00:01:28The fans were kicking things up
00:01:30on our way through this brunch match.
00:01:32We take it to Bobby Crews.
00:01:34This tag team match is set for
00:01:36one fall with a 20 minute time limit.
00:01:38Team number one
00:01:40being accompanied by Evil Uno
00:01:42and a combined weight
00:01:44of 402 pounds
00:01:46John Silver
00:01:48Alex Reynolds
00:01:50Dark Order.
00:01:52Silver
00:01:54and Reynolds.
00:01:58Top tag team contenders
00:02:00but tonight it is about
00:02:02something a little bit different,
00:02:04a little bit more intense.
00:02:06You know the championships
00:02:08may wake you up in the morning
00:02:10and be your why and your drive
00:02:12but tonight it is the feeling
00:02:14of being overlooked, overshadowed,
00:02:16being here to create the foundation
00:02:18of what this era of ring of honor has become
00:02:20against someone
00:02:22who they feel has had plenty of
00:02:24opportunities to come in and begin
00:02:26to get the credit for it.
00:02:28I can understand the frustration here
00:02:30but the disrespect behind it and the heritage
00:02:32behind Dustin Rhodes
00:02:34has turned a lot of people
00:02:36sour, especially this man
00:02:38right here.
00:02:42The opponents
00:02:44are the combined weight of 425 pounds
00:02:46First,
00:02:48Dustin Texas
00:02:50He is one third of the ring of honor
00:02:52World Six-Man
00:02:54Champion
00:02:56The natural
00:02:58Dustin Rhodes
00:03:00And Dustin Rhodes
00:03:02a little bit of a pull out attack
00:03:04by the Dark Order
00:03:06and what an unlikely ally he has
00:03:08found, a man who has come
00:03:10to ring of honor.
00:03:14His partner
00:03:16from Houston, Texas
00:03:18Sammy
00:03:20Gamora
00:03:22Sammy Gamora
00:03:24no stranger
00:03:26to the Texas scene
00:03:28and I'll tell you what
00:03:30he's a man who has racked up
00:03:32championships three times over
00:03:34and he's got the TNT Champion
00:03:38and a man
00:03:40who by my count, Caprice
00:03:42has been TNT
00:03:44his people
00:03:50Gamora
00:03:52by my account
00:03:54making his ring of honor debut
00:03:56here tonight
00:03:58A lot of respect for Sammy
00:04:00congratulations on being a new father
00:04:02and standing up for what he feels is right
00:04:04that's what we need as people in the world
00:04:06when you see somebody
00:04:08as good as being number one
00:04:10standing up for him at second
00:04:12what Sammy's done in the tag team situation
00:04:14is someone with the greatest history
00:04:16in professional wrestling with his family
00:04:18and his career alone
00:04:20and that's Dustin Rhodes
00:04:22crowd rallying behind
00:04:24Sammy here
00:04:26and I'll tell you what, becoming a father
00:04:28changes your perspective
00:04:30it puts things into different focus
00:04:32maybe not better focus, but different focus
00:04:34Sammy always finds himself around a veteran
00:04:36he sure does
00:04:38there's nothing you can do
00:04:44Gamora returning to action here
00:04:48he looks great, look at that
00:04:50absolutely chiseled here
00:04:52another thing about Gamora, he looks relaxed
00:04:56he looks healed
00:04:58he looks rested
00:05:00and there's that serenity about becoming a father as well
00:05:02and then that new wow
00:05:04why am I doing this now
00:05:06side headlock here
00:05:08we're going to start things off with John Silver
00:05:10Sammy Gamora here
00:05:12fans the path of the All-In Summer Series is underway
00:05:14running throughout August
00:05:16before anybody else does this Sunday
00:05:18if you had any questions
00:05:20about whether or not
00:05:22Sammy Gamora
00:05:24would be as light and as fast on his feet
00:05:26tag me, they are out the window at this point
00:05:28as Dustin Rhodes, one third
00:05:30of the six-man champs tags in
00:05:32shoulder tackle there
00:05:34working together already
00:05:36just wanting to have a common
00:05:38intro, it's another thing to
00:05:40actually be a team
00:05:42and Dustin
00:05:44might be looking for some revenge
00:05:46here tonight
00:05:48after the attack that the Dark Order
00:05:50had, you know you think back to
00:05:52death before dishonor, it was the Dark Order
00:05:54facing Dustin Rhodes
00:05:56and Levon Eriks
00:05:58Dustin and Levon Eriks get the win, they go on to win
00:06:00the six-man championship belts and now
00:06:02it's Gamora
00:06:04out of the way
00:06:06yes sir
00:06:10and look at Gamora
00:06:12that's the type of stuff you learn
00:06:14from veterans man, taking your time
00:06:16the break dancing?
00:06:18no, learning how not to rush into something
00:06:20when you see it happen, not to put that full gear
00:06:22in there
00:06:24oh wait a minute
00:06:26it's outside the book of ropes
00:06:28and
00:06:30I don't think so
00:06:34there you go
00:06:44and Dustin Rhodes
00:06:52he's about to get a shout out to the first wrestling break
00:06:54dance
00:06:56I didn't know about
00:06:58that
00:07:00they've been long time
00:07:02good friends
00:07:04and Dustin's made so many friends
00:07:06especially here in the Texas area, that's why it's so
00:07:08disheartening to see the Dark
00:07:10Order do what they did, that jealousy
00:07:12feeling man, and we've all
00:07:14met moments of jealousy
00:07:16we've all met moments where we had to look
00:07:18ourselves in the mirror and say, I gotta get
00:07:20rid of this feeling
00:07:22but I've never done anything as despicable
00:07:24as the Dark Order's done
00:07:26I understand what they feel though, and I'm sure they're the only ones
00:07:28that feel that way sometimes
00:07:32and that knee, we saw Dustin
00:07:34hobble
00:07:36when he was coming down the ramp
00:07:38that knee was giving him trouble, the Dark Order
00:07:40had really taken advantage of that knee
00:07:42during that attack
00:07:44that type of stuff man, you can't plan for
00:07:46it happens to any athlete, it can happen at any time
00:07:48and I hope Dustin's okay, I hope he can recover from it
00:07:50but Rhodes saw that
00:07:52he smells blood in the water
00:07:54but it's out of the way though
00:07:56routes to the outside, it's Dustin
00:07:58again, we saw that
00:08:00little lift, goodness
00:08:02and we wondered
00:08:08and look at Dustin now
00:08:10that adrenaline going
00:08:12moving just a little
00:08:14bit quicker
00:08:16surely in pain though, and sometimes
00:08:18all you need is to get that blood flowing back inside
00:08:20of whatever happened
00:08:22and that definitely gets you through the match
00:08:24tomorrow morning you'll find out if something's wrong
00:08:26when that adrenaline shuts off
00:08:28and Dustin sends Reynolds back
00:08:30into the ring there, Dustin taking his time
00:08:36like I said, it's the test right here
00:08:38if Dustin stands straight up, he's good
00:08:40if he stands straight up, he's good, if he goes in under the second rope
00:08:42he's not
00:08:44and Reynolds now, he's straight up, that's good
00:08:46and Dustin back to his feet
00:08:48that's good
00:08:52working with his back
00:08:54foot more
00:08:58what the hell was that
00:09:02and Sammy Guevara
00:09:04now, wait a minute, cover
00:09:06to
00:09:08Guevara's off to chase Uno out
00:09:10and it's out two on one with the Dark Order
00:09:12scariest thing about being two on one
00:09:14with the Dark Order, this is the most cohesive
00:09:16unit I've seen in tag team wrestling
00:09:18their kind of offense is
00:09:20non-stop, they've come within an eyelash
00:09:22and Guevara is back
00:09:24he's running Uno off
00:09:26with that single leg DDT
00:09:28yeah, Hungie has found that
00:09:30focal point and now is working
00:09:32you can't expose something like that in a match
00:09:34and expect an athlete not to go to it
00:09:36it doesn't make you good or bad, it makes you a wrestler
00:09:38trying to win, Rick Obani
00:09:40and Silver
00:09:42and Rhodes is nobbled
00:09:44Rhodes into the corner, I'll tell you that chair shot
