00:01Drilisiko of LFI gets a shot at becoming the Ring of Honor World Champion.
00:07Bandido, an impassionate desperado.
00:11This is first Ring of Honor World title defense.
00:14Drilisiko goes flying over the top.
00:17Drilisiko trying to remove the mask.
00:20Incredible dropkick by Bandido.
00:22Now he's going to take flight.
00:24Top baits to Encino.
00:25He may not be done here Nigel.
00:27Oh my gosh.
00:29And Bandido calling out to the fans.
00:32Drilisiko up.
00:34Oh, bam.
00:35The title still hangs in the balance.
00:38Oh.
00:39Oh, wow.
00:40Here he comes.
00:4121 blitz.
00:42One, two, three.
00:44Bandido is still the Ring of Honor World Champion.
00:49Bandido, Bandido, Bandido.
00:52Good night.
00:53We go, it's the truth.
00:54Welcome, everyone.
00:55To Ring of Honor Wrestling, congratulations, Bandido on a successful title defense on Play-A-Palooza,
01:01Welcome everyone to Ring of Honor Wrestling, congratulations Bandito on a successful title
01:13defense on Play-Up Palooza, but tonight the Women's World Television title on the line,
01:17Red Velvet defense against La Catalina.
01:19We got the flamboyant fashion boy duo and a man made for TV, fresh out title opportunities
01:25looking to make a cinephode, Johnny TV and Embex Sim in action tonight.
01:29And tonight in the main event, a rivalry renewed as the front houses Griff Garrison and Cole
01:34Carter take on on Helico, Sir PentaCote, SAP.
01:40We got top flights and shooting stars collide, both looking to get back in the title contention.
01:45We get Layla Gray taking on starting zone, me and Sheryl Cowan, and that match starts now.
01:50And what a match it will be.
01:52We will see the mental, the physical state of our first competitor introduced now.
01:58This match, she's set for one fall in a 20-minute time limit.
02:02Introducing first wrestling out of New York City.
02:05She is representing top flight, Layla Gray.
02:11Just announced for the Ring of Honor Women's Pier Championship Tournament, but it was that
02:15Play-Up Palooza on Saturday.
02:17Layla Gray getting involved in top flight versus the crew.
02:20You see Leah Rush, and then it was the Martins.
02:23It was Darius colliding into Layla, spilling to the outside, and then top flight, soul-searching.
02:30Layla Gray, did she have enough?
02:32Was she physically hurt?
02:34What is her state of mind coming into this, Caprice?
02:36You never know, man.
02:37And they're never going to tell the doctor if the doctor don't spawn it out first.
02:40So we just have to see when the match gets started.
02:42Well, it should be a great one here tonight.
02:45You mentioned with history and stardom, and then joining AEW Ring of Honor, we go back
02:50to Bobby Cruz.
02:52Her opponent, wrestling out of Tokyo, Japan, Mina Shirakawa.
03:02Mina Shirakawa, one of the very best in the world.
03:05Here tonight in Ring of Honor, always a great time.
03:09The charisma just oozing out of this stardom star.
03:13Called a stardom for a reason, man.
03:15The entrances, the gear, what they put into, what they have.
03:19They respect the sport so much.
03:21You see Mina Shirakawa coming here.
03:23It has captivated the audience already.
03:26Well, certainly has.
03:28And recently, the fans, they're getting down.
03:32And had a great match against Izumi, a New Japan strong, Windy City Riot.
03:37And that was to become the number one contender for the strong Women's Openweight Championship.
03:43And that resulted in a draw.
03:46But Mina has been taking on some of the top contenders from all over the world, including
03:50Tom Nakano, Micah, representing Empress Nexus Venus with Micah.
03:57So that was a bit of a fun one in Hurricane, where it was two members of the same group.
04:01The same faction battling one another.
04:04I don't think Layla Gray is looking to have any fun tonight unless she's coming off on
04:08the win side.
04:11Well, that's a great point, Caprice.
04:12We love seeing Mina here.
04:13Layla Gray trying to get refocused as she recalibrates for that Women's Pier Championship
04:17tournament.
04:18Of course, Deanna Purrazzo announced last week.
04:20Taya Valkyrie announced last week.
04:23And long announced is AEW Double or Nothing.
04:25Coming to you from Glendale, Arizona, the Desert Diamond Arena live Sunday, May 25th.
04:28Tickets on sale now, AEWTIX.com.
04:32The calendar keeps expanding.
04:34We talked about Double or Nothing last week.
04:37The two great Ring of Honor events coming up.
04:40We have Supercard of Honor.
04:43And then, of course, the return of ROH to the 2300 Arena coming your way.
04:48Oh!
04:48And look at this.
04:52Rolling up, rolling through.
04:54It's Shirakawa.
04:54Ducks the close line.
04:58Mina.
04:59That was mean, Rickabani.
05:01That was...
05:02Whoa!
05:03Nice drop toe hold.
05:05I would dance like that if I could throw a drop toe hold like that as well.
05:08I believe you.
05:12I don't know if the crowd would like it as much, but...
05:16There's Layla.
