**********

This week’s ROH began with a recap of last week’s Women’s World Title match between Athena and Mercedes Martinez. We cut to video from after last week’s show, where Lexy Nair and Billie Starkz waited for Athena. Athena said that she would do whatever she needed to do to for Starkz to get more violent. Athena made it clear that Starkz was on her good side for now.

Serpentico defeated Tony Nese (w/Mark Sterling)

Sterling came out bragging about his charges scoring two straight wins over “that fat slob” Ethan Page. Nese dumped on Wichita before Serpentico came out for the scheduled match. Nese used his power to keep Serpentico off of his feet. Nese put Serpentico in the Tree of Woe before dropping into the crunch kicks.

Serpentico came back with a hurricanrana and a flatliner for a nearfall. Nese came right back with a spinning heel kick and set up the pumphandle slam, but Ethan Page came out with a microphone. He was ready for group training, which distracted Nese long enough to get rolled up by Serpentico. Page said that instead of group training, he would celebrate with Serpentico.

Action Andretti & Darius Martin were backstage with Lexy Nair. They spoke on their issues with Shane Taylor Promotions before bringing in their partners for tonight’s eight-man tag match, The Infantry. They hyped themselves up for the match.

Athena (w/Billie Starkz) defeated Heidi Howitzer

Howitzer took Athena down with a shoulder block and a big boot, sending Athena out of the ring. Athena slid out of the way of a baseball slide before dropping Howitzer with a rolling slam on the floor. Athena clubbered on Howitzer in the ring before tossing her with a German Suplex.

Howitzer tried coming back with hard Irish whips, but Athena hopped to the second rope and hit a Codebreaker. Athena hit the knockout forearm to score the win. After the match, Athena drilled Howitzer with a superkick before throwing her into the belt.

Kyle Fletcher defeated Lee Johnson

Fletcher yanked Johnson off of the turnbuckles during his entrance. Shane Taylor Promotions was seen watching backstage. Fletcher played keep-away from Johnson until Johnson caught him with a dropkick that sent him to the floor.

Hirsch hit a German suplex before hitting the pendulum dropkick in the corner for a nearfall. Hirsch hit a Saito suplex as Robyn sat a chair on the apron.

Robyn distracted the referee to allow Charlette to grab the chair, but Rachel Ellering took Robyn out with a forearm. The ref caught Charlette with the chair and took it away, allowing Hirsch to lock in a cross-arm breaker to score the submission win.

Athena and Billie Starkz were backstage with Lexy Nair. After scolding Nair for being friendly to Willow Nightingale, Athena told Starkz to show her violent streak against Rachel Ellering tonight. Athena noted that Final Battle was in her hometown and that she couldn’t wait to see which porcelain hussy she would beat.

Iron Savages (w/ Jacked Jameson) defeated Cole Karter & Griff Garrison (w/Maria Kanellis-Bennett)

Bronson caught Garrison with a bodyslam. Garrison avoided being sent into Boulder’s chest, but Karter wasn’t so lucky. Karter took Boulder down, but Boulder kept pressing his way out of the cover. Boulder hit them with a double flapjack before sending Bronson to the floor. Maria distracted Bronson before sending him into a Karter back body drop on the ramp.

Karter and Garrison worked over Bronson until he fought to make the tag to Boulder. Boulder ran wild, hitting both men with a powerbomb/World’s Strongest Slam combination for a nearfall. Karter rolled out of the way of a Boulder step-up moonsault, allowing Garrison to hit a rolling elbow to the back of the head. Karter hit a 450 splash for a nearfall that was broken up by Bronson.

We got a video package recapping Samoa Joe’s successful title defense and subsequent vacating of the ROH World Television Title. Tony Khan will make an announcement regarding the Television Title next week.

Billie Starkz (w/Athena) defeated Rachael Ellering

Starkz caught Ellering with a sunset flip, then kicked Ellering in the head for a nearfall. Starkz celebrated her small accomplishment, allowing Ellering to come back with a senton for a nearfall.

