⭐️Kayhan: “Buncha name teams here. Not surprising they went with Undisputed Kingdom but that group has been ruined and mangled. Difficult to support any type of push for them considering how badly their careers have been ruined by their time in AEW. So no Thumbs up from me here. "

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “One of the only programs I’m actually slightly even interested in here in ROH. To me, the post match attack not a bad follow up to last weeks melee. I think the Righteous deserve a little ROH tag title run. They did the job to MJF in a handicap match last year. They’re work has been pretty solid in the ring. Bangin gimmick. Why not?”

=====

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “ok. Well. Slightly interesting that Presten Vance got a new tag partner. Saw him try teaming with Pretty Peter Avalon last time? If that’s the angle here, that Vance is trying out different partners, I don’t think it’s that creative. More likely it’s just TK trying to shoehorn people onto the show.”

4) Shane Taylor Promotions Video Package

ONE SEGMENT (0:42)

⭐️Kayhan: “Not much here today. I appreciate reminding the audience of recent events in case people missed it. So I won’t say I didn’t like this.”

5) Shibata Picks Up Win Over Aaron Solo

ONE SEGMENT (5:45)

-Match: Aaron Solo vs Katsuyori Shibata... winner: Shibata by submission

🌍SUMMARY🌏

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Eh. I guess Shibata needs to stay involved. Givin him a win to look strong. Ok. But it would be nicer if he was somehow involved in something on the main AEW show. Maybe he could be invested in Danie Garcia’s feud with Jack perry. This is was just filler to put something in front of an audience. Nothing interesting about Aaron Solo lately either, although not for lack of air time."

=====

6) Managers Get Down As Alex Abrahantes Spears Mark Sterling, Clearing the Way For Komander To Defeat Premiere Athletes' Josh Woods

TWO SEGMENTS (9:24)

-Pre Match Segment: Mark Sterling promo

-Match: Josh Woods (w/Sterling) vs Komander (w/Abrahantes)... interference from Sterling... winner: Komander by pinfall

🌍SUMMARY🌏

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👎

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Man. Mark Sterling has to be the worst most buried manager I can ever remember. He always tries to cheat for his guys but they always lose everytime. This time he gets speared by Abrahantes. It’s theoretically a funny moment but I’m gonna give this a 👎 just based on how trash Premiere Athletes have been presented as, and therefore there’s no heat whatsoever. So no one cares about Mark Sterling getting embarrassed every damn show."

=====

7) Viva Van Does Not Follow Code of Honor, Slapping Abadon To Start Match... Abadon Prevails

ONE SEGMENT (5:25)

-Match: Abadon vs Viva Van... winner: Abadon by pinfall

🌍SUMMARY🌏

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “First thing i have some type of positive rating for on this episode. I liked Viva Van disrespecting the code of honor and Abadon with the slap. But then she just lost real quick. So idk about that. I kinda thought Viva Van was gonna start getting a little push. But I guess Abadon getting a win and staying somehow relavent meant more to TK here."

=====

8) Laila Grey Interrupts Athena's Minion Drama To Challenge Athena... Proving Ground Match Set Up For Next Week

ONE SEGMENT (2:29)

-Backstage Segment: Lexi Nair, Billie Starkz... enter Athena... enter Laila Grey

🌍SUMMARY🌏

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👎

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Been disliking the Athena drama with Billie for a while now. This storyline has jumped the shark. Wish they would move on from it somehow. Also not interested in Laila Grey challenging Athena. She hasn’t won any of her matches lately. So no real challenge there. I could see Athena trying to give a run and give her the Proving Ground match. Maybe. But that’s about it.”

=====

9) Intense Feud Comes To a Head As Red Velvet Takes Down Diamante in Street Fight to Retain ROH TV Title

TWO SEGMENTS (13:55)

-Replay: Diamante getting DQd against Red Velvet last month, Velvet attacking Diamante last Thursday on ROH

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “If these girls wanna go out there and kill each other for the live audience, feel free. But I thought it was wasted. I’m following this show close as hell and it was hard for me to remember the staggered events that lead up to this. They could have promoted it throughout the show with a couple of promos and a review package. Didn’t feel any kind of importance heading in and didn’t feel the hatred."
