00:00Welcome everybody to Ring of Honor Wrestling. It's here in Riccobati Caprice Coleman tonight.
00:16Prove and crowd action. The World Television Champion Nick Wayne takes on the exciting Gringo Loco.
00:22Two rising stars in Ring of Honor have joined forces. Who can stop Blake Christian and Lee Johnson?
00:28They're in action tonight.
00:30And that's not all Caprice from Shane Taylor Promotions. Trisha Dora is in the house.
00:37Trish always dangerous in the women's division.
00:40Straight out of National Drea Gaffress. We have the Beast versus the Snake as the Beast Mortals takes on Serpentico tonight.
00:48But that is not all Caprice because we are kicking things up hot.
00:52The summer's hot and we're running hot. It's the Outrunners. It's the returning workhorsemen.
00:57In a battle of the tag team division's finest. Here, Kickin' takes off this week in Ring of Honor.
01:03Welcome back.
01:04This tag team match is set for one fall of a 20-minute time limit.
01:13Team number one in the combined weight of 476 pounds.
01:17J.D. Drake and Anthony Henry, the workhorsemen.
01:24Two men that put in the work, the tank and the Ferrari.
01:30J.D. Drake, Anthony Henry, the workhorsemen, medically cleared back, ready to compete here at ROH.
01:37I'll tell you what, man. I've seen these guys in action on the indie scene.
01:41These guys are not only back, but they seem to be better than ever, man.
01:45Hunger to be back in the ring and very forward as well.
01:49We take it back to the voice of Ring of Honor, Bobby Cruz, for their opponents.
01:55Their opponents rescued Miami Beach, Florida.
01:58And a combined weight of 457 pounds.
02:02Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd, the Outrunners!
02:09I feel like I'm in a time war.
02:12Standing near the top of the Ring of Honor Tag Team Division.
02:16Truth and Turbo.
02:18Undefeated for over a year in Ring of Honor competition.
02:22Taking it to FTR in Arlington and now here in Ring of Honor in the tag team title hunt.
02:34I heard these guys summon Newport Road Island, Vickabani.
02:37Whoa!
02:38Wow!
02:39Look at that, the double bicep.
02:42And non-filtered right there.
02:46The Outrunners.
02:47Well, Aubrey Edwards calling for the Code of Honor.
02:57We're going to start things off.
02:59Truth Magnum.
03:00Anthony Henry.
03:01Oh.
03:03And you know if it's a handshake.
03:06Oh.
03:07Wow.
03:10Well, kicked away as Turbo Floyd.
03:13Getting the crowd going here in Chicago, Illinois.
03:15For this week's opening contest.
03:19The best of the best for the best wrestle.
03:21AEW Ring of Honor.

03:45AEW TIX.com.
03:47Henry with a big slam.
03:48Wrestling all over the world.
03:50Uh-oh.
03:52And Henry could not find truth.
03:55And a big slam.
03:57I'm so glad that the Work Horsemen are wrestling the Outrunners here.
04:00The Outrunners have been on the roll since the Work Horsemen have left.
04:03And to see the difference that the Outrunners have made since the last time.
04:08We'll show the Work Horsemen where the tag team division is right now.
04:10Well, that's absolutely right.
04:12Look at that hip toss.
04:13I mean, say what you will about the Premier Athletes.
04:15They're on all cylinders.
04:16Tag made.
04:17In comes J.D. Drake.
04:18The Dark Order has had their eyes on gold.
04:21S.A.P.
04:21Lee Johnson and Blake Christian, who we'll see later tonight.
04:25What?
04:26He said he wants the O.
04:27You know, J.D. Drake has a lot of experience with old school wrestling.
04:31He was trained by Joy South.
04:33There we go.
04:38And tag made.
04:40Turbo Floyd, the legal man.
04:42You know, even some of the teams we haven't named yet.
04:46I'm thinking about LFI.
04:47Some of the great combinations that the World Champion Bandito's been a part of.
04:51No strangers to double champions here at ROH.
04:55Caprice, how about the Frat House?
04:57How about the Infantry?
04:59Or any combination of STP.
05:01Or any combination of the Conglomeration.
05:03Yeah.
05:04And.
05:06Whoa.
05:07Whoa.
05:09Wow.
05:13Oh.
05:14You can't turn your back on a work horseman, though.
05:17The knife head's chopped there.
05:20And so far, as both J.D. Drake and Henry cleared for medical return, Caprice.
05:28They look like the injuries aren't holding a bag.
05:30It looks like the outrunners simply might be out wrestling to this point.
05:34It's just a new dimension, man.
05:35The tag team.
05:36The business is straining right here.
05:37Trying to get J.D. Drake off.
05:39The speed goes right back to the headlock.
05:41That's terrible Floyd.
05:42Shot off.
05:43Reverse.
05:44Drop down.
05:45Drop kick.
05:46Oh.
05:47Oh.
05:47Turbo.
05:48Right again.
05:51And I have to try something else.
05:52Doing so much damage to your back there.
05:55J.D. Drake's a big man.
05:57And he's able to hold that gravity down to keep you from picking him up.
06:02Well, those are unforced errors for the outrunners.
06:06I mean, like you said, Caprice, every time you try and slam someone unsuccessfully, it's a strain on that lower back.
06:12Absolutely.
06:13And it stays with you the rest of the week, man.
06:15Not just the match.
06:16The week.
06:17It's like lifting in the gym.
06:18Nice run there.
06:20Oh.
06:21Truth Rana.
06:22Drop kick there.
06:25Into the corners of the outrunners there.
06:29Wow.
06:30Oh.
