ROH Women’s World Television Championship Tournament First Round Match
Queen Aminata vs. JRod

The contestants were pretty evenly matched in stature, so a lockup and trading of chops went in circles. Aminata got the first near fall, but things remained fairly even with the two women trading moves with equal offense until J-Rod went for a quick pin off of a suplex. She then tried to do push-ups on Aminata to get the pin. This was pretty insulting to Aminata, and she retaliated with some quick strikes.

The slow-moving match began to gain steam at the halfway point, the crowd rallying behind Aminata. A few quick exchanges of momentum and Aminata connected with a headbutt and got the pin to advance in the tournament.

Winner: Queen Aminata via Pinfall.

The Infantry (Capt. Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo) vs. Midnight Heat (Ricky Gibson & Eddie Pearl)

No entrance for the Midnight Heat and the match started with Pearl facing off against Dean. The crowd seemed a lot quieter than usual as the Midnight Heat walked through a double team on Bravo. A backbreaker off the top rope on Bravo woke them up though and the match began to find its footing. Throw in a couple of near falls by each team and some urgency started rearing it’s head.

Bravo sent Gibson to the outside and got a hot tag on Dean. He put both men down and hit a leaping elbow on Gibson for a two-count. The Infantry with a couple double teams of their own, cut off the Midnight Heat from each other, giving Dean and Bravo the opening to hit Boot Camp to get the win. The crowd stayed quiet though, not a lot of excitement in this one.

Winner: The Infantry via Pinfall.

Backstage: Queen Aminata

Queen Aminata was approached backstage and congratulated on her win. She cut a promo reminding people she did not move all the way across the world to be just “average.” She is here representing the whole continent of Africa, and she’s going to be number one.

ROH Women’s World Television Championship Tournament First Round Match
Rachael Ellering vs. Leyla Hirsch

This match between these two friends and partners was one that people were waiting for, so the crowd was a lot more lively. Ellering and Hirsch showed a lot of respect for each other, but it was also clear that their friendship was going to be a factor as each woman was obviously well prepared for the other.

This was a much more technical match as Ellering traded on her size, and Hirsch, her mat wrestling skills. The emotion of the match was bubbling below the surface with Hirsch locking in a sleeper. After some hard strikes the “truce” between the two seemed to have been set aside and some fast strikes and rope work gave neither woman the edge, but perked up the crowd.

After trading elbows, HIrsch went to lock in a submission move on Ellering’s arm, but she screamed in pain and waived her off. The Ref got involved, and the ringside doctor popped Ellering’s apparently dislocated elbow into place.

Ellering protected the injured elbow through the rest of the match, and Hirsch got a near fall after a splash from the top rope. Ellering continued to power through the match in spite of her elbow. Ellering tried to get Hirsch to “finish it” but tricked Hirsch as she got close into a two count. Hirsch got mad at that and worked over Ellering until getting the 1-2-3 to advance.

Winner: Leyla Hirsch via Pinfall.

Hugs all around after the match.

Backstage: Nyla Rose, Athena

Back in the show, we headed backstage and Nyla Rose started a promo but was sneak-attacked by Athena in payback for Rose jumping her last week. Despite being hit by a table, Rose lifted Athena up by the next before throwing the broken table at her.

The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum) vs. Lights Camera Faction (Ice Williams & Action Braxton)

The Outrunners started the match by giving a Code of Honor to… themselves. The two throwback wrestlers were well received by the crowd. Williams and Floyd began the match, but the ref was soon distracted, allowing Magnum to jump in for some illegal shots. The Outrunners flexed their way through the match, in complete control.

Williams got in a few shots, but Floyd grabbed his foot outside the ring, leading to Magnum throwing him down in a slam. The Outrunners continued their 80’s heel shenanigans until eventually hitting Boot Camp (The Infantry’s finisher) for some reason. This was a fun take on classic 80’s wrestling.

Winner: The Outrunners via Pinfall.

Backstage: The Infantry, Lee Moriarty

Back stage Lexi Nair interviewed the aforementioned Infantry. Moriarty arrived and let them in on the fact the Outrunners stole their finisher. 

The Infantry tracked them down and The Outrunners claimed they had been doing that match “since the Sportatorium!” The Infantry warned them not to use it and stormed off.

“The Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith vs. Slice Boogie

Keith’s gunslinger outfit made an impression as he intimidated Boogie off the top. This was Boogie’s first ROH match since 2019, and he and Keith were pretty evenly matched. The fans were clearly behind Kieth, but Boogie kept pace with him until a headbutt dazed him in the corner. Keith hit an Around-The-World cutter and got a quick victory.

