Thoughts: It wasn't anything too special. It didn't get a ton of time and there was some shenanigans outside. It was over before they really got to the meat of this one.

Choppin' It Up with Caprice Coleman

Caprice talks to Matt Taven and Mike Bennett. They say it's Matthew and Michael now, not Matt and Mike. Matt says they made a change. They say they are looking for intelligence they can't find here. Mike says they are doing that with AI. Mike asks why more teams aren't using AI.

Thoughts: It was an odd one. You'd think this would be a showcase for Miles, but it was even and I'd say Dante got more in than him. Neither guy is that really over though so there was no reason to care and the match wasn't that good. I didn't like this one.

Thoughts: It was another shorter bout. It should have been fast paced with a lot of flying and it never really got there. This was not that good.

Eddie Kingston, Ortiz and Mance Warner are interviewed. Mance says they have unfinished business and asks the interview to lose. Mance says if Rocky and Trent want violence, they will give them violence. Ortiz says he will give them what they want and stick his foot up their @sses. Eddie say he was out 18 months and Trent/Rocky dropped him on his head. 

Eddie says they don't want to play this game and if they want to take what defines him, he will take it from them. Eddie says Rocky knows what he can ado and they don't want to play this game. Eddie tells him to call Don if he wants and make their move.

Serpentico and Los Colon's (Eddie and Orlando Colon) vs Brandon Cutler, Terry Yaki and Jay Lucas

As a WWC viewer, this team makes no sense as Eddie and Orlando are feuding. But I don't expect them to keep that up outside of WWC.

Serp and Cutler go at it. Serp snapmares him into a crucifix. Cutler side headlock takeovers him. Serp chinlocks him. Cutler armdrags him into a senton. Serp enzugiri's Cutler out of the corner and headscissors him down for 2. Cutler high knees Serp.

Thoughts: I'd put it around the average to acceptable level. Eddie had a nice comeback as usual and the jobbers weren't that bad. Eddie's team won as expected here. 

Mark Sterling says he has a scoop. The Outrunners and Dalton Castle are next to him. He shows off his own action figure. Turbo asks who the action figure is and asks why anyone would want a doll of him. Turbo says they can use their dolls to beat up that doll. Mark says his figure needs to provide legal advice to their team. Dalton takes the figure and Mark says he will need it back.

He says he's had some of his happiest moments here and his happiest moment was getting on the plane and going south to Orlando. Mansoor says they want the tag titles to show how much better they are.

Action Andretti does a promo. He says it's another night and win. He says he's showing why he is the sight to see. He says he got to get his hands on Lio and choke him until he couldn't breathe. The lights start flickering and Lio Rush laughs. Action asks if he wants to play games and leaves.

The Dark Order and Vance hug. Vance then does the Dark Order hand sign.

Thoughts: The Frat House never really got over or worked. It wasn't their fault for the most part as they never won and never got to do anything. That crew breaking up is no real loss for anyone.

Overall thoughts: It was a long ROH at 2 hours and 19 minutes. As always, most of the wrestlers and matches were random. We did get three sets of champs on the show at least. They also did show some signs of improvement by showing us clips of things from other episodes and giving us some non-wrestling segments. Red Velvet vs Isla Dawn was surprisingly the match of the night. The two had a nice brawl and just beat up each other good. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall as it was an average show. I wouldn't recommend this one.

He says if he can't beat Lee after 3 attempts, he shouldn't challenge him again. Nigel says he won't wrestle in ROH again if he can't beat him for the title.

Thoughts: I wouldn't say it was great but they did keep it moving, it was competitive and Sara didn't have a bad showing. I'd say this was acceptable, but boy was this random. 

Deonna Purrazzo is interviewed. She says she's months into her open challenge and hasn't backed down. She says she didn't see any evidence of Steph De Lander being the greatest pure rules wrestler in her match. She accepts her challenge. She says when you face her, the outcome is always the same as you become fluent in Purrazzo.

Juice Robinson vs Anthony Henry

JR offers a handshake and Henry pretends to pee on him like a dog. Henry wristlocks him and JR reverses it. Henry armdrags him and taunts him with gun poses. JR tries to roll out of a wristlock.

Thoughts: Henry worked the legs here and eventually JR picked up the win. It wasn't super exciting or anything and was just average. 

