Our show opened with Shane Taylor Promotions assembled, with the group’s namesake boasting the greatness of Men’s Pure Champion Lee Moriarty, Trish Adora, and Tehuti Miles. With that, we went to the show open as Tony Schiavone and Paul Wight welcomed us to the action from Miami, FL.
“Main Man” Oro vs. Bishop Kaun
No Code of Honor handshake to start as Kaun and Oro got into it with a tie-up. Oro got out of Kaun’s grip with a kick to the wrist. Collar-and-elbow tie-up, as Kaun transitioned it into a sideheadlock, then a hammerlock. Oro responded with a pair of armdrags, but Kaun used his power to stop the momentum. Oro found himself on the apron as he headed to the top rope, but Kaun intercepted him. Big vertical suplex by Kaun absolutely flattened Oro. Chop to the chest from Kaun, who Paul Wight noted sounded like a “DC Comics character on his name alone”. Kaun looked for a suplex, but Oro got out of it. Kick to the wrist, followed by a spinning kick from Oro to Kaun. The big man responded with a sliding dropkick that sent Oro out of the ring. At ringside, Kaun threw Oro into the barricades repeatedly, followed by a most-painful throw to the steel steps.
With a full head of speed, Kaun ran around ringside and hit a dropkick on Oro that sent him back first into the steel steps. The cover in the ring, but Oro kicked out. Kaun with the waistlock firmly cinched in, but Oro got out of it by backing his foe into the corner repeatedly. Oro missed with the kick, but Kaun missed the back elbow. Oro hit a unique variation of the Pele kick to floor Kaun. The two traded chops and strikes, but Oro got the best of it with a release german suplex. Neckbreaker, but that got a two-count.
Oro struck out with the forearm as Kaun slammed him with an overhead slam, but that wasn’t enough for the win. Oro got thrown across the ring as Bishop Kaun hit him with the lungblower knee. Gutbuster from Kaun, followed by the facebuster finisher and this one’s done.
Winner: Bishop Kaun via Pinfall.
After the match, Kaun beat up on Oro some more until Bandido ran in to chase him off.
The Rascalz (Zachary Wentz & Dezmond Xavier) vs. Cole Radrick & Matt Diesel
Xavier and Radrick kicked off this tag team match. Side headlock by Xavier locked in, as he then hit Radrick with a punch to the gut, followed by the single-leg dropkick. Wentz tagged in and hit the slide tackle on Radrick as Wentz buckled up for the Bronco Buster in the Rascalz’s corner. Radrick finally managed to tag Diesel in, but he got hit with the tornillo from Wentz. Jawbreaker from Diesel followed by the dropkick allowed him to tag Radrick into the match.
Radrick struck Wentz in the back of the head with a clothesline, but he couldn’t capitalize as Wentz managed to get out of enemy territory to tag Xavier in. Big cutter by Xavier on Radrick as he sent Diesel over the top rope. Running uppercut to Radrick by Xavier was followed by a combo strike that ended with a dropkick to the back. Tag to Wentz as the Rascalz hit a little shock and awe on Diesel and Radrick. Hot Fire Flame by Wentz got the three here.
Winner: The Rascalz via Pinfall.
Six-Man Tag Team Match
Premier Athletes (Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese) & BEEF vs. Dark Order (Preston Vance, Alex Reynolds, & Evil Uno)
This match started off the Jacksonville leg of matches for tonight’s show, and as such, we went to the great Ian Riccaboni & Caprice Coleman for the call.
Vance was back in his Dark Order for this match.
Nese and Reynolds started this six-man bout off with a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Hammerlock by Reynolds, but Nese turned that around. Very technical start as Reynolds turned a snapmare into a crucifix pin for an early attempt for the win.
Whip into the corner, but Reynolds leapt above Nese’s sweep. He slid under Nese, eventually hitting the back elbow, followed by the knee to the face. Tag to Evil Uno saw a backscratcher from Mr. Mystery Wrestling himself. The Athletes got the advantage as Daivari tagged in and applied the side headlock. Uno got out of it and floored Daivari with the shoulder tackle. Uno blocked Daivari’s kick and had referee Stephon Smith hold the leg of Daivari, allowing Uno to connect with the neckbreaker. Vance tagged in, which caused Daivari to tag in meat and it must be time for some Prime-Grade Big Meaty Men Slapping Meat. because here we go.
Vance went fort the shoulder tackles to Beef, but he couldn’t knock him off his feet, one final try did the trick, as did the hamhock of a front forearm strike. Suplex attempt by Vance, but Daivari and Nese stepped in… but we got Reynolds and Uno getting them in position and we had a three-fer suplex symphony courtesy of the Dark Order. The Athletes and Beef were left reeling at ringside as Uno hit Beef with the big boot. Mark Sterling tried to get invovled, but it allowed the Premier Athletes and Beef to take advantage to assault Uno three-on-one. In the ring, Beef hit Uno with a headbutt and threw him into the opposite corner to knock him down.
