No match here, which is a bit of a disappointing use of the ROH World Championship.

The angle here with Gravity and Bandido’s family was old-school wrestling, and it was done well.

Great opener here. This match easily would have main-evented practically any episode of AEW Dynamite. There was a lot of buzz around the match between the former world champions, as they have largely been kept apart until their feud over the past few weeks. They delivered, and both guys went all out. The Piledriver on the chair and the Angel’s Wings were nasty. Page winning was the right call, as he is on track to challenge for the world title again sooner rather than later.
