Pariah - The PAB will answer to Gargano and company at EVOLVE 69. But first they have to defend their tag titles against mystery opponents. Crimson Cross - I liked Roddy winning the EVOLVE title as well as his pairing with SoCal Val. If they can retain the title against Matt Riddle, I have a story line waiting for Roddy and Val that should be fun. cruefan68 - Riddle has been on a roll and his shot comes right now! 68 Trent Barreta w/Su Yung defeated RicochetThis was Ricochet’s first appearance since EVOLVE 61 and the crowd appreciated his return. Trent was not as welcoming as he blistered Ricochet with chops and kicks and got a near fall with a corkscrew senton. Trent hit a cross body from the top rope to pin Ricochet, who suffered a let down in his return. Zack Sabre Jr def. Drew Gulak w/Tracy WilliamsIn the first of two matches pitting the Gulak Shoot Academy against stars from the UK, Gulak was looking to bounce back from losing the EVOLVE Championship at EVOLVE 67. Sabre schooled Drew, countering him at every turn and going for an early Cross Armbreaker. Gulak escaped but had his shoulders pinned to the mat with a Dragon Suplex. Tracy Williams joined Drew in the ring and they discussed what went wrong. Now it was Williams’ turn to try and get one in the win column for the GSA. Tracy Williams w/Drew Gulak def. Will OspreayWilliams thoroughly out-grappled Ospreay, making him submit to a Facelock. Will was dejected by his poor performance. Drew Gulak got into the ring and explained to Ospreay that Tracy won because he was willing to shoot. He then offered Ospreay a spot in the Gulak Shoot Academy, promising he could teach him to do the same. Will accepted and the three left together. Johnny Gargano def. TJ PerkinsGargano may have had tomorrow night’s showdown with the Premiere Athlete Brand on his mind because Perkins got the jump on him and gave him a run for his money. Johnny did prevail in the end, forcing TJP to tap to a Crosston Crab. The ever clammy Trevin Adams introduced the DGUSA Open the United Gate Champions, the Premiere Athlete Brand. Anthony Nese and Caleb Konley came out with secretary Su Yung. Trevin explained that the PAB have held the Open the United Gate titles for over two years now and defeated all of the competition currently in EVOLVE. That is why EVOLVE management had to go outside of the company to find competition for tonight’s title defense. Nese grabbed the mic and said no one has beat them in two years and that wasn’t going to change. Konley demanded Trevin bring whoever it was out so they could get this over with. With that, Trevin turned the mic over to Joanna Rose who announced the team of Detective Dan Barry, Detective Bill Carr - Team Tremendous. Nese and Konley looked at each other, uncertain what to make of the unorthodox duo that would be challenging them. OPEN THE UNITED GATE CHAMPIONSHIPPremiere Athlete Brand def. Team TremendousNese and Barry started for their teams and Tony struck first with a front kick/spinning heel kick combo that knocked the wind out of Dan. Going for the quick kill, Nese used a Reverse Piledriver but only got a two count. Konley tagged in and after a couple of strong moves, put Dan in the Oh! Face. Barry wouldn’t give. Nese was back in with another Reverse Piledriver for a 2 ⅞ count. Tony tossed Barry to the floor and wouldn’t let him back into the ring as he talked big to the crowd. Nese whiffed a 450 Splash and Barry made a comeback then tagged in Carr. Team Tremendous worked over Nese for a bit. The PAB showed champion’s poise and turned away their opponent’s surge. Caleb somehow got Carr into the Oh! Face. The big man submitted and the PAB proved once again to be one of the best tag teams in the world. EVOLVE CHAMPIONSHIPRoderick Strong w/SoCal Val def. Matt RiddleMatt Riddle’s meteoric rise in EVOLVE only met one stumbling block in the form of Roderick Strong at EVOLVE 64. Now that Strong was EVOLVE Champion and RIddle was the number one contender, the stakes were much higher. SoCal Val tried belittling Riddle, reminding him of his previous loss to Strong, but Matt, as usual, was unphased. Riddle tried opening with a judo throw that was blocked by Roderick who countered with a half nelson backbreaker. Moments later, Strong came off the top rope with a cross body and hooked the tights for a cheap pin fall. Strong bailed out of the ring with a big grin on his face and, for once, Riddle’s lax attitude was replaced with indignation. The fans booed, and rightly so, as this much anticipated match was marred by the questionably booked flash finish.