00:09:46right to that leg, man, right when we thought it was
00:09:48getting better, right when Rhodes stood right to his feet
00:09:50and right here, Hungie's
00:09:52hanging that leg off a drop, pulling right there
00:09:54to ACL, joints to MCL
00:09:56stretching the patella, all of it, Rick Obani
00:09:58the knee
00:10:00so delicate
00:10:02the way it supports
00:10:04just putting pressure
00:10:06you ever seen a retired basketball
00:10:08player, you see a lot of them, man, they have those knees
00:10:10that cave inside, and you put their life
00:10:12on the line with this sport, man
00:10:14and your body's the one that pays for it
00:10:16oh my goodness
00:10:18Reynolds knows
00:10:20exactly, Reynolds, man, one of the
00:10:22most technically sound wrestlers
00:10:24in the world, doesn't do much fancy stuff
00:10:26but everything Reynolds does, he does
00:10:28well
00:10:30especially putting together a game plan
00:10:32in a tag team match
00:10:34shot to the skull
00:10:36of Guevara, who was sent to the
00:10:38outside ropes, almost
00:10:40looking for the win here, cover, two
00:10:42and that was a smart move, put it closer to his own corner
00:10:44with a single leg, Reynolds going right back to
00:10:46where the shark smells blood
00:10:50and wow
00:10:52Kurt Henning there, yeah, stretching the hamstring
00:10:54out right there, going right to
00:10:56the face of the natural one
00:11:00and those shots tag made
00:11:02Stephon Smith ensuring
00:11:04Dustin can continue
00:11:06Dustin's in trouble
00:11:08there's no shame right now, if Dustin has
00:11:10to call this, that knee
00:11:12because of the cowardice
00:11:14that has somehow developed within
00:11:16the Dark Order at this point, these are not the young
00:11:18men that we knew
00:11:22because it was just an
00:11:24unprompted attack
00:11:26driven by jealousy
00:11:28we'll be honest Ricker Bynum, before the Dark Order
00:11:30started doing this, they weren't on the best side
00:11:32of the winning records
00:11:34since they've been wrestling the way they want to
00:11:36they've been more in the win column
00:11:38and they're now forced to be wrecking with nice
00:11:40dragon leg grip
00:11:42and a single leg grab, you're right Caprice
00:11:44I mean there might be something to this
00:11:46edge that they found
00:11:48just the pain, look at Sammy Guevara trying
00:11:50everything he can to will
00:11:52his partner, Dustin Rhodes
00:11:54the look on Johnny Hungry man
00:11:56is just nefarious, the hatred
00:11:58behind the anger that's inside of
00:12:00Hungry
00:12:02Rhodes planting that fist
00:12:04getting the hips around, delivering those
00:12:06sighs, 15 boots
00:12:08into the corner, tag is made
00:12:10Hungry man, he knew
00:12:12he was in trouble, went right to the tag
00:12:14that's what I mean about the cohesiveness of the Dark Order
00:12:16doesn't matter which two you have
00:12:18in there, of the three, they work
00:12:20extremely well together
00:12:22and they are so good
00:12:24look at this
00:12:26just toying with Dustin at this point Caprice
00:12:28there's toying
00:12:30and there's also being cautious
00:12:32because you know a wily veteran can wait
00:12:34has those uppercuts, he has ways to strike
00:12:36from all angles
00:12:38I think Rhodes is taking his time and picking his shots
00:12:40as he should but Rhodes
00:12:42if he's breathing, if he's got a pulse
00:12:44he's got a chance, he's fighting
00:12:46as the Rhodes always do
00:12:48trying to get out of the corner, it's Rhodes now
00:12:50dropping the hips, Rhodes trying to power through
00:12:52trying to break through and conquer here
00:12:54it's Rhodes smartly
00:12:56dropping his own hips, bringing Rhodes back
00:12:58to the corner, you play the game plan
00:13:00of tag team and nobody does it
00:13:02like the Dark Order
00:13:06and Rhodes to the outside
00:13:14and Dustin
00:13:16the adrenaline pumping Sammy
00:13:18with the outstretched arm
00:13:20Guevara
00:13:22looking to make a tag here
00:13:26and it's Dustin on hand and knee
00:13:28and Rhodes
00:13:30ha ha
00:13:32there you go, snap power slam
00:13:34delivered to perfection and will
00:13:36by Dustin time and that time
00:13:38he will take the try to tag in Sammy
00:13:40and Sammy is ready to go
00:13:42and Dustin
00:13:44coming alive
00:13:46can he find Sammy
00:13:48tag man to silver, tag man to Guevara
00:13:50and it's silver
00:13:52Guevara
00:13:54so graceful
00:13:56up in the air is Guevara
00:13:58look at the three footedness
00:14:00changing directions
00:14:02Johnny Hunker didn't know what hit him
00:14:04it was Sammy Guevara
00:14:06and Guevara
00:14:08off the ropes
00:14:10just nipple
00:14:16had a lot to step there
00:14:18he may have gained a step
00:14:20yeah, I tell you what, that's what I mean, he looks rested
00:14:22off the ropes
00:14:26one, two
00:14:28to come there
00:14:30knocking on the door, Seth Guevara
00:14:32coming in, changing the whole trajectory
00:14:34of this battle
00:14:36Guevara getting the
00:14:38people in Arlington behind him
00:14:40the East Stadium
00:14:42might be looking for the 630
00:14:44up top
00:14:46I haven't seen the 630 so long, nobody
00:14:48does it like Guevara
00:14:50lands on his feet
00:14:54and it is silver
00:14:56domination
00:14:58and a friend
00:15:00two
00:15:04no set up needed
00:15:06just knowing the timing of one another
00:15:08the Dark Order was able to get those shots
00:15:10in on the back of Sammy Guevara
00:15:12now Sammy Guevara who was hot
00:15:14to try it a second ago is now
00:15:16looking for a tag himself
00:15:18at the hands of the Dark Order
00:15:20and Reynolds knows it
00:15:22Reynolds will circle around and put a body
00:15:24between
00:15:26one, two
00:15:28oh so close
00:15:30and the trash talk from Reynolds
00:15:32trying to get inside the mind
00:15:34oh and it's silver
00:15:36taken down by Guevara
00:15:38oh super kick there
00:15:40the heart of Guevara
00:15:42showing
00:15:44nice knee, my goodness
00:15:46and Guevara
00:15:48off the ropes, pop up
00:15:50caught, oh my god
00:15:52Reynolds landed that knee flush on that one
00:15:54Reynolds trying to get this off, tag it in
00:15:56trying to put it away, Riccoboni
00:15:58certainly are the Dark Order, they love this tag team combination here
00:16:00double stop
00:16:02into the DDT
00:16:04lays a cover
00:16:06to Dustin at the neck of time
00:16:08there's not many mistakes that the Dark Order
00:16:10makes and the mistake that was made
00:16:12is that Reynolds did not go towards
00:16:14Dustin, Reynolds went the wrong way
00:16:16could have blocked that pin from being
00:16:18could have kept that pin from being blocked
00:16:20absolutely right
00:16:22a rare mistake and quite a great
00:16:24bout that the Dark Order
00:16:28are fighting here, looking for the dual figure
00:16:30force, oh no
00:16:32a dual collision here
00:16:34and discharge from Dustin
00:16:38and Johnny Silver takes out
00:16:40that astral, Sammy Guevara
00:16:42that pump knee again, wait a minute
00:16:44Guevara looking for GTH
00:16:46no, standing switch
00:16:48waist lock, oh it crossed
00:16:50could it be
00:16:52GTH

00:21:40Valkyrie
00:21:42Taya Valkyrie
00:21:44find yourself that looks at you
00:21:46the way Johnny TV looks at Taya
00:21:48one of the great
00:21:50stars here at ROH
00:21:52a great effort at Battle of the Belts
00:21:56Taya Valkyrie
00:21:58if she can string together a few
00:22:00wins here
00:22:02undoubtedly
00:22:04will find herself in contention
00:22:06she's called out the champions recently
00:22:08wouldn't you man
00:22:10we can add the pedigree that Valkyrie had
00:22:12world traveled
00:22:14wins all over the world
00:22:16titles all over the world
00:22:18someone like Taya Valkyrie
00:22:20can do whatever she wants with her body
00:22:24and her opponent, we'll go back to Bobby Crews
