01:29I'll tell you what, man, I've seen these guys in action on the Indy scene. These guys are not only back, but they seem to be better than ever, man.
01:44Hunger to be back in the ring and very forward as well.

01:53Their opponents, rescuing in Miami Beach, Florida.
01:57At a combined weight of 457 pounds.
02:01Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd, the Outrunners!
02:08I feel like I'm in a time war.
02:10Standing near the top of the Ring of Honor Tag Team Division!
02:14Truth and Turbo!
02:16Undefeated for over a year in Ring of Honor competition.
02:22Taking it to FTR in Arlington.
02:26And now here in Ring of Honor in the tag team title hunt.
02:31I heard these guys summer in Newport, Rhode Island.
02:35Look at that, the double bicep.
02:41And non-filtered, right there, the Outrunners.
02:52Well, Aubrey Edwards calling for the code of honor.
02:56I'm going to start things off.
02:58Truth Magnum, Anthony Henry.
03:00Oh!
03:02And you know it's a handshake.
03:05Oh!

03:20AEW Ring of Honor, collar and elbow tie-up at Caprice.
03:24The very best from all around the world.
03:25They're coming to London, England.

03:45Henry with a big slam.
03:47Wrestling all over the world.
03:49Uh-oh.
03:51And Henry could not find truth.
03:54And a big slam!
03:55I'm so glad that the Work Horsemen are wrestling the Outrunners here.
03:59The Outrunners have been on the roll since the Work Horsemen have left.
04:02And to see the difference that the Outrunners have made since the last time.
04:06We show the Work Horsemen where the Tag Team Division is right now.
04:09Well, that's absolutely right.
04:11Look at that hip toss.
04:12I mean, say what you will about the Premier Athletes.
04:14They're on all cylinders.
04:15Tag made.
04:16In comes J.D. Drake.
04:17The Dark Order has had their eyes on gold.
04:19S.A.P. Lee Johnson and Blake Christian who we'll see later tonight.
04:25What?
04:26He said he wants the old one.
04:27You know, J.D. Drake has a lot of experience with old school wrestling.
04:30He was trained by George South.
04:32Well.
04:34There we go.
04:37And...
04:38Tag made!
04:39Turbo Floyd, the legal man.
04:42You know, even some of the teams we haven't named yet.
04:45I'm thinking about LFI.
04:46Some of the great combinations that the world champion Bandino's been a part of.
04:50No strangers to double champions here at ROH.
04:54Caprice, how about the frat house?
04:57How about the infantry?
04:58Or any combination of STP.
05:00Or any combination of the conglomeration.
05:02Yeah.
05:04And...
05:05Whoa!
05:06Whoa!
05:09Wow!
05:12Oh!
05:13You can't turn your back on a Work Horseman though.
05:15The knife head's chopped there.
05:19And so far...
05:21As both J.D. Drake and Henry cleared for medical return.
05:25Caprice!
05:27They look like the injuries aren't holding a bag.
05:29It looks like the outrunners simply might be out wrestling to this point.
05:33Yeah, it's just a new dimension, man.
05:35The tactics in the business.
05:36It's straining right here.
05:37Trying to get J.D. Drake off his feet.
05:38Goes right back to the headlock.
05:40That's terrible Floyd.
05:41Shot off.
05:42Reverse.
05:43Drop down.
05:44Drop kick.
05:45Oh!
05:46Oh!
05:47Turbo!
05:48Oh!
05:49Right again.
05:50And I have to try something.
05:51That's doing so much damage to your back there.
05:54J.D. Drake's a big man.
05:56And he's able to hold that gravity down to keep you from picking him up.
06:01Well, those are unforced errors for the outrunners!
06:05I mean, like you said Caprice, every time you try and slam someone unsuccessfully, it's the strain on that lower back.
06:11Absolutely.
06:12And he stays with you the rest of the week, man.
06:14Not just the match.
06:15The week.
06:16It's like lifting in the gym wrong.
06:18Nice run in there.
06:19Whoa!
06:20Truth Rana!
06:21Drop kick there!
06:25Into the corners of the outrunners there.