Well, that main event title match between Riddle and Strong came to a rather uninspiring conclusion... Some might say that Riddle got what he deserved, but others would regard the tactics of the champ as inexcusable... No matter which side of the argument you're on, one thing remains true... If Roddy tries something like that again, it will probably backfire...
PAB continue to look sharp... Nese and Konley are an extremely talented duo and I would like to see some much stronger competition head in their direction...
Some great action on this edition of Evolve and I feel like you're building toward some really great stuff... Guys like TJP, Hot Sauce, Ospreay and Team Tremendous have only just arrived on the scene and all of them could make major impacts in the near future... Can't wait for more!

Our friend Pariah just about summed it up perfectly. I was really hoping to see Matt Riddle strike gold but Roderick Strong got one over on him. The PAB looked solid in retaining the tag titles beating Team Tremendous and are going to be tough to unseat in my opinion.

Pariah , cruefan68 - Much like he did in my ROH fed, Roderick Strong appears to be willing to get over by hook or by crook. We could see a long title run for him here too. As long as he doesn't come across someone more unscrupulous than he is... The Premiere Athlete Brand always seem to find a way to win. Their big showdown with Johnny Gargano is next. Will they prevail? Read on! 69 Matt Riddle drew with TJ PerkinsRiddle was coming off a failed bid for the EVOLVE Championship last night, losing in controversial fashion to Roderick Strong. TJP had the unenviable task of being the first man to step into the ring with Riddle since that frustrating loss. And Matt took out that frustration on Perkins for the opening stretch of the match. TJP came back and almost made Matt quit with a headscissors crucifix submission. Riddle used his size to regain control and an array of knees, suplexes, and submissions to try and put TJP away but he couldn’t get it done before the time limit expired. Riddle was dejected and perhaps showed a loss of confidence for the first time. Roderick Strong def. Will Ospreay w/GSALenny Leonard noted that SoCal Val was not at the side of EVOLVE Champion Roderick Strong when he came to the ring. Ospreay was accompanied to the ring by his new Gulak Shoot Academy teammates, Drew Gulak and Tracy Williams. Roddy made short work of Will as the “Aerial Assassin” took Death by Roderick before being made to tap out with the Strong Hold. Strong dismissively shook his head looking in Gulak’s direction, unimpressed with what the GSA had to offer. Team Tremendous def. Gulak Shoot AcademyBefore the match started, Drew Gulak told the crowd that Team Tremendous was the antithesis of what the GSA was about. He said that Tracy Williams and himself were all about competition, not playing “dumb characters”. Detectives Bill Carr and Dan Barry pretended to be insulted and the crowd supported them, booing as Gulak tried to speak. Drew got angry and gave up trying to get his point across. Gulak squared off against Carr to start the match and made a statement, body slamming the bigger man with authority. Drew grounded Bill and plied his submission game. Barry tagged in, blasting Gulak with a leg lariat. Team Tremendous controlled Gulak for some time, Carr getting a near fall on Drew after a big splash. Barry flipped Drew from the top rope with a Fallaway Slam Moonsault for the pin. Gulak was po’d after losing the fall and Williams expressed displeasure to his teammate about not getting any ring time. Tommy End def. RicochetTommy was all over his opponent at the bell, twice trying to pin Ricochet after a German Suplex. A roundhouse high kick also almost put Ricochet away. A vertical drop brainbuster for another near fall. A third German Suplex by End and Ricochet’s EVOLVE return came to an inauspicious close. EVOLUTION'S ENDJohnny Gargano, Timothy Thatcher, & Zack Sabre Jr. def. Premiere Athlete Brand w/Su YungThis final showdown between Johnny Gargano and the PAB would be contested in EVOLVE’s traditional blow off match - Evolution’s End. Any action taking place outside of the ring would not be subject to disqualification but the match must end inside the squared circle. Trent Barreta started the match trying to taunt Thatcher who remained placid. The PAB isolated Thatcher and beat on him unmercifully. Barely able to move, Tim made the tag to Sabre. Zack didn’t fare much better and Trent? pinned him with a Cradle Belly-To-Belly Driver. The Crowd was stunned that Gargano never made it into the ring and Johnny was dumbfounded as well. As the PAB gloated about the butt kicking they just handed out, Johnny got on the microphone and refused to let it end like that. He said this was between him and the PAB and that’s how it had to end. The crowd backed him all the way. The PAB