00:22:26her opponent, Taya
00:22:28Taya
00:22:30we go stranger to Ring of Honor
00:22:32welcome back
00:22:34we've seen Haiyan in Ring of Honor
00:22:36when the women's division relaunched in 2021
00:22:38and ever since
00:22:40it has become the centerpiece
00:22:42the focal point of Ring of Honor
00:22:44you talk about Athena
00:22:46you talk about a great run
00:22:48Diana Perrazzo had
00:22:50Mercedes Martinez
00:22:52the reality of wrestling
00:22:54student there
00:22:56is Haiyan
00:22:58the women's division
00:23:00television title
00:23:06and Taya saying Haiyan
00:23:08not TV ready
00:23:10and that's simply not true
00:23:12Haiyan has been competing in New Japan
00:23:14WXW in Germany, Repro in the UK
00:23:16here's where Taya
00:23:18can make a mistake
00:23:20take somebody like Haiyan
00:23:22and not take them serious
00:23:24because you don't know where they've come from
00:23:26extra person
00:23:28that meteor landed
00:23:30knocked Haiyan out
00:23:32and the closing speed
00:23:34that fast twitch
00:23:36sprint across the ring
00:23:38here's the thing, you got somebody like Taya
00:23:40you see how famous she is in the ring
00:23:42and then she's a manager as well
00:23:44that's what Johnny TV has
00:23:46and that just speaks to the way Taya can see you
00:23:48she's almost like a football coach
00:23:50or a counselor in baseball
00:23:52who goes from behind the plate to becoming a baseball manager
00:23:54she can do it both
00:23:56it's a great seat in the house
00:23:58and look at this
00:24:00one helps the other, it's a symbiotic relationship
00:24:04and it's Taya now
00:24:06who's downstairs
00:24:08stack, two
00:24:10and maybe a little bit of a nonchalant
00:24:12cover there
00:24:14with that high stack though, keeping those knees over the shoulder
00:24:16that's still a stacked hand
00:24:18putting those elbows in, you've seen matches
00:24:20stop at this elbow
00:24:22she's a great wrestler
00:24:24everything she does, she knows exactly what she's doing
00:24:26stretching the deltoids out
00:24:28and the shoulders here, rotating the cuffs
00:24:32trying to make her way back to her feet
00:24:34as Haiyan here against Taya Valkyrie
00:24:38oh
00:24:40she is a tough contender
00:24:42for the women's world television championship
00:24:44we've heard that before
00:24:46and I sent Merritt rolling through
00:24:48holding on is the renaissance woman
00:24:50again
00:24:52close line, Valkyrie stays on her feet
00:24:56and charging in with a big boot
00:24:58thrust kick to the midsection
00:25:00Valkyrie, big knee
00:25:02up the ropes
00:25:04and in, Taya Valkyrie with the spears
00:25:06uh oh, the legs are trapped
00:25:08Taya tying her up
00:25:12elbows to the lower spine
00:25:14Caprice, it's time
00:25:16Shania
00:25:18oh my god, that curb stomp like maneuver
00:25:20has turned Haiyan off
00:25:22two
00:25:24that's it
00:25:26who will win this match
00:25:28Taya Valkyrie
00:25:30everybody, there's nothing more painful
00:25:32than knowing something's coming
00:25:34and nothing you can do about it
00:25:36that's exactly what Shania
00:25:38you see that foot in the back of your head
00:25:40you're executing your arms out of the way
00:25:42and you know you're getting ready to get your face stomped in a mat
00:25:44and that has been
00:25:46one of the keys
00:25:48to the success
00:25:50to continued success of Taya Valkyrie
00:25:52we've said it once, we'll say it again
00:25:54an embarrassment of riches here in the women's division

00:28:22bad news and tattoos
00:28:24Caraway Ramos
00:28:26the
00:28:30infantry
00:28:32the infantry have been on fire here
00:28:34and Ring of Honor
00:28:36when there was the main event win a few weeks ago
00:28:38against the Dark Order
00:28:40and great showing that they have
00:28:42stepping forward as honor, zero hour, you name it
00:28:44new lineups and teams
00:28:46they knocked them down
00:28:48and they have taken the teams
00:28:50that they are facing here tonight
00:28:52to the limit in the past
00:28:54to the proving ground
00:28:56tonight the titles on the line
00:28:58no proving grounds tonight
00:29:00just like you said Rick Abad
00:29:02the new Ring of Honor tag team
00:29:04champions
00:29:08you don't get no cooler than that Rick Abad
00:29:10and there's the captain Sean Dean
00:29:14partner Carly Bravo
00:29:16they are facing one of the greatest teams
00:29:18in Ring of Honor history
00:29:20the reigning and defending tag team champions
00:29:24the Dark Order
00:29:26repping out of Boston, Massachusetts
00:29:28at a combined weight of
00:29:30427 pounds
00:29:32they are representing
00:29:34undisputed kingdom
00:29:36and they are
00:29:38the Ring of Honor
00:29:40world tag team champions
00:29:42Mike Bennett
00:29:44and Matt Taven
00:29:48Bennett on the left, Taven on the right
00:29:50three times over
00:29:54Ring of Honor world tag team champions
00:29:56a reign approaching
00:29:58over 200 days
00:30:04look at that, no Melvin section
00:30:06and Melvin's Rick Abad
00:30:08no matter what Taven calls him
00:30:12those were folks in support of the
00:30:14undisputed kingdom
00:30:16which is
00:30:18getting harder and harder to find
00:30:20after the tactics
00:30:22by which they used to
00:30:24defeat the conglomeration
00:30:26and then the core designer
00:30:28sounds so surprised
00:30:30Rick Abad, I shouldn't be at this point
00:30:32I mean think about Taven
00:30:34when he was world champion, six man tag team champion
00:30:36champion, baby tag team champion
00:30:40this has been the same undisputed kingdom
00:30:42forever, and you still are surprised by him
00:30:44you should call him Charlie Brown now
00:30:48even whether it's CMLL
00:30:50New Japan here
00:30:52that's right
00:30:54CMLL
00:30:56one of the top championships there
00:30:58referee Aubrey Edwards
00:31:00displaying for all to see
00:31:02what is on the line here tonight
00:31:04Ring of Honor world tag team championship
00:31:10calling now for the code of honor
00:31:12it is adhered to
00:31:14little bit of a surprise
00:31:16there honestly
00:31:18I think Taven
00:31:20once you take a loss with a team
00:31:22or a team breaks out of their improvement ground
00:31:24you want to give them all you got
00:31:26and you try to make no mistakes at all
00:31:28and I think that's exactly what undisputed kingdom is trying to come up with
00:31:30the infantry
00:31:32and the crisscross
00:31:34for the kingdom
00:31:38I think Taven is just happy they broke the curse of death
00:31:40before it's honor
00:31:46AWL is loaded
00:31:48tapped off by AWL in Wembley stadium
00:31:50London England live Sunday August 25th
00:31:52on pay per view tickets available now
00:31:54ticketmaster.co.uk
00:31:56be a part of injuring Taven
00:31:58even though he's taking his time
00:32:00they're just breaking the moment
00:32:08I don't think Antonio let that happen
00:32:10I don't think the infantry is going to let that happen
00:32:12what a big show
00:32:14I mean Paul White
00:32:16Paul White member of the board
00:32:18certainly brought in specifically
00:32:20to try and keep the undisputed kingdom
00:32:22at bay
00:32:26and it is Carly Bravo
00:32:28sending Taven in
00:32:30getting this match back in the ring
00:32:32wristlock there
00:32:34kicked to the midsection
00:32:36Bravo now makes the tag
00:32:38it's kept to John Dean
00:32:40the tag team match that the infantry is known for
00:32:42they get better
00:32:44double fist drop out
00:32:46inside leg hook
00:32:48two
00:32:50to count only
00:32:54the infantry historically a team that the undisputed kingdom
00:32:56has had problems with
00:32:58see how much air John Dean got on that one
00:33:02certainly did in the corner
00:33:04up and over
00:33:06Taven tried the same thing Dean was ready for
00:33:08two
00:33:10inside cradle
00:33:12two
00:33:14Taven
00:33:16there it is
00:33:18two
00:33:20knocked out Taven
