When we return, the theme for Orange Cassidy hits and out comes the “Freshly Squeezed” one with his trademark jean jacket and jeans on, along with his back pack containing his AEW International Championship. He settles in the ring to a big pop and his music dies down.

Now the theme for The Undisputed Kingdom hits and out comes one-third of the ROH World Six-Man Tag-Team Champions, Matt Taven, accompanied by other members of the group. He settles in the ring and the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running.

Cassidy gets the offensive jump on Taven early on as the fans rally behind him with loud “Freshly Squeezed!” chants. Taven ends up hitting a picture-perfect drop kick to slow down Cassidy’s momentum. The fight spills out to the floor where Taven bounces Cassidy’s dome off the steel ring steps.

Taven goes to whip Cassidy into the ring barricade on the floor, but Cassidy leaps it like a track runner leaping over a hurdle at the speed of light. The fans popped big for that. Shortly after that, Taven follows him into the crowd and they continue to brawl there as the Valentine’s Day Texas Death Match continues into a commercial break.

As we settle back in from the break, we see Taven leap off the stage to put Cassidy through a table with a flying elbow smash. The ref begins her count but Taven ends put picking Cassidy up and suplexing him through a table set up long-ways. Taven hits a running knee to a seated Cassidy on the stage.

Cassidy is bleeding profusely now. The action continues and things build to another wild high spot, with another table set up long ways leaning on the commentary desk. Taven leans Cassidy on it and heads into the ring. He hits the ropes and leaps over the top with a big dive. Cassidy moves and Taven goes through the table violently for a “Holy sh*t!” chant.

“The Freshly Squeezed” one finds a heart-shaped box with a note on it from Chuck Taylor of Best Friends. Cassidy opens it to see it’s full of thumb tacks. He spreads them throughout the mat in the ring, but Taven ends up knocking him off the top-rope where Cassidy lands back-first on them.

Taven goes to follow up with a frog splash but Cassidy moves and Taven lands on the tacks. Cassidy hits a DDT on Taven on the tacks and now Taven is bleeding like a stuck pig. Cassidy heads out and grabs a big chain which he wraps around the ring rope. Mike Bennett comes out and attacks Cassidy.

There are no disqualifications because this is a Texas Death Match. Bennett brings a bunch of chairs in the ring. Trent Beretta comes down to the ring with a pipe in his hand. He beats down Bennett with it but then Taven smashes a chair over his head. Taven then turns around into an Orange Punch. Cassidy follows up with a Beach Break on a chair and tacks.

Taven rips Cassidy’s pockets off so he can’t put his hands in them. Cassidy wraps a chain around his hand and lands another Orange Punch. Roderick Strong runs out and hits Beretta but then Cassidy throws him out of the ring. The ref’s count hits ten on Taven, who is still down. The bell sounds. Cassidy retains his International title in a bloody St. Valentine’s Day Massacre of a Texas Death Match. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!

Winner: Orange Cassidy