shook their heads and started to leave. Gargano told them to go ahead and leave if they were so chicken. The crowd took this as a cue and started a “Chicken” chant. Nese and Co. got flustered and Tony joined Johnny in the ring, taking the mic from him. Nese said that if this was between them and him, then Johnny would send his friends to the back and they would continue this. Lenny Leonard commented that Johnny would be foolish to accept but knew he would anyway. And that is what happened. With both sides in agreement, the ref restarted the match. Johnny and Trent started shoving each other until Gargano dropped Barreta with an enzuigiri and put him in the Gargano Escape. Johnny cranked on the hold as the ref kept Nese and Caleb Konley from interfering. Johnny kept Trent in the hold but he wouldn’t tap out. Gargano gave Trent a Hurts Donut. Barreta rolled out of the ring but Johnny went out and threw him right back in and applied the Gargano Escape again. Su Yung pulled Trent’s foot under the ropes to break the hold. Trent rolled out of the ring again and this time rammed Johnny into the post when he came after him. Konley tagged in and got a couple of pin attempts before Nese insisted on being tagged in. Tony missed a 450 Splash and got put into the Gargano Escape. Gargano used the Hurts Donut twice and went back to his finisher. Johnny yelled and pulled back hard on the hold and Nese had to give. The crowd popped as Johnny jubilantly celebrated the win. The PAB retreated to lick their wounds but Gargano went after them and took the DGUSA Open the Freedom Gate title belt that Su Yung had been carrying. The PAB made no attempt to get it back and left. This whole feud was predicated on Nese stealing Johnny’s prize possession and now he had it back. He stood in the middle of the ring holding the belt high and Thatcher and Sabre rejoined him. In a shocking turn of events, a scowl crossed Johnny’s face as he struck down his two partners with the belt. As they writhed on the canvas, he yelled at them, saying that the belt was his and they couldn’t have it. The crowd began to boo and Johnny seemed bewildered by them turning on him as he turned on his partners. After a moment, he got on the mic and told the fans in attendance that if they couldn’t appreciate him being their champion, he would take his talent elsewhere. A disgusted Lenny Leonard signed off, bidding the unstable Gargano good riddance. EVOLVE TOP 10Champion - Roderick Strong - Johnny Gargano
- Tracy Williams
- Trent Barreta
- Zack Sabre Jr.
- Tommy End

Does the inactive DGUSA title hold some kind of mystical sway over Gargano? It looks like he completely reverted to his previous mental instability as soon as he put his hands on the belt... And now he's threatening to leave the promotion entirely... What a crazy finish...
Speaking of a rough night, it looks like a number of competitors experienced one... After a couple of disheartening matches, Riddle appears to be losing his swagger... The Gulak Shoot Academy could not get it together... And Ricochet lost his return bout to The End in extremely disappointing fashion...
Lots to build on here and I'm looking forward to what comes next... Fun stuff!

Pariah - Gargano has indeed left the company (for now). He's had a long stretch in the spotlight and at the conclusion of this storyline I had planned for him to leave. As usual, some new faces and returns will hopefully fill the void. 70 The show opened with a returning Drew Galloway coming out and pumping up the crowd. Then he said with company business done, it was now time for personal business. He said things weren’t done between him and Matt Riddle and he challenged Riddle to a match later tonight. Galloway was then interrupted by the Premiere Athlete Brand. Anthony Nese, Caleb Konley, Trent Barreta, and Su Yung got into the ring. Nese took the mic and told Drew that he couldn’t come and go as he felt and still think he’s top dog in EVOLVE, that honor goes to the PAB. Galloway got flared up but controlled himself and peacefully left. Nese continued, saying the PAB had some things that needed to be taken care of. Nese gave the mic to Su Yung who consulted her tablet then informed Trent that he was fired. Barreta was dumbfounded and started to protest. Konley took the mic and told him to “walk away while you still can.” As Trent departed, Nese explained that the PAB doesn’t have room for part-timers and guys who can’t hold up their end. Nese then called out Timothy Thatcher, saying they were gonna settle their score once and for all. Thatcher emerged through the curtain to answer Nese’s challenge. Timothy Thatcher def. Anthony Nese w/PABNese roughed Thatcher up until Tim came back with the Tower of McGuinness for a pin attempt. Tony kicked out but wound up in the Thatcher Stretch and he tapped out. Konley jumped in the ring to ambush Thatcher. As Caleb put the boots