Detailed Results
1. Non-title: Killer Elite Squad (Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith, Jr.)(w/Michael Elgin) vs. War Machine (Hanson & Raymond Rowe).

Two "old friends" we haven't seen on American TV in way too long, Lance Archer (Hoyt), formerly with TNA & WWE/ECW, and Davey Boy Smith, Jr., pka David Hart Smith, are the current NWA & GHC (Japan) tag champs. Michael Elgin has brought them in to eliminate his former proteges, War Machine.

Problem is, the two teams are too evenly matched. Almost like looking in a mirror. Just when it looked like War Machine would win, Elgin pulled ref Paul Turner out of the ring. Turner could've called for the bell, but opted against it. A decision that he, right now, might be regretting, because the fight spiraled out of control soon after, and Turner finally called a halt to the proceedings, but they had a pull-apart instead.

No Contest.

Footage is shown of last week's title match and the ROH debut of Chris Sabin. The former TNA World, tag, & X Division champ makes his official debut next week, but he had everything to do with the Addiction taking the ROH tag titles from reDRagon.

2. ROH TV title: Jay Lethal (w/House of Truth) vs. Tomasso Ciampa.

Savor this while you can, because this is Ciampa's final ROH match.

It's been over a year since Lethal screwed Ciampa out of the title, and aligned himself with the scum of the world, fashion victim Truth Martini. Donovan Dijak is at ringside, but J. Diesel is not. Hmmm. Seems the rookie's been supplanted as Martini's personal protector by Dijak.

As with the last match, Todd Sinclair used perhaps too much discretion in allowing Martini & Dijak to get involved, but they dipped into the cookie jar one time too many, and Sinclair finally threw them out. Unfortunately, that action came too late to save Ciampa. Lethal took advantage of the distraction and low-blowed Ciampa, setting up the Lethal Injection.

Winner (NOT!): Jay Lethal.

The correct call in this case is to DQ Lethal, then take it a step further and strip him of the TV title, take the ring away from Martini, and suspend the HOT indefinitely, because Lethal, for all of his Ric Flair impressions and bravado, has forgotten how to win. He's just another cheater.

Ciampa attacks Sinclair after and laid him out with 5 knee strikes. His way of saying good-bye.