The match started with a Pier Six Brawl. The good guys sent the rudos to the floor before hitting planchas onto all of them. Unfortunately for Martin, Taylor caught him and flung him into the barricade. Bravo got caught by Taylor in the ring, who dropped him face-first on an up-and-over in the corner. Taylor sent Bravo into the corner buckle with a kick for a nearfall.

Bravo got worked on for a while before fighting his way to a tag out to Andretti. Andretti ran wild on the Wingmen, taking them down with a handspring elbow. Avalon accidentally punched Taylor, leading to Taylor and Moriarty knocking out Avalon and Nemeth and leaving. The Infantry hit Boot Camp on Avalon to score the win.

Rachel Ellering was backstage with Lexy Nair. Ellering felt like she was breaking through with Leyla Hirsch, but Hirsch came in to clarify. Hirsch said that she didn’t like owing anyone, so now she and Ellering are even. Maria Kanellis came in, mocking their teamwork to Hirsch’s chagrin. Kanellis told Hirsch to team with Ellering, and afterward, she would let Hirsch know about their future.

Dralistico (w/ Jose The Assistant) defeated Gravity

The announcers noted that these two are the brothers of former ROH World Champions. Gravity is Bandido’s younger brother, while Dralistico is the younger brother of Rush.

Dralistico hit a corkscrew Destroyer to score the win.

ROH World Title Match – Eddie Kingston defeated Angelico to retain

A fine main event. There was never that close nearfall that made me think Angelico could win, but they had a solid back-and-forth here.

The two men started this match with technique, with Kingston breaking first and laying in a chop. Angelico caught a second chop and turned it into a cravat before kicking Kingston in the back of the head. The men traded strikes, with Angelico going after the knee. Kingston chopped Angelico into the corner before hitting the machine gun chops and a face wash.

Angelico countered a suplex attempt with a front facelock that he transitioned into a double wristlock that forced Kingston to the ropes. Kingston cut off Angelico with a kitchen sink knee and clubbered on him. Kingston dropped Angelico with more chops, but Angelico rolled through a uranage attempt and hit a kick that sent Kingston to the floor. Angelico followed with a dive onto Kingston.

Kingston tried to make some space, but Angelico hit a diving clothesline off of the apron. Angelico hit a high crossbody for a nearfall. Angelico got a nearfall with a jackknife pin, then tried a flash pin for a nearfall. Angelico kicked Kingston in the head before locking on La Casita for a nearfall. Kingston popped up with a Backfist, but Angelico kicked out. Kingston landed another Backfist before hitting the Northern Lights Driver to win and retain the title.

Backstage, Dalton Castle was frustrated that he couldn’t give people the show that they deserved. He didn’t want people like Eddie Kingston muddying the airwaves, saying that Kingston was throwing away his opportunities as champion. He said that Kingston was ordinary and that he wanted to give the people a World Champion that they could sink their teeth into. Eddie Kingston vs. Dalton Castle for the ROH World Title was made official for next week.

The show opened with a promo from Angelico. Angelico said that Eddie Kingston took advantage of Serpentico after the bell in their match, and as a friend, he had to make sure Kingston knew that he was wrong. Angelico said that he was ready for his World Title match against Kingston soon.

The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Shawn Dean) (w/Trish Adora) defeated Terrell & Terrence Hughes

The Hughes Brothers got a jump-start on this match, double-teaming Bravo early on. Bravo hit the Carlie Crossover to get out of their corner and get the tag to Dean, who quickly got control of the situation. The Infantry then hit Boot Camp for the win.

Lexy Nair was backstage with Maria Kanellis-Bennett. She said that her men Cole Karter & Griff Garrison have come together out of a common goal of being tag team champions. Leyla Hirsch walked in and said that after her title loss against Athena, she’d consider taking Kanellis’ guidance. Kanellis said that if Hirsch wanted her help, she would have to earn it.