05:17Nice standing switch here.
05:18These two great athletes.
05:21Wow!
05:21There's maybe preparing for the pure tournament.
05:24Look at that!
05:26Two.
05:26It was great about the women's division here in Ring of Honor.
05:29There's so much opportunity now.
05:30You have the world title, television title, now the pure title.
05:33And everybody's looking to get entitled contention.
05:36So every match means something.
05:38Whoa!
05:40And that is a great point, Caprice.
05:43It's Layla Gray with that running sling blade in the corner.
05:47Wow!
05:48360 running neck break.
05:49I love it.
05:52And Layla Gray celebrating a little bit there.
05:55Leg hook cover.
05:56Two.
05:57She might have got more on that cover if she celebrated a little less.
06:00I think she's realizing that now.
06:02And that's something you can't do to an athlete the caliber of Mina Shirakawa.
06:07We've seen her battles.
06:09Time-tested, battle-tested.
06:14And it is Mina delivering through the chest.
06:18And Layla, wow!
06:20Mina's eating those shots, though.
06:22Look at the great hit solved.
06:23Mina Rishishays on the other side.
06:25Springboard!
06:26Oh, my goodness!
06:29And Mina looking for the cover here, has it?
06:33One count there.
06:34Of course, Mina had that great bout against Mercedes-Money back at Wrestle Dynasty.
06:41Tokyo!
06:42Yeah.
06:42It's high-caliber matches Mina's used to.
06:45It's going to be a good opportunity for Layla Gray to show she belongs in the same matches.
06:50And inside!
06:54Mina's taking apart that leg, man.
06:56This is a focused opportunity here that Mina's taking.
06:58She continues to do it.
06:59She can definitely get a win.
07:00For leg lock-in.
07:02Oh!
07:03Has it sunk in!
07:05Rolling over, getting to the ropes.
07:06And in the pure tournament, Caprice.
07:08That is going to be something that Layla has to watch out for.
07:12And I don't want to cast aspersions on anybody.
07:14It looks like right now, what happened with Top Flight at Playapalooza might be on the mind of Layla Gray right now.
07:21You know what?
07:21I don't know if it's on the mind, but sometimes it could be in the body.
07:25You know, like you said, because she was staring into the corner.
07:27Sometimes you could have a little concussion and not know it.
07:30But you really can't tell, Ricker Bynum.
07:32There's so much going on.
07:33And you have an athlete in the ring that wants to win.
07:36And both are trying to win.
07:37Sometimes you go in 50% just to get a chance at it.
07:42Diving Sling Blade 2!
07:43Diving Sling Blade 2!
07:44Diving Sling Blade 2!
07:44No!
07:45The heart is still there for Layla Gray.
07:52And Mina saying that she senses this could be over.
07:57That's what I thought she said.
07:59Exactly what I thought she said.
08:01Kick to the knee!
08:02Wow!
08:08And the Irish whip into the corner.
08:10Well, I thank you for helping me out last week with understanding what got hands means.
08:16I got you, Ricker Bynum.
08:18Oh, look at this!
08:19I got you.
08:20Nobody has...
08:21Oh, for Mina, though.
08:22Shotgun drop kick!
08:24Starting to sound like Sonny and Cher.
08:26I got you, B.
08:27Yeah.
08:28But Layla might have Mina here.
08:31Butterflies the arms!
08:32Oh, looking for that pile driver.
08:34Double underhook.
08:35Back to that figure four.
08:37Uh-oh.
08:37This is that work paying off.
08:39Center of the ring!
08:39No way to go!
08:41Center of the ring!
08:41The work on his leg the whole time!
08:45Hasn't locked in!
08:46Laser focused!
08:47Tier point Caprice on the knee!
08:49But Layla Gray the whole match!
08:50Yeah, nowhere to go, man.
08:52She either has to turn it over and grab the ropes.
08:55She's had to fight a long ways.
08:57Fighting rotation.
08:58Oh.
08:59And Layla trying to go back and forth to create movement.
09:02Yes.
09:02Getting the roll, but rolling back, unfortunately.
09:05That was rolling for Mina, yeah.
09:06Couldn't get enough!
09:09Layla needed at least one more roll to bridge!
09:11Oh, that's it!
09:13That's it!
09:16The winner of this match, by submission, Mina Shirakawa!
09:22And Mina, victorious here, getting the submission Caprice.
09:31Damn, Layla, very close.
09:33It would have just taken one roll.
09:36One more roll.
09:37It was the right move, and as she prepares for the pure tournament,
09:41it was the right strategy.
09:43Unfortunately, Mina had the reversal scouted,
09:46able to keep it centered in the ring.
09:48Talking right there, you can tell that the big or four leg lock,
09:52the work that Mina Shirakawa put on,
09:54Layla worked perfection.
09:56The respect is still there, though.
09:58Go back and try it again.
09:59Great work from both athletes.
10:01Your winner, Mina Shirakawa.
10:03As the desert sun sets, the stars light up the night.
10:14AW's Double or Nothing!
10:16The event that started it all.
10:18It starts now, and it starts forever.
