After the match, Hologram is attacked by The Beast Mortos, who tries to rip at Hologram's mask, and Komander runs into the ring to make the save.

Adam Cole says he wants a rematch with Garcia for the TNT Championship, but he will have to wait and see if Garcia is still champion first.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley). MVP says The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd) are entertaining and are about making the fans feel good, but The Hurt Syndicates are about violent, savage entertainment and want to make the fans gasp. He says The Outrunners are underdogs and that the fans identify with them because they are also underdogs, then says Shelton and Lashley have only been top dogs and they will make the underdogs suffer and hurt them badly. MVP says that when a dog is suffering, the dog is put down.
Before the next match, "Smart" Mark Sterling states that The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari) should be the team going for the AEW World Tag Team Championships and not The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd). He then gives the Sacramento, California fans a chance to be on their team and state that The Premier Athletes rule, but gets told that they suck.

We hear from Kenny Omega, who gives "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita credit for doing everything he could to get to him, and says that he still remembers giving him all that advice. He says that Takeshita thinks Don Callis can take him to the top of the mountain, but asks what happens if he does not. He wonders if Callis will toss Takeshita aside like he did him, then tells Takeshita that he has his one shot at Revolution to prove that he can take that top spot and be the best on the planet. Omega tells Takeshita that he is facing "the god of professional wrestling" at Revolution.

We hear backstage from Jon Moxley. Moxley says he and Adam Copeland have a lot in common on how they came up in the business and that they are the last of a dying breed, then says the dream of championship gold is what drives Copeland.

He says The Outrunners are underdogs and that the fans identify with them because they are also underdogs, then says Shelton and Lashley have only been top dogs and they will make the underdogs suffer and hurt them badly. MVP says that when a dog is suffering, the dog is put down.
Before the next match, "Smart" Mark Sterling states that The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari) should be the team going for the AEW World Tag Team Championships and not The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd).

We hear from Kenny Omega, who gives "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita credit for doing everything he could to get to him, and says that he still remembers giving him all that advice. He says that Takeshita thinks Don Callis can take him to the top of the mountain, but asks what happens if he does not. He wonders if Callis will toss Takeshita aside like he did him, then tells Takeshita that he has his one shot at Revolution to prove that he can take that top spot and be the best on the planet. Omega tells Takeshita that he is facing "the god of professional wrestling" at Revolution.

He says that he needs Mortos to be focused and ready and the killer that he is, and if he cannot back himself up, he can have Mortos back Roddy up for him.

Taya says a man broke his heart once, then she stabbed his tires, as it was revenge. Purrazzo says it is satisfying to collect what is owed, but sometimes that is not enough, and sometimes it is more than simple reprises; it is about sending a message not just to the intended targets, as they may not be around for long, but to everyone else so that they know who to avoid.

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for October 24, 2024
Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) beat The Infantry ("The Captain" Shawn Dean and "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo).
Reyna Isis beats Viva Van.
We hear from "Legit" Leyla Hirsch, who says that she dislocated her shoulder at Death Before Dishonor and did not know if she would get back up, but she did, and she won the first ever women's deathmatch in ROH. She hopes to regain all the momentum that she had before the injury and become a champion in Ring of Honor.

Lee Johnson and EJ Nduka beat Bret Hankins and Jiah Jewell.
We look back on Mercedes Martinez vs. Athena for the ROH Women's World Championship from Final Battle 2022.
Billie Starkz is in the ring, where she welcomes Athena for her celebration of being the longest-reigning champion in all of Ring of Honor history. Athena arrives with Lexy Nair on a chain, and she is taken aback by the streamers and confetti by the MIT Dance Team, who soon dance for a few seconds before Lexy Nair cuts the music, with Athena unimpressed. (Three of the members are Olumide, Alpha Zo and Chris Nasty, who competed on the most recent AEW Collision.) Athena says she asked for Ja Rule, then tells the minions to get out of the ring, which they do with great urgency. Athena says this was supposed to be her day and her moment of celebration, then says her parents were supposed to be here until her mother put getting major surgery over celebrating the only success that she has had in life before calling her mother "selfish." She also wants to know where the women's division is after she "lifted every single one of those hussies out of mediocrity," and while they are "mediocre" and "still suck," she did the best with what she had and she cannot do the Lord's work. Athena says that without her, there would be no ROH, let alone no women's division, and says that day in and day out, she has never been content and has wanted more, and that she has come here and busted her ass and done her job busting "hussies'" heads. She says she is the best in the world and the greatest of all time, but some people want to call her overrated, but Athena prefers the term "underappreciated." She says she deserves more than this, as she has not been pinned or submitted in almost two years, and asks where her flowers, recognition, tribute and appreciation are at. She then says the fans suck and does not know why she is in "this podunk town," then says the party sucks and blames it all on Billie. She says that Billie is jealous of everything that she has done in her career, and that Billie wishes she was her due to how she looks at her, because Billie could not even do a tenth of what she has done in the past year. As she says this last part, she jabs her finger into Billie's chest, and Billie snatches the microphone from Athena's hand before telling Athena she is done. She shoves Athena, then leaves. Lexy says this is still a good celebration and does not know what has gotten into Billie, then shows Athena the original ROH Women's World Championship, now with a picture of Athena in the center plate that also spins much like a John Cena spinner belt, which Athena loves. Athena hugs Lexy, then Abadon's music hits. Lexy hides under the ring, but Abadon does not show up and Athena thinks this is all a joke. When she pulls Lexy out from underneath the ring, Abadon is on the other end of the chain instead, and they beat Athena up before hitting her with Black Dahlia. Abadon then notices the celebration cake, unhooks themselves from Athena and throws the cake in Athena's face.
In backstage footage from this week's Dynamite, Mark Briscoe is in pain, and cannot speak before turning away from the camera.
"The Machine" Brian Cage retains the ROH World Television Championship against Komander.
Here is the recap for tonight's show!

We hear from "Legit" Leyla Hirsch, who says that she dislocated her shoulder at Death Before Dishonor and did not know if she would get back up, but she did, and she won the first ever women's deathmatch in ROH. She hopes to regain all the momentum that she had before the injury and become a champion in Ring of Honor.
Before the next match, Brandon Cutler shows up and mocks Rocky "Azucar" Romero, then says he learned lucha libre in southern California and that he can run rings around Romero in lucha libre. He then says that Romero cannot do anything to him until he shakes his hand. Romero shakes his hand, then gets the advantage over him.
Rocky "Azucar" Romero (accompanied by Stockton Kings mascot Dunkson) beats Brandon Cutler.
Lee Johnson and EJ Nduka beat Bret Hankins and Jiah Jewell.
We look back on Mercedes Martinez vs. Athena for the ROH Women's World Championship from Final Battle 2022.
Billie Starkz is in the ring, where she welcomes Athena for her celebration of being the longest-reigning champion in all of Ring of Honor history. Athena arrives with Lexy Nair on a chain, and she is taken aback by the streamers and confetti by the MIT Dance Team, who soon dance for a few seconds before Lexy Nair cuts the music, with Athena unimpressed. (Three of the members are Olumide, Alpha Zo and Chris Nasty, who competed on the most recent AEW Collision.) Athena says she asked for Ja Rule, then tells the minions to get out of the ring, which they do with great urgency. Athena says this was supposed to be her day and her moment of celebration, then says her parents were supposed to be here until her mother put getting major surgery over celebrating the only success that she has had in life before calling her mother "selfish." She also wants to know where the women's division is after she "lifted every single one of those hussies out of mediocrity," and while they are "mediocre" and "still suck," she did the best with what she had and she cannot do the Lord's work. Athena says that without her, there would be no ROH, let alone no women's division, and says that day in and day out, she has never been content and has wanted more, and that she has come here and busted her ass and done her job busting "hussies'" heads. She says she is the best in the world and the greatest of all time, but some people want to call her overrated, but Athena prefers the term "underappreciated." She says she deserves more than this, as she has not been pinned or submitted in almost two years, and asks where her flowers, recognition, tribute and appreciation are at. She then says the fans suck and does not know why she is in "this podunk town," then says the party sucks and blames it all on Billie. She says that Billie is jealous of everything that she has done in her career, and that Billie wishes she was her due to how she looks at her, because Billie could not even do a tenth of what she has done in the past year. As she says this last part, she jabs her finger into Billie's chest, and Billie snatches the microphone from Athena's hand before telling Athena she is done. She shoves Athena, then leaves.