06:28Wow!
06:29A little revenge.
06:32Tag made.
06:33I don't know if you want to get a strike fest with J.D. Drake.
06:36That's just me.
06:37No!
06:38Oh!
06:39Running knee!
06:40And...
06:41Oh!
06:42Not again!
06:43Yeah!
06:44J.D. Drake not leaving the ground.
06:45Makes the tag!
06:46Henry in!
06:49Swing and a miss!
06:50Oh!
06:51But Henry a little lighter!
06:52Yeah!
06:53Tell you what, man.
06:54You lift heavy weight and then you go to a lighter weight.
06:56That lighter weight seems so much lighter.
06:59They call it a drop set, right?
07:01Absolutely!
07:02Riccoboni's been working out and running.
07:04We tagging soon.
07:05Whoa!
07:06Two!
07:07Three!
07:08Four!
07:09Five!
07:10Oh, look at this.
07:11The double punches in the corner.
07:14Two!
07:15Two!
07:16Wow!
07:17Ten for each, a 20 for the outrunners.
07:20The double bicep there.
07:22Tag made.
07:23I don't know if I want to get my undefeated streak up in wrestling or in Iron Man triathlons, Caprice.
07:30Both of these teams undefeated 20-25 will ring of honor.
07:34Well, that's right.
07:35Look at that.
07:36Nice drop down.
07:38Certainly have the champions in mind.
07:39Oh!
07:40But to get there, one of these teams is going to have to win this bout.
07:43Continue the roll.
07:44Whoa!
07:45There goes Henry.
07:46I've really been impressed with the outrunners matches against FTR.
07:49Absolutely.
07:50Oh!
07:51Good.
07:52Jadie Drake.
07:53The big bear hug.
07:54Oh!
07:55Oh!
07:56That ricochet full arm, man.
07:58Workhorsemen has taken FTR today and then misses well.
08:02Absolutely.
08:03Inside the rim!
08:04Oh!
08:05Get through that!
08:06The workhorsemen have been undefeated.
08:07This is their first match as a duo here in 2025 on ROH.
08:08The...
08:09Phenomenal record.
08:10Ooh!
08:11Technically that makes them undefeated.
08:13Here goes the running bus!
08:14Wow!

08:30Back!
08:31Back!
08:32And another tag made the quick tax for the workhorsemen are really wardening off truth magnum here
08:43Let's tell you what man it shows you that that oil in the machine is still going right man
08:48There's no rush showing there taking their time dictating the pace man cutting the ring off
08:55Truth Magnum in a lot of trouble right now. There was a tag made there as well. Watch this and all the neck twist and to the
09:02time
09:03Driving the air all the weight right there in the core jd drake just stay in there
09:11And
09:12And jd drake
09:14The pain clearly radiating through the ribcage the air expelled out of the esophagus
09:22Tell you what, man
09:24Back pain that truth magnum could be going through and the ribcage the core pain so much going on right now
09:31And jd drake just slammed them again
09:35Second rope and it's jd
09:39The drake bomb
09:41Magnum needed that oh
09:43Henry though makes the tag magna. Oh, henry's so smart with the front face lock preventing the tag
09:49That's how you do it put a body in between that tag team partner making it hard for the tag out and still isolating truth magnum
09:56That's the way you do it man. That's great tag team wrestling. That's what the workhorsemen are about
10:01And henry looking for that front face suplex
10:04Yeah
10:07Nobody in between the two now and turbo floyd knows it is ready to get in look at him
10:13He's making some noise trying to get the attention trying to reorient truth magnum and henry grabbing the ankle
10:20Oh
10:22And tag made but
10:24Janie drake has the attention of aubry edwards. I don't i don't think aubry saw the tag with kabani
10:29Oh, no, and she doesn't see it. It can't be legal. That's right. It's got to get out man
10:37comedy should power off to
10:44Not been in that situation before where you make tag and the referee doesn't see it
10:47But it doesn't help to stay in the ring you have to get out man
10:51As fast as possible
10:55And a lot of heart right now from truth magnum, but can he hold on long enough?
10:58Wait a minute. It's a cradle one
11:00Two small package gets two looking for the tag. It's henry now with the waist lock
11:05Magnum's desperate for that tag man so close but so far away trying to fight now
11:12Into the corner gets a hold of drake charging through
11:15And a big body slam
11:31And another
11:36jd drake in oh
11:38Oh
11:41Getting things back in control immediately is jd drake
11:45I think he hit turbo floyd right in the eyes man
11:49The irish whip reversed terrible floyd oh tucking down i think turbo floyd has been weakened by that
11:56back attempts
11:58wait a second oh my goodness
12:01he got it
12:02he got the body slam
12:04You can tell jd drake felt that man he's still down he's not moving

13:54in our main event it was a back and forth affair
13:56rocky romero of the don callus family getting himself involved allowing echicero
14:01to swing out hit the backbreaker and get the three but the extracurriculars
14:07proceeded after the bout as rocky and echicero attack the sap until hologram of the conglomeration made

15:32but sir pentacle no stranger to the singles ranks either
15:36battling kevin knight lee johnson blick christian brandon cutler ricochet to name a few right here on
15:42ROH definitely become a favorite here on honor club for pentacle whether it's a singles or tag
15:47competition we know we're going to see a hundred percent out of this man
15:54well referee aubrey edwards calling for the code of honor and in a bit of
15:59maybe irony or a bit of interest sap's first bout in ROH was a tag team bout against lfi
16:09that team did not include the bsports oh goodness he's just running through sir pentacle right there
16:17the same way he's been running through competition absolutely we talked about being nearly
16:22undefeated his only loss came to then world champion mark briscoe nice drop down there
16:27it is bs mortos wow drop down again thing about it is a lot of times the wrestlers get tired out there
16:34you go nice and lateral press gets a one oh gets a zero
16:41and you're right capri sometimes that is a bit of a turning defense into offense
16:49it shows how much this this huge man side of beast mortos is conditioned as well
16:59beast mortos lfi wait a minute roll up on
17:03they have declared their interests and their sights set on the aew trios championships you got to think
17:08they might have the ROH six-man titles in mind also wow anybody with a beast mortos in
17:17in their team yeah there's a lot of talk about he is the elephant in the room
17:23and the former ROH world champion roosh wow
17:28and you know what so pentacle might have got a a bruised shoulder on that one he might need to buy
17:32something from shophonor.com including the great super card of honor t-shirt from down in texas oh
17:38texas now available limited quantities of those great shirts available
17:45relive a great event a match that many are calling one of the greatest matches in ring of honor history
17:51two between bandito and kanosuke tekesha if you've just joined honor club you can go back and watch
17:59that great event in its entirety with your honor club subscription
18:03i'm so impressed man so a ripcord power slam
18:09so many things that beast mortos has in his arsenal see the power speed agility he brings it all out at
18:16will you're right caprice it's almost an uncanny ability that this man has certainly puts the work in but the
18:24strength the speed the closing speed
18:32you almost can't teach it whoa wait a minute does it make sense it's a walk and plot twist
18:40serpenti you can say the same about serpentico with that double wrist lock takeover and he whoa
18:44he's trying to make the this raging bull beat himself here
18:51tell you what he's been using the beast mortos weight against him it's been working perfectly
18:55whoa
18:57did knock him off his feet that high wrist didn't pay off the way serpentico wanted it to
19:02serpentico's between a rock and a hard place the ring and beast mortos
19:06yeah up and whoa beast mortos into the ring post there serpentico sent back in
19:18but serpentico sees an opening he's gonna close this gap here yep beast mortos hit that steel man
19:24that rain post made of steel i don't care if you beast or humans you're not going to win that battle
19:31mortos slide inside the ring serpentico did not see that flying shoulder tackle from mortos
19:39what speed and agility you need to be able to get inside the ring while somebody is running off the
19:45timing the acceleration for somebody these mortos sides to pull that off it's ultra impressive
19:52certainly is hand around the throat serpentico up and over super kick catches the beast off the ropes
19:58charging in takes out the left leg of the beast mortos now nice hits the jumping flatliner leg hooked
20:06two that's certainly progress compared to the zero count earlier in the night serpentico chipping away
20:13here wrestling a great match as well breaking down the beast just like the tree man hitting him high
20:20and hitting him low the things that he's doing is working it's not working real fast but it's wearing
20:25him down just like you say ruckabond if he keeps it up he can get a win here land on his feet shot off
20:29again yeah that casadora blocked it's mortos though taking serpentico around and down with the backbreaker
20:40spinning clothesline plants serpentico and caprice is the beginning of the end
20:46tonight
20:48beast mortos
20:58here is your winner with the beast mortos
21:04destination hellhole plants serpentico for the one two three beast mortos continues his role
21:16And fans, we talked a little bit about Supercard of Honor.