10:21The brightest stars bring a whole new life.
10:26Double or Nothing, it will be the finals of the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.
10:30Because I want to be in the main event.
10:33I'm all in!
10:34AEW Double or Nothing!
10:40Well, two weeks ago, it was MXM Collection, Johnny TV assaulting Sammy Guevara.
10:47Earlier in the night, MXM Collection and Johnny TV lost their six-man Tag Team Championship opportunity.
10:53We saw MXM, Johnny TV and Dustin Rhodes of the Mount Eriks do battle.
10:58And back into the ring, Blake Christian.
11:00Big shot, Ely Johnson.
11:01Johnny TV crashing the skull of first Dustin Rhodes with the world six-man title belt.
11:07And then Sammy giving up his own body.
11:12Stalking the World Tag Team Champions.
11:15Here tonight, though, the three instigators, the men that delivered that vicious beating, MXM and Johnny TV are here.
11:29The following six-man Tag Team contest is scheduled for one ball with a 20-minute time limit.
11:34Introducing first, the team of Johnny TV and MXM Collection!
11:42Absolutely incredible how three men this good-looking could just be so vicious and violent and bad.
11:49We go back to Argonne.
11:51And their opponents, Rosario Grillo, Cameron Russell, and Alan Russell.
11:58Russell Twins!
11:59Russell Twins in the house!
12:01Oh, do this stuff!
12:03What Johnny TV, what is Johnny TV doing?
12:08I think they're doing whatever they want.
12:10Cameron, red lights on, Rickabine.
12:11You never tell them they're going to do.
12:13That's just, I can't, I wish I could enjoy this like I used to.
12:18They've just done too much.
12:20Assaulting.
12:21That's right.
12:21Blindsiding.
12:22Yeah.
12:22Both the Tag Team Champions, the six-man champions.
12:26Tell them, Rickabine.
12:26I don't care how jacked or shredded they are.
12:28I don't care if they have matinee.
12:30You're leaning, Rickabine.
12:31You're leaning.
12:31Okay, thank you.
12:32The MXM Collection and Johnny TV.
12:37Jeez.
12:38It just, it breaks my heart.
12:42These three men could be the next six-man champs.
12:45You're right.
12:45The talent they have definitely, uh, cohesively could be six-man tag team champions.
12:50Going about it the wrong way.
12:51But definitely getting attention.
12:54Well, speaking of attention, their brand new t-shirts for MXM Collection, Johnny TV, available.
13:02Shop AEW on shophonor.com.
13:03Rosario Grillo going to start with Mansoor.
13:08He wants to tip touch.
13:10And Aubrey, Aubrey allows it.
13:12Code of Honor in here too.
13:13Rosario Grillo going to start things off now.
13:15I don't think he knows what he just did with Zario.
13:18Wait.
13:19Why am I doing this?
13:23Oh, look at that.
13:24The tag made.
13:26Why wouldn't the biggest guy score every time?
13:28And Mason Madden wrestling with his glasses on.
13:32I wonder if those are available.
13:33I don't think he knows he still has them on.
13:35He might forgot he got them on.
13:38I wonder if he could buy those shades at shopaew.com or shophonor.com.
13:42Would you buy them Riccoboni?
13:45Would you buy those shades?
13:46You know my complicated relationship with MXM.
13:48I'm just saying, would you wear those shades, Riccoboni?
13:51I couldn't pull them off like he can.
13:52I'll tell you that much.
13:54Look at this.
13:56Single leg.
13:58Single leg.
13:58Opportunity given.
14:02Wow.
14:04That is a big, big man.
14:05I mean, this Mason Madden, once drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars,
14:10who's the only person in AEW Ring of Honor tag made.
14:16Allen.
14:17And this is Allen Russell.
14:19Yeah.
14:20One half of the Russell twins.
14:22Trained by the Pope.
14:25Black Pope.
14:26Riccoboni.
14:26Oh, I was going to say,
14:27we send our condolences.
14:29Oh, goodness.
14:31But not to Elijah Burke.
14:34One of the great wrestlers.
14:37And Mason Madden.
14:40Just a monster of a man.
14:41I saw that on the way, man.
14:45Like two frying pans to the chest.
14:48And a tag made from the first AEW Ring of Honor wrestler ever drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars
14:56to Johnny TV, a man owned.
14:58Oh, the tip touches his way right out of there.
15:02It's sore.
15:03Staying with those chest chops, man.
15:05One more.
15:07One more.
15:07One more.
15:08One more.
15:08One more.
15:08One more.
15:08One more.
15:09One more.
15:09One more.
15:10One more.
15:10One more.
15:11One more.
15:11One more.
15:12One more.
15:12The pain never really goes away.
15:14It's a burning feeling that just stays with you the rest of the match.
15:18Tips touched again.
15:19And the crazy part is you get it once.
15:21You can go right to the feet, stomping the foot, breaking the toes.
15:24It's as Alan Russell trying to fight out of trouble here.
15:28Tell you what, that Jaguar on is pretty cool.
15:30You know that?
15:31I heard good things.
15:32Yeah.