Dalton Castle defeated Anthony Henry

Henry refused the Code of Honor, causing the match to start with shoving. Henry forced Castle out of the ring with an elbow, but Castle fired himself and the crowd up before getting back in the ring. Henry hit another elbow, but Castle dropped him in return with a waistlock slam. Henry escaped to the floor after a second waistlock slam, but Castle sent Henry into the ring steps before hitting a DDT on the floor.

Castle went to the top rope, but Henry rolled away. Henry baited Castle before sending him back first into the apron. Henry ran around the ring and hit a running leg lariat that sent Castle over the barricade. Henry kept control of Castle, responding to every comeback attempt Castle had.

Ethan Page entered stage left, wondering why Sterling hadn’t returned any of his calls. Page asked Nese if he was proud of how he cheated to win before Woods got in his face. Sterling set up Woods vs. Page in the hopes of getting Page out of their business.

Tornado Tag Team Match – Diamante & Mercedes Martinez defeated Athena & Billie Starkz

The match quickly broke down into a Pier Six brawl, with Athena and Starkz sending Diamante and Martinez into the timekeeper’s area.

A quality win here for Angelico ahead of his future title match against Eddie Kingston.

Gravity went for a high crossbody, but Angelico caught him with an anti-air dropkick.

Lexy Nair was backstage with Athena & Billie Starkz. Athena gave Starkz an aggressive pep talk for her match tonight against Diamante.

Tony Nese (w/Mark Sterling) defeated Ethan Page

A surprising result given Page’s recent build, but the post-match tells me that this isn’t over.

Nese decided to forgo group training to teach Page a lesson tonight. Nese evaded early attacks from Page before taunting him with exercises. Page went after Sterling on the outside, baiting Nese in to send him into the barricade. Page sat on Nese while holding a sign that said Tony Nese Sucks. Page sent Nese back in the ring and hit a shoulder block for a nearfall.

Page set up for the Headshot, but a Sterling distraction allowed Nese to sweep Page off of the apron. Nese hit a plancha to the floor. Nese hung Page in the Tree of Woe before hitting his crunch kicks to the chest. Nese cut off a Page comeback by dropping him neck-first on the ropes, but Page came back with a suplex.

Page fired up, hitting a powerslam on Nese for a nearfall. Nese escaped the Ego’s Edge, but Page hit a high kick. Page followed it with a pumphandle slam and the Headshot, but only got a nearfall. Sterling took Page’s attention on another Ego’s Edge attempt, allowing Nese to roll up Page and get the win with his feet on the ropes. Nese taunted Page after the match, with Page hitting them both. Page went for the Ego’s Edge on Sterling, but Nese pulled him away and bolted up the ramp.

After the match, Martinez and Diamante jumped Starkz and Athena. Things devolved into a Pier Six brawl, with referees breaking up the fight.

Lexy Nair was backstage with Maria Kanellis-Bennett, Cole Karter, & Griff Garrison. Karter cut off Garrison to gift Bennett a shirt that read Hot Moms Love Pro Wrestlers. Bennett looked less than pleased but took the shirt anyway.

Pure Rules Match – Josh Woods (w/ Mark Sterling) defeated Pat Buck

I liked how Buck wrestled this match, using his veteran smarts to get the advantage on Woods while he had it.

The judges for this match were Jimmy Jacobs, Madison Rayne, & Christopher Daniels.

Ian Riccaboni ran down Buck’s training credentials, with Buck having trained TBS Champion Kris Statlander and AEW World Champion MJF. Woods quickly caught Buck by the legs, forcing Buck to use his first rope break one minute into the match. Buck came back, forcing Woods into the ropes to burn one of his rope breaks.

Buck went for an O’Connor Roll, but Woods held onto the ropes, thus burning his second rope break. Sterling complained to the referee, allowing Buck to punch Woods in the face. Woods got his shot back, but the referee saw it and administered Woods an official warning. Woods caught Buck by the knee and stuffed it. Woods went after the knee, but Buck kept catching Woods in pinning positions for nearfalls.

