**********

The show opened in the bathroom where Dalton Castle threatened to throw trash at Johnny TV and Taya Valkyrie unless his mysterious friend got a match against them. Jerry Lynn then made a match between the two for next week.

Angelico & Serpentico defeated Da Russell Twins (Allen & Kameron Russell)

Serpentico was wearing a new all-black mask after having had his other one stolen by Griff Garrison, Cole Karter and Maria Kanellis recently.

Angelico started things off with one of the Russell twins, catching him in a quick wrist lock. Serpentico tagged in and tried a quick cover, followed by the other Russell tagging in. The twins began working Serpentico in the corner and a hard hip toss by Russell #1 led to a quick nearfall.

The Russells get some offense in while Angelico anxiously waited on the outside. Serpentico hit a big elbow and Angelico got a hot tag. Angelico applied a leglock submission and Russell 1 quickly gave up.

After the match, Carter, Garrison and Kanellis came to the ramp to taunt Serpentico with the mask they stole.

Nyla Rose defeated Emmy Camacho

Camacho was dwarfed by Rose as the match started. Rose ragdolled her around the ring. Camacho did not get much offense in, and Nyla won in a quick squash.

Later in the show, Rose rolled up on Lexi Nair backstage looking for ROH Women's Champion Athena. Rose trashed Athena’s school, friends and skills before reassuring us that she is, in fact, the chaos.

The Iron Savages (Boulder & Bronson) and Jacked Jameson defeated KM, Jon Cruz & Brandon Hunter

The Savages arrived and ensured us all a trip to an interesting-sounding city. Hunter kicked things off with Jameson and nailed a pump handle slam. Bronson tagged in and military pressed Hunter who made a quick tag to KM after being dropped. Hunter tagged back in and got a clothesline from Boulder for his trouble. Cruz then tagged in and Boulder crushed him in the corner. The Iron Savages made a bunch of quick tags in order to confuse the ref and pull off a triple team. The Sauce Toss connected and the Savages took the win.

- Ethan Page gave an interview where he reiterated his promise to win the ROH TV title for his daughter, who also inspired his outfit. These promises matter to Page and he’s going to wear his current gear until he wins that title

Dalton Castle defeated Aaron Solo

Castle was brought to the ring on a catering cart, looking like he just woke up. His chest was also suspiciously unshaven. Solo started off well against the sluggish Castle, driving his head into the post as the two brawled outside. Castle reversed a whip and drove Solo into the ring. The two climbed back into the ring where Castle drove Solo into the turnbuckle. A series of spinning kicks from Solo dropped Castle who answered with a big clothesline. Momentum shifted into a Bangarang and the pin for Castle. The crowd clapped along to his theme song like they always do.

Backstage later on, Lexi Nair found Castle riding a janitor’s bucket. Castle babbled while she tried to get him to reveal who his “friend” is that will face Johnny TV next week. Castle didn’t give many clues, but did mention that his friend “doesn’t even go to this school” and is “new to wrestling.” Then he fell into a laundry cart and declared “I’m done.”

ROH Tag Team Champions The Undisputed Kingdom (Mike Bennett & Matt Taven) defeated Fred Rosser & Tom Lawlor in a Proving Ground match

Some pushing and shoving off the top between Rosser and Bennett started things off. Rosser threw Bennett in the corner and delivered some hard chops. Bennett battled back and threw his own shots on Rosser in the corner before Rosser tagged in Lawlor. Lawlor delivered a hard slam that led to a near fall. Taven tagged in and hit an Aurora Borealis, but it only led to a two count before he tagged Bennett back in.

Bennett and Lawlor traded shots into a German suplex from Bennett. There were hot tags all around as Rosser entered the fray and almost ate a double team from the champions. Rosser went for a quick pin on Taven that was broken up. Rosser and Lawlor hit double gutbusters, but could only get a near fall. Time ticked away as Lawlor and Rosser had a miscommunication and ended up hitting each other in the center of the ring.

Rosser tried to lock in a chicken wing, but caught a Boston Bayonet for his trouble. Bennett and Taven gained momentum back and hit their finisher on Rosser to get the win and dash the chances of Lawlor and Rosser getting a title shot.