15:34Thrust to the throat.
15:35Saw they had a pretty good draft last week.
15:37Tips touched again.
15:39And wow.
15:41That tag team cohesiveness cannot be denied with Mansoor Mason Madden.
15:47Yeah.
15:48Wow.
15:49Oh.
15:50Little wrecks in effect there.
15:52All I want to do is zoom, zoom, zoom, and a boom, boom.
15:56Just shake your rope.
15:57Just take your pose.
15:58Oh.
15:59Wow.
16:01I just didn't think Madden's hip glide.
16:04Well, hooked.
16:05Like hooked.
16:06Two.
16:07I think people forget the glute is the physically largest muscle in the human body.
16:12Absolutely.
16:13And it's a definite weapon if you use it right.
16:16Iceman King Parsons just finished with that move.
16:19Oh.
16:19And we have seen competitors like this man's wife, Taya Valkyrie, successfully is the hip attack.
16:25The AEW Women's World Champion, Toni Storm, the same.
16:30Tips touched again.
16:32Tag team seems to get better between Johnny TV and MXM as well.
16:37How often are you seeing tag team moves with one, two.
16:43Normally it's MXM using the tag team cohesives, but now Johnny TV's getting in there.
16:47This team is getting more dangerous every week.
16:51That was a standing straight jacket, total elimination.
16:53Tips touched again, and it's Johnny TV.
16:56Up high.
16:57Oh, he's, look at this.
16:59Look at the balance.
17:02And no one home in the 450 rolls through.
17:04Alan Russell.
17:05Oh, big knee.
17:07Alan needed that knee.
17:09Johnny TV with enough wherewithal to land on his feet to roll out of the way for the 450.
17:14And it's Cameron Russell getting the crowd going.
17:18Tips touched again.
17:19Soars in.
17:20And it is Cameron Russell.
17:22Big right hand.
17:23Give it to him.
17:25Oh.
17:25These Russell twins fight with everything they have.
17:28Nice drop kick.
17:30Don't be have a lot of faith there.
17:33They're proud about the faith they have.
17:36Come on, baby.
17:36You know what you do.
17:38And they're going to need all the belief right now to turn this around.
17:43Uh-oh.
17:44My goodness.
17:44Caught in midair.
17:46Oh.
17:47I've never seen that before.
17:50That was, that was like a catwalk.
17:53That was like a fashion catwalk.
17:54I don't even know if anybody else could do it.
17:57The height of Mason Maddox made it possible.
18:00That kick may have been enough.
18:02Ooh.
18:02Amber, the top of drop.
18:04Spine buster.
18:06We're getting close to the air, Riccoboni.
18:08Well, I don't think we talk enough about how great of an athlete Mansoor is.
18:12Oh, look at this.
18:13It's Mason Maddox.
18:15And a choke slam.
18:18Maybe 10 feet up in the air.
18:20Oh, no.
18:20They have Cameron Russell in trouble here.
18:26Oh.
18:27The super high-gloss center pole.
18:31That's going to be enough.
18:32Triple pin.
18:34Two.
18:34That's it.
18:36Wow.
18:36Here are your winners, MXM Collection and Johnny TV.
18:44You know, sometimes in sports, we just talk a lot about the NFL.
18:49The Eagles got to the Super Bowl three years ago.
18:52Fast forward three seasons ago.
18:54Fast forward two seasons.
18:55They won with much of the same team.
18:57I'm saying right now, MXM Collection may have come up just short in their quest for the six-man titles.
19:02But to your point, Caprice.
19:03Watch this, Riccoboni.
19:04Watch this.
19:04More cohesive than ever.
19:07Yeah.
19:10MXM, Johnny TV looking like a well-oiled machine here tonight.
19:14Victorious over the Russell Twins and Rosario Brillo.
19:17What a match.
19:21At fans, last week, we saw the women's world television champion Red Velvet successful in the proving ground against Ashley Vox.
19:28But her opponent for this week, La Catalina from CMLL, made no bones about it.
19:36Making sure that the Ring of Honor women's world television champion knew that Catalina would be challenging for that women's ROH world television title.
19:46This week here on Honor Club and fans, this championship bout is coming up next.
19:53What?
19:55You heard me right.
19:57And we have the voice of Ring of Honor, Bobby Cruz, here tonight for our women's world television title bout.
20:04This match is set for one fall with a 30-minute time limit, and it is for the Ring of Honor Women's World Television Championship.
20:13Approaching the ring is the challenger, wrestling out of Santiago, Chile, La Catalina.
20:21Little bit of an interesting moment here, Caprice La Catalina, who normally is adorned with the mask, has a little bit more frills.
20:31Almost a level of championship seriousness as she walks to the ring here tonight.
20:37That's about to stir it up, Rick and Bonnie.
20:39Her party, wrestling from straight out of your mother's kitchen.
20:43She is the Ring of Honor Women's World Television Champion, Red Velvet.
20:51I know what time it is.
20:53Time to stir it up.
20:56The Women's World Television Champion, Red Velvet.
20:59Who earned that title nearly one year ago.