Woods went back after the knee before hitting a gut-wrench powerbomb. Woods locked on the Woods Lock for the submission win.

Cole Karter & Griff Garrison (w/ Maria Kanellis-Bennett) defeated Myron Reed & Ren Jones

Reed used his agility to duck a Garrison clothesline. Karter caught Reed with a knee to the back, allowing Garrison to drop him with a big boot. Karter hit a dropkick on Reed, but couldn’t stop the tag to Jones, who took him down with a running forearm. Jones hit a brainbuster for a nearfall. Garrison got a blind tag, hitting a ripcord elbow on Jones before Karter hit a Dominator for the win.

Dalton Castle was backstage. He knows that the people love when he’s on television and that he won’t let anyone stop the people from getting what they want. He’s gonna make ROH television extraordinary.

Kiera Hogan defeated Allysin Kay

Hogan avoided a Kay boot to start, catching Kay with a dropkick and a hip attack. Hogan had control until Kay caught her on a crossbody and dumped her on the knee. Kay cut off a wheelbarrow attempt, sending Hogan up and over with a German suplex. Hogan avoided a corner charge, hitting a shotgun dropkick off of the second rope. Hogan hit a hip attack and a running boot in the corner for a nearfall.

Kay dropped Hogan with a lariat for a nearfall. Kay brought Hogan to the top rope, but Hogan knocked her down and hit another dropkick. Hogan followed with Face The Music for the win.

Ring of Honor TV results: Eddie Kingston vs. Serpentico

Posted on by Suit Williams

Matches for this week’s show were taped from the Maverick Center in Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday, October 7. Spoilers from the show are available here. 

**********

The show started with Dasha backstage with Serpentico. He said that he didn’t have to beat Eddie Kingston tonight, he just had to survive the ten-minute time limit to get a future title match.

Proving Ground Match – Eddie Kingston defeated Serpentico (w/Angelico)

Serpentico chopped at Kingston to start, hitting his own machine gun chops in the corner. Serpentico caught Kingston with a hurricanrana and a facebuster for a nearfall. Serpentico went to the top rope, but Kingston caught him with a T-Bone suplex. Kingston hit a Saito suplex for a nearfall, then locked on the Stretch Plum for the quick win.

After the match, Angelico wouldn’t let Kingston shake his downed partner’s hand. Kingston got in his face, asking if Angelico would stab him in the back. Angelico said that when it came to hold-for-hold wrestling, no one scared him. They agreed to a future ROH World Title match.

Gates Of Agony (Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona) (w/Prince Nana) defeated Lights Camera Faction (Fresco & Watson)

This was an absolute slaughter, with the Gates of Agony scoring the win with a double clothesline to Fresco.

Dasha was backstage with the debuting Daga, who will be challenging QT Marshall for the AAA Latin American Championship. Daga said that he was a former champion and he wanted the title back.

Proving Ground Match – Athena (w/Billie Starkz) defeated Mazzerati

This was a five-star squash match. Athena killed this woman dead.

Mazzerati got the better of an opening exchange before Athena leveled her with a dropkick. Athena avoided a low bridge to the outside before dropping Mazzerati to the floor with a gourdbuster. Mazzerati kicked Athena’s feet out on the apron and went for a hurricanrana, but Athena hit her with a thudding powerbomb on the floor.

Athena flung Mazzerati into the barricade before working on her in the ring. Mazzerati caught Athena with a back kick, but Athena cartwheeled out of a headscissors and drilled her with a forearm for a nearfall. Athena locked Mazzerati in the Tree of Woe, then drilled her with boots to the back. Mazzerati avoided a corner charge and fought back, but Athena booted her out of the air on a springboard. Athena locked on an armbar, forcing Mazzerati to tap out with her boot.

After the match, Starkz waited for Athena to turn her back before hiding Mazzerati under the ring to save her from a further beatdown.

