OH HELLO! Well that was QUITE the phenomenal Dynamite, wasn’t it?! I’ve only just caught up and it certainly feels like the bar has been set high for tonight. We don’t have something the level of Ospreay vs Takeshita, but we do have Takeshita teaming up with new signee Josh Alexander to take on the team of Rocky Romero and Tomohiro Ishii, which will do very nicely thank you very much!

I’m also expecting Nick Wayne to pick up some singles gold tonight so that he goes into the Best of the Super Juniors tournament with added gravitas for the NJPW faithful. Wayne challenges Komander for the ROH TV title tonight in what should be a fun sprint.

Elsewhere, Adam Cole begins his reign as TNT champion with an Open Challenge, and the Mone Wrath Train are back together again as Mercedes Mone and Harley Cameron take on Julia Hart and Kris Statlander.

Spring Break Thru rolls on, so let’s head down to ringside…and see if Tony Khan delivers Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting on a Thursday.

Location: Boston, MA

Venue: MGM Music Hall at Fenway

Commentators: Nigel McGuinness & Tony Schiavone

*We are LIVE and yes indeed we have Elton John credits on a Thursday! Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness are on the stage speaking to the crowd as well as all of us at home, recapping the events of Dynamite last night. OH Marina Shafir comes out of nowhere to atack stage hands and interrupt. She enters the ring and gets up in the grill of Arkady Aura, and now here comes Jon Moxley. Claudio Castagnoli attacks a camera man and chokeslams a guy over the barricade. DEATH RIDERS AIN’T HAPPY! Wheeler Yuta kicks furniture around to a chorus of F*CK YOU YUTA.

Moxley has a microphone. To everyone celebrating in the ring last night, enjoy it now, because it’s the last chance they’ll have to celebrate for a long time. Moxley doesn’t like looking at the Young Bucks, and they crossed a line with him, so he will make sure they are never seen or heard from again. From the first day he started in this business, there was one baddest man in pro wrestling, Samoa Joe. Moxley has always treated him with respect, with reverence. Given him his space. It could have stayed that way, but Joe started something that he has to finish. Moxley will not run or hide or roll over and die. He will fight Joe to the death for the World championship, for better or for worse. Samoa Joe, Moxley is challenging you. And Joe knows exactly what he’s dealing with.

With that, the Death Riders exit the ringside area. Shots fired!

Lance Archer (w/ Don Callis) vs Kevin Knight

Archer attacks before the bell, tossing Knight to the ramp. He brings him up to the staging area and bounces his head off the screens. Back down to the ring they go, Archer goes for a chokeslam but Knight flips over and hits a springboard dropkick to send Archer back to the ramp. Moonsault to the outside! Knight heads back up top, dives but is caught in powerbomb position, Knight counters and a tijeras sends Archer to the corner. Archer comes right back out with a running lariat!

Archer takes a hold of the legs of Knight and swings him into the steel steps! Irish whip into the barricade, and Archer with a big boot to the face of Knight. Now Callis stomps away on Knight while the ref has his back turned. Archer chops the chest of Knight, and shrugs off a chop from Knight himself. 10 count punches from Archer in the ring, followed by repeated back elbows. Knight tries to battle back but takes a forearm to the face. Cocky cover gets a 1 count. Small package from Knight, 1, 2, no! Overhead German suplex turns Knight inside out. Archer sits him on the top rope and looks for the Blackout…Knight escapes, and dropkicks his way out of a chokeslam too. Right hands from Knight, misses a springboard and runs into a stomp from Archer. Archer looks for an elevated chokeslam from the second rope now…Knight battles out of it, jumping hurracanrana! UFO Splash, 1, 2, no.

*After Dynamite, the new Trios champions speak backstage. Samoa Joe says they are the Opps, they are men who only need an excuse to commit violence. They are coming for so much more.

*Renee Paquette is with Jamie Hayter and Kris Statlander backstage. They face each other next week for the first time in singles action, with the winner facing Mercedes. Kris says there are others who work harder than Mone. Hayter agrees and they know they’re both good, they can both go. Kris says it’s been a long time coming, so they better go all the way. Jamie says she’ll see her Wednesday, mate!

*Tony Schiavone has a letter from Dax and Cash. “Dear Tony and Nigel, we wish we could take back what we did last week” They think the punishment wasn’t severe enough. Dax says he would never have gone through with the piledriver. He felt justified to scare Tony in the moment. Dax writes that he loves Tony. Dax also writes that Nigel is mentally and physically fragile, and there’s no way he could have beaten FTR up.

*The Don Callis Family is the juggernaut of professional wrestling, apparently. They are in action next, as Josh Alexander and Konosuke Takeshita make their way to the ring.

Konosuke Takeshita & Josh Alexander vs Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii

Nigel calls Ishii ‘Big Tom’, nice Csonka shoutout! Ishii and Takeshita start this one out with some shoulder block standoffs, and they both go down after a hard double shoulder block. They tag out to Rocky and Alexander. Tijeras from Romero, but Takeshita drags him off the apron, allowing Alexander to hit the crossbody through the ropes to send Rocky sprawling. Body slam from Alexander, Takeshita tags in and nails a senton for 1, 2, no.

*Adam Cole makes his way to the ring for his TNT Championship Open Challenge. His challenger….the music of the Death Riders hits, and it’s Claudio Castagnoli!

*Lexy Nair is with Big Bill and Bryan Keith, wondering where they go from here. Bill says he’s disappointed in Chris Jericho, their leader, who walked out on them. Bill is getting angry. But Keith says this is not the time. They talked about this in private. Jericho said last week they are family, and that means something. If they’re family, Keith thinks they should handle it like family, in private. Bill understands that family is important to him, he gets that. But Bill doesn’t think they should live and die by the whims of Jericho. Either way, they need to crack some skulls in the ring. That’s what’s next for them.

Some advice for them, you don’t want to offend the top brass. Take his advice before something bad happens. Knight says he respects Ricochet, he has a hot wife, but there is something Knight can do that Ricochet can’t…and he flicks his hair. Knight goes to take a shot at Ricochet, and Ricochet flinches. Bailey talks some sense into him and he walks away…as does Renee!