to him, Thatcher’s ally Zack Sabre Jr. came out for the save. The PAB backed down and Sabre leveled a challenge at his rival Konley. Caleb accepted, then Zack upped the ante saying he wanted both PAB members to tap out tonight. He suggested a submission match. Under pressure from the crowd, Konley accepted. SUBMISSION MATCHCaleb Konley w/PAB def. Zack Sabre Jr. w/Timothy ThatcherThe combatants gamely approached each other, engaging in a knuckle lock. Sabre slipped into a snap double arm suplex that rattled Konley and applied a Cross Armbreaker. Caleb scrambled to get his foot on the ropes to break the hold. Zack punished Konley with three straight Penalty Kicks that left him writhing on the mat. Konley escaped another Cross Armbreaker, Tony and Su lending encouragement from ringside. Caleb had a short comeback which included him hitting the Home Wrecker on Sabre but Zack caught him with a European uppercut as he came off the top turnbuckle. The two continued to battle back and forth with Sabre taking a lot of damage. The two ended up brawling into the crowd and Konley put Zack in the Oh! Face on the floor. Sabre submitted. Konley refused to release the hold and Thatcher had to fight past Nese to make the rescue. Fred Yehi def. Will Ospreay w/GSAYehi was making his debut against Ospreay who joined the Gulak Shoot Academy at EVOLVE 68. Yehi out-grappled Will in the opening minutes going for the pin after a Blame Bell. Drew Gulak and Tracy Williams rooted on Ospreay from his corner. Fred’s unorthodox style kept Will off balance with suplexes and a variety of strikes. Yehi put the UK star in a Koji Clutch but was unsuccessful with the submission attempt. Ospreay caught Yehi with a handspring rebound enzuigiri that may have got the pin if Fred hadn’t landed with his feet under the ropes. A Standing Shooting Star Press and an Essex Destroyer also failed to pin Yehi. Ospreay rolled on offense until Fred leveled him with a flying shoulder block and locked on the Koji Clutch again. Ospreay submitted and the crowd showed Yehi their appreciation. Gulak must have also been impressed as he asked Fred to join the GSA. Yehi accepted and he and Ospreay shook hands. EVOLVE Champion Roderick Strong came out and mocked the GSA, calling them a joke and saying it was the blind leading the blind. Tracy Williams stepped forward to defend his mentor and teammates. “Hot Sauce” told Strong that he would beat him in their championship match scheduled for later tonight and prove the GSA was the next evolution in pro wrestling. Roddy laughed and shook his head. He let Williams know that they didn’t have to wait until later, they could do this right now. EVOLVE CHAMPIONSHIPTracy Williams w/GSA def. Roderick Strong(c)Lenny Leonard commented that Strong’s manager SoCal Val was again conspicuously absent, much like she has been since Strong won the EVOLVE title. Roddy taunted the GSA in Williams’ corner and Lenny suggested that Strong better focus on his opponent. “Hot Sauce” tried surprising the champion with a shotgun dropkick but Roderick stepped aside then crushed Williams with a half nelson backbreaker. A Gibson Driver got a two count on Williams and Roddy seemed happy that Tracy was ready for more. Williams defiantly kicked out after The End of Heartache and Roddy started getting serious. Tracy ducked a rolling elbow and grounded Roddy with a front chancery in an attempt to recover. Strong fought his way back to his feet only to have Williams bring him right back down with a single underhook brainbuster for a two count. A bleary Strong stumbled to his feet and Williams was right on him, executing a Piledriver. Tracy made the cover and the ref counted to three. In a huge upset, Tracy Williams was the new EVOLVE champion. The GSA flooded the ring and hoisted him up on their shoulders as the crowd cheered. Once the GSA finished celebrating, a crestfallen Roderick Strong remained on his knees in the ring. “Roderick Strong” a voice said over the house sound system. Roddy stood up, looking around for it’s source. The video on the big screen changed from the EVOLVE display to a grainy black and white shot of a door at the end of a hallway. The camera moved towards the door, which began to open. Then the video cut off and returned to normal. Roddy and the crowd were all in WTF mode wondering what that was all about. Lenny Leonard echoed this, stating that someone was playing mind games on Strong. Team Tremendous def. Bravado BrothersThe winners of this match would receive a shot at the DGUSA Open the United Gate Championship against the Premier Athlete Brand at EVOLVE 71 tomorrow night. The Bravados got in the faces of Detectives Dan Barry and Bill Carr and the Team Tremendous boys did not back down. As the ref separated them, Harlem and Lancelot hit them with a sneak attack to get the dirty advantage. Barry took the Gentleman’s Agreement and Harlem