AEW's Battle Of The Belts II was taped immediately following the special live edition of AEW Rampage on Friday, April 15, and aired on TNT the following evening. It went down at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas.
It was AEW's fourth hour of TV this week, and while the show didn't feel super important, the in-ring action was thoroughly enjoyable. The show kicked off with a title change when Sammy Guevara regained the TNT Championship from Scorpio Sky -- the man to whom he lost it just 37 days prior.
In the second match, two wrestlers representing Tony Khan's newly-acquired Ring Of Honor competed for the ROH World Championship. Jonathan Gresham successfully retained the title against former champ Dalton Castle in a great match that stood out stylistically to the vast majority of AEW matches. Then there was some post-match madness featuring the Indian behemoth Satnam Singh.
In a thrilling main event, Thunder Rosa successfully retained her AEW Women's World Championship against the "Native Beast" Nyla Rose.