21:20It was a huge clash on Zero Hour where the Dark Order met the frat house.
21:25Dark Order with revenge on their mind, but the frat house going move for move.
21:29Preston Vance, a little bit of mind games jarring the memory.
21:33We saw some great moves from Cole Carter, but ultimately it was the Dark Order
21:37who planted Griff Garrison.
21:40We thought that was going to be the end of the match
21:43until an unexpected return occurred.
21:48Negative uno.
21:49Brody Lee Jeter coming in to distract Preston Vance.
21:54Dark Order running guard, the three count.
21:57Dark Order stands tall.
22:00At Supercard of Honor, we finally put the frat house
22:03and more specifically Preston Vance in the past.
22:06But we're not going to rest just because we've won one.
22:09No, no, no.
22:10The name of this game is consistency.
22:11And there is not a more consistent team in the last six years than us.
22:16Dripping water hollows out stow not through force, but through persistence.
22:20And nobody embodies that more than the Dark Order.
22:24And every other team in our position would probably say the same exact thing.
22:27We're going for the tag titles, the trio titles.
22:30We're going for all the titles.
22:31But there's one thing we do promise.
22:33Is we will show up, we will kick ass, and leave.
22:36We'll show up, we kick ass, we leave.
22:38We show up, we kick ass, and we leave.
22:40Because we've been doing that since day number one.
22:42The heart and soul of this plate is us.
22:46The longest standing trios in any of the divisions.
22:49So what exactly is the future for Dark Order?
22:52Well, we're going to be giving you our very best.
22:56Because Dark Order is forever.
23:01Wow.
23:02How about the Dark Order?
23:04Very succinct game plan.
23:06This is the tag team bat.
23:09Zipper would fall approaching the ring.
23:11Blake Christian and Lee Johnson.
23:16The Dapper Yapper, Justin Roberts, introduces two young men who are on quite a roll.
23:21Blake Christian on the right, Lee Johnson on the left.
23:23Let's go back to Justin.
23:25And their opponents, David Ali and Isaiah Moore.
23:30They're facing two young men, Caprice, who've really been tearing up the independency.
23:34David Ali and Isaiah Moore.
23:36Isaiah Moore, this guy's amazing.
23:39This guy's fantastic.
23:39This guy's unreal.
23:41This guy's a human highlight.
23:49But they are facing a man who's defeated arguably the greatest Ring of Honor World Champion of all time.
23:54Blake Christian defeated Jay Lethal on Zero Hour on Supercard of Honor.
24:01Lee Johnson, a great bout last week against the former World Television Champion Atlantis Jr.
24:05One thing you can't deny, Riccoboni, is momentum and the momentum that these two young men have been on.
24:13They'll win over somebody like Jay Lethal.
24:15That doesn't go away.
24:16That puts that feather in your cap and in your mind and in your heart.
24:20And it catapults you.
24:21Even if the rankings don't catapult you.
24:23And they do.
24:24But it catapults your mindset.
24:27We're going to start things off here.
24:28Lee Johnson, big shotty.
24:31Of course, coming off that huge match a couple of weeks ago on Dynamite.
24:35Where they took on Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland.
24:39Wow, look at this.
24:40Told you, man.
24:41The human highlight.
24:42There you go.
24:43Yeah.
24:45Ooh.
24:47Isaiah Moore now looking for the O'Connor roll.
24:49And it's Johnson.
24:50Look at that.
24:51O'Connor.
24:51Wow.
24:53And Johnson.
24:55Speed on that slide and forearm.
24:58And Lee Johnson.
24:58Tag made.
25:02And Blake Christian in.
25:03And I know these two men certainly have Death Before Dishonor in mind.
25:08Coming to you Friday, August 29th as part of the huge residency.
25:12In Philadelphia's 2300 Arena for the first time ever.
25:16AEW hosting a multi-night residency from August 27th to September 11th.
25:21Dynamite collision.
25:22And on the 29th of August, Death Before Dishonor.
25:26Oh, information.
25:27How you can buy those tickets at awtix.com as Blake Christian goes downstairs.
25:33Tell you what.
25:33Blake Christian and Lee Johnson are moving at high speed, man.
25:36It's hard to keep up with a team like that that's precision tuned like this.
25:41Of course, those tickets.
25:42Ooh.
25:43Went on sale earlier today.
25:44They're moving quick.
25:46And you got to think Blake Christian, who's pinned to World Series, defeated a World Champion now.
25:51Former World Champion.
25:52Ooh.
25:53Breaking the eyes.
25:53Who's been undefeated in singles action on Honor Club.
25:57Who had that incredible bout that still sticks in my mind.
26:00That final battle when he was a finalist.
26:02Could have walked out of the Hammerstein Ballroom.
26:04A new TV champion.
26:06Went nearly an hour in that survival of the fittest final.
26:09Tell you what, man.
26:10You have guys that watch each other.
26:13Try so hard and never give up, man.
26:15In certain matches, they've been in together.
26:17They see the struggle.
26:19They feel the struggle.
26:20After a while, you become friends, man.
26:22Because you know you have the same mission together.
26:24You might be able to do more.
26:25I say more of that kick.
26:27On his way down.
26:30And looking for the tag.
26:32Gets it.
26:33And in comes David Ali.
26:35Christian.
26:36Hey, Caprice, what I think you're alluding to is the bond that Blake Christian and Lee Johnson
26:41had formed.
26:41Yeah.
26:42Whoa.
26:43Look at how quick Ali is.
26:45David Ali is an amazing athlete here.
26:47Been all over the world.
26:49Continues to wrestle.
26:50Stays in phenomenal shape.
26:52Great name for a step.
26:53Taking that.
26:54Dragon.
26:54Oh, my goodness.
26:56But the tag was made outside the view of Ali.
26:59Whoa.
27:00Two.
27:02And a two count there.
27:03This is breaking that pace, speed.
27:07That Blake Christian and Lee Johnson are moving it.
27:10I've never seen a tag team move this fast and seamless at the same time.
27:15They are certainly.
27:17Wow.
27:18Just collapsing Ali.
27:20And look at Johnson.
27:21The torture acquisition.
27:23Rickabani.
27:23Ali's already out, man.
27:24He's already out.
27:25This match is going to be over soon.
27:26And double stomp.
27:28Oh, my.
27:29Oh.
27:30Yeah.
27:31Christian Johnson.
27:33Three.
27:36Here are your winners.
27:37Blake Christian and Lee Johnson.
27:41And that was a statement victory for the team of Christian and Johnson.
27:47Earlier tonight, we saw the Outrunners victorious.
27:51We know that the Dark Order is in the hunt.
27:53The Premier Athletes.
27:55The Pratt House.
27:59I think we've got to start thinking about Christian and Johnson as a team that could win the tag team titles.
28:04You know what that means.
28:05You know what that means.
28:06No.
28:06No.
28:07This time.
28:11When you think about Philadelphia and professional wrestling, there's only one place that should come to mind.
28:17And it's on Swanson and Rittner to 2300.
28:19See, here's the deal.
28:21It's rough.
28:21It's gritty.
28:22It's true.
28:23When you wrestle here, you show the world your heart and your guts.
28:27When AEW and Ring of Honor step into this iconic building, we will bring true pro wrestling back to the extreme.
28:34AEW and Ring of Honor invade the historic 2300 arena in Philadelphia.
28:38Tickets on sale now at AEWTIX.com.
28:43Athena, the old face.
28:47And the wind.
28:50I am the fallen goddess, the minion overlord, the American Joshi.
28:53I am the symbol of fear.
28:55Because soon, I will be the forever AEW Women's World Champion.
29:00Very well.
29:02Well, if you are ready, I will be sweaty.
29:06But Tony, no one is left to save you when I execute boss.
29:12Why don't you sign that contract and come to this ring and fight me right bloody now, darling?
29:21Hold on, hussy.
29:22No, no, no, no.
29:23We're not playing that game because it's time for a new star to be born as Athena Elite Wrestling takes center stage.
29:36The target on the forever goddess is back growing ever larger as she has a global worst rematch against Alex Windsor on Saturday.
29:49This match is set for one fall with a 20-minute time limit.
29:55Introducing first to be accompanied by Sean Dean and Carly Bravo.
29:59Let's get up, Washington, D.C.
30:02She is representing Shane Taylor Promotions and the infantry.
30:08Trish Huttura.
30:10Shane Taylor Promotions got some bad people, Caprice.
30:17Tell you what, man.
30:18To me, this is the wild card of Shane Taylor Promotions right here.
30:23Trish Adore, military trained.
30:27New Japan trained.
30:29Her opponent, Aaliyah James.
30:32You talk about wild cards, though.
30:34Aaliyah James, who we've seen once before in Ring of Honor.
30:39Has a very impressive pedigree.
30:42Yep.
30:42From the United Kingdom.
30:45And the Code of Honor right here, too.
30:46Trained at the same school, the London School of Lucha Libre.
30:50That's who produced Will Ospreay, former ROH World Television Champion, among other accolades, of course.
30:56Aaliyah James, who's seen a nice collar on both sides.
31:00And it is Adora.
31:02Almost a clean break.
31:04Throwing some heart there, Aaliyah James.
31:06Adora showing that strength and what she had over Aaliyah James and just showing,
31:10hey, I'm here, you're in my house, but Aaliyah James just that fast pushes back.
31:14I like that confidence that Aaliyah James is showing.
31:16I always love the confidence in Trish Adora.
31:20Nice waist lock here.
31:21It's Adora trying to sink the hips and fans.
31:24I don't know.
31:26Following along with the great StarCast events, there's some awesome Jazzwares action figures announced.
31:32And a shocker, one that got under my radar, Capri, surprised me.
31:35Brand new Briscoe's figures.
31:37Mark 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.
31:48And if you can get all four of them and recreate three of the greatest tag team matches of all time,
31:54that's jazzwaresvault.com, for four brand new ROH figures.
31:59That trilogy will go down in history.
32:01It's one of the greatest trilogies in the world.
32:04It's an honor to be a part of that.
32:06Absolutely.
32:08Look at that.
32:08No one home.
32:10And it is Aaliyah.
32:12Up the ladder with the high knees gets the bulldog.
32:15No.
32:15I thought that bulldog was going to be successful until I saw the hands around the waist.
32:19Aaliyah James from Trisha Door.
32:21Aaliyah trying that hands.
32:23Trisha Door has that strength advantage and is using it.
32:27Yeah.
32:28Well, that's the most dangerous part of Trisha Door is her mind, Capri.
32:33She is physically there.
32:36She is mentally there.
32:38But her willingness to learn, like you said, going to the New Japan Academy,
32:44even though she was an accomplished wrestler already.
32:47As you see this, wow, this almost short arm scissor here.
32:51Yeah, variation short arm scissor lock there.
32:53Keeping control of it, keeping it isolated is what she's doing.
32:56But you're so right, Riccoboni.
32:57And to say that that her mind is her strength,
33:01think about she's still one of the strongest women on the roster.
33:03That's saying a lot.
33:04Dropping down here.
33:05And the army grappling that she has in her arsenal.
33:12And the amateur background and the submission prowess.
33:16She has so much she adds to her arsenal.
33:18And with a move like that Lyric Tubman,
33:20it only takes one hit to become a champion here.
