH Best in the World pre-show, Taven held his talk show, “Trending with Taven”. He brought in Vincent, who came in the rest of his stable The Righteous, which includes Dutch, Bateman, and Vita Von Starr. Taven proposed the match, saying he wanted to be done once and for all with Vincent after the match took place. Vincent said he would agree to the match if Taven put up his ROH World title shot, and also proposed the match to be held in a steel cage. Taven agreed to the stipulations, setting up the match.

After the agreement, Taven decided to go after Vincent, but was quickly taken down by the rest of The Righteous, who proceeded to lawn dart Taven into the Trending with Taven logo, sending Taven to the floor.

The second night of Glory By Honor will take place at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