21:02Rapidly approaching one year as champion.
21:05And that has a biggest test to date, in my opinion, standing in front of her, one of the top stars in CMLL, La Catalina.
21:14I have to agree with you.
21:15And like you said, alluded to earlier, Rick and Bonnie, with the change of appearance in the entrance,
21:20a lot of times with luchadors, when they take matches seriously, they change up something.
21:24They either wear white or they wear something different to change up the oar of their feeling when they come in championship opportunities.
21:30Aubrey Edwards displaying the title.
21:36Sometimes they go to black.
21:37Yep.
21:38To get a more serious vibe, to help them focus, to lock in.
21:43We've heard that as well.
21:44That's exactly what Catalina seems to see.
21:46Because she's wearing more black than anything else.
21:50Oh, jeez.
21:51That's one, twice.
21:54Well, there you go.
21:56And the Codafone, it's amazing.
21:57It's amazing how our stars from CMLL and New Japan sometimes that hear more of the Code of Honor and some of our more rule-breaking friends.
22:04And speaking of CMLL, AEW heads to CMLL's home, Arena Mexico in Mexico City for AEW Grand Slam Mexico.
22:10Coming your way.
22:11Live Wednesday, June 18th, it is AEW's first trip to Mexico.
22:18Carnival tie-up, and it was a long time before Christopher Daniels eventually adhered to the Code of Honor,
22:23but it was a gigantic deal as a wrist lock now.
22:27Former World Television Champion on the bedside, former Grand Slam Champion.
22:30Look at that.
22:30Beautiful.
22:32And that's the thing about Catalina.
22:34She's got to have a little bit of fun, too.
22:36She's got to let that spirit come out.
22:37That's important.
22:38Even though she's focused, she's got to let that high-energy run because that's part of her game play.
22:44Absolutely.
22:44And that throws champion off, too.
22:47Red Velvet normally used to having the mind games in play, but Catalina playing with him as well.
22:51Now you see Red Velvet breaking it down, keeping it close, wearing that headlock down, right back to the base.
22:57Catalina tried to roll out of it.
22:58Oh, one, two.
23:02Good series of moves there.
23:03Sweeping the leg.
23:04It's Catalina.
23:04Look at that.
23:05Clawing at the leg, so to speak.
23:06Some good wrestling here.
23:08Yes, indeed.
23:09One, two.
23:10Good cradle.
23:13Backslide.
23:14Yes, indeed.
23:15Whoa, two.
23:15A lot of changes from that move right there, Riccoboni.
23:20A great feeling-out process here.
23:22Both women, high-energy, high-octane right now.
23:24Woo!
23:26Oh!
23:27The confidence of Catalina.
23:30Oh, she's got Red Velvet stirring.
23:34The high seat, Riccoboni.
23:36Red Velvet knows it.
23:37The further out it gets in the ropes, the more dangerous it is.
23:39Red Velvet has to do something fast.
23:42Electric chair position.
23:44Aubrey Edwards saying Red Velvet's got to let it go.
23:45Red Velvet, right to the eyes, to the eyes, out of the view of Edwards.
23:50Right out of the weight of the referee's eyes.
23:53Aubrey didn't see a thing.
23:56Oh.
23:59Yes, Red Velvet backing off.
24:00Single leg, ankle pick there, off the ropes.
24:02Nice drop down.
24:03These two women have been, have been, misdirection called.
24:08Drop kick.
24:10And these two women have been on the opposite side of the largest women's match,
24:14the highest profile women's match CMLL has every year.
24:18CMLL's International Women's Grand Prix, Tornado C-Bernetico.
24:22But they have not met one-on-one.
24:24This is a bit of a dream match here.
24:26Not able to do it.
24:28Catalina on the outside.
24:29Taking the high-risk already.
24:31Pay it off, Wale.
24:32And my apologies, they were, they were teammates in that bout,
24:38representing the international team.
24:41Oh, goodness.
24:42Whoa.
24:45Whoa.
24:45Wow.
24:47I didn't, I didn't know she had with the body.
24:51Normally we see that, that more whimsical side, that more collected side.
24:58This is a fire out of La Catalina.
25:02Oh.
25:02Oh.
25:05You're not cheering now, are you?
25:06You heard that.
25:07You're not cheering now, are you?
25:09Red Bell with that instinct, bringing it right back in control.
25:12Staying on the outside of the ring to be able to inflict more damage.
25:15Maybe on the legs here.
25:16Has it right at the ring post.
25:18This is all steel with Kavani.
25:19All steel.
25:20Oh.
25:22You're such a vanity.
25:24And into that meniscus, that side of the knee.
25:30Oh, it's Aubrey Edwards.
25:31Oh, goodness.
25:32And this is, I mean, Red Velvet, as long as she's giving the five-second break,
25:37she can do that almost as much as she wants.
25:39Absolutely.
25:39She's definitely within the rules.
25:41And that right there, working that leg, isolating it,
25:45will slow Catalina down, to say the least.
25:48Oh, look at that ankle.
25:49Look at the way that ankle's moving.
25:51You see the way it's bitten over the top rope?