00:33:22John needs to bring him to the corner
00:33:24try to cut it off
00:33:26these two teams have been intrinsically
00:33:28like tag made
00:33:30such a hard enough
00:33:32ring of honor came to honor club weekly
00:33:34I think back to the United States
00:33:36the biggest stage the infantry has ever been
00:33:38wow
00:33:40defeated the undisputed kingdom
00:33:42cover
00:33:44two
00:33:46the undisputed kingdom not champions at that time though
00:33:48Caprice
00:33:50tandem offense right there
00:33:52by the infantry shows you that they have a game plan
00:33:54they're trying to work it to perfection
00:33:56against the undisputed kingdom
00:34:00put that sleep on Bravo
00:34:02can't break it though
00:34:04and into the corner tag made
00:34:06Taven tags himself in here
00:34:08smart move by Andre
00:34:10takeover there from Bravo
00:34:12Bravo so smooth with the body
00:34:14he certainly is
00:34:16the wrist lock here and the tag is made
00:34:18it is captain Sean Dean now
00:34:20second rope on the inside
00:34:22sizing Taven up
00:34:24delivers
00:34:26double axel on the right there on the elbow
00:34:30to keep
00:34:32Matt Taven from doing that climax
00:34:38oorah
00:34:40and the captain
00:34:42in the ring oh it's Carly Bravo
00:34:44getting the crowd oh that big left from the set
00:34:46pause but it allows Matt
00:34:48Taven
00:34:50to grab a hold on the captain
00:34:52nice suplex there
00:34:54sometimes all Matt Taven needs is a
00:34:56second to get in control
00:34:58and he'll take it
00:35:00nice lateral press there
00:35:02with the leg hooked and the champs tag made
00:35:04evenly fought that thus far
00:35:06oh goodness
00:35:08right to the face
00:35:10of captain Sean Dean
00:35:12oh smart wrestling there by Manny
00:35:14there's been some intense
00:35:16wrestling
00:35:18by the kingdom maybe that quick start
00:35:20but I appreciate the fact
00:35:22that this match has largely stayed
00:35:24within the rules at this point
00:35:26and if you stay within the rules
00:35:28it's going to be a great match because you have
00:35:30great athletes in the indisputed kingdom
00:35:32the frustrating thing is Ricker finding that
00:35:34great athletes whether they cheat
00:35:36or they don't and it's frustrating when they do
00:35:38so I understand your frustration
00:35:40tag made
00:35:42I think that's where Paul White was coming from
00:35:44you heard him during Battle of the Belts
00:35:46oh look at this great combination
00:35:48and a set up anchor
00:35:50hooks the leg
00:35:52two count
00:35:54I'll tell you what
00:35:56Dean was fighting out of there for a long time
00:35:58Taven had to adjust the pin
00:36:00and Dean continued to fight
00:36:02but Taven staying on him
00:36:04every time Taven pulls that arm he's trying to
00:36:06put a body in between the two and cut him off
00:36:08look at the side version leg sweep
00:36:10gets it
00:36:12nice float over by Taven
00:36:14and that is one of the moves that he uses
00:36:16to loosen up his opponents for the climax
00:36:18absolutely
00:36:20a move he retained the world title with
00:36:22on many occasions
00:36:24he should have worried
00:36:26Carly Bravo for his partner
00:36:28realizing that Sean Dean is in a lot of trouble
00:36:30oh now come on
00:36:32oh geez
00:36:34and my father served in the U.S. Navy
00:36:36that is incredible
00:36:38amounts of disrespect there
00:36:40definitely trying to get under the skin of the infantry
00:36:42and is working not only for the infantry
00:36:44but for the people here in the esports arena
00:36:46off the ropes
00:36:48and it is Bennett
00:36:52full head of steam
00:36:54oh come on
00:37:00Bennett enjoying himself here
00:37:02and even though he didn't like much
00:37:04and he poked to the eyes man
00:37:06keeps you from defending yourself
00:37:08because you don't know where the strikes are coming from
00:37:10you don't know what's happening to you
00:37:12and it is Taven now
00:37:14sending the captain into Mike Bennett
00:37:16purple thunder cover
00:37:18two
00:37:20two count on that
00:37:22all these impacts that Matt Taven is making
00:37:24going straight to the neck
00:37:26going straight to the back area
00:37:28and you're right
00:37:30setting him up for the pro time
00:37:32setting him up for the climax
00:37:34this is what the undisputed kingdom
00:37:36does so well
00:37:38and that's sticking with the game plan
00:37:40and the captain back down
00:37:42his chinlock really being wrenched
00:37:44and you see the body weight, the pressure being applied by Taven
00:37:46right on the neck of Sean Dean
00:37:48man it's all elementary
00:37:50from here dear Watson
00:37:52and you see again
00:37:54that tight grip
00:37:56continues to wrench in
00:37:58now deep Taven has it
00:38:00Taven is able to put pressure on Dean and recover at the same time
00:38:02able to get his breath
00:38:04Dean trying to fight to his feet
00:38:06has a long way to go though
00:38:08and a body to get through if he wants to make the tag
00:38:10spinning kick catches
00:38:12Dean and the tag is made
00:38:14to Bennett
00:38:16Bennett now cover
00:38:18and that is the arrogance of Mike Bennett
00:38:20that's Dean knowing where he is
00:38:22grabbing the rope
00:38:24you don't see that much but that's desperation
00:38:26right there out of Sean Dean
00:38:28trying to stay alive in this match
00:38:30oh come on
00:38:32Mike
00:38:36the captain here
00:38:38and
00:38:40big forearm connects
00:38:42Sean Dean gave it everything
00:38:44he got with that forearm
00:38:46but Bennett still slightly in front of him
00:38:48coming off the angle to the tag
00:38:50Bennett's gonna hold on to Dean and try to make a tag
00:38:52but he doesn't want Dean to make a tag
00:38:54and separation
00:38:56Taven
00:38:58and it's
00:39:00Taven pushed away
00:39:02Dean trying again
00:39:04and it's Bennett who clears the deck
00:39:06oh bravo
00:39:08no one home
00:39:10double clothesline
00:39:14Dean got a lot of fight left in him
00:39:16but you saw that tag team cohesiveness right there
00:39:18of the Undisputed King of Warping
00:39:20you gotta keep Dean inside the ring
00:39:22and as long as you got that body in between the two
00:39:24there's a lot of work for Dean to do
00:39:26no body in between
00:39:28you gotta tag and Taven can tag
00:39:30Matt Taven coming in here
00:39:34gonna grab a front face lock here
00:39:36on the captain
00:39:38trying to suplex him back into the corner of the Undisputed King

00:54:24This might be the strongest coat of honor we've ever seen.
00:54:27Come on, that might have been a bad mistake right there.
00:54:31Yeah, here we go, here's the real deal, yeah.
00:54:35The Outrunners.
00:54:38You heard that.
00:54:39Well, we heard Paul White, I mean, you don't follow the coat of honor.
00:54:44There's consequences for that.
00:54:46Yeah, Stephen Wolfe laughing it off, but he don't realize Truth Magnum don't lie.
00:54:50And fans, the Outrunners, they look like action figures.
00:54:53Reminder, the Frisco's available now as his future shot.
00:54:56Kenny Omega, Claudio Castagnoli, and so many more from our friends at Jazz Wars.
00:55:00Oh, look at that, the snarl.
00:55:03Truth Magnum now in the corner, going to the hair.
00:55:06Interesting move.
00:55:09Swing and a miss there.
00:55:11Open hand.
00:55:15Across the chest.
00:55:16Barrett teased, Stephen Wolfe is rethinking things now.
00:55:20A little heavy hand to Truth Magnum.
00:55:22No, Barrett Brown's killing it, too.
00:55:24My goodness.
00:55:27Part of the straight dog army.
00:55:30Here, tag made, it is Turbo Floyd.
00:55:35And the Outrunners, look at this, popping up the guns.
00:55:39Wow, look at the peak on that.
00:55:41A big elbow.
00:55:43Elbow right to the deltoids of Barrett Brown.
00:55:46Tag made.
00:55:48Back to Stephen Wolfe, who took some punishment at the hands of Truth Magnum.
00:55:54Another pose in, I love it.
00:55:56I love the showmanship.
00:55:57You got to stay on your opponents, though.
00:56:00Big back elbow.
00:56:01Turbo, you son of a bitch.
00:56:03Oh, yeah.
00:56:06Oh, Carl Weathers.
00:56:08And Arnold Schwarzenegger.
00:56:10That elbow drop like they're taking out a predator in the jungle.
00:56:14But it just took out a wolf.
00:56:17Taking out a straight dog.
00:56:20And Barrett Brown, front face lock here.
00:56:25Oh, super save, yeah.
00:56:29Waist lock.
00:56:32And Truth Magnum.
00:56:35And big double drop hits.
00:56:41And it is Barrett Brown in big trouble.
00:56:46Oh, the recall.
00:56:48That's enough.
00:56:49Cover, two, that's it.
00:56:53The winners of this match, The Outrunners.
00:56:57Hey, look at this.
00:56:59The joy of victory.

00:57:50That's awesome.
00:57:51I'm super excited.
00:57:52But you said cake, you said balloons.
00:57:54If I'm being honest,
00:57:55I think it's something worth dancing about.
00:57:57Oh, babe, no.
00:57:59We don't need to dance.
00:58:00It's not my first ride yet.

00:58:48Former IWGP junior heavyweight champion, Robbie Eagles
00:58:53in the house, representing TMDK.
00:58:57The Mighty Don't Kneel.
00:59:00The Aussie star.
00:59:01We've seen him before here in Ring of Honor.
00:59:03Always impressive.
00:59:06His opponent, Darion Bankston.
00:59:09Darion Bankston, a bright future ahead.
00:59:12What a goal it would be if Darion could pick up a win
00:59:14against such an established, internationally known competitor
00:59:17like Robbie Eagles.
00:59:22Our referee, Brandon Martinez, calling for the Code of Honor.
00:59:26Code of Honor adhered to.
00:59:28I've known Robbie Eagles for many years, man.
00:59:31Always been impressive.
00:59:33He's found his stride.
00:59:35Been impressive all over the world.
00:59:37Now here in the United States, man,
00:59:39it's an honor to have him here at Ring of Honor.
00:59:43Taking on Lord Darion Bankston.
00:59:47The fight forever keeps getting better and better

00:59:50You can now play as Jay White, Adam Copeland,
00:59:52and former Ring of Honor world champion Samoa Joe,
00:59:54available now in season four.
00:59:56Man, Robbie Eagles, a tremendous high flyer,
00:59:58but what sets him apart is he's a great technical wrestler.
01:00:02There's a lot of guys that can fly, have striking moves,
01:00:04and very impressive, but it's the stuff in between
01:00:06that makes him a star, and that's what makes
01:00:08Robbie Eagles a star right here.
01:00:10It's the wrestling that he's able to apply,
01:00:12putting the game plan together to beat his opponents.
01:00:17Picking up five wins in the 2024 Best of Super Juniors,
01:00:20but not afraid to fight up in weight class
01:00:23against Bankston here.
01:00:24Look at that.
01:00:25Nice inside ankle pick and an alley-oop of the leg.
01:00:30And you got to know who you're in there with.
01:00:32Yeah.
01:00:33You're in there with a sniper disguise.
01:00:35Oh, wait a minute.
01:00:36Okay.
01:00:38Bankston.
01:00:40Wow.
01:00:41Nice float over by Bankston.
01:00:44I like it.
01:00:45Beautiful lucha side headlock takeover there.
01:00:47Sometimes all you need is that opportunity to show the world
01:00:49who you are.
01:00:50Whoops.
01:00:51One count there.
01:00:52Didn't want to talk over that count.
01:00:53Man, any count can be the win,
01:00:56especially a big win for Bankston here, Braxton here.
01:01:00And up and out and through.
01:01:03Robbie Eagles may have been caught a little off guard here.
01:01:06Double wristlock takeover from the flying position,
01:01:08up and over.
01:01:09It is Eagles.
01:01:10Whoa.
01:01:12Tell you what, Bankston didn't know where to hit him right there.
01:01:14Robbie Eagles.
01:01:15Oh, gosh.
01:01:16Little kick there.
01:01:18Up and kip-up for the TMDK member.
01:01:22Of course, that group is so powerful right now.
01:01:25New Japan includes Mikey Nichols, Shane Haste, Zack Sabre Jr.
01:01:30There you go.
01:01:33Wow.
01:01:34Look at that.
01:01:38Oh.
01:01:40Darian not staying down, man.
01:01:41Bankston with another slap.
01:01:43Got a high up on the chest and the breastplate.
01:01:45Oh, those big hands, too.
01:01:47Showing a lot of heart right here is Darian.
01:01:49Got to take it right.
01:01:50That's what I mean, the sniper of the skies, man.
01:01:53He finds those focal points.
01:01:55And stack.
01:01:56Two.
01:01:57Don't forget they call him the limp reaper.
01:01:58And look at that.
01:01:59Nice knee bar here.
01:02:02And what a deadly combination to have,
01:02:04someone that can hit you from all angles, man.
01:02:06He can submit you, strike you from all over.
01:02:09He can rustle you away.
01:02:11He's multi-talented in so many areas of the sport.
01:02:14Flying knees there.
01:02:16Versatile.
01:02:18Wow.
01:02:19Look at that.
01:02:20Sweeping the legs out.
01:02:23And it's in.
01:02:24Oh, my goodness.
01:02:26And that has rocked the bells.
01:02:29Darian Bankston cover.
01:02:30Two.
01:02:32Good result here.
01:02:35Maybe almost on instinct kicking out.
01:02:37And when you're a guy like Bankston,
01:02:39this is the opportunity of a lifetime against this huge new Japan star.
01:02:42Yeah.
01:02:43To come in and try to pick up a victory.
01:02:46But has that leg trap.
01:02:48Maybe looking for the Ron Miller special here.
01:02:50The little things that Robbie Eagles does,
01:02:52like they're keeping that ankle in place.
01:02:54Even while he's taunting the crowd,
01:02:56he has his opponent in a position where they can't do anything.
01:02:59Oh, he wants the crowd to go on this journey with him here.
01:03:03Yeah, indeed looking for the Ron Miller special.
01:03:05But it's Bankston.
01:03:08Oh, and he wants another.
01:03:09Oh, got popped in the jaw, though.
01:03:11Be careful what you wish for.
01:03:12There you go.
01:03:13He asked for it and he got it.
01:03:14See, Darian Wright doesn't limp him, though.
01:03:16Still fighting.
01:03:17Shots to the midsection.
01:03:19Bankston choosing his shots, man.
01:03:20I like that.
01:03:21Not just throwing them, he's choosing them.
01:03:23Excellent showing here from Bankston.
01:03:24Yeah.
01:03:25Fighting back, fighting through.
01:03:27Lloyd Bankston trying to make him kneel.
01:03:31And for the sickle leg, got it.
01:03:33Oh, a hamstring.
01:03:35Point of the boot.
01:03:37The involuntary movement.
01:03:39Pins and needles throughout the toes, the legs.
01:03:41Stepping through.
01:03:42Could it be?
01:03:43Oh, again.
01:03:44Counters the Ron Miller special.
01:03:47Robbie Eagle still trying for it, though.
01:03:49But you see Bankston giving everything he's got.
01:03:51Nice.
01:03:52Whoa.
01:03:53Back stack.
01:03:54Two.
01:03:55Two-cap there.
01:03:56Staying with it.
01:03:57Rising.
01:03:58Oh, wait a minute.
01:03:59Two.
01:04:01Bankston showing us a lot here.
01:04:03Oh, got to the knee again.
01:04:05Right back to that target, man.
01:04:06I tell you, Robbie Eagles, man, he finds the targets.
01:04:08He keeps going back to them.
01:04:10It's like little investments Robbie makes in your body.
01:04:12Oh, step forward.
01:04:14Love it.
01:04:16I like Bankston.
01:04:18Big showing here.
01:04:19Surround.
01:04:20Caught.
01:04:21Uh-oh.
01:04:22Whoa.
01:04:24Man, thinking outside the box is Robbie Eagles.
01:04:28And now he's going up to the top.
01:04:30Very dangerous from the sky.
