Andretti refused the Code of Honor as he rolled out of the ring upon the bell ring. Fox was left to deal with Rush, who whispered… something to him. This was apparently to have the two go after Andretti early. Andrettii found himself getting hit by a big boot from Rush and a Fox enzuigiri that sent him flying out of the ring.
Meanwhile, Fox and Rush shook hands for the Code of Honor and the two engaged in quick action. After a jumping neckbreaker from Fox, Andretti did a double handspring into a double cutter on Fox and Andretti. Fast and furious action as Fox leapt off the side of the turnbuckle for a moonsault onto Rush outside of the ring. Irish whip by Fox to Andretti, who leapt onto the elevated ramp to avoid calamity. Fox followed suit, but was planted by the DDT onto the ramp by Andretti. With the World TV Champion down and out, Andretti searched for a weapon, but found an umbrella underneath the ring, which was held by Lio Rush. As the two tugged over it, Rush’s umbrella was broken, as Andretti violently threw him into the barricade. Andretti then took the remains of the umbrella and feigned hitting Rush with it, but he threw it far away.
As Andretti continued to attack Rush, both were caught by surprise by Fox with a leaping moonsault from the elevated ramp to the ground below. Backk in the ring, Fox tripped up Andretti as he attempted a suplex from the apron, but Andretti countered it. Rush hit a Stunner on Fox as Andretti flew into him with a clothesline afterwards. The cover by Andretti, but Rush kicked out repeatedly on each attempt.
Corkscrew splash onto Fox by Andretti only got a near-fall. Andretti stomped on Rush in the corner, but the Blackheart seemed to laugh maniacally at the violence being dished out at him. Fox got ahead of Andretti as he hit him with a clotheslin in the corner. Rope-assisted dropkick by Fox on Andretti was followed by cutters on his two foes. Swanton by Fox on Andretti, but Rush broke up the count. Rush lifted Fox up as his attempted low-angle springboard basement stunner was blocked. Fox then got the Blackheart with a rope-assisted spinning DDT and an Anarchy Suplex for the near-fall. Andretti recovered and hit the Shining Wizard on Fox, which only left him and Rush standing for the time being. The former Cru members battered one another with exchanges of strikes as Andretti fell victim to Rush’s basement stunner. One, two…. NO! Rush headed to the top rope, but Fox tried to stop him. Rush bit at the side of Fox’s head to knock him down. High-risk move missed as Andretti hit Rush with the knee and the Falcon Arrow for a very close two-count.
Andretti hit a returning Fox with the pumphandle slam for another two count as he dragged the champion and challenger next to one another. Andretti headed up top, but Rush intercepted him. Rush beckoned Fox to join him up top for a double superplex. Rake to the eyes by Andretti, but he paid for it with a double superkick by Fox and Rush. Meanwhile, Fox and Rush took each other out with a double down clothesline. All three men staggered to their feat as we got a blow-for-blow exchange of strikes from Rush, Fox, and Andretti. Fox blasted both Andretti and Rush with big boots, but the low-blow by Action took him out. Shotgun dropkick by Andretti, but he couldn’t connect, instead getting hit with the basement stunner followed by the submission hold. Fox slid in and broke the hold.
Fox was planted by the basement stunner from Rush, who was rolled up by Andretti for an unsuccessful kickout. Rush eventually took advantage and finished off Andretti with the Black Thunder Bomb to become the new ROH World TV Champion.
Winner: “Blackheart” Lio Rush via Pinfall to become the new ROH World Television Champion.
Viva Van & Lacey Lane vs. Red Velvet & Thunder Rosa
With the Code of Honor adhered, this tag match got underway with Red and Viva starting it off. The two dueled with shoulder blocks, but it was Viva who won out. Eventually, all four women were in the ring as Lacey and Viva got Rosa and Red with the stereo dropkicks. Red avoided calamity from Viva and Lacey’s double suplex as Rosa tagged in and hit legal woman Lacey Lane with thunderous chops. Arm drag by Rosa was followed by a wristlock takeover. Lacey hit Rosa with a jumping dropkick as Viva tagged in and the two hit a nice double team move on Rosa.
Rolling heel kick by Viva on Rosa got a two-count. Rosa recovered and got two for the price of one with the crossbody on Viva and Lacey. Rosa had Lacey isolated and went after her with more chops to the chest. Irish whip to the home corner was followed by the clothesline to Lacey and the tag to Red. Lacey found herself completely isolated by Rosa and Red. Diving dropkick to a stunned Lacey wasn’t enough to pick up the victory. Blind tag by Red allowed her to hit Lacey with a DDT as Viva was forced to break up the count.
Lacey recovered and blasted Red with a kick to the face followed by a unique Spicolli Split to the ROH World TV Champion. Rosa broke it up as things broke down a bit. Superkick by Lacey on Red nearly got the win. The tag to Viva as the Ocean Cyclone attempt was turned into a backfist. Second attempt was successful, but Rosa blind tagged and it led to the Tijuana Bomb and the win for the veterans.
Winner: Red Velvet & Thunder Rosa via Pinfall.
Diamante vs. Maika
Athena’s head minion was here to take on a former STARDOM Champion in Maika.
Match got underway with a collar-and-elbow tieup struggle between Maika and Diamante. Takedown by Diamante was followed by the spin after Maika hit the mat. Maika responded with a running shoulder block on Diamante as she soon found herself pulled down by the hair afterwards. Boot to the gut of Maika was followed by Diamante’s DDT for the two-count. Diamante hit Maika with a rebound elbow smash as she kept the advantage on her foe. Diamante transitioned the headscissors into a side Russian legsweep on Maika for a near-fall.
The Kawada kicks by Diamante on Maika was followed by a side headlock. Maika attempted to break out, and did so as she hit a dropkick to the hips of Diamante. Stalling suplex by Maika was escaped by Diamante, but the powerslam made no mistake. Sliding clothesline to Diamante from Maika as she got the crowd going. Front facelock from Maika into the stalling suplex for the two. Diamante escaped Maika’s sleeper with a rake to the eyes, but paid for it with a misdirection lariat. Diamante countered Maika with the bridging German suplex for the near-fall. Dragon sleeper countered into a discus lariat. Maika then got the win with a Michinoku Driver, paying homage to her mentor, Taka Michinoku.
Winner: Maika via Pinfall.