Before the next match, "Smart" Mark Sterling complains about having to be in the next match, then says it is okay, because The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari) have promised that nobody will lay a hand on him. As usual, the "Athletes Rule" chant turns into "Athletes Suck."

Backstage, Athena holds a special emergency Minion Empowerment Meeting, as they are planning a surprise celebration for Athena for being the longest-reigning champion in ROH history. Athena says they will require everyone to attend and that there will be cupcakes, whiskey, punch, and kittens as Lexy Nair tries to come up with a musical guest. They both soon see a disinterested looking Billie Starkz, and Athena tells Billie she would not have put her in the ring with Abadon if she knew she could not handle the situation, then tells her to stop moping because it is her time and it is about time that she got her flowers. She says that the last thing she wants is Billie having a problem, and that the first step in solving a problem is admitting there is a problem, but Billie says Athena is the problem and that she left her in the ring even though she had her back. Athena counters by saying Billie did not have hers or Lexy's, and tells Billie to either be there for her special day or just stay home. Billie says "Okay," and walks off. Athena then asks Lexy to deal with Billie, and after Lexy leaves, Athena asks why there is always drama as Abadon is suddenly behind her try to lay a hand on her.

We hear from JD Drake, who says that he has been lost for the last month and that it shows in everything that he does. He talks about how he got a $2 in his change and how he got a $2 in his picture frame from his late uncle as well as how you have two choices in life when times get tough - quit or keep working - and while The Workhorsemen (JD Drake and Anthony Henry) may not be a thing in the forseeable future, it is time to be "a workhorse man," punch in, knock out and give ROH "a $2 bill's worth of ass whuppin'."
Toa Liona beats Jimmy Wild.

The Infantry ("The Captain" Shawn Dean and "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo) vs. Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) in an ROH World Tag Team Championship Proving Grounds Match ends in a ten-minute time-limit draw.

After the match, Carlie Bravo says they have a tag team title match, and demands a match with the titles on the line tomorrow night at Supercard of Honor.
Backstage, we hear from Kyle Fletcher. He is interrupted by "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson as Kyle is about to talk about him, and Kyle says he outlasted five other men to become World Television Champion while Lee Johnson was the first man to be eliminated, and that Lee Johnson is nowhere near his level and has no chance of taking his title from him. Lee Johnson says that Kyle Fletcher has not made much of a point to come to Ring of Honor while he has been on a roll, and that Fletcher is crazy if he thinks he will see the same man that he saw last year. He says that Supercard of Honor will become "The Shotty Show," but Fletcher says he has no chance.
Anna Jay beats Nikita.
In footage from earlier this week, Dalton Castle has try-outs for new Boys, but they are crashed by Johnny TV and Taya Valkyrie. Jerry Lynn gets involved and puts both Dalton Castle and Johnny TV in a match at Supercard of Honor.
Backstage, we hear from Dalton Castle, who says that Johnny TV has torched everything he has, including The Boys (Brandon and Brent Tate), in order to hurt him, but like a phoenix-peacock hybrid, he will rise "like a Penix" in a Fight Without Honor and he will destroy Johnny TV. We then hear from Johnny TV, who says that he is "TV ready," unlike Dalton Castle, and that he will do things to Dalton that Dalton did not think was possible. Johnny TV says he has fought without honor his entire career and that "honor sucks."
"Big Shotty" Lee Johnson beats Nick Comoroto. During the match, Jacoby Watts shows up and watches the match from the stage.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Griff Garrison and Cole Karter. Garrison says they need to keep being themselves in order to succeed, but also gives credit where credit is due to Maria Kanellis-Bennett. As Karter wonders where Maria is, Serepentico shows up with a document, claims to know where Maria is and says that he will only tell him where Maria is if he signs the document he has. Karter signs it without even reading, then Serpentico hands Garrison a copy before stating that he does not where she is before saying that Maria will be there. Garrison and Karter then find out that they have just agreed to a tag team match against Spanish Announce Project (Angelico and Serpentico) at Zero Hour at Supercard of Honor.