Lexy was backstage with Lee Johnson, who was immediately interrupted by Shane Taylor Promotions. They offered him a spot in the group, with that sounding better than the “moral victories” Johnson had been racking up.

AAA Latin American Title Match – QT Marshall (c) defeated Daga

I wasn’t excited to watch this one, but these two had a solid match here.

Before the match, Marshall introduced himself to Daga before calling himself the greatest luchador of all time. Marshall said that lucha crowds would chant “culero” at him, and asked Daga to translate that for him. Daga told him they were calling him an “a**hole” before decking him with a punch. Daga hit a rolling lariat, but Marshall sent Daga to the apron and punched him to the floor.

Marshall clubbered on Daga, dropping him with a dropkick before posing to boos. Daga fired up, hitting Marshall with a pop-up German suplex. Dropkicks in the corner before a brainbuster got a nearfall for Daga. Daga cut off a Marshall springboard, hitting a backstabber with Marshall tied in the ropes for a nearfall. Marshall hit a satellite DDT, then put his feet on the ropes for the cover. Referee Aubrey Edwards caught him and stopped her count.

Daga caught Marshall with a pair of flash pins before hitting a thrust kick and a gutwrench powerbomb for a nearfall. Daga went to the top rope, but Marshall caught him with a Diamond Cutter. Marshall hit the Dirt Sheet Driver before slowly applying the La Casita pinfall for the win.

We got a Dalton Castle video package.

The Infantry got the early advantage, hitting double teams on both Moriarty and Taylor. Moriarty cut off Dean and tagged Taylor. Dean got beat down before slipping out of the way of a corner charge and tagging Bravo. Bravo ran wild on both guys, hitting a slingshot facebuster on Moriarty for a nearfall.

They went for the Boot Camp on Moriarty, but Taylor cut off Bravo from the floor. Taylor broke Dean’s cover off of a backbreaker. Bravo hit the Bravo Crossover, but Taylor caught Bravo with a big punch for the win.

Lexy was backstage with Billie Starkz, who was quickly interrupted by Mercedes Martinez & Diamante. They told her that Athena would turn on her before taking her fanny pack.

Angelico defeated Marty Casaus

Casaus was Marty “The Moth” Martinez in Lucha Underground. After some dancing shenanigans, Angelico sent Casaus into the buckles. Casaus wasn’t impressed, so he sent his own head into the buckles before Angelico rolled him up for a nearfall. Casaus hit a half-and-half slam for a nearfall.

Casaus hit a Northern Lights Suplex for a nearfall. Angelico hit a capoeira kick for a nearfall. He trapped Casaus in a leg lock before tapping Casaus out with an ankle lock.

Mercedes Martinez (w/Diamante) defeated Lady Frost

Martinez quickly took down Frost and laid in stomps and forearms. Frost came back with a forearm of her own before Martinez booted Frost on a handspring headscissors attempt.

Willow Nightingale defeated Leyla Hirsch

Nightingale overpowered Hirsch to start. Nightingale clubbered on Hirsch in the corner before Hirsch slipped into a choke. Nightingale went to the top rope, but Hirsch ripped her out and bounced Nightingale’s head off the buckles. Hirsch countered a uranage with an armdrag before locking on a double wristlock.

Nightingale fought out of the submission with a suplex. Nightingale fired up, hitting a big spinebuster for a nearfall. Hirsch came back with a German suplex and a lariat for a nearfall. Nightingale hit a uranage for a nearfall. Hirsch ducked out of the way of a cannonball, but Nightingale booted Hirsch on the triangle dropkick. Nightingale hit a Pounce and the Babe With The Powerbomb for the win.

After the match, Hirsch jumped Nightingale before Skye Blue ran her off.

Action Andretti defeated Gringo Loco

This was a standout match on ROH. Loco works so well with the fast-paced, lucha-influenced guys on the roster.