06:31A little revenge.
06:33Tag made.
06:34I don't know if you want to get a strike fest with J.D. Drake.
06:37That's just me.
06:38No.
06:39Oh, running me.
06:42And...
06:42Oh.
06:43Not again.
06:44Yeah.
06:44J.D. Drake not leaving the ground.
06:46Makes the tag.
06:48Henry in.
06:50Swing and a miss.
06:52Oh, but Henry a little lighter.
06:53Yeah.
06:54Tell you what, man.
06:55You lift heavy weight and then you go to a lighter weight.
06:57That lighter weight seems so much lighter.
07:00They call it a drop set, right?
07:02Absolutely.
07:03Rickabine, you've been working out and running.
07:05We tagging soon.
07:07Whoa.
07:07Two.
07:08Three.
07:09Four.
07:10Five.
07:10Oh, look at this.
07:12The double punches in the corner.
07:17Wow.
07:18Ten for each.
07:19A 20 for the outrunners.
07:21The double bicep there.
07:25Tag made.
07:26I don't know if I want to get my undefeated streak up in wrestling or in Ironman triathlons, Caprice.
07:31Well, for these teams, the undefeated 20-25 will ring of honor.
07:35Oh, well, that's right.
07:36Look at that.
07:37Nice drop down.
07:39Certainly have the champions in mind.
07:40Oh, but to get there, one of these teams is going to have to win this bout.
07:44Continue the role.
07:45Whoa.
07:45There goes Henry.
07:46I've really been impressed with the outrunners' matches against FTR.
07:51Absolutely.
07:51Oh.
07:52J.D. Drake.
07:54The big bear hug.
07:57That ricochet forearm, man.
08:00The workhorseman has taken FTR today and then Mrs. Whale.
08:05Absolutely.
08:06Absolutely.
08:07Inside the bridge.
08:08Oh.
08:10Get through that.
08:14The workhorseman have been undefeated.
08:17This is their first match as a duo here in 2025 on ROH.
08:21The phenomenal record.
08:24Oh.
08:27Technically, that makes them undefeated.
08:29Here goes the round.
08:30And another tag made.
08:35The quick tags for the workhorseman are really wardening off Truth Magnum here.
08:44Let's tell you what, man.
08:45It shows you that oil in the machine is still going right, man.
08:49There's no rush showing there.
08:50Taking their time.
08:51Dictating the pace, man.
08:53Cutting the ring off.
08:56Truth Magnum in a lot of trouble right now.
08:58There was a tag made there as well.
09:00Watch this.
09:01Oh, the neck twist.
09:02And to the center.
09:04Driving the air all the way right there in the core.
09:08J.D. Drake just staying there.
09:10And J.D. Drake, the pain clearly radiating through the ribcage.
09:18The air expelled out of the esophagus.
09:23Tell you what, man.
09:25Back pain.
09:26That Truth Magnum could be going through.
09:28And the ribcage, the core pain.
09:31So much going on right now.
09:33And J.D. Drake just slammed him again.
09:34Second rope.
09:38It is J.D.
09:39Drake going home to Drake Bomb.
09:42Magnum needed that.
09:44Oh, Henry, though, makes the tag.
09:46Magnum.
09:47Henry's so smart with the front face lock.
09:48Preventing the tag.
09:50That's how you do it.
09:51Put a body in between that tag team partner.
09:54Making it hard for him to tag out and still isolating.
09:57Truth Magnum.
09:57That's the way you do it, man.
09:59That's great tag team wrestling.
10:00That's what the workhorsemen are about.
10:02And Henry looking for that front face suplex.
10:06And Magnum with the counter.
10:08Nobody in between the two now.
10:11And Toro Floyd knows it is ready to get in.
10:13Look at him.
10:14He's making some noise.
10:16Trying to get the attention.
10:18Trying to reorient Truth Magnum.
10:19And Henry grabbing the ankle.
10:22Whoa.
10:23And tag made, but J.D. Drake has the attention of Aubrey Edwards.
10:28I don't think Aubrey saw the tag with the body.
10:30Oh, no.
10:33If she doesn't see it, it can't be legal.
10:36That's right.
10:37He's got to get out, man.
10:39Comedy should power him off, too.
10:40And no.
10:45You've not been in that situation before where you make the tag and the referee doesn't see it,
10:49but it doesn't help to stay in the ring.
10:51You have to get out, man.
10:53As fast as possible.
10:55And a lot of heart right now from Truth Magnum, but can he hold on long enough?
10:59And it's a cradle one.
11:01Two.
11:02Small package gets two.
11:03Looking for the tag.
11:04It's Henry now with the waist lock.
11:06Magnum's desperate for that tag, man.
11:08So close but so far away.
11:10Trying to fight now.
11:11Into the corner.
11:14Gets a hold of Drake.
11:15Charging through.
11:16Wow.
11:16Up the back.
11:17Spins back the tag.
11:20In comes Turbo Floyd.
11:26And a big body slam.
11:29And another.
11:37JD Drake in.
11:42Getting things back in control immediately is JD Drake.
11:46I think he hit Turbo Floyd right in the eyes, man.
11:50The Irish whip reversed.
11:52Turbo Floyd.
11:53Oh, ducking down.
11:55I think Turbo Floyd's been weakened by that back attempt.
11:58Oh, wait a second.
12:00Oh, my goodness.
12:02He got it.
12:03He got the body slam.
12:07You can tell JD Drake felt that, man.
12:09He's still down.
12:10He's not moving.
12:12And Chicago's feeling this, Caprice.
12:19Oh, yeah.
12:20Double elbow.
12:24And scooped up.
12:26Oh.
12:27Uh-oh.
12:28And Rae.
12:33O'Connor roll.
12:34Wait a minute.
12:35One.
12:35Two.
12:36Oh.
12:37Truth.
12:38And.
12:39Oh, I got it.
12:41That could be enough right there.
12:43Two.
12:44Three.
12:46The winners of this match.
12:48The Outrunners.
12:50The Outrunners.
12:53Wow.
12:56The Outrunners remain undefeated in tag team competition.
13:02Miami overdrive.
13:04The difference here in ROH.
13:06And what a win to kick things off this week here on Ring of Honor.
13:11Forbidden Door, AEW, I'm on your turn.
13:17Something explore, bear with you.
13:18This is my moment now.
13:20Open the door.
13:23I'm the guy that opened the first Forbidden Door.
13:26Now, from every corner of the world, to the O2 Arena.
13:32Welcome to London, brother.
13:34AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling present Forbidden Door.
13:38Forbidden Door, it's going to be a happening, but last week,
13:49Echicero, a man who called his shot at Bandito.
13:53The Ring of Honor World Champion took on Helico in our main event.
13:55It was a back-and-forth affair.
13:57Rocky Romero of the Don Callis family getting himself involved,
14:00allowing Echicero to swing out, hit the backbreaker, and get the three.
14:06But the extracurriculars proceeded after the bout
14:09as Rocky and Echicero attack the SAP
14:12until hologram of the conglomeration made to save the issues
14:16between the Don Callis family.
14:19And the conglomeration continue to heat up.
14:22And here at ROH, the SAP involved,
14:24as Echicero has his eyes on the World Championship.
14:31But right now, we're going to take a look at a member of LFI.
14:34This bout is set for Waffle.
14:38Introducing first...
14:40The Beast Mortos.
14:44The Beast Mortos raging into Chicago, Caprice.
14:49What a man.
14:51What a monster.
14:53What a beast.
14:55This guy, impenetrable.
14:57There's so much to say about him.
15:06Nearly undefeated.
15:07We'll get to that shortly as we go back to Justin.
15:10And his opponent, Sir Pentacle.
15:15Sir Pentacle seconded on Helico last week
15:19in the main event against Echicero.
15:22And tried to prevent the beatdown from the Don Callis family.
15:26Thankfully, it was hologram who evened out the numbers
15:30on the party returning volley.
15:34But Sir Pentacle, no stranger to the singles ranks either.
15:37Battling Kevin Knight, Lee Johnson, Blake Christian,
15:41Brandon Cutler, ricochet to name a few right here on ROH.
15:44Definitely become a favorite here on Honor Club.
15:46Sir Pentacle, whether it's a singles or tag competition,
15:50we know we're going to see 100% out of this man.
15:55Well, referee Aubrey Edwards calling for the code of honor.
15:59And in a bit of maybe irony or a bit of interest,
16:03SAP's first bout in ROH was a tag team bout against LFI.
16:10That team did not include the Beast Morton.
16:12Oh, goodness.
16:13He's just running through Sir Pentacle right there.
16:19Same way he's been running through competition.
16:22Absolutely.
16:23We talked about being nearly undefeated.
16:24His only loss came to then world champion Mark Briscoe.
16:27Nice drop down there.
16:28It is Beast Mortos.
16:30Wow.
16:30Drop down again.
16:32The thing about it is a lot of times the wrestlers get tired out.
16:35There you go.
16:37Nice.
16:37And lateral press gets a one.
16:41Ooh, gets a zero.
16:45And you're right, Capri.
16:46Sometimes that is a bit of a turning defense into offense.
16:50It shows how much this huge man inside of Beast Mortos is conditioned as well.
16:58Wow.
17:00Beast Mortos LFI.
17:01Wait a minute.
17:01Roll up on.
17:02They have declared their interests and their sights set on the AEW Trios Championships.
17:09You've got to think they might have the ROH six-man titles in mind.
17:12Also, wow, anybody with Beast Mortos in their team is a lot of talk about.
17:21He is the elephant in the room.
17:22And the former ROH World Champion, Roosh.
17:26Oh, wow.
17:29And you know what?
17:30Serpentico might have got a bruised shoulder on that one.
17:33He might need to buy something from shophonor.com, including the great Super Card of Honor t-shirt from down in Texas.
17:39Oh, Texas.
17:40Now available.
17:41Limited quantities of those great shirts available.
17:44Relive a great event.
17:48A match that many are calling one of the greatest matches in Ring of Honor history.
17:52Two.
17:53Between Bandito and Kanosuke Takeshcha.
17:56If you've just joined Honor Club, you can go back and watch that great event in its entirety with your Honor Club subscription.
18:04I'm so impressed, man.
18:05It's a ripcord power slam.
18:09So many things that Beast Mortos has in his arsenal.
18:13See the power, speed, agility.
18:15He brings it all out at will.
18:18You're right, Caprice.
18:20It's almost an uncanny ability that this man has.
18:24Certainly he puts the work in, but the strength, the speed, the closing speed.
18:33He almost can't teach it.
18:35Whoa, wait a minute.
18:37Doesn't make sense.
18:38It's a walking plot twist.
18:40Right.
18:41Serpentico, you can say the same about Serpentico with that double wrist lock takeover.
18:45And he, whoa!
18:47He's trying to make this raging bull beat himself here.
18:52Tell you what, he's been using the Beast Mortos weight against him.
18:55It's been working perfectly.
18:57Whoa!
18:58Didn't knock him off his feet.
19:00That high wrist didn't pay off the way Serpentico wanted it to.
19:03And Serpentico's between a rock and a hard place.
19:06The ring and Beast Mortos.
19:08Yeah.
19:09Up and, whoa!
19:11Beast Mortos!
19:13Into the ring post there.
19:16Serpentico sent back in.
19:18But Serpentico sees an opening.
19:21He's in the closest gap here.
19:23Yep.
19:24Beast Mortos hit that steal, man.
19:25That ring post made of steel.
19:28I don't care if you're Beast or a human.
19:30You're not going to win that battle.
19:32Mortos slide inside the ring.
19:33Serpentico did not see that.
19:35Whoa!
19:36Flying shoulder tackle from Mortos.
19:41What speed and agility you need to be able to get inside the ring while somebody is running off the timing,
19:47the acceleration for somebody.
19:49Beast Mortos' side to pull that off.
19:51It's ultra impressive.
19:52It certainly is.
19:55Hand around the throat.
19:55Serpentico up and over.
19:57Super kick!
19:58Catches the Beast off the ropes.
19:59Charging in.
20:00Takes out the left leg of the Beast Mortos.
20:03Now fly!
20:03Nice!
20:05Hits the jumping flatliner.
20:06Leg hooked!
20:07Two!
20:09That's certainly progress compared to the zero count earlier in the night.
20:13Serpentico chipping away here.
20:15He's wrestling a great match as well.
20:17Breaking down the Beast.
20:19Just like the tree, man.
20:20Hitting him high and hitting him low.
20:22The things that he's doing is working.
20:24It's not working real fast, but it's wearing him down.
20:26Just like you said, Riccobon.
20:27If he keeps it up, he can get a win here.
20:29Land on his feet.
20:30Shot off again.
20:31Yeah, that Casador blocked.
20:32It's Mortos though.
20:34Taking Serpentico around and down.
20:37It's a backbreaker.
20:41Spinning!
20:42Clothesline!
20:43Plants Serpentico.
20:45And Caprice is the beginning of the end.
20:50Beast Mortos.
20:51Oh!
20:52Plants Serpentico cover.
20:55Two!
20:56Three!
20:59Here is your winner for the Beast Mortos.
21:06Destination El Hall Plants.
21:08Serpentico for the one, two, three.
21:12Beast Mortos continues his role.
21:15And fans, we talked a little bit about Supercard of Honor.
21:21It was a huge clash on Zero Hour.
21:23Where the Dark Order met the Frat House.
21:26Dark Order with revenge on their mind.
21:28But the Frat House going move for move.
21:30Preston Vance.
21:31A little bit of mind games.
21:33During the memory.
21:34We saw some great moves from Cole Carter.
21:36But ultimately, it was the Dark Order who planted Griff Garrison.
21:41We thought that was going to be the end of the match.
21:45Until an unexpected return occurred.
21:49Negative uno.
21:50Brody Lee Jr. coming in to distract Preston Vance.
21:55Dark Order running guard.
21:57The three count.
21:58Dark Order stands tall.
21:59At Supercard of Honor, we finally put the Frat House, and more specifically, Preston Vance, in the past.
22:08But we're not going to rest just because we've won one.
22:10No, no, no.
22:11The name of this game is consistency.
22:13And there is not a more consistent team in the last six years than us.
22:17Tripping water hollows out stow not through force, but through persistence.
22:21And nobody embodies that more than the Dark Order.
22:25And every other team in our position would probably say the same exact thing.
22:28We're going for the tag titles, the trio titles.
22:31We're going for all the titles.
22:32But there's one thing we do promise.
22:34Is we will show up, we will kick ass, and leave.
22:37We'll show up, we kick ass, we leave.
22:39We show up, we kick ass, and we leave.
22:41Because we've been doing that since day number one.
22:43The heart and soul of this plate is us.
22:46The longest standing trios in any of the divisions.
22:50So what exactly is the future for Dark Order?
22:54Well, we're going to be giving you our very best.
22:57Because Dark Order is forever.
23:02Wow.
23:03How about the Dark Order?
23:05Very succinct game plan.
23:09This is the tag team bat, Zipper would fall.
23:11Approaching the ring, Blake Christian and Lee Johnson.
23:16The Dapper Yapper, Justin Roberts, introduces two young men who are on quite a roll.
23:22Blake Christian on the right, Lee Johnson on the left.
23:24Let's go back to Justin.
23:26And their opponents, David Ali and Isaiah Moore.
23:31They're facing two young men, Caprice, who've really been tearing up the independency.
23:35David Ali and Isaiah Moore.
23:38Isaiah Moore.
23:39Oh, this guy's amazing.
23:40This guy's fantastic.
23:41This guy's unreal.
23:42This guy's a human highlight.
23:50But they are facing a man who's defeated arguably the greatest Ring of Honor World Champion of all time.
23:55Blake Christian defeated Jay Lethal.
23:59On zero hour, on Supercard of Honor, Lee Johnson.
24:03A great bout last week against the former World Television Champion Atlantis Jr.
24:08One thing you can't deny, Riccoboni, is momentum.
24:11And the momentum that these two young men have been on, they'll win over somebody like Jay Lethal.
24:16That doesn't go away.
24:17That puts that feather in your cap and in your mind and in your heart.
24:21And it catapults you, even if the rankings don't catapult you.
24:24And they do.
24:25But it catapults your mindset.
24:28We're going to start things off here.
24:29Lee Johnson, big shotty.
24:32Of course, coming off that huge match a couple of weeks ago on Dynamite,
24:36where they took on Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland.
24:40Wow, look at this.
24:41Told you, man.
24:42The human highlight.
24:43There you go.
24:44Yeah.
24:46Ooh.
24:48Isaiah Moore now looking for the O'Connor role.
24:50And it's Johnson.
24:51Look at that.
24:52Oh, caught.
24:52Wow.
24:54And Johnson.
24:56Speed on that slide and forearm.
24:59And Lee Johnson.
25:02Tag made.
25:03And Blake Christian in.
25:05And I know these two men certainly have death before dishonor in mind.
25:09Coming to you Friday, August 29th, as part of the huge residency in Philadelphia's 2300 Arena
25:15for the first time ever.
25:17AEW hosting a multi-night residency from August 27th.
25:20To September 11th.
25:22Dynamite collision.
25:23And on the 29th of August, death before dishonor.
25:27Ooh, information.
25:29On how you can buy those tickets, awtix.com, as Blake Christian goes downstairs.
25:34Tell you what, Blake Christian and Lee Johnson are moving at high speed, man.
25:37It's hard to keep up with a team like that that's precision-tuned like this.
25:40Of course, those tickets went on sale earlier today.
25:46They're moving quick.
25:47And you've got to think Blake Christian, who's pinned to World Series, defeated a World Champion
25:51now.
25:52Former World Champion.
25:53Ooh, raking the eyes.
25:55Who's been undefeated in singles action on Honor Club.
25:58Who had that incredible bout that still sticks in my mind.
26:01That final battle when he was a finalist.
26:03Could have walked out of the Hammerstein Ballroom.
26:05A new TV champion.
26:07Went nearly an hour in that survival of the fittest final.
26:10Tell you what, man.
26:11You have guys that watch each other.
26:14Try so hard and never give up, man.
26:17And in certain matches, they've been in together.
26:19They see the struggle.
26:20They feel the struggle.
26:21After a while, you become friends, man.
26:23Because you know you have the same mission together.
26:25You might be able to do more.
26:26I say more of that kick on his way down.
26:31And looking for the tag.
26:33Gets it.
26:35And in comes David Ali.
26:37Christian.
26:37And Caprice, what I think you're alluding to is the bond that Blake Christian and Lee Johnson
26:42have formed.
26:42Yeah.
26:43Whoa.
26:44Look at how quick Ali is.
26:46David Ali is an amazing athlete here.
26:48Been all over the world.
26:50Continues to wrestle.
26:51Stays in phenomenal shape.
26:53Great name for himself.
26:54Taking that.
26:55Dragon.
26:55Oh, my goodness.
26:57But the tag was made outside the view of Ali.
27:00Wow.
27:01And a two count there.
27:05This is breaking that pace, speed.
27:08That Blake Christian and Lee Johnson are moving it.
27:11I've never seen a tag team move this fast and seamless at the same time.
27:16They are certainly wow.
27:19Just collapsing Ali.
27:20And look at Johnson.
27:22The torture acquisition.
27:24Rickabani.
27:24Ali's already out, man.
27:26He's already out.
27:26This match is going to be over soon.
27:28And double stomp.
27:29Oh, my God.
27:31Oh.
27:31Yeah.
27:32Christian Johnson.
27:34Three.
27:37Here are your winners.
27:38Blake Christian and Lee Johnson.
27:41And that was a statement victory for the team of Christian and Johnson.
27:48Earlier tonight, we saw the Outrunners victorious.
27:52We know that the Dark Order is in the hunt.
27:54The Premier Athletes, the Frat House.
27:57I think we've got to start thinking about Christian and Johnson as a team that could win the tag team titles.
28:06You know what that means.
28:07No.
28:07It's time.
28:09It's time.
28:12When you think about Philadelphia and professional wrestling, there's only one place that should come to mind.
28:18And it's on Swanson and Rittner to 2300.
28:20See, here's the deal.
28:22It's rough.
28:22It's gritty.
28:23It's true filth.
28:24When you wrestle here, you show the world your heart and your guts.
28:28When AEW and Ring of Honor step into this iconic building, we will bring true pro wrestling back to the extreme.
28:35AEW and Ring of Honor invade the historic 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.
28:40Tickets on sale now at AEWTIX.com.
28:45Athena, the O-Face, and the win!
28:50I am the Fallen Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the American Joshi.
28:54I am the symbol of fear.
28:56Because soon, I will be the forever AEW Women's World Champion.
29:01Very well.
29:03Well, if you are ready, I will be sweaty.
29:08But Tony, no one is left to save you when I execute.
29:12False.
29:14Why don't you sign that contract and come to this ring and fight me right bloody now, darling?
29:20Hold on, Hussey.
29:24No, no, no, no.
29:24We're not playing that game because it's time for a new star to be born as Athena Elite Wrestling takes center stage.
29:34The target on the Forever Goddess is back growing ever larger as she has a Global Wars rematch against Alex Winsor on Saturday.
29:50Rumble, bad man.
29:53This match is set for one fall, a 20-minute time limit.
29:56Introducing first to be accompanied by Sean Dean and Covey Bravo.
30:00Let's get up, Washington, D.C.
30:02She is representing Shane Taylor Promotions and the Infantry, Trish Adora.
30:13Shane Taylor Promotions got some bad people, Caprice.
30:18Tell you what, man.
30:19To me, this is the wild card of Shane Taylor Promotions right here.
30:24Trish Adora, military trained.
30:28New Japan trained.
30:30Her opponent, Aaliyah James.
30:33You talk about wild cards, though.
30:36Aaliyah James, who we've seen once before in Ring of Honor.
30:39That's a very impressive pedigree.
30:43Yep, from the United Kingdom.
30:46The coat of honor right here, too.
30:48Trained at the same school, the London School of Lucha Libre.
30:51That's who produced Will Ospreay, former ROH World Television Champion, among other accolades, of course.
30:58Nice collar and elbow tie-up.
31:01And it is Adora.
31:03Almost a clean break.
31:05Throwing some heart there, Aaliyah James.
31:06Just showing that strength and what she had over Aaliyah James.
31:10And just showing, hey, I'm here, you're in my house.
31:13But Aaliyah James, just that fast, pushes back.
31:15I like that confidence that Aaliyah James is showing.
31:18And I always love the confidence in Trish Adora.
31:21Nice waist lock here.
31:22It's Adora trying to sink the hips and fans.
31:25I don't know if you're following along with the great StarCast events.
31:29There's some awesome Jazzwares action figures announcing.
31:33And a shocker, one that got under my radar, Caprice.
31:35Surprise me.
31:36The brand-new Briscoe's figures.
31:38Mark and Jay Briscoe coming out from the Jazzwares vault.
31:41A great compliment to the nearly sold-out FTR tag team set that you can buy now.
31:49And if you can get all four of them and recreate three of the greatest tag team matches of all time,
31:56that's Jazzwaresvault.com for four brand-new ROH figures.
32:00That trilogy would go down in history as one of the greatest trilogies in the world.
32:05It's an honor to be a part of that.
32:08Absolutely.
32:09Look at that.
32:09No one home.
32:11And it is Aaliyah.
32:13Up the ladder with the high knees.
32:15Gets the bulldog.
32:16No.
32:16Thought that bulldog was going to be successful until I saw the hands around the waist.
32:20Aaliyah James from Trisha Door.
32:23Aaliyah trying that hands to Trisha Door.
32:25Has that strength advantage and is using it.
32:28Yeah.
32:28Well, that's the most dangerous part of Trisha Door is her mind, Caprice.
32:34She is physically there.
32:37She is mentally there.
32:39But her willingness to learn, like you said, going to the New Japan Academy,
32:45even though she was an accomplished wrestler already.
32:48As you see this, wow, there's almost a short arm scissor here.
32:52Yeah, variation short arm scissor lock there.
32:54Keeping control of it, keeping it isolated is what she's doing.
32:57But you're so right, Riccoboni.
32:59And to say that her mind is her strength, think about it.
33:02She's still one of the strongest women on the roster.
33:05That's saying a lot.
33:05Dropping down here.
33:08And the army grappling that she has in her arsenal.
33:13And the amateur background and the submission prowess.
33:17She has so much she adds to her arsenal.
33:19And with a move like that Lyric Tubman, it only takes one hit to become a champion here.
33:24Or to catapulse yourself in the rankings to get another title shot.
33:28Trisha Door has been a favorite of mine for a long time.
33:33Absolutely stomping on the hand.
33:34Aaliyah James in trouble.
33:35And even just knowing to hit the ribs to create that involuntary movement,
33:39to get that arm back where Adora wants it.
33:42Yeah, keeps herself in two-less, man, constantly.
33:45Like you said, being training right now.
33:46And the two-less is Shane Taylor.
33:48She's standing on that shoulder area, man.
33:50And leg hooked, too.
33:56And we even saw Adora taking some notes during Serena Deeb's pure match.
33:59Yeah, studying her, who could be opponents.
34:03And also learning she has respect for everybody, man.
34:06But she also feels she can beat everybody.
34:09Oh!
34:13Yeah.
34:14I think maybe a little less respect for Layla Gray, though.
34:17She brawled all the way to the back with.
34:19Sometimes you can have respect for somebody, but you want them to respect you as well.
34:24And you want them to put some respect on your name.
34:26And that's exactly what she wanted Layla Gray to do.
34:29Watch this split right here over the top.
34:32And this flex the bell!
34:34Goodness!
34:35My goodness.
34:36It's going to tear Aaliyah in half.
34:38Wow!
34:42And now just rowing the arms of Aaliyah James.
34:46Yeah, but it ain't gently down any strings, Rick Abani.
34:49Two!
34:50No!
34:55What?
34:56Jane might have torn a hip.
34:58Lower back muscle.
35:00Hey, she got smashed in half there.
35:04Still really still holding all of those, man.
35:06And even the submission moves that Trisha Dora has tried.
35:09Wearing down on the shoulders, wearing down on the arms.
35:11Now Aaliyah's dead weighting Trisha Dora.
35:14Trying to keep Trisha from using that muscle to keep that leverage advantage.
35:18She's lost it, but she tried it and probably bought herself some time to Aaliyah James.
35:22Now off the ropes.
35:24Aaliyah James looking around the head to this again.
35:25And this time gets it!
35:26Yep.
35:27Sends Aaliyah into the corner.
35:28James charging in with the flying knees.
35:32Got it, Danta.
35:33Yes, indeed.
35:35Like hooks.
35:36Two!
35:37James with a two and a half there.
35:39Everything that Aaliyah tried earlier, now she's able to get.
35:43She sees that she's wearing down Trisha Dora.
35:45You can't ignore any of that stuff.
35:48You're unsuccessful in something, and then you become successful.
35:50Nobody can tell you you didn't get it.
35:53You earned it.
35:55Oh!
35:56Wow!
35:58Adora puts the match back on her terms here.
36:04Uh-oh.
36:04We know what happens here, Caprice.
36:06The waist lock.
36:07And the power of Trish Adora.
36:12That wrist is locked.
36:13Aaliyah's in trouble here.
36:14Yeah, she's going for that low German there.
36:16Ah!
36:17Oh!
36:17Leia fight with everything she's got.