25:52Oh, I not only saw it, I felt that.
25:58That was.
25:59The steel cables in those ropes, Rickabani, just like telephone wire.
26:04Oh.
26:05Catalina dropping down into the corner from the impact as Red Velvet, Irish whip.
26:12Catalina now.
26:14Charging back in.
26:15Gets a knee out of desperation.
26:16Giving up her own knee to strike the champion.
26:20Straight desperation, hoping it paid off.
26:23Trying to wake that knee back up.
26:26Was it worth the risk for La Diva?
26:30Oh, again, maybe not.
26:32Red Velvet, the first back to her feet.
26:35Red Velvet closing the gap before she went to her feet,
26:38which says she's definitely trying to stay center.
26:40In the center of the ring, with control of Catalina, giving it a hard time.
26:43You can see she couldn't quite plant as well as she wanted to, leaping on that clothesline.
26:50And when you can't plant as much, recombine, there's not as much power delivered.
26:53I tell you, all that hip power was straight on.
26:56And gravity, the most powerful force there, as Catalina, beautiful Fisherwoman.
27:03Fingers are locked.
27:04That was two and three-fourths.
27:07And I think if that knee was at full strength, the bridge would have been all the way Caprice,
27:11and we would have had a new champion.
27:12Without a doubt.
27:14Catalina's not finished.
27:15Attack again.
27:17Oh, but every time she jumps, she gives up that knee.
27:20And she's giving more and more damage to that knee.
27:23Well, that's the risk you take.
27:24Rick a body.
27:25Oh, face buster.
27:29Cover.
27:30Two.
27:33Tell you what, man.
27:34The time she took to nurse that knee, the time she took not hooking the leg, I think cost that win there.
27:41And I don't think Red Velvet's going to let any more of that happen.
27:43If I'm Red Velvet, I'm trying to find a way to end this thing as fast as possible.
27:47Catalina's pulling out all the stops.
27:50And looking for that hip again.
27:51No.
27:52Beautiful drop to hold.
27:53Yes, she's trying for the same thing three times.
27:56Whoa!
27:56Back to the world.
27:57Red Velvet.
27:59Meteora to the defenseless back of La Diva, La Catalina.
28:03Oh!
28:04And, oh!
28:05That's got to be enough.
28:07Yeah.
28:07Steering it up.
28:08Cover.
28:08Two.
28:09Whoa!
28:09Two count only.
28:13We saw so many people fall to that Rick Abani.
28:17Certainly had.
28:18The road to the world television title was filled, was strewn with athletes that succumbed to that kick.
28:26And this is a high risk for both wrestlers here.
28:32Red Velvet probably looking for a superplex.
28:34La Catalina has a little bit of time.
28:36If she can stay low, center of gravity, before she can fight back.
28:39She's doing that.
28:41Yep.
28:41And she had that ankle hooked in that second rope.
28:43Now able to balance herself all the way up top.
28:48Uh-oh.
28:49Whoa!
28:50Shotgun drop kick.
28:51Plays the champion.
28:53But Red Velvet, out of good fortune, landed close to the ropes.
28:58Yeah.
28:58Red Velvet's staying far away.
28:59Shotgun drop kick across body.
29:01It was what Catalina does.
29:02That cross body probably would have put a lot on the knees.
29:06Shoes that shotgun drop kick.
29:07Let your chair again.
29:09And the crowd feeling it.
29:11That chance for La Catalina.
29:12Oh!
29:12Let your chair drop.
29:14Kick.
29:14Catalina fighting the champion.
29:17Tried it the first time.
29:18Couldn't get it.
29:20Successful this time.
29:21She may be going for that splash up top.
29:23Rick Abani, if she hits this, we get a new champion.
29:27We will have a new women's world television champion.
29:30If she can land that signature splash.
29:32Red Velvet knows it.
29:33Red Velvet fighting her way back up to her own feet.
29:36Red Velvet bringing the legs back to the inside.
29:39That left knee was so damaged.
29:44Got a staggered stance with Catalina.
29:46She's fighting balance and Red Velvet at the same time.
29:49Yeah.
29:50You have to have both inside or both outside.
29:51You can't have one or the other.
29:53Oh!
29:53Oh, and that knee.
29:56Shut up.
29:56Oh, and Red Velvet has Catalina right where Velvet wants her.
30:06Champion plants the challenger on the superplex.
30:08Oh, my goodness.
30:10Standing dragon screw.
30:12Back to that leg.
30:16Right back to it.
30:17Oh, we've seen this before.
30:18Half crab.
30:19Half crab locked in.
30:21Red Velvet going left to right with that knee.
30:25Also, Catalina trying to get to the ropes.
30:27Does indeed get there.
30:29This is the war, Riccoboni.
30:33Catalina giving all she's got to stay in this match.
30:36Red Velvet has put a lot of investment on that leg though.
30:39Going right back to that half crab.
30:41Opposite direction this time.
30:43Going high angle.
30:44Almost live.
30:45That's it.
30:45And that's it.
30:46The winner of this match by submission and still rigged by the women's World Television
30:57Champion, Red Velvet.