Overall thoughts: It was the usual episode of ROH. Almost everything was random. People who haven't been on this show for weeks and months returned while people who should have been on the show weren't anywhere to be found. We only had one champ in action and only had one title match, despite ROH having 8 titles. This one also went over 2 hours and dragged because of it. Lee Mortiarty vs Angelico was easily the match of the night here. I wouldn't recommend this one. It was average overall and I'd give it a 5 out of 10.

Thoughts: It didn't really pick up until later on in the match and was slower than what I expected. There wasn't any great story or heels and faces here. I thought Alan was a little better than Nick was in this. It was so-so.

The Opps (Hook and Anthony Bowens) and Action Andretti vs Landon Hale, Robert Allen and Steve Allen

Hale offers Hook a handshake and Hook ignores him. Hook trips him and side headlocks him. Hook head and arm suplexes him. Hook hits shots to the gut in the corner then headbutts him down. Action euros Hale down. Action springboard diving lariats him.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one and was a pretty generic match. It really didn't impress all that much and they stuck with the absolute basics here. The announcer spent a lot more time talking about KG than Priest.

Isla Dawn does a promo. She says it's a new dawn in ROH. She says she doesn't need anyone's help and says look what happen when she stands on her own 2 feet. She says she will keep winning until she has ROH gold. She says Red Velvet has something she wants. She says she needs that ROH Women's TV Title.

Solo rolls him up for 2 then corkscrew kicks him. Solo top rope double stomps him for 2. GG spinning forearms him and pins him.

Thoughts: This got a lot of time. Solo was a pure face here and he did a decent job. He showed some spirit. Because of the level of both guys involved, this was competitive and either guy could have won. That made this more interesting. This was fine. 

Shane Taylor Promotions (Lee Moriarty & Shane Taylor) vs Spanish Announce Project (Angelico & Serpentico)

Ange wristlocks Lee and Lee armlocks him. Ange trips him and side headlocks him. Lee rolls out of a wristlock and trips hm. Lee gets a 2 count on him and Ange wristlocks him again. Serp top rope double stomps Lee's arm. Lee is hiptossed then Ange hiptossed Serp onto him.

Thoughts: It was fine. Shane's crew looked fine here and Serp got some shine before it ended. This also actually had a reason for happening as Lee is facing Ange on ROH later this week. They kept this one moving.

Red Velvet does a promo. She says she has a message for Isla Dawn. She says Isla wants the one thing she doesn't have in her ROH TV Title. Red says she's not scared and says to name the time and place. She says Isla thinks she has the recipe but she doesn't have the secret ingredient in Red Velvet. 

Mark Sterling talks before his team's match. He says Nese has more abs than most people in West Virginia have teeth. He insults the crowd more and tries to get the crowd to do the cheer for his team. 

Dalton Castle, Orange Cassidy & The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) vs. The Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese) & The Swirl (Blake Christian & Lee Johnson)

Blake is dressed up like OC. Blake pounds on Truth and chokes him with a jacket. Lee hits Truth in the gut then Ari punches Truth in the gut. Nese comes in and does push up's.

OC is held in the air for a double team ddt for 2. Everyone minus OC and and The Athletes fight to the back. Ari flying shoulders Nese on accident then OC orange punches Ari. OC orange punches Sterling off the apron then orange punches Nese. OC pins Nese.

Thoughts: It was an okay tag here. We see variations of this every week and it's always fine. OC was at least a new name to throw in the mix here and he didn't screw around too much. It was nothing you need to see but it was suitable for the main event.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual ROH show. Most of the matches were random and few got to be anything special. The main was easily the best thing on here. There was little storyline development as always. We no title matches here but 2 champs (The Ourunners and Lee Moriarty) wrestled here. I'd give this a 5 out of 10. It was average and little effort was put into it. I wouldn't recommend this one.

Action Andretti attacks Lio from behind after. AA hits mounted shots on Lio. AA rubs Lio's face into the TV Title and bangs his face off of it. Lio sits up after. AA bangs Lio's head off his belt.

Thoughts: Alan didn't really get enough in here to make this anything great and Bryan won as expected. This probably could have been a little faster and shorter. It wasn't awful or anything, just a bit one-sided. It was average.

Beccau is pulled down off the buckles and BS is thrown off the top. Becca misses a top rope 450. BS traps her arms and gordbusters her for the win.

Thoughts: It went longer than it needed to and wasn't that interesting. BS didn't do a lot but basic strikes here and Becca was jobbing, so she didn't get a ton either. It wasn't that good and was a bit boring.

Adam Brooks does a promo. He says he signed his first wrestling contract 6 years ago in ROH. He says the pandemic took it away from him. He says he was able to compete on Collision recently. He says he showed the world he belonged in the ring and is one of the best in the world. He says he's back in ROH and intends to stay here. He says ROH is about to get loose.

Mark Sterling does the intro for his team and insults Beef. He says his guys told him they couldn't get Jacksonville in shape. They then try to do their cheer but the fans don't say what they are supposed to. 

The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds & John Silver) vs. The Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese)

Nese slingshot plancha's Uno outside. Alex tope con hilos both opponents. Mark tells Beef to interfere and he doesn't. Mark goes after Alex and gets hit. Beef crossbodies Alex outside. Nese running knees Alex in the corner and pins him.

Thoughts: The Athletes win! The Athletes win! Seriously...it may have been their biggest win in a long time. The big news here was Beef helping The Athletes cheat. They still haven't really explained why either side wants the other though. What we got was fine but it could have been a little shorter.

The Athletes have Beef pose with them after. 

Rocky Romero talks on the mic before his match. He says The Don Callis Family has had nothing but success the past few months. Rocky says RPG Vice hasn't had the success that the standard of The Family holds. Rocky says they were given an open contract tonight to get an easy ROH win. Trent says to play a generic tune and bring out some faceless young boys. 

RPG VICE (Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta) vs Alex Zayne & Mance Warner

Mance pop up headbutts TB then running knees him. Mance is suplexed on the apron by RR. Alex inside to outside moonsaults and final cuts TB off of it. TB low blows Alex. Alex takes a top rope double stomp + b-driver combo and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was an okay tag here. I didn't like the burning hammer spot but it was fine otherwise. Alex had interesting offense and the heels had some neat double teams. Alex hasn't done much at all this year but showed up here for some reason. This was beyond random.

The heels go to attack Alex after, Mance helps out and TB low blows Mance. The heels go for more but Eddie Kingston and Ortiz make the save.

Nathan Cruz does a promo. He says Adam Brooks complains about how he should have been here 6 years ago. Cruz says he's been applying his trade all over the world and is only now getting his shot in ROH. He says he won't be sensation like Will Ospreay. He says he will be the first to welcome him to ROH.

Chopping It Up with Caprice Coleman

CC interviews Deonna Purrazzo. She says she is the first Women's Pure champ and gets to define herself. CC says a lot of women mimic Deonna. CC asks who she watches. She says she watches a lot of Jay Lethal. CC calls Jay the franchise and says we saw his life in wrestling. Deonna says she's been trying to make a life outside of wrestling and that's been her identity. She says she has a bachelor's degree and is trying to get a master's degree. She says she's part of various veteran organization with her husband. 

CC says we dream to become wrestlers, make an impact then have the choice to pick people up when they hit the big stage. Deonna says she wants everyone to see women's pure wrestling on par with men's wrestling. She says they don't always get that space.

They trade shots. Lane superkicks her and Hyan spears her. Hyan hits a jade end and pins her.

Thoughts: What we got was acceptable and not much more. Either girl in theory could have won here at least. It was nothing great and was totally random, but it's a matchup we haven't seen a lot of.

Nathan Cruz vs. Adam Brooks

They shake hands. NC wristlocks him. AB rolls out and reverses it.  NC headscissors him from the mat to escape. NC hammerlocks him and wristlocks him. They go for headlocks and shove each other. NC side headlocks him then AB houlders him over. NC goes for a leapfrog and is dropkicked down.

AB pump kicks him. NC running lariats him then cradle shocks him for 2. NC is up top and is enzugiri'd. AB superplexes NC then holds on for oblivion. AB top rope swantons him for the win.

Thoughts: It got a lot of time. AB didn't do his usual heel role here. It was acceptable but not much more. The best part about Adam is either his look or him being from Australia and there's only so much you can get out of that. I'm not rooting for him to fail or anything, just I don't see the money in him.

Rocky Romero and Trent Baretta do a promo. Trent complains about having to face bigger name wrestlers and says Don won't be happy about them needing a lot of time to win. Trent then complains that Eddie and Ortiz embarrassed them after. Trent says they will embarrass them now. rocky asks Eddie and Ortiz to fight them man to man.

Tom tombstones Kom. Tom misses a top rope diving headbutt. Tom hits forearms and Kom forearms back. Tom crucifixes him for 2. Kom germans him for 2. Kom walks up the ropes and diving headscissors Tom down. Kom rope walk ssp's Tom and pins him.

Thoughts: It lost a little of it's momentum in the second half. It was acceptable but didn't quite get as good as I had hoped. Kom flew a bit as usual here. Tom needed to heel it up a little here and Kom needed to show some fire.

Shane Taylor Promotions (Anthony Ogogo, Carlie Bravo, Shane Taylor & Shawn Dean) vs. SkyFlight (Dante Martin, Darius Martin, Matt Sydal & Scorpio Sky)

Dante and Bravo go at it. Dante side headlocks him and is shouldered over. Dante shoulders him over. Dante armdrags him then flying armdrags him. Dante dropkicks him. Dean comes in and Sky flying back elbows him. Sky is group beaten in the corner.

Shane splashes Matt. 

Shane is double dropkicked out. Dante and Darius hit stereo topes. Sky hits forearms on Ogogo. Sky jumping flatliners Ogogo. Ogogo is held for a top rope diving meteora from Matt. Matt pins him.

Thoughts: It was fast paced and people mostly just came in and out as they wanted here. It didn't really get enough time and we saw little of a few guys here. It was alright enough but nothing great.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual ROH show. Every match was basically random here. We only had one champ in action in our sole title match. Nothing was that great and it was hard to get super invested as usual. The show was also a little over 2 hours and the longer these shows go on, the less I like them. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 as it was acceptable, but there is absolutely nothing you need to see here. Anyone could have booked this show and little effort was put into this from creative. Maybe the Alex Zayne match was the best bout on here?

Caprice Coleman & Ian Riccaboni are on commentary.

Matt Sydal and Skyflight do a promo. Matt says the sky is no limit with them by their side. Shane Taylor comes in and says it seems that they are very limited. Shane asks how many people Top Flight will let people lean on them to get success. He says he keeps hearing about their potential but potential has a limit. He says they will be stuck here with the company they keep or join them and find their potential. Darius tells Dante that Shane has some good points and asks what he thinks. Dante says they will stick with people who have been to the places they want to go to. Shane tells them to stay stuck here and says they will pay for it.

Thoughts: I didn't like this segment. Heels are supposed to lie. Shane said nothing here that was a lie. Skyflight has done nothing for Top Flight and they are dumb to stay.

Yuta wristlocks Alex and Alex snapmares him into a pin attempt. Yuta boots him and punches him. Yuta chops him. Alex running back elbows him and flying back elbows him over. Yuta takes shots from both opponents. Uno chops Yuta. Yuta is tripped and takes a double basement dropkick.

Thoughts: The Death Riders won as expected. It didn't get a ton of time to be anything special. What we got was acceptable but not much more. The Dark Order had some new double teams here.

Komander vs. Alan Angels

AA boots his hand away on the handshake and john woo's him. AA punches and chops him in the corner. AA running chops him then half-nelson suplexes him. Kom armdrags him from his shoulder and la magistral's him off a flying headscissors attempt. Kom walks up the ropes and springboard dropkicks AA.

Kom goes to springboard in and AA dropkicks him. AA sits up top and Kom top rope hurricanrana's him. Kom rope walk SSP's him and pins him.

Thoughts: It wasn't quite the fast-paced juniors match you would expect here. It was a little slower and AA was a bit of a heel. I thought this was just average and I would have rather seen them just fly around.

Zachary Wentz vs. Nick Comoroto

Zach euros him and Nick throws him in the corner. Zach 2nd rope diving headscissors Nick out then tornillo's him outside. Zack 2nd rope tornillo's him inside for 2. Nick death valley drivers Zach for 2.

Thoughts: It was a shorter one and mostly all squash here. The crowd wasn't too into it and I don't blame them as it was average.

Mark Sterling does the intro for The Premier Athletes before their match. He calls Nese "The King of New York City". Mark then tries do his team's cheer. 

