1. ACH def. Takaki Watanabe.

2. War Machine def. the House of Truth when Hanson pinned J. Diesel.

3. Adam Page pinned Tim Hughes.

4. The Kingdom def. reDRagon when Matt Taven pinned Bobby Fish.

From Baltimore:

1. ACH vs. Takaki Watanabe.

Very evenly paced opener. Kevin Kelly & Steve Corino put over ACH's injuries sustained at Death Before Dishonor at the hands of the Decade. They started off by trading chops (tons of "Whoooo"'s from the crowd), then everything fell into place. Last mistake loses in this case, and it was Watanabe who made the mistake, leading ACH to hit the Midnight Star (450 splash).

Winner: ACH.

"Earlier today", Nigel McGuinness addressed the fans, and announced that:

1. Roderick Strong would get a rematch vs. Jay Lethal in Philadelphia on 8/21 for the ROH World title.

2. Lethal would face Hanson for the TV title "in three weeks" (August 29-30 episode), with the winner to face Bobby Fish of reDRagon for the title in San Antonio at All-Star Extravaganza.

3. The winner of the Lethal-Strong world title match in Philadelphia would then face the other half of reDRagon, Kyle O'Reilly, in San Antonio.

2. War Machine vs. House of Truth (J. Diesel & Donovan Dijak w/Truth Martini & Jay Lethal).

Lethal joined the announcers on commentary, and they began the build for his TV title defense vs. Hanson. Spoke in his normal voice for most of this segment. I honestly thought the HOT would give War Machine problems, but that was not to be. Diesel is still greener than grass, so of course he ends up doing the job here. Dijak ate the spin kick of doom, but it was Diesel who ended up suffering Fallout.

Winners: War Machine.

Lethal cut a promo, doing his Ric Flair mimic, post-match.

3. Adam Page (w/BJ Whitmer & Colby Corino).

Total squash. Hughes was given no chance. A quick beatdown, then the Rite of Passage (Omori Driver).

Winner: Adam Page.

Whitmer cut a promo post-match, calling out the in absentia Jay Briscoe, which got the announcers upset. Of course, Whitmer would've continued taunting Steve Corino, but after what happened two weeks ago, well, Steve's night was over, as Nigel came back and had to remove Corino from the desk, but Whitmer, who supposedly had ACL surgery, was told to return to the back as well.

4. The Kingdom (Michael Bennett & Matt Taven w/Maria Kanellis) vs. reDRagon (Fish & O'Reilly).

Adam Cole, gradually growing estranged from the Kingdom, took over on color commentary, and put both teams over, continuing his face turn. Best match on the show up until the finish. The two teams are evenly matched, but in a fair fight, reDRagon would get the measure of the Kingdom. Bennett & Taven resorted to divide & conquer at the end, with a Hail Mary (spike piledriver) on the floor to O'Reilly, which made Cole upset, then one to Fish in the ring after he was speared by Bennett.

Winners: The Kingdom.

Ref Paul Turner was within his rights to reverse the result when Bennett & Taven continued the attack post match, and set up for another Hail Mary to Fish, but Cole ran in and broke that up, forcing Maria to call off the dogs. She should've been tossed to even the sides in the first place. Face it. The act is stale. As this show aired, reDRagon are in England, likely on their way home. Revenge is nigh.
