00:00:00Gogo, Gogo's back!

00:00:02The Olympic boxer Anthony Ogogo!

00:00:05He's got the hardest hands in the world, Rickabani.

00:00:08Oh no, no.

00:00:09He's a professional boxer.

00:00:11Olympic gold medalist.

00:00:12Oh!

00:00:16And just in the nick of time!

00:00:20The Monarchs arrive!

00:00:22Steel chairs in hand!

00:00:25Sons of Texas, all inside the ring.

00:00:29Oh my goodness, look at Dusty.

00:00:33And Marshall and Ross Von Erich making the save.

00:00:37But the message was sent, even after that hard fought down.

00:00:44STP, I don't think we've seen the last of the infantry.

00:00:47And the Sons of Texas.

00:00:50Infantry at full force now, man.

00:00:53Gogo goes back.

00:00:54And Lori Hardy even coming in the reservation.

00:00:58They're more yardage here.

00:01:01Tell you what, man.

00:01:02Running high.

00:01:02The infantry is outside.

00:01:04Not victorious.

00:01:06But my goodness.

00:01:07Look at the blood inside the ring.

00:01:09They are still champions.

00:01:11They've certainly sent a message to the Sons of Texas.

00:01:14Look at the damn music.

00:01:21STP, that's the way you want to play.

00:01:24Each week you come out here and you're jumping people from behind.

00:01:28Well, guess what?

00:01:30Tomorrow, high noon, at the OK Corral across the street.

00:01:35Call 5 Stadium.

00:01:38What do you want?

00:01:39I'm taking you to the OK Corral.

00:01:41We're going to have ourselves a nice little shootout.

00:01:46Because I am your Huckleberry, bitch.

00:01:49Whoa!

00:01:50Whoa!

00:01:51Whoa!

00:01:58Hey, Dustin Rhodes.

00:02:00Whoa!

00:02:01Apparently issuing a challenge to STP.

00:02:03I mean, is it accepted?

00:02:04I mean, what?

00:02:05Are we going to see this tomorrow night?

00:02:07Look at the Rhodes and the Moneric family standing above the Sons of Texas.

00:02:10Is it all in?

00:02:11Like, what?

00:02:13I think Carly Bravo certainly has accepted it.

00:02:15What just happened?

00:02:16And we're getting where Tony Khan has made it official tomorrow.

00:02:22Glove like field.

00:02:24All in Texas.

00:02:25Zero Hour, the Sons of Texas.

00:02:27The six-man champs, the tag champs.

00:02:30Take on Shane Taylor promotion.

00:02:31Shane Taylor.

00:02:32Pier champion Lee Moriarty in the infantry.

00:02:35That's what I'm talking about.

00:02:36Oh, Kevin Von Erich in the corner of the Sons of Texas.

00:02:40Kevin Von Erich in the corner.

00:02:42And Anthony Ogogo in the corner of STP.

00:02:45Wow.

00:02:46Wow.

00:02:48The cloth versus the cement hands of Anthony Ogogo.

00:02:54Even the corner men Caprice.

00:02:56Everything is...

00:02:56Keeps getting bigger and bigger.

00:03:02Wow.

00:03:04But speaking of bigger and bigger,

00:03:06tonight can only get bigger and bigger.

00:03:09The Ring of Honor Men's World Television title on the line.

00:03:12Nick Wayne, Teton.

00:03:13A proving ground bout set the stage to tonight's championship bout.

00:03:18All in the same night.

00:03:20What's the matter to the time to get this moment?

00:03:22Teton returns tonight.

00:03:24Teton returns tonight.

00:03:24He faces a man who he knows he's beaten once before.

00:03:27Can he do it again and earn a title shot?

00:03:29Well, both Nick Wayne and Teton had great best of Super Junior tournament.

00:03:32But Nick Wayne's tournament was all but ended when he met Teton.

00:03:37Let's see if Teton can do it when it counts.

00:03:40Beat Nick Wayne here.

00:03:41Or even last the time limit.

00:03:42You get a shot at that television title.

00:03:44Whoa!

00:03:45Teton was trapped.

00:03:47Whoa!

00:03:48That's great reading and reaction from Nick Wayne.

00:03:50Who now sends Teton!

00:03:52So much disrespect trying to take that mask off.

00:03:56The CMLL World Welterweight Champion trying to earn himself a shot at the Ring of Honor World Television title.

00:04:03We're less than one minute away.

00:04:04Nick Wayne's in trouble.

00:04:05The team in champ is down.

00:04:07Teton, inside great find.

00:04:09Wait a minute.

00:04:10The bell is rung.

00:04:11This time, hey, he gets a shot at a TV title.

00:04:14Nick Wayne did not win.

00:04:15He escaped today.

00:04:17A new number one contender for the Ring of Honor World Television title.

00:04:22Congratulations, Teton.

00:04:23The road to Arlington began in Mexico City Arena, Mexico.

00:04:42And tonight, the man that lasted 10 minutes in the Proving Ground challenges for the Ring of Honor World Television title.

00:04:53This match is set for one fall with a 30-minute time limit.

00:04:56And it is for the Ring of Honor World Television Championship.

00:05:01Introducing first, the challenger, rescatar of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, weighing 85 kilos, Teton.

00:05:13And Teton really has to be feeling it, Caprice.

00:05:17Because not only did Teton go 10 minutes with the champion in Arena of Aiko, but we saw it in the highlights.

00:05:24Teton defeated the current Ring of Honor Men's World Television champion in Japan in the best of Super Juniors.

00:05:32And he'd do it when it counts.

00:05:35He ran literally his faith on his sleeve.

00:05:37Yahshua on the back of Teton.

00:05:41An opportunity here to be Ring of Honor Television champion.

00:05:47And a man who is no stranger to international competition.

00:05:51You see that beautiful mask.

00:06:00High stakes for this young man.

00:06:02We have all stared down the expectations of our parents, Caprice.

00:06:32Christian Cage, the man who says he is Nick Wayne's father, has entered he and Nick Wayne

00:06:40in the three-way AEW World Tag Team Championship bout tomorrow at AEW All-In Texas.

00:06:47But has he jeopardized the individual, the solo success of this young man

00:06:52who arguably has the most breakneck schedule of any competitor in AEW All-In Texas week.

00:07:00But I don't know if it's a breakneck.

00:07:02It's definitely a momentum shift.

00:07:04Young man can take it.

00:07:06It could be overwhelming, but I believe the Patriot believes in Nick Wayne.

00:07:12Double top, double championship opportunity is the bottom line to both of these.

00:07:19He's unbeaten in his last six ROH matches tomorrow looking to become the first quote father and son duo to hold the AEW World Tag Team titles.

00:07:31Tonight, the Ring of Honor World Television title on the line.

00:07:36He has made three defenses of the championship.

00:07:38With Teton, no stranger to Ring of Honor looking for the Code of Honor.

00:07:40Rick Knox holds the title high.

00:07:42Teton, of course, made his debut in some high-profile matches in Ring of Honor in 2017,

00:07:48including a World Television title bout and a World Six-Man Tag Team title bout

00:07:52against the Young Bucks and Hagelman Page, who, of course, is doing a marquee bout.

00:07:57Yeah, yeah.

00:07:57Come on, Keith.

00:07:59Yeah.

00:07:59Look at where the Code of Honor is.

00:08:01This is the whole now for that Code.

00:08:03Oh, wow.

00:08:04That's totally disrespectful.

00:08:05Absolutely.

00:08:07You know how dirtiest it is, COVID-19.

00:08:11That's disgusting.

00:08:12Chuck, a dropkick there.

00:08:13Opened in from Teton.

00:08:18And charging in.

00:08:19Shot to the midsection.

00:08:21Oh, wow.

00:08:23So young and so much experience at the same time.

00:08:28On to the right, two lists as Nick Wayne have.

00:08:30Aborting that satellite DDG.

00:08:33And popping through.

00:08:34Teton, who has been CMLL World Tag Team Champions for the man we're familiar with,

00:08:39Warner Jr., who has had a five-year reign as the CMLL World Welterweight Champion.

00:08:46And, ooh.

00:08:48Oh, wow, man.

00:08:50Caprice, I think Nick Wayne's on to something.

00:08:53Teton relies so much on those high-flying moves,

00:08:55so much on explosive action.

00:08:58Going for that knee is a great idea, great place to focus.

00:09:01Well, we're not even five minutes into this match,

00:09:03and we saw how fast and how quick-witty Teton is

00:09:07with that quick thinking of Nick Wayne going straight into the legs.

00:09:11It's probably one of the smartest things you can do,

00:09:13and it's not cheating.

00:09:14He hasn't cheated.

00:09:15All he has done is been aggressive, been assertive,

00:09:17and found a pinpoint that being in the leg and taking control of it.

00:09:21Can you see the way Teton's knee went left to right?

00:09:24Those ligaments aren't supposed to go on the lateral plane, Caprice.

00:09:28They're supposed to go on the longitudinal plane.

00:09:31Oh, I love you, Nick.

00:09:32Yeah, that NBA, oh, jeez.

00:09:34See right there, the dab is done.

00:09:36Nick Wayne looking sugar.

00:09:38No shoulders, he sees it.

00:09:39Going to keep going at it, almost like a shark.

00:09:41Spelling blood, throwing Teton into the ring.

00:09:45Nick Wayne, the youngest ring of honor.

00:09:51Men's champion of any kind, hooking the leg cover, too.

00:09:55And he became the champion.

00:09:56And he defeated Commander 85 days ago, 35th champion.

00:10:02And a title in prestige held by great champions.

00:10:06I love this, man.

00:10:07Wow.

00:10:08This guy's so young to pick it apart.

00:10:10You see a lot of young wrestlers, man.

00:10:12They want to do all these cool, high-flying moves

00:10:14and all this innovative stuff, and there's nothing wrong with it.

00:10:16But when you get a young guy that's around the two minutes,

00:10:20like Kristen Cage, and these people that's showing you

00:10:22how to slow things down, how to take a body part,

00:10:25how to take a body part apart,

00:10:26how to break it down, how to stick it to a move,

00:10:29how to come to a game plan.

00:10:30And how to bite fingers.

00:10:32Yeah.

00:10:32Well, A.

00:10:33And trapping the leg there.

00:10:35And Teton, he needs an escape hatch here, Teton does.

00:10:39He gets to the ropes.

00:10:40Just punched, man.

00:10:42It's just punching right there at the leg.

00:10:44I tell you, you're right, Riccoboni.

00:10:46Just eliminating so much of the offense that Teton has by hurting the leg.

00:10:52And it is Wayne who has slowed this down.