31:01And Caprice, I don't know if Red Velvet needed that rope there.
31:07That rope she got to hold of.
31:08What now?
31:09And that high angle.
31:16She got that great high angle putting extra pressure on different parts of the knee.
31:20Clearly.
31:21Focused on defeating Catalina all night.
31:24The game plan was there.
31:27But did she need that assist?
31:30Jeez.
31:31And maybe that's why deep down she didn't want to adhere to the code of honor.
31:35Red Velvet retains your Women's World Television Championship.
31:40And from the Television Champion to the Pier Championship, we will crown the first ever
31:44Women's Pier Champion, Queen Amanata, entered into the tournament.
31:48We will also see the professor, Serena Deeb.
31:51Earlier tonight we saw one of the combatants, Layla Gray.
31:54She enters the tournament, as does Taya Valkyrie.
31:57And finally, the last name known so far, former ROH Women's World Champion, the virtuosa,
32:02Tiana Perrazzo.
32:03So, that is coming up in the next couple of weeks.
32:06But fans, coming up next, the Frat House takes on SAP No Love Lost.
32:12A lot of history here.
32:13That is tonight's tag team main event.
32:16We will see Serpentico and Angelico take on Griff Garrison and Cole Carter of the Frat
32:21House SAP Frat House.
32:23Our main event is up next.
32:28Dude, you and your frat bros destroyed our house at the party last night.
32:32My brother and his friends were in urgent care all night.
32:35All the pranks being pulled up at the Frat House.
32:37I believe they come to the Ring of Honor just to escape getting in trouble.
32:40This tag team match is set for one ball within 20-minute time limit.
32:47It's your two-first team coming by Jack Jennison and Preston Vance.
32:52At a combined weight of 460 pounds, they are representing the Frat House, Cole Carter and Griff Garrison.
33:02They play a pump?
33:05Well, yeah.
33:06Garrison on the left, Cole on the right, and they got some of the pledges out here.
33:11A lot of people wouldn't be part of the Frat House, Rickavani.
33:14Hey!
33:14Hey!
33:15Let's go!
33:16Let's go!
33:16I don't understand how these guys...
33:19I can smell what's in those cubs.
33:22Uh-oh.
33:23Is this an initiation?
33:25What is going on here?
33:26It's always an initiation.
33:27As long as the Frat House is around, Rickavani.
33:29Oh, goodness.
33:30Just disposing of those two young men.
33:32They would initiate people at McDonald's the other night.
33:34I saw it.
33:35Well, it's neither here nor there.
33:37I can smell what is in those cubs.
33:40Caprice, I run half marathons.
33:42I don't look as chiseled or jacked as these guys.
33:45But that's the genetics right there.
33:46Everyone in the Frat House has a body that people would pay for.
33:50But they've earned those bodies just like they're trying to earn these title opportunities.
33:58And now confronting Ref Gina.
34:01Cole Carter.
34:03There you see Griff Garrison standing.
34:05Bobby Cruz is...
34:07Kind of surprised Bobby didn't take a swig.
34:10Bobby.
34:11Not Bobby.
34:12Not on the job.
34:13No, no.
34:15Their opponents in tonight's main event.
34:17We go to the voice of Ring of Honor, Bobby Cruz.
34:21Their opponents at a combined weight of 384 pounds.
34:25Angelico and Serpentico.
34:29Spanish Announced Project.
34:33These guys vibing.
34:34Serpentico on the left.
34:36Angelico.
34:38Bringing up the rear.
34:39But look.
34:39Angelico moves like he's a wave.
34:44Absolutely.
34:44He's a vibe, Riccoboni.
34:46Changes the aura when he walks in the building.
34:49He's one of those people that make the party better.
34:51Yes, sir!
34:52That's the kind of vibe I want.
34:55I don't need this loud music.
34:56I don't need the frat house.
34:59I just need guys like Angelico, Serpentico.
35:02And Angelico, let's talk about his training for a moment.
35:05Yeah, world-renowned wrestler who started his career in South Africa, went to Mexico, trained under the same wrestlers that trained Naito Okada.
35:16Just a couple of names that folks might know.
35:18Former IWGP Heavyweight Champions.
35:20Current Continental Classic Crown Champion, Kazuchika Okada.
35:25And he's got the pedigree, the history to back it up.
35:28Serpentico from Puerto Rico.
35:30Big time worldwide star.
35:32They formed a great team here in Ring of Honor.
35:35And now this might be a long-standing peace offering, Caprice.
35:39A lot of history here with the body.
35:43What?
35:44Oh, come on!
35:46And Garrison and Carter, two men that stole the mask at one point of Serpentico.
35:54I tell you what, see those cups, what I think is in those cups, I know the eyes are burning.
35:59And wow!
36:00And so are the jaws off frat house.
36:03That's SAP going to work here.
36:06And you know what?
36:07Things are big here in this grudge match of sorts.
36:11But they will be even bigger as AEW takes over Texas for All In Texas Week.
36:17It starts off AEW Dynamite live Wednesday, July 9th.

36:44The tag is made.