We see a vignette for "Smart" Mark Sterling and The Varsity Athletes ("The Premier Athlete" Tony Nese and "The Technical Beast" Josh Woods), who are now known as "The Premier Athletes."
Lexy Nair and Billie Starkz host the first-ever contract signing for the ROH Women's World Championship for Hikaru Shida vs. Athena for the ROH Women's World Championship at Supercard of Honor. After Billie Starkz asks if she would be the new Minion Overlord if she won the Women's Television title and Athena lost hers. Athena shows up as if on cue, but is not bothered by the question. Athena says she is bothered by Hikaru Shida beating her in the past, then demands that Lexy Nair bring out Hikaru Shida, which she does. Shida heads to the ring, then says she has not come alone. Suddenly, Queen Aminata heads to the ring and tells Billie Starks that they went through hell to get here and that they will be making history, and hopes Billie is ready to fight for her life. Billie says she has been ready to crush Aminata's dream and become the first Women's Television Championship. Athena then demands the focus be on her and that they hurry up and sign the contract so that she can go to the mall. Athena then signs the contract, as does Hikaru Shida. Shida then tells Athena that she knows Athena has said she is not scared of her, and while Athena can fool her minions, she cannot fool her. She says Athena is losing it and that she is in her head, and that every time she closes her eyes, she sees Shida beating her. Athena slaps Shida in response, and Billie gets hit by Shida's shinai. Athena topples the table and hits Athena, starting a brawl which ends with Aminata shoving Billie into Athena and hitting her with a headbutt and Shida suplexing Athena through a table.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Eddie Kingston and Mark Briscoe. Mark says April 5th is the same day that Jay Briscoe won his first ROH World Championship before bringing up the fact that he has been with Ring of Honor since the beginning, and that everything has led up to this point and nothing would mean more to him than to win the ROH World Championship and make Jay proud. Eddie says the old him would go look for a bottle to drown himself in after his recent loss, but he cannot do that anymore and he is fighting that, as Mark Briscoe deserves him at 100% and a World Champion who will bring the fight to him. He says Mark inspires him to stay on the straight and narrow, as he knows he would try to crack open a few bottles and drown his demons. Eddie then says he cannot do that, as the ROH World Championship supercedes All Elite Wrestling and that without ROH, there would be no AEW. He says the World Championship means so much due to its lineage and history and that he is proud to be champion. Eddie then talks about how he was at the Eddie Guerrero Appreciation Night show on the night he was kicked out of his first wrestling school and how he watched Jay Briscoe wrestle and wanted to be in Ring of Honor, then says they are taking it back to what ROH is all about and that he cannot and will not lose to Mark Briscoe as much as he loves him and his family, and he will "man up" and they will be in each other's faces, and that he hopes Jay Briscoe is looking down at both of them smiling after they gave "1000%" of everything in their body, as they are pro wrestling and they will make it, show and prove. Both men then shake hands.
Action Andretti and Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) beat "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels, Matt Sydal and Jack Cartwheel in a six-man tag match. Both teams show respect after the match.
Backstage, we hear from Kyle Fletcher. He is interrupted by "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson as Kyle is about to talk about him, and Kyle says he outlasted five other men to become World Television Champion while Lee Johnson was the first man to be eliminated, and that Lee Johnson is nowhere near his level and has no chance of taking his title from him.