33:24Or to catapulse yourself in the rankings to get another title shot.
33:27Trisha Door has been a favorite of mine for a long time.
33:31Absolutely stomping on the hand.
33:33Aaliyah James in trouble.
33:34And even just knowing to hit the ribs to create that involuntary movement
33:38to get that arm back where Adora wants it.
33:41Yeah, keeps herself in two-less, man, constantly.
33:44Like you said, being training right now.
33:45And the two-less is Shane Taylor.
33:47She's standing on that shoulder area, man.
33:49And leg hooked, too.
33:54And we even saw Adora taking some notes during Serena Deeb's pure match.
33:58Yeah, studying her, look, could-be opponent.
34:02And also learning she has respect for everybody, man.
34:05But she also feels she can beat everybody.
34:07Yeah, I think maybe a little less respect for Layla Gray, though,
34:16she brought all the way to the back with.
34:18Sometimes you can have respect for somebody,
34:20but you want them to respect you as well.
34:23And you want them to put some respect on your name.
34:25And that's exactly what she wanted Layla Gray to do.
34:28Watch this flip right here over the top.
34:30Oh, and this flex the bell!
34:33Goodness!
34:34My goodness.
34:35It's going to tear Layla in half.
34:37Wow!
34:41And now just rowing the arms of Aliyah James.
34:45Yeah, but it ain't gently down any strings, Rickabani.
34:48Two!
34:49No!
34:54What?
34:55James might have torn a hip.
34:58Lower back muscle.
34:59Hey, she got smashed in half there.
35:03Still reeling, still holding all of those, man.
35:05And even the submission moves that Trisha Dora has tried.
35:08Wearing down on the shoulders, wearing down on the arms.
35:10Now Aliyah's dead weight in Trisha Dora.
35:13Trying to keep Trisha from using that muscle to get,
35:15trying to keep that leverage advantage.
35:17She's lost it, but she tried it
35:18and probably bought herself some time with Aliyah James.
35:22Now off the ropes.
35:23Aliyah James looking around and heads to this again.
35:24This time gets it!
35:25Yep, sends Adora into the corner.
35:27James charging in with the flying knee.
35:30Got it that time.
35:33Yes, indeed.
35:34Like hooks!
35:35Two!
35:36James with a two and a half there.
35:38Everything that Aliyah tried earlier,
35:40now she's able to get.
35:42She sees it.
35:43She's wearing down Trisha Dora.
35:44You can't ignore any of that stuff.
35:47You're unsuccessful in something,
35:48and then you become successful.
35:49Nobody can tell you you didn't get it.
35:51You earned it.
35:54Wow!
35:57Adora puts the match back on her terms here.
36:03Uh-oh.
36:03We know what happens here, Caprice.
36:05The waist lock.
36:05And the power of Trish Adora.
36:11That wrist is locked.
36:12Aliyah's in trouble here.
36:13She's going for that low German there.
36:16Aliyah fighting when everything she's got shows.
36:18Aliyah almost did her homework.
36:19See this here?
36:20Trish not letting go, man.
36:21So resilient.
36:22Loading it up.
36:26The big right.
36:28Across the jaw.
36:32German with the bridge.
36:33Two, three.
36:38The winner of this match, Trish Adora.
36:43I love that both women came in with game plans here, Caprice.
36:47Looked for moves, didn't get them, got them later in the match.
36:50But it was that German suplex.
36:52Y'all ain't got nothing for him.
36:54Nothing will happen.
36:55Y'all can't stop it.
36:55Put Trish Adora's in the game.
36:57Bad news.
36:57I already know what happened.
36:59Watch out, Valerian Tommy.
37:00Yeah.
37:01I love all the ROH, Jasper's, vault figures,
37:03but it's questionable, this decision to include this man.
37:08Now, how stupid do you have to be to do the same thing again?
37:14This is the third time after I specifically said
37:18that in the state of Washington,
37:21you are not allowed to hit anyone in the ringside area
37:25in the groin, okay?
37:27I've already talked to the commission.
37:29This match is as good as thrown out.
37:32That was a...
37:33It's okay.