36:45Visit AEWAllInTexas.com for tickets and details.
36:48I understand some of the first stars to be appearing at StarCast won't be named within the next couple of weeks.
36:54Oh, SAP with a big clothesline there.
36:56Ring of Honor, take a breath.
36:57Just take a breath, okay?
37:01Listen, we've got to be telling the people how to get there, how to be in Texas.
37:04I'm wearing my cowboy hat again.
37:05It's going to be awesome.
37:06Good old IR's making his return.
37:10I heard a rumor on good standing.
37:14Off the ropes.
37:15Oh, look at that!
37:24Serpentico!
37:25And if I was Serpentico, I'd be almost fighting out of my shoes here.
37:34He's more composed than I would be after some of the things they did.
37:37Almost initiating Serpentico before the frat house was a thing!
37:41Oh, nice float over here.
37:43Tag made.
37:45All right, Helico.
37:47Oh!
37:47Serpentico trying to get to the top, taking too long.
37:50Because of the distraction on the outside, you saw him picked off.
37:53Yeah, Cole Carter grabbing a hold of that ankle.
37:56The footing messed up by Serpentico there.
37:59And it has gripped Garrison now to the corner.
38:01Just driving in those punches.
38:04And I think Garrison, honestly, oh, wait a minute.
38:07Come on.
38:08Now it's four on one in the corner.
38:10I expected nothing less.
38:13I expected nothing less.
38:17And I think Garrison, honestly, the fact that Serpentico is a tag,
38:20has made, got his mask back.
38:23After the torture that Garrison and Carter tried to put SAP through.
38:28I think that really stuck in their craw.
38:31One count there.
38:32I want to say that sometimes Garrison has a light in him.
38:36Just because I've known him since he was very young.
38:38But I think I have to come to terms with knowing this Griff Garrison
38:41isn't a young guy I used to know.
38:44Well, and that's the thing.
38:45They're even more dangerous.
38:46I mean, there's something that was unlocked that was even more unhinged
38:50and deranged than Cole Carter.
38:52Getting really that alpha energy, as the kids say.
38:55Well, here's the thing, everybody.
38:56Round people like Preston Vanson.
38:58Cover.
38:59Two.
38:59Two.
39:00That have the ability to allow you to do everything that you want to do
39:04without any supervision.
39:06Think about that, Riccobani.
39:08They're having a time in their life now.
39:09And no consequences either.
39:11Yeah.
39:11There's no one in their life that's reminding them that, oh,
39:14that these decisions that they're making now could affect them for the rest of their life.
39:17Cover.
39:17Two.

39:22I was in college.
39:23I had people around me, upperclassmen.
39:25I had advisors.
39:27I had professors in this frat house.
39:29These are college-age kids, Caprice.
39:31Yep.
39:32And they're being led around by Jack Jamison, who, you know,
39:36who was, what, a sixth-year senior?
39:38Tag made.
39:38Exactly.
39:39He's hitting the nail on the head, Riccobani.
39:40And now it is the frat house into the corner and charging in.
39:51Whoa!
39:51Whoa!
39:52Shoot it out!
39:53Whoa!
39:54Drop kick!
39:55Drop kick!
39:56Drop kick!
39:57And big drop kick!
39:58Cover here.
39:59Two.
40:00Two.
40:01Two.
40:02Did you have a pledge, Riccobani?
40:03Didn't you go to school?
40:04Yeah.
40:05I went to NYU.
40:06Yeah.
40:06Yeah.
40:07Did you pledge?
40:08No, I didn't pledge.
40:10I, you know, I was too busy playing baseball.
40:12I don't...
40:12Was Big Bill your advisor?
40:14Hey.
40:15Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
40:16What Bill did, he was a great basketball player for the NYU
40:19Violets who made it to the D3 Finals this year.
40:21Shut up, you rats!
40:23Look at this cover.

40:36Look at a face on Griff Garrison, man.
40:38Whether you like it or not, this is a focused young man, knows what he has to do, is willing
40:45to do whatever he needs to do to get that win now, and lately Riccoboni's been working
40:50for them.
40:51It certainly has.
40:53The frat house cashing in on that potential, that potential turning into reality is a big
40:58boot Serpentico with the elbow.
41:01It's second row, Hurricane Rana from the inside, going back to the wrong corner, reorient,
41:06trying to make the tag now to Serpentico.
41:08Garrison has that block, grabbing that ankle, trying to keep it from happening, trying to
41:11keep the hurt man inside the ring, suplex the tip, Serpentico on his feet, goes through,
41:18and through the legs, Garrison, scramble legs, Serpentico pushing off, can he make the tag?
41:23He does!
41:24On Helico with a big clothesline!
41:25Hit another!
41:26Oh!
41:27Oh!
41:28Pull Nelson, blocked kick on Helico into the corner, and sending Carter to the middle of
41:37the ring, and jumping clothesline!
41:40It's hard to stay hold of somebody like Helico.
41:43He's so hard to get a hold of, because he doesn't move in a predictable fashion.
41:48and he is just smooth look at that just like i just said he looks like a professional break
