It\u2019s been a while since this 73-year-old building has seen any wrestling action. WWE (then WWF) held a house in in December of 1990.<\/p>\n<p>Four matches are advertised along with a talking segment:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEW<\/a> Road To San Antonio premieres RIGHT NOW with a preview of the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEW<\/a> action this week!<\/p>\n<p>\u25b6\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WIxCFjZQl3\">https:\/\/t.co\/WIxCFjZQl3<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zgD9sS8LBL\">pic.twitter.com\/zgD9sS8LBL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\/status\/1503853548919930881?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 15, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>TNT Championship: Scorpio Sky (champ) vs. Wardlow<\/h4>\n<p>After defeating Sammy Guevara for the TNT Championship last week, Men of the Year\u2019s Scorpio Sky must get right to work tonight as he defends the title against Wardlow. Wardlow earned the right to challenge for the title via winning the Face of the Revolution ladder match at Revolution. Scorpio is in his first reign and has been undefeated for over a year. This past Friday on Rampage, his manager Dan Lambert emphasized he\u2019ll be bringing two titles. It won\u2019t be two belts, but his undefeated streak and TNT title.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not that simple for Wardlow, who cut a heartfelt promo documenting his childhood in which he was raised by a single mother who did all she could to raise he and his two sisters. He wanted to be a pro wrestler and coming under the tutelage of MJF was his best path. He said he was now free and declared AEW \u201cWardlow\u2019s World.\u201d Wardlow betrayed MJF at Revolution when he gave CM Punk the Dynamite Diamond Ring to utilize in their Dog Collar match.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/realwardlow\/status\/1503054464466362370?s=21<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/scorpiosky\/status\/1503147273248653313?s=21<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: You have to think MJF is going to get involved and cost Wardlow, setting up their feud while Scorpio Sky moves on. I was wrong in my preview about Sammy retaining. I\u2019m not surprised in the least they made the switch. I don\u2019t think any of us were attached Sammy as champion.<\/em><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-730355775\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Trios Match: AEW World Champion \u201cHangman\u201d Adam Page &amp; AEW Tag Team Champions Jurassic Express vs. Adam Cole &amp; ReDRagon (Bobby Fish &amp; Kyle O\u2019Reilly)<\/h4>\n<p>On the heels of retaining the AEW World Championship over Adam Cole and Dante Martin last week, \u201cHangman\u201d Adam Page gets right back to the salt mines in a Trios match. He\u2019ll team with the current AEW Tag Team Champions Jurassic Express to take on ReDRagon and Cole (the three of them members of the Undisputed Era in NXT from 2017-20). The match was set up when Cole came out after Page\u2019s defense over Martin, in which he said Hangman\u2019s days as champion are numbered.<\/p>\n<p>There are issues with how these teams came about. Several members of the Dark Order petitioned Hangman to be his partners in a backstage segment; however, Hangman had to awkwardly let them know he had already chosen Jurassic Express. John Silver said it was ok because he had a beard trimming appointment. Hangman left, but you could tell things were uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Cole was backstage with the Young Bucks (Matt &amp; Nick Jackson) and ReDRagon. The teams were arguing about what took place at Revolution. Jurassic Express retained the tag team championship over both teams in a triple threat match; however, early on it seemed as if the Bucks and ReDRagon were working together. To make a long story short, the Bucks said they were out if it was a match against Hangman, but it didn\u2019t matter because Cole wasn\u2019t going to pick them.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/aewontv\/status\/1501732925695401986?s=21<\/p>\n<p>Let us not forget Hangman shook Cole\u2019s hand after Revolution:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/aewontv\/status\/1501732925695401986?s=21<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: There\u2019s a LOT going on here. You wonder what\u2019s going on with the Dark Order, with whom Hangman has been associated for the better part of the last two years. I\u2019m curious why he wouldn\u2019t choose two members from that group, but picking Jurassic Express, with whom Cole and ReDRagon have had issues with lately makes sense. As far as ReDRagon and the Bucks, I don\u2019t think I\u2019m breaking any news when I saw their bickering is childish. I\u2019m not saying I don\u2019t care about what\u2019s going to happen, but it\u2019s annoying to watch and I feel like it brings down Cole.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Jon Moxley &amp; Bryan Danielson vs. Chuck Taylor &amp; Wheeler Yuta<\/h4>\n<p>Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson continue to team tonight when they take on the Best Friends Chuck Taylor and Wheeler Yuta. Moxley defeated Danielson at Revolution in a match where they agreed before they team together, they must bleed together. They continued to go at it after the match until William Regal made his AEW debut and got both men on the same page.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1066033855\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Last week, after Danielson &amp; Moxley defeated the Workhorsemen, Tony Schiavone interviewed Regal. Regal acknowledge it had been a while since they were on TV together, and Schiavone was one of the first people to help him when he got to the United States. Talking about Danielson, Regal said he was everything he should have been because he didn\u2019t have the problems he had. Regal has long had issues with substance abuse. Talking about Moxley, he said what they initially put each other through would make the devil die. He said they were the perfect pairing, and their opponents better step up or get stepped on.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, he said he wasn\u2019t long for the world. It was reported here at the Torch that Regal has been dealing with serious health issues, and it will come out on a Talk is Jericho podcast soon to be released. Regal was recently released by WWE after many years of being the on-screen general manager of NXT.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: Regal\u2019s promo went a little long and may have gotten a little uncomfortable, but I can forgive it because he felt like a real person talking. It\u2019s hard not to think that the health issues we will hear about are tied to his issues with alcohol and substance abuse through the years, although in fairness let\u2019s let him tell us. As far as the paring with Moxley and Danielson I love it, and I still think at some point they will be working with younger wrestlers.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Steel Cage AEW Women\u2019s Championship Match: Dr. Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa<\/h4>\n<p>Thunder Rosa earned the right to face Dr. Britt Baker for the AEW Women\u2019s Championship tonight by defeating \u201cLegit\u201d Leyla Hirsch last week. The match will take place inside a steel cage, with the thought being no one gets in or out (have y\u2019all watched WWE). Baker defeated Rosa at Revolution to retain the title thanks to outside interference from Jamie Hayter and Rebel. This past Friday on Rampage, Jamie defeated Rosa\u2019s friend Mercedes Martinez thanks to outside interefence from Baker and Rebel. Rosa came to bail out her friend during a post-match attack.<\/p>\n<p>Rosa defeated Baker in a Lights Out match at last year\u2019s St. Patrick\u2019s Day Slam event, which was two months before Baker defeated Hikaru Shida to win the AEW Women\u2019s Championship. Not only has Rosa challenged Baker for the title recently, but she competed in the tournament for the TBS Championship. Baker has a post from last year\u2019s match pinned to the top of her Twitter page:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/realbrittbaker\/status\/1372377716004167681?s=21<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: Having to face Hirsch felt a little weird for Rosa. I know this sounds WWE-like, but I\u2019d of preferred her challenging Baker and citing the outside interference as the reason for wanting the steel cage match. I wouldn\u2019t have cited it as the reason she lost, which would have made her sound like a crybaby, but she had every right to want another match after what happened at Revolution. You have to think she beats Baker tonight, right? I think it\u2019s time for a switch.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Jericho Appreciation Society Commencement<\/h4>\n<p>After Chris Jericho &amp; Eddie Kingston shook hands last week, Jericho betrayed him and his former Inner Circle members Santana &amp; Ortiz. Jake Hager joined the fray, and a new faction was born featuring Hager, 2point0 (Matt Lee &amp; Jeff Parker), Daniel Garcia and Jericho who named it the Jericho Appreciation Society.<\/p>\n<p>The Inner Circle featured Jericho, Hager, Santana &amp; Ortiz, and Sammy Guevara from the first episode of Dynamite around two and a half years ago. MJF joined for a period, until he betrayed Jericho and formed the Pinnacle. Tonight, the Jericho Appreciation Commencement takes place.<\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: For me it was time to see the Inner Circle go. I want to see what Santana &amp; Ortiz do on their own. Sammy and Jericho could have a series of matches. As far as the Jericho Appreciation Society, it\u2019s good for 2point0 and Garcia to be aligned with Jericho. I would have preferred Garcia aligned with Danielson &amp; Moxley, but this is probably better.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Follow Frank on Twitter @FrankPeteani.