Loco and Andretti had a fast-paced opening, trading arm drags and flash pins. Loco cartwheeled out of a hurricanrana attempt before they had a standoff. Loco caught Andretti with a pop-up flapjack for a nearfall. Loco locked on a submission before posing on Andretti.

These two traded positioning on a knuckle lock until Henry caught Sabian in an armbar that forced Sabian to the ropes.

Henry hit a twisting Michinoku Driver for a nearfall. Ford distracted Henry on the double stomp attempt, allowing Sabian to hit the Deathly Hallows for the win.

Dasha was backstage with Griff Garrison, who was worried about things not working out for him. Cole Karter & Maria Kanellis-Bennett walked in, telling Garrison that he should have followed their lead. Bennett told them that they have a common goal and that they need to work out their problems.

**********

The show started with ROH World Champion Eddie Kingston talking about his title defense at WrestleDream against Katsuyori Shibata. He praised Shibata before talking about the issues that have come up with Jay Lethal and ROH Board of Directors member Stokely Hathaway.

ROH Women’s World Title Match – Athena (w/Billie Starkz) (c) defeated Leyla Hirsch

Athena’s best title defense since Death Before Dishonor and the best Hirsch match I’ve ever seen. This is a match worth checking out.

Hirsch caught Athena with a dropkick before hitting a pendulum dropkick in the corner. Hirsch hit a dive to Athena on the floor. Athena avoided a throw into the ring steps, then dropkicked Hirsch near the steps. Hirsch threw Athena into the stairs, but Athena stuffed a suplex off of the stairs and dumped Hirsch to the floor with a gourdbuster.

Lexy Nair was backstage with Dalton Castle. Castle felt a lot of pressure to come through for the fans and needed to find a way to give the people what they wanted and what they deserved.

Scorpio Sky defeated Fred Rosser

I wouldn’t mind Fred Rosser being a regular in ROH, as he’s a great talent. His work on the NJPW STRONG brand would fit right in here in the AEW universe.

No entrance for Rosser, the former NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion. Sky caught Rosser on a dropdown before driving Rosser into the corner with forearms. Sky went to the middle rope, but Rosser pulled him down to the mat. Rosser hit chop/lariat combinations before hitting Sky with driving hip attacks.

Satoshi Kojima defeated Tony Nese (w/Mark Sterling)

Nese dumped on bread before Kojima made his entrance. Kojima told Nese that he liked bread before Nese stomped on the loaf of bread he came out with. Kojima had control early on until Sterling hooked his boot from the floor. Sterling got a boot in on Kojima on the floor.

Nese held control of Kojima as the crowd chanted their approval of bread. Nese hit Kojima with a dropkick before locking on a bodyscissors. Kojima caught Nese in the corner and fired up with the machine gun chops. Kojima hit a diving elbow for a nearfall. Kojima hit a DDT and went for the Koji Cutter, but Nese chopped Kojima in the throat. Nese hung Kojima on the ropes before hitting a triangle moonsault for a nearfall.

**********

Josh Woods (w/ Mark Sterling) defeated Brayden Erving

Woods got a lightning-quick victory in this opener with the Tilt-A-Woods.

Lexy Nair was backstage with Prince Nana and the Mogul Embassy. Nana hyped the Gates of Agony and Brian Cage for their respective matches tonight. Nana said that the Mogul Embassy would get back on track tonight.

Scorpio Sky defeated Tony Nese (w/ Mark Sterling)

I’ll give you three guesses as to what Tony Nese had to say before the match. Nese got a jump start on Sky as he was making his entrance, but Sky sent Nese to the floor after a back body drop. Sky chased Nese around ringside before getting the upper hand back in the ring, but Sky quickly came back with chops.

Nese feigned a walkout, but after a Sterling distraction, Nese sent Sky into the ring steps. Sterling put the boots to Sky as Nese took the referee. Nese cut off a Sky comeback before wringing Sky’s neck on the ropes for a nearfall. After a few minutes of control from Nese, Sky dropped Nese with a back suplex. Sky fired up with a lariat before hitting a Sky High for a nearfall.