Ethan Page defeated Slim J

Page entered the arena, but wasn’t happy with the reception he got so he entered again and was eventually satisfied. A hard shot from Page had J complaining to the ref, but there was no foul. A shoulder block from Page knocked J across the ring. He grabbed J in a stalling vertical suplex and slammed him to the ground. However, he bounced back and got some offense in, including some hard punches in the corner.

J hit an inverted Bulldog for a quick two count. J applied a sleeper, but Page fought back and backed him into the corner. After getting flipped by Page, J hit an enzuigiri and went to the top rope, but missed Page with a twisting dive. Page threw J high into the air and delivered a big boot, spinning J completely around.

Page’s power slam garnered a near fall, but not enough to end it. Back and forth, J managed to hit a flatliner, but only got a two count. Page fought back and nailed J with his Ego’s Edge for the win. putting him closer to that TV Title shot against Kyle Fletcher.

Billie Starkz defeated Killa Kate

Starkz looked serious early on as she refused to let the pace of the match dwindle. A quick sunset flip got her a two count. Back elbows from Kate dazed Starkz who quickly recovered and sent Kate to the corner. Kate reversed things and the two battled on the middle turnbuckle. Starkz eventually got Kate on her shoulders and delivered a modified Electric Chair for the win.

The Righteous (Vincent & Dutch) defeated The Infantry (Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo)

Dutch started by throwing his weight around with Bravo. A quick tag to Vincent led to a one count for Bravo. Dean took over and the fast-moving match continued with multiple two counts before Bravo was tagged back in. Dutch grabbed a blind tag and tripped Bravo from the outside. Bravo peppered Dutch with jabs and Dutch threw him to the corner where Vincent slammed him into the turnbuckle. He hit a side effect on Bravo for a two count before bringing Dutch back in.

Bravo was isolated as The Righteous beat him senseless before Dutch got a near fall broken up by Dean. Bravo battled back from a neck vice by Dutch and was rewarded with a bear hug. Dutch tried to drop the leg from the second turnbuckle, but missed Bravo. Dean got the hot tag and Vincent re-entered the match. A fast DDT from Dean led to a two count. The Infantry tried for a Boot Camp, but Vincent was able to duck it. Vincent hit an Orange Sunshine on Bravo that got The Righteous the win.

Queen Aminata defeated Reiza Clarke

Aminata hit a very hard elbow off the ropes early on. Both women exchanged moves in the corners, ending in a running knee from Aminata. Both women exchanged chops and were somewhat impressed by the other’s strength. Eventually, Aminata came through with a headbutt and quick kick to gain the momentum. A hard shot from Clarke put Aminata in the corner, but Clarke got caught in a drop toehold into the bottom turnbuckle which left her vulnerable to an Aminata double stomp from the top rope that got the Queen the win.

Bad Dude Tito defeated Gringo Loco

These two beefy dudes locked up and were pretty evenly matched in the opening minutes as they exchanged Lucha-style moves off the ropes. Eventually, Tito caught Loco in the corner and threw some hard chops. A t-bone suplex from Tito followed and he controlled much of the pace.

Tito challenged Loco to give him some hard chops and no-sold his efforts. A quick STF was locked in by Tito, but Loco was able to make it to the ropes to break the hold. Loco got Tito up on his shoulders and delivered an electric chair bomb. Loco climbed to the top rope and hit a moonsault onto Tito on the outside. Tito got back to his feet and dove through the ropes onto Loco.

The two rolled back into the ring and Tito climbed to the second rope. Loco joined him and the men exchanged blows. Loco hit a crazy top rope Spanish Fly, but it only resulted in a two-count. Tito responded with a blue thunder bomb and a two count of his own. Tito caught Loco on a jump from the second rope and hit his finisher for his first-ever ROH win.

Red Velvet defeated Kiera Hogan, Diamante and Trish Adora in a four-way

Earlier, Velvet said she’s feeling great and predicted that all eyes will be on her in the Women’s TV Title Tournament. The chef is always cooking.

Adora started off with a double clothesline to Hogan and Velvet as Diamante looked on. Diamante bounced back and forth between Hogan and Adora in opposite corners. Velvet went for a cover, but it was broken up by Adora. Adora hit a German suplex on Velvet, but only got a two count. Hogan then had her pin on Adora broken up by Velvet. A Russian leg sweep by Diamante on Adora led to another two count.
