Once again, Run This Town by Jay-Z plays us into the next episode of PRIDE Wrestling, as we pan over the large Memphis crowd. Tonight, Memphisโ FedEx Forum is about to be blessed with a night of phenomenal wrestling, as Mauro Ranallo prepares to go over tonightโs card. With matches such as Mickie James vs. PRIDE Womenโs Champion Sasha Banks, Gran Metalik vs. Scorpio Sky in a qualifying match for the TV Title Gauntlet match, Takeshi Sugiura vs. Shelton Benjamin with the winner getting a shot at Keith Leeโs Intercontinental Championship, and a main event such as Lance Archer vs. Jay White in a Title vs. Career match, the crowd is sure to get their moneyโs worth and then some. But before we see those bouts, we witness the return of Daniel Bryan, who we havenโt seen since the PRIDE after Survival of the Fittest, where he was attacked by MJF.
The former PRIDE Champion gets a warm reception, coming out in a sleeveless โGOATโ shirt as we spot the taped up right shoulder as a result of MJFโs Salt of the Earth submission that Bryan was stuck in for a good period of time. With a microphone in his left hand, he prepares to โYes!โ his way down the ramp, doing so with his one good arm before reaching the bottom. He slides into the ring, being cautious of his shoulder as he enters, before continuing the one-armed Yes! chant as he hops onto the turnbuckle.
After he hops off of the middle rope, Bryan begins to address the crowd. โWell, we all saw what happened to me a couple weeks ago? How MJF walked out here and took advantage of a battle-scarred Daniel Bryan? Max, Iโm not going to lie, when you came out that night, I was genuinely surprised. I wasnโt expecting to see you here. I thought that you were still over on Apex Wrestling, doing whatever great stuff you were up to over there. What was it that you did last? Lose to Mustafa Ali? But back to my point, your attack on me was surely out of the blue, as my mind was still on the forty-five minutes that I had spent in the ring with Jay White. But while youโre still on my mind, I didnโt come out here to speak about Max, I came out here to talk about how Iโm going to get my PRIDE Championship back.โ
โYou see, Iโm still gunning for the gold that I once so proudly held across my shoulder. The gold that either Jay White or Lance Archer is walking out with tonight. Iโm here to put those two, and Zack Sabre Jr. on notice, because I talked to Paige, and next week, me and t

>โIโve got to tell you, I had a blast working with D-Lo Brown and Matt Striker and what a match between AEW Champion Kenny Omega and Unified IMPACT belt-holder Rich Swann in a title-for-title mega main event. A big thank you to my friend Scott DโAmore and all the people in IMPACT Wrestling crew and locker room for making me feel so welcome. It reminded me of, honestly, when I started my career at 16. Yeah, last night reignited my passion for professional wrestling. Very chill, relaxed atmosphere โ a lot of support, a lot of respect, and a lot of hungry and determined roster comprising some decorated vets and some very talented up-and-comers.โ
>โI thought everyone delivered and from what I understand, the pay-per-view is getting rave reviews, and even more importantly, the pay-per-view buyrate should be one of the best that IMPACT Wrestling has done in some time. Yeah, it was great to see so many familiar faces and I do hope to get to do it again.โ
Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alverez praised this as one of the best womenโs matchโs on American soil. OFC Japanese female wreslting is where Meltzer sees the greatest womenโs matchโs taking place, but this was up there with some of the best according to him. Do you agree?
P.S. If your mad at someoneโs opinion on a match then ignore it
Edit: Since some of yโall are interpreting getting mad is = disagree. You can disgree but donโt be salty
Edit: Listening further, he said it was top 3 in American womenโs history alongside I believe Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Evolution 2018 and Sasha vs Bayley at Takeover

We open to the March 6th edition of PRIDE with Jay-Zโs Run This Town playing for us as we pan across the fans in Nashvilleโs Bridgestone Arena. Mauro and Byron welcome us to the show, going over tonightโs matches for us. Tonight, we see Lucha House Party take on Daniels and Kazarian of SCU, with the winner earning a shot at the Usosโ PRIDE Tag Team Championships in the future. Also, we see the in-ring debut of MJF, alongside Drew Gulak vs. Kofi Kingston, with the winner entering the TV Title Gauntlet match. In the main event, three of PRIDEโs best women face each other, with Jordynne Grace, Mercedes Martinez, and Toni Storm all squaring off, with the winner receiving a shot at Sasha Banksโ PRIDE Womenโs Championship in the future. But first, we see Cesaro and a mystery partner take on Breezango.
Cesaro and ??? vs. Breezango
Breezango enter first, coming out to the Nashville crowd as they cheer for the duo. They eagerly await their opponents after they reach the ring, watching the ramp as Cesaroโs music hits. Coming out with a smug look on his face, he stands on the stage as his partner prepares to enterโฆ ITโS CHRIS HERO!!! The Bridgestone Arena explodes as the Kings of Wrestling are reunited here tonight, clapping for them as they march down the ramp in unison. Hero and Fandango start us off tonight, with Hero absolutely dominating his opponent in the beginning stages. The entire match is just the Kings of Wrestling cutting the ring in half, beating down Fandango BEFORE THEY UNLEASHE THE K.R.S. O.N.E.!!! Hero covers Fandango after the Aided Michinoku Driver II, pinning him for the one, two, and three to win the match.
The Kings of Wrestling def. Breezango in 4:55
As the Kings of Wrestling celebrate their victory, we cut away to an incensed Lance Archer standing backstage. In such a rage that he spits as he talks, Archer says that heโs never going to forget the pain that he felt when Luke Gallows smashed his head into that bathroom mirror, and heโs never going to forget the anger that he felt as Karl Anderson spit on his bloodied face afterwards. But he isnโt looking for retribution on those two, however sweet that may feel; Lance Archer wants to take out the man that ordered the hit on him: Jay White. Archer says that he knows the one true way to hurt White the way that he was hurt, and it isnโt via backstage attack or through disrespecting him, itโs through the PRIDE Championship. Heโs i