Winner: “The Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith via Pinfall.

ROH Women’s World Television Championship Tournament First Round Match
Trish Adora vs. Mercedes Martinez

The third Women’s World TV Title Tournament match started off much like the previous two; slowly. Martinez showed off her mean streak both in strikes and facial expressions. Adora remained unimpressed. Adora showed a bit more finesse than her opponent leading to the first pinning attempt.

The match began to heat up as both women traded stiff shots back and forth. Adora was sent through the ropes and Martinez found her aggression on the outside, tossing her into the ring apron. Martinez threw Adora back in the ring, and knocked her around with hard strikes into a chinlock.

Adora fought back as the match resumed its slower pace. Martinez went for some german suplexes, but Adora was able to keep her to just two and get away to a corner. Adora was able to land a Thez press to take control of the match until her back gave out trying to execute a Lariat Tubman. Martinez was able to put Adora into a crab submission hold until she tapped out.

Winner: Mercedes Martinez via Submission.

Backstage: Leyla Hirsch, Rachael Ellering

A dejected Rachel Elllering cut a promo back stage about how disappointing her loss was. Hirsch arrived and apologized for injuring her elbow and ellering forgave her. The two friends said they were proud of each other and have each other’s backs through this tournament.

Lance Archer & The Righteous (Vincent & Dutch) vs. Jon Cruz, JC Valentine, & James Blackheart

Dutch started things off but tagged in Archer quickly to take on Blackheart. Archer and The Righteous controlled every aspect of this match. Their hard-hitting style got the crowd’s attention, but at no point were they ever in danger.

The single ray of light was Cruz, who managed to get some momentum against Vincent. However, Dutch tagged in and slammed that momentum to a halt. Archer and The Righteous hit their finishers in succession for the win and that was about it.

Winner: Lance Archer & The Righteous via Pinfall.

Backstage: The Infantry, The Outrunners

The Infantry tracked down The Outrunners who claimed they had been doing the Boot Camp finisher “since the Sportatorium!” The Infantry warned them not to use it and stormed off.

Kenny King vs. Dalton Castle

Castle was dejected as he walked to the ring with The Boys, still bummed that he didn’t get the match he was promised against Johnny TV last week.

King tried to take advantage of the low mood off the top,but Castle decided to take his woes out on him with a side headlock. King moved fast, trying to use his speed to get one up on Castle, but Castle rolled out of the ring to compose himself.

Castle tried to shake off the blues by getting the crowd going. King paintbrush him and Castle’s frustration began to show. He walked to the top of the ramp and tried to catch King off guard by speeding back to the ring, but King hit him with an outside dive for his trouble.

Back in the ring, Castle got angrier and angrier as the two traded blows. Castle caught King in a Bangarang and was able to get the pin, but it did nothing to improve his mood.

Winner: Dalton Castle via Pinfall.

After the match Castle grabbed a mic and explained that he was exhausted and couldnt sleep knowing that Johnny TV’s face was out there needing smashing. He called out TV and lo and behold, he came out!

TV reminded us all that Castle was not TV ready, and all he did was wander around and eat cheese. Valkyrie took the mic and revealed the stipulation for the upcoming TV vs Castle clash: They want… The Boys? Yes, if TV wins, he gets The Boys. Castle was shocked (and so were The Boys) as they left ringside.

Backstage: Athena

A recovering Athena cut a promo about how Nyla Rose has been knocking her on her ass and she’s tired of it. She’s fed up with all of this, it’s her show and her title, and she’s not going to back down. Athena then challenged Rose to a tables match for the ROH Womens Championship next week.

ROH Women’s World Television Championship Tournament First Round Match
Diamante vs. Kiera Hogan

The main event of the night was the fourth first-round match in the ROH Women’s World TV Title Tournament.

Diamante assured Hogan that this was going to hurt her more than it would hurt Diamante. They quickly locked up and Diamante put Hogan in the corner for a shoulder to the midsection. Hoga fought back with some fast kicks, and this match quickly set itself apart from the Tournament matches of the show, both in speed and intensity.

A back elbow from Hogan stunned Diamante and Hogan hit her with a dropkick from the second rope. Hogan hit a side slam keeping the momentum in her favor. Diamante fought back though and caught Hogan in a swinging neck breaker to advance. It was a very intense match, easily the best of the night, but was strangely short, leaving the crowd a little surprised and disappointed.

Winner: Diamante via Pinfall.