00:10:58And honestly, you know, I don't know that we gave Wayne enough credit

00:11:01for that Proving Ground match, Caprice.

00:11:03Yeah.

00:11:04That bound the best of Super Junior's loop was fast-paced,

00:11:06and it was really Teton who pushed the pace in Arena Mexico.

00:11:10It was Wayne who tried to slow it down.

00:11:11What we're seeing here.

00:11:12Come on, man.

00:11:13We're going to go.

00:11:14And there is no repercussion that we're aware of for taking a mask off.

00:11:19In Ring of Honor.

00:11:20Yeah.

00:11:21Right there.

00:11:22It sets up a distraction, man.

00:11:23Definitely an insult to the lineage there.

00:11:26You want to protect who you are,

00:11:28especially when you're losing it.

00:11:29Going back to it again this time from the eye socket.

00:11:32Tearing out that mask.

00:11:33And even if he doesn't take the mask off,

00:11:35he makes that mask a distraction on its own.

00:11:38Loosening it up.

00:11:39Making it hard to see inside of it.

00:11:41Making it loose on your head.

00:11:44And Wayne, in Arena Mexico, you know,

00:11:48the title shot was earned.

00:11:49Oh, figure four now.

00:11:50Because it was a time limit draw.

00:11:52Because it went to ten minutes.

00:11:54But Wayne, fighting a lot like he did in Arena Mexico,

00:11:57slowing it down.

00:11:58And now without that ten-minute time limit,

00:12:00it looks like this game plan is right on the money.

00:12:03See how much torque Nick Wayne put on that

00:12:05pickle-court leg-lock before he let it go.

00:12:09Here, Michael Wayne, he's perfect.

00:12:11Yeah, he's just approving it all.

00:12:13Happy birthday!

00:12:15Happy birthday!

00:12:17And Nick Wayne is defeated.

00:12:21Jay Lee, he's defeated Lionel,

00:12:22defended that television title.

00:12:24Touching in, Big Boop caught.

00:12:26And it's Wayne.

00:12:26Oh!

00:12:27Jeez!

00:12:29That's that quick-witted thinking, man,

00:12:31when you're young enough to wear your mind

00:12:32and your body moves at the same time

00:12:35when you're able to see things and react.

00:12:37Able to see that boot coming at him,

00:12:39dug out of place, kept it locked in,

00:12:42hyperextended it.

00:12:43And hobbling at Teton with enough head of steam

00:12:46to deliver that clothesline.

00:12:48Gave up a lot on that move,

00:12:50but now looking to go up top.

00:12:52Fast ascension to the top,

00:12:53especially for his legs.

00:12:55Being the way they are.

00:12:56Cross-body Lance,

00:12:57not able to keep that pressed on.

00:12:59Dropkick Lance.

00:12:59Nick Wayne outside.

00:13:02But you can tell something's wrong with Teton Caprice

00:13:04because normally he'd pop up.

00:13:05Normally he'd be full steam ahead.

00:13:07He's holding on to that knee right now.

00:13:09Absolutely still choosing to take off.

00:13:11Whoa!

00:13:15See?

00:13:15And Teton with that dive,

00:13:21that knee reeling in pain

00:13:24because of the sacrifice that Teton had,

00:13:27given everything he had,

00:13:29even sacrificing his limb already in trouble

00:13:32to even the slates.

00:13:34Might have done it.

00:13:35You can see limping right now

00:13:36as Teton trying to get to the champion

00:13:39to wear him down a little bit.

00:13:40But Teton is not in the favor of Teton

00:13:43because it takes Teton longer

00:13:45to get to Nick Wayne.

00:13:47Look at him right there.

00:13:49Contemplating whether he wants to loosen his belt,

00:13:51the boot belt or his,

00:13:53or the knees.

00:13:54And Teton, again, that half second.

00:13:57You nailed it, Caprice.

00:13:58That half second was the difference

00:14:00between Wayne blocking that move or not.

00:14:02Yep.

00:14:03Contemplating whether he wants to give that ring,

00:14:05give time to swell,

00:14:08cut off that circulation.

00:14:09to the knee pad gets in your way sometimes.

00:14:12And it's Wayne on the apron.

00:14:14Open hand from Teton.

00:14:18The headbutt.

00:14:21Oh, all that damage done, man, to that leg.

00:14:25Forearm connection.

00:14:26Challenger lands an open hand.

00:14:28The champion right back to the knee.

00:14:30Definitely fighting on the hardest part of the ring.

00:14:33It's the gamble for both wrestlers.

00:14:35It's best for Teton with the mindset

00:14:37that Nick Wayne has.

00:14:40Teton, nice kick to the head there.

00:14:43It's Nick Wayne.

00:14:46Eats the soul

00:14:48of Teton

00:14:50underneath the jaw,

00:14:52rattling.

00:14:53Wow, didn't use his feet for that.

00:14:54Oh, core strength.

00:14:55Wow.

00:14:57Trying to get some blood flow,

00:14:58some circulation,

00:14:59back into the ligaments,

00:15:00the tendon.

00:15:01Teton!

00:15:01Oh, gave it all up!

00:15:07To deliver the double stomp,

00:15:10pushing all the air out of the champion.

00:15:12Double stomp successful,

00:15:14but what did it cost Teton?

00:15:16You can see the knee buckling.

00:15:18Teton!

00:15:19Teton!

00:15:20Teton!

00:15:21Teton!

00:15:22Arlington rallying behind the champion.

00:15:25I gotta see that again.

00:15:26A great, a different angle.

00:15:28Oh, and that time Caprice.

00:15:30I noticed the knees went left to right again.

00:15:32He couldn't quite support himself on the landing.

00:15:35But that's what I was talking about.

00:15:36You never can anticipate a landing like that.

00:15:38You're landing on a body.

00:15:39You're taking a risk.

00:15:41That's why it causes a high risk maneuvers right there.

00:15:43And it might have caused more damage than not.

00:15:46But what it at least did was buy Teton some more time.

00:15:50Teton, more time.

00:15:51Ten, five times fast.

00:15:53Boom.

00:15:53And back to the midsection.

00:15:56Delivering these shots to limit the oxygen.

00:15:59We're at nine.

00:16:00The ring-offer, there is a 20 count.

00:16:02So Teton sending Nick Wayne back in.

00:16:06I love Rick Knox, man.

00:16:08Bilingual.

00:16:09He's speaking English.

00:16:11Dwayne Spence to tie Teton.

00:16:13One of the best in the game.

00:16:14Up to the top.

00:16:15It's Teton.

00:16:18Look at the double stop.

00:16:19Oh, my goodness.

00:16:20Caught the knee.

00:16:21That ankle flipped itself.

00:16:23Put pressure on the knee.

00:16:24Dwayne.

00:16:25You saw it.

00:16:25Went right to it.

00:16:26Smart wrestler, man.

00:16:27Blood in the water.

00:16:29Figure four.

00:16:30Figure four locked in.

00:16:33Whoa, a chicken now.

00:16:34That has been one of the most dangerous leg locks for years.

00:16:38And there's four reasons because it works.

00:16:41Perfected by Buddy Rogers.

00:16:44Rolled it through to the center of the ring.

00:16:46The damage locking in.

00:16:48Nick Wayne pulling it tighter.

00:16:50Making it hard for Teton to escape.

00:16:53The longer this move is in, the more damage is done.

00:16:56And there might be some permanent damage, Caprice.

00:16:58And Wayne, again, making the most out of that five count.

00:17:05Nick Wayne gathering his breath Teton trying to gather his wits.

00:17:09And see what is left inside of the knee, inside of the leg.

00:17:14And the approval of Miss Wayne on the outside of the work that her son is doing on the inside.

00:17:22I don't like that.

00:17:24And Mother Wayne on the outside.

00:17:30Directing traffic, keeping her son on target.

00:17:32Get on him.

00:17:33Providing that parental encouragement.

00:17:36I got to say it, man.

00:17:37Nick Wayne is wrestling a perfect match.

00:17:38He's not cheating.

00:17:39He's being assertive.

00:17:40He's picking the body parts.

00:17:42Taking the part.

00:17:43He's staying inside.

00:17:44Picking his points.

00:17:45Hitting targets, man.

00:17:46Dictating pace.

00:17:48And Teton trying to kind of fire back up.

00:17:50Trying to get that adrenaline going.

00:17:53It's Wayne.

00:17:53Uh-oh.

00:17:56We're going to miss.

00:18:00Rapid fire shots from Teton.

00:18:02That is a knee rapid fire right there.

00:18:05Just one connection on the jaw.

00:18:06Shoot off.

00:18:07Reverse.

00:18:08And Wayne.

00:18:09Off the ropes.

00:18:09No one holds.

00:18:10He does.

00:18:10Matrix back kick.

00:18:16Challenger and champion are now.

00:18:17And the three letters that for years synonymous with the phrase, the best wrestling on the planet.

00:18:33Being chanted by this sold-out crowd in this back-and-forth world television title bout.

00:18:41Nick Wayne digging as deep as he can inside the will of Trix.

00:18:45Teton bringing everything he has.

00:18:48What an opportunity.

00:18:49Kick to the face.

00:18:50Kick to the stomach.

00:18:51Kick to the face.

00:18:51Hands to the face.

00:18:52Ducks to kick.

00:18:53Back to the leg.

00:18:54My goodness, Nick Wayne.

00:18:56This is all so fast that he is fighting.

00:18:58And that might have been Teton's last shot.

00:18:59Wait a minute.

00:19:00It's a cradle.

00:19:01Roll through.

00:19:01Teton.

00:19:02Can he play?

00:19:03No.

00:19:03That knee came out.

00:19:04That knee came out.

00:19:05The super kick.

00:19:06It's Wayne.

00:19:06Wayne's roll.

00:19:07No.

00:19:07It's Teton.

00:19:08Whoa.

00:19:09My goodness.

00:19:10Nasty play.

00:19:11The neck of Nick Wayne is a quest in Riccoboni.

00:19:15Certainly is.

00:19:16Teton couldn't get what he wanted from that knee.

00:19:19It landed into something even more dangerous.

00:19:22It's Teton throwing Nick Wayne.

00:19:24The champion in trouble.

00:19:25That kick.

00:19:26Plants the champion.

00:19:27The champion on the outside though.

00:19:28Smart move by Wayne.

00:19:29As Mother Wayne looks on.

00:19:32Teton digging deep.

00:19:33The heart of Teton.

00:19:35Come on.

00:19:35Pull it together.

00:19:36On display.

00:19:38Checking the knee.

00:19:39And what is Teton not left in that knee?

00:19:41That's the question.

00:19:42And it's answered.

00:19:43With a dive to the outside.

00:19:45Everything that he has was put inside of that toe pin.

00:19:50Over the top rope.

00:19:54Still in the body's match.

00:19:56Look at this.

00:19:57Look at this.

00:20:00The extra leap.

00:20:02The push.

00:20:02The agility.

00:20:03Teton's got to be careful though.

00:20:05Those knees could lead to Cavs.

00:20:06The Cavs could lead to Achilles issues.

00:20:08He doesn't want to injure himself long term.

00:20:10But the title's inside Caprice.

00:20:11He can smell it.

00:20:12He can taste it.

00:20:13Title's inside Teton contemplating going to the top rope.

00:20:17To try to finish things off.

00:20:18But with the legs being hurt.

00:20:20With the knee being hurt.

00:20:21Everything is taking longer.

00:20:23And Nick Wayne knows it.

00:20:24This is what he invest in it.

00:20:26Double stop lands.

00:20:27Double stop lands.

00:20:30Again you're right Caprice.

00:20:31That knee.

00:20:32Two.

00:20:36Oh wow.

00:20:48I feel prophetic right now.

00:20:51Oh yeah.

00:20:53Kick out.

00:20:57Hit the road mama.

00:20:58Looking like the great referee Eric Greg tossing.

00:21:02The great umpire Eric Greg tossing Mother Wayne.

00:21:06Please mama don't cry.

00:21:10Dear mama.

00:21:12And this even sticks out Caprice.

00:21:15We would have had a new champion in my opinion.

00:21:17We would have had a new champion and now.

00:21:21It's Teton who's hobbled.

00:21:23It's Wayne who's disadvantaged.

00:21:25Because Mother Wayne's not there.

00:21:26Teton has another burst of energy right here.

00:21:28Roll through.

00:21:29Lock to side.

00:21:30Wait a minute.

00:21:31Standing goodbye.

00:21:32Wow.

00:21:34Can he bridge?

00:21:35Can he bridge?

00:21:36The Moodle Lock.

00:21:37He had this in Arena Mexico.

00:21:39His time expired.

00:21:40He had this in Arena Mexico.

00:21:41His time expired.

00:21:42No time expired here.

00:21:44Locked in.

00:21:45Nick Wayne may have to tap.

00:21:47Straightjack and Moodle Lock.

00:21:49This dead center in the ring.

00:21:51Nick Wayne's going to have to show heart.

00:21:52And that right arm.

00:21:54That right arm is the only thing Nick Wayne's got right now.

00:21:56Teton fighting for it.

00:21:57This is a fight right here.

00:21:59Nick Wayne trying to fight.

00:22:00He got the right arm with the left arm out.

00:22:01Wow.

00:22:01Left arm out.

00:22:02Whoa.

00:22:03I'm impressed by Teton.

00:22:05I'm impressed by Nick Wayne.

00:22:07So much fortitude by both athletes to stay in and fight and get in out of that move.

00:22:12And what a game of chess just in that exchange there.

00:22:15In that Moodle Lock.

00:22:16Looking for the straightjacket.

00:22:17It was Teton with the left arm.

00:22:19Wayne.

00:22:21Gives up the right arm to take back the left arm to get the ropes.

00:22:24Amazing.

00:22:24I'm convinced that Teton is running on adrenaline.

00:22:27Not using his legs to get to the top that time.

00:22:30That was a fast ascension.

00:22:32Oh.

00:22:32It still didn't matter.

00:22:34Wrestling beyond his years.

00:22:36This young man who has been a pro.

00:22:41Wait a minute.

00:22:41Go for the mass.

00:22:42Grab the mass.

00:22:43Yeah.

00:22:43He knows what he's doing.

00:22:44Nick Wayne knows exactly what he's doing.

00:22:46These movements.

00:22:48Natural movements from a young man that is so young but so many years left in his career.

00:22:54In the front face lock.

00:22:56It's Teton trying to get the separation with the forearms.

00:22:59It's Wayne delivering those heavy forearms of his home.

00:23:03It's Teton throwing him back.

00:23:04He's our best son.

00:23:08He's our best son.

00:23:09He's our best son.

00:23:11He's our best son.

00:23:11Oh.

00:23:12With a big headbutt.

00:23:13Sends the champion to the center.

00:23:15Headbutt to the collarbone.

00:23:18Making it hard to stand.

00:23:19Nick Wayne can't get to his feet.

00:23:22Yeah.

00:23:23That'll knock you out, man.

00:23:25And Wayne, the knee injury.

00:23:26Oh.

00:23:27Come on.

00:23:28Keep saving it.

00:23:29Come on.

00:23:32With Mother Wayne dispatched.

00:23:34Nick Wayne was.

00:23:35He gave me food.

00:23:37Nick Wayne.

00:23:40Wayne's World.

00:23:45And it's Wayne.

00:23:47Taking the head off Teton's stack.

00:23:50One.

00:23:51Two.

00:23:52Whoa.

00:23:56We take another look.

00:23:58Wings.

00:23:59Whoa.

00:24:00Wait a minute.

00:24:00Back to live action cradle.

00:24:01Two Teton.

00:24:02Oh.

00:24:03Two and nine tenths.

00:24:04Two and nine tenths.

00:24:05Oh.

00:24:06The kick again.

00:24:08Beheading Teton.

00:24:11He was looking for this further.

00:24:12Wayne.

00:24:13Oh.

00:24:14That brain buster.

00:24:16Leg hooked.

00:24:17Two.

00:24:18That's it.

00:24:19Wow.

00:24:21The winner of this match.

00:24:23And still.

00:24:25Ring of Honor.

00:24:26World.

00:24:27Television champion.

00:24:29Nick.

00:24:30Wayne.

00:24:31And therein lies.

00:24:34The advantage of the patriarchy Caprice.

00:24:38Mother Wayne.

00:24:39Sent to the back.

00:24:41Kip Sabian finding a way.

00:24:43Just as the moment called for it.

00:24:47And Nick Wayne.

00:24:49Using every trick in the book.

00:24:50Wrestling like a 20 year veteran.

00:24:52Yeah.

00:24:54To hold on.

00:24:55To survive.

00:24:56To advance to all in tomorrow.

00:24:58In that three-way.

00:25:01AEW.

00:25:02World Tag Team title bout.

00:25:04With a chance to become a double champion.

00:25:08I don't agree with the way that Nick Wayne held on to that title.

00:25:12But you cannot deny.

00:25:14The performance that Nick Wayne put on in that match.

00:25:16Was amazing.

00:25:17You certainly can.

00:25:22And that's.

00:25:24And that's Wayne's attention.

00:25:27Mine too.

00:25:28It's strong to the stage.

00:25:31Oh my goodness.

00:25:32Almost saying proud papa.

00:25:36And.

00:25:37And Wayne almost looks surprised to see his father.

00:25:40That's not his dad.

00:25:41He's behind.

00:25:42And tomorrow afternoon.

00:25:45It could be a date with destiny.

00:25:47As Christian Cage.

00:25:50Has proclaimed tomorrow will be the day.

00:25:53That for the first time ever.

00:25:55Father and son will win the AEW.

00:26:05A moment here.

00:26:08Christian Cage coming out awarding.

00:26:10The championship that is retained by Nick Wayne.

00:26:14Kim saving everybody involved.

00:26:16Helping this young man retain the title.

00:26:18But the icing on the cake.

00:26:20Especially for Nick Wayne.

00:26:22As Christian Cage coming in.

00:26:23Giving a silver approval.

00:26:25As they move it to next.

00:26:26Tomorrow night.

00:26:27For a championship opportunity.

00:26:29And last year they went into.

00:26:31To all in.

00:26:31As the AEW trios champions.

00:26:33Tomorrow they can leave.

00:26:34As the AEW.

00:26:35And no code of honor.

00:26:36And no code of honor.

00:26:36Christian Cage wiping his shoes.

00:26:39And a sign of disrespect.

00:26:41Titan wrestled with heart.

00:26:43With guts.

00:26:45Against Nick Wayne.

00:26:46Who is a deserving champion.

00:26:48But who used shortcuts.

00:26:50And who used everything he learned from his father.

00:26:52Christian Cage.

00:26:53To retain.

00:26:56The ring of honor.

00:26:57World television title.

00:26:58These two men.

00:27:00Could leave Globe Life Field.

00:27:02And all in Texas tomorrow.

00:27:04As the AEW.

00:27:05World tag team champions.

00:27:09Red Velvet.

00:27:10Earlier this week.

00:27:11News broke that you were not able to compete tonight.

00:27:13Due to injury.

00:27:14With that being said.

00:27:15We are crowning.

00:27:16An interim ring of honor.

00:27:17Women's world television champion.

00:27:19Talk to me a little bit about how you feel.

00:27:21Let's see.

00:27:24Supercard of honor was supposed to be the night.

00:27:27That I showed everybody once again.

00:27:29Why I'm.

00:27:30The ring of honor women's world television champion.

00:27:34But life had other plans.

00:27:35I'm injured.

00:27:37And I can't compete tonight.

00:27:39And trust me.

00:27:40Nobody's more frustrated than me.

00:27:42I was supposed to prove.

00:27:43And show everybody again.

00:27:45That this reign.

00:27:46Wasn't just built on moments.

00:27:48It was built.

00:27:50Off grit.

00:27:52And yes.

00:27:52With that being said.

00:27:54A new interim champion will be crowned tonight.

00:27:56And whoever that is.

00:27:59I hope you wear it.

00:28:00With pride.

00:28:01I hope you defend this title.

00:28:03With honor.

00:28:05But don't get it twisted.

00:28:07Your countdown.

00:28:08To losing that title.

00:28:10To me.

00:28:11Has just begun.

00:28:12And I think I'm going to watch.

00:28:14This match really close.

00:28:15As a matter of fact.

00:28:18I think I'm going to watch ringside.

00:28:22Right now.

00:28:25And tonight.

00:28:27In interim.

00:28:27Ring of honor women's world television champion.

00:28:30Will be crowned.

00:28:31But first.

00:28:34This woman.

00:28:35The ring of honor women's world television champion.

00:28:39Will come to the ring.

00:28:40And sit ringside.

00:28:42To see four of the best in the world.

00:28:45Compete.

00:28:46For the interim title.

00:28:48And Caprice.

00:28:49You heard it.

00:28:49Red velvet will certainly be waiting.

00:28:51For whomever emerges as champion.

00:28:53Ladies and gentlemen.

00:28:56The ring of honor women's world television champion.

00:29:01Red velvet.

00:29:04Well red velvet was certainly having a history.

00:29:07Making rain.

00:29:08Capturing the title.

00:29:09Right here in Arlington.

00:29:13Great champion man.

00:29:15Certainly was making history.

00:29:17Yeah.

00:29:17And certainly raising the profile.

00:29:18The procedure of the title.

00:29:19By bringing it to Arena Mexico.

00:29:21Yeah.

00:29:21On many occasions.

00:29:23Tonight unfortunately.

00:29:25Has to sit ringside.

00:29:27Championship in hand.

00:29:28But knowing.

00:29:29Especially knowing.

00:29:30Tony Khan's history.

00:29:31Where the interim champion.

00:29:33Usually gets the first crack.

00:29:35When they are healthy and cleared.

00:29:37At whomever the champion may be.

00:29:38There's a lot of respect shown there.

00:29:40Given.

00:29:41Velvet time to recover.

00:29:42And you have to have a champion.

00:29:44While she recovers.

00:29:45But giving her an opportunity to get a shot.

00:29:47When she's back.

00:29:51This is a world wide women's wild card.

00:30:04Four way match.

00:30:05For the interim.

00:30:06Ring of honor.

00:30:07Women's world television championship.

00:30:11Participant number one.

00:30:12Wrestling out of Fukuoka.

00:30:13And there you see.

00:30:20Miyu Yamashita demonstrating the skull kick.

00:30:24Her finishing move.

00:30:26Of course.

00:30:27Won an own ring of honor.

00:30:28But that skull kick.

00:30:29Caprice has led her.

00:30:30To four times over.

00:30:32Being the Tokyo Joshi Pro.

00:30:34Princess of princesses champion.

00:30:36The only woman to hold that title four times.

00:30:39The top title there.

00:30:40There's a reason why every woman in this match has been picked single-handedly to be in this match.

00:30:47She is one of four that may leave tonight as the interim women's television champion.

00:30:53The pink striker as she is known.

00:30:56Looking to deliver that kick and earn the interim championship.

00:30:59Woo!

00:31:00Woo!

00:31:01Woo!

00:31:02Woo!

00:31:03Woo!

00:31:04Woo!

00:31:05Woo!

00:31:06Woo!

00:31:07Woo!

00:31:08Woo!

00:31:10Woo!

00:31:14Participant number two is wrestling at South Town.

00:31:18Yuka Sakasaki.

00:31:23Yuka Sakasaki.

00:31:24Yuka Sakasaki.

00:31:25Yuka Sakasaki.

00:31:25Yuka Sakasaki is here.

00:31:28The magical girl with the magical splash.

00:31:31A woman who's no stranger to title competition in ROH.

00:31:36Grab a shoulder smooth. Grab a shoulder smooth.

00:31:39It's hypnotic.

00:31:41A woman who took Athena to the test with the Ring of Honor Women's World Championship on the line.

00:31:50Colors a little bit different, though. Dressed in championship black here tonight.

00:31:53Taking it serious. Yes, indeed.

00:31:56This right here is my pick, Riccoboni.

00:32:01Cartesian number three, wrestling off El Paso, Texas, Persephone.

00:32:10The powerhouse of CMLL, who has been undefeated in ROH action.

00:32:18Including a tag team bout that included Red Velvet.

00:32:24It is Persephone walking with a lot of confidence here.

00:32:28She's been in this sport for four years and has made tremendous progress.

00:32:36So strong, so smart.

00:32:40For the time she's been in this ring and very powerful.

00:32:44Oh, my shoulders are moving now as we await the fourth and final competitor.

00:32:49We take it back to the voice of Ring of Honor, Bobby Cruz, for the introduction.

00:32:55Participant number four is wrestling out of Tokyo, Japan.

00:33:00Mina Shirukawa!

00:33:04Five and 0 in Ring of Honor, unbeaten.

00:33:10And her first shot at a Ring of Honor Championship.

00:33:13The fans getting into it.

00:33:15We are two.

00:33:15The shoulders are moving.

00:33:17They're both in.

00:33:18Yeah, and this woman is used to championship gold.

00:33:21134 days as Women's Red Pro Undisputed British Women's Champion.

00:33:27She may be a hot pick to win the night, Riccoboni.

00:33:31Well, if you pick Persephone, I might pick the woman who's closely aligned herself with Toni Storm.

00:33:38Timeless Toni Storm will compete tomorrow night at Olin, Texas.

00:33:42There you see the current World Television Champion.

00:33:46This bout is for the title of Interim Women's World Television Champion.

00:33:52And Mina Shirukawa, who I hope, as you see the championship there, held by Stephon Smith high in the air,

00:34:01who I hope his attention has been fully committed to this bout.

00:34:04Her good friend Toni Storm and that huge headlining bout at Globe Life Field tomorrow.

00:34:09Yeah, you can have your mind on more than one thing,

00:34:11but if you're going through Globe Field as a champion, it's sitting for Toni Storm.

00:34:16That's right.

00:34:17Code of Honor right here, too.

00:34:18Mina Shirukawa, Yuka Sakazaki.

00:34:21Miyu.

00:34:22Code of Honor.

00:34:23And Persephone opting out, abstaining from the Code of Honor.

00:34:29And Miyu.

00:34:30Oh, some bad blood maybe with Miyu and Yuka.

00:34:34Yeah.

00:34:40Persephone backing up, man.

00:34:41She wants no part of that.

00:34:42You know, that might be a smart thing.

00:34:44So much blood, so much heat inside the ring.

00:34:47These women are willing to fight themselves.

00:34:52Mina.

00:34:53Persephone's smart lead.

00:34:55Yep.

00:34:56To the outside.

00:34:57There's a lot of work on that.

00:34:58And Red Velvet offering some critiques to a woman who has a tag team win over.

00:35:03And she's saying, hey, that's not a bad idea there.

00:35:08And you see the hammer lock there.

00:35:11Side headlock from Miyu.

00:35:13Miyu with a height advantage.

00:35:15And Yuka, the magical girl.

00:35:17Well, I would say a height and strength advantage as well.

00:35:20Yuka Sakazaki grabs their headlock, fighting over the headlock.

00:35:23Mina Shirukawa with the waistlock.

00:35:25Yes, indeed.

00:35:26Miniyu locks on as well.

00:35:28There's a lot of strength behind there with Miniyu.

00:35:30Where's the switch here?

00:35:31Yuka Sakazaki.

00:35:32Oh, deliver the shot on to Mina.

00:35:35But it's Miniyu with the waistlock now into the ropes.

00:35:37Great strategy by Yuka.

00:35:39Using the momentum of Mina to go to the outside of the ring.

00:35:44And it is Persephone looking for the double clothesline.

00:35:47Yuka.

00:35:48Side headlock maybe for the Bulldog.

00:35:49No.

00:35:50Look at that strength of Persephone right there.

00:35:52Shoots off.

00:35:52Yuka Sakazaki drop down.

00:35:55By Mina.

00:35:57And Mina and Persephone off the ropes.

00:36:02Nice leapfrog there.

00:36:03I think back to the Women's International Cup forward.

00:36:06That's your Russell Dynasty.

00:36:07Wait a minute.

00:36:07Step through.

00:36:08Pushed off.

00:36:09That's that strength.

00:36:10Persephone.

00:36:11Swing through.

00:36:12Wow.

00:36:13It was there where we really learned just who Persephone was in the Tokyo Dome.

00:36:20It's amazing because while in the Tokyo Dome, everybody in the Tokyo Dome knew who Persephone was as well.

00:36:26And Persephone now with Mina Irish whip now into the corner.

00:36:33Up and over as Mina goes down low.

00:36:37Swing and a miss.

00:36:37Nice.

00:36:38Wow.

00:36:39Being so elusive.

00:36:40The strongest woman in the ring also being elusive.

00:36:44Also acrobatic.

00:36:47Flexible.

00:36:47So many things that Persephone brings to the table as she shoots Mina in.

00:36:52Sakazaki on the inside as well.

00:36:54In the middle.

00:36:54What is going on?

00:36:57What does Mina have in mind?

00:36:59It's like a genie.

00:37:00See me.

00:37:01See me.

00:37:03Oh.

00:37:04She didn't get rubbed the right way though, Riccoboni.

00:37:06Oh.

00:37:09I mean.

00:37:12That's the end of the wishes.

00:37:13I just think there's no more wishes to laugh.

00:37:15Well, there was a lot of fans enjoying that.

00:37:17Unfortunately, brought to an end there.

00:37:19As Miu.

00:37:22Delivering.

00:37:24And these shots in the midsection.

00:37:26I like the strategy.

00:37:27Persephone and Yuka Sakazaki working together against Miu.

00:37:29Who has that height advantage.

00:37:32The strong, powerful kicks.

00:37:34I would love to see Miu and Persephone go at it, man.

00:37:37Oh, wow.

00:37:38That was great thinking right there by Miu.

00:37:41Yuka Sakazaki was just there.

00:37:44And close line misses.

00:37:47Shot to the midsection.

00:37:48Miu.

00:37:49And Mina.

00:37:49No strangers to one another.

00:37:50It is Mina.

00:37:53Oh.

00:37:53Knees to the skull.

00:37:56Those knees is all that Miu needed to break loose from Mina.

00:38:02Mina trying to get a wish together.

00:38:04Miu.

00:38:05Oh, no.

00:38:06And up and over.

00:38:07Mina, the last woman standing here with the title of interim champion on the line.

00:38:12Oh.

00:38:13We want Miu.

00:38:15We want Miu.

00:38:16We want Miu.

00:38:17We want Miu.

00:38:18And the fans split between Mina and Miu here.

00:38:21Miu too.

00:38:24Up to the top, Mina.

00:38:27Whoa.

00:38:29Okay.

00:38:31Okay.

00:38:32Laying it all on the line.

00:38:34Wait a minute.

00:38:34The magic.

00:38:35Go.

00:38:35Okay.

00:38:39Yeah.

00:38:40Oh, whoa, whoa.

00:38:42Wait a minute.

00:38:43Yuka Sakazaki.

00:38:44She got some more magic.

00:38:45Oh.

00:38:46She almost.

00:38:47Her...

00:38:47Her seven and close.

00:38:49RISE!

00:38:52Getting Mina and Miu.

00:38:54The magic.

00:38:56Whoa.

00:38:57Oh.

00:38:58Magic hurricanrana.

00:39:00Yuka Sakazaki.

00:39:01Yuka Sakazaki.

00:39:03Me too.

00:39:04And now Yuka, the last woman standing.

00:39:08Yuka.

00:39:09Boom.

00:39:10There's just such energy.

00:39:11There's just...

00:39:12There's just a different vibe.

00:39:15This rush of positivity, of happiness, of joy when Yuka's out there.

00:39:19Absolutely.

00:39:20But this match is amazing.

00:39:21Fast Ascension to the top by Yuka.

00:39:24Me too.

00:39:24Whoa.

00:39:25Sends down with a missile drop kick from Yuka Sakazaki.

00:39:31Her name is almost as funny saying as Rickabody.

00:39:33Nice drop down there.

00:39:36Miu.

00:39:37Able to block the suplex.

00:39:38Rolling through.

00:39:39Nice right there.

00:39:40Using the leverage to get Miu to the other side of Yuka.

00:39:44Now using that leverage to get that suplex in.

00:39:46That's smart wrestling right there.

00:39:48That's knowing your size and knowing what you have to do.

00:39:50Two foot over.

00:39:51Oh.

00:39:53Almost crowned a brand new interim women's world television champion right there.

00:39:58And I love it when I see wrestlers do things to adjust to their size to continue to get the work done.

00:40:03Rose doing the kick.

00:40:05Miu ducks that kick.

00:40:07And that was crucial from Yuka.

00:40:09Almost landed a variation of the skull kick.

00:40:12And ooh.

00:40:14Lance the shot there.

00:40:15And it's Yuka.

00:40:17The violence.

00:40:18No, no.

00:40:19With a smile on her face.

00:40:20No, no, no.

00:40:21No, no, no.

00:40:21She's going to fall to the outside.

00:40:23What?

00:40:23No, no.

00:40:23No, she said she's not.

00:40:24No.

00:40:25She's just not.

00:40:25I just think.

00:40:26I just know.

00:40:27If this is just not.

00:40:29No.

00:40:30Oh.

00:40:31Oh.

00:40:31She had me fooled.

00:40:34That's an evil smile with the body.

00:40:36Doing everything with a smile on her face.

00:40:40She's like Dexter.

00:40:42Oh, goodness.

00:40:45And Yuka.

00:40:46Look at that.

00:40:47The forearm.

00:40:49Exchange.

00:40:49It's Yuka.

00:40:50It's Miu.

00:40:51It's Yuka.

00:40:53And Yuka again.

00:40:56Planting Miu.

00:40:58Oh, no.

00:41:00Love lost.

00:41:01Tell you what.

00:41:01Miu is so strong, man.

00:41:03Absorb it so much.

00:41:04Yuka Sakazaki is up.

00:41:07Whoa.

00:41:07Big kick there.

00:41:09And slam.

00:41:11Wow.

00:41:12Did you see the tilt on that slam?

00:41:15Miu almost landed on her head.

00:41:18And these two.

00:41:18Who know each other so well from Tokyo Joshi Pro.

00:41:21Oh, that big kick.

00:41:22Rattles Yuka.

00:41:23Oh.

00:41:24Car.

00:41:25Car wheel mule kick.

00:41:26Oh.

00:41:27Spinning kick plants Yuka.

00:41:29This is amazing.

00:41:31Incredible.

00:41:39Mina coming in.

00:41:40Pick of the bounce.

00:41:41Pick of the bounce.

00:41:42Cover.

00:41:42Two.

00:41:43Good try again.

00:41:45Yeah.

00:41:45Why not?

00:41:46One.

00:41:46Two.

00:41:47And Mina.

00:41:49Okay.

00:41:49Hooks the line.

00:41:50Cover.

00:41:51Two.

00:41:51Oh, that was close.

00:41:53Nothing mean about that.

00:41:54She was trying to take advantage of an opportunity.

00:41:57It didn't work.

00:41:59Oh, now pleading for forgiveness.

00:42:02Two of the top wrestlers in Tokyo Joshi Pro history.

00:42:05Look at that.

00:42:06Smart movement right there by Mina.

00:42:08Stand between the two.

00:42:09Casadora rolling through.

00:42:11Stepping through.

00:42:12Inside leg block.

00:42:13Catches Yuka now.

00:42:15Plots Mina.

00:42:16Whoa.

00:42:16Into the knee breaker.

00:42:18And she still has hold of MeU.

00:42:20That was amazing.

00:42:24A little shimmy shake to celebrate.

00:42:26Are you sure?

00:42:27Oh.

00:42:29Unfortunately, the eyes off the prize.

00:42:32A rare up for Sarah from Mina.

00:42:33Persephone.

00:42:37Persephone.

00:42:38Hadn't seen her in a while.

00:42:39Been on the outside of the ring.

00:42:40Waiting for the right opportunity to use his prowess.

00:42:44And the strength.

00:42:45And it's on display right now.

00:42:47As Persephone has Mina up in the air.

00:42:50Back to her feet.

00:42:52I told you, man.

00:42:53This is my pick.

00:42:54Persephone is amazing.

00:42:56That fall away slam.

00:42:58Into the kip up.

00:42:59Two.

00:43:00Two count only.

00:43:02She's your pick, Caprice.

00:43:03You might want to tell her.

00:43:05Valuable seconds being wasted.

00:43:06Especially with a clear ring in these four-way matches, Caprice.

00:43:10Four-corner survival style matches.

00:43:11You got the ring clear.

00:43:12Go for the pin.

00:43:13You got to have eyes all over to see it, man.

00:43:16But it's easier said than done.

00:43:18And just taunting the crowd.

00:43:21Taunting Mina.

00:43:22Yeah, but she has Mina in hand while she's doing it.

00:43:25Mina takes off reverse here.

00:43:27Mina's ring blade.

00:43:32And we are guaranteed to crown a new interim champion here.

00:43:37As Mina.

00:43:38Look at her take to the sky.

00:43:43All the way up top.

00:43:45Persephone.

00:43:46Yeah.

00:43:47Wow.

00:43:48Top row slain blade.

00:43:50Persephone may be out.

00:43:51Hooks the leg.

00:43:52Two.

00:43:53Whoa.

00:43:54I'm going to blame that on the cover.

00:43:56I'm going to blame that on the cover, man.

00:43:58And Mina, we take another look here.

00:44:01Got all of it.

00:44:02Yeah.

00:44:02The neck snapping back now.

00:44:04Mina.

00:44:05Back to live action.

00:44:06Discus for him to the front.

00:44:07Discus for him to the back.

00:44:09Oh.

00:44:10With Persephone's head.

00:44:11Yeah.

00:44:11Oh, back fist misses.

00:44:15It's Persephone.

00:44:17Beautiful.

00:44:17The string won.

00:44:19Oh, throw it over.

00:44:20Into the mound.

00:44:21There's so much great wrestling inside of Persephone, man.

00:44:25Oh, my God.

00:44:26Me, he would have kicked right to the face of Persephone.

00:44:30I mean, right to the face.

00:44:33Me, he was an opportunity now.

00:44:34Wow.

00:44:37As Me, you, and Persephone, two of the strongest women in professional wrestling.

00:44:42They stand.

00:44:46Roll over.

00:44:46Oh, my goodness.

00:44:47Oh, wow.

00:44:48Wow.

00:44:49That was almost dead.

00:44:55Let's call that a spider bridge.

00:44:58There's so much Persephone does for her size.

00:45:02That's just amazing.

00:45:03It's just great wrestling.

00:45:05You could say the same about the woman.

00:45:06She's in there right now with Me, you.

00:45:09For the roll-up.

00:45:10Roll through the stack.

00:45:11No, it's Persephone up.

00:45:12Oh, drop kick.

00:45:13It is hard to control Persephone.

00:45:15Me, you, is just fighting that out.

00:45:19Persephone taking her time on the approach to Me, you.

00:45:24Face lock, the forearms.

00:45:26Persephone and Me, you.

00:45:28Do they realize that they are alone in the ring right now?

00:45:31Caprice in one move could earn them the championship.

00:45:33They realize that I think Persephone is trying to use the best time.

00:45:36Look at this.

00:45:38Just to fix a tip.

00:45:39And it's Me, you, fighting out of it.

00:45:43Now with a sleeper hold.

00:45:45Ooh.

00:45:46Elbow into the jaw.

00:45:48Oh, kick to the batter.

00:45:49Back of the head.

00:45:50Through the front of the face.

00:45:52By Me, you.

00:45:53Another kick to the ear.

00:45:57Persephone may be out, Rickabani.

00:46:00Me, you.

00:46:01That's different thoughts.

00:46:05Maybe looking for some insurance just to make sure with the caliber of athlete.

00:46:09And Persephone is beautiful slam.

00:46:12Two.

00:46:12And it's Mina and just in time.

00:46:14Yuka in.

00:46:15Wow.

00:46:16Stock gun drop kick to the knee.

00:46:19Hyper-extending the knee of Mina.

00:46:24And it is Yuka now delivering the shots to the jaw.

00:46:28Uh-oh.

00:46:29Hammer lock.

00:46:30And Yuka.

00:46:33With the hammer lock slam.

00:46:37Wow.

00:46:39Oh.

00:46:39And Me is in perfect position.

00:46:42Me is in perfect position for that magic curl splash.

00:46:45Mina sees it.

00:46:47It's going to try to put to that figure four.

00:46:49Wait a second.

00:46:50That's the figure four in.

00:46:51That doesn't change anything.

00:46:53Hey.

00:46:53The figure four is locked in.

00:46:55Look at you.

00:46:56You've been doing the calculus here.

00:46:58Yeah.

00:46:58There you go.

00:46:59You can figure it out where we have completed.

00:47:01Absolutely.

00:47:02Magic girl splash.

00:47:05And Me, you.

00:47:07She's trying to make a cover.

00:47:08And Me, you's trying to get out of the ring.

00:47:10And Persephone breaks up the near certain three count there after the magic girl splash.

00:47:15From the figure four.

00:47:17The Me, you's hurt.

00:47:18And so is Mina.

00:47:19Persephone on the outside with Yuka.

00:47:21Going to inflict some more damage to the hardest part of the ring.

00:47:24Looking for that pile driver.

00:47:25Instead, it's Yuka Sakazaki.

00:47:28Whoa.

00:47:31This exchange.

00:47:33Aubrey Yickford here.

00:47:35With the interim women's world television title hanging in the balance.

00:47:38This is amazing.

00:47:39You can hear it in the crowd.

00:47:41And in the ring, it is Mina Shirakawa.

00:47:46Me, you's body is willing.

00:47:48Her mind is willing, but the body is weak.

00:47:51Back fist.

00:47:51Oh, that heavy forearm.

00:47:54Me, you loading up skull kick block.

00:47:56Dragon screw liquid.

00:47:57That's a nasty, nasty dragon screw.

00:48:00Mina, stepping through.

00:48:03Figure four locked in.

00:48:05Dead center.

00:48:06Figure four locked in.

00:48:08And the bridge.

00:48:09The bridge.

00:48:11Mina, stepping off.

00:48:13Whoa.

00:48:15The winner of this match, by submission, and new interim ring of honor women's world television champion, Mina Shirakawa.

00:48:29They are on their feet, Rickabani.

00:48:33And Mina Shirakawa remains undefeated in ring of honor, but more importantly, captures her first championship in the house of honor.

00:48:43I'll tell you what, that was impressive.

00:48:45Another thing that's impressive, anytime you get a submission on a match with more than two people involved.

00:48:51Figure four executed well.

00:48:53Two on the outside, two on the inside.

00:48:55Here we go.

00:48:55Oh, wow.

00:48:57Red Velvet.

00:48:59Who had to watch this match.

00:49:04Oh.

00:49:07And we don't need to read lips.

00:49:10Because that message is loud and clear.

00:49:12When the time is right.

00:49:13Yeah.

00:49:14When Red Velvet is cleared.

00:49:15Mina, Mina, Mina.

00:49:17We'll see.

00:49:19International superstar, Mina Shirakawa.

00:49:23Mina, if she is the champion.

00:49:25And Red Velvet.

00:49:28But what a moment for Mina Shirakawa.

00:49:32Especially in this gigantic all-in Texas weekend.

00:49:39It started with Dynamite.

00:49:41Last night.

00:49:42Collision.

00:49:43Tonight, Super Card of Honor.

00:49:45And Mina Shirakawa.

00:49:50Oh, she wants to stir it up.

00:49:52Whoa.

00:49:53That's the fun.

00:49:54Whoa.

00:49:55They're going to stir it up in the kitchen.

00:49:57Whoa.

00:49:58In the mama's kitchen.

00:49:59Well, we got to wait until Red's cleared.

00:50:01Red's got no problem.

00:50:02But it is the doctors.

00:50:04Let's make it clear.

00:50:05Doctors made it clear.

00:50:06Yes.

00:50:06Stir it up in the mama's kitchen.

00:50:07I got to call my mama.

00:50:08I have to say happy birthday to my mom.

00:50:11Happy birthday, Shelly.

00:50:12As Mina Shirakawa victorious here tonight.

00:50:17What a great moment.

00:50:21And fans, Mina Shirakawa makes history here tonight.

00:50:25One of the top stars in professional wrestling, men or women's undefeated streak.

00:50:30But also capturing her first Ring of Honor championship.

00:50:33Absolutely beautiful championship.

00:50:34And I like the way that she was showing Red Velvet.

00:50:36Hey, I'm going to defend this championship.

00:50:37I'm going to give it the best shot that it has.

00:50:39And when you return, you get a shot.

00:50:41There's no better respect.

00:50:42There's no better honor to show a champion.

00:50:44Something like that.

00:50:45And that's a match worth waiting for.

00:50:47And someone that won't have to wait is Mina Shirakawa.

00:50:49As tomorrow night, all in Texas.

00:50:51Tomorrow afternoon, Mina enters the Casino Gauntlet Battle Royal.

00:50:56If Mina's number's drawn.

00:50:57Now, we know that match can end at any time, Capri.

00:50:59It can end at one and two.

00:51:00But if Mina's number's drawn, she could go on to win a shot

00:51:04at the AEW Women's World Championship.

00:51:06And someone that has their eyes on both gold in Ring of Honor and AEW is this woman.

00:51:14As a highly accomplished professional wrestler that mixes refined technique with her extensive

00:51:23karate background, Shuri is one of the most compelling athletes of her generation.

00:51:27And now she has her sights set on the United States.

00:51:30This electrifying striker is intent on adding American gold to her already extensive resume.

00:51:36Shuri has proven that she has the ability to dominate opponents at an extremely high level.

00:51:40And will be bringing her scary skill set to Arshore soon.

00:51:45Shuri is coming.

00:51:49There's no way Shuri on her way!

00:51:53Hey, we've been told!

00:51:55Ring of Honor, AEW, we've got the Casino Gauntlet tomorrow.

00:51:59We're going to see some amazing stars.

00:52:02And the two biggest in the Ring of Honor Women's World Title Division.

00:52:06Well, it's the first half of our double main event.

00:52:09Here tonight, Athena defends 950 days of championship reign against La Mara Mara.

00:52:16Thunder Rosa, Ring of Honor Women's World Title on the line!

00:52:24Hey!

00:52:26Hey!

00:52:28Hey!

00:52:29Let's go!

00:52:30I am the Fallen Goddess!

00:52:32The Forever Champion!

00:52:34The American Joshi!

00:52:36The main event!

00:52:38She's the most dominant champion Ring of Honor has ever seen!

00:52:41There's so many ways that Athena can defeat you!

00:52:43Oh, we've seen this too many times!

00:52:45Athena will drive her opponent's heads into the championship belt after victory!

00:52:50The cruelty is the point right now!

00:52:52No, no, no!

00:52:54Thunder Rosa!

00:52:56You, Athena, have something that I've been wanting for a long time!

00:53:00And that's the Ring of Honor Women's Championship!

00:53:02I need to solidify the most epic reign in all of pro wrestling!

00:53:08This is my home!

00:53:10This is my career!

00:53:13Well, you're wrong!

00:53:14You're absolutely wrong!

00:53:15You and I!

00:53:16And Super Guard of Honor!

00:53:18I'm going to make an example out of you and anyone else that decides to skip the line!

00:53:24The time is up!

00:53:25Because it's Thunder Time!

00:53:35The extensive history between these two great athletes has led us to Arlington, Texas!

00:53:42Two Texans, who claim the state their own, are fighting not only for pride in their state, but for the richest prize!

00:53:59But Thunder Rosa has deep ties to Ring of Honor!

00:54:03The competitor who was seeking the challenge for Ring of Honor gold took an opportunity with

00:54:12AEW captured the title here, but in her heart, in her mind, she knew that she would be back

00:54:18one day, not only at home here in Texas, but in Ring of Honor competing for the title, Caprice!

00:54:24Competing for the title, continuing to make history, the first mentally-born woman to hold

00:54:30U.S. Major, U.S. World titles, and now trying to be the first woman to hold the AEW's World

00:54:38Championship and the Ring of Honor Women's World Championship, always trying to make history,

00:54:43always trying to make a statement for women in wrestling, is the La Mara Mara Thunder Rosa,

00:54:50trying to elevate the game as a whole, a rising tide lifts all ships, and Thunder Rosa,

00:54:57who can make history here tonight by ending a near 950-day title reign, looks to do that

00:55:04in front of hundreds of friends and family in the sold-out eSports Stadium here in Arlington.

00:55:11But to do that, perhaps the tallest mountain to climb in the history of Ring of Honor, maybe

00:55:16the history of professional wrestling, because this woman carries the weight of Ring of Honor

00:55:22her in her shoulders, and Arlington!

00:55:32She is not alone tonight either, Caprice.

00:55:35Wow!

00:55:38Really looks happy to be there as well.

00:55:42Athena, who captured the championship that she so proudly wears around her waist,

00:55:48that she has taken to Japan, Australia, Mexico, all the way back in Final Battle 2022.

00:55:58Since then, she has had 28 title defenses, 24 different challengers.

00:56:04She has the most appearances on Honor Club, the most victories on Honor Club, the most defenses

00:56:09on Honor Club, the most wins on Honor Club.

00:56:13And tonight, looking to make an exclamation mark in one of Ring of Honor's biggest events

00:56:19on the calendar year.

00:56:21Uh-huh.

00:56:23There is no better man to introduce this huge title bout than the voice of Ring of Honor,

00:56:28Bobby Cruz.

00:56:31Fall-Wing Contest is scheduled for one fall with a 60-minute time limit,

00:56:35and it is for the Ring of Honor Women's World Championship!

00:56:45Introducing first, to my right, the challenger, wrestling out of the graveyards of Tijuana, Mexico,

00:56:52La Meta Meta Fundera Rosa!

00:56:58Her opponent, to my left, is accompanied by Billie Starks, wrestling out of Dallas, Texas.

00:57:16She is the Ring of Honor Women's World Champion,

00:57:22the Fallen Goddess of Xena!

00:57:31It is a battle not only for the Ring of Honor Women's World Championship,

00:57:36for the heart and soul of the great state of Texas, but also

00:57:40the heart and soul of women's professional wrestling, Caprice.

00:57:45So much on the line here.

00:57:47This might be the match of the night, one of the greatest anticipated matches.

00:57:51Look at the Women's Ring of Honor World Championship right there.

00:57:56That's what's on the line.

00:57:59The Nerosa here to make history.

00:58:02Athena here to continue the history she is making

00:58:05as the longest reigning defending defenses

00:58:08champion of all time in Ring of Honor.

00:58:13Code of Honor adhered to.

00:58:15A stare-off to start.

00:58:16It's in his crowd, torn in between both Texas wrestlers, Athena closer to home.

00:58:26Oh, but they turn out for Thunder Rosa.

00:58:28Yeah, Thunder Rosa, Mexican-born, U.S. raised.

00:58:30And let's talk about the role both women have played in elevating

00:58:36the Ring of Honor Women's World Championship.

00:58:39It was when the original version of the title was created

00:58:42that Thunder Rosa legitimized it by joining the original division.

00:58:45It was then Athena who captured the revitalized title

00:58:49and made it must-see television, must-see violence week after week after week

00:58:54dispensing both title challengers and proving ground competitors left and right.

00:59:00It's a lot in that lock-up, man.

00:59:02Showing that there is no games, plants a lot of animosity inside this matchup as well.

00:59:08Both wrestlers that hate each other and respect each other at the same time.

00:59:11Nothing to be said.

00:59:12Another thing to be said about the days that Athena's been champion,

00:59:16Thunder Rosa was champion for 495 days,

00:59:18and she never lost that title with the body.

00:59:20She had to relinquish that title due to injury.

00:59:23Excellent point.

00:59:24Off the rope, shoulder tackle.

00:59:25Nobody moves.

00:59:28Still met so far in this match.

00:59:31Back to the lock-up again.

00:59:33And Caprice, I think this is what we anticipated out of the gate.

00:59:36Both women are too smart to go at it.

00:59:38They're still at a fast pace.

00:59:39Both women know they've got to feel each other out

00:59:40to see where the other woman is in this huge half of our double main event.

00:59:44Absolutely.

00:59:45It's a filling-out process that takes a little bit of time,

00:59:47especially when you're a champion or you have championship experience.

00:59:51You don't want to rush into anything and make any mistakes,

00:59:54because you can lose the match at any time.

00:59:56You can be locked into a matchup or you can be pinned.

00:59:59And both wrestlers know that.

01:00:01Look at that.

01:00:02Cover.

01:00:03Great wrestling right here, man.

01:00:05Great wrestling.

01:00:05Double wrist lock countered into the half-crab.

01:00:07Picks the ankle.

01:00:08Oh, there's Athena looking for an ankle lock instead.

01:00:11Holding on to that.

01:00:12Pushing out.

01:00:13No, Athena holding on.

01:00:14Yep.

01:00:15It's great wrestling, man.

01:00:16It's inside of all the wrestling inside this ring,

01:00:19all the hatred, all the animosity.

01:00:21There are two great wrestlers inside there just playing a great chest match.

01:00:24And that's what wrestling's about.

01:00:26And a double wrist lock.

01:00:27Athena relieving some of the pressure by locking her own hands,

01:00:31preventing the hyperextension, preventing that left-to-right movement as best she can.

01:00:35Big lock inside.

01:00:37That sigil lock keeping that lace in.

01:00:39Not trying to rush anything, hold it on as much as she can.

01:00:41Athena with the arms laced there, trying to keep that pressure off.

01:00:44Wow.

01:00:45Thunder Rosa's trying to bring in that armbar.

01:00:47Athena back to her feet, takes that shoulder block from Thunder Rosa.

01:00:50Rethinking plans here.

01:00:52Frustrated.

01:00:52But Athena's some person that could change game plans on a whim.

01:00:55Absolutely.

01:00:56There's often a Jekyll and a Hyde to Athena.

01:00:59We've seen it in her matches.

01:01:00She has that clip she can switch.

01:01:02But the danger against a competitor like Thunder Rosa of her pedigree,

01:01:06of her experience, is you might want to flip that switch a little bit quicker,

01:01:10a little bit faster before you miss the opportunity to flip the switch.

01:01:12I'll tell you what, that peckle-Mr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde mentality

01:01:16can also cost you if you pull it out too early because you're not really thinking straight.

01:01:20And I think at this time of the match with the body of Thelen needs all the things she can

01:01:25to get ahead in the match against Thunder Rosa.

01:01:28Wow.

01:01:29Great roll through there.

01:01:29And it's Thunder Rosa, springboard, ooh, the knee.

01:01:33Driving down.

01:01:34Right into that shoulder, already a focus for Thunder Rosa.

01:01:38Watch your head, Thunder.

01:01:40Watch your head.

01:01:46Thunder Rosa taking the time right there, right back to that lace.

01:01:49And then on, isolated, pulling at the shoulder, pulling at the elbow,

01:01:53trying to dislocate that shoulder, a finger in trouble,

01:01:56trying to get to the ropes as fast as possible.

01:01:58Let's go, boss!

01:01:59That's a great call of Caprice because this could have lasting damage throughout the bow.

01:02:03Yeah.

01:02:04And part of me wonders if Thunder Rosa, wait a minute, ooh, nice stack!

01:02:09She's gotten Athena to wrestle.

01:02:11Wait a minute.

01:02:12Athena is usually a little bit more high impact right out of the gate.

01:02:15And it's almost, the mental game that's happening is almost more impressive to me than the physical game.

01:02:23And we're seeing manifestations of it.

01:02:24You're right.

01:02:25It's definitely mental right there.

01:02:27And Thunder Rosa going right back to the middle of the ring.

01:02:29But being bathed to the outside by Athena to the outside of the ring.

01:02:33I think this is where Athena tries things.

01:02:36This is where Athena gains the advantage at, man.

01:02:38She's so vindictive, always planning, always thinking ahead.

01:02:41Yep.

01:02:42I knew it, man.

01:02:43And I'm telling you, the way that this champion thinks is the champion for a long time.

01:02:47Thunder Rosa's hit head first into that corner post.

01:02:51And Athena willingly giving up her own body.

01:02:54Oh!

01:02:54Risking it again, but delivers on that slam to the apron.

01:03:01The minion overlord is getting ready to take over and inflict the damage that she's intended to do on Thunder Rosa.

01:03:10On the outside of the ring, there's nobody as dangerous as Athena.

01:03:14But it's Thunder Rosa who knows that, who now is picking up the pace.

01:03:18But it's Athena sending Thunder Rosa to the barricade.

01:03:22Caught.

01:03:23And it's the Bible, man.

01:03:24Thunder Rosa knows it, but she's trying to survive as much as she can.

01:03:28But Athena knows she's on the outside.

01:03:30All these weapons she can use and not get disqualified.

01:03:33I know she's going to use them.

01:03:35And that's a spine-shivering chug.

01:03:39That slam into that upper part of the barricade.

01:03:42For anybody that's had herniated discs, for anybody that's woken up with their back injured,

01:03:47you feel the pins and needles caprice, that's got to be what Thunder Rosa's doing right now.

01:03:52Absolutely.

01:03:52You can see right there, the crowds.

01:03:54Feels good.

01:03:56But Athena knowing that she's in control, grabbing to the center of the ring.

01:04:01Now, Athena puts Thunder Rosa in the middle of the ring and starts back wrestling.

01:04:06There's nobody like the champion that we have here in Athena.

01:04:10Well, this is the two sides of the coin we were talking about.

01:04:14Just when it looked like Athena was going to amp up the pace, going back to the wrestling,

01:04:20back to the hair of the challenger.

01:04:22It's almost like she has that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde that she could turn on and off when she wants to as well.

01:04:27And now the lateral press, right out of it, Thunder Rosa.

01:04:33Not even a one cow, man.

01:04:36Soaring the heart that the challenger has.

01:04:40Fighting from underneath.

01:04:42Trying to break free from the champion.

01:04:45Thunder Rosa has it locked in.

01:04:47Front face lock here.

01:04:48Athena, who has elevated the Ring of Honor Women's World title to main event status.

01:04:54Headline status.

01:04:55Cover one.

01:04:55Tell you right, even right there, man, Athena was getting ready to kick.

01:05:00Thunder Rosa in the back.

01:05:01Thunder Rosa fell.

01:05:02Athena went right to the press.

01:05:04Capitalizing on the opportunity.

01:05:06Able to change what you're thinking.

01:05:08But whatever's going on that knee right to the rear.

01:05:10You see, the back is already laced up.

01:05:13You see the tape on the back of Thunder Rosa.

01:05:16Athena knows what she's doing.

01:05:18I see a two genius, too.

01:05:19That early game plan for Thunder Rosa.

01:05:21I loved what Thunder was doing to that arm, that shoulder of Athena.

01:05:25But it's Athena who's found the target on the back of Thunder Rosa.

01:05:29And making her pay.

01:05:30One, two, three.

01:05:32Go, come on.

01:05:40Oh, my goodness.

01:05:42Athena.

01:05:44Referee Mike Posey trying to get things out of the ropes.

01:05:46Unfortunately, that works against Thunder Rosa.

01:05:49Athena doing even more damage in the center of the ring.

01:05:52Athena has bad intentions, man.

01:05:54With everything that she does.

01:05:56And now, my goodness, capitalizing with that backsplash.

01:06:00Two.

01:06:00Like Hook gets a two.

01:06:02Look at the eyes of Athena.

01:06:04They're already evil, but being red makes it even worse.

01:06:08And we saw Thunder Rosa almost going into self-defense style mode there.

01:06:13To try and block those shots.

01:06:15Too many of them from the world champion.

01:06:16And the match will end very quickly.

01:06:19Yeah.

01:06:20And I think Athena knows this, man.

01:06:21Athena's trying to pour it on as much as she can.

01:06:23You can't get Thunder Rosa down very often.

01:06:27So when you have her down, you have to do as much as you can while she's down.

01:06:30It's inflicted as much damage as possible.

01:06:33Going home.

01:06:33Yep.

01:06:34Thunder Rosa out of the way.

01:06:35It's Athena following back in.

01:06:37The Forrocano!

01:06:38Right back to that shoulder that Thunder Rosa has already put investment in.

01:06:43Went right back to it.

01:06:45Very smart move.

01:06:46Got a challenger.

01:06:47And the crowd here, sold out Esports Stadium, firmly split between these two great athletes

01:06:59competing for the Ring of Honor Women's World Cup.

01:07:02Both back to the feet at the same time.

01:07:04Athena saying, come on, give me what you got.

01:07:08Thunder Rosa willing to do so, sucking up everything to deliver the blows to the outside.

01:07:12Athena throws again, throwing at the hips.

01:07:15Throwing at the shoulders, trying to cover up, but nothing being done here, but damage.

01:07:20Wow!

01:07:22Athena fires up with that running superkick.

01:07:28Thunder Rosa out on her feet.

01:07:30Anytime you see somebody collapse like that, it's involuntary.

01:07:33Your legs give out, protecting your body.

01:07:35Ooh, driving the skull of Athena.

01:07:39And that shoulder, too, into that second turnbuckle.

01:07:44Billy Starks, Athena's minion, her protege on the outside.

01:07:51That momentum, it looked like Athena was going to hit the top turnbuckle, shifted it to the bottom turnbuckle,

01:07:58knocking the balance off the champion.

01:08:00Shoulder first into that turnbuckle.

01:08:02Our champion's in trouble, Riccoboni.

01:08:03Certainly is, but the challenger, unfortunately, couldn't capitalize right away, Caprice.

01:08:10Yeah, the damage has been done on the lower back of Thunder Rosa.

01:08:14Ooh, in the shoulder of Athena.

01:08:16Now both women know the other's kryptonite here.

01:08:19Everything that Thunder Rosa has done so far is trying to create space to recover from the injuries that she has.

01:08:27She's had enough time away now.

01:08:28She's in control.

01:08:29I can tell because she's standing close to Athena after her attacks.

01:08:33Now charging in.

01:08:34The challenger delivers a back elbow on the champion.

01:08:37The champion down in the corner.

01:08:40Ooh, and that lower back is slowing down Thunder Rosa here.

01:08:44Yeah, Thunder Rosa charging in.

01:08:46Delivers the dropkick in the corner.

01:08:49Beautiful dropkick.

01:08:50Going to try to finish it off.

01:08:52Nice Northern Lights right in.

01:08:54Two.

01:08:56A smart shot there from Athena.

01:08:59Look at that.

01:08:59I don't know if Athena's shoulders out of soccer.

01:09:03Now I've been in matches before, man.

01:09:04Well, I've had to pop my shoulder right back in and keep it fighting.

01:09:07But you still lose.

01:09:08They had that numbness inside, man.

