“Daddy Magic” Matt Menard vs. Konosuke Takeshita
And it started with a bang as the 4-0 in ROH Takeshita opened the evening against Quebec’s own Matt “Daddy Magic” Menard. Takeshita is a Callis Family member and Menard is presumably a Habs fan. Takeshita had what was pretty much the ROH Match of the year at Supercard of Honor 2025 against Bandido.
Off the top, Takeshita tried to take control, but Menard played a bunch of French Canadian mind games, stopping and starting and throwing Takeshita off. Menard managed to get a scoop slam on the bigger man and Takeshita slid to the outside to collect his thoughts.
Menard tried to move things along, but Takeshita pulled him out of the ring and brutalized him on the barricade with a big boot. He dragged Menard back into the ring and laid some knees and elbows in. Menard fought back, but it was short lived with Takeshita maintaining control and twisting by the neck.
Menard built up some steam throwing clotheslines off of a missed discus elbow by Takeshita. Menard hit a DDT that stood Takeshita on his head, but he still managed to kick out at two.
Menard picked a fight with the bigger man who hit him with a right cross and then a blue thunder bomb, which anyone who’s seen wrestling knows cannot end a match. So, Takeshita hit Menard with a big knee to the face and that was enough to put him down.
Winner: Konosuke Takeshita via Pinfall.
Shane Taylor vs. Mance Warner
From one heavy hitter to another, as Talyor, one third of the ROH Six Man Tag Champions with The Infantry took on the debuting “king of the brawlers” Mance Warner. The king has his work cut out for him though, giving up at least 100lbs on Taylor.
Taylor spat on Warner’s Code of Honor and the Warner wiped it into his hair. Gross.
The strikes were heavy off the top with both men coming out swinging. Warner no-sold a bunch of Taylor offense which I didn’t think was possible, but eventually Taylor wore him down. Warner came back with a Three-Stooges eye poke, before sending Taylor into the barricade on the outside.
Warner went to jump off the apron, but Taylor caught him in mid air and threw him into the ring post. Then he threw him into the steps for good measure. Taylor dropped a guillotine leg drop on Warner’s chest on the ring apron (the droppiest part of the ring!) and sent him back in.
Taylor then pulled a chair out from under the ring and set it up but the steps. Warner exited the ring swinging, but Taylor dazed him and set him up in the chair for a running forearm to the face. Taylor threw Warner back into the ring and no-sold some body jabs.
Taylor laid Warner out with a lariat, but could only get a two count. Taylor hit a Rock Bottom followed by a splash, but Warner still wouldn’t go down and kicked out at two. Taylor scoop slammed him and then went to the second rope for a splash, but Warner moved out of the way.
Warner tried his best to come back with lariats and something of a back suplex. He then went for the chair, bringing it into the ring. He used it to launch himself into a tornado DDT on Taylor, and the ref got rid of it.
Taylor caught one of Warner’s running knees and threw him back to the mat. Warner tried to out head-butt Taylor, but that just opened him up for a Marcus Garvey Driver. Taylor made the pin and won the match.
Winner: Shane Taylor via Pinfall.

Backstage the Premier Athletes were interviewed. Mark Sterling said that it’s been 234 days since he was last attacked and thanked the Athletes for protecting him. Tony Nese put the locker room on notice that if anyone in the locker room lays a finger on Sterling, they will have to deal with the Premier Athletes. Which makes sense because that’s who they are and he’s their lawyer.
Stori Denali vs. Jacey Love
And that took us out to the ring where Sterling declared Denali to be an “act of God” and a “lawsuit waiting to happen.” Are we sure Sterling is a lawyer and not an insurance broker? Anyway, Jacey Love didn’t get an intro and was about two feet shorter than Denali, so the odds weren’t really in her favour.
Denali threw Love around the ring, letting her tie up every now and again. Love tried to take Denali off her feet with some shoulder tackles to Denali’s thigh (thats how big the height difference was) but Denali just shrugged it off.
Coleman and Riccaboni started talking about Podcasts and Denali beat up on Love, ending the match with a chokeslam and a standing cover.
Somewhere, Satnam Singh smiled and didn’t know why.
Winner: Stori Denali via Pinfall.
“Blackheart” Lio Rush vs. Alan Angels
Rush is working a new gimmick where he’s the “Blackheart” Lio Rush. Apparently, that means he just crawls around a bunch to Mankind b-side music and talks to himself while wearing Marilyn Manson contacts. Personally, I preferred the big coats of Cru, but to each their own.
Anyway, Rush started the match talking to his own hand and Angels slapped him in the face about it. Rush found this hilarious and went for a choke, but Angels wouldn’t let him get a hold of him. Rush changed tactics and clotheslined him.
Rush’s weird eyes freaked out Angels, but he recovered enough to kick him in the gut. From there they ran through a technical exchange that let to Rush getting a two count and Angels bailing to the outside. Angels chopped Rush who seemed to like it? Angels then hit a cannonball off the apron onto Rush on the outside.
Angels hit a Northern Lights Suplex into a bridge pin, but Rush kicked out at two. Rush hit a Thez Press off the ropes, but Angels came back with a shoulder to the face. Rush dodged a splash and bit Angels on the head. He hit a springboard Stunner, but Angels kicked out.
Angels hit a powerbomb followed by a spin kick, but Rush kicked out at two. Angels went for a butterfly suplex, but Rush powered out of it and they traded pinning combinations. Angels hit a series of German Suplexes and went up top.
Angels hit a big splash, but Rush kicked out. Rush hit a stunner on the apron followed by a rolling heel kick to send Angels to the outside. Rush then ran aound the ring like an animal and brought Angels back in for a Blue Thunder Bomb that, in spite of what I said earlier and every wrestling match I’ve ever seen, ended the match.
That’s how you know Lio Rush is weird.
Winner: “Blackheart” Lio Rush via Pinfall.
ROH Women’s Pure Championship Proving Ground Match
Remi Reade vs. Deonna Purrazzo (c)
Next, we headed to the Proving Ground and Women’s Pure Champion Deonna Purrazzo giving a potential title shot to the newcomer Remi Reade.
The clock started and Reade and Purrazzo traded wristlocks until Reade got Purrazzo into a scissor lock that Purrazzo easily got out of. Purrazzo went for a backslide but only got a one count. Reade and Purrazzo spent more time posing than wrestling in the first two minutes which was an interesting strategy on Reade’s part.
Purrazzo threw Reade into the ropes and put on a quick hold, costing her a rope break at 7:52. They traded kicks and Purrazzo hit a sit out powerbomb into the fujiwara lock. Reade immediately tapped and that was it.
Winner: Deonna Purrazzo via Submission.
Top Flight (Darius & Dante Martin) vs. Soleil & Gringo Loco
Soleil had a great debut a few weeks ago and Gringo is, well, loco. Their lucha skills will come in handy against the high-flying Martin brothers.
Darius and Gringo kicked things off with a flurry of off-the-ropes strikes. Dante and Soleil tagged in and Soleil did a couple of really impressive Matrix-style dodges to avoid Dante. Dante finally caught Soleil and sent him into the corner for a snap suplex and diving senton.
Darius tagged in and Soleil hit a big boot as Gringo tagged in. Darius sent them both to the outside and then dove after them. He seemed to take the worst of it though and Darius got back into the ring against Gringo. Soleil tagged in and they double teamed Darius until Gringo exited and it was one-on-one.
Soleil postioned Darious as Gringo went up top for a split-legged moonsault. Darious hit a rolling clothesline and got a tag to Dante who met Soleil in the ring with a springboard crossbody. Dante hit a high knee and Gringo tagged in. They threw Dante around and Soleil hit a twisting meteora from the top turnbuckle.
Darius came in to help but ate a sideswipe kick from Soleil. Dante tagged in and hit a satellite DDT on Gringo. Darious joined him and the nailed Gringo with a double facebuster to get the win.
Winner: Top Flight via Pinfall.
The IInspiration (Jessie McKay & Cassie Lee) vs. B3CCA & Madi Maxx
It is always a pleasure to see McKay and Lee doing their thing. B3CCA, in spite of not knowing how to spell, grabbed Maxx and mocked the IInspiration’s entrance, and possibly their inability to spell as well.
The tags were quick as McKay and Lee worked B3CCA over. Maxx tried to help, but ate a double kick to the gut for her trouble. Mckay and Lee hit duelling splashes and knees in the corner before locking in their signature pose.
McKay isolated B3CCA in the Iinspiration’s Ccorner, bouncing her head of the turnbuckles in sequence. B3CCA managed to get a back elbow in and get a tag to Maxx. Maxx came flying out of the corner right into a double team. B3CCA tried to help but Mckay hit a swinging neckbreaker.
The IInspiration hit a double underhook facebusters and then the Finalizer to get the pin and victory. As they should.
Winner: The IInspiration via Pinfall.

Caprice Coleman then “chopped it up” with Ian Riccaboni. Essentially, they just talked about how they enjoy working together as the longest-running duo in professional wrestling (apparently). Riccaboni then invited Red Velvet in to be “chopped it up” with.
Coleman looked very nervous talking to Velvet due to either unpreparedness or a crush. It wasn’t really clear. Then it ended. The segment just ended.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Viva Van vs. Sara Leon
While we all tried to wrap our heads around that, Leon and Van made their entrances. Leon was touted as an actor (in Spain) and had a metric ton of energy to her.
Van took control off the bell but Leon was able to keep her wits about her and throw Van out of a wristlock. Van dropped a knee on Leon’s arm and then dropped to her knees and posed. That drew Leon into a lock up and Van transitioned it into an arm bar.