Beef looked for a tag, but Daivari and Nese didn’t seem to be in a hurry to tag in. That allowed Uno to create some separation, but not enough as Nese finally got in to stop him. Beef threw Daivari and Nese consecutively to Uno in the corner before he hit the big man with a press. The cover, but the Dark Order broke up the pin. The Athletes maintained control with a double team, but Uno pulled a reverse Uno (quite literally) with a double DDTG. That allowed Vance to enter with the hot tag. Clotheslines were the order of the day for the Athletes and Beef, as were the big boots to the corner by Vance. Big slams for Nese and Daivari, while Beef got the spinebuster treatement from Vance. Sterling pulled at Vance’s foot, but that didn’t seem to help as Beef got hit with the slingshot spear for the cover. Nese came in to break up the count.
Nese landed his feet on a Vance suplex, but he got hit with a DDT from Uno. Spear by Daivari took Uno, but Reynolds got him. Mark Sterling tried to get involved with the armbrace, but that earned him a Full Nelson punishment from Vance. Roll-up by Beef, but he couldn’t capitalize as Vance kicked out. Full Nelson cinched in on Beef, and that was enough for the duke for the Dark Order.
Winner: Dark Order via Pinfall.

Zayda Steel vs. Xanti Li
Xanti backed Zayda into the ropes to start as the two exchanged collar-and-elbow tie-ups. Kick to the midsection by Xanti led to the side headlock takeover. Zayda countered that into a pin attempt that only got a two. Wristlock battle between Xanti and Zayda, but the latter had the upper hand out of it. Xanti turned it around, but couldn’t capitalize. Standing switches on the waistlock, but Xanti connected with the drop toehold followed by the dropkick. Zayda with the armlock takeover into the armbar as she picked up speed with a pair of dropkicks that sent Xanti to the apron.
Xanti fought back with a kick as she sent Zayda headfirst into the apron to take advantage. Throw to the barricade left Zayda in a bad way as Xanti got a bit of a breather back in the ring. Zayda got back into the ring and struck back, but she missed with the running knee, as Xanti threw her across the ring. Choke with the foot to Zayda by Xanti, followed by a rather unique split-legged choke across the bottom rope on her opponent. Xanti’s charging attack was intercepted by Zayda, who sent her out of the ring. Zayda bashed Xanti’s faces across the apron repeatedly, as she got the momentum with a series of hairmare slams. Knees to the face by Zayda to Xanti, but that got a two-count.
Xanti pulled her best Dracula impression by biting at Zayda as she then got her with the superkick for the close two-count. Xanti’s overzealous piefacing came back to haunt her as Zayda fought back and connected with the spinning modified Killswitch for the victory.

We heard for Il Cartello Grillo, who were sharing a joke, we’re gonna see them in action up next.
Il Cartello Grillo (KayJay Impala & Hayden Seal) vs. The Swirl (Blake Christian & Lee Johnson)
The Swirl are set to compete in NJPW’s Super Junior Tag League in the B Block starting this Saturday, so this was a bit of a final tune-up being a part of that illustrious tournament.
Johnson and Christian didn’t waste time in attacking Impala and Seal to get the early advantage. Johnson threw Seal into the barricade at ringside, while Impala tried to fight back, but he fell early to the double team prowess of the Swirl Seal tried to get back in, but the fast-paced offense of Christian and Johnson let him flat-footed. Standing moonsault by Johnson on Seal got a two-count while Christian took out Impala with a triangle moonsault at ringside. Back in the ring, Johnson took his time in playing with his prey as Christian tagged in and hit Seal with a very hard chop to the chest. Arm submission by Christian on Seal was punctuated by literally biting the hand that feeds. Throw into the barricade as Christian stomped away on Seal at ringside.
The tag to Johnson, who continued to isolate Seal from his partner successfully. Another tag to Christian, but the Swirl’s attempt at a double team led to a sunset flip from Seal for a two-count. Leapfrog to over Johnson allowed the tag to Impala. Big running shoulder atttacks to the corners by Impala as he sent Christian into Johnson. Impala with the massive spinning powerbomb on Johnson wasn’t enough to get the three. The Swirl picked up speed as Christian hit the low tiger feint kick on Impala, followed by a Johnson dropkick. That led to the Double Stomp into the Spicolli Driver for a statement win.
Winner: The Swirl via Pinfall.

Mina Shirakawa vs. Isla Dawn
Isla got in Shirakawa’s face to start as she applied the collar-and-elbow tie-up. She pushed Shirakawa into the ropes and slapped her in the face. The two exchanged kicks to the hip, but it was Shirakawa who gained the upper hand. In the corner, Shirakawa whipped Isla to the corner, but her attempted attack from the top rope was blocked with a kick to the head.
