======

⭐️Kayhan: Caprice called them Koopas from Mario😆… Apparently Rocky & Homicide were in the Rotweillers… Weird to bring Homicide in to put these guys over. But if he’s down🤷‍♂️… I see they hinted at at Lio & Action maybe winning both AEW & ROH tag titles. I think they should be on featured on AEW considering they been showcased there. So I’m a little critical of this.

(4) Sons of Texas

-Footage is shown from after Final Battle of Dustin and Sami extremely proud after defeating the Righteous. Address the House of Torture’s promo from Final Battle. Sons of Texas accept House of Torture’s challenge for ROH Tag Title match at Wrestle Dynasty this Sunday at the Tokyo Dome.

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: Fine match to kill some time, but i’m not too into anything QT. He can do all the moves and recite lines but he seems disingenuous to me. I know he’s the teacher, supposedly, but I wish someone would teach him so we can actually have some entertainment on our TVs.