Leon rolled it through into a pin attempt, but Van exploded back and dropped her with a spinning heel kick. Van hit a big boot and an upkick before picking Leon up on her shoulders. Leon countered the electric Chair into a hurricanrana.
Van countred by wrapping her up in an ankle lock. She dropped a knee on Leon’s leg and transitioned into a surfboard stretch. Leon managed to bridge out of it and stunned Van with a back elbow.
Van hit a driver and Van put her up in a straight jacket electric chair, dropping Leon to the mat on her back. Van made the cover and picked up the win.
Winner: Viva Van via Pinfall.
Paid In Full (Big Bill & “The Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith) vs. Nick Halen & Vin Parker
Paid In Full have been working as mercenaries in ROH, taking out whoever they are paid to take out. I don’t know who Halen and Parker made mad to put them in Bill and Keith’s sights, but here we are.
Keith exploded off the bell with a clothesline that dropped Halen. Halen tried to come back with a second rope dropkick, but Keith punched him in the face in mid air. He then hit a t-bone suplex and raked the eyes of Halen.
Bill tagged in and once again I marveled at how far he’s come in terms of skill and physique. He knocked Parker off the apron then threw a couple of splashes in the corner on Halen. Parker tried to help, but Bill dispatched him. Bill and Keith each hit a big boot on Halen and that was it. Keith made the pin to win the match.
Winner: Paid In Full via Pinfall.
Christyan XO vs. Frankie B
This is the singles debut of XO, coming off the very tall heels of Stori Denali’s singles match earlier in the show. I imagine that eventually someone in ROH will say “hey we’ve got two really tall women here!” and have them fight each other, but for now I’m sure we’ll enjoy both of them Lance Archer-ing their way through the ROH Women’s roster.
XO held her hand up high, preventing B from locking up. She did this a bunch, and eventually B figured out she could just punch her. XO kocked her to the ground and B tried to roll XO up, but couldn’t pull the big woman down.
B leapt up to try a sleeper, but XO shrugged her off and set her up on the top turnbuckle for a headscissor. B tried to come back, but XO dropped her with a big boot while the Infantry cheered. She hit a scissor kick and made the pin to pick up the victory in the battle of women with letters for last names.
Winner: Christyan XO via Pinfall.
Six-Man Tag Team Match
TMDK (Bad Dude Tito, Mikey Nicholls, & Shane Haste) vs. Don Callis Family (Mark Davis & RPG Vice (Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta)
And then it was Main Event time as TMDK air-drummed their way to the ring to take on select members of the Don Callis Family. Also, have you seen Trent Beretta’s episode of Floor Is Lava on Netflix? It’s great, he teams with Orange Cassidy and Kris Stratlander. They don’t win.
Anyway, Davis towered over every other participant in the match, but Tito and Romero were the ones to kick things off. Tito no-sold a chop from Romero then sent him scrambling into Beretta’s arms with a chop of his own.
Tito immediately drove Beretta into the corner then threw him with a snap suplex. Nicholls and Haste ran in to drop double fists on Beretta, with Haste staying legal. Beretta started spamming superkicks, sending Haste out of the ring where Davis picked him up and lawn-darted him into Nicholls.
Back in the ring, the Callis Family isolated Haste in their corner and beat him up with a bunch of quick tags. Davis then started throwing bombs on him in the opposite corner. Then isolation. Then Bombs. Then Isolation. It went on like this for a while.
Davis scoop slammed Haste, but whiffed on the senton. Romero tagged in, cutting off Haste from making a tag. Haste kicked him and got the hot one to Nicholls. Nicholls took out Beretta and Romero, but Romero fired back off the ropes.
Davis and Tito got hot tags and the two brusiers traded forearms and elbows. Tito missed a spinning kick and Davis made him pay for it with suplexes. Tito managed to cut off a Davis lariat with a superkick, laying both men out.
They got to their knees and traded forearms. Then they got to their feet and traded forearms. Then they traded spinning kicks. That’s not true, Davis got the kick in, but Tito blocked the next move and set Davis up on the top turnbuckle. Tito managed to execute the superplex and subsequent brainbuster, but Davis kicked out of the cover.
With Romero and Beretta taken care of, TMDK triple teamed Davis until Beretta flew in to break up a pin. Tito took on Beretta and Romero who nailed him with stereo high knees. Davis came back in and hit Tito with a shining wizard for a two count.
The match completely deteriorated after that with people in black trunks just hitting other people in black trunks, while other people in black trunks watched.
Tito managed to double clothesline Romero and Beretta out of the ring, leaving him and Davis one-on-one. Davis executed a really nasty piledriver on Tito and I guess he was legal because he made the pin and won the match.
Winner: Don Callis Family via Pinfall.