This was a match contested on last week’s CMLL Friday night show.
Our ROH World Title match kicked off with Guevara riling up the Arena Mexico crowd as Los Villanos tried to get cheers in response. As the match got proper, Villano III and Guevara kicked it off with some acrobatic action. Villano III and Guevara traded acrobatic dodges as “Tres” landed on his feet after a hurricanrana. Guevara returned it in kind with a similar popout. Evenly matched until Mortos headbutted Villano III. “Tres Junior” tried to use his speed, but was grounded by a pounce from Mortos. The ROH World Tag Champions kept targeting Tres Junior as Guevara headed to the top rope, but he just stepped down for the stomp. Tres tried to join the fight, but he was knocked down. Tres Junior was left alone and stomped on by Guevara and Mortos.
Mortos wiped out on the running kneein the corner as Tres avoided it. The leap to Guevara by Tres, while Tres Junior hit the spinning springboard dive on Mortos. Back in the ring, Los Villanos had Mortos stunned with the double stomp that sent the beast rolling out of the ring. Guevara was left alone as the Villano brothers took turns in relishing the chops to the chest of one of AEW’s Pillars. Outside the ring and on the ramp, Los Villanos carried Guevara on both their shoulders and and launched him right onto Mortos on the elevated ramp below.
Mortos hit a double clothesline on both Villanos after rolling over the two brothers. This opened them up to an over-the-top rope dive to the outside. Mortos followed that with a tornillo plancha through the ropes on the recovering Villanos. Inside the ring, Guevara hit Tres with a cutter as Tres Jr. responded with the hurricanrana driver. Tres Jr. found himself caught into the Argentinian Backbreaker and the fierce lariat. Pop-up to Tres, but Mortos was flattned by the DDT. Tres was taken down by the springboard cutter from Guevara. Tres Jr. hit Mortos with a kick as he headed to the top rope and attempted a high-risk move. Mortos recovered and threw him for the avalanche body press. The cover as Guevara hit Tres with the Mexican Destroyer at the same time. Tres Jr. kicked out at two.
Tres found himself in an untenable position as the Doomsday Device was seemingly on target. Tres avoided at the last second as he and Tres Jr. nearly got the win on the double tandem move. Near fall as Guevara and Mortos kicked out at the same time. On opposite corners, the Villanos’ high risk moves failed as Tres Jr. soon found himself a victim of a pop-up Samoan Drop, followed by a Mortos tornillo moonsault for the three.
Winner: La Faccion Ingobernables via Pinfall to retain the ROH World Tag Team Championship.
AEW International Championship
Lee Johnson vs. Konosuke Takeshita (c)
Both men went for their best shots, but couldn’t hit the mark as the bell rang. Side headlock takeover by Takeshita as Johnson escaped it not long after with the stalemate evident between the two. Johnson offered the handshake, but Takeshita anticipated the cheapshot and grabbed the boot of Johnson. However, Johnson got Takeshita with the shotgun dropkick as he followed that with the tope suicida from inside to outside the ring.
Johnson targeted Takeshita with boots, but that seemed to only anger the AEW International Champion. Takeshita answered with punches to the face in the corner, but Johnson threw him into the opposite corner with enough fore to keep the champ reeling. Chops to the corner by Johnson as he followed it up with the elbow to a downed Takeshita. The chinlock by Johnson on Takeshita was eventually broken out of. The wristlock takeover was then followed by the big boot and the corkscrew clothesline from Takeshita. The slam from the International Champion as he looked to go up top, but the left knee gave out on him. This gave Johnson enough time to recover and avoid Takeshita’s diving attack. Running boot into the corner and a half-and-half suplex from Johnson, but Takeshita countered with a boot and suplex of his own.
Both men struggled to their feet as Takeshita and Johnson traded strike with neither gaining an upper hand. Superkick blocked by Takeshita as he hit Johnson with the elbow. Raging Fire reversed into the poison rana by Johnson. That didn’t seem to slow Takeshita down as he came back immediately with a vicious lariat. Takeshita in the corner and his power knee was turned into a pin attempt by Johnson. Cutter by Johnson as he hit the kick and the brainbuster for an incredibly close 2.9999999 near-fall.
Johnson attempted to lift Takeshita up for a powerbomb, but he couldn’t hit it. Blue Thunder Bomb by Takeshita on Johnson was followed by the Power Drive Knee and the three.
Winner: Konosuke Takeshita via Pinfall to retain the AEW International Championship.