went for the cover. Barry kicked out at two. Harlem beat on Dan and blasted him with a bicycle kick and went for another cover. Kick out again and Lancelot tagged in. The Bravados worked some double team combos as the ref worked on keeping Carr in his corner. The Bravados kept the advantage but Carr brought his team back and eventually he and Barry got on track. The teams had a good exchange with Team Tremendous coming out on top with Barry pinning Harlem after they hit with Book ‘Em Danno. Team Tremendous would get a rematch with the PAB, hoping to do better than their disappointing showing the last time the two teams met. Drew Galloway def. Matt RiddleRiddle came out with his usual swagger, apparently putting his poor performance during the last EVOLVE weekend behind him. Galloway got the same reception that he did at the top of the show. Before Joanna Rose could make another of her robotic introductions, Riddle took the mic. “Just so you know, I’m only doing this because I’ve been promised that main event pay, bro.”Galloway nodded grudgingly, then criticized Riddle for only being in this for the money, saying that most of the EVOLVE locker room were competitors who loved professional wrestling and would be doing it in some dark alley for no pay. Riddle scoffed and awaited the bell. Galloway was looking to avenge his loss to Riddle at EVOLVE 63 and really took it to the former MMA star. A Scot Drop led to a near fall. Su Yung of the Premiere Athlete Brand appeared at ringside, giving Drew pause. Turning his focus back to Riddle, he used his Double Arm DDT to end the match, soundly beating his opponent. Su tapped a few things into her tablet, then left. Galloway gave another rousing speech to pump up the crowd before the show signed off.

Snap! Superb showing by Galloway in between some rousing monologues... If Riddle wants to keep getting paid, he may want to start earning his keep on the roster... And what about Su Yung? Was she out there scouting the opposition or a potential replacement for the recently fired Barreta?
Roddy Strong has gotta be disappointed with his current trajectory... He leaves ROH presumably to focus more on being the Evolve champ, just to lose the title... Big victory for Hot Sauce and the GSA... That disembodied voice at the conclusion of the match was quite ominous... Looking forward to watching this story unfold...
Of course, we will all miss the antics of the Whole Shebang... But, there's no shortage of talent here... Great stuff!

Pariah - I'm as disappointed as Roderick Strong in his short title reign. I was hoping for him to be the face of the company for a while. But I'm a fan of Hot Sauce as well so we'll see how he does as champions. And Roddy still has the unfolding developments recently introduced. As far as to what Su Yung was up to? You're about to find out... 71 Drew Galloway def. Drew Gulak w/GSAGulak was accompanied to the ring by Gulak Shoot Academy members Fred Yehi, Will Ospreay, and EVOLVE Champion Tracy Williams. Galloway surveyed the wrestlers in Gulak’s corner. “I have to say: you’ve assembled an impressive array of talent, Drew. If things play out like they do in this crazy world of professional wrestling, I’ll guess I’ll have to go through each one of you to get that…” Galloway pointed at the EVOLVE strap over Williams’ shoulder. “Starting with you.” He turned to Gulak and attacked. Galloway came at Gulak hard but Drew returned fire. Trading back and forth, Galloway stretched the advantage delivering two brutal slams on the ring apron, setting up Gulak for a Double Arm DDT. Galloway was blown away when Gulak kicked out of the ensuing pin attempt. He gave Gulak his finisher again and Drew still kicked out. It was around this point that Su Yung of the Premiere Athlete Brand came out and began making notes on her tablet. Galloway dumped the battered Gulak to the floor then took notice of Su. He didn’t let her presence distract him long, as he followed Gulak to the floor. The GSA had moved to the spot where Gulak landed. Galloway picked up the chair and threatened them into stepping back before using it on his opponent. Tossing Gulak back into the ring, Galloway hit the Double Arm DDT again for the finish. The GSA cleared out but Su Yung remained. “I don’t know what the hell you’re doing out here, darling,” stated Galloway. “But the Premiere Athlete Brand would be fools to get in my way.”Drew leaned over the ropes causing Su to cower. From out of the crowd on the opposite side of the ring, Matt Riddle got in the ring and when Galloway turned towards him, Matt hit him with a jumping knee to the head, knocking him senseless. Riddle then grabbed an ankle and put Galloway in a Heel Hook. As Drew yelled out from the pain, Anthony Nese and Caleb Konley came out. With Galloway trapped by Riddle, they put the boots to him. Drew rendered nearly unconscious, Nese and Konley raised