ROH Men’s World Television Championship: AR Fox (c) vs. Action Andretti vs. “Blackheart” Lio Rush
Andretti refused the Code of Honor as he rolled out of the ring upon the bell ring. Fox was left to deal with Rush, who whispered… something to him. This was apparently to have the two go after Andretti early. Andretti found himself getting hit by a big boot from Rush and a Fox enzuigiri that sent him flying out of the ring.
Meanwhile, Fox and Rush shook hands for the Code of Honor and the two engaged in quick action. After a jumping neckbreaker from Fox, Andretti did a double handspring into a double cutter on Fox and Andretti. Fast and furious action as Fox leapt off the side of the turnbuckle for a moonsault onto Rush outside of the ring. Irish whip by Fox to Andretti, who leapt onto the elevated ramp to avoid calamity. Fox followed suit, but was planted by the DDT onto the ramp by Andretti. With the World TV Champion down and out, Andretti searched for a weapon, but found an umbrella underneath the ring, which was held by Lio Rush. As the two tugged over it, Rush’s umbrella was broken, as Andretti violently threw him into the barricade. Andretti then took the remains of the umbrella and feigned hitting Rush with it, but he threw it far away.
As Andretti continued to attack Rush, both were caught by surprise by Fox with a leaping moonsault from the elevated ramp to the ground below. Back in the ring, Fox tripped up Andretti as he attempted a suplex from the apron, but Andretti countered it. Rush hit a Stunner on Fox as Andretti flew into him with a clothesline afterwards. The cover by Andretti, but Rush kicked out repeatedly on each attempt.
Corkscrew splash onto Fox by Andretti only got a near-fall. Andretti stomped on Rush in the corner, but the Blackheart seemed to laugh maniacally at the violence being dished out at him. Fox got ahead of Andretti as he hit him with a clothesline in the corner. Rope-assisted dropkick by Fox on Andretti was followed by cutters on his two foes. Swanton by Fox on Andretti, but Rush broke up the count. Rush lifted Fox up as his attempted low-angle springboard basement stunner was blocked. Fox then got the Blackheart with a rope-assisted spinning DDT and an Anarchy Suplex for the near-fall.
Andretti recovered and hit the Shining Wizard on Fox, which only left him and Rush standing for the time being. The former Cru members battered one another with exchanges of strikes as Andretti fell victim to Rush’s basement stunner. One, two…. NO! Rush headed to the top rope, but Fox tried to stop him. Rush bit at the side of Fox’s head to knock him down. High-risk move missed as Andretti hit Rush with the knee and the Falcon Arrow for a very close two-count.
Andretti hit a returning Fox with the pump-handle slam for another two count as he dragged the champion and challenger next to one another. Andretti headed up top, but Rush intercepted him. Rush beckoned Fox to join him up top for a double superplex. Rake to the eyes by Andretti, but he paid for it with a double superkick by Fox and Rush.
Meanwhile, Fox and Rush took each other out with a double down clothesline. All three men staggered to their feat as we got a blow-for-blow exchange of strikes from Rush, Fox, and Andretti. Fox blasted both Andretti and Rush with big boots, but the low-blow by Action took him out. Shotgun dropkick by Andretti, but he couldn’t connect, instead getting hit with the basement stunner followed by the submission hold. Fox slid in and broke the hold.
Fox was planted by the basement stunner from Rush, who was rolled up by Andretti for an unsuccessful kickout. Rush eventually took advantage and finished off Andretti with the Black Thunder Bomb to become the new ROH World TV Champion.

Viva Van & Lacey Lane vs. Red Velvet & Thunder Rosa
With the Code of Honor adhered, this tag match got underway with Red and Viva starting it off. The two dueled with shoulder blocks, but it was Viva who won out. Eventually, all four women were in the ring as Lacey and Viva got Rosa and Red with the stereo dropkicks. Red avoided calamity from Viva and Lacey’s double suplex as Rosa tagged in and hit legal woman Lacey Lane with thunderous chops. Arm drag by Rosa was followed by a wristlock takeover. Lacey hit Rosa with a jumping dropkick as Viva tagged in and the two hit a nice double team move on Rosa.
Rolling heel kick by Viva on Rosa got a two-count. Rosa recovered and got two for the price of one with the crossbody on Viva and Lacey. Rosa had Lacey isolated and went after her with more chops to the chest. Irish whip to the home corner was followed by the clothesline to Lacey and the tag to Red. Lacey found herself completely isolated by Rosa and Red. Diving dropkick to a stunned Lacey wasn’t enough to pick up the victory. Blind tag by Red allowed her to hit Lacey with a DDT as Viva was forced to break up the count.
Lacey recovered and blasted Red with a kick to the face followed by a unique Spicolli Split to the ROH World TV Champion. Rosa broke it up as things broke down a bit. Superkick by Lacey on Red nearly got the win. The tag to Viva as the Ocean Cyclone attempt was turned into a backfist. Second attempt was successful, but Rosa blind tagged and it led to the Tijuana Bomb and the win for the veterans.

Diamante vs. Maika
Athena’s head minion was here to take on a former STARDOM Champion in Maika.
Match got underway with a collar-and-elbow tieup struggle between Maika and Diamante. Takedown by Diamante was followed by the spin after Maika hit the mat. Maika responded with a running shoulder block on Diamante as she soon found herself pulled down by the hair afterwards.
Boot to the gut of Maika was followed by Diamante’s DDT for the two-count. Diamante hit Maika with a rebound elbow smash as she kept the advantage on her foe. Diamante transitioned the headscissors into a side Russian legsweep on Maika for a near-fall.
The Kawada kicks by Diamante on Maika was followed by a side headlock. Maika attempted to break out, and did so as she hit a dropkick to the hips of Diamante. Stalling suplex by Maika was escaped by Diamante, but the powerslam made no mistake. Sliding clothesline to Diamante from Maika as she got the crowd going.
Front face lock from Maika into the stalling suplex for the two. Diamante escaped Maika’s sleeper with a rake to the eyes, but paid for it with a misdirection lariat. Diamante countered Maika with the bridging German suplex for the near-fall. Dragon sleeper countered into a discus lariat. Maika then got the win with a Michinoku Driver, paying homage to her mentor, Taka Michinoku.
Maika def. Diamante via pinfall
ROH World Tag Team Championships: Sammy Guevara & Beast Mortos (c) vs. Los Villanos (Villano III & Villano III Jr.)
This was a match contested on last week’s CMLL Friday night show.
Our ROH World Title match kicked off with Guevara riling up the Arena Mexico crowd as Los Villanos tried to get cheers in response. As the match got proper, Villano III and Guevara kicked it off with some acrobatic action. Villano III and Guevara traded acrobatic dodges as “Tres” landed on his feet after a hurricanrana. Guevara returned it in kind with a similar pop out.
Evenly matched until Mortos headbutted Villano III. “Tres Junior” tried to use his speed, but was grounded by a pounce from Mortos. The ROH World Tag Champions kept targeting Tres Junior as Guevara headed to the top rope, but he just stepped down for the stomp. Tres tried to join the fight, but he was knocked down. Tres Junior was left alone and stomped on by Guevara and Mortos.
Mortos wiped out on the running knee in the corner as Tres avoided it. The leap to Guevara by Tres, while Tres Junior hit the spinning springboard dive on Mortos. Back in the ring, Los Villanos had Mortos stunned with the double stomp that sent the beast rolling out of the ring. Guevara was left alone as the Villano brothers took turns in relishing the chops to the chest of one of AEW’s Pillars. Outside the ring and on the ramp, Los Villanos carried Guevara on both their shoulders and and launched him right onto Mortos on the elevated ramp below.
Mortos hit a double clothesline on both Villanos after rolling over the two brothers. This opened them up to an over-the-top rope dive to the outside. Mortos followed that with a tornillo plancha through the ropes on the recovering Villanos. Inside the ring, Guevara hit Tres with a cutter as Tres Jr. responded with the hurricanrana driver. Tres Jr. found himself caught into the Argentinian Backbreaker and the fierce lariat. Pop-up to Tres, but Mortos was flattened by the DDT. Tres was taken down by the springboard cutter from Guevara. Tres Jr. hit Mortos with a kick as he headed to the top rope and attempted a high-risk move. Mortos recovered and threw him for the avalanche body press. The cover as Guevara hit Tres with the Mexican Destroyer at the same time. Tres Jr. kicked out at two.
Tres found himself in an untenable position as the Doomsday Device was seemingly on target. Tres avoided at the last second as he and Tres Jr. nearly got the win on the double tandem move. Near fall as Guevara and Mortos kicked out at the same time. On opposite corners, the Villanos’ high risk moves failed as Tres Jr. soon found himself a victim of a pop-up Samoan Drop, followed by a Mortos tornillo moonsault for the three.
Sammy Guevara & Beast Mortos def. Los Villanos via pinfall to retain the ROH World Tag Team Championships
