Video: Samoa Joe, Tony Khan, Stokely Hathaway, Jerry Lynn

The show began with the ROH Board of Directors – Tony Khan, Stokely Hathaway, & Jerry Lynn – standing with Samoa Joe on the Collision set. They want to celebrate Samoa Joe reaching one year as ROH World Television Champion, so they present him with a brand-new title belt. Joe says he can’t think of a better way to celebrate than by breaking CM Punk’s face. We then cut to a video recap of the Collision main event, highlighting Joe and Punk’s faceoff.

Komander, El Hijo del Vikingo, & The Lucha Brothers (Rey Fenix & Penta El Zero Miedo) vs. Serpentico, Kip Sabian, The Butcher, & The Blade

Vikingo and Serpentico started off. Serpentico got the better of Vikingo with a powerbomb, but Vikingo hit a hurricane kick and tagged out to Komander. The Butcher tagged in on the other side and took control after Kip Sabian cut Komander off with a knee to the back. The Sabian side rushed Komander with offense, ending with a Butcher lariat for a nearfall.

The Sabian side ran an offensive flurry in the corner on Komander, ending with a Sabian fisherman’s suplex for a nearfall. Komander fought his way out of a double team and tagged out to Penta, who ran wild on both the Blade and Sabian. Fenix tagged in and ran wild on the Blade and Serpentico. Quadruple superkicks on all four opponents gave Fenix a nearfall on Sabian.

The Lucha Brothers’ tag team Package Piledriver got broken up, leading to a triple team on Fenix for a nearfall. The match broke down into a Pier Eight brawl before the luchadors caught the Sabian team in a rowboat in the middle of the ring. Penta hit a Canadian Destroyer on Serpentico in the middle of it all. Vikingo and Fenix hit dives to the floor, leaving Penta to hit the Package Piledriver on Serpentico to score the win.

Winner: Komander, El Hijo del Vikingo, & The Lucha Brothers via Pinfall.

Gringo Loco vs. Willie Mack

These two went to a stalemate early on, cartwheeling out of each other’s headscissors attempt. Mack caught Loco with a DDT out of the corner. Mack hit a pair of running strikes before landing a cannonball in the corner for a nearfall. Loco fought back before running into a Samoan Drop from Mack. Mack hit a standing moonsault for a nearfall.

Mack took Loco to the top rope, but Loco knocked him down and hit a double jump moonsault. Mack rolled to the floor, but Loco followed him with a plancha. Loco went for a corkscrew moonsault, but Mack moved and hit a main event spinebuster for a nearfall. They traded strikes before Mack hit a Shining Wizard to put both men down. Loco cut Mack off as he went to the top rope and hit a double jump Spanish Fly for the hometown win.

Winner: Gringo Loco via Pinfall.

Trish Adora vs. Allysin Kay

Adora caught Kay in an Octopus hold, but Kay dumped her on the ropes to escape. Kay laid in some strikes before landing a neckbreaker for a nearfall. Kay laid in the strikes to Adora before Adora caught her with a German suplex from her knees. Adora fired up, sending Kay into the corner shoulder first. Adora hit a bridging suplex for a nearfall. Kay avoided the Lariat Tubman and hit a boot for a nearfall. Adora rolled out of a powerbomb position and hit the Lariat Tubman for the win.

Winner: Trish Adora via Pinfall.

Kyle Fletcher vs. Silas Young

After trading shoulder blocks, Fletcher sent Young to the floor with a boot. Fletcher hit a crossbody over the top rope. On commentary, Riccaboni noted that a win here would give Fletcher three straight wins over three former ROH TV champions. Young cut Fletcher off with a hotshot across the top rope before sending Fletcher into the turnbuckles hard with an Irish Whip.

Fletcher muscled Young up into a suplex. Fletcher fired up, hitting a running forearm and a back suplex for a nearfall. Young cut Fletcher off with a back elbow, but Fletcher hit a half-and-half suplex before following it with a running kick in the corner. Fletcher followed it with a brainbuster for a nearfall. Young fought out of the twisting Tombstone, but Young sent Fletcher to the apron and hit a springboard lariat. Young hit the backbreaker/lariat combo but missed the headstand moonsault. Fletcher scored the win with a hammerlock reverse DDT, a move Riccaboni noted was a new finisher for Fletcher.