Nese cut off Sky on the top rope with a rolling uppercut, then countered a sunset flip with a back heel kick for a nearfall. Nese countered a German suplex with a double stomp, but Sky came back with a TKO to score the win.

Gravity defeated Lee Johnson

They traded holds for a while to a stalemate before Gravity scored with a lucha armdrag and a wheelbarrow rollup for a nearfall. Johnson came back with a big dropkick to cut Gravity off. Johnson sent Gravity into the buckles hard with an Irish Whip before celebrating with pushups.

Gravity sent Johnson to the floor before hitting a double jump dive to the floor. After a nearfall, both men traded waistlocks before Gravity hit a powerslam and a standing moonsault for a nearfall. Johnson hit a Blue Thunder Bomb for a close nearfall. Johnson hit a pair of superkicks before Gravity snatched an inside cradle for a nearfall. Gravity hit a suplex before landing a top rope splash for the win.

Lexy Nair was backstage with The Outrunners. They called themselves the best tag team in the galaxy before hyping their match against Andretti & Martin later tonight. They say if you haven’t seen the Outrunners, you haven’t seen anything yet.

Billie Starkz (w/ Athena) defeated Lady Frost

Frost hit a kitchen sink knee out of the Code of Honor. Starkz came back and sent Frost to the floor. Athena blew a whistle in Frost’s face before Starkz hit a dive onto Frost. Athena and Starkz had a disagreement on where to throw Frost – the ring or the steps – which allowed Frost to evade Starkz and take control.

Starkz came back with a rebound kick, but Frost vaulted off of her back and hit a dropkick to the back for a nearfall. They traded forearms before Starkz hit a spinning back kick and a Death Valley Driver for a nearfall. Frost came back by cartwheeling Starkz into a Beach Break. Frost hit a tornado moonsault, but Athena pulled Starkz out of the cover behind the referee’s back. Starkz then hit an armtrap Styles Clash for the win.

After the match, Athena attacked Frost and flung her into the barricade as Starkz tried to stop her. Athena went to throw Frost into the title belt, but Starkz pulled the belt away. Athena got in her face, yelling at her for not listening.

Lexy Nair was backstage with Allysin Kay. Kay hated the fact that she was on a losing streak but was ready for Mercedes Martinez tonight.

Action Andretti & Darius Martin defeated The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd)

After the opening salvo, Andretti caught both Outrunners with a headscissors/hurricanrana combo. Martin and Andretti went for dual dives, but the Outrunners cut them off and sent Martin into the stairs. They focused their attack on Andretti, isolating him for a few minutes.

They went for Total Recall, but Andretti fought his way free and made a tag out to Martin. Martin ran wild, hitting a high crossbody on Magnum for a nearfall. Andretti hit a split-legged moonsault to the floor on Floyd. Martin and Andretti double-teamed Magnum before hitting their double-team slam for the win.

Lexy Nair was backstage with Griff Garrison, who was quickly joined by Maria Kanellis-Bennett & Cole Karter. Garrison wanted to make the team work, saying that his last team worked until they didn’t. His old partner – Brian Pillman Jr. – wasn’t around anymore, and he didn’t want that fate for either himself or Karter. Garrison wanted to do things the right way, to which Bennett & Karter agreed.

Leyla Hirsch defeated Laynie Luck

Before the Code of Honor, Maria Kanellis-Bennett made her way to the stage as per usual with Hirsch matches. Luck got some offense in, but Hirsch popped up from a German suplex and quickly took Luck down. Hirsch locked on an armbar and quickly got the submission win.

Lexy Nair was backstage with Mercedes Martinez & Diamante. She said that she’d beaten Allysin Kay over and over in the past and would continue the trend tonight.