01:09:10And I can't tell by the way that Athena's using that shoulder.

01:09:13But Thunder Rosa's standing on that back is the only reason why Athena's still in this match.

01:09:17That's the back of Thunder Rosa.

01:09:18Looking for the Northern Lights again.

01:09:20Oh, goodness.

01:09:21Athena taking full advantage.

01:09:23Backbroker of Theo, two.

01:09:25Took absolute full advantage of that lower back cramping up.

01:09:33Something relatable to our fans at home.

01:09:35Yeah.

01:09:35They're just cramping up.

01:09:40It's a great match, man.

01:09:44Overlord continuing to think on her feet.

01:09:48Changing positions from one corner of the ring.

01:09:57Thunder Rosa making her way up.

01:09:59And second rope on the inside is Athena.

01:10:01Trying to get her footing.

01:10:02It's Thunder Rosa delivering shots to that shoulder.

01:10:05The challenger with control of the champion.

01:10:09Where is she going to take the champion?

01:10:11Top rope Rana.

01:10:12Got it.

01:10:15Athena the smartly.

01:10:17Going to the outside.

01:10:18And Ring of Honor titles don't change.

01:10:19Hands on count.

01:10:20It's Caprice.

01:10:20Yeah, you can see the frustration of Thunder Rosa.

01:10:22What do I do now?

01:10:23She's going to take a risk with Gabani.

01:10:25Pays off.

01:10:28In the eyes of La Marimera.

01:10:31Sensing that the champion is wounded.

01:10:32Look at the way that shoulder is curling Caprice.

01:10:34That's what I was talking about.

01:10:35It might be out of socket there.

01:10:38La Marimera up top.

01:10:39Getting ready to take another risk.

01:10:41And got it.

01:10:43Diving to the outside.

01:10:45Definitely, I think it's out of socket, man.

01:10:47I'm looking at the way she's pressing it.

01:10:49The way she's keeping it close to her body.

01:10:50It's just hanging.

01:10:51Maybe a rotator cuff as we take her.

01:10:53Oh, goodness.

01:10:54Into the stairs.

01:10:55The replay.

01:10:56The cross body.

01:10:58She's going to have to find something to pull her back in.

01:11:00She's going to be fighting.

01:11:01Literally handicapped the rest of the match.

01:11:03It's just hanging right now.

01:11:05But Caprice is someone who's covered Major League Baseball.

01:11:07Somebody who has torn his own rotator cuff.

01:11:09If it's a rotator cuff, there's nothing.

01:11:11There's nothing you can do.

01:11:12If there's the socket, you might be able to pop it back in.

01:11:15But.

01:11:15Hang it.

01:11:16Oh, just hanging right there.

01:11:17Yeah.

01:11:19Yep.

01:11:20Yep.

01:11:20You see she comes from.

01:11:21It's over now.

01:11:22I've done the damage I need to do.

01:11:24This drop.

01:11:25Sheer drop.

01:11:26I got right on that shoulder.

01:11:28Thunder Rosa knows exactly what she's doing.

01:11:30She is taking the investment, the payoffs,

01:11:34on the damage that she has made.

01:11:37And getting ready to close in to become the new ring of honor

01:11:39women's champion.

01:11:40If she executes this move, it could be over.

01:11:44Double stomp.

01:11:45Goodness.

01:11:45Make the cover.

01:11:46On the champion.

01:11:47Wow.

01:11:48On the champion.

01:11:49That was nasty.

01:11:50That lower back locked up.

01:11:51But the cover here.

01:11:52One, two.

01:11:53Can we have a new champion now?

01:11:54Oh, heart.

01:11:55The champion is crying.

01:11:57I've got to see this again.

01:11:58Look at this drop right here on the shoulder.

01:12:00Watch the shoulder with Thana right there.

01:12:02Great angle there.

01:12:03And then the double stomp.

01:12:06And Thunder Rosa didn't get the height she normally gets.

01:12:09Didn't get the landing she normally gets.

01:12:10That lower back locked up.

01:12:12She went right back to it, Caprice.

01:12:13I think if it was earlier in the match, she might have had a victory there.

01:12:16But she landed on the shoulder.

01:12:18The target was hit.

01:12:20The target was hit so much that the champion just pushed the same space and went to the

01:12:25other side of the ring, retreating from the challenge.

01:12:28How many times have we seen Athena retreat, Caprice?

01:12:30Right?

01:12:31Almost now.

01:12:32I can't recall a single time.

01:12:34She is retreating, hiding, trying to buy time.

01:12:37Oh, she now wants to leave.

01:12:38No, she.

01:12:39Yeah.

01:12:39I mean, if she leaves, she retains.

01:12:41Oh, no.

01:12:42Oh, Billy Starks.

01:12:44Oh, Thunder Rosa.

01:12:46The counter.

01:12:47Billy into the steps.

01:12:49I didn't think Billy Starks was going to be interfering.

01:12:52But what was I thinking?

01:12:54Athena, a ploy to decoy the referee.

01:12:58Running interference, Billy Starks.

01:13:02Even though Thunder Rosa came out better in that exchange.

01:13:06It still takes energy out of Thunder Rosa.

01:13:07Yeah, but it bought the time that Athena needed to regain control.

01:13:11And now she has baited the challenger to the outside of the ring.

01:13:15And Athena's going to do what Athena does best.

01:13:17Oh!

01:13:19Weaving through the chokeslam.

01:13:22Off the ramp, through the table.

01:13:24That evil smile from the minion overlord that we have seen over and over again.

01:13:31We take a look off.

01:13:34God!

01:13:34That lower...

01:13:35Check it to make sure that Thunder Rosa can go on.

01:13:45That's a great angle for Sink.

01:13:54Just how far, just how high, and just what a concaphony of violence sounds like.

01:14:01Like a wounded villain.

01:14:05The champion goes right back into the inside of the ring.

01:14:08And our medical staff is pleading with Thunder Rosa saying you do not have to continue.

01:14:11Giving her a choice.

01:14:12If you do not wish.

01:14:13And Athena, well, Athena say, King.

01:14:19And Mike Posey saying no.

01:14:21Mike Posey saying no.

01:14:22She said don't you dare try to, don't you dare try to, don't you dare, don't you dare pass it in.

01:14:31Posey's going to throw the exit.

01:14:36May not be the smartest move.

01:14:38Heart and soul from the challenger.

01:14:40Backbreaker.

01:14:42Athena with blood in the water.

01:14:44And one arm.

01:14:45Cover.

01:14:46Two.

01:14:48And it's not just the arm, it's that shoulder.

01:14:49It's stabilizing, it's the movement, it's everything.

01:14:53Athena was able to.

01:14:57Against the challenger.

01:14:59Both women fighting with everything they have.

01:15:01Trap caught.

01:15:02Caught.

01:15:07Into the half crowd.

01:15:08Athena rolls two.

01:15:09Two.

01:15:10Both women now back up.

01:15:11The champion with a knockout.

01:15:15Hooks the leg.

01:15:16Two and no.

01:15:18Mimi have fallen to that forearm out of nowhere.

01:15:22That low level forearm that Athena throws knocking opponents out.

01:15:27She's won victories in less than 10 seconds because of that.

01:15:32Certainly has.

01:15:34That shoulder.

01:15:35Hanging on by Bone and Sinu right now.

01:15:39As the champion.

01:15:41Makes her ascent.

01:15:42She's going to try to hit the O-Face.

01:15:45Trying to climb her tallest mountain.

01:15:47It's Thunder Rosa.

01:15:48Oh.

01:15:49My goodness.

01:15:52Thunder Rosa.

01:15:53This right here is a met.

01:15:54Look.

01:15:55Attack of the arms.

01:15:56Smart move.

01:15:57She is moving.

01:15:58Yep.

01:16:00Is she going to.

01:16:01Oh.

01:16:01Wait a minute.

01:16:03Triangle choke.

01:16:04She has a test.

01:16:05She has to let it go though.

01:16:06She has to let it go.

01:16:07And Thunder Rosa.

01:16:11Great call by Mike Posey.

01:16:13She was unable to dismount.

01:16:15She was stuck.

01:16:16Yeah.

01:16:17But I tell you what.

01:16:18If her arm was not out of socket before.

01:16:20It is definitely out of socket now.

01:16:23And Thunder Rosa knows it.

01:16:25And Thunder Rosa.

01:16:26Doing all she can.

01:16:27That lower back.

01:16:28Giving her fits and spurts.

01:16:30It's Athena with one arm.

01:16:32And this time.

01:16:34This time.

01:16:35Play it for the challenger.

01:16:36Two.

01:16:37Oh.

01:16:38Capitalizing on the timing.

01:16:41Thunder Rosa was going for that runner again.

01:16:44Athena knew it.

01:16:45Capitalized on the timing.

01:16:47Wrapping up.

01:16:48Side surfboard.

01:16:49Side surfboard here.

01:16:51Pulling at the chin.

01:16:53Wow.

01:16:55Thunder Rosa in trouble.

01:16:56Thunder Rosa is fading.

01:16:58She's got to make a choice.

01:16:58She's thinking about tapping.

01:17:00Oh.

01:17:00She's tapping.

01:17:01She's tapping.

01:17:04The winner of this match.

01:17:06By submission.

01:17:08And still.

01:17:11Ring of Honor.

01:17:12Women's World Champion.

01:17:15Hosena.

01:17:18Half of the room is excited.

01:17:20Half of the room has the air sucked out of them.

01:17:25The history making barrier breaking.

01:17:28Gender defying champion.

01:17:31A woman who put the title of the women's championship on equal footing to the men's championship.

01:17:40In the main event.

01:17:41In the main event.

01:17:43Our first half of our double main event.

01:17:46Athena.

01:17:47Had to fight the match of her life.

01:17:49Emphasis on fight against Thunder Rosa.

01:17:51There is a reason why.

01:17:52There is a reason why Athena calls herself the forever champion.

01:17:56There is a reason why Athena calls herself the forever champion.

01:17:57And right there.

01:18:00Billie starts looking like she's willing to be there.

01:18:03As the champion stands tall.

01:18:06The reign of the rule of Athena continues into the summer toward the fall.

01:18:15The fallen goddess has not fallen here tonight.

01:18:21Instead standing atop the mountain once more.

01:18:27No denying the performance by both of these women.

01:18:33Thunder Rosa.

01:18:35Great performance.

01:18:37Athena.

01:18:38Great performance.

01:18:39Arms still out of socket.

01:18:41What a champion.

01:18:43What a match.

01:18:44What a defense.

01:18:47An incredible win for the fallen goddess Athena.