Winner: Kyle Fletcher via Pinfall.

The Embassy (Brian Cage & Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona) vs. Trenton Storm, AJZ, & Luke Kurtis

Liona charged Kurtis while Kurtis still had his entrance robe on. Kurtis caught Liona with a DDT, but Liona got right back up and hit a belly-to-belly for a nearfall. Cage tagged in and dropped Storm with a lariat. Storm went for a headscissors, but Cage shrugged him off and hit a German suplex. AJZ tagged in and got a bit of offense in on Kaun, but Kaun hit a Stun Gun over the top rope before hitting a running back elbow on the floor.

The Embassy went into their finishing sequence, taking out all three men before hitting three separate power moves to win. Liona got the pin on AJZ. I think Cage was the legal man, so if the other team wanted to file a complaint with the Board of Directors, they may have a case.

The Embassy via Pinfall.

Josh Woods vs. Dalton Castle

Both men have amateur wrestling experience, so they started this match with some impressive grappling. They got tied up in the ropes, where Woods yanked Castle’s head and neck into the top rope. Castle fired up the crowd before getting back in the ring and dropping Woods with a DDT. Castle hooked Woods on the top rope before kneeing him down. The other Varsity Athletes got distracted Castle, allowing Woods to send Castle into the barricade twice.

Woods tied Castle in the ropes before hitting a German suplex for a nearfall. Castle hit a clothesline before firing up with suplex variants. Castle caught a charging Woods with a German suplex for a nearfall. Woods escaped the Bangarang – with the help of Sterling – and hit a gutwrench suplex and a charging knee for a nearfall. Castle fought off all of the Athletes before using the Boys to take out Nese on the floor. Castle caught Woods on a leapfrog and hit the Bangarang for the win.

Winner: Dalton Castle via Pinfall.

Video: Stokely Hathaway, The Kingdom, The Infantry

We got a pair of video packages setting up our next match. The Kingdom went up to Stokely Hathaway and accused the Infantry of talking trash about him. The Infantry accused the Kingdom of lying about that and made a challenge for a match.

The Infantry (Charlie Bravo & Capt. Sean Dean) vs. The Kingdom (Mike Bennett & Matt Taven)

A genuine upset here, as the newer team scored the win and a third against the former ROH World Tag Team Champions.

After trading double team moves, Bravo hit a cutter over the ropes on Taven for a nearfall. Bennett dropped Bravo with strikes before landing a brainbuster for a nearfall. Bennett hit a main event spinebuster before Taven hit a springboard moonsault for a nearfall. Taven hit a DDT on Bravo for a nearfall as the Kingdom isolated Bravo. Bravo fought his way to his corner to make the tag to Dean, who ran wild on both men.

Dean hit a top rope crossbody as a fan could be heard cursing out MJF for some reason. Dean hit a Tiger Driver on Bennett for a nearfall. The Infantry hit a tag team uranage for a nearfall. Taven cut off Bravo with a knee and a Kick of the King. The Kingdom hit a neckbreaker/powerbomb combination for a nearfall. Bravo fought out of the corner, hitting a scissors kick to Bennett. Dean hit a big splash for a nearfall.

The match broke down into a Pier Four brawl before Bennett and Dean took each other down with clotheslines. As Maria distracted the referee, Bennett cut Dean off with a chair. As the Kingdom set up the Hail Mary, Trish Adora came out to remove Maria from proceedings. Dean rolled up Bennett to score the upset win.

Winner: The Infantry via Pinfall.

Big Bill & Lee Moriarty defeated Blake Christian & Matt Sydal

Big Bill has rounded into a very good wrestler. Him and Moriarty have become a solid team.

Moriarty and Sydal began with mat work. Sydal hit a headscissors and a corkscrew senton for a nearfall before tagging in Christian. Christian hit a big dropkick before landing a bottom-rope 619.

Christian fired up, hitting a suicide dive to Bill and a Fosbury Flop to Moriarty. Christian hit a springboard 450 for a nearfall that was broken up by Bill.

Sydal and Christian hit a double dropkick on Moriarty, but Bill tagged in and took them both out with clotheslines. Christian cut off a chokeslam with a knee but ran right into a Bossman Slam for a nearfall that Sydal broke up. Sydal took Bill to the floor with a headscissors, but Bill avoided a big dive and chokeslammed Christian on the apron. Bill hit the East River Crossing – Hirooki Goto’s Shouten Kai – for the win.

Winner: Big Bill & Lee Moriarty via Pinfall.

Backstage: The Kingdom

Backstage, Lexy was with The Kingdom. They were upset at their loss, blaming Stokely Hathaway for setting it up. Maria said that she gave Trish Adora her first opportunity in ROH and would make sure it would be her last chance as well.

Dark Order (Alex Reynolds & John Silver) vs. August Matthew & Dave Vega

Silver started with Bang and quickly caught him in a double team. Riccaboni noted on commentary that Matthews and Bang had a naughty tag team name on the independent scene. Reynolds hammered Matthews before Silver powerbombed Matthews into the knees of Reynolds. Reynolds and Silver hit their strike combination finisher to score the quick victory.

Winner: Dark Order via Pinfall.

After the match, The Righteous and Stu Grayson came up on the screen. Grayson asked if the Dark Order would ever bleed for him, turning Evil Uno’s question against him. Vincent asked the Dark Order if they would bring the same aggression next week. In response, Reynolds and Silver dropped Bang with more offense.

Backstage: Diamante, Smart Mark Sterling

Backstage, Lexy was with Diamante. Smart Mark Sterling came in and offered Diamante half of the winner’s purse to forfeit. Well, 49% of the winner’s purse. Surprisingly, Diamante rejected the offer.

Diamante vs. Leila Grey

Diamante seemed to change her mind and laid down for Grey but caught her with a kick when she went for the cover. Diamante hit a baseball slide, but Grey caught a boot and dropped Diamante on the apron. Grey hit a boot for a nearfall. Grey clubbered on Diamante, hitting a bulldog for a nearfall.

Grey missed a senton, allowing Diamante to fire up and hit a German suplex. Diamante hit the hesitation dropkick in the corner for a nearfall. Sterling distracted Diamante for a moment. Diamante stomped on his hand, but Grey caught Diamante with a roll-up to score the win.

Winner: Leila Grey via Pinfall.

Shane Taylor & The WorkHorsemen (Anthony Henry & JD Drake) vs. Darius Martin, AR Fox, & Action Andretti

A good trios match here with two new, solid teams. The Taylor/WorkHorsemen team are really gelling together.

Henry and Drake sent their opponents out of the ring while Taylor had Fox’s hand in the Code of Honor. Martin tried to fire up, but Drake cut him off on the floor. That allowed Taylor’s team to blitz Martin with offense. Fox caught Drake with a moonsault off the apron. Andretti tagged in and fired up, landing big offense on Henry and Taylor. Drake tried to fight Andretti, but Andretti was able to take them out with the help of Martin.

Taylor was the last man standing, fighting off all three of his opponents until Drake was able to get back in. Drake slingshot Fox into a Marcus Garvey Driver that Henry hit a double stomp to assist with. The cover got broken up, and the match broke down into a Pier Six brawl. Henry and Fox were left in the ring, and Fox caught Henry with a rollup out of a nip up to steal the win.

Winner: Darius Martin, AR Fox, & Action Andretti via Pinfall.

Backstage: Leila Grey, Smart Mark Sterling, Diamante

Backstage, Lexy was with Leila Grey and Smart Mark Sterling. They gloated about their win until Diamante came in demanding a rematch. Grey dismissively agreed to a rematch down the line. I was fine with the one match.

Pure Rules Match
Daniel Garcia vs. Rocky Romero

The judges for this Pure Match were Pat Buck, Stokely Hathaway, and Jerry Lynn.

