Video: AEW-ROH Global Wars Australia Cold Open
A video aired featuring the cold open for tonight’s AEW-ROH Global Wars Australia show.
Six-Man Tag Team Match
The Learning Tree (Chris Jericho, Big Bill, & Bryan Keith) vs. Bandido & The Outrunners (Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum)
Huge reaction for Jericho and crew when they emerged from the back. There was also a big reaction when Bandido and Jericho faced off at the bell. Outrunners are wearing masks out of respect to Bandido and were announced as Los Outrunners. Big Bandido chants. There was an absolutely manic reaction when Big Bill tagged in with the arena chanting for him. He murdered one of the Outrunners with some insane chops. The audience was so into all of this, it was insane. In the end, Bandido pinned Jericho clean (!) with one of his suplexes.
Winner: Bandido & The Outrunners via Pinfall.
The Learning Tree attacked everyone afterward and Jericho used a chair to inflict punishment. He was halted by the appearance of Powerhouse Hobbs, who was never advertised to be here. Hobbs ran off everyone but Jericho hit him from behind with the chair – TO ZERO EFFECT. Hobbs manhandled Jericho but Big Bill got in the ring. Hobbs was ready to go but Bill backed out of the ring.
Big ovation for Bandido and The Outrunners after they recovered.
Backstage: Athena
ROH Women's World Champion @AthenaPalmer_FG has some haunting words for her opponent @HailWindsor!

Athena was seen backstage talking about her ROH Women’s World Championship match tonight and gave some harsh words of warning to Alex Windsor.
ROH Pure Championship
Robbie Eagles vs. Lee Moriarty (c)
The crowd booed when the rules were explained and it was stated a disqualification would be handed if a closed fist was used after a warning. That was funny. The crowd was super into Robbie since he’s a Aussie. Good action. Eagles was the first to exhaust all of his rope breaks. Moriarty scored the win and they enforced the old Code of Honor after the match.
Winner: Lee Moriarty via to retain the ROH Pure Championship.
Big round of applause for Eagles as he exited.
Mark Davis vs. Tommy Knight
Huge roar when Davis was announced from Australia. Knight is a regular in PWA and MCW here in Aussie. No Don Callis with Davis. It was too beefy men trying to muscle the other in the early going. Knight got a big reaction hitting a DVDR. Lots of meaty punches and strikes and forearms with the crowd yelling MEAT for them. Davis finally scored the win. Physical!
Winner: Mark Davis via Pinfall.
Backstage: Alex Winsdor

Lexy Nair interviewed Alex Windsor backstage to get her thoughts about her ROH Women’s Championship match. Windsor responded to Athena’s comments earlier and told Athena that she can underestimate her all she wants because she will become the next ROH Women’s World Champion.
ROH World Tag Team Championship
MxM Collection (Mason Madden & Mansoor) vs. Sons of Texas (Sammy Guevara & Dustin Rhodes) (c)
MxM had one of the Tag Team belts. Lots of fire for the Champions’ entrances. The crowd really loved it when Rhodes would escape a move from Mansoor. Guevara’s offense got big reactions. The crowd is HUNGRY and HAPPY to be here. Rule to all the Americans who sit on their hands at these shows weekly from WWE, AEW, etc. We don’t get a lot of these types of shows, but you do, so enjoy those blessings and don’t whine about it. Dustin brought down the house teasing a dive but then doing an AWFUL Spinaroonie type thing, which was to distract the challengers from Guevara flying off the top to the floor. Great stuff. MxM almost had Sammy pinned after a big Mace Black Hole Slam but Dustin saved the day at the last second and the crowd chanted “Thank you Dustin.” Rhodes hit a Destroyer. Guevara scored the pinfall after a swanton on Mace.
Winner: Sons of Texas via Pinfall to retain the ROH World Tag Team Championship.
Very entertaining, made much more so by the fans.
Mace stole the ROH Tag Team Championship belt again after the bell!
ROH Women’s World Championship
Alex Windsor vs. Athena (c)
They announced Momo Watanabe from STARDOM is in attendance.
ROH Women’s Champion Athena vs. Alex Windsor appears to be the Global Wars main event. Very back and forth athletic drive bout. Athena tried to bully Windsor early but she wasn’t to be deterred. Athena went to the top for the O-Face but was caught and Windsor slammed her into the ring. Windsor nailed several headbutts while trying to put Athena into position for a spinning DDT off the ropes. She achieved that, scoring a two count. The fans were clapping and rallying beind Windsor. Athena nailed a DDT after avoiding a spinning clothesline. Athena nailed a tremendous looking O-Face and scored the pinfall. Enjoyable.
Winner: Athena via Pinfall to retain the ROH Women’s World Championship.