Bustah And The Brain (Alec Price & Jordan Oliver) & The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd) vs. The Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese) & The Swirl (Blake Christian & Lee Johnson)

Blake misses a top rope 450. AP rebound lariats Nese and Blake. Turbo comes in and hits shots on Ari. Ari tries to knee him in the gut but knees the belt instead. Turbo slams the heels one by one. Everyone starts hitting moves one by one. The faces hit 2 sets of double elbow drops for a 2 count on Ari. Blake and Lee take superkicks off the apron. 

The Runners stop AP and JO from doing dives and they say they want to do the dives. They then go to the apron and hit double axe handles. Ari takes a double styles clash and is pinned. 

Thoughts: We see variations of this every week and the heels almost always lose. The heels lost again here. It was an okay bout with them having some fun and keeping things interesting. I know wearing the title belt during the match is Turbo's thing, but that should not be legal whatsoever. Blake seemed like he might have hurt his knee off a top rope 450 but was able to get through the match.

The heels attack the faces after. Jay Lethal joins in. Dalton Castle comes out to help the faces and hits a bangarang on Jay.

Thoughts: Tiara got a lot in here and this kind of seemed like a tryout for her. She has appeared on AEW TV a few times in the last few weeks. It was average but Tiara did her part and didn't botch.

The Kingdom do a promo. Taven says they are undefeated since they returned to ROH. Taven says their intelligence is on a god level and they are dealing with artificial intelligence. Mike says they have always been missing that thing that puts them over the top and says it's artificial intelligence. Mike says he's learning how to die and wrestle better. He says AI taught him to focus on what matters and that's the ROH Tag Titles. Taven says it's not the same old Matt and Mike and it's a new era of The Kingdon. Taven says it's a computerized era of The Kingdom.

Thoughts: Well, that was something different. We just need Alexandra York and The York Foundation is back, baby.

Thoughts: It was a shorter squash and The Opps won as expected. GKM wasn't that bad here. This was mostly the Bowens show here.

Mark running lariats Dez for 2. Dez hurricanrana's him for 2. Dez superkicks him then Mark lariats him down. Mark lifing piledrivers him for the win.

Thoughts: It never got as it good as it could have. Dez just didn't get to fly around too much, it was a little slower and the crowd wasn't that into it. It was just average. 

Overall thoughts: The opener was acceptable. Komander/Angels wasn't the fast juniors match I had hoped for and was average. Zach Wentz squashed Comoroto. The 8-man was probably the best bout of the night and was alright. Maya/Tiara was average and The Opps won a squash. The main was also average and had a crowd that wasn't too into it. I'd give this a 5 out of 10 as there was a lot of average wrestling here and there was nothing that good. This show was average overall.

Ring of Honor on HonorClub 7/16/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/ring-of-honor-on-honorclub-792026.html

The next show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/ring-of-honor-on-honorclub-7232026.html 

We are in Jacksonville, FL. Caprice Coleman & Ian Riccaboni are on commentary.

We get a Lio Rush video to start. He plays with goo, has smoke and says he's coming. He also talks about the rain and says go back.

Mark Sterling puts his crew over before their match, except for Beef.

The heels break up the faces' triple team finisher. Ari flying shoulders Nese on accident. Beef bodyblocks Ari on accident. Beef takes a double team slam. Beef then takes a double elbow drop + double axe handle and is pinned.

Thoughts: It was fine. It made sense with Beef screwing up and The Athletes not liking him anyway (so why are they teaming?). The faces won as expected as The Athletes never win anything here. We didn't see much of Dalton in this one.

The Runners and Dalton are interviewed in the ring after. Truth says nothing succeeds like success. Turbo has nothing really to say. Dalton says they are the greatest trio to step foot in a wrestling ring. Ian Riccaboni says The Lethal Twist are also undefeated. Dalton says Ian has upset him now. He says he gets irate and disgusted with them. Turbo says if The Twist things they can get the belt off his waist, not even can. Dalton puts over The Runners. Truth says if you haven't seen Dalton and The Runners, you haven't seen nothing yet. 

They say The Rougeau Family will be honored at AEW Redemption.

Tim chinlocks him then euros him. Tim misses a corner splash. Ange hits leg kicks. Ange blocks a sunset flip and double stomps him. Ange upkicks him then twists his legs into an ankle lock. Tim then submits.

Thoughts: It's a shame it didn't get more time. What we got was fine here and it was bit more competitive than I expected. Ange won as expected since he's a regular here and Tim is still working on that. 

