⭐️Kayhan: I’m glad they finally got something going with these two. I was pushing for them to get some kinda angle. They were just the most boring bland cookie cutter babyfaces imaginable. The heel turn is a welcome change. Let’s see if any interesting feuds arise from this. 

(3) Shane Taylor

-Video package has Shane Taylor cutting a promo. He’s says they’re coming for all the gold.

⭐️Kayhan: Nice promo. Shane Taylor out here saying that people say some pretty racist things to him? Who said all that. They should be cancelled… But i think it’s time for a Shane Taylor World Title run! Why they keep giving it to Jericho?! This is the man that deserves it!… That, or at least maybe another TV Title run.

(4) Shibata, Tommy Billington, Premiere Atheletes

-Shibata and Billington, opponents this past Friday, now team up to defeat Premiere Atheletes in tag action.

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: Get this guy off my screen. Not my ROH World Champion! It should be Shane Taylor!

(9) Athena, Lexi Nair, Billie Starkz

-Footage is shown from Final Battle Media Scrum where Athena promised to expel a minion on HonorClub.

-Out in the ring, Athena teased expelling Billie Starkz but instead kicked out Lexi Nair for shortcomings this past Friday at Final Battle. Lexi is distraught and leaves upset. 

🌪️REVIEWS🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👎

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: Very long drawn out segment for something that’s just really dumb overall. I hope Lexi is out of this program because it don’t make no sense seeing her interview people for AEW while she’s a heel on ROH. 

(10) Komander, Johnny TV

-Komander defeats Johnny TV to retain ROH TV Title. 

🌪️REVIEWS🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: Well. The initial good feeling of seeing Komander win a title because he’s a hard worker has dissipated, and we are back to having the issue that Komander just isn’t that interesting. If he’s just going to have matches like this it’s not gonna make for a fun title run. I kinda want someone to jump him backstage and have him have to overcome injury to win. Something like that. Anything other than him just reciting all the moves he knows in every gosh darn match.