36:18Shows Aaliyah almost did her homework.
36:20See this here?
36:20Ah!
36:21Trish not letting go, man.
36:23So resilient.
36:24Come on, Dora!
36:26Loading it up!
36:27The big right!
36:29Across the jaw!
36:32Ah!
36:33German with the bridge!
36:35Two, three!
36:38The winner of this match, Trish Adora!
36:43I love that both women came in with game plans here.
36:48Caprice looked for moves, didn't get them, got them later in the match, but it was that
36:51German suplex.
36:53Y'all ain't got nothing for him!
36:55Nothing will happen!
36:56Y'all can't do nothing!
36:57What's going on in the game?
36:58Bad news!
36:59Bulls already!
37:00Watch out, Valerian Tommy!
37:01Yeah.
37:02I love all the ROH Jazzlers vault figures, but it's questionable, this decision to include
37:07this man.
37:07Now, how stupid do you have to be to do the same thing again?
37:15This is the third time after I specifically said that in the state of Washington, you are
37:23not allowed to hit anyone in the ringside area in the groin, okay?
37:28I've already talked to the commission.
37:30This match is as good as thrown out!
37:33That was a...
37:34It's okay, and Dustin, Dustin, we get it.
37:36You love to relive your freak show glory days by kicking a grown man in between the legs.
37:42It's why you and the Von Erich boys sit around and trade your little war stories about your
37:46daddies, because you're living in the past and not focused on a future.
37:50A future that involves the premier athletes kicking your ass and taking your titles!
37:54Hey, you forgot to mention Sammy Guevara, who should be worrying about that title around
37:59his waist instead of making those stupid, cringy, disgusting TikToks with his wife.
38:05Really embarrassing.
38:06But besides all of that, if you take away the cheating, the sneaking, and all that other
38:10bull crap you pull every single week, if you take all of that away, you can't beat
38:16us.
38:17Can't beat us?
38:18Nobody can beat us.
38:21You know why, boys?
38:22Why is that?
38:22Because athletes rule.
38:29This Saturday, the Fallen Goddess Athena defends the Oroich Women's World Championship against
38:33the newly All-Elite Alex Windsor.
38:36But let's take a look back at Super Card of Honor, where Lee Moriarty defended his Ring
38:40of Honor Pure Championship against the Hall of Famer Blue Panther.
38:44The Lucha Libre Legend went hold for hold with Tiger Style in this Battle of the Cats as both
38:50men ended up showing great agility.
38:53But ultimately, it was Moriarty's knowledge of the pure rules and his Rolodex of submissions,
39:00including the Border City stretch, that retained the title and forced the legendary Blue Panther
39:06to tap.
39:07The next afternoon in Globe Life Field, STP took on the Sons of Texas at All-In Texas.
39:12Moriarty had the match in the favor of STP before Dustin Rhodes turned the tie for his team,
39:17leading to five huge claws, including one from Hall of Famer Kevin Von Erich, giving the win
39:24for the Sons of Texas in the Lone Star State.
39:27What a moment that was for the Ring of Honor, World Tag Team, World Six-Man Champions.
39:34Unhappy with the outcome at All-In, Lee Moriarty has laid out the challenge.
39:37The Natural is accepted, and Tony Cobbs made it official.
39:40The TNT Champion, Dustin Rhodes, defends his title against ROH Pure Champion, Lee Moriarty.
39:46And speaking of champions, we heard from our ROH World Television Champion last night,
39:50ahead of tonight's huge proof-and-ground bout with Gringo Loco.
39:54We took a big risk.
39:58And what's the point of taking risks when there's no reward waiting for you in the end?
40:02Now's the time.
40:04The time that we show them, right?
40:06It certainly is.
40:08Last week, we verbally explained ourselves as to why we did what we did to Christian Cage.
40:14But I think it's time we back up those words physically.
40:18Starting this Saturday, we will begin our quest as to proving why we are soon to be one of the most dangerous factions in AEW.
40:28To show what we are able to do when we are not being held down by a patriarch.
40:33To show what we are capable of when we are uncaged.
40:38Nick Wayne, seemingly living many different lives with many different faces.
40:48Heavy is the head that wears the crown heading into the Proving Ground.
40:52This is a Proving Ground match that will involve in a 10-minute time limit.
40:57Introducing first, Gringo Loco.
41:01And a huge fan favorite in Chicago, Caprice Gringo Loco.
41:07A man who has ignited ROH crowds.
41:11Has a chance to earn himself a shot at the Ring of Honor World Television Championship.
41:15Always great to see Gringo Loco in the house.
41:18This man is fantastic.
41:20Great movement.
41:21Agile.
41:23Takes risks.
41:25Continues moving.
41:26And has made a great name for himself across the world, Riccoboni.
41:31Absolutely.
41:32He's competed in Mexico, Japan, you name it.
41:34Gringo Loco becoming and is one to watch around the world.
41:40But perhaps no man in Ring of Honor has had the success this man has had at quite this age.
41:48Accompanied by Kip Sabian and Mother Wayne.
41:51He is the Ring of Honor World Television Champion, Nick Wayne.
41:57Well, as we saw, Nick Wayne retained the Ring of Honor World Television Championship at Supercard of Honor.
42:08Was greeted by a man that at least considered Nick Wayne his son in Christian Cage.
42:16The following afternoon in Arlington at Globe Life Field, Nick Wayne showed his true colors betraying Christian Cage.
42:26But really, this is a snake's den, Caprice.
42:30I wouldn't trust Nick Wayne.
42:31I wouldn't trust Mother Wayne.
42:33I wouldn't trust Christian Cage.
