3. ROH tag titles: The Addiction def. Future Shock when Frankie Kazarian pinned Kyle O'Reilly after interference from the Kingdom.
From Baltimore:
1. The Briscoes vs. Bloodbound Warriors.
Protracted squash, really. The Warriors have only appeared one other time. While Greywolf & Red Scorpion come across as another team inspired by the legendary Road Warriors, they still have a long way to go. Jay didn't bother with the Jay Driller, instead, two Clotheslines from Hell, wrapped around a Froggy-Bow from Mark, finished Scorpion.
Winners: The Briscoes.
2. Roderick Strong vs. Donovan Dijak (w/Truth Martini & J. Diesel).
Earlier, Martini & Jay Lethal cut a promo for Lethal's TV title defense vs. Hanson next week, referencing the other Hanson, the pop group from the 90's. Better than you think. Dijak twice tried his finisher, Feast Your Eyes, but both times it was blocked. Martini did nothing more than his premature victory laps. Please send him to Siberia. Strong came back, hit the running knees, backbreaker, then the sick kick, to send Dijak off a loser.
Winner: Roderick Strong.
Post-match, Lethal ambushed Strong, effectively starting a 4-on-1, but War Machine made the save to set up Hanson-Lethal for next week.
Inside ROH: Mandy Leon hypes All-Star Extravaganza. Kyle O'Reilly talks about challenging the World champ.
3. ROH tag titles: The Addiction (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian w/Chris Sabin) vs. Future Shock (Kyle O'Reilly & Adam Cole).
Steve Corino is back after a week off, and going bat-shizzle crazy over this one. Sabin joins the announcers and basically stays out of the way. All well and good until the final couple of minutes. O'Reilly accidentally shoves ref Todd Sinclair. Sabin's whining about the lack of a DQ. Kazarian with a low blow. The Kingdom comes down just as Kazarian is tapping to Armageddon. Cole chases Maria Kanellis-Bennett out, with Michael Bennett & Matt Taven following after their interference didn't wrap things up. Celebrity Rehab finally did, and the champs retain, though in my mind they should be DQd, as Sinclair stupidly let Bennett run his yap too long, and should've tossed him.
Winners: The Addiction.
Post-match, it's 3-on-1 on O'Reilly before Bobby Fish & the Young Bucks made the save. Of course, the champs bailed.
Next week: Hanson-Lethal.
