The Family is here to make the save and he starts chucking Stacks and Luca around while Rizzo tries to free Tony! Oba notices and comes into the ring before she can get her pal free and he stalks after her!

D’Angelo begs off as Femi pursues her, out to the apron, she grabs the crowbar but Oba takes it from her! Finally the Don is free… SUICIDE SPEAR THROUGH A DAMN LADDER! Back inside, off the ropes and Femi blasts him with a lariat! Pop-up release powerbomb… TONY KICKS OUT! The Family is back, Luca and Stacks with Shatter Machine, D’Angelo capitalizes…

Lexis King is interviewed backstage about his search for a cornerman for his Heritage Cup match.

He admits he’s been struggling to find someone to help and he admits the rejection hurts when a man’s voice rings out offering to be his cornerman.

It’s William Regal! He says the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to second generation wrestlers but he appreciates that Lexis is trying to be his own man. King thanks him and Regal somewhat ominously says that there’ll be a time to thank him later.

Bound For Glory

X-Division Championship: “Speedball” Mike Bailey defeated Hijo del Vikingo to retain the title. Speedball had the first serious near fall with a fisherman falcon arrow followed by a shooting star press. Later, Vikingo rallied for a flying destroyer on the apron. When Vikingo climbed the corner for a finishing dive, Bailey closed the distance to tussle for position on the turnbuckles. Bailey got the upper hand to execute a flipping fisherman slam to win.

Knockouts Tag Team Championship: Jody Threat & Dani Luna defeated Rosemary & Wendy Choo to retain the titles. Choo came over from NXT through the Undead Realm. Rosemary could have won with a spear to Luna, but the Demon Assassin chose to break her own pin to inflict more pain. The challengers had control, then Rosemary accidentally collided with Choo. Threat steamrolled them for double knees and a double German suplex. Tag to Luna for the teamwork Pressure Drop powerbomb to win. Afterward, Rosemary speared Choo.

Josh Alexander defeated Steve Maclin. This was fair in terms on one-on-one. Alexander’s goons were not in the venue, and Eric Young promised to watch Maclin’s back just in case. However, it was hardly a fair fight. When Alexander inadvertently swung Maclin’s legs into knocking down the referee, he took advantage to kick Mr. Mayhem in the groin. Alexander then zip tied Maclin’s hands behind his back. Maclin still managed to fight back without the use of his hands. As Alexander gloated in the corner, Maclin knocked him down into the Tree of Woe and struck with a spear. Maclin followed for a suicide dive on the outside and running knee strikes on the inside. The referee tried to cut Maclin free, but he refused to slow down. Maclin didn’t want to spoil his hot momentum. Alexander corralled Maclin for a tombstone piledriver. Kick out by Maclin. German suplex by Alexander. Maclin popped to his feet for a headbutt. Alexander was on the mat and wisely snatched Maclin’s leg for an ankle lock. Maclin couldn’t defend against the takedown, and he passed out from the pain on the submission.

TNA Digital Media Championship & International Wrestling Championship: PCO defeated Matt Cardona in Monster’s Ball to retain both titles. Hardcore chaos with chairs, doors, trashcans, and tacks. PCO blocked Cardona’s barbed wire baseball bat to goozle him for a chokeslam onto tacks. PCO followed up for a moonsault to win.

Mike Santana defeated Moose. Johnny Dango Curtis was ringside to support Moose. A powerbomb on the apron did major damage to Santana. He barely beat the ten-count back into the ring. The System wanted to hurt Santana, so Dango entered the ring with a steel chain. Santana dodged the loaded punch, Dango stopped short of clobbering Moose, then Santana cleaned Dango’s clock with a discus lariat. Moose exploded for a spear in a bang-bang sequence. Santana kicked out on the cover. They tussled a little bit. Moose hit a big boot. When Moose ran the ropes, Santana connected on the discus lariat out of desperation to win.

Knockouts Championship: Masha Slamovich defeated Jordynne Grace to win the title. This hoss fight delivered. Slamovich kicked out of the Juggernaut Driver finisher. She fired up on the turnbuckles for an avalanche Snow Plow. The challenger didn’t waste time going right into a piledriver to become champion. Awesome match.

TNA World Championship: Nic Nemeth defeated Joe Hendry to retain the title. Frankie Kazarian was the special guest referee, and he had the Call Your Shot prize at his disposal. Kaz called it clean until both men were down. He decided to cash-in. John Layfield came through the crowd to blast Kaz with a Clothesline From Hell before the cash-in could be honored. JBL whispered to Hendry. It seemed like he just wanted to keep it a clean fight. Swerve! JBL clotheslined Hendry to hell. Nemeth didn’t see any of this. Hendry had a dramatic kick out on the Danger Zone finisher when the backup referee arrived. Hendry teased his Standing Ovation finisher, but Nemeth escaped to connect on a superkick and hit another Danger Zone to win.

TNA World Tag Team Championship: The Hardys defeated The System (Brian Myers & Eddie Edwards) and ABC (Ace Austin & Chris Bey) in Full Metal Mayhem to win the titles. Crazy match. The System entered as champions. Bodies fell by the wayside for the finish. Bey reached the titles and hung on the gimmick. Edwards swung him into a flying spear from Myers. Matt got revenge on Edwards for a Twist of Fate with a chair around his neck. Jeff hit two Twists of Fates on a Swanton off a tall ladder to Myers through a table. As Ace was climbing, Alisha Edwards ran in to shove the ladder over. Matt got revenge again for a Twist of Fate to Alisha. Edwards clobbered Matt with a kendo stick and climbed the ladder. The Hardys threw chairs at him then executed a double powerbomb over the ropes through tables. The coast was clear for the Hardys to reach the titles. The show closed in celebratory mood for the success of the Hardys.

Backstage Report On Chris Jericho’s ROH Title Win On AEW Dynamite

Chris Jericho captured the Ring of Honor World Championship for the second time during Wednesday night’s “AEW Dynamite,” defeating Mark Briscoe in a ladder match with some help from The Learning Tree. Discussing the match on “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Dave Meltzer offered a possible explanation for Jericho’s title victory.

“I think that if they are working on an ROH television deal, then it probably is beneficial for them to be champion, to try and close that deal,” Meltzer said.

The writer then confirmed that Tony Khan is in the process of trying to secure a TV deal for the brand. AEW recently re-upped with Warner Bros Discovery, ensuring “Dynamite” and “AEW Collision” remain on TNT/TBS as well as heading to streaming platform Max. However, ROH was not included in that agreement.

Meltzer praised the Jericho-Briscoe match from last night, marveling at Briscoe’s mobility after a career full of death-defying stunts. Both Meltzer and co-host Bryan Alvarez stated that it was possible that Khan would run another rematch between Jericho and Briscoe and ROH Final Battle later this year, which would allow Briscoe to compete in the Continental Classic and take some losses before winning the title back from Jericho.

This is Jericho’s second time as champion, with his last reign also coinciding with rumors that Khan was seeking a media rights deal for ROH. However, no outside agreement materialized, and ROH has since been relegated to its own online streaming platform and appearances on AEW programming.

Following the win against Briscoe, Jericho’s next challenger stepped forward — Tomohiro Ishii of New Japan Pro-Wrestling. Jericho successfully defended the ROH World Championship against Ishii during his initial reign in November 2022. Though Ishii has previously held the ROH Television Championship, he has not yet held the brand’s world title.