Shirakawa found herself on the wrong end of a foot choke from Isla, as well as the standing dragon sleeper on the apron. Isla kept the momentum going with kicks to the chest of Shirakawa, but her foe responded with some kicks of her own. Big lariat by Isla got a two-count as Shirakawak kicked out. Isla applied a seated Cobra Clutch on Shirakawa, but she couldn’t keep the hold on tight. Roll-up, but no three. Faceplant headscissors from Shirakawa created some needed separation for her against Isla. Running attack to the corner followed by the elevated DDT from the top ropes. The cover, but Isla kicked out.
Shirakawa continued to target the hamstring of Isla, but she struck out on the running kick like pitchers facing Bryan Baker in the ALCS. Shirakawa connected with the German suplex that left her and Isla down. Both women got to their feet and traded bombs, with neither getting the upper hand. Shirakawa took over with the trip, followed by the tornillo press from the apron for a two-count. Shirakawa headed up top and launched herself at Isla with a splash to the outside. Shirakawa went up top, but Isla intercepted her and threw her back down to Earth. The Shining Wizard to the back of Shirakawa’s head only got a two for Isla. Back suplex from Isla was followed up by the knee to the face of Shirakawa. Isla placed her foe up the top turnbuckle looking for a big high-risk move. Shirakawa battled out of it and then hit the top-rope shotgun dropkick. The cover, but Isla just kicked out at 2.9999999999999. Shirakawa sized up her foe with the discus punch and the backfist. She looked for the figure-four, but Isla countered it into a roll-up for the near-fall. Knee to the face by Isla, but Shirakawa rolled through of the waistlock into a figure-four leglock. As she rolled herself and Isla to the middle of the ring, Shirakawa got the win by way of tapout.
Winner: Mina Shirakawa via Pinfall.
ROH Pure Championship
Mance Warner vs. Lee Moriarty (c)
60-minute time limit and Pure rules in full effect here.
Side headlock takeover by Moriarty to start as he kept the lock held tight until Mance fought out of it. Hip toss attempt blocked by Moriarty as he applied the cross armbreaker on Mance. That led to the first rope break being used by Mance as he had no way of escaping the hold. Wristlock takeover by Moriarty after Mance spit in his hand and shined his hair. Mance thought about throwing a punch and breaking the hold with a ropebreak, but he got out of it without having to do that. A very impressive transition into a crossface by Mance forced Moriarty to use up his first ropebreak. Midsection shot by Mance was followed by the forearm. The cover close to the ropes led to Mance smartly putting Moriarty’s foot on the rope, which was counted as a rope break against the Men’s Pure Champion.
Moriarty got out of the ten-punch on of Mance by driving him into the turnbuckle, which sent the challenger out of the ring. Mance stumbled into the ring, having been busted open by that shot into the turnbuckle. Moriarty literally smelled blood and kept after the attack on Mance with the snapmare, followed by the twist of the neck. Moriarty applied the straitjacket stretch on Mance, who was busted wide open. Mance muscled his way out of it and tried his own straitjacket stretch. Moriarty used his flexibility to get out of it and cause Mance to back into the ropes to use his second rope break. In the corner, Moriarty threw Mance into it, but missed on the forearm. Mance got a bit of speed in the clothesline, followed by the big boot. A very bloodied Mance got himself to his feet and battered Moriarty in the corner with a forearm and a chop. On the top rope, Mance lifted Moriarty for a gigantic superplex. The cover… One, two… NO!!!!!!!!!!
Mance rolled out of the ring and looked for a chair and brought it into the ring. He teased using it, but he just opened it up and sat on it to apply a chinlock. The referee pulled out the chair, which gave Moriarty the opportunity to apply the sleeper hold. Big boot was followed by the Taigastyle slam. Border City Stretch applied, but Mance got out it. The Cobra Stretch held by Moriarty as Mance was used his third and final ropebreak. Knife-edge chops from the champ only got Mance hyped up as he hit his own combos. That led to the crossface, which led to Moriarty with no more rope breaks to use in this war of attrition. Waistlock turned into a trap pin, but both men had to kick out at two with. Big popup headbutt by Mance sent Moriarty out of the ring. Mance again opened up the chair and used it as a platform to catapult himself into a tornado DDT on Moriarty.
Back inside the ring, Mance unfurled his knee and hit the big running knee. The knockout blow? No, as Moriarty just kicked out with 13 minutes passed in this match. Chickenwing choke by Mance as Moriarty used the ropes to escape. He smartly turned that into a rope-assisted hammerlock, as Mance was left with no other choice to tap out with 46:58 left on the clock. One hell of a match.
Winner: Lee Moriarty via Submission to retain the ROH Pure Championship.
Our show ended with Moriarty shaking Mance’s hand and leaving victorious.