Collision Course - Collision recap for March 30, 2024
Adam Copeland heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Copeland says he has finally closed the book on Christian Cage and that it is time to go back to "The Cope Open," and this time, the stakes are higher, as he is putting the TNT Championship on the line. He says that he will not run and hide like Christian; instead, he is here to fight. He issues the open challenge to anyone in the back who wants to face him, and Matt Cardona answers the challenge.

He also says he has sold out Madison Square Garden so many times he cannot remember, and reminds Jay White that he lost in their match and that he will lose next week when they square off on Dynamite. Max Caster says that while Billy Gunn is beating down Jay White, they will stay in the back, and that The Gunns will too if they have faith in Jay White, as there is no way Jay White can beat Billy Gunn in a fight.

Eddie says that after Dynasty, The House of Black will be spitting out blood and teeth instead of black mist.
Kyle O'Reilly beats JD Drake with the cross arm breaker. During the match, it is announced that Collision will start next week at 11:30 PM Eastern, 10:30 PM Central. After the match, Undisputed Kingdom (Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, Mike Bennett) show up and celebrate with O'Reilly.

Collision Course - Collision recap for March 16, 2024
"The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson beats Katsuyori Shibata with a crucifix pin. Both men show good sportsmanship after the match.
Julia Hart retains the TBS Championship against Trish Adora. Under House Rules, the loser of this match will not be able to go out with their team later tonight in the Tag Team Tournament Wild Card Match.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Harley Cameron and Zak Knight. Zak Knight thinks "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker fighting him is a joke and that he will not give him the home field advantage in Canada. Harley proceeds to make fun of Canada, then Zak Knight says the match will happen on his terms.
"Daddy Magic" Matt Menard guests on commentary for the next match.
Daniel Garcia beats "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty with a heel hook after wearing down the left leg during the match.
It is announced that Bullet Club Gold ("Switchblade" Jay White, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn) injured Darby Allin's foot following Darby Allin vs. Jay White on Dynamite and that Darby Allin will be out of action for some time. (This also puts Darby's trip to Mount Everest on hold.)
PAC beats Aaron Solo with the Black Arrow followed by the Brutalizer. After the match, PAC tells Tony Khan that he is back and looking for trouble, then says Aaron Solo is not what he had in mind and demands some or else he will find it himself.
Backstage, "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson says that he is thankful he was able to wrestle Katsuyori Shibata tonight, as they were both told that they would never wrestle again, yet they fought like hell tonight. He is also thankful that he has a match with Will Ospreay coming up at Dynasty, and he has hard what Ospreay has had to say. Danielson says Ospreay has been emulating him, but he will never be able to walk in his shoes as he has not been on death's door. He says that Ospreay can keep talking about what he is willing to do, because he knows what he can do and he thinks Ospreay is not ready for that yet.
Claudio Castagnoli vs. Lance Archer ends in a no-contest after The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) rush into the ring to attack Claudio. Bryan Danielson runs into the ring to make the save, but the numbers game catches up. All of a sudden, Katsuyori Shibata shows up with a metal folding chair and chases Archer and The Righteous out of the ring.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Ruby Soho and "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker. Angelo says he does not know what to think right now, as Ottawa is a second home to him and he wants a fight now. Ruby says Harley Cameron and Zak Knight want to bait him in, and if he looks for a fight, it will be without her. Angelo apologizes and lets it go for tonight.
Kyle O'Reilly beats "The Outlaw" Bryan Keith with the arm bar following the sheer drop brainbuster in his first match in almost two years. After the match, Undisputed Kingdom celebrate with O'Reilly.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo and Thunder Rosa. Purrazzo says the enemy of an enemy is a friend, and while they have never tagged, they have faced each other, and she trusts Thunder Rosa. She says that Toni Storm tapped out, and if it were not for Luther and Mariah May, she would be champion. Thunder Rosa mentions that she never lost the title, and says that if Toni and Mariah want drama, they will get it, and they will stop all the games and jokes.
The Infantry ("The Captain" Shawn Dean and "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo) beat The House of Black (Brody King and Buddy Matthews) in a World Tag Team Tournament Wild Card Match to qualify for the tournament. As per pre-match stipulation from the TBS Championship match, Trish Adora is banned from ringside for this match.

