Fantastic match to start the show, sets the tone well for the night to come.<\/p>\n<h3>Frat House promo with Riccaboni: Miss<\/h3>\n<p>Bragging about their drinking skills, while not even bothering to put water in the cups.

This could\u2019ve ended at the pre match beat down and saved it somewhat but it had to drag on.

Not much to it but not much to criticize either.<\/p>\n<h3>Wheeler Yuta vs. Aaron Solo: Hit<\/h3>\n<p>This match was decent, and Solo is a prospect who I have high hopes for in the future in both ROH and AEW even though he\u2019s been around a while already. Wheeler is really being pushed in his ROH appearances, but it\u2019s seemingly fairly directionless as of now. I\u2019d like to see them have him rejoin the Pure title scene or even the world title scene if they\u2019re going to continue to have him be dominant on ROH.<\/p>\n<h3>MxMxTV promo announcing Mansoor\u2019s Proving Ground challenge to ROH Champion Bandido: Miss<\/h3>\n<p>This just fell flat for me. I do like Taya being involved too, but this segment just felt like it was half baked to me.<\/p>\n<h3>Athena vs. Rachel Armstrong: Hit<\/h3>\n<p>We all knew Athena was getting the win here, but it was an enjoyable watch to get there at least. I do question why she had her return match against a debuting talent, but it wasn\u2019t bad at all. The real takeaway here though is Thunder Rosa coming out to save Armstrong from the post match beating Athena was handing out on her. I am definitely hoping this sets up Thunder Rosa vs Athena for the title, as that\u2019s a match I\u2019d personally be excited for. Athena is one of the better workers on ROH, but it\u2019s time she drops the title and moves up to AEW\u2019s main shows full time and allow for fresh talent to rise in the ROH Women\u2019s division going forward.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3256758162\" 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<p>This was the main event, but WAIT! There\u2019s more!<\/p>\n<h3>Video package reveals Dalton Castle is returning to ROH: Hit<\/h3>\n<p>Dalton Castle is back, after nearly a year away after his torn bicep back in August of last year. This was a bit goofy, but I\u2019m a fan honestly. I have to admit, I was asking myself \u201cWhat the hell am I watching?\u201d, but this was really unique and well done for what it was. I was wondering the last few weeks how they would choose to reintroduce Castle upon his return, and while a sci-fi\u00a0 repackage wasn\u2019t exactly on my mind for what they may do with him I am excited for more. This will either be really fun and a highlight of ROH TV going forward, or will be a flop that is retconned in months and unable to get over in any meaningful way. My bet is on the former. Bizarre, but in a really good way.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PWT Talks NXT - PWTorch NXT Post Show w\/Wells &amp; Cattani\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TwNUD2U0W8s?start=19&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1131587627\"><div id=\"pwtor-4092174483\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Leila Grey &amp; Dulce Tormenta vs. Persephone &amp; Thunder Rosa: Hit Fun opener, crown were invested and it showed off Leila Grey well even in a loss.
