Where?
The Altria Theater in Richmond, Virginia.
What happened?
- Lince Dorado def. Elias Samson
- Peyton Royce def. Liv Morgan
- Authors of Pain def. TM61
- Cedric Alexander def. Austin Aries
- Tye Dillinger def. Wesley Blake
- Asuka def. Aliyah to retain the Women’s championship
- Samoa Joe & Bobby Roode def. Shinsuke Nakamura & No Way Jose
What caught our eye?
The Drifter is still a heat magnet, as his anti-Richmond song got the crowd going.
Here’s hoping going forward we get as many Twitter videos of Peyton’s entrance as we do of the current champ’s...

For the second straight night, Ced was in the consensus MOTN. A-Double was pinned when he got Sunset Flipped while arguing with the referee about a steel chair.

Dillinger vs. Blake was set-up via a promo from the back. The Perfect 10’s pop was said to rival the babyfaces in the last match:

If Alexander/Aries was the highest quality bout, the main event was the consensus “most fun”:

The heels won after Roode low blowed Jose and Joe slapped on the Coquina Clutch, but Nak prevented a post-match beatdown and put them down with Kinshasas to the crowd’s delight.
What's next?
“Baltimore” (really, more than a half an hour North in Bel Air, Maryland... but whatevs) - see you there!