After the match, Malakai Black shows up and stares down Mark Briscoe.
We see another video package of the events leading to Adam Copeland vs. Christian Cage in an "I Quit" Match for the TNT Championship next week on Dynamite.
Adam Copeland heads to the ring with the box with the word "Spike" on it. Copeland talks about how he always through Christian Cage was his best friend of 40 years, then says "Jay is dead" and that he has "become Christian Cage," and that it was professional wrestling that cemented their friendship. He says that they crushed their dreams and thought that they would be friends after their careers, and that he came to AEW to retire with Christian, not to take his shine and shadow his accomplishments. Copeland admits he failed before and that he is not used to repeated failures, and when he earned his title shot, The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne, Killswitch, Mama Wayne) took him out. He then says that he got a phone call and was remind of who he was, then opens up the box and pulls out "Spike," a 4x4 with nails sticking out of it. Copeland says that a call from Mick Foley reminded him of who he was, that there is a dark side to him that Christian has never seen, and that next week, he will make Christian say that he quits after he takes everything from him. He then says that 40 years after it started, it ends in their hometown.
Julia Hart retains the TBS Championship against Trish Adora. Under House Rules, the loser of this match will not be able to go out with their team later tonight in the Tag Team Tournament Wild Card Match.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Harley Cameron and Zak Knight. Zak Knight thinks "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker fighting him is a joke and that he will not give him the home field advantage in Canada. Harley proceeds to make fun of Canada, then Zak Knight says the match will happen on his terms.

Daniel Garcia beats "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty with a heel hook after wearing down the left leg during the match.
It is announced that Bullet Club Gold ("Switchblade" Jay White, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn) injured Darby Allin's foot following Darby Allin vs. Jay White on Dynamite and that Darby Allin will be out of action for some time. (This also puts Darby's trip to Mount Everest on hold.)
PAC beats Aaron Solo with the Black Arrow followed by the Brutalizer. After the match, PAC tells Tony Khan that he is back and looking for trouble, then says Aaron Solo is not what he had in mind and demands some or else he will find it himself.
Backstage, "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson says that he is thankful he was able to wrestle Katsuyori Shibata tonight, as they were both told that they would never wrestle again, yet they fought like hell tonight. He is also thankful that he has a match with Will Ospreay coming up at Dynasty, and he has hard what Ospreay has had to say. Danielson says Ospreay has been emulating him, but he will never be able to walk in his shoes as he has not been on death's door. He says that Ospreay can keep talking about what he is willing to do, because he knows what he can do and he thinks Ospreay is not ready for that yet.
Claudio Castagnoli vs. Lance Archer ends in a no-contest after The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) rush into the ring to attack Claudio. Bryan Danielson runs into the ring to make the save, but the numbers game catches up. All of a sudden, Katsuyori Shibata shows up with a metal folding chair and chases Archer and The Righteous out of the ring.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Ruby Soho and "Cool Hand" Angelo Parker. Angelo says he does not know what to think right now, as Ottawa is a second home to him and he wants a fight now. Ruby says Harley Cameron and Zak Knight want to bait him in, and if he looks for a fight, it will be without her. Angelo apologizes and lets it go for tonight.
Kyle O'Reilly beats "The Outlaw" Bryan Keith with the arm bar following the sheer drop brainbuster in his first match in almost two years. After the match, Undisputed Kingdom celebrate with O'Reilly.
Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo and Thunder Rosa. Purrazzo says the enemy of an enemy is a friend, and while they have never tagged, they have faced each other, and she trusts Thunder Rosa. She says that Toni Storm tapped out, and if it were not for Luther and Mariah May, she would be champion. Thunder Rosa mentions that she never lost the title, and says that if Toni and Mariah want drama, they will get it, and they will stop all the games and jokes.
The Infantry ("The Captain" Shawn Dean and "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo) beat The House of Black (Brody King and Buddy Matthews) in a World Tag Team Tournament Wild Card Match to qualify for the tournament.