01:04:32And he doesn't miss, Riccoboni.
01:04:34All the way up top for 50.
01:04:37On the leg.
01:04:38And stepping through.
01:04:40Ron Miller coming in.
01:04:41Yes, indeed.
01:04:42Ron Miller special.
01:04:43Can he lock it in?
01:04:45No.
01:04:46It's in.
01:04:47Oh, the pressure's in.
01:04:48It's a magical.
01:04:50The winner of this match by submission, Robbie Eagles.
01:04:54Stretching the quad out, bending the knees.
01:04:57Tell you what, man, it's very impressive.
01:04:59I'm always impressed by Robbie Eagles.
01:05:01Great show by Bankston.
01:05:03Absolutely tremendous showing by Robbie Eagles.
01:05:06Demonstrating why he is one of the best in the world.
01:05:09So glad to see him.
01:05:12And he's saying the ROH ring is his ring.

01:06:56Neese.
01:07:00Now folks, recently, in this
01:07:02very building you witnessed
01:07:04a wrestling
01:07:06travesty.
01:07:08When the conglomeration
01:07:10cheated and stole victory from my athletes but I have three pieces of good
01:07:21news for you people today number one I am currently working with the Texas
01:07:31Athletic Commission to have that match thrown out which keeps my athletes
01:07:38undefeated in 2024 what number two I have worked very hard to keep the entire
01:07:51conglomeration barred from ringside while Tony Nese takes on their worst
01:08:00offender which keeps this match one-on-one with no shenanigans yeah
01:08:10right and number three the most important piece of good news you people
01:08:15once again get to witness tonight what it looks like when a real premier
01:08:23athlete goes to work Tony Nese one of the great technical wrestling stars he
01:08:30will need every tool in the toolbox you hear the sirens indicative of the former
01:08:36ring of honor world television champion the conglomeration zone stone pitbull
01:08:46one of the great never open weight champions in New Japan as well here it
01:08:52comes
01:08:57Japan
01:09:0020 pounds he is representing the conglomeration, the stone pitbull, Tomohiro Ishii
01:09:12recently on collision Mark Sterling referencing that earlier the premier
01:09:18athletes the conglomeration went to war claiming Ishii's the worst offender
01:09:26Sterling man out with his with his people he he wants to throw matches out
01:09:31the window and keep wrestlers from wrestling that's not a way to keep
01:09:34your opponents better well and he I went to a Texas Ranger game down here in
01:09:38Arlington and then he asked why I didn't invite him do you remember when he he
01:09:42posed that litigation to try and get us off the air for saying something
01:09:45slightly negative about the premier athletes his offense is always to get
01:09:49rid of people as the outstretched hand of Tony Nese he needs to get rid of
01:09:57whoever taught him to dye his beard and not the rest of his hair let's get the
01:10:00action yeah Kodama and maybe a lightweight barrier we see that from
01:10:03time to time Tomohiro Ishii though that's stone pitbull
01:10:09open hand former TV champ Ishii just ate that Tony's not used to people eating
01:10:16his blows open hand that's a stone pitbull man that's not a nickname he
01:10:22came up with either Tony couldn't stand up there to try to goodness make your
01:10:37knees just go out from under you Wow just with the Bonnie and how do you
01:10:42prepare for easy that low center of gravity the suplexes the strikes
01:10:45everything about him yeah the only thing you can try to do is stay away
01:10:49from and try not to be in his face and try to work on angles but it's hard to
01:10:53do with somebody that doesn't take damage well at all
01:10:56I mean if you could hit him and it's like it doesn't bother him it doesn't
01:10:59faze him it just absorbs everything
01:11:04coming closer to you what would you do if you're in a fight every time you hit
01:11:09Oh it wears you down mentally and physically I'd run makes you unsure
01:11:16about yourself I'd call my mom
01:11:20as you said a lot real fast like
01:11:29to the level of the battle-tested oh goodness
01:11:38that came out your mouth before that's all I'll say maybe it's tough but not

01:17:28but over that time I will say
01:17:30people are right, you do get to step back
01:17:32reflect, get better and guess what
01:17:34I think I've done both of those things
01:17:36I think I have, so I became
01:17:38Rachel Rampage for a night, it was great
01:17:40then wore flannel on collision

01:20:56Johnny T.V.
01:20:58Johnny T.V.
01:21:00selectively adhered to the coat of honor
01:21:02if you think back to that feud against Salton Castle
01:21:06I love watching Johnny T.V.
01:21:08against different people
01:21:10especially Luchador
01:21:14he pulls out the best of all of them
01:21:16Johnny T.V. is a veteran
01:21:18that has been able to hold onto
01:21:20his health and his body
01:21:22makes him a very dangerous man
01:21:24you know, don't let the veneer
01:21:26of the competition fool you
01:21:28you know, the sequined outfits
01:21:30or the beautiful coats, Johnny T.V.
01:21:32in the gym pretty much 24-7
01:21:34watching everything he eats
01:21:36student of the game, prepares for his opponents
01:21:38Fuego del Sol
01:21:40on that same trajectory
01:21:42Hurricanrana plants Johnny T.V.
01:21:44like a time in Fuego
01:21:48doesn't waste any time
01:21:50comes right at you
01:21:52and now charging in, it's Fuego del Sol
01:21:54big forearm
01:21:56didn't even let Johnny get to his feet before
01:21:58Fuego was on his way, that's the way he has to do it
01:22:02and you know what?
01:22:04smart move
01:22:06to take out, wait a second
01:22:08for the end here
01:22:10starts your pain counter, roll through
01:22:12it is Johnny T.V. charging in
01:22:14out of the way, Fuego del Sol now
01:22:16swing and a miss, connects with the forearm
01:22:18but it is Taya Valkyrie
01:22:20behind the referee's back
01:22:22Aubrey Edwards did not see that
01:22:26Fuego felt every bit of that knee
01:22:28oh my god
01:22:30tried to save himself, could not
01:22:32and now it is Johnny T.V.
01:22:34who lands that shining wizard
01:22:36on a trapped Fuego del Sol
01:22:38watch this neck breaker
01:22:40oh my god, outside the ring
01:22:42no give there, you can see
01:22:46dim padding
01:22:48oh now
01:22:50over the top of the front
01:22:52what is this
01:22:54now what other couples do you know
01:22:56do that
01:23:00I ain't got nothing against licking
01:23:02but the sweat was what I had a problem with
01:23:04love me, love me, but they do this on TV
01:23:06that's all I'm saying
01:23:10Johnny T.V.
01:23:12has Fuego in, leg hook
01:23:14two
01:23:16and now mounting Fuego del Sol
01:23:18here, that's the thing about Johnny
01:23:20this is veteran, seeing people like this before the count
01:23:22elbows that he's throwing in, transition
01:23:24elbows in place
01:23:26and barring that arm
01:23:28he's neutralizing Fuego here
01:23:30and this chin lock here
01:23:32nice tight grip, those bulging
01:23:34biceps, trying to get under the jaw
01:23:36Fuego doing a great job of tucking that chin
01:23:38so that arm cannot get under
01:23:40and constrict the neck
01:23:43as the shots into the midsection
01:23:45fire away, oh kick
01:23:47downstairs
01:23:49wow, the cartwheel powerbomb
01:23:51yeah, looking for it, Fuego may have known it's coming
01:23:53but there's
01:23:55and again
01:23:57the struggle leads to
01:23:59the audible there, cover, two
01:24:01and that's a great offensive move by Johnny T.V.