Main Man Oro vs. Mark Davidson

Thoughts: It was a bit unusual with Mark getting a lot in. Oro won but he didn't exactly get put over here. Oro had some interesting offense here with various rolling kicks. It was average.

Thoughts: It was competitive with a lot of hard shots thrown. What we got wasn't bad. Maybe The Kingdom winning via nefarious means will lead to something? Both teams looked fine here and it was a little better than I expected. 

AR Fox does a video. He says he was champ last time he was here and was crying over a title he doesn't have anymore. Alan Angels comes in, sits down and mocks him. He says nothing is ever good enough for him. Alan says AR trained him 10 years ago, but he didn't care about him and never took him on the road. He says AR didn't believe in him and he did it by himself. Alan says he got signed before AR did. AR says he's not here anymore. Alan says he takes opportunities and says he wants to fight AR.

AR rolls into the ropes and double stomps AA's gut. AR tope con hilos him from the apron. AR ddt' him then walks him into a cutter for 2. AR top rope swantons AA for 2. AR kicks him while he's down. AR trips him then misses a 450. AA spin kicks him in the gut then half-nelson suplexes him. AA spin kicks him in the head for 2.

AR does a suplex for 2 and AA pushes him away. AR enzugiri's him. AA is on the 2nd rope and AR seated spanish flies him. AR top rope 450's him and wins.

Thoughts: It was the longest match on the show at this point. It was all flying and junior wrestling here. The selling wasn't the best but it went well otherwise. Alan loses in his big return here and it seems like his story of being mad at AR is over.

ROH World Tag Team Title Match - El Sky Team (Mascara Dorada & Mistico) (c) vs. Los Hermanos Chavez (Angel de Oro & Niebla Roja)

Note - I already reviewed this here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/07/cmll-7102026-viernes-escpectacular.html 

CMLL gives Oro and Roja a plaque for 20 years of service. Oro and Roja are wearing their old Angel de Oro and Angel de Plata masks and outfits here...which also happen to be the same colors Mist and MD are wearing.

Thoughts: Both teams have titles here so someone had to lose and it was the heels. Oro's mask was a downgrade for him here while Roja looked better mask. What we got was fine with them doing a lot of flying. It is hard to show emotion though when your face is covered and everyone had their face covered here.

Chopping It Up with Caprice Coleman

Caprice Coleman talks to Sammy Guevara. Sammy says the pleasure belongs to the viewers. Sammy says the people can talk good or bad, but they are talking about him. He says he held the tag titles three times without losing them. Sammy says he is water and a universal wrestler. He says he has wrestled around the world but still feels a lack of respect. Caprice says Sammy has grown in front of the camera.

Sammy shouts out his daughter and says she made him a better person. He says his daughter can see that he's a guy trying his best. He says he still hasn't become champ but wants to. He says one day he will hold the world title and his daughter and have the world in his arms. He says the sky isn't the limit as there's  a whole universe out there for him.

Thoughts: It was an alright match here with lots of fast paced action. I was surprised Price and Jordan won here since they lose so much, but MxM also tends to lose a lot here. It got a lot of time. I liked the double styles clash and Mansoor took a nice dropkick near the end.

Thoughts: This was beyond random. Cutler hasn't seen an AEW/ROH ring in a long time and Dez is often in tag competition. I don't know why we saw this. It was acceptable but nothing too special. Dez won as expected.

Lee sitout powerbombs Lio for 2. Lio standing spanish flies Lee then cutters him. Lio does a bridging choke and Lee is out. Lio wins.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. It was herky-jerky early and they did a lot of chops that killed the flow. Lio really spammed the cutter and stunner here and him going outside late into this didn't help either. Lio also won as expected.

Overall thoughts: This was an absurdly long edition of ROH at 2 hours and 38 minutes. Why? I have absolutely no idea. There was so much stuff that could have been aired on another show, with Brandon Cutler being the shining example of that. Almost all the matches were random and there wasn't a lot of non-wrestling stuff like usual We did get multiple title matches and multiple champions in action though which was nice. Most of the wrestling was acceptable here, but there was nothing must see on this. MxM Collection's match was my favorite match of the night. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 as there was a lot of okay wrestling, but the length was a major negative and it had a lot of the usual issues ROH shows have.