The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal & Blake Christian) & RPG Vice (Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta) vs. Mistico, “Speedball” Mike Bailey, & The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum)
Mistico and Romero taunted to the crowd to start with the former getting cheered and the latter getting booed. Romero and Beretta tried to leave, but got admonished. As the match officially opened, Mistico and Romero started with a technical pace. The arm wrench by Romero on Mistico, but the CMLL World Light Heavyweight Champion got out of it with a snapmare. Headscissors sent Romero out as The Lethal Twist and Beretta attacked Mistico while taking his partners out. This unusual alliance had Mistico isolated with the basketball starting lineup clotheslines, but Speedball and the Outrunners stormed in to even the odds.

Now Speedball entered the match with the tag. The speedy Canadian pasted Beretta with kicks, but he missed with the standing shooting star press. Suplex by Beretta went nowhere as Speedball connected with the standing shooting star. The heels broke up the pin and proceeded to isolate Speedball. Mistico came in for the save with the flying headscissors and the dive to the outside to Romero.
The Lethal Twist planted Speedball with the cutter as they mocked the Outrunners’ handshake, which prompted Truth and Turbo to pull them out of the ring and brawl to the back. In the ring, Beretta was hit with a big boot and a triangle moonsault from Speedball. RPG Vice got hit by a high crossbody from Mistico. Romero fell victim to La Mistica while Speedball channeled his inner Jonathan David and finished Beretta with the spinning kick for the win.

ROH Women’s World Championship
Syuri vs. Athena (c)
The Global Wars got underway with Syuri and Athena in a technical battle, but it was the challenger who seemed to have her opponent’s number early on. Athena went for the side headlock, but Syuri got out of it and hit her with the armdrag. Dropkick to the corner by Syuri as she followed that with a hurricanrana. On the apron, Syuri hit Athena with repeated kicks to the back of the head, but the “Forever Champion” hit her with a nice scoop slam to the hardest part of the ring.
At ringside, Athena remained ruthless and threw Syuri into the barricades twice as she yelled at Aubrey Edwards. Back in the ring, the senton by Athena wasn’t enough to put Syuri away, but the ROH Women’s Champion maintained her advantage. She wore down Syuri with an inside grapevine sleeper, but that hold was broken up. Headscissors by Syuri, but Athena landed on her feet. However, the champ couldn’t avoid the codebreaker by Syuri. The battle spilled onto the elevated ramp as Syuri attempted a DDT. Athena caught Syuri and hit her with a Samoan Drop slam onto the steel ramp. As the action returned to the ring, Athena placed Syuri in tree of woe position and pasted her with a sliding kick to the face. The cover, but Syuri kicked out at two.

Syuri went for the cover, but Athena kicked out at two. Rolling sweep by Athena to Syuri as she hit her with a running knee for another kickout. On the top rope, Syuri hit Athena with a suplex followed by the hammerlock on the landing. Syuri transitioned that into the Kimura stretch, but Athena got a foot on the rope to break the submission. Athena hit Syuri with a big kick, but she fell victim to the standing octopus submission. Athena turned that into a facebuster. As Syuri kicked out, she again trapped Athena in an armbar. The triangle choke was powered out by Athena, who dumped Syuri over the ropes. But, Syuri refused to let go of the hold. Athena responded by powerbombing her out on the ground. Syuri still wasn’t letting go, even as Athena again tried to power out of the hold. Syuri turned that into a satellite DDT as both her and Athena were down outside the ring.
Aubrey Edwards counted both women down to twenty, but Athena and Syuri got back in time as the two got to their feet. It was an exchange of strikes between and Athena and Syuri, but it was the IWGP Women’s Champion who got the best of it. German suplex by Syuri to Athena, as she went for the kick. Athena dodged it and hit a German suplex of her own. Syuri instantaneously recovered and got Athena with the swingout slam. One, two…. 2.9999999999!!!!!!!!!!!!! Syuri hoisted Athena up, but couldn’t nail the powerbomb. However, she got all of that knee to the face of Athena. Kick to the head forced Athena to the ropes, but she got hit with an elbow to the face. Athena slid in between Syuri’s legs and got her with the pumphandle toomstone piledriver. This led to the O-Face as the “Forever Champion” prevailed in a fantastic ROH Womens’ World Title main event.