01:24:03Caprice walked us through that, because he was looking
01:24:05for the powerbomb, could tell Fuego almost got out of it
01:24:07went for the knee instead
01:24:09Fuego continues to move, he's hard to put in one place
01:24:11he's moving, he's shifting
01:24:13and the balance that Johnny has man, able to
01:24:15move with that balance and change up
01:24:17what he had in mind and still land an impactful
01:24:19move and now he has Fuego down
01:24:21and driving the air out of him, trying to bring out
01:24:23the condition and trying to make him
01:24:25lose his energy so he can work more on him
01:24:27you can see and hear
01:24:29Taya Valkyrie on the outside
01:24:31but the fans trying to rally behind
01:24:33Fuego here
01:24:35wearing him down is what the veteran is doing
01:24:37and when you see Johnny wearing somebody down
01:24:39that person has a lot of energy
01:24:41because normally somebody trying to wear Johnny down
01:24:43nice chin breaker there
01:24:45absolutely, Fuego back to his feet now
01:24:47flips around
01:24:49up the ladder and to Gary
01:24:55going to the corner
01:24:59getting the momentum in mind
01:25:01and Fuego, big drop kick
01:25:03there, almost come on in a fireball
01:25:05and charging
01:25:07another drop kick
01:25:11and Fuego Del Sol now
01:25:13looking for the Irish whip, Johnny TV with the counter
01:25:15springboard, caught him
01:25:17Fuego popping back up
01:25:19and kicked, got a shot
01:25:21and cover
01:25:232-0
01:25:25I tell you that offense works well when you put it together
01:25:27well and that worked out well for Fuego
01:25:31looking around now, wants to know what to do next
01:25:33sitting there with a great athlete
01:25:35anybody can win this
01:25:37Johnny's in a lot of trouble
01:25:39and knocking
01:25:41on the door, kicked in the midsection there
01:25:43going for that neck breaker again
01:25:45and looking to roll
01:25:47through, oh blocked
01:25:49kick caught
01:25:51wow, look at that Johnny TV
01:25:53nice counter to the trap pin
01:25:552-0
01:25:57so many things Johnny
01:25:59does well
01:26:01and around
01:26:03wow
01:26:07now perched in the corner
01:26:09short time when you perched somebody like Fuego
01:26:11up there because they live on the ropes
01:26:13so whatever Johnny needs to do
01:26:15he needs to do it fast before Fuego
01:26:17finds his footing
01:26:19and legs spun out, it's Johnny TV
01:26:21now, it's Fuego, believe it or not
01:26:23has a better base now with all the things he has to hold on to
01:26:25so Johnny has to move fast
01:26:27all the way up top
01:26:29and you're absolutely right Caprice
01:26:31Fuego has to get some juice on those shots
01:26:33to the midsection
01:26:35sometimes you can trap yourself there
01:26:37move fast, you can't put somebody that short
01:26:39foot on the ropes and expect them to stay there
01:26:41well the family planning
01:26:43of Johnny and Taya may have taken a different
01:26:45direction after that
01:26:47oh goodness
01:26:49that's Fuego
01:26:512-0
01:26:55Tornado
01:26:57we've seen it before
01:26:59we've seen it before
01:27:01don't say it out loud though
01:27:03yeah, he let you in the ring with
01:27:05he let Johnny TV know it was coming
01:27:07uh oh

01:29:49Lexi Mair as the special guest
01:29:51at the ring announcer
01:29:53after what we saw
01:29:55in the world title match

01:30:03the kitchen is the royal dish
01:30:05the queen's kitchen
01:30:07look at that Red Velvet
01:30:09stirring things up here tonight
01:30:11in Arlington
01:30:13look at the matching gear
01:30:15they look fantastic
01:30:17this is unity
01:30:19these are two women on the same page
01:30:21the same mission to take down
01:30:23the empire
01:30:25that the greatest Ring of Honor
01:30:27Women's World Champion has
01:30:29built brick by brick
01:30:33event by event
01:30:35and their opponents introducing first
01:30:39Billie Starks
01:30:41and your Ring of Honor
01:30:43Women's World Champion
01:30:45Athena
01:30:49can I just point something out
01:30:51there was
01:30:53a tremendous
01:30:55dip in enthusiasm
01:30:57for the name Billie Starks
01:30:59at the scrum
01:31:01Athena and
01:31:03Lexi Mair talking down to Billie Starks
01:31:05and now Billie Starks
01:31:07in full matching gear
01:31:09to the world champion
01:31:11I thought Billie Starks had an incredible
01:31:13rise to the world television title
01:31:15I thought she was becoming
01:31:17her own woman
01:31:21she learned so much
01:31:23from Athena and continues
01:31:25to benefit but
01:31:27I was not hoping
01:31:31and even just a little
01:31:33almost lethargic movement
01:31:35and that is not the energy
01:31:37that Red Velvet on the left, Queen Aminata on the right
01:31:39have
01:31:41something different, maybe something deflated
01:31:43from Billie Starks who looks so
01:31:45confident for so long
01:31:47well Riccoboni you got to understand
01:31:49you held a championship for so long
01:31:51and then when you lose a championship you also know
01:31:53that's working against you as well
01:31:55and Aminata
01:31:57confident
01:31:59that she can beat Athena
01:32:01Athena knows Aminata is behind her
01:32:03and the bell rings, we are off here
01:32:05this main event tag team bout
01:32:07yeah
01:32:09tag made
01:32:11this is frustration man, making Billie Starks
01:32:13get in there
01:32:15against Queen Aminata
01:32:17these two met the
01:32:19original championship
01:32:21decided, this is where it all started
01:32:23yes indeed, the ring of honor
01:32:25women's world television title at the
01:32:27ruling finals of that 16 women tournament
01:32:2916 of the best female
01:32:31competitors, female stars in the world met
01:32:33and these were the two that made it all
01:32:35the way to the very end
01:32:37and then it was Billie Starks
01:32:39feigning that neck injury
01:32:41oh wait a minute, look at the cross arm bar here
01:32:43and no love
01:32:45lost between these two, I'm sure Aminata would love
01:32:47to get some revenge here
01:32:49Aminata staying on top of Billie Starks
01:32:51whoa
01:32:53Billie Starks tried to do the same
01:32:55thing with her match against
01:32:57Vale but it didn't work
01:32:59that rolling through Billie Starks inside
01:33:01ankle pick there
01:33:03don't take away, Billie Starks is a great wrestler
01:33:05I'm not trying to find a footing here
01:33:07pushing off
01:33:09front face lock with a hammer
01:33:11lock, now looking for the suplex
01:33:13it's Aminata, it's a cradle for Billie Starks
01:33:15that's what I mean about
01:33:17Billie Starks, she's a great
01:33:19wrestler, it's just the tutelage
01:33:21that she has
01:33:23let's put that dirt under the fingernails
01:33:25but I tell you what, the queen is amazing
01:33:27certainly is
01:33:29it's Aminata, big kick there
01:33:31delivers across the chest
01:33:33of the youngest champion to hold a
01:33:35women's title in ring over there
01:33:37hip attack
01:33:41and Starks struggling up in the corner
01:33:43and there's something different here
01:33:45about Starks
01:33:47something a little more dejected tag made
01:33:49gonna need to get that energy up
01:33:51Aminata in red velvet
01:33:53and now Athena
01:33:55in her, Athena prancing
01:33:57absolutely, and that ankle's fine by the way
01:33:59that's what I was saying, when you're prancing
01:34:01with an ankle that was broken
01:34:03that prancing would be a little different
01:34:05Irish whip now, off the ropes
01:34:07ooh, big boot there
01:34:09tag made red velvet and the two champs
01:34:11the two standard bearers now
01:34:13Aminata to velvet
01:34:15Aminata
01:34:17and red velvet with a beautiful
01:34:19standing moonsault, oops a leg, cover two
01:34:21man, that was cohesive
01:34:23collectiveness right there
01:34:25you can't buy chemistry with the bonding
01:34:27velvet and Aminata working well together
01:34:29in great timing as well
01:34:31blacked out in the corner
01:34:33body shot
01:34:35the family lineage
01:34:37the heritage
01:34:39olympic boxing father of
01:34:41red velvet
01:34:43yeah those fists don't miss
01:34:45and a former world champion
01:34:47uncle tag made
01:34:49oh look at that now going
01:34:51to the outside
01:34:53the world champion now
01:34:55over 600 days
01:34:57as the ring of honor women's world champion
01:34:59set up, wow