Riddle’s hands, welcoming him to the Premiere Athlete Brand. Zack Sabre Jr. def. Timothy ThatcherBefore this match, Thatcher had called out his friend Sabre and challenged him to a sporting contest in the wake of last night’s conclusion to their ugly rivalry with the Premiere Athlete Brand at EVOLVE 70. The two shook hands before they came out of the gate with hard hitting offense, not the grappling exhibition that was expected. Thatcher eventually grounded Zack for a few minutes. Sabre came out on top though as he evaded a charge in the corner by Tim and took him over with a tight sunset flip for the pin. Roderick Strong def. Fred Yehi w/GSAStrong thought he would enter this match as the EVOLVE Champion but Yehi’s GSA teammate Tracy Williams now held that title and was at ringside with the rest of the GSA crew. Drew Gulak verbally attacked Strong, throwing Roddy’s previous mocking of the GSA back in his face. Yehi tried showing up Strong in the early going but that was put to a stop with Death by Roderick. Fred dug deep to escape the Strong Hold but Roddy took him up and over with an Olympic Slam, hooking the leg for a three count. Strong and Gulak began exchanging words and Roddy told Williams that he wanted a rematch. This was interrupted by a repeat of what happened at EVOLVE 70. The EVOLVE theme on the house video screen switched to a grainy shot of a door at the end of a hallway. “Roderick Strong” spoke a voice. The camera shot started to move down the hallway as the voice over continued. “I’ve been watching you, Roderick. Quite the curious chap you are. Constantly straddling the line between good and evil, never falling to one side or the other. Well, Roderick,” the door slowly began to open. “I want to help you commit to what you really are. Will you be a hero? Or will you be… a villain?" On the other side of the door was Roderick’s manager, a frightened SoCal Val, tied to a chair and gagged. “CHICKENWING!!!” Trent Barreta def. Matt Riddle w/Su YungTrent was tasked with facing his apparent replacement in the PAB after being fired last night at EVOLVE 70. Riddle was in control for most of the match, using his grappling skills to confound Barreta at every turn. Late in the match, Trent made a high-adrenaline comeback, pinning Riddle. Trent left the ring laughing with vindication as Riddle could not get back on track after a string of poor performances. Bravado Brothers def. Will Ospreay & Tracy Williams w/GSAWilliams, the new EVOLVE Champion, joined UK standout Ospreay in representing the Gulak Shoot Academy. Ospreay started for his team and was worked over by Harlem and the Bravados tried to finish him early with the Gentleman’s Agreement and the Gentleman’s Approach. Will escaped defeat both times only to be jarred with a buckle bomb by Lancelot for the pin. Williams did not see action and Drew Gulak got in the ring to speak to Ospreay and appeared to be critical with him. OPEN THE UNITED GATE CHAMPIONSHIPTeam Tremendous def. Premiere Athlete Brand(c) w/Su YungThis was a rematch from EVOLVE 68 where the PAB pretty much rolled over Team Tremendous. Caleb Konley started out against Bill Carr and we got a power versus agility contest that Carr won. Anthony Nese and Dan Barry squared off next with Nese overwhelming his opponent with his superior athleticism. Barry and Carr used teamwork to put the titles in jeopardy as they isolated Nese. The finish came as Tony was on the receiving end of Book ‘Em Danno with Carr scoring the pinfall. Team Tremendous finally ended the PAB’s two plus year reign as champions and the crowd loved it. EVOLVE TOP 10Champion - Tracy Williams - Drew Galloway
- Roderick Strong
- Trent Barreta
- Zack Sabre Jr.
- Timothy Thatcher

- Fred Yehi

Oh, snap... Two title changes in as many shows... Congratulations to Team Tremendous on claiming the belts... Did not think they'd be able to take them from Nese & Konley...
Lots of crazy developments... Roddy Strong has a secret admirer who's identity really isn't that secret at all... But, I wonder - How did he manage to abduct Val? I've gotta a funny feeling that someone close to Roddy is part of this conspiracy to run him even further of track...
Riddle is Barreta's replacement in the PAB and he's wasting no time... Attacking Galloway could be the best way to establish himself quickly... It could also lead to a beating...
Excellent work!

I loved Matt Riddle joining the PAB but it actually turned out to be a bad night for Su Yung and her men. Riddle loses to Trent Barreta and Nese & Konley drop the tag titles to Team Tremendous. How will PAB recover from this night? It will be interesting to see what they do next especially after making another enemy in Drew Galloway. The Roderick Strong angle has me intrigued as Strong, coming off his title loss to Tracy Williams, looks like he is going to be distracted from trying to regain his title. Excellent show.