Garcia forced Romero into the ropes to burn one of Romero’s rope breaks. Romero then caught Garcia in the Diablo Armbar to get Garcia to use his first rope break. Romero hit a dive to Garcia who escaped to the floor before hitting a running Sliced Bread back in the ring for a nearfall.

Romero caught Garcia with an Octopus Stretch to burn Garcia’s second rope break. Garcia cut off a headscissors and locked on an STF. Romero dragged Garcia to the ropes and grabbed the ropes to use his second rope break. Garcia taunted the crowd while he had Romero down, allowing Romero to drill him with a jumping knee. Garcia cut off Romero on the top rope, but Romero caught him with a hurricanrana off the top. Romero tied up Garcia in the ropes and hit the Strong Zero for a nearfall, which Garcia used the ropes to break. Garcia used his final rope break.

Garcia caught Romero with the Walls of Jericho, forcing Romero to use his last rope break to escape. The crowd informed the wrestlers that they were both out of rope breaks. Garcia tried to send a message to Pure Champion Katsuyori Shibata by finishing Romero with a Penalty Kick, but Romero caught it and fired up. Romero went on the offensive and caught Garcia in the Diablo Armbar. Garcia got to the ropes and rolled over top to transition the armbar into the Dragon Tamer. Romero tried to escape out of the ring, but Garcia held on through the ropes and got the submission win.

Winner: Daniel Garcia via Submission.

After the match, Garcia feigned a Code of Honor handshake before trying to hook on the Walls of Jericho again. Orange Cassidy made his way out to a big pop to save his best friend’s friend and run off Garcia.

ROH Women’s World Championship Chicago Street Fight Match
Kiera Hogan vs. Athena (c)

These two went all out in this one, giving their bodies up for this main event. But there was a lot of dead time in this one with the setting up of weapons taking up most of it. It would have benefitted greatly from either a tighter time frame or more urgency with the set-up. But the spots they set up did work in getting great reactions from the crowd, so it worked out in the end.

Hogan took the fight to Athena to start, but Athena caught Hogan with a Bossman Slam to cut her off. Athena went for a ladder, but Hogan dropkicked it into her chest. Hogan hit a headscissors into a standing ladder on the floor. Athena shoved Hogan into the ladder before sending her into the barricade. Hogan cut Athena off and tossed weapons into the ring, but Athena grabbed a garbage can lid and hit Hogan with it.

Athena sent Hogan into the open end of a trash can and hammered it with a kendo stick for a one count. Athena went for a handspring, but Hogan threw the trash can into Athena’s face before throwing her can in Athena’s face with a hip attack. Hogan hit a baseball slide to the trash can, then followed it with a neckbreaker for a nearfall. Hogan set Athena up on a ladder bridge and went for a splash, but Athena moved, leaving nothing but ladder for Hogan.

Athena set up a table on the floor, as well as a chair contraption at ringside. After some time, Athena went back to Hogan, but Hogan sent Athena through another table at ringside. Hogan hammered Athena with the kendo stick, but Athena got one of her own. They traded kendo stick shots before Athena won the battle. Hogan dropped Athena across a table and hit a splash thro…onto the table. Another splash broke the leg of the table, so it kind of counted.

Hogan set up a table in the ring, but Athena cut her off and went to the top rope. Hogan cut her off and went for a headscissors, but Athena stuffed it and powerbombed Hogan through the table for a nearfall. Athena grabbed a black bag from under the ring and emptied it, revealing thumbtacks all over the ring. Hogan fought out of a Razor’s Edge and sent Athena into a trash can before hitting a side suplex into the tacks for a nearfall.

Hogan choked Athena with her braids, but Athena clawed at Hogan’s eyes to escape. Athena rolled to the apron and superplexed Hogan through the chair contraption at ringside. Athena rolled Hogan into the ring and got the pin to win and retain the title.

Winner: Athena via Pinfall to retain the ROH Women’s World Championship.

This was Athena’s 11th successful defense of the title.

Backstage: Athena

Backstage, Lexy was with Athena. Athena complained about the lack of a celebration before telling the rest of the roster to step up or step out.
