ROH Spoilers for the 6/15 and 6/22 episodes. Spoilers are presented in the order they are taped.
No Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman, or Nigel McGuinness for live commentary.
Tony Khan came out to talk to the crowd mentioning New Japan’s Dominion and puts over the crowd for being hot and that these are some of the most fun shows the roster enjoys to take part in.
Match 1) Mark Briscoe defeated Anthony Henry (with JD Drake) via Jay Driller in a little over seven minutes.
Match 2) Action Andretti, AR Fox, and Darius Martin defeated The Trustbusters (Jeeves Kay, Slim J, and Sonny Kiss) via a double team move on Jeeves from Andretti/Darius in a little over six minutes.
Match 3) Matt Sydal defeated Zack Clayton (with Cole Karter) via a Meteora in a little under three minutes. Sydal took a mic after and called out Samoa Joe for a TV Title shot.
In a dark promo, Tony Khan came out again. He would like to confirm tonight it will be Samoa Joe vs. Matt Sydal later tonight for the ROH TV title for “next week.” Tony also mentions a Board of Directors coming for ROH. He introduced Stokely Hathaway and Jerry Lynn as members of it. They will have matchmaking and ruling authority that can only be overruled by Tony Khan.
Match 4) Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona (with Prince Nana) defeated Cheeseburger, Eli Isom, and Marcus Kross in a Proving Ground Match in about four minutes via an assisted powerbomb by all three on Marcus.
Match 5) The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett [with Maria Kannelis-Bennett]) defeated El Cobarde and El Dragon via Proton Pack on Cobarde in about six minutes. At some point, Mike Bennett was cut during the match and bled a lot that required a lot of clean up after the match.
Match 6) Kiera Hogan defeated Robyn Renegade in about four minutes. Charlette Renegade tried to do the switch with Robyn but Kiera beat them both up. After the match, ROH Women’s Champion Athena attacked Kiera with a kendo stick. Kiera got the upper hand and attacked Athena with it until Athena left up the ramp.
Match 7) Skye Blue defeated Viva Van in a little over four minutes.
Match 8) The Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds, and John Silver) defeated Shane Taylor and The Workhorsemen (Anthony Henry and JD Drake) via double team by Reynolds and Silver on Drake in about seven minutes.
Match 9) Mercedes Martinez defeated Vertvixen via Brass City Sleeper in about four minutes. Vertvixen also had a video screen and did not enter already in the ring.
Before the next match, Tony Nese (with Mark Sterling and Ari Daivari) took a microphone. He says he and Ari Daivari have been trying to earn the fans’ respect but he said the problem is they are not relatable and they don’t want to be fat disgusting pieces of trash like all the fans. As personal trainers, they decided they will turn everybody into Varsity Athletes like them. He said he spoke to the people in the back and they will put all of the wrestling on hold and instead we are going to do a group exercise and asks all the fans to get on their feet and to do some stretching. And then touch toes if any of them can see them followed up by a squat (what they do after eating 20 hot dogs.) Spanish Announce Project’s music hit and Serpentico came out.
Match 10) Tony Nese (with Mark Sterling and Ari Daivari) defeated Serpentico in about six minutes.
Match 11) Lee Moriarty defeated Griff Garrison via a trapping pin in about four to five minutes. Griff entered second to his own music and video.
Tony Khan comes out with Stokely and Jerry. Tony commends Stokely for coming up with some cost savings but Tony says he won’t be doing mass layoffs. He asks about an idea he had for The Embassy. Stokely says because Action Andretti is bragging about the Jericho win, he proposes Andretti versus the entire Embassy. Tony says what about instead doing the Embassy defending against Action Andretti, Darius Martin, and AR Fox. Stokely says Tony did not let him finish. Tony mentions the idea of having no more lucha libre on the show ever. Stokely says we all have hits and misses. Tony mentions Bandido and introduces Bandido’s brother Gravity. He says Gravity’s opponent will be one of the co-holders of the ROH tag team titles and introduces Rey Fenix.
Match 12) Rey Fenix (with Alex Abrahantes) defeated Gravity in almost eleven minutes via Fenix Driver. Fenix went down to ringside and shook LSG’s hand who was working as bell keeper during the show and hugged Gravity in the ring.
This appeared to be the end of the first episode but could be mistaken.
Match 13) Nick Comoroto defeated Deimos (with Teal Piper) after an Alabama Slam with the ropes for leverage on the pinfall in about five minutes.
Match 14) The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch [with Stu Grayson]) defeated Dalton Castle and The Boys via a triple team move on a Boy in about six to seven minutes. Dalton at one point went for a dive between the lower and middle rope and his foot caught the ropes and he may have crashed hard down on the floor. He needed to be helped to the back.
Match 15) Samoa Joe retained the ROH TV Championship over Matt Sydal via Muscle Buster in almost seven minutes.
Match 16) Miranda Alize defeated Notorious Mimi in about three minutes via a running leg lariat while Mimi was grounded.
Match 17) Iron Savages (with Jacked Jameson) defeated Tracy Williams and Rhett Titus via double team move and pinfall on Tracy in about four to five minutes.
Match 18) Dralistico (with Jose The Assistant) defeated Willie Mack in about seven to eight minutes. Willie set Dralistico up for the Chocolate Thunder Bomb but Jose jumped on the apron. Dralistico kicked Willie below the belt and hit a running knee for the win.
Match 19) Willow Nightingale defeated Rachel Ellering to retain the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship via Camel Clutch. Rachel wasn’t properly given a ring introduction and will likely have to be edited in in post production.
Match 20) Kyle Fletcher defeated Christopher Daniels via Tombstone Piledriver in about eleven minutes.
Match 21) Diamante defeated Teal Piper (with Deimos) via submission in about four minutes. Teal had her own entrance and video screen.
Match 22) ROH Women’s Champion Athena defeated Trish Adora in a Proving Ground Match in about seven minutes via The O Face. Athena attacked Trish during the Code of Honor. She shoved Trish’s face into the title belt on the floor. Kiera Hogan’s music hit and she came to the ring with a trash can lid. Athena got the upper hand and bit Kiera with it until referees and security had to stop Athena. Athena laid out one of the security then Kiera hit Athena with the trash can lid. Kiera brought a table in the ring and laid out a security guy on the floor. Kiera set it up in the corner. Athena ended up spearing Kiera through the table. Both needed to be assisted to the back. Kiera stared down Athena from the stage as she was being helped out and yelled to Athena that this was not over. Athena tried to charge to the back but two referees stopped her.
Match 23) Brian Cage, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona (with Prince Nana) retained the ROH Six Man Titles over Action Andretti, AR Fox, and Darius Martin when Cage pinned Andretti after Weapon X in about ten minutes.