37:34And Dustin, Dustin, we get it.
37:35You love to relive your freak show glory days
37:38by kicking a grown man in between the legs.
37:41It's why you and the Von Erich boys sit around
37:43and trade your little war stories about your daddies
37:45because you're living in the past
37:47and not focused on a future.
37:49A future that involves the premier athletes
37:51ticking your ass and taking your titles.
37:53Hey, you forgot to mention Sammy Guevara.
37:56Right.
37:56Who should be worrying about that title around his waist
37:59instead of making those stupid, cringy,
38:02disgusting TikToks with his wife.
38:04Really embarrassing.
38:04But besides all of that,
38:06if you take away the cheating,
38:08the sneaking,
38:08and all that other bull crap
38:10you pull every single week,
38:12if you take all of that away,
38:14you can't beat us.
38:16Nobody can beat us.
38:20You know why, boys?
38:21Why is that?
38:22Because athletes rule.
38:24This Saturday,
38:28the Fallen Goddess Athena
38:29defends the ROH Women's World Championship
38:31against the newly All-Elite Alex Windsor.
38:35But let's take a look back
38:36at Super Card of Honor
38:37where Lee Moriarty defended
38:39his Ring of Honor Pure Championship
38:40against the Hall of Famer Blue Panther.
38:44The Lucha Libre legend
38:46went hold for hold with Tiger Style
38:47in this Battle of the Cats
38:48as both men ended up showing great agility.
38:52But ultimately,
38:55it was Moriarty's knowledge
38:56of the peer rules
38:57and his Rolodex of submissions,
38:59including the Border City stretch,
39:01that retained the title
39:03and forced the legendary Blue Panther to tap.
39:06The next afternoon in Globe Life Field,
39:08STP took on the Sons of Texas
39:09at All-In Texas.
39:11Moriarty had the match
39:12in the favor of STP
39:14before Dustin Rhodes
39:15turned the tide for his team,
39:17leading to five huge claws,
39:19including one from Hall of Famer
39:20Kevin Von Erich.
39:22Giving the win
39:23for the Sons of Texas
39:24in the Lone Star State.
39:26What a moment that was
39:28for the Ring of Honor.
39:29World Tag Team,
39:30World Six-Man Champions.
39:33Unhappy with the outcome at All-In,
39:35Lee Moriarty has laid out the challenge.
39:36The Natural is accepted
39:37and Tony Cobb's made it official.
39:39The TNT Champion Dustin Rhodes
39:41defends his title
39:42against ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty.
39:44And speaking of champions,
39:46we heard from our ROH World
39:48Television Champion last night
39:49ahead of tonight's huge
39:50proven ground pout
39:52with Gringo Loco.
39:54We took a big risk.
39:57And what's the point of taking risks
39:59when there's no reward waiting for you
40:00in the end?
40:01Now's the time.
40:03The time that we show them, right?
40:05It certainly is.
40:07Last week,
40:08we verbally explained ourselves
40:10as to why we did
40:11what we did to Christian Cage.
40:13But I think it's time
40:14we back up those words
40:16physically.
40:19Starting this Saturday,
40:20we will begin our quest
40:21as to proving why
40:23we are soon to be
40:24one of the most dangerous factions
40:25in AEW.
40:27To show what we are able to do
40:29when we are not being held down
40:30by a patriarch.
40:32To show what we are capable of
40:34when we are un-caged.
40:39Nick Wayne
40:40seemingly living
40:42many different lives
40:44with many different faces.
40:47Heavy is the head
40:48that wears the crown
40:49heading into the proving ground.
40:51This is a proving ground match.
40:53Several involved
40:54in a 10-minute time limit.
40:56Introducing first,
40:58Gringo Loco.
41:01And a huge fan favorite
41:03in Chicago.
41:04Caprice,

41:07ignited ROH crowds.

41:11a shot at the Ring of Honor
41:12World Television Championship.
41:14Always great to see

41:40in Ring of Honor
41:41has had the success
41:42this man has had
41:43at quite this age.
41:44That is both

43:37the same things
43:38that somebody
43:38like a luchador
