Dynamite


-Commentators:  Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone, & Excalibur.

-"The Wizard" Chris Jericho(w/ Jericho Appreciation Society) d. Angel Ortiz(w/ "The Mad King" Eddie Kingston) in a hair vs. hair match; S. William Regal did commentary.  Chaos broke out at ringside which brought out Mike Santana & ROH Pure Champion "The Decoder" Wheeler Yuta to somewhat even the odds.  Ortiz nearly won after Kingston hit Jericho with the spinning backfist behind the referee's back but Jericho kicked out at the last split-second.  Fuego Del Sol arrived at ringside, but he took out Ortiz with a cheapshot that allowed Jericho to score the pin (11:49); "Fuego" unmasked to reveal "The Spanish God" Sammy Guevara, returning to the side of his mentor Jericho.  Despite the presence of a barber at ringside, Ortiz insisted on cutting his own hair.

-"Mr. Mayhem" Michael Wardlow d. The Plaintiffs(Rahim De La Suede, Mike Outlaw, "Second To None" Kenny Alfonso, "The Quadfatha" Camaro Jackson, "Buns Of Steel" Justin Fowler, "The Soup" Campbell Myers, "Dat Boi" S.K. Bishop, "The Connoisseur" Niles Plonk, "Merc" Graham Bell, Marcus Muncherson(fka Eli Rossi), A.T.M., Moses "The Deliverer" Powell, Dan "The Dad" Adams, "The Smokin' Ace" Luke Langley, Anaya Howlett, "The Huntsman" Jay Marston, Darren Moats, Wrex Amadeus, "Nothin' Neater" Derek Teter, & J.D. Griffey)(w/ "Smart" Mark Sterling) in an elimination handicap match after a whole lot of powerbombs and pinning stacks of wrestlers (4:08).  After the match, Sterling, with the backing of Dan Lambert & TNT Champion "The Face Of The Revolution" Scorpio Sky, tried to convince ringside UFC fighters Matt Hughes & Tyron Woodley to attack Wardlow, but Wardlow talked them into taking his side and Sterling got powerbombed as well.

-IWGP U.S. Champion Will Ospreay d. ROH Tag Team Champion Dax Harwood(non-title) after the Hidden Blade(running elbowsmash to the back of the head) (13:43).  After the match, other members of The United Empire(IWGP Tag Team Champions Jeff Cobb & "The Great O-Khan" Tomoyuki Oka and Aussie Open("The Aussie Arrow" Kyle Fletcher & "Dunkzilla" Mark Davis) ran in to attack Dax...that brought out Cash Wheeler and Roppongi Vice(Trent Beretta & "Azucar" Rocky Romero) to help before "Freshly Squeezed" Orange Cassidy returned from injury for the big confrontation with Ospreay.

-Jon Moxley & Hiroshi Tanahashi had a face-to-face confrontation, but they were interrupted by Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara(w/ Taynara Conti)...this led to a beatdown from not only the Jericho Appreciation Society, but Suzuki-Gun members "The Murderhawk Monster" Lance Archer & El Desperado as well.  Eddie Kingston, Wheeler Yuta, and Proud & Powerful finally hit the ring to run off the bad guys.

-All-Atlantic Title Tournament:  "The Redeemer" Miroslav Barnyashev d. "All Ego" Ethan Page(w/ Dan Lambert) with the Game Over(camel clutch) (9:33).

-Toni Storm d. Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D.(w/ Jamie Hayter & Rebel) after the Storm Zero(piledriver) (7:33); Women's Champion "La Mera Mera" Thunder Rosa chased Hayter away from ringside during the bout.

-"Hangman" Adam Page noted that he had challenged IWGP Heavyweight Champion "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada for Forbidden Door, but the challenge still stood despite Okada losing the title.  Adam Cole interrupted Page, but it was a setup for the new IWGP Heavyweight Champion "Switchblade" Jay White to attack him from behind.  White said that Page wouldn't be getting a title shot...but Cole wouldn't either.

-The Young Bucks(Matt & Nick Jackson) d. The Jurassic Express("Jungle Boy" Jack Perry & Luchasaurus)(w/ Christian Cage) in a ladder match to win the Tag Team Titles when they retrieved the belts from above the ring (14:54).  Afterwards, Christian turned on Jungle Boy and dropped him with the Unprettier before leaving him laying with a solo Conchairto.

-After the show went off the air, Jungle Boy was taken out of the ring area on a stretcher with promoter Tony Khan coming out to check on him.


Rampage Taping


-Commentators:  Excalibur, "The Human Suplex Machine" Taz, & "The Wizard" Chris Jericho.

-Jon Moxley d. "Inhuman" Dante Martin with a modified sleeperhold (12:08); S. William Regal did commentary.

-"Platinum" Max Caster & The Gunn Club(Austin & Colten Gunn)(w/ Billy Gunn & "The Five-Tool Player" Anthony Bowens) d. Bear Country(Bear Bronson & Bear Boulder) & Leon Ruffin when Caster pinned Ruffin after the Mic Drop(top-rope elbowdrop) (1:16).

-Jade Cargill(w/ "The Hottest Flame" Kiera Hogan) d. Willow Nightingale with the Jaded(double-chickenwing sitout faceplant) to retain the TBS Title (8:08).  "The Fallen Goddess" Athena Palmer took out Kiera with the O-Face(flying Stone Cold Stunner off the top rope) but was dropped with a kick from Jade...that brought out Kris Statlander to confront Jade, who was just leaving.

-Darby Allin d. "The Infamous" Bobby Fish(w/ Kyle O'Reilly) via Last Supper(crossed-leg jackknife cradle).  Fish threatened to do some post-match damage with a chair provided by O'Reilly, but Sting made a surprise appearance to fend off O'Reilly while Darby destroyed Fish's leg with a chair, ending with a Coffin Drop(blind senton) off the second rope with Fish's leg wrapped in the chair.


-The show wrapped up with a curtain call of sorts as Tony Khan(who had come out to hype the crowd several times in the night) brought out Hook and Donovan Danhausen(who were in a backstage segment during Rampage).  The main highlight was Sting speaking to the fans and thanking them for their support.
