    That was a great show.

    The women of ROH/AEW do love a hardcore match and are brilliant at them.

    See Tony is now talking on the post show presser about rebranding ROH as AEW Ring of Honor and implying it could get a TV deal as part of the WBD deal.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,753 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Yep, good show.

    Not sure why Aminata tried interrupting Athena when she was about to address the crowd, which resulted in her accidentally being hit with the microphone.

    Maybe we'll see the Pure title defended more now.

    So after a PPV which they don't have too often, they decide to crown new 6 man tag champions a day later.

    Assumed that was a return that would've happened on Dynamite.

    So Top Flight now randomly have a female member as well after Outrunners last time. Leila Grey. Will see if that's just for RoH or will she join them in AEW as well.

    Athena, Billie & Lexy really might just be the best storyline in wrestling in the last 18 months.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,753 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Great how Lexy helped Athena by hitting Abadon with the belt.

    I see Reggie/Scrypts made his RoH debut as Sidney Akeem.

    Leila needs to work on her lip syncing.

    Delighted for Athena a real pro and one of the best signings Tony Khan has ever made.

    The end is coming for Athena and the best women's North American storyline ever for me.

    Athena, Billie and Lexy deserve so much credit for what they have done over the last 12 months.

    Reports today that ROH close to a TV deal.

    Jericho the face of the company makes sense just like when he was the first AEW champion for the TNT debut.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Athena again the MVP with a great fun match with Abadon on last nights show.

    ROH/AEW women do hardcore as good as anywhere in wrestling they never fail to put on a great hardcore match.

    ROH Final Battle 2024 is to take place in The Hammerstein Ballroom.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 16,361 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Collision also taking place there that weekend



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    ROH's bracket for the International Women’s Cup at Wrestle Dynasty.

    Athena vs. Red Velvet vs. Billie Starkz vs. Leyla Hirsch

    The winner of the 4 way goes to Wrestle Dynasty.

    Matt Cardona vs Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship announced for ROH Final Battle at the Hammerstein Ballroom.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,089 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Man I would love Matt to win that, what a breath of fresh air that would be



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 16,361 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Looked like a fun PPV going by twitter, great to see Bandido back but him giving himself a concussion straight away wasnt great, hopefully its nothing serious. Return of Danhausen was great and got a big pop, nice to see Nigel back in the ring again. If the rumours are true of ROH getting a TV slot, they really need to build the brand up on its own like with NXT keeping it separate from the main shows bar the odd time appearing on both (also a reason to keep Jericho off Dynamite/Collision/PPV)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,753 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Good PPV for the most part.

    If there was one big problem it had, it was the lack of build for matches.

    They had 9 matches on the main show and 3 of them had no build. Considering how many PPVs RoH has per year, they have plenty of time to build their matches.

    Then you have the final 2 for the TV title include Blake Christian who just gets entered into the match despite not having a RoH match since August.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 16,361 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Look Bandido's injury could be more than just a concussion, hopefully he gets the all clear and is back soon

    MIT will never be the same again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,753 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    The former Von Wagner from NXT showed up this week in the jobber. Well he put up a good fight. Possibly show up on AEW in a similar role at some point.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,753 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    The RoH tag belts are due to be defended at Supercard of Honor next week. Now they just need to take the 6-man titles off Dustin and the Von Erichs. Since winning them last July, they've only been defended once outside of those tapings.

    Though if they do decide to have a match, maybe at tapings next week, being in Texas likely means they'd win.

    Or maybe just retire them again if don't want to use them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,753 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    With Mina injured, will we now get an Interim Interim TV champion?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,753 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Dustin gone off to get double knee replacement surgery. Hpe all goes well for him but mightn't be back in the ring.

    But where doe sthat leave the tag and 6 man titles? Not that they were doing anything with them anyway. For the 2 matches of the year they had the Von Erichs they shold've dropped the 6 man titles but being the home state team, of course they had to win.

    Watched ROH on MyAEW this evening and the new set up in the TV studio feels very old fashioned Georgia Championship wrestling and NWA pre Covid.