42:34I wouldn't trust Kip Sabian.
42:36Yeah, it's a curveball you didn't see coming right in your face.
42:39I definitely didn't see that coming, man.
42:41Looking at Nick Wayne, I don't know what to think anymore.
42:46It's a chaos wrapped in confidence.
42:51Yeah.
42:52You see Mother Wayne, Kip Sabian with the World Television title first.
42:55Fans, that might be new to Ring of Honor.
42:57A proven ground bout.
42:59If the champion is taken to the time limit.
43:01Or defeated by the man in the crowd is cheering for, Gringo Loco.
43:07Yeah, man.
43:08It's always great to see.
43:09You know you're going to see an outstanding match no matter who Gringo Loco's in the ring with.
43:14He can go ten minutes with the champion or he can defeat the champion.
43:19He will earn a future title shot.
43:20And Nick Wayne was in that position at Supercard of Honor.
43:24He went to the time limit with Titana and Marina Mejico in a great match.
43:27Then an instant classic in Arlington as Gringo Loco.
43:31Think about it though, Riccoboni.
43:33Gringo Loco is like a luchador with size.
43:37So he's able to do the same things that somebody like a luchador can do.
43:43But he's a lot bigger.
43:44He's bigger than Nick Wayne.
43:45He can move the same speed, the same finesse.
43:48This is dangerous for Nick Wayne.
43:51It certainly is the open hand.
43:53And Nick Wayne, you know, he ultimately got the victory.
43:56After some help, you might say, against Titana.
44:01But he's had trouble with some of the high flyers and some of the luchadors.
44:05Right.
44:06It could be somebody like Gringo Loco, man, that could bring it.
44:10Oh, look at that.
44:11With that strength of power.
44:14Wow.
44:15Watch this.
44:16Watch this.
44:16Standing with some light hook cover.
44:19Two.
44:19Two.
44:19Yeah, there.
44:20And it's a real thing, Caprice.
44:25You know, top-tier wrestlers.
44:27We talked about it when Claudio was the ROH World Champion.
44:29Wait a minute.
44:30He had a distinct problem wrestling luchadors.
44:34Another Wayne.
44:39Distraction.
44:39Wow.
44:41And using the heart of Gringo Loco right there as a disadvantage.
44:46Mother Wayne knew exactly what she was doing.
44:49100%.
44:50One of the smartest, but perhaps most dastardly minds in Ring of Honor and AEWs.
44:57Kip Sabian out there as well.
44:59Nick Wayne.
45:01Back into the ring.
45:02Oh, I thought he was going for the cover instead.
45:04Unloaded on Gringo Loco.
45:06They suspect less from Nick Wayne.
45:08He's never about to put Rick Abani.
45:10Never about to put.
45:12And that's the wild part.
45:15That's the cover here.
45:16One.
45:17Two.
45:18We mentioned during the Bandito Takeshita bout at Supercard of Honor.
45:23That those two men would carry wrestling into the 2030s.
45:26Nick Wayne's got to be in that conversation as well.
45:29Despite maybe what the crowd says.
45:31Here's Chicago.
45:32You can look at Nick Wayne.
45:33You can tell he's the future of professional wrestling.
45:36It's just the way that he's going about it that people don't like.
45:39And if they didn't like him before, they'd definitely hate him now.
45:43Well, I mean, there's something to be said about being jealous of someone
45:47who's been successful this young, this fast, this quick.
45:51Who's as handsome as this good of a wrestler.
45:53You can put his picture on the marquee and sell tickets.
45:57I mean, but it's not being jealous.
46:00It's the way somebody did it, man.
46:01Nick Wayne comes from great blood.
46:03Has a great father for real that many people respect.
46:08And then Christian Cage comes claiming to be a father.
46:12And they go with it.
46:13So that was disrespectful off Gates.
46:16And 10th of all, he turns on Christian Cage.
46:19Right.
46:20Absolutely.
46:20And now looking, almost looking to the outside for help here.
46:24And if you remember Caprice, how did T-Town get the title shot?
46:28He went the distance.
46:29Right.
46:30That's how you can get it.
46:30I love that in Ring of Bonnet, the proven grounds are not safe, man.
46:34There's so many title shots because of that.
46:39Absolutely.
46:40That's Gringo Loco.
46:42If you're looking for the win here, two big clotheslines.
46:44Now looking for, does not get the Irish whip.
46:46It's a reverse handstand, Scring Bones.
46:49With ease, man.
46:50You see how Gringo Loco floated in the air.
46:53Two.
46:53So effortlessly for a man his size.
47:01He's a matchup nightmare.
47:03He's one crazy white boy.
47:04Yeah.
47:07And a big body slam.
47:12We are four minutes in to this proving ground bout.
47:15Either a decision or six minutes to go will decide the fate of the next contender of the ROH World Television title.
47:23Look at the balance by this man.
47:26Yeah, but he may be taking too much time with Gabani.
47:30Wait a minute.
47:30Switch foot.
47:31Moon Salt going home.
47:33Out of everything that we may not like about Nick Wayne, he is still a phenomenal wrestler.
47:40An opportunity and an opening right here.
47:42And he's going to take it.
47:43He's a champion for a reason, man.
47:45And just stunning.
47:48Gringo Loco.
47:49The fire.
47:51That's the fire.
47:52The waist lock.
47:53There we go.
47:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
47:56Whoa.
47:58That's no way.
48:00Yeah, we got that.
48:03No, here it's room.
48:05Yeah, room.
48:08That's it, man.
48:10Chaos wrapped in confidence.
48:12That's Nick Wayne.