Shane Taylor defeated Jimmy Jacobs

This was Jacobs’ first ROH match since 2015, and it also was in his hometown of Grand Rapids. Taylor didn’t care and shoved Jacobs into the corner. Jacobs blinded Taylor with his coat before getting some shots in. Taylor quickly overpowered Jacobs, but Jacobs sidestepped Taylor to the floor. Jacobs hit a suicide dive before locking on a guillotine choke, but Taylor rammed Jacobs into the post and flung him overhead with a suplex.

Back in the ring, Taylor sent Jacobs flying across the ring with a beel. Jacobs fought back, but Taylor shut him down with a headbutt. A uranage and a splash from Taylor followed for a nearfall.

Lexy Nair was backstage with Maria Kanellis-Bennett. Nair asked about Bennett’s tag team, but Leyla Hirsch interrupted. Hirsch said that things get messy when other people get into her business. While Bennett thought Hirsch wasn’t ready for a title shot, the ROH Board of Directors believed otherwise. Next week, Hirsch will challenge Athena for the ROH Women’s World Title.

Dalton Castle & The Boys (Brandon & Brent) defeated Ren Jones, Trenton Tormenta & Xavier Walker

Brent got triple-teamed by the local talent momentarily before Castle got a tag. Castle ran wild before the Boys got a double team on Tormenta. Castle hit the Bangarang on Jones for the win.

Cole Karter & Griff Garrison (w/ Maria Kanellis-Bennett) defeated The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Shawn Dean) (w/ Trish Adora)

Garrison started the match against Bravo. Garrison caught Bravo with a big boot before tagging Karter, who Bravo dropped with a back elbow. The Infantry quickly took control of Karter, but Karter caught Bravo with a punch to the gut and a lariat. A double suplex from Karter & Garrison got a nearfall. Karter and Garrison began working as a team, using double team moves to keep control of Bravo.

Bennett wanted Garrison to take a cheap shot, but Garrison wanted to wrestle the match clean. Bravo fought his way to the corner and made a tag to Dean, who ran wild on both his opponents. Dean hit a high crossbody for a nearfall that Garrison broke up. The Infantry sent Garrison to the floor before hitting a double-team Russian Leg Sweep. Bennett had the referee distracted, and after Adora chased her off, Karter got a rope-assisted rollup to score the upset win. Garrison wasn’t happy but left with them anyway.

Lexy Nair was backstage with Ethan Page. Page talked about his win streak in ROH before Rohit Raju interrupted, noting how he hadn’t been in ROH for a while. Page told Raju to enjoy the screen time because their match won’t be going too long.

Mercedes Martinez (w/ Diamante) defeated Allysin Kay

Diamante tried to distract Kay on the floor, but Kay caught Martinez and dumped her on the apron. Kay hit a back suplex on Martinez in the ring for a nearfall. Kay had Martinez loaded up for a kick in the corner, but Diamante pulled Martinez out of the ring. Kay followed, where Diamante held Kay in place for a boot from Martinez.

Martinez hit a pair of boots in the corner, but Kay came back with a German suplex. Kay fired up and booted Diamante off of the apron. Martinez ducked a corner charge before hitting a Cheeky Nandos kick to Kay in the corner. Diamante hit Kay with a wheelbarrow cutter on the floor, allowing Martinez to score the win with a fisherman’s buster.

Lexy Nair was with Billie Starkz. Starkz was happy with the win, unaware that Athena helped her out of a cover. Athena entered the frame, upset with Starkz and her lack of killer instinct. Athena wanted Starkz to take note next week as she handled her business against Leyla Hirsch.

Iron Savages (Boulder & Bronson) (w/ Jacked Jameson) defeated Gates Of Agony (Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona) (w/ Prince Nana)

Kaun started off hot, hitting Bronson with a dropkick and a belly-to-belly suplex. Bronson came back with a suplex of his own before both of their partners entered for a standoff. Liona and Boulder tagged in. They slammed shoulders and traded lariats before Boulder sent Liona to the floor. Boulder teased a dive, but the Gates cut him off.