01:35:01and Athena
01:35:03making the tag here, Billy Starks
01:35:07and you saw Athena just holding
01:35:09Aminata into place
01:35:11so many things, Athena just knows
01:35:13what to do, there's a reason why she's been champion
01:35:15for over 600 days
01:35:17and now the energy level coming up, you see Starks
01:35:19a little bit, oh come on
01:35:21and look at that, looking directly
01:35:23into the camera as she gnaws on the paw
01:35:25that's what I'm saying, sometimes that attitude
01:35:27brings you down because of a loss you've taken
01:35:29and right when you get back in the winning groove
01:35:31the attitude comes back, I didn't want
01:35:33to read too much into what was going on with
01:35:35Billy Starks, tag made
01:35:37young people have high emotions
01:35:39with the bonding, and that emotional intelligence
01:35:41is what's kept Athena at the top of the
01:35:43mountain
01:35:45she's queen, she's always
01:35:47at the top, as Athena
01:35:49here, oh look at this
01:35:51and trailing only Samoa Joe
01:35:53and his record breaking
01:35:55men's reign, Athena
01:35:57well on target
01:35:59to become the longest reigning
01:36:01tag made champion in the history of
01:36:03Ring of Honor, and think about
01:36:05that, and not only that
01:36:07but building a legacy for the future
01:36:09of Billy Starks
01:36:11building a legacy, and not only just
01:36:13the amount of days, but the amount of wins
01:36:15this is a champion
01:36:17that shows up, whether you
01:36:19like Athena or not, Athena
01:36:21shows up and wins, and crew
01:36:23proven ground matches, and championship matches
01:36:25over 60 title defenses
01:36:27it's incredible
01:36:29defending an outside of Ring of Honor as well
01:36:31and you've seen titles being
01:36:33lost in CMLL, no title is safe
01:36:35when you go outside to defend it
01:36:37swing and a miss there on the leg drop
01:36:39Amanata trying to get some blood flow
01:36:41in that elbow, that forearm
01:36:43delivering with the right forearm
01:36:45connects on the world champion
01:36:47looking to make a tag to the world television
01:36:49champion, so close but so far away
01:36:51Athena keeping control
01:36:53drops that shoulder in, hooks the leg
01:36:55stack, just a one
01:36:57count there, Athena needs to put a body in space
01:36:59in between Amanata
01:37:01there you go
01:37:03tag made Billy Starks, good instinctual
01:37:05tag by Starks, on the same page
01:37:07are Starks and Athena, I tell you
01:37:09Athena's been guiding the ship too
01:37:11telling Starks what to do in this tag team match
01:37:13being a great tag team coach here
01:37:15slamming that wrist, wow
01:37:17that's how you pick the body part right there
01:37:19driving it down
01:37:21oh, shot to the midsection
01:37:23Amanata not staying still
01:37:25but it's Starks
01:37:27continuing
01:37:29now in the
01:37:31corner, tag made
01:37:33it is Athena
01:37:37coming in with a smile, knowing
01:37:39that Amanata's at home
01:37:41position, oh and separation
01:37:43forearm
01:37:45and another
01:37:47oh, here's Arlington coming together
01:37:49for Amanata, and Starks trying to grab
01:37:51Amanata
01:37:53snap suplex
01:37:55snap suplex has come so
01:37:57fast, and she moved
01:37:59Athena closer to Starks, but she had to
01:38:01get herself closer to the world
01:38:03television champion, Red Velvet
01:38:05Amanata just needs to make a tag
01:38:07just needs to get in, and Red Velvet's ready for it
01:38:09Starks blowing
01:38:11through the stop sign by Posey
01:38:13oh, now here we go
01:38:15Red Velvet by Posey, oh, come
01:38:17on, Posey doing his job
01:38:19but I tell you what the timing on that is
01:38:21giving Starks and
01:38:23Athena enough time
01:38:25to put more damage on Amanata
01:38:27as Athena now
01:38:31has mounted with that top
01:38:33double wrist lock
01:38:35on Amanata
01:38:37Amanata on the bad side
01:38:39of town, Rick Obani, this is the perfect
01:38:41game plan by Athena and Billy
01:38:43Starks, Amanata now trying to
01:38:45get back, big knee
01:38:47through the chest there
01:38:49down to
01:38:51one knee is Amanata, tag made
01:38:53I tell you, Athena might be the greatest
01:38:55women wrestler, women wrestler
01:38:57in the world, Rick Obani, I would have to
01:38:59agree with that as, oh
01:39:01it's either her or Toni Storm
01:39:03as Amanata
01:39:05on hand and knee
01:39:07trying to make the tag
01:39:09trying to get some movement in that arm
01:39:11trying to do anything she can
01:39:13to get her partner Red Velvet in
01:39:15Starks wants to tag, so Athena
01:39:17Athena's in, here comes Red Velvet
01:39:19big close eyes
01:39:21hitting the world champion down
01:39:23the world television champion
01:39:25Cass Sun, whoa
01:39:27go right into the roll-up roll
01:39:29through, swing, and catches
01:39:31stirring it up on Athena
01:39:33oh, the double knee
01:39:37and look at the world TV champ
01:39:39it is Red Velvet
01:39:41whoa, goodness
01:39:43spiked the champion on her head
01:39:45could be, oh
01:39:47Athena's so smart, getting to the corner
01:39:49that's what I mean, that Athena is so
01:39:51smart, tags right
01:39:53out, oh look at this, these two
01:39:55bad blood coming to
01:39:57a boil, no wrestling here, straight
01:39:59to the fisticuff
01:40:01and Red Velvet, shotgun
01:40:03dropkick
01:40:05Billy Starks grabbing that shoulder
01:40:07oh, maybe
01:40:09looking for mama's recipe, no
01:40:11Billy Starks is biting
01:40:13talking about
01:40:15uncharacteristic, well
01:40:17tag made, over time
01:40:19we've come to expect the unexpected from
01:40:21Billy Starks, oh wait a minute, what is
01:40:23this, knee, German
01:40:25suplex, told you man
01:40:27it's a great team here by the queen
01:40:29oh, oh, with Sugar Head
01:40:31and don't
01:40:33fall for it, cross the finish line
01:40:35show no remorse here
01:40:37cover, two
01:40:39oh
01:40:41and that was the move Caprice
01:40:43that set up
01:40:45you gotta stay on Billy Starks
01:40:47you gotta stay on, the feigning of the
01:40:49neck injury back at Supercard
01:40:51I am glad that Aminata
01:40:53pushed through, it's one thing to have
01:40:55sympathy, it's one thing to listen to
01:40:57the referee, but it's another to cost
01:40:59yourself the big bucks, the championship belts
01:41:01you see Aminata and Red Velvet
01:41:03both of them showed the strength to
01:41:05stay away from the opponent
01:41:07when they thought the opponent was hurt
01:41:09even in the match with Red Velvet
01:41:11Red Velvet gave Billy Starks time to recover
01:41:13even though she was playing
01:41:15but Red Velvet was ready for it
01:41:17to win the championship, absolutely
01:41:19and you know we can't rule out
01:41:21things like Stingers, we have a great medical team
01:41:23and they sorted it out as Aminata
01:41:25another tag team move with Tim
01:41:27Starks blocked it
01:41:29tag made
01:41:31neither member of Aminata or Red Velvet knows
01:41:33that Athena is the legal woman, but now they know
01:41:35throwing out these
01:41:37kicks with precision
01:41:39is the falling goddess
01:41:45Athena delivers
01:41:47Irish whip into the
01:41:49corner, stacking up
01:41:51Aminata and Red Velvet
01:41:53and no one home in the corner, catches her foot
01:41:55and does Athena up to the second rope on the inside
01:41:57Athena still in control
01:41:59kickbuster on the knee
01:42:03the world champion
01:42:05and Aminata who battled
01:42:07at death before dishonor
01:42:09and now the world team
01:42:11look at Athena

01:42:25Starks loves that swan dive
01:42:27but Red Velvet trying
01:42:29to figure out where she's at
01:42:31she cannot escape
01:42:33the swan dive, perfect cover
01:42:35to Aminata just in time
01:42:37I tell you what, if Aminata did not break up that pin
01:42:39that might have been it Ricker Bonnie
01:42:41that swan dive was landed with perfection
01:42:43delivered beautifully
01:42:45right through the midsection
01:42:47Athena now sizing up
01:42:49Aminata
01:42:51forearm connects
01:42:53so many of Athena's opponents
01:42:55in short matches
01:42:57and Red Velvet now shot to the midsection
01:42:59off the ropes, it's Red Velvet here
01:43:01around she goes
01:43:03playing for the world champion
01:43:05but it's Billy Starks
01:43:07kick blocked by Velvet